Finn rushes to Steffy and attempts to stop her from leaving town for Paris to reveal the celebratory news, as she, herself, opted not to burden Finn, by letting him raise another man's child. Novlan underlines that "Steffy was running away and here's a guy who has put his life on the line and said, 'I'm going to stick by you,' and trying to get through to her. She's going to try to say, 'Oh, you don't have to do that.' She feels that 'if you love them, let them go,' kind of thing." With such a happy-filled revelation, Finn then proposes to Steffy, and she quickly accepts. Later, with the accompanied assistance of a midwife, the pair welcome their biological son, Hayes Finnegan (Samantha Worden), at home, via water birth.
