Lexi could see Max's happiness in his gift and that made her content. She loved his sports car but it might be a bit difficult to get everyone into it if they kept going like they were. When he came over to help her in, however, his words made her slap at him in horror.
“Somehow I knew I was going to end up having to lift heavy weight…”
"MAX BLAIR!!! YOU ARE SO GOING TO PAY FOR THAT REMARK!" the blond declared, hitting him lightly on the chest. "This is YOUR baby I'm carrying around! You wouldn't look any better in my shoes!!!"
Humphing a bit, she put a foot up on the nerf bars and tried to climb into the vehicle. Unfortunately, it was ruined by Max's having to help her into the seat. Sighing, Lexi arched a brow at him and rubbed her tummy. In a whisper, she continued.
"You are SO going to have to rub my feet when we get home. Thats payback, buster!"
Giving the other couple a look, she continued in a louder voice.
"Whatcha waiting on, Jordan? Help your wife into the truck and lets go!!! We can stop by a few of those properties before we go baby furniture shopping. Maybe you'll get lucky and find the perfect place today! It certainly FEELS like a lucky day!"
Giving her husband a quick kiss before he pulled away to go to the drivers side, she let all the love she felt for him shine in her eyes. She definitely felt like the luckiest woman on earth.

Curse was still admiring the vehicle before him when he heard his wifes next words. A broad grin spread over his face as he pulled her closer.
"Me? Buy a car? You mean I could actually DO THAT?"
"Darlin.. You can do anything you want... As long as you don't try to buy a whole city or something. I've got a plenty of cash stashed away for a rainy day...."
Tilting his head back a bit, the sandy haired hunter laughed softly. How well off they were really hadn't sunk into her pretty little head yet. He kind of figured even if he showed her is portfolio, she'd still not comprehend it all. With a large trust fund from his grandparents, the proceeds from the sale of the ranch, investments, and his military pay, neither one of them would ever have to work a day if they didn't want to.
"I think we should get in the car now so I can sit down. I suddenly feel a little lightheaded."
Tugging on her hand, Curse was just starting to head to the Hummer when Lexi's voice rang out.
"Whatcha waiting on, Jordan? Help your wife into the truck and lets go!!! We can stop by a few of those properties before we go baby furniture shopping. Maybe you'll get lucky and find the perfect place today! It certainly FEELS like a lucky day!"
"We're coming, blondie. Just hold your horses. We just thought we had better give you a head start .. You know.. with all your extra weight and all... Thought Max might need a few moments to load you in."
Hearing the blonds gasp, Curse winked at his wife and escorted her around so he could help her into the shiny SUV. Pressing a kiss on her lips, he went to the other side and climbed in too.
"Ready when you are Captain!" he joked.

Max was unable to hold back a laugh, especially when he took in the look on his wife’s face. Even when she hit him in the chest, he kept on laughing. Not so much laughing at her, but laughing for the simple fact that he had her as his wife. Never before he could even imagine he would love a woman so much, and he was pleased that fate had proved him wrong.
Rubbing his chest playfully where she had hit him, he let out a teasing “ouch” before moving on to help her climb onto the black hummer. How she had managed to sneak a beast like this without him figuring it out was beyond him.
Making sure his wife was comfortable and safe into her seat, he made his way to the driver’s seat and climbed in. It was a big difference sitting on the hummer, nothing like he was used to with his sport cars.
Closing the car door, he placed one hand lightly on Lexi’s belly and then moved to give her a kiss, letting his eyes reveal the love he felt for her.
“Love you goddess…but about that rubbing your feet talk…well, we will see about that when we get back home.”
Giving her a wink to show her he was only teasing, he placed the keys in the ignition and smiled hearing the engine roar. Off course he wouldn’t speed or drive recklessly with pregnant women inside the car, but the sound of the engine made him smile nevertheless.
“Where to my love?” he asked pulling the car out of the garage.

Giving her husband a mockingly threatening look, Lexi shook her head and then smiled as everyone piled into the Hummer. Curse's comment, however, made her turn around with an arched brow and glare.
"Watch it buster... Your living in our house at the moment and I CAN get even. All I have to do it talk to Betsy. She loves me and will do ANYTHING I ask... Including putting a laxative in those cookies you've been snitching. I'll ask her to make a few especially for you and then we'll see how mouthy you get!"
Turning back to her husband, she heard his question and then thought for a moment. Glancing at the couple in the back, she said.
"Well, how about that place just over a ways that came up for sale? I think its ajoins our back acreage and would be within walking distance for Jo, I and the kids as they grow. Why don't we stop there???"

Snickering at the witchs starting comment, Curse soon found himself looking from the blond to her husband and back.
"Man.. She wouldn't really do that would she??" he asked a bit hesitantly. "Cause.. that would be really uncool. I'd have to be planning some revenge of my own."
When the couple in front simply ignored him, he looked to his wife and tried to act unconcerned. Mentally, however, he made a note to refrain from weight comments too. Catching the tale end of Lexi's question, he leaned forward and nodded.
"Yeah.. thats the one I wanted to show Jo first.... I was thinking she might like being close to Lexi. Especially closer to time for the babies to arrive. It might be a blessing..."

JoJo climbed into the Hummer with help from Curse and got herself buckled in. As Curse got in and sat beside her she elbowed him in the ribs when he made the comment about Lexi's extra weight. She waited while Lexi did her own chewing out before she said anything. Turning to Curse she gave him a look, raising her eyebrows. "You better be careful you know. That's gonna be me in the not to distant future. Providing I figure out how to keep food down. If you somehow survive Lexi with those comments, I don't think you'll survive me. I tend to get a bit cranky. Shoot first and ask questions later in those situations. Something my mama taught me." Jo gave him a grin and a wink then turned back toward the front. Max asked Lexi where she wanted to go. Jo listened intently as Lexi said they should go check out a property first. One that was right within walking distance of Max and Lexi's place. "Really? There's a place that close? That would be cool. It would be nice to be nearby. Does it have a pool?" Sitting back in the seat Jo leaned her head back. Turning slightly to look over at Curse and smiling.

With a big grin, Max glanced over his wife and then to Curse’s worried mug in the rear view mirror. That would give him something to think over and behave a little better at least for a while. Surely he would at least think twice before taking Betsy’s cookies at least.
Taking the car into the streets, he was surprised how smoothly it handed for such a big beast. Not even close in comparison to the Buggati, but it still was a smooth ride nevertheless. He could already imagine their kid in the back seat, and that made him smile. Who could tell him years ago that he would be looking forward to the birth of his child?
Driving to the house he and Curse had checked earlier, he figured it would be nice to have him and Jo within a walking distance of them. By the time they lived together, Max grew fond of the couple and it would be nice if their kids grew to be friends as well.

Directing Max to go to the property just on the other side of the pond, Lexi relaxed into the seats and watched as he navigated the roads. She was actually pretty excited herself about seeing how the couple liked it because she was more anxious than she wanted to admit about the coming birth. She couldn't ask Max to stay at the house ALL the time and having Jo nearby would be a comfort. She also thought that it would be fun to have a friend around as the kids grew to do things with. The property adjoining their own had quite a bit of room, a beautiful house and shared the pond with them. Between the two estates, the kids would have plenty of room to run and play along with room for the mothers to have some sanity.
As everyone feel quite for the short voyage, the pretty blond slipped her hand over her husbands and gave it a slight sqeeze. She would never have believed she could settle into such a "normal" sort of life. All the horror of before seemed ages ago.
Finally reaching the set of ornate metal gates of their destination, Lexi watched them open up and glanced in the back. Curse's eyes were glued on Jo's face and Lexi saw him lean over to say something to Jo.

Curse was content to sit next to his wife as the other man drove them to their destination. Holding her hand, he looked out across the beautiful landscape and then smiled as a pair of metal gates appeared. Max slowed and then the gates opened allowing them entrance. The Hummer rolled up the wide, lined driveway and the hunters eyes became glued upon his wife. He wanted to take in her first expressions so that he would know what she was really thinking.
"There is is, Darlin. What do you think so far?" he asked as a beautiful house came into view and then a barn and a few other outbuildings.
Curse liked this place as it had all of his requirements while allowing for some peace and quiet. The fence around the property would keep out unwanted interlopers while making it feel like their own little peace of heaven on earth. The barn looked to be in good shape and the grass would substain a few head of horses. There was also some woods nearby that kids could play in and a pool in back for those wickedly hot days the state was known for.

JoJo sat quietly for the ride over to the property. Curse had reached over and taken her hand at some point. The ride wasn't all that long but it did seem like quite a ride for a place that was essentially a next door neighbor. Jo started to wonder if they could put some sort of driveway between the two houses to make it easier to move back and forth. Something they could drive or walk on. A nice paved stretch to make it easier to push a stroller down.
They hadn't even gotten to the house yet and Jo was already thinking of things they could do to it. They finally arrived at the front of the property and made their way through a fairly large set of what seemed to be black iron gates.
As they drove down the driveway Jo let her eyes take in everything. You could tell that the grounds had been meticulously maintained. Jo leaned forward in her seat to look around. There were several buildings you could see. Most prominent were the main house which looked amazing and the large barn that was set further back. "There it is, Darlin. What do you think so far?" Jo turned to look at her husband when his voice broke through her trance. She smiled wide at him and her features were set with a look of amazement from taking everything in. "I think it's friggin' awesome!" Leaning over she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She quickly unbuckled herself and jumped down from the vehicle as it rolled to a stop in front of the house. Like a little kid on Christmas she started toward the place anxious to take a look around.

Arriving at the property he had checked out with Curse earlier, Max watched Jo’s face through the hear view mirror with great anticipation. He was curious to know what she would think of the house and was really hoping that the couple would chose to stay near, it would certainly be nice to have them close. And so he couldn’t help but grin when he noticed that smile in Jo’s face.
Parking the car just outside the house, he shut off the engine and getting out of the car made his way around to the passenger’s side to help his wife out and waited for the happy couple to join then.
Max had talked with the owner earlier and got the keys lend to him so that Jo and Curse could explore the house further that day. Getting the keys from his pocket, he allowed Lexi to take them and toss the keys to Curse and then turned to his wife. “So what about it Jo, think it would be a nice place for you and your husband to rise the triplets?” he said in a serious tone, holding back a laughter.

Letting Max help her from the vehicle, Lexi laid a hand on his arm and whispered.
"Lets let them go in by themselves this first time, shall we? I think that they could use some time just to themselves.. Remember how we were when we were looking at our first house?"
Smiling up at him lovingly, she gave him a wink and then took the keys from his hands and tossed them to Curse.
"Why don't you two go on ahead... Max and I will look around the rest of the property for a bit..." she said before taking her husbands hand and starting to stroll towards the huge pond that ran between the estates.

Grinning madly at his wifes words, Curse got out of the SUV and followed after her. However, as Lexi laid a hand on Max's sleeve and then tossed the keys to the house to him, he gave the witch a grateful smile and then ran after the excited blond hunter who was his wife.
Catching up with her on the front steps, he put the key in the lock and then swung the door open so that she could step inside. Right on her heels, the hunter was amazed to see that the inside well matched the allure the outside had presented. It was also homey enough not to be intimidating and roomy enough to fit a growing family.
Taking her hand, Curse lead her from room to room and muttered little phrases as he went. By the time they reach the back patio glass doors, he was in love with the place but waited on his wife for the final verdict.
"So.... What do you think, love? If its not perfect, we can go look at a few other places....."

JoJo heard Max say something about triplets as she wandered toward the house but it didn't really register. She just waved idly at him as she approached the door. Just as Jo made it to the front steps Curse was there and had the key with him. She grinned up at him. "Yeah, those might help if we want to go inside." Standing close to his side she waited a little impatiently as he unlocked the door and opened it for her. She walked in and her head swiveled around taking in the main rooms off the entry way. It was beautiful inside, a real home it seemed, not just a house.
Feeling Curse's hand grasp her's he pulled her gently along. Taking her through each of the rooms. She smiled as she heard him randomly say something about each room. Mapping out the possibilities. Jo stayed quiet mostly, just smiling as they walked through the house. Her mind wandered as he spoke though, also thinking of what they could do with the place.
With every room they went through Jo was starting to feel more emotional. She heard Curse say something about "the baby's room" and her free hand automatically went to her stomach. She felt a small catch in her throat as they continued on.
They made it back downstairs and to the sliding glass doors of the back patio. She was mesmerized by the site. The vast amount of land that spread out behind them and a sparkling pool out in the backyard. Jo turned when she heard her husband's voice. Her eyes were a little bit misty. "So.... What do you think, love? If its not perfect, we can go look at a few other places....." Looking up into his eyes she smiled. She wasn't sure if she would be able to speak without her voice cracking. Licking her lips she swallowed hard before she tried. "Perfect? I think it's absolutely perfect. I love it." Jo wrapped her arms around his neck and stretched up to kiss him. Blinking her eyes a few times to keep back the tears that were threatening to fall. She couldn't believe how lucky she was. How happy she felt, it was more than she could have ever imagined. "Damn hormones." Jo mumbled quietly as a tear escaped and fell down her cheek.

Sighing in relief, Curse pulled her close and wrapped his arms about her as they stood before the huge sliding glass doors. For a long moment, the couple just stood there as they absorbed the huge step they were about to take and took stock of their bearings. The hunters thoughts ran from one extreme to the next as he realized that he was actually making a major step to a permenant marriage with this woman. On one hand, only a fool WOULDN"T be a bit scared but he figured that they had come way to far to let that interfere now.
When they had first woken up married, he'd known that he wanted to see where it went before just casting it aside as another Vegas marriage. Over the last few months, he'd come to know and love the woman he held. The whole baby thing had shaken him to his core and he'd known then that he wasn't about to let her walk away. The next step naturally seemed to be providing a home and hearth for his growing family and suddenly... It just seemed right.
Pulling back from Jo finally, he gave her a grin and winked.
"So.... Does that mean you don't want to look at anymore houses? I want you to be sure because this is our future here... Besides which... Living this cool to the witch... That is a bit scary. She might teach our kid to hex me or something." he teased.
Slinging an arm about her shoulders again, he opened the glass doors and then stepped out on the patio. In the distance, a glimmering mass of water could be seen signalling the location of the pond and a mass of trees gave them their own park like feel.
"Max and Lexi's place is just beyond there. There is a path around the pond you can take to get there. I'd say its no more than... 3/4 a mileor so? The pond basically divides our two estates but there is a small section of land that borders too. I imagine that you and Lexi can spend lots of hours with the kids on that much territory and manage to keep your sanity at the same time. Our bunch is bound to be a little wild with the 4 of us for parents. God help us."
