“Hey, man. I’m Finn.” The new guy says, as Kingsley introduces him to everyone and then heads to his office, letting Finn look around and get a feel of the place. He’s been into town for several days, staying at a hotel in town.

“Hey, great to meet you,” I say honestly. His smile is contagious, even though it’s half hidden behind a mound of facial hair. He looks hipster to the extreme, but with an edge.

“How are you getting along around here?” Jase asks from beside me.

“It’s tough; I hate moving.” He chuckles, but I can hear how exhausted he is, especially with the little one wriggling around in his arms.

“Hi, pretty girl.” Jase coo’s at her, and she leaps towards him without preamble.

“Whoa, hey,” Finn reaches out and catches her before almost dropping her.

“It’s okay, can I?” Jase reaches for her, and he hands her over.

“She’s usually shy; you must be good with babies.” He smiles at Jase, his smile is friendly, and I can tell he’s going to fit in just fine around here.

“It’s been a while, but I grew up with all kinds around.” Jase smiles. “You look around, get settled, this little lady, and I are going to go right over here to Joker’s station and color. You wanna color with markers?” He asks her, but I doubt she has any idea what he’s saying. He’ll have to show her. She’s adorable.

“That one’s your husband, right?” Finn asks, nodding to where Jase and his daughter just sat down.

“Not yet, someday,” I reply seriously. No doubt in my mind it’ll happen someday.

“I can’t believe everyone’s married here, or close to. Nobody gives a shit?” He asks. To be honest, before I’d moved here and met these guys, it was a foreign concept to me as well.

“No one bats an eye. Conner lived here his whole life, so everyone knew him and knew he liked men. Then, when we moved here, he met Kayson. Then, Kingsley met Morgan; then Jody met Cam. Jase and I just got together during summer break, so less than six months. We’re serious, though.” I tell him, just in case he gets any ideas.

“Hey, no, I was just curious. It’s new for me, that’s all.” He clarifies. I can understand that; I tell him as much.

“Do any of you have kids?” He wants to know while looking through pictures of different pieces hanging on the wall.

“The guys’ brother Jinx and his wife Layla, but they moved back to their home state just recently. To tell you the truth, I’ve only met them a handful of times, myself. But they visit often. They have a daughter, she’s about your daughter's age, maybe a little younger.

“That sucks, I was hoping y’all knew of a good daycare or a nanny type situation or something.” He asks but shrugs it off.

“Conner and me can help with that.” Morgan pops his head out from the office where Kingsley is hanging out answers that question. “I work from home; I could babysit until you found someone more permanent.
