June 20, 2017 - later that morning.

Sitting on the deck with Lyn in his arms Finn thinks about his life with Rory. Now almost five years later they still sleep together like that, her head on his chest and his arm around her. They both love being physically close to each other. In fact, when he is away on a business trip, they are the loneliest and longest nights for him. She is his security blanket, just like Lucas still carries and sleeps with his blanket that his great-grandmother made him.

Suddenly he hears a horn beeping as it pulls into the driveway. Lyn opened her eyes startled and Finn pulled her up and kissed the top of her head. She smiled when she saw her daddy. Rory stood up and helped Finn put on the baby carrier called a Boba and placed the baby in there. They walked around their long deck and then stepped down the stairs that led to their driveway. Liam and Luke didn't wait for their parents. They ran through the house and opened the front door. As soon as Lucas saw his G-pa and G-ma get out of the car he ran down the sidewalk towards them. Finn's Father, Liam Finnegan Sr, got out of the car first and leaned down and picked up Lucas and swung him in the air.

Liam was standing behind his brother hopping up and down saying, "Me too, Up"

Lucas ran over to his G-ma and gave her a big hug. "I wrote a story for my Da and he is going to hang it in his office."

She smiled at her grandson and gave him a big hug, she took his hand and walked with him over to where his father and mother were standing.

She kissed her son on his cheek and then looked at her granddaughter.

"Rory she looks like you."

She then pulled her daughter in law into her arms. "I have missed my favorite daughter."

"I missed you too, Mum," Rory replied and kissed her on the cheek.

Liam Sr came over holding the littlest Liam in his arms. Liam had his arm around his grandfather's neck.

"Come here love and give the old man a kiss," he told Rory. She laughed and gave her father in law a kiss and then she reached out to take her son from her father in law.

"No, my G-Pa" he told her and pushed her hand away.

Finn wasn't happy with this behavior, he was noticing that Liam was becoming a little jealous.

"Liam don't push mama's hands away."

Liam looked at his "Da" and gave him a funny look then pouted. Rory had to bite her lip because when Finn is upset that is the same look he gets on his face.

Amanda bursts out laughing, "Finn your Nana used to say someday, you will have a child just like you and I will be laughing in heaven when that happens."

Rory looked at her husband and couldn't hide her grin. From the moment that her second child was born, she could see the resemblance between the two of them. It was nice to hear that his mother saw it too.

"Here Finn, let me hold that beautiful granddaughter of mine," Amanda said.

"Little L, why don't you help G-Pa bring in the suitcases," his grandfather said.

Liam smiled and got down from his G-Pa's arms and he and Liam ran over to the car. Liam reached up and hung onto the door handle of the car. Finn took Lyn out of the carrier and handed her to his mother and then helped his father and two sons get the luggage.

"Little L, hmm, I think I remember Pops calling me that until you told him to call me Finn."

"Yes he did, and now you have your own "Little L". I knew it the moment he was born that you had a miniature you. Your Nana and Pops are laughing in heaven. Your day will be coming soon son. He already acts the way you did when you were two. Bright and inquisitive, " he chuckled.
