He sat down at his grandfather's old mahogany desk. He looked at his watch before picking up the phone. He did the math once more in his head and then started to dial the number. He hated making international phone calls. He took a deep breath before giving the number to the operator. It took four rings for someone to pick up. "Hey love."

Rory perked up instantly as soon as she heard his voice. It had been two weeks since the last time anyone had talked to Finn. "Where the hell are you darling? Nobody has heard from you in ages!"

Finn smiled a bit. He had missed his good friends. It was hard not seeing them everyday. Life in Australia wasn't as fun as it used to be. Especially since this time was complicated. "I'm taking a bit of a holiday you know. Still I don't mean to be rude love but I actually called just to chat at Logan for a bit."

"No problem I just have to peel him away from that damn X-Box of his." Rory joked as she made her way downstairs to the living room where Logan and Colin were sitting on the couch playing Halo. Sometimes her twenty three year old husband reminded her more of a thirteen year old. "Finn just promise you'll be home before the month is up."

"I should be back within the next week love. I need to get back to work." Finn was shocked that he missed work. It was weird not getting up and putting on his tie and punching numbers and using his college degree. "Miss you love."

"I miss you more." She said before handing the phone off to Logan. It was weird not having Finn sitting in her living room complaining about the lack of Wild Turkey.

Logan placed his controller on the table before actually speaking into the phone. "You've been down under for too long."

Finn laughed. "You're telling me mate between my grandmother and Camille I'm dying here. They just keep nagging me and nagging me. Still I didn't call to complain I just I needed to tell you something."

Logan didn't like how quickly the laughter had faded in Finn's voice. Finn normally struggled to be serious. He just wasn't the kind of guy to become serious on a dime. "Go ahead Finn. I'm all ears."

"My grandmother had me come out here because she wanted me to meet somebody." Finn struggled to finish the sentence. He was still getting used to the idea of this new person himself.

"Who?"

Finn gulped and then sighed. "She wanted me to meet my son."

Logan froze. "What? I don't think I heard you right."

Finn mustered a slight chuckle. "I think you did. She wanted me to meet my son James Finnegan Adler. Last summer when I came home to visit I started a fling with my grandmother's caretaker. She had the most amazing red hair. She left James with my grandmother last week. She told my grandmother she didn't want to be a mother."

Logan wasn't sure what to say. He couldn't imagine Finn as a father. "Are you sure that he is yours?"

"He's the spitting image of me. He's the reason I haven't gotten home yet. I had to contact the American embassy in order to get him a passport. Who would have thought you needed so much identification for a child. Anyway Camille, James and I should be home Thursday. I need you to get someone to furnish that extra bedroom for me. I need my house readied for a baby. I want a Red Sox theme for his room. That's all I care about. Could you set that up for me?" Finn asked. He had been worrying about bringing James home for a while now. His apartment wasn't exactly safe for a baby. He shared the three room penthouse with his assistant Camille, who he usually called his right hand. She had been the one who suggested that he ask his good friends for help. He felt a lot like Ted Danson in "Three Men and a Baby".

"Yeah of course I can do that for you. I'll have Rory and Stephanie look into it."

Finn let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much for that mate. I was really nervous about bringing James home to my love shack. Okay well I'll let you get back to Halo. Tell Colin I said hi. Give all of my girls a kiss for me. I'll see you on Thursday mate."

Logan said goodbye and then hung up the phone. He placed it on the coffee table and then sat there speechless. He looked at Colin who was staring at him. He licked his lips before speaking. "Finn just told me that he's a father."

"What?"

Logan sort of chuckled. "Yeah he had this fling last summer with some girl and she left the baby with Stella last week because she didn't want to be a mother. Finn, the baby, and Camille are coming home on Thursday,

Colin had the exact same reaction as Logan. "So you're telling me that Finn, our Finn, our exotic Finn, is now someone's father?"

"Uh huh and he seems to be just as surprised and caught off guard as we are. Still he's being responsible. He called me to see if I could get someone to ready his penthouse before they get home. You know baby proof and decorate the room."

Rory walked into the room carrying baby Lo. She was fussing with her daughter's chestnut hair. She kissed Logan on the forehead before sitting down. "What'd Finn want?"

Colin couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't wait to see the look on Rory's face when she heard the news.

Logan cleared his throat. This time it wasn't as hard to share the news. "Uh Finn called to ask me to hire someone to baby proof his penthouse and to decorate the guest bedroom for a baby boy."

Rory's face went blank you could tell she was confused. She started to ask why in the world he would want those things done to his apartment and then it hit her. Her mouth formed a perfect O and she sat there staring at her husband as if he had just grown a second head. It took her a minute to regain her ability to speak. "When? How? Where?"

"Well Ace seeing as you are a mother I would think you know how he had became a father. Uh last summer I guess he met some girl Stella's caretaker he said and he fell for her and they spent a lot of time shacking up. His son has dual citizenship at least for now."

"Oh my gosh that must have been why he took so long coming home last summer. Remember Colin he said he would only holiday there for two weeks at the most but he left the second school got out and didn't return till the day we were about to go back." Rory had never thought that Finn would have stayed away for so long because of a girl. He just had never been the type.

Colin nodded. "I remember we were moving some stuff into your dorm room when he called from the airport. He looked so different but all of us were so caught up in going back to school that nobody noticed. He was faking happiness. Then we took him out that night for a coming home celebration and he was fine when he met his redhead for the evening." Colin wondered if he should have known. Should he have been able to put two and two together? Then something else hit him. He was the last man in the group to become a father. "Shit even Finn had a kid before me. How the hell is this possible?"

Logan laughed. "You shouldn't be shocked that Finn had a kid before you. You should be shocked that Finn knows said child."

"What's his name?" Rory asked quietly. She was still wondering if when Finn came home last summer he was heartbroken. She had a feeling he was. She'd never seen him so sober after a trip to Australia.

"James Finnegan Adler. She named his James Finnegan in honor of Finn's grandfather." Logan knew that probably meant a lot to Finn because he and his grandfather were always so close.

Colin pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and sighed. "I have to call Stephanie. She'll hate me if I don't." Then he laughed. "She hates me anyway for not being the one to pop out what she refers to as a seven pound bowling ball."

Rory and Logan watched him leave the room. Logan then patted the spot on the couch where Colin had been sitting. Rory moved over to where he was and then the leaned into him. She looked down at her little girl and smiled. Rory had never dreamed she could be this lucky. She kissed her little girl on the forehead. In so many she was all Rory and in others you could see Logan shining through. She looked at her husband and then kissed him softly on the lips. She found herself loving him more and more each day. He was always the one to handle Lo's morning feedings. Even if he knew his day was going to be especially hard and he was going to need some extra sleep he would still wake up and feed her. Rory always found them playing together in the morning. It was the sweetest thing in the world. Sometimes she'd even find him singing to her. His favorite song for Lo was "My Girl". Logan couldn't carry a tune but that didn't matter to Lo. She just loved the attention. "Do you think Finn is scared shitless right now?"

Logan let out a small laugh. "Probably more than either one of us could imagine. You know I don't think we give him enough credit though. I mean he goes to work everyday. Sometimes he complains about it but he still goes. He does his job. He hasn't hit on any co-workers which would bring up sexual harassment suits. For the most part he works, he drinks, he spends time with us, and then he goes home to Camille who makes sure he's up to do it all over again the next day. I think she is going to be really good at helping him be really good at being a father. Camille is the reason Finn hasn't run away from this responsibility."

Rory smiled. "I always thought that maybe Camille and Finn would get together. Even though she's not a red head and she's not leggy. She's shorter and chubby but they do so well together."

"They'll get together it's just a matter of time. Finn already loves her. That is why he listens to her."

Rory snickered. "Is that why you listen to me?"

Logan looked down at his wife and smirked. "Nope I just listen to you because you do all of the bills." He kissed her on the forehead. "No really I listen to you because I love you and because you're always right."

She smiled. "I love you too and I'm loving this moment but I have to finish a paper. Remember I'm the only one who hasn't graduated because I took time off to have our child."

Logan gently took Lo out of Rory's arms. He held his perfect daughter close to chest. He breathed in her fresh scent before talking. "I thank you everyday for that." He paused and looked down at her because she was playing with his finger. "You've given me the best gift ever. There is no other gift that could be better than her."

"Not even a boy?"

Logan shook his head. "A boy would be just as good but not better."

Rory smiled. She kissed him for nearly a minute before pulling away. Then she softly kissed her daughter's forehead. "My paper calls. Remy should be back from her Creative Writing class in an hour."

"We love you…" Logan called after her. Then he looked down at Lo. "We are the two luckiest people in the world because we have her. Did you know that Lo?" He smiled. "Of course you did."

Okay so that was the update for now. I know it took a long time. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. Review please…I love them. Thanks for reading. I think I'll update soon because I really like the direction this is going in and because I can think of where to take it.
