Chris's POV-

I was working from home since the last few days.Raiya and Moose went to Mom's and Dad's place since Sonia and Daphne were staying there for the time being.

Daphne had decided to shift here from Indiana.She was a bit concerned about it but Faith and Mom had assured her that we would all be there for her.Tristan was very happy with the decision.He was already in love with Sonia;took her and Raiya for ice cream and stuff.The girls got along really well too.I was happy Raiya finally had a female cousin now.

It was just Faith and I in the house right now and of course her cat too.Weird that one;behaved more like a dog than a cat.

I heard some noise.Faith must have came back.She had joined work almost a week after New Years.She was happy with her job but it did take a lot of effort on her part to interact with teenagers.I don't know how she does it though..depressed teenagers are probably the saddest and moodiest.Its heart breaking, seriously.

She came and just flopped down on our bed.Looked really tired.

"Hey,you okay?You look very exhausted today."

She massaged her neck slowly and hummed.

"It was a long day,Chris.A 14 year old girl tried to cut her wrist in the and..it was all so chaotic.Her parents were just so surprised and well,it was bad."

I sighed.

"Let me do this for you,I give good massages."

I winked at her.She just laughed and pulled her hair in a bun and lied on the bed.

I kept squeezing her shoulders gently.Her eyes were closed.

"We will order something today,you don't have to make dinner."

She smiled and thanked me.

"Chris?"

"Hmm?"

"I think someone is stalking me."

My fingers stopped.

"What do you mean?Are you alright?"

She sat up and looked at me.

"I don't know.This week,it felt like someone follows me everywhere I go.I have turned so many times to look who is this person,but seriously I find no one."

"Are you sure? This sounds serious,Faith."

"I think so.My gut says,there is someone."

"Alright.Tomorrow,I am dropping you and picking you up.We will go see the police if it happens again."

She gave a nod and yawned.

"I feel so sleepy and I miss Raiya too."

"She will be back next week,Faith.Now,you take a nap.I'll be done with my work in 30 minutes.After that we can order whatever you want."

She smiled and went under the covers.

The stalker thing kept running through my mind.I hope it's nothing serious.

After I was done with my work.I looked around the bedroom and smiled.

Faith had done a number on this room.Ever since Rayanna passed away,I had not bothered to decorate or even get it colored.

Faith had personally decorated the room and now it looked cozy and beautiful.My mom could not stop gushing at how the house looked so beautiful,when my parents visited us for Christmas.But for me,this would always be a painful spot.

Anyway,I seriously did not want to wake her up now.She looked so cozy and happy in those blankets.I will wake her up after 20 minutes.Right now,I will use this time to take a shower.

When I came back,Faith was already up.

"Chris,can we go somewhereout?I don't really want to order.Look outside,the weather looks so pretty."

It sure was.It was a full moon.Sure it was a cold January night,but the sky was still clear and it looked beautiful.

"Alright.Get ready.Where do you want to go?"

"Umm.I don't know.Hey! let's go to "Bella's Home",I am craving some serious Italian."

She grinned.

"Okay,let's go.You get ready."

I also had a surprise for her.I just hope she likes it.I mean it's going to be a big change for us.

After we were done with dinner at Bella's,Faith was a happy camper.That woman sure did loved her Pizza.

"Giulia literally has magical hands.I mean that was the best."

I grinned.

"I know.We will come here more often.But before that,I have to discuss something."

She blinked at me.

"I don't know if you are going to like it or not.Come on,I want to show you something."

"What is it?Is everything ok,Chris?"

"It's perfect.Dont worry.Not much far from here."

We drove for fifteen minutes and there it was.

Faith looked at me with her eyes all wide.

"We are moving?"

I sighed.It was bound to come out.

"I had thinking about it since the last one year,Faith.Before we even met.This house,I have been saving for this since I started working.Its kind off like a dream you know."

She grinned at me.

"Are you kidding me!Chris this place is gorgeous.Hey,but are we good? Financially,it's so extravagant and so,we have to start cutting on to the budget right.Ok,so.."

She was blabbering now.I just shook my head and laughed.

"Faith,we are doing fine.This house is totally in our budget,don't worry."

She smiled at me.

"Hey,I want to do all the decoration.This is so exciting.Oh my God!Raiya can have her personal swing too.She is going to love it Chris.I just know."

She was smiling like a little child.I was happy she took it so well.

One thing I have noticed about Faith,she is a very adaptable person.She takes all the changes so positively.I mean this woman is something.

"So you want to take a tour?"

"I thought you will never ask."

She gave me a dramatic eye roll and pulled me along.

By the end,Faith was in a total dream like state.

"Chris,this mansion is straight out of a Disney fairy tale.Its like those old Victorian houses.I think I am going to cry."

And she did have some tears.Seriously.

"Hey,Faith.Why are you crying?"

"I don't know.I am just so happy and so overwhelmed.Six months ago,I was just a woman unsure about what would life be like when I move here.Then I meet Raiya,We get married and now this.I have been trying to take everything one step at a time but this one such a shock..and I don't know."

I can totally imagine.Our lives took a 360 since she moved here.

"Faith,let me tell you one thing.Things have been happening so fast and so spontaneously with us,we are bound to be confused but you have been so perfect.I am a wreck Faith.Yet you have managed to hold us like any normal family.You know there was another reason too why I took this step."

"What is it?"

She mumbled.

"That house,it holds too many memories.Bad ones.We are still sleeping in the bedroom where Rayanna..I wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares.Those flashbacks,and then I look at you sleeping beside me.Its not fair,Faith.I am still stuck in the past..but I want to move forward,with Raiya and you.I thought this would be the most difficult thing to say but I do want to give us a serious try.This would be the first step."

She wiped her tears and smiled at me.

"You give me more credit than I deserve.I want to work on us too.Us getting married was not a voluntary decision but us staying married would be one."

I smiled at her.

"Yep.It is."

And for the first time since we got married,I gently rubbed her cheeks.They were all cold and pink from the wind.

She seemed so quite.So calm.

I leaned down and slowly pressed my lips against hers.She felt so tiny in my arms as I pulled her closer in my embrace.

Her fingers played with my hair and my hands were all over her long brunette traces and her small waist.

It was a short beautiful moment.Her lips tasted like strawberries.So sweet.

When when we pulled away,she was blushing furiously.Her eyes were everywhere but on my face.

"Faith,I think we should do this more often."

She just gave me a small smile and then giggled.

And then surprised me by saying..

"Maybe we should."

That was the most intimate thing that had happened between us.It was sweet and special.

"It's getting cold now.Your nose is all red.Come on,let's go now."

She rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Oh yes.Lets go."

The car ride was filled with us discussing when we would be moving and also the upcoming Europe tour that she had planned.

When we came back home,it was already 10.

That night I finally slept without any nightmares.Maybe this was all I needed.One step at a time.

Another update is here.

So they finally kissed and it seems like Chris is also coming forward with his feelings.

The house is beautiful isn't it?Well,that is my "Some day" kind off dream house.

That would cost a fortune too..well doesn't cost much to dream.Does it?*sighs*

Anyway, hope you guys like this update.Please vote and comment.
