John and Samantha [walk over]/[come up]/[come over]/[head over]/[go] to the window

[EngLearner]

It started raining an hour ago. John and Samantha [walk over]/[come up]/[come over]/[head over]/[go] to the window now and see that it's still raining.

In the above text (I wrote it), can any one of the options be used, or are some of them unidiomatic?

They're all possible (inasmuch as none of them is completely ungrammatical), though without "now".
I'm wondering, though, why you left out the most obvious choice:

... John and Samantha look out the window and see it's still raining.

Most people don't need to walk/go/come/head anywhere to see out the window. Most windows are visible from the whole room and rain is generally visible through the whole window.

Why did you use the past simple in the first sentence and the (historical?) present in the second one? What is the context, in what situation would anyone say that?

I used the simple past in the first sentence because there are the words "an hour ago." I used the historical present in the second one because that's what's happening now, and that's what I want the reader to focus on. This is what I meant:

An hour has passed since it started raining. John and Samantha walk over to the window and see that it's still raining.

The sentence in post #1 was provided as a context for my earlier thread. I've changed its structure a little bit in the present thread though.

Ah, that makes sense!
