Ya'll are gonna get an insight of what the girls know about Finn's feelings for Amanda and how he's always felt…I can't believe I never thought about this before! -Amanda

"That was close!" Willa exclaimed, sighing heavily as Amanda finished her story about the night before.

Amanda giggled, "what do you mean?" she asked.

"Well let's recap, Willa's probably referring to the fact that your wedding was almost called off," Charlene said sarcastically.

"I'd pretend like I was just testing him but I honestly, I think it was almost over. I knew he'd try and come back but it was a matter of me letting go of all the bad thoughts and letting him in for good" Amanda confessed.

"I'm glad you figured it out, although for my sanity, I would've preferred you figuring yourself out a few years ago" Willa giggled with Charlene following.

Amanda smiled as she stared down at her coffee.

"You ok?" Willa asked. Amanda simply nodded not really paying attention. "You sure? You got quiet suddenly."

"Just thinking" Amanda answered.

"About what?" Charlene chimed in.

"I'm going to be living with Finn after the wedding."

"Yeah that's kinda how it goes sweetheart," Willa teased, sending Charlene into a fit of giggles.

"No you know what I mean" Amanda said when she realized her choice of words wasn't very good, "I just realized I'm going to always be around him."

"I'm missing the point to this" Charlene said.

"So am I" Willa said, as the two girls listened in on what would hopefully be an explanation.

"I think, maybe things will be even better when we're not separated as much, you know?"

"I don't know. It'll go both ways, it did for Philby and I. It was something special after we got married, knowing we were a family in the making" Willa smiled.

"Finn's always known we'd get married someday, hasn't he?" Amanda asked looking at them with a serious face.

The girls exchanged grins as they both nodded.

"You should've seen him before he asked you out at prom. He came over to ask Philby for advice and I happened to be there at the time. He was so nervous but dedicated at the same time. He was pacing so much I swear he was going to wear out Philby's rug" Willa giggled than turned serious, "When Philby had walked out of the room for a minute, he confessed to me that he had fallen in love with you."

"Well obviously he didn't come to me for advice, especially since he thought I still liked him. Wow, how things have changed" Charlene pondered for a second before continuing, "But, I knew how he felt and what he'd wished for you. He was so afraid he wasn't good enough and that he couldn't make you happy. I saw more of the worried side of him before you were together while Willa got the happy in love Finn" she laughed. "It's always been you."

"I wish I had always been as sure as he was, it might've helped our relationship in bad times" Amanda sighed.

"Yes it seems that way doesn't it, but think about this, Finn never gave up. That must mean something," Charlene said.

"What do you mean?" Amanda asked.

"Means you were worth the trouble of him coming back every time times got bad" Willa answered.

Maybeck's apartment

"Dude, that was close" Maybeck sighed when Finn finished his story. Finn chuckled as if he hadn't heard Maybeck. "What's with the laugh?"

"Oh nothing, I just can't wait till we're married" Finn said.

"Make that two of us, seriously, you've waited long enough" Philby said.

"I know; I hope that was the last of the worries."

"Are you kidding?" Philby looked at Finn in shock, "you're going to be a mess at the alter."

"I doubt it" Finn said.

"Trust me dude, you will be. Every guy is nervous on his wedding day" Maybeck said so sure of himself.

"And you know this from experience?" Philby asked, teasing the hopefully soon engaged Maybeck.

"Well no" he replied quietly, "I thought that was common knowledge."

"It is Maybeck, don't let him give you a hard time" Finn nodded toward Philby grinning.

"So why aren't you going to be nervous fancy pants?" Philby asked, turning his attention to the groom-to-be.

"Because I'm excited to finally be married to Amanda" Finn said.

"That doesn't mean squat" Maybeck pointed out, "But I can guarantee that Amanda will be more nervous than you."

"Why's that?" Finn asked. Maybeck glanced at Philby, who nodded as if in approval. "What was that for?"

"Sit down Finn" Maybeck whispered as the guys all took a seat. "Should I start? Or you?" he asked Philby.

"You go ahead," Philby answered, hanging his head, but listening to Maybeck's explanation.

"You guys are freaking me out, what do you know?" Finn asked desperately.

"Amanda isn't the kind of person who is normally dedicated to a relationship, believing everyone in her life is going to fail her at one point or another. I mean, can you blame her with her past?" Maybeck said. Finn, still somewhat confused, nodded as Maybeck looked at Philby.

"Amanda confided in me a few years back saying she never felt ready to commit to a relationship with you, and never expected you to keep coming back to her. She was always waiting for you to break it off," Philby added.

"Really?" Finn said, now realizing the point of this conversation.

"Yeah, she figured she'd just wait for you to end it because she was so used to disappointment. It wasn't until Wanda came clean and took her and Jess in when she started trusting people a little more" Maybeck said.

"Makes sense I guess" Finn said quietly.

"She still dealt with some past experiences though. Amanda often came to me just to make sure your feelings were still strong for her, not that she doubted you, but she wanted to be sure that you were serious about your relationship" Philby said, as quietly as Finn had. "That's when I realized, she truly loved you, and I constantly reassured her that you felt the same. That you always had."

"She came to you that much?" Finn asked, slightly saddened that he didn't show her his feelings clearer.

"She came to me too, and don't get depressed that she came to us and not you. She didn't want you to have to bother with anything else because she didn't believe you should worry about her" Maybeck said.

"So all this time, she was really worried about me" Finn whispered, feeling incredibly stupid, especially about their fight the previous night.

"She always has been" Philby said. "And I know what you're thinking, you didn't do anything wrong in your relationship with Amanda, she just had some past demons to push out of her life before fully committing herself to you."

"I just wish I would've shown her my feelings a little more" Finn said.

"I don't think you two could've been any closer…" Maybeck pointed out.

"It's true" Philby chuckled.

"I guess you're right, but I feel like theres something more I could've done to help her along" Finn said, still sad by the truth behind the last six years and how it had affected his bride-to-be.

"But this way she figured it out on her own, which is probably for the better. On the bright side of things, think about it this way, she never gave up on you. Just keep thinking, she never ended it with you even though there were times she probably easily could've" Philby said.

"Like last night" Finn said raising his eyebrows.

"Last night was simply Amanda getting cold feet," Maybeck laughed. "Why don't you go see her," he suggested.

"Yeah, I think I will" as Finn got up to leave, "Thanks guys, that's why you're my best mans."

"Aw well wasn't that sweet" Maybeck chuckled as Finn left. Philby just stared at Maybeck and rolled his eyes.
