Chapter 2

For the record, I do not own Megan Meade's guide to the McGowan Boys. I just love the book and hope to share some of my ideas.

2 years later Thanksgiving

Megan and Finn pulled up in front of the McGowan house just in time for dinner.

"Ready?" Finn asked her.

"Yup! I'm excited to see everyone," Megan said as they climbed out of the car. Since Finn and her both lived on campus, they hardly got to spend time at home.

"Then let's go," Finn said and grabbed her hand.

Regina opened the door seconds later.

"Finn! Megan!" She cried and grabbed them both in a hug. Megan saw past Regina and spotted her parents. As soon as she broke free of Regina's death trap, she ran into their open arms.

"Megan! We're so happy to see you!" Her mom said. She smiled and turned back to Regina.

"Come in, come in! Dinner is just about to be served," Regina said ushering them into the dining room. Megan sat down at the empty spot and Finn sat next to her.

"Okay, we were just about to find out what everyone has been doing lately," John said, "Since you and Megan came in late Finn, why don't we let Sean start."

"Umm, okay well, I have a new girlfriend, Melissa. We met my shop. You know the bike shop I own?" Sean said playing with his fork.

"Sean that's awesome!" Evan exclaimed. Megan glanced up. He was sitting next to his wife Haley and Doug.

"What about you Evan? You have been all smiles since you got here," Sean challenged.

"Well maybe it's just because I love being here so much," Evan said but then saw the "I'm not stupid" looks we were all giving him, "Okay, okay. Haley and I want to announce that were expecting!" He exclaimed once again. Cheers went up around the table. For the first time since they got there, Megan noticed Aimee and her parents sitting on another side of the table. Megan waved.

"When are you due?" Megan asked her friend Haley.

"June," Haley said, her face glowing.

"Okay, Doug we all know you have some news," Regina said. Doug cleared his throat.

"Yo, I got into community college!" Doug said. Once again cheers went up around the table and Doug took a bow.

"What about you Dill head?" Doug asked Miller.

"Doug!" John scolded. Miller was looking at Aimee and hadn't even noticed the comment.

"I'm going to the same collage as Aimee," He mumbled. Surprise went around the table and Regina got up to hug her son. During this time, Megan noticed that Ian and Caleb were beginning to look a lot like their brothers. "How old is Ian now?" Megan asked herself, "Oh right! Fourteen and Caleb is eight. They sure are growing up fast."

"Finn, I believe it's yours and Megan's turn," Megan's dad said. Everyone at the table turned to look at them.

"Okay," Finn said suddenly nervous. "Why is he nervous?" Megan questioned herself. Finn got up from the table and knelt on one knee. Everyone gasped and all Megan could do was stare.

"Megan Meade, I love you, and I want to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" He asked and took out a ring. Megan felt tears well up in her eyes and all she could do was nod. A smile spread across his face and he kissed her as cheers went up around the table once again. "Well this was certainly an interesting Thanksgiving." Megan thought.

Later that night, Megan walked up the steps to her old bedroom. It was still pink. Doug took Finn's old room after he moved out. Megan heard footsteps and turned. Haley was standing near the door to Evans' room clearly having to go to the bathroom.

"Are you going in there?" She asked.

"No. Oh and congratulations!" Megan said. Haley muttered a quick thanks before closing the bathroom door. Megan walked into the bedroom and closed the door. She sat down on the bed next to Finn who was already in his pajamas.

"You know, this room is really pink," He said. Megan was too caught up in admiring her new ring to realize what he was doing. Suddenly Finn was on top of her, kissing. Megan smiled and turned out the light.
