This is the place for his family. He did all the paperwork with out telling Beth about it. He wanted it to be a surprise for their first anniversary.
He hired an interior designer to decorate every room. AJ had the room he always asked for. And the twins had their very own rooms for when they get older. Though for now they would be in a nursery together.
He even hired all the staff that would be needed for the house.
He then took his mom and dad through the house and Mary just loved it. She had decided that they would move into one of the guest cottages to help Beth with the kids.
He then took Jack and Sarah through and asked if they wanted one of the guest cottages too. Sarah then could help Beth and Jack and Alex would ride to work together. Also it would help Sarah to feel safer.
Julie found out through Jack and called Alex up. "Why have you invited everyone but Sky and me. Are we chop liver or something? Do I need to call Beth and beg?"
"Juile, I'm sorry I just was not thinking. There is one more guest cottage, you and Sky could have, but please don't say anything to Beth just yet. I still have some details to work out setting everything up and I want her to be surprised." Alex said.
"Ok, when can we move in?" She was excited. She wanted Sky and her to start off in a new place and she knew Sky would want to be close to Beth and James.
"Mom and Dad are moving in this weekend. Sarah and Jack on wednesday night. So when would you like to move in?"
"This weekend will be great. When are you telling Beth?"
"Next Friday is our anniversary and I want to surprise her then with a big party, Mom and Sarah are putting everything together so if you want to help talk to mom."
"Ok, I'll get with Mary on helping. Say can we have our Engagement party there. Jack showed me pitures and it would be perfect. I hate were my mom wants to have it. The Hilton is just so over done."
"We will have to check with Beth once she knows about the place."
"Ok, Talk later. I have to go talk to Sky about all this." She hung up and Alex just shook his head.
He just hoped he was doing the right thing in making this a surprise.
The past few months Beth did not let any of the kids out of her site. Even AJ complained about his mother spending to much time with him.
He had hired a new Nanny that was checked out by the FBI with finger prints and all.
For AJ, he hired a ex military to excourt his son to and from school.
Still his wife was not happy thinking something was going to happen.
He had very little alone time with his wife and he was getting flustered about it.
Everything was set and with the master bedroom having it's own wing he was hoping for much needed time with his wife.
The weekend came and two of the guest cottages were moved into.
Sky set up his electronic items in the office area and Julie set up the second bedroom as her office and work room.
Mary and Alexander set up there cottage and Mary had her Personal Assistant move into the second bedroom suite to help her out.
Wednesday came and Jack and Sarah moved there stuff in. Sarah was so excited about being here near her friends and new family.
Now everyone was waiting for Friday night and the surprise party.
