(Levi)

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to make of this. I think Seven knew I was going to break our no present rule, but I never expected anything from her. Now, I’m sitting here staring at the most cryptic present I’ve ever been given. There is a letter with my name on the outside of the thick off white envelope, and a set of keys.

“What is all this?” I look at her, and she is damn near bouncing up and down on the couch. A big change since she was dead asleep on me a few minutes ago. I pick the keys up out of the box, and she fumbles with her cell phone. She taps the screen a couple times and clings the device to her chest.

“You ready?” she asks, and all I can do is nod. She turns the phone in my direction, and there is a picture of a house. The white picket fence type. Its blue with perfect country white shutters. A big wrap around porch, and a perfectly manicured lawn.

“Those keys, go to this house,” she takes a deep breath, and drops the phone. “I know I wasn't ready before when you wanted to make this step, but I needed to do it on my terms, Levi. This is our new home, it’s a five bedroom county home in Greenwich. We can both still commute into the city. This is our home, Levi. Our family home.”

Of all the things I’ve never expected from this woman, it was her giving up the city. Giving up her easy commute, her penthouse palace. Seven James moving to the 'burbs? Wow. I can't say anything because, for once, this woman who typically drives me up a wall has left me utterly speechless. Which is pretty damn hard.

It’s more than just a house, it’s a new chapter for us. I can still hear her asking me to leave when I brought up getting a place together. Those weeks were fucking agony. But, it all makes perfect sense now. The control freak herself could make this step, as long as she was the one initiating it.

“This is the best gift, well, besides our baby,” I grab her and pull her into my lap. She kisses my cheek, and squeezes me tight.

“Open the envelope,” she whispers in my ear.

“Not the documents for the house?” she shakes her head, and I pull out the letter.
