so i got a whole bunch of inspiration so yeah really quick update!

"Oh it's so beautiful here" Maria sighed as they walked hand in hand on the soft grass. Georg looked over at his wife and could only smile. "You're beautiful" He said gazing lovingly in her eyes. He chuckled when he saw his wife's cheeks turn a soft rose color.

they were getting closer to civilization when they saw beautiful farm houses down a small road. they walked further until they reached a small paddock with a beautiful horse. behind the paddock was this lovely yellow farm house with a white wrap around porch. although it needed some work it was still a beautiful house. Maria walked over to the horse and pat him over the nose. Remembering she had one left over apple she gave it to the horse. "I used to ride, you know" She said looking over at Georg. "Me to..." Georg said soft remembering the times he used the ride with Agathe. After she died he sold all of the horses they owned.

"That's a coincidence!" Maria laughed, but she stopped as soon as she saw the emotion on her husband's face. "Oh i'm sorry i..."

"It's alright darling" he gave her a loving smile as he walked over to the horse. they both turned around when they heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Cute isn't she?" The woman said as she walked up to them pushing a heavy looking wheelbarrow. She had red hair and was probably in her early 40s

"Oh we're sorry we came up on your property we-" Maria was cut off by the woman

"Oh it's not mine, i live two houses down the road, " She explained "I only take care of the horse, this house has been empty for almost two years, nobody lived here since the previous couple died" She held out her hand to introduce herself "I'm Kimberley, but they call me Kim," After an introduction Kim continued about the house. "they want to make more land on this place because nobody wants to buy it, nobody wants to take up the burden to fix this place i guess..." She sighed "If somebody doesn't take it by the end of the month they are gonna break it down and sell the land... the bad thing is that the house is probably worth nothing so they can take all the profit" She said sighing even deeper.

"Oh no, Maria we couldn't" Georg said when he saw Maria's knowing look. "Oh Darling, of course we can!" She said with excitement "Joseph can help us and we can ask Donna and Steve, and lets not forget the children, i know they would be eager to help out"

"Maria you're 6 months pregnant, do you really think you're capable of fixing a house?" Georg loved his wife's enthusiasm but he wasn't sure if this was such a good idea. "Darling you act like i'm an invalid" She said slightly annoyed "I'm surely capable of using a paint brush, or do you think i will paint myself into an early labor?" she now cursed some word in German as she threw her hand in the air and walked away.

"I'm sorry, I, we came her from Austria, and we don't have that much money and my wife can sometimes be a bit... stubborn" He explained giving Kim an apologetic look "We now live in a two bedroom apartment in New York with seven children"

"seven? my i already have my hands full of three!" she said her eyes widening in shock "Oh my you sure could use a bigger house, let me make some calls for you and let me see what i can do" She said giving Georg a bright smile "You can reach me on this number" She handed him the small piece of paper "And now go after your wife before she walks all the way to California!"

"Thank you, thousand times thank you!" He waved as he ran after Maria.

"Maria, Darling I didn't mean it that way, I'm just concerned" He said grabbing her hand an putting her to a stop.

"Just leave it! it was a stupid idea anyway!" She said trying to free herself from his grasp. she walked further away and sat herself down on a small rock. Georg walked up and took a seat next to her. they just looked out on the country side in silence. "You know," Georg said breaking the silence "Kim is going to make some calls, so if everything goes well we can get the house" Maria snaked her arms around Georg's neck as she kissed him passionately. "I take it you're happy then?" He said kissing her nose "Well if we can buy it of course" He said smiling

After a comfortable silence in each other's arms Maria spoke up "what will the children say? They will have to switch schools, I mean we can't let them go by bus for an hour every day" She looked up at her husband hoping he would give an answer "I mean, what if they don't want to move, and i mean Liesl will be attending college next in less than a year"

"Darling calm down, They will adjust soon enough, and i think they will love it here" He have her a soft kiss on her temple. "Well lets just hope that Kim has some good news for us" He stood up and extended his hand for her to take. they walked back to their car in silence enjoying the nature as much as they could before going back to the busy New York. Maria really hoped that Kim would call with some good news. maybe god did have their back a little bit. she smiled to herself as she took a deep breath looking around her once more before walking up the little road again.

Dinner that evening was full of chatter about everyone's wonderful events of that day. how were they ever going to explain this to the children? Maria and Georg decided to wait until they had a call from Kim to avoid any more complications. Smiling at her children stories she couldn't help but wonder what their life would look like in a few years. would she have any more children of her own? would some of their children bring home boyfriends and girls friends, or even fiances? Oh how Georg hated it when he saw his baby Liesl talking to that delivery boy again. Maria hat to smile at her memory.

Georg looked out the window of his study when he saw Liesl sitting on the bench near the gazebo talking with what was his name? oh yes Rolfe... Maria slowly walked into the room. "Georg, Liesl is doing fine, Just leave her be, And Rolfe is a nice boy" She took a seat on top of his desk as she continued talking. "And Liesl really likes him you know"

"Oh and how would you know that Fraulein, you didn't even notice your own love for me" He teased as he walked up to her giving a cheeky grin. "Oh but that was entirely different," She said as he mover closer now only a few inches away from her face. "You see, deep in my heart i knew i was in love with you, i only just could't let myself permit it, and on top of that you were engaged to a certain baroness..." She gave him a teasing grin

"I'm sorry to have left you in such a torture, let me release you from it fraulein" He said as he slowly kissed her. this teasing was really new for Maria in their relationship and in ignited a fire inside her she never thought she could ever feel. During their engagement Maria had learned many new feelings she didn't even know existed.

As Georg deepened the kiss he rested his hands on Maria's legs and slowly started moving them up and down. causing her dress to move above her knees. He stopped when he felt Maria stiffen under his touch. "I... I'm sorry i... I think we'd better..." He took a step back awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

"no it's eh... Ok" she said still a bit aback by these new feelings. When she regained posture she spoke, "see, you know when to stop and so does Rolfe"

"oh great! so they kissed already!" Georg said slightly annoyed "Georg they're just experimenting with their feelings and your first love is all about experimenting with new feelings and actions towards each other" Maria said to him giving a sweet smile trying to calm him a bit. And it worked as he saw a teasing smile form on her fiance's lips.

"said the women who wanted to become a nun" he chuckled. Maria rolled her eyes as she got of the desk and walked up to her husband, "well you," she said pointing her finger to his chest "are my first love, and i never heard you complain when we kissed" she said giving him a cheeky smile. "But if you don't want us lady's kissing their first loves. She now moved her face to be only inches away from his, her lips almost brushing with his. "I'd better go right?" She said as she quickly turned around, trying to walk out of his study without bursting out in laughter. But the attempt failed as felt her fiancé grab her wrist pulling her to stand back in front of her.

when he pulled her face close to kiss her, Maria put her finger to his lips to silence him, "uh, don't you need to say something first?"she looked up at him giving him a pleading look. "I'm waiting" she said when he still hadn't answered.

"ok eh..." He slightly hesitated but continued to speak "i'm sorry, you're right..." When he moved to capture her lips again Maria spoke up "and?"

"I shouldn't have spied on my daughter, is that all?" He asked rolling his eyes in annoyance. Without answering she put her hands on his shoulders as she gave him a soft kiss. He took that as a yes so he put his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. Breaking the kiss to catch their breaths Georg said with a teasing smile, "so? I really am your first love?" He moved to capture her soft rosy lips again.

Maria was pulled out of her thought by their phone ringing...
