“I’m hoping we can find a place with a big back yard.” He smiled at Emma as they drove into the real estate agency’s parking lot. Will opened the door to the real estate office for Emma and was greeted by Julia, the agent he had talked to earlier.
“Hi Will it’s nice to see you again!” She smiled brightly at the two of them. “…And you must be the fian….” Will shook his head and cut her short. He mouthed ‘not yet!’ at her. “…girlfriend I’ve heard so much about! Emma, right?”
Julia shook Emma’s hand, but didn’t give her a second to answer before she started talking again. “I’ve been looking through houses in your price range, Will, and I think I’ve found some lovely houses for you to consider. Now, you said you wanted a newer house, not one that was older or in any way dirty, right? And you wanted a big back yard. At least 3 bedrooms, since you are planning to start a family. And what else?”
Will wanted very much to stop Julia from talking. He hadn’t even talked to Emma about getting married or starting a family yet and Julia was ruining everything. “I’d like something with a decent garage and a large and well equipped kitchen, because I cook often. I wouldn’t complain if it had a swimming pool either.” He smiled and looked at Emma. “If you were going to have your dream house, what would you have to have in it?”
Meeting Julia, Emma felt a pang of jealousy since she was quite pretty. But she relaxed and nodded while she heard that she had heard a lot about her. She didn’t even pay attention to the mistake that Julia made of almost calling her his fiance.
She smiled throughout the description of the house. It sounded perfect. Except… Three bedrooms? Family? She raised her eyebrow and looked at Will. She knew that Will would probably want kids, but already? Unless there was something else going on.
Emma didn’t even think that Will wanted to marry her yet. Of course she day dreamed of it like most girls. Anyway, she thought shortly of what she would want. “A large bathroom with a big shower and bathtub. Plus hardwood floors because they are easier to clean.”

“I was thinking maybe a Great Dane or a Greyhound.” He had though of getting a Bull Mastiff, but they slobber a lot and he wanted to have a dog that Emma would not hate. ”I really like big dogs.” He smiled and rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand.
“Big Dogs?” Emma mentally freaked out for a moment. Images of dirty and grim and grit filled her head. She took a deep breath and smiled. “Big dogs need big houses though. Room to roam.”

Will smiled. He hoped that if things went well, he wouldn’t be living there alone. “You are my girlfriend. I hope that someday… well… I just want you to like it, too.” They got in the car and he drove toward the real estate agent’s office.
“Well, I suppose that I will have to like it if I’m coming over.” Emma smiled. She grabbed his hand as he was driving. “So what kind of puppy were you thinking?”

Will pulled her close. “I missed you, too.” He kissed her lips softly. “I suppose we should go. I really hope you like the houses the agent has for us to look at.”
Emma felt the familiar butterflies in her stomach that she always got when around him. She nodded. As much as she would love to stay in his arms, they probably should get going. “It won’t matter if I do, you are the most important. Since you are the one living in it.”
House Hunting!

Will drove to Emma’s house excitedly. He had used getting a puppy as an excuse to buy a house, but he wanted to find a place that Emma liked. He wanted to ask her to move in with him, but he wanted them to start over in a new place, free from their past relationships.
He skipped up her driveway and rang the doorbell, ready to pull her into a kiss as soon as she opened the door.
Emma sat on the couch petting Puma waiting excited. She was thinking about him wanting a puppy. He could do whatever he wanted, but a puppy? They were cute and so adorable, but they were so dirty. Anyway, she leaped off the couch at the noise at the door. She felt like a teenager being this excited to see him.
She ripped open the door and threw herself into his arms. “I’ve missed you!”

Puma just tripped over her paws.
