“Are we going to get murdered?”
“Probably not.”
“Ah, you know just what to say.”
I kiss her gently. “Come on, love, I have one more surprise for you.”
“What is it?”
“Asurprise.” I drag her along behind me, smiling like the madman I am.
Chapter47

Finn leads me into the house, up the stairs, and to the guest suite. “What’s so urgent you need to yank my wrist out of the socket?” I say as I struggle to keep up with his long strides.
“While you were away, I had some improvements made.” He gestures toward the suite. “Go ahead. Take a look.”
I hesitate. “I’m not about to find some kink sexy dungeon, am I?”
“Would that be so bad?”
“Actually, no,” I admit.
“Sorry to disappoint then, but I have other space for that.”
“Don’t tease me.”
“Stop talking and go look in the room.”
I gently slap his shoulder before stepping past him and into the suite. I stand on the threshold, staring inside, my mouth falling open.
It’s been gutted. The furniture’s all gone, the floors have been refinished, and the decorations are missing. The fireplace is currently in the process of being converted to—something, I can’t even tell, but something with lots of soft foam.
And sitting at the far side is a crib.
I drift toward it, my hands trembling.
“I didn’t do too much,” he says, watching me from the door as I stand beside the crib. It’s white, plain, with a mattress at the bottom and a light blue sheet. “I know you wanted to decorate yourself, but I got the process started.”
“Finn,” I say, trying not to cry. “You did this?”
“Myself, actually. Didn’t even hire someone.” He smirks at the look on my face. “What?”
“I’m in disbelief, is all.”
“Shane helped a little,” he admits. “The fireplace was his doing.”
“Whatishappening there?”
“Babyproofing.”
“Ah, makes sense.” I chew my lip before a giddy laugh bursts from my chest. “You didn’t have to do this.”
“But I did.” He steps into the room. “This is going to be our nursery. Our child is going to grow up in this room. And maybe one day… siblings. In all the other rooms.”
“How many bedrooms are there again?” I ask in a hushed voice.
