"Thank you, for coming down to Henford on your wedding day," Cassie said. "I know you two have a had a big day but we just couldn't wait to give you our wedding present."
"It's no problem," Jake said politely, "it's actually nice to get away from a little bit."
"You two have done so much of our family over the past couple of years," Cassie continued. "We wanted to do something for you... something to give you a solid foundation and a good place to start your family. So, here you are."
"No!" Beth gasped.
"Huh," said Jake, "I don't get it."
"The house," Miranda laughed. "We're giving you our old house."
"What house? That house?!?" Jake gasped. "That gigantic house?!?"
"All yours," Gwen laughed. "It isn't right for it to stand empty. We raised Miranda here, and we hope you will make it a home for your own family in the future."

"Wow," Jake said, "this is a little nicer than putting another new room on the cottage."
"Yeah," Beth smiled. "It will be a great place to raise our family."
"When we have one," Jake smiled. "I'm looking forward to it."
"It might be sooner than you think," Beth laughed.
