Hi guys. A thousand times sorry for being late with an update. My life pretty much suck right now, but I'm trying to write myself out of it, so hopefully there will be an update soon.

Again, a thousand times sorry. And thank you to all the wonderfull people who have reviewed. Keep it cming, because it keeps me going.

And now for the quote of the week:

Sheriff Lamb: I know you from somewhere.

Wallace: Yeah, you told me to go see the Wizard and ask him for some guts.

Sheriff Lamb: Well, did you?

Wallace: Yeah. smirks He said to let you know that you're the only sheriff in America that he considers a true Friend of Dorothy.

Again, an old favourite from Veronica Mars


Chapter 6: I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers Chapter

"I'm not talking to you" Finn said into the phone.

Colin laughed. "Well then you should probably not have answered your phone. I just wanted to know how it went."

"It was... eventful" Finn said evasive. "Look, I'm just pulling up at the hotel, I'll talk to you later."

"Ok" Colin answered and hung up.

Jane almost flung herself at Finn. "Where have you been?"

"Sorry, but like I said, some things just came up…"

"What things?"

"Jane, I really don't want to talk about it now, okay? I had a really long night…"

"Finley, you can't just brush me off, I was worried sick. Tell me what happened. Does it have something to do with the woman that was late to the party?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, your friend Colin sort of suggested that you used to have a thing for her in college."

Finn felt like smacking Colin silly at that moment, but also knew he had to come clean with Jane, well, almost clean. He had no intentions of telling her about his little sidestep with Rory.

"Yeah, well wasn't that nice of him. Could you please sit down?"

He motioned to the bed in the hotel room and they sat down together.

"I have a son!"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah. A four-year-old son. I found out yesterday at the party, that's why I left."

"With this woman?"

Finn nodded. "Her name is Rory. We had a one night stand back in college, and when I left she found out she was pregnant, but never told me."

"Finley that's awful" Jane said, stroking his back. "Have you met him?"

"Yeah, I have. I actually met him in the park a couple of days ago, but I didn't know then. And I went to Rory's apartment this morning to see him. His name is Daniel."

"And you are sure that you are the father?" Finn shot her a dirty look that made Jane cringe a little. "I'm sorry, but how well do you know her? She could be in it for the money."

"Rory is not that type of girl. She doesn't sleep around and she doesn't blackmail rich guys. I met the kid, there is no way I'm not the father. He looks exactly like me."

"Oh. Well, what is the plan then?"

"I don't know. I want to be a part of his life, but I don't know how to."

"We'll figure something out, I promise, Finley."

Jane felt awkward. This wasn't exactly how she had pictured having a family. She wanted her and Finley (she refused to call him Finn like his stupid friends did) to have their own children, without interference from some old lover or whatever she was. And to be quite frank, Jane wasn't all that sure about the whole paternity thing, at least not until she got to see this child for herself.

She looked at her engagement ring. She and Finley had been together for three years and she was head over heels in love with him. He was everything she wanted and she was already planning their life together, hopefully on a farm outside Sydney with five kids. She would stay at home with them and Finley would run his dad's company. Somehow she didn't really imagine his child with another woman being apart of this fantasy.


Very short, I know. I'll try to do better next time. But please leave a review, because they fuel me and inspire me to write more.

Thanks
