Chapter 22: New Home!


=========================

Logan and Ashley are in Orlando today because they have three viewings scheduled, they want to move down here so their closure to family and friends, although Ashley isn't really talking to her dad right now, Rick wants to get back into wrestling and Ashley's worried he's going to get himself hurt, Logan shared her thoughts but was also with Rick, he'd hate to have to say bye to Wrestling as well.

Ashley: ... I just don't get it. Shawn gave my dad a great send off years ago and he just keeps going back.

Logan listened to her vent while driving down towards Orlando, their going to be staying with Becky and Colby tonight before going back up to Charlotte tomorrow to hopefully start packing but that's putting the cart before the horse, they like the look of the places they've picked out but just because the pictures look good, doesn't mean the product does.

Logan: Look. As much as I love and respect your old man, he is old enough to make his own choices...

Logan did like Rick, he's an Icon in the wrestling world, everyone knows who Ric Flair is but sometimes the man can't let go of the good old days, sure he and Ashely could never dream of leaving the WWE, Ashley's only just going to be making her return this Friday after Wrestlemania, she was gone for a few weeks and hated it, loved the fact their trying to build their own family but missed the road.

Ashley: ... But what if he gets hurt...

She cut him off before he could finish, he knows she's worried about her father, so is he to be  honest, Rick's always been good to Logan, helping him out when he needed it, hell, Logan might be a 10x World Champion if it wasn't for the help of Ric Flair and others around the WWE, so he gets it, but he also doesn't want to see his wife beating herself up about it.

Logan: ... Then let him get hurt. You've done everything you can to keep him safe, if he wants to go down this road then let him...

Logan reached over to her hand as he tried to focus on the open road, it's a school day so most the kids are still locked inside but that doesn't mean that he can take his eyes off the road, all it takes is one split second and it's over for them, Ashley helped him though taking his hand into hers and letting his thumb rub at the back of it as a form of comfort, it worked. 

Logan: ... You just need to be there when he realises his mistake and turns back around.

Ashley chuckled as he's normally the level headed of the two, sure their both as cool headed as the next but when it comes to this stuff, it is Logan who keeps her on the floor and not in pure concern, but he's right, she can't stop her father from doing what he wants, she can only be here for him when he needs her to be, she has to stop focusing all her time trying to get him to do something he's just not going to do.

Ashley: Your right. Thanks.

She kissed the back of his hand making him chuckle as well, so he returned the favor, kissing the back of her hand as well, it was then just a little silent, both not saying much because their getting closure and closure to Orlando, not long now, the only sound in the car was a small bark from Milo telling his mommy and daddy that he's awake now.

Ashley: There is my little baby ~

It made Logan smile seeing Ashley fan over Milo, what started off as just a present for him has turned into something they can't live without, they both love Milo and can't wait to add another one to their family, idea of them both having a baby just makes them smile, it's how they know their ready, Logan's made peace with his demons and they've even agreed to move over to Florida with them.

Roux: There here!

Logan pulled in front of Colby and Becky's place, Roux is out in the yard just playing with her toys with Becky sitting at the outdoor bench probably working on that book she's been doing, Logan couldn't do that, he's a really private person and much rather keep his story to himself, sure the WWE Universe know the basics but there's some parts of it, he'd much rather keep to himself.

Logan: We're here!

Ashley sighed with a smile as Logan shouted back, climbed out the car and hoisted the charging girl into the air, it's still crazy to all of them that he didn't think he was a good role model, they can understand now why he'd think that but it's still crazy to them.

Roux: Did you bring Milo?

Logan looked to be thinking for a second, he indicated for her to give him a second,Becky and Ashley shared a small hug then went to watching them as Logan looked in the back seat of the car, he pretended to move stuff around for a second but then pocked his head back out while stretching the back of his head.

Logan: I swear he packed his little suitcase with us. I'm sure he's in here, give me a second.

Roux just stood there patiently waiting while Becky and Ashley smiled to them, Colby's actually not here right now, he's been called to the PC to speak with Hunter about the new World Heavyweight Championship, it's going to be a bad few weeks for AJ Styles that's for sure, Logan finished having a look around the back of the car again before holding Milo in his free hand and making it so Roux can see him just through the window.

Logan: No, he's not here. He must have changed his mind.

The two, apparently, only adults here watched with smiles as Roux kept pointing Milo out to Logan but he was mucking around and pretending like he didn't see the bulldog, even going as far as moving him out the way and still not being able to see him, however, Milo apparently grew tired of Logan teasing the small Lopez because he barked once looking up to his daddy.

Logan: Spoil sport. Go on then.

Logan put Milo down and he ran right up to Roux, Milo loves kids and kids love Milo, they even took him backstage at house shows once or twice, people just love Milo, he's great so while Logan and Roux played with Milo, Ashley and Becky made small talk, just catching up till it was time for them to go and view their first house, it wasn't far from here but then again, neither of them are, Logan and Ashley made sure to pick a place not far from Colby and Becky and not far from the PC.

They also made sure there's enough room for Amanda, Johnny and her boyfriend when they decide to join them, yes, they did have a place down in Orlando but that was a holiday home, one they rented from this guy on Airbnb, only they tried to buy it but he's not looking to sell so they need to find a new place to call home, Logan and Ashley both love the fact their willing to move home to be with them, well, Amanda moved from England to be with Logan in America so going from Charlotte to Orlando on a more permanent bases isn't a tough challenge for her.

Ashley was more then happy for them to stay with them, for as long as they needed, in fact it was her idea, Ashley honestly loves Amanda, sure she has her own sister but with them being in different occupations and her having her own family they rarely get to see each other, although Ashley has planned for a house warming party and made sure her sister and brother are coming, she just hopes that Logan will be okay with it.

Estate Agent: Mr. Kenway, Mrs Kenway? 

Logan and Ashley arrived at the first place and got out to meet the women who will be showing them around the places, all Logan did was call them and tell them a price range and ask for a selection, so that's why their here at house number one, not correcting her because Ashley is technically not Kenway, she's Kenway-Fliehr but she didn't mind, she liked the name Ashley Kenway, it has a nice ring to it, it was Logan that insisted she kept her name as well.

Estate Agent: Ready to see your new home?

Logan and Ashley shrugged with a small chuckle, Ashley gave out a small "Sure", they could tell this will be a long process because of her insistence, they were hoping for a nice chill day to look at homes but it's not starting off as chill, Logan and Ashley just pushed past it and tried to enjoy themselves looking around other peoples homes, starting with the cheaper of the two...

... Sure it was nice and Ashley seemed to like it but there was something off with Logan, he's not sure what it is but he didn't like it on first glance, he obviously took the tour and liked the inside, just something didn't sit right about it.

Estate Agent: This one the sellers are willing to go 20,000 bellow market value. Taking the cost down to $945,000.

Logan leant on the dining table as Ashley pottered around in the living room, the Estate Agent still stood there with a goofy grin which honestly was just annoying Logan at this point, no one is that cheerful in day to day life, happy, yes, he's happy but not that happy.

Ashley: I like it. It's comfy.

Logan nodded while looking around, they both looked to him waiting to see what he thought but he didn't need to say anything because they could both tell by the look on his face that this wasn't what he's looking for.

Logan: I dunno. It's a little... small. I mean this is supposed to be our last home, this is us and nothing else. I just don't feel it here.

Ashley's learnt that his gut is right more times then not to ignore it in this scenario, if he says that it doesn't feel right then Ashley's happy to skip past it, she can't se anything wrong with it but they need to find the perfect place for them, not one of them but both of them, so they followed the Estate Agent to the next property which looked a lot more their speed...

... Sure it's much bigger then their home back in Charlotte but their looking for a bigger place, their looking to make this their last home, no more moving after this, this is to be the house their going to raise their family in, it has to be perfect, so once again, after the tour was done, they met back up outside in the driveway, the Estate Agent needed to take a call so Logan and Ashley met her outside to talk about this one.

Estate Agent: So this one is actually a little above your budget, the sellers are stuck at $1.6 million. I've tried to negotiate lower with them before but where they don't actually need to sell, they hold all the cards.

Logan and Ashley shared a small look, their budget was around $1.2 million nothing more, they can afford $1.6 million but it's just a lot more then they wanted to spend so they needed to come back to this one, the Estate Agent directed them to the third and last property on the list for the day, if this one doesn't work out then they needed to keep looking, however it was promising when they pulled through the gate and up the pathed drive...

... Like the one before it was perfect, only this one seemed to be more out the way, it was further away from the PC and their friends then the last one and looking around this one, they can tell that they wanted the place before, it was just a warmer feeling for them both, see because Logan liked this one, Ashley however didn't, the only one they both liked is out of their budget.

Estate Agent: This one is right in the price range for you, $1.1 million...

Logan and Ashley stopped her because they already made up their mind, they wanted to pay for the one outside their budget but it's the place they want, they do say you can't put a price on happiness and they both are happy with the second house.

Ashley: It's okay. We'll take the second house.

The Estate Agent looked like she was going to do a backflip, realtors get around 8% out here so she's getting a nice fat check worth $128,000 or there about's, all while Logan and Ashley just lost $1.6 million but at least they found their dream home from it...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Just curious, if you could, which of the houses would you pick 1, 2 or 3? Logan and Ashley are choosing 2. Which would you choose?*
