You've been staying with your family friend Finley for a bit while your mom and her husband went on their honeymoon. It always felt a bit awkward, but it was nice to at least not be alone. Finley was always very kind and chill anyways. His baby daughter Emma was the cutest thing ever as well...

You were with him as you went to watch his little sister Jasmine's graduation, along with his older brother Mikey as well. It was nice as you found your seats and waited, thought you felt a tightness in your chest. A sudden pain and tingle in your gut and shortness of breath. You looked down slightly, knowing you were on the verge of a panic attack no matter how bad you didn't want to be. You glanced over to Finley next to you who was just holding baby Emma to his chest and playing with her. He was making silly faces and just giving her small kisses, seeming occupied. So, you look down, gripping your pants a little and bouncing your knee, praying to god it would go away. But no, it only got worse. You closed your eyes but re-opened them when you felt a soft tap on you arm. You quickly glance up, seeing Finley looking down at you with a rather understanding and mildly concerned expression

"Do you wanna step out...?" he asked in a low tone, already ready to hand Emma over to Mikey. When you didn't answer, he frowned but turned it into a caring yet mildly playful smirk. He handed the baby to his brother, before wrapping his arms around you in a tight and playful squeeze as you sat, rocking you back and forth. "I know I know... life is so hard..." he said, using a baby talk voice and sounding playful. Though not teasing in any way. Just... kind and playful
