"I can call Cory and see if he is not busy," Aidan said thinking of a climbing friend he went climbing with when Austin was was gone. He pulled his phone out as he texted Cory. A few moments later, it was planned that he would come over. "You know, I do have a few things in storage we can use. Why don't I ask Austin if I can borrow his truck while he takes my car tomorrow."

“Ok. But remember, don’t tell him anything. It’s a surprise” Chloe said, with a smile. “Ok. It’s settled. Thanks Aidan” Chloe said as she got up and headed downstairs. “Babe, can we borrow your truck tomorrow?” Chloe asked.

"My truck? Why?" Austin asked as he looked at Chloe.
"Uh, Chloe, Molly and I are going to be taking a trail ride tomorrow up to Medicine Hill. I have not been on a trail ride in a while," Aidan said as he came up with the coverup quickly in his mind.
"Oh, sure. I guess I will just take your car then, Aiden," Austin announced.

Chloe stood there for a second as she thought of a reason, until Aidan stepped in. When Austin turned around Chloe smiled at Aidan. “Thank you” she whispered. The next morning, right after Austin left, Chloe, Molly, and Aidan got into the truck. Chloe had left her phone on the counter so Austin couldn’t track her location.

Getting into the driver's seat, Aidan started the truck and headed to the highway. He had a few things in storage that he needed to pick up for the home gym. And Cory would meet them there.

“Oh these will work great!” Chloe said as she put some of the stuff into the bed of the truck. Aidan’s friend got into the back seat of the truck and they drove back. “Mols are you ok sitting with Lia back there?” Chloe asked, as she was driving the truck back.

"So, once we get back, we need to bring the mattresses back to storage. We cab store them in my storage unit. I don't mind. We can wait for the contractor to come by to help us out," Aidan announced as he looked at his flight radar and found Austin's flight. "He is just lining up on the runway right now. What time does the contractor get to the house?"

“A little after 12:30” Chloe said as she pulled into the driveway. “I’ve asked the contractor to stay until about 3 so then Austin doesn’t suspect anything when he gets back” Chloe said as she stopped the car and opened the garage door. “We can bring the stuff in through the garage” she said as she got Lia out of her car seat. “Let me just get Lia in the house first”

Getting out of the truck, Aidan and Cory head downstairs where they both began to move furniture to other rooms if possible. It was about 11:30 when Cory and Aidan had all the furniture moved. All they had to do was just get the wait for the contractor to stop by.

After the contractor left he had given them the ok to start getting things set up. “Ok. We gotta hurry. We only have 3 and a half hours before Austin gets home” Chloe said. The room was just the right size for a home gym, and Chloe knew Austin would love it.

Aidan checked his radar and found Austin's flight. "He should be taking off in about 15 minutes. He is still at the gate," Aidan announced as he set his phone down. It took about an hour to bring in all the things from the truck and then another half an hour to get things set up and in their proper positions. Luckily Aidan did the same type of training as Austin. So they could work out together if they wanted to.

“Ok. Let’s move this over here” Chloe said. When everything was finally finished, Chloe checked her phone. “shoot. He just texted me. He landed.” Chloe said. “Ok. He’s an hour out, everyone needs to get upstairs now!” Chloe said, as she closed the door to the home gym and went upstairs with everyone. Chloe put Lia in her high chair and got her a snack so it didn’t look like they’d been doing anything when Austin got home.

Austin had gotten home later than expected as there was a car accident on the drive home that caused a pretty good back up. But when he got home, he set Aidan's keys on the hook. "Babe! I'm home!" Austin called from the doorway as he placed his suitcase in the closet.

Chloe had gotten everything ready for the big surprise. Mollys as putting Lia to bed when Austin got home. “Hey” Chloe said. “I have a surprise for you” she said, with a smile.

"A surprise? For me?" Austin asked as he walked into the kitchen. He pulled Chloe up and kissed her for a long moment, wrapping her legs around his waist. "Is it you naked in our bed?" Austin asked as he looked at Chloe. He had a feeling that was not it. But worth a try to ask her.
