Harmony laughed. “And if he is anything like Preston, he will adult-proof it as well.”

My mother walked into the room and set a box on the dining room table. “Darling, I’m going to see if Clare needs any help in the kitchen.”

I nodded, then asked, “Mom?”

She stopped walking and faced me. “Yes?”

“Has Dad said anything, about me or the baby?”

Her eyes filled with sadness as she slowly shook her head. I nodded and forced a grin.

After she left the room, Harmony walked over to me and wrapped me in her arms.

“He’ll come around, Rory.”

My chin trembled as I took in a deep breath. “I hope so.”

“Right now he’s living on that same island as my parents.”

Drawing back, I gave her a questioning look. “What island is that?”

She winked. “The I’ve-got-my-head-up-my-ass island.”

Laughing, I walked over to the grandfather clock that had been left with the house. I wasn’t going to let my father ruin this day, so I changed the subject.

“Why do you think the owners left this clock?” I asked while winding it up.

“I don’t know. There has to be a story behind it. Did you ask them?”

“No, but I left a message with the agent to ask her if she had the number for the previous owner. It was a single woman, and this house had been in her family since the day her great-great-grandfather built it.”

Harmony signed. “It’s kind of sad to think she sold it.”

I came back to the table, reached in the box, and took out a frame. I walked over to the mantel and set the picture of Harmony, Preston, and Presley on it. Smiling, I placed my hands on my bump.

“You’re getting bigger. How do you feel?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “Amazing.”

Harmony giggled. “The morning sickness?”

“Is all day but it’s starting to taper off. It’s more of a feeling of nausea.”

Presley let out a screech of pure happiness as she chased Flash all over the place.

“I still can’t believe you guys stole Flash.”

Attempting to hide my smile, I replied, “We didn’t steal him. My father was being ridiculous. We simply snuck into the firehouse after Finn quit and asked Flash if he wanted to come with us or stay there.”

Harmony crossed her arms over her chest. “Uh-huh. That’s how it went down, huh? You left it up to the dog to decide.”

With a nod, I replied, “Yep. Totally up to Flash.”

She rolled her eyes. “Is that why you guys spent six hours in jail until your mom came and bailed you out?”

“Minor misunderstanding.”

The guys came walking into the house, laughing and stomping snow off their boots.

“Who’s hungry? I made a lasagna,” I said with a wide smile. “Oh, and Clare is finishing the salad and homemade dessert.”

I’d never seen a whole group of guys stop what they were doing and turn to head in one direction before.

“Wow. Is my lasagna that good?” I asked.

Harmony laughed. “No, Clare is that single. Look at the two who stayed behind.”

A warmth filled my chest as I watched Finn and Preston running from Presley. Harmony locked arms with me and laughed.

The road to that very moment hadn’t been all that long, but it had been bumpy at times. There was no doubt in my mind I wouldn’t travel down it again and again if it meant I was as happy as I was.

I hadn’t even had to worry about going back to work, even with us purchasing a five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house on ten acres outside of Salem. Between Finn and me, we had saved twice the amount we needed for the down payment. Clare teased us for being overachievers.

Teaching was still on my radar, but I was content to put it on the back burner for now and to help Wes and Finn with the business—and to prepare to be a mom.

“How did we get so lucky, Harmony?”

She smiled. “I don’t know, but I’ll never take it for granted.”

A small flutter moved in the pit of my stomach and I froze.

Harmony slowly turned to me. Her grin grew wider.

“You felt him!”

Sinking my teeth into my lip, I nodded.

“You felt him!” she screamed out. Presley followed her mother’s example and screamed as well. Except she did it as loud and for as long as she could.

From across the room, our gazes met. Finn looked so incredibly happy that I couldn’t help but laugh.

He slowly made his way over to me. His hands cupped my face and he gazed lovingly into my eyes.

“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered before kissing me softly.

Reaching for his arms, I held on while he took me to that place no one else could.

“How did I get so lucky in my life?” he asked while his lips trailed along my neck, sending goosebumps across my skin.

“I could ask the same question.”

He searched my face. “We’re getting married in two weeks.”
