“We can definitely do that,” Dean said. “I’m not exactly the most handy person but I’ll do my best.”
“You said you had something to show us?” Ezra said. His impatience was showing. The alpha was ready to take it all in and move on with plans.
“I was thinking five bedrooms for the pack. It sounds like a lot but I’ll make all of ours smaller. I have a feeling Ellie won’t let us get far from her very often. Then there will be several bedrooms dedicated to the future kids if we decide we want them or we can use them for other reasons. Like offices or a library.”
“Going to win her over with ‘Beauty and the Beast’ aren’t we?” Atlas said. “If we get Walter in on it, I bet he can help us fill those shelves. I definitely vote for the library.”
“I’m with Ezra. What’s our timeline from now until move-in ready?” Dean asked.
“You’ll never be done working on a house,” Ezra joked. “Something always breaks or needs fixed or updated.”
“Well, I mean not have to do main renovations,” Dean clarified, not the least put off by Ezra’s words. It was nice that there wasn’t a lot of hostility or animosity between us. Ezra had always been gruff and the twins took it in stride. Sometimes, it got to me, but I hid it well and I think it was the same for him. Two alphas in a pack would never be seamless but there wasn’t the jealousy that would really tear us apart.
“Depends on money and what we take on ourselves. It could be six months up to a year before it’s move-in ready. And that’s buying and assembling furniture, painting rooms, putting up walls, and passing inspections,” I explained.
“That’s a long time to be apart,” Atlas said with a sigh.
“I think our omega is waiting for us to handle it,” Dean said. “We could move into Collin’s current house and make it work until this is ready. Then it won’t be quite so bad.”
“I’d probably still stay at my apartment on nights that I work late but I’d be willing to spend my off days there,” Ezra relented.
“My lease is up this month,” Atlas said. “I have the option of not signing. I could always put my extra stuff in storage and any rent I would have paid can go into this. I also have savings.”
“This is crazy,” Dean said with a laugh. “I wasn’t even talking to my brother a month ago and look at us now. And we’ve snagged an amazing omega and our alpha got us a house. Life is nuts.”
“There’s still a way to go but at least this is the light at the end of the tunnel,” I said, gesturing around at the home. The fact they all approved had me breathing easier.
At that point, the guys all wanted to get a closer look at the house around us. Ezra was the first to return to me, clapping me on the shoulder and sitting on the edge of the table.
“You’ve done good work here. I think with all of us putting in the effort and extra funds, it won’t take as long as you’re thinking,” he said.
“We’ve definitely got the potential,” I agreed. “Depends on how determined we are. There’s a few walls to knock down and new ones to build, but the bones are here.”
“The twins have enough energy,” Ezra joked.
“We heard that,” Atlas yelled from the other room making both of us chuckle.
They came back in a moment later and Dean was almost in disbelief.
“This is amazing,” he breathed out. “It has character, too. She’s going to love it.”
“It does,” I agreed. “That’s why I couldn’t pass it up.”
“I’m sorry,” Atlas cut in. “We don’t mean to run but we have a doctor’s appointment with Dad. It’s the lung specialist.”
“Go, go. That was all I wanted to show you. We’ll talk later,” I reassured them. “Tell Grant we said hello.”
“Will do,” Atlas said as they hurried out of the door.
“Do you still have painting to do?” Ezra asked. “I’m off if you want two extra hands.”
“Actually,” I countered. “I wanted to show you something. I have an inkling about something and want a second opinion.”
He didn’t hesitate to follow me through the house. I led him to the master bedroom. It was easily my favorite room in the house with two bay windows and enough space for our entire pack.
Ezra let out a low whistle. “Man, this room is huge. We are going to have to get one of those big-ass beds they make for packs.”
“Oh, definitely,” I agreed.
