My heart swelled with pride.
“Hey, Ma. I’ve got news.”
She gasped. “You met a girl?”
I pressed my lips together and felt my face heat as I waited for his response. Would he tell her?
“I did, but you can’t say anything to anyone.”
She covered the phone and yelled, “Mike! Finn met a girl! Oh, Finn, tell me all about her! Is she pretty? What does she do for a living? Does she have good birthing hips?”
My mouth fell open, and Finn laughed. “She’s sitting next to me in my car, Ma. I’ll fill you in later on, but I need to let you and Dad know something.”
“Oh Lord. Let me sit down.” She covered the phone but we could still hear her. “He’s gone off and done it. He got a girl pregnant. Get me the scotch out of the cabinet, Mike.”
I was positive a look of horror moved across my face, but Finn acted like it was no big deal his mother thought he had gotten a girl pregnant. “No, Ma, I didn’t get anyone pregnant. Harmony’s in labor. They’re on the way to the hospital now.”
Screams and muffled noises came across the car speakers. I could hear a man in the background crying out in joy.
“Finn, I’ve got to go, sweetheart! Meet you at the hospital.”
“Tell Dad to drive safe.”
“Will do!”
The line went dead and Finn took my hand in his again. Butterflies flittered about in my stomach, causing me to place my other hand over it.
“I’m sorry about that.”
I shrugged. “So I take it your family is used to you dating a lot of women?”
He didn’t respond, and that made me even more nervous. Maybe he was regretting bringing me—like I was slowly regretting coming.
His. Whole. Family.

What just happened?
Was I ready for this? Was Finn ready for this? We were moving too fast.
Panic started to settle in my chest as I glanced out the window.
My phone beeped, and I pulled it out to see it was Russell.
Russell: Will you be in the office tomorrow?
I quickly replied back.
Me: Yes. I got a bit of information I want to go over with you.
Russell: Can you meet for a late dinner? I stumbled across something today as well.
Chewing on my lip, I turned to Finn. I couldn’t help but smile. He looked beyond thrilled, and a part of me really wanted to be with him for this.
Me: Sorry, I can’t tonight, but I’ll see you first thing in the morning.
