A week later, Allie got to come home. John had insisted that she stay with him but she told him she wanted to stay in her place with Ellie and Finn. They pulled up to the apartment building and headed in.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with me? I mean, Mike and Ellie can stay at your place with Finn and you can stay with me." He said as he helped her out of the car.

"Or you could stay here with me." Allie said wincing a little as she walked up the steps.

"There's an idea but it would be a little crowded wouldn't it?"

"Well, I guess it might be." She replied. "I guess we could talk to Mike and Ellie and we could all come up with an idea."

Mike pulled up to the house just a few miles outside of town and looked over at Ellie.

"This is your place?"

"Yep. So do you want to come in and see it? It's pretty nice."

She nodded and they got out of the car. She got Finn from the backseat and they headed into the house.

"Wow, this is beautiful." She said when they walked in.

"Thanks. I had it decorated because I'm no good at decorating." He laughed. "So, I guess you're wondering why I wanted you to see the house."

"I was a little bit."

"Well, I want you and Finn to move in with me."

"Wow! I wasn't expecting that. I want to but Allie is going to need me. She just got out of the hospital after getting shot. She needs me to take care of her."

Mike smiled. "I think my brother has that covered." He said. "We can put a swing in the back for Finn and maybe one of these days a nursery. We could turn the garage into the office of your catering business. And you'd share a room with me if you wanted."

She looked at him and smiled. "Yes, I will move in with you."

"Great. Then we will talk to Allie and John and tell them what we have decided." He smiled.

"You're sure you're okay with this?" Ellie nodded.

"Yeah. We're okay with this."

"Good. Now all we have to do is tell John and Allie." Mike smiled. "And I think John wants Allie to live with him. He has really fallen for her."

"Good. She needs a good guy in her life." Mike turned to her.

"You deserve that too."

She smiled and leaned in and kissed him. "I have found one. You."

He smiled. "I'm going to make you happy. I promise." He took Finn from her. "And I am going to spoil you rotten."

She smiled as she watched him with Finn. It had been a long time since someone wanted to take care of her. Not since Phil. She sighed at the thought. He was gone and now she was making a new life with Mike and Finn. Drew was out of her life permanently. And she could focus on Mike and Finn. She hoped Allie found the same thing.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay at my house?" John asked as he helped Allie lay down.

"You stay here with me." She smiled. "I'm not sure where Ellie and Finn are."

John smiled a little. "Oh, Mike took them to see his house."

"Really?" Allie smiled.

"Yep. I think he wants her and Finn to live with him. So, you can move in with me. I have plenty of room."

"Are you asking me?"

He looked at her and leaned down and kissed her. "Yes, I'm asking you to move in with me. So, will you?"

She smiled and nodded. "Yes, I will move in with you."

He smiled and leaned in and kissed her. "I'm going to order is some lunch? You want anything?"

"Yes. I want some Sesame chicken, crab Rangoon, and an egg roll with duck sauce and a piece of chocolate cheesecake."

"Is my baby hungry?" John asked.

"I'm starving."

"Alright. I will go get the food." He said standing up.

"Oh can you get me some nachos? I'm so craving them."

"Do you want nachos or sesame chicken?"

"I want them both plus the other things I named. I'm starving."

"Alright. I'm off." He kissed her and headed out to get the food. He walked outside at the same time that Mike, Ellie and Finn pulled up. "Hey, guys."

"Hey, where you headed?" Mike asked him.

"Allie wants Sesame Chicken, Crab Rangoon, egg roll, nachos and chocolate cheesecake." John laughed. "So I'm off to get it."

"I'll come with you and let the girls catch up." Mike said to him. John nodded and he and Mike got into John's car and headed out.

Ellie smiled as she and Finn rode the elevator to Allie's floor. She couldn't wait to tell Allie everything. She let herself in and walked to Allie's bedroom with Finn in her arms. She smiled at her sister and put Finn down on the floor. "You doing okay?"

"I'm still in pain but I'm doing alright. John has been watching me like a hawk." Allie said. "What's got you smiling?"

"Mike ask me and Finn to move in with him. He wants us to build a life together."

"That's wonderful. Is that what you want?" Allie asked.

"I do. I really like him and I haven't felt like this about someone since Phil."

"That's great. I'm happy for you. You deserve some happiness after everything."

"So do you."

Allie smiled. "I think we have that." She smiled at Finn. "God, where is my food? I'm starving here."

"John and Mike went to it." She laughed. "You have to have patience. You did want Chinese and Mexican and cheesecake." Ellie looked at her sister. "Why do you want so much?"

"Because I'm hungry."

"You're not pregnant are you?"

"I think it's the steroids to help the medicine work faster."

"Are you sure? I mean that's a lot of food. Last time I wanted that much, I was pregnant with Finn."

"I'm not pregnant. I would know and the doctors would know since they did all those tests."

"I have a feeling it won't be long." Ellie smiled. "I need you to do me a favor. Not as my sister. As my lawyer. I need you to draw up adoption papers for Finn."

"Adoption papers?" Allie asked.

"Yes. I want Mike to adopt Finn."

"That's a little soon isn't?" Allie asked. "I mean I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I just really want you to think about it. Because once Mike is Finn's legal father, he will forever be in your life. Drew is dead so no one can contest the adoption." Allie looked at her sister. "If you're one hundred percent sure that this is what you want and you have thought about everything, then I will draw up the adoption papers. Today in fact. I have the forms on my laptop. So, do you want me to draw them up?"

"Yeah I do. I can't explain it Al, but I love him. And I know he will never hurt me or Finn. You should see them together. He already treats Finn like his son. He talked about a nursery one day. I know I haven't known him that long. But I honestly believe he loves us Allie. Even though he hasn't said it outright yet."

"Alright. Can you get me my laptop?" Ellie nodded and went to get it. She brought it back and watched as Allie did the papers on the computer and then printed them out. "Okay, you have to sign them and Mike to. Then I will file them with the court and a hearing will set." Ellie nodded.

John looked over at Mike as they sat in the car. He smiled at the way his little brother was smiling. "Something on your mind?" John asked. Mike looked over at him.

"They've agreed to move in with me." Mike said. "I love her. I know it's fast and she's got Finn but...I see a future with her. And I love that little boy."

"You going to ask her to marry you?"

"I'm thinking about it. I feel this is right with her. I want to have a life with her and Finn. It's what I want."

"Then I'm happy for you. Now let's get this food upstairs." John smiled and they headed up. John was happy that his brother had found someone he wanted to make a life with.
