Chapter 6

"Here's to Megan and Finn. Be the happiest couple there is!" Major Meade said. Megan grinned. They were at the reception and she was finally Mrs. Finn McGowan. She clutched Finn's arm as she drank her orange juice. Finn drank his champagne. The McGowans cut them some slack because they were already twenty but anyone younger than them couldn't have any. Finn smiled at Megan. How she loved his smile as it made her melt. She turned her attention back to her father.

"Megan. You're mother and I love you. So as our wedding present to you, we give you these," He said and tossed her something. She put her glass down to catch it. It was a pair of keys. She gasped and glanced over at Finn. He was staring at them wide eyed. They were keys to a house.

"Dad! You shouldn't have!" Megan said excited.

"Yes I should have. You're mother and I are being transferred again but to the next town over. So we had to put our house for sale and we thought we give it to you," He smiled putting his arm around Megan's mother.

"We're right down the street from your house," Megan told Finn. He smiled.

"We can join in any Ultimate Frisbee games we want," He said and kissed her.

It was now April and Megan was lounging on the deck chairs with Hailey, Aimee, Ria and Pearl. Tracy had gone back to Texas after the wedding but promised to come up for the Baby shower in a couple months. Megan glanced at Haley, who at seven months pregnant, was looking quite round, and smiled as she read Tracy's email out loud.

Hey Girls,

Just thought I'd check in. Miss all of you like crazy. I have a new beau now. His name is Steve. He's smart, funny and I love him. :) Hope you are all doing well, Hailey how's the babies? Picked out any names? Megan are you having a boy or a girl? You have to tell me! Aimee how are you and Miller? I hope there are wedding plans in the future! Hee-hee! Pearl did you find anyone yet? What about you Ria?

Love you lots,

Trace

Tracy had become great friends with Hailey, Aimee, Ria and Pearl. Megan smiled at the group.

"Should we respond?"

Hey Trace,

Tell us more about Steve! We need to know details!

Hailey: The babies are doing really well. We don't want to know if they are boys or girls or one of each but we picked out a few names. We were thinking Annabel, Rachel, Emily or Rebecca. Michel, Austin, Sam or Evan Jr. (That was Evan's idea.)

Megan: I don't want to know either if I am having a boy or a girl. Secretly I am hoping a girl. Boys have too much drama. Anyway Finn and I are so excited! We'll keep you updated! Love you!

Aimee: Miller and I are great. He doesn't even need to use the Yankees, question method anymore! No wedding bells right now but maybe in the future ;)

Pearl: Hi Tracy! Um, believe it or not but I am seeing someone. Doug.

Megan stopped writing and they all stared at her.

"What? His gangster attitude grew on me," She shrugged. Megan sighed and got back to writing what Pearl was saying.

Yeah, I know Doug right?

Ria: No guy for me but get this. One of our friends from high school, Jenna, she is engaged to her boyfriend Bobby. The only reason I know this is because Bobby knows my brother so I kind of found out that way. But it's not like we would be able to go to the wedding. She ditched us a collage for the cooler kids. Anyway, no guy. :(

Hope you are doing well Trace! We all can't wait to see you in June!

Love,

Megan, Hailey, Aimee, Pearl and Ria

Megan hit send and closed her laptop. She put her hands on her four month pregnant bump.

"Jenna's really getting married?" Megan asked.

"That's what I said isn't it?" Ria said.

"I still can't believe she ditched us at the end of senior year," Aimee said shaking her head.

"Oh well, I just have to wait until June to have my little twins," Hailey said rubbing her stomach. Next month was her baby shower and a month after that was Megan's. Adrian had planned the baby showers and went back to Florida. She was coming up again in a few weeks to help put preparation together. Megan swung her feet over the lounge chair and struggled to get up. She was only six months pregnant but it felt like a year.

"Here, why don't I just put the laptop away," Ria suggested. Megan smiled gratefully and snuggled back down.

"I guess I should head back home. Evan will be back soon," Hailey said and reached out to Aimee and Pearl to help her up. Hailey walked down the porch steps and across the street to her and Evan's house. It went up for sale a few months ago and the bought it so Regina could help Hailey with the twins. Ria settled onto the abandoned chair. She, Aimee and Pearl were spending the night. Their year at collage was done and Megan had finished her online classes. They planned to spend every night at Megan and Finn's house until the baby was born. She told them it wasn't necessary but they insisted. The sliding door opened and Finn stepped out.

"Hey, I'm home." He said and kissed Megan lightly. Finn worked as an Art teacher at their old high school teaching advanced art.

"Hey," Megan replied.

"I'm going to make some salads for dinner if that's okay," Finn asked the girls, "Megan needs her greens."

"That's fine Finn," Aimee replied. Finn smiled and went into the kitchen.

"Do you remember in junior year and I said you were a Finn girl?" Ria asked.

"Yeah! And you said no you were defiantly not a Finn girl!" Aimee exclaimed. They burst out laughing.

"Yeah well I'd have to be now!" Megan exclaimed gesturing to her stomach and their laughter increased. Megan knew these were her girls.

Hey I just realized that Hailey's name was spelled Hailey and not Haley. Sorry! Anyway leave comments! I think I will do only one more chapter which would be when Hailey and Megan have their kids but I am also thinking of doing an epilogue to the series. Let me know!
