"I..."
"Don't say anything yet.Not until I'm done."
Finn nodded.
"I must have done something good in my life for you to walk into it and give me everything I've ever wanted.I know Nova and I have been good parents, but I know that without you by his side, Bevin wouldn't take things as seriously as he does now.Giving me the opportunity to meet you.There are so many things that make me love you, Finn.And I can't wait to walk by your side to see you accomplish every one of your dreams.But I don't want to do it only as your lover."
He released Finn's hand.Finn gasped and covered his mouth when Prince opened his palm, as if he had performed magic, showing a platinum ring with a ruby and diamonds.
"I want to be your husband.Marry me, Finn.Be my husband.Let's be responsible for each other."
Finn was already nodding as he reached out with shaky fingers to take the ring, but Prince closed his palm.
"I need an answer, baby."
"Yes," Finn said as he felt something wet slip down his cheeks, just realizing he had been crying."Yes, I'll marry you."
Prince slipped the ring on his finger, and it was a perfect fit.But before he could admire it, Prince pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you," he whispered, kissing Finn on the side of his neck.
Finn buried his face in Prince's shoulder, feeling like he should be the one to say thank you for giving him everything he had ever wanted.
"It should beat the Grand Veramont Hotel," Bevin said, glaring at his grandfather.
"What's wrong with the Solenne Banquet Hall?It's the perfect place to have a wedding," Hunter argued back.
"It's not good enough," Bevin said.
"Hey, kid, I got married there," Hunter growled.
"This is ridiculous," Prince whispered."I'm glad we didn't tell them about the baby."
Finn looked at Prince, who was watching the two argue, his head moving back and forth like it was a tennis match.They'd announced to Bevin and Hunter that they were engaged, but had held off on telling them that Finn was pregnant until after their first doctor’s appointment together.But who knew that telling Hunter and Bevin about their engagement would lead to what was happening now?
Bevin had declared himself Finn's best man and wedding planner before Hunter could say anything, but Hunter insisted on where the wedding should be held.
"Maybe we should just elope and let them do whatever the hell they want," Finn said, jokingly, but the look Prince gave him made Finn think he had said something crazy.
Prince took his hand and pulled Finn out of the room and to a secluded alcove in the Sullivan family home, pinning him against the wall.
"Say that again," Prince said.
"What?"Finn wasn't sure what Prince was talking about.
"You said we should elope, are you serious?"
"I..."Finn stuttered.
"I don't care when or how we get married, Finn.We can hop on a plane tonight, head to Vegas, and get an impersonator to do it.Or we can do the big bash.I don't mind dealing with Bevin and my father's insanity.All I care about is making you happy.All I want is to spend the rest of my life with you, and I don't care how we do it."
Finn smiled.He liked hearing that.Truthfully, he had never dreamt of having a big wedding.He simply wanted someone to be by his side in the good and bad times.
"Let's go to Vegas," he said."Let them plan their wedding; they want us to have it, but we will have the ceremony we want."
Prince grabbed his arm and pulled Finn out of the house just as he heard Hunter and Bevin's voices get louder.
Prince openedhis eyes and raised his hand to rub the sleep from his eyes, and stopped when he caught the glint of the platinum band on his finger, making him smile.He and Finn got married three weeks ago, and Prince couldn't be happier.They had told Bevin and Hunter, who were furious with them but then changed course and started planning a reception for family and friends that would fall on Finn's birthday.Prince was also planning a few surprises for his husband on that day.
