His words made the corner of my lips tug up. Of course Finn was only thinking about the benefit of his child. It was a nice dream, though. Raising this kid with Finn and having more in the future. I wasn't sure how likely it was, but I wanted a future like that.
“I can't wait to show them all The Lion King!” Finn said with a grin.
“Yeah, me too.”
Finn went on to work on my Dumbo drawing. “I like Skylar,” he said, almost like an afterthought. “My kid should always reach for the sky.”
“Like his daddy?” I joked.
Finn stuck his tongue out at me. “Worked for me, didn't it?”

Finn beamed. “That's settled then!”
“I guess so.”
Coming over to me, Finn laid a hand on my belly. “Hey there, little Sky,” he whispered.
Since he was so close, I grabbed Finn's arm and held on to it as I heaved myself back on my feet. Immediately, a feeling of light-headedness set in.
“You okay?” Finn put an arm around my shoulders.
“Yeah.” I closed my eyes for a moment and waited for the feeling to pass. “Yeah, I'm fine.” I stepped out of Finn's grip and returned to drawing. For now, I was okay, but it was moments like this that reminded me we still had a ways to go to reach our happy ending.
