"This is it. It's really happening!"
Who: Kitty and Xi'an
What: Months of house hunting are over! New place!
When: Thursday
Where: old apartment mostly
Status: complete
Rating: PG for innuendo
Kitty looked around the apartment. The movers had already taken most of the boxes and big ticket items, and she'd talked Scott into lugging the Shi'ar computer out on the Blackbird, under cover of night. They would install at at the Ranch. It seemed the best, most secure place for it. It would also alleviate the danger to Xi'an and the twins from having that technology near them.
She closed the lid on one of the last boxes - she'd wanted to move her personal computer system herself. And Xi'an's leg. She didn't want anyone but them touching it.
Xi'an smiled and made her way over to Kitty. It was almost hard to believe that they were moving into a house of their own. The twins were very excited about having their own rooms.
She ran a hand through Kitty's hair and smiled. "Almost done?"
Kitty shivered, leaning into her lover's fingers. She LOVED it when Xi'an did that, just loved it. "Yeah. Just this stuff here." She gestured towards the boxes, and exhaled deeply. Turning, she slipped an arm around Xi'an's waist, kissing her lightly. Then again a little more deeply.
"First night in the new house. Bet the kids are already causing chaos in their rooms."
Xi'an smiled after the kiss. She nuzzled Kitty's cheek and sighed happily. She chuckled softly.
"Mmm. They're probably planning out how they want to decorate them. And probably running through the rest of the house because the newness is still fully intact."
Kitty grinned. There were any number of things she could think about them getting up to in the new house, especially when the kids were at school. "I love you." She said, with the sort of tone that indicated she couldn't keep the words at bay any longer.
"Come on, lets get this stuff loaded. We'll get something to eat on the way."
"I love you, too." Xi'an gave Kitty a hug and a quick kiss. Having a new house really was an amazing feeling. She eased away from Kitty slowly and picked up one of the remaining boxes.
"All right. Let's get this show on the road," she said with a smile.
It was a giddy feeling. Kitty kissed Xi'an back and then loaded up the Uhaul with the last of the boxes. She crawled in and waited for Xi'an to buckle up, before driving off. One stop at the leasing office to drop off their keys and then they were on the road!
Kitty reached over, stroking Xi'an's leg. "This is it. It's really happening!"
Xi'an grinned and gave Kitty's hand a squeeze. "It really is!"
The prospect of cuddling on the couch in a house seemed a lot more exciting than in an apartment, Kitty thought. Everything seemed more exciting. She wished Clarice and Illyana were around. The two had gone on a vacation of sorts. A bucket list type vacation.
She sighed, and twisted her hand so she could touch the ring on Xi'an's finger. It made her feel better.
"I was thinking, once we're settled in. Maybe we could take the kids to Disneyland?"
Xi'an grinned. "That sounds like a great idea, and I know Leong and Nga will agree. It'll be a great way to celebrate."
"You just want me to get a sexy Mulan outfit or something," Kitty joked, flooring the gas to get the U-Haul up the onramp to the freeway. The engine lumbered, but they made it!
Xi'an laughed. "I just want us to have fun as a family. Which is pretty much guaranteed." She breathed a sigh of relief once they made it onto the freeway.
"I know." She glanced over at Xi'an and winked. "I look forward to that part too. I never thought I'd say that. I never expected to ever do the mom thing, really..."
Truthfully, she still had a bit of a hard time wrapping her mind around that part. Being a mom. She was a mom. She even made them sandwiches before school when Xi'an had to go in to work early. So it made her next words even more important.
"I might be able to work from home full time soon."
Xi'an's eyebrows went up. "Really? Kitty, that would be amazing!" Both for Kitty, and for all the other things in life that would be made easier by Kitty's ability to work mainly from home.
"Yes!" Kitty bounced in her seat. "I've been working with them for awhile now. I figure the bulk of the work I do can be done at home. Only certain things would require me going in."
"That is so great!" She gave Kitty's hand another squeeze.
Kitty drove in silence after that, until they were able to leave the freeway. One quick stop to pick up dinner, and then they were driving up to the house. Kitty back up the drive-way, and then shut the engine off.
She exhaled, and looked at Xi'an. "Well..ready to be officially moved in?"
"I am. I really, really am." Xi'an smiled back at her, then leaned over to kiss her.
