Marshall's Park is a monthly serial of twelves parts. Join Finn and Aiden as they get to now each other and fall in love.
Being Marshall's Park's resident mascot, Monty the Meerkat, wasn't exactly what Finn Thomas envisioned when he arrived in LA seeking fame and fortune. Although he did get to walk the red carpet every once in a while... when there was a parade. Finn loved his job but to say he wasn't used to being accused of kidnapping, wrestled to the ground by a maniacal father and locked in a cell with a hairy biker, would be an understatement. But that’s exactly where he finds himself when he meets a little girl with a grazed knee who's looking for her daddy.
Aiden Reid came from money and privilege. He'd expected his parents’ reaction to the news that he was going to be a father. Although being thrown out on the street with a check in his back pocket when he refused to sign the adoption papers, shocked even him. In Santa Monica he moves in with his eccentric aunt and life is good. Good that is, until Aiden loses sight of Kayley at the local zoo, Marshall's Park. When he spots her being led away by a man mountain, one word flashes before his eyes... kidnap! Of course, the freak says he works at the park, but Aiden calls the cops and has the lying bastard arrested. The following day, he learns that the lying bastard was telling the truth and has grounds to have him arrested for assault. How the hell is Aiden going to convince Monty the Meerkat not to press charges?

It's been a month since their unconventional meeting when Aiden wrestled Finn to the ground and had him arrested for kidnapping. After accepting Aiden's heartfelt apology, which included jumping into the dolphin pool with Finn—even though he couldn't swim—Finn has spent the last month getting to know Aiden and his daughter, Kaylee, on a series of play-dates. But now it's time for grown-ups only, in a restaurant that doesn't have a kid's menu. His attraction to Aiden has blossomed over the last month and Finn desperately hopes the other man sees him as more than a play-date.Aiden is as nervous as Finn at the prospect of the first 'real' date he's had since Charlie Sheen's second to last comeback. When Aunt Patti suggests he has a little nip of Bourbon before Finn picks him up, his arm doesn't take much twisting. Unfortunately, he conveniently forgets the antibiotics he is currently taking and becomes a little less and less inhibited as the evening goes on.

Finding some alone time when you're both working all hours is difficult. Especially when any togetherness is disturbed by pant-less monsters and ageing relatives.
Not that Finn objects to pant-less monsters and ageing relatives, he understands Aiden is a package deal and wouldn't have it any other way; but they both want to take the next step.

Meeting the new boyfriend's parents is always a little daunting, but for Aiden it's like stepping into the unknown. He's never actually met a boyfriends' family before, and that's the way he likes it. His own parents threw him out when he announced not only was he raising the child he had with his best friend, but that he was also gay. The thought of their standing at the Country Club being tarnished by the shame he had brought down upon them, being more than his mother could bear.
Finn, of course, reassures Aiden that his family will love him, that they're good people - well he would, wouldn't he? Adding that even if they hated Aiden, they'd have to tolerate him to keep Kaylee, didn't help to ease his panic.
Will Aiden be proved wrong? Or will a series of mishaps and misunderstandings make him wish he'd stayed at home?

Finn doesn't mind being the victim of the occasional practical joke. He's pulled more than enough of them in his time, so understands the need for balance. Which is why, when Monty's head goes missing and in its place is a ransom note demanding tickets to Marshall's Park and a personal tour of the zoo, he finds it as funny as the next man—until he realizes it's not a joke, and he may miss Kaylee's show and tell because of it.
Being Sherlock Holmes was not how he'd planned to spend his one weekend off a month, so why is he hiding in the bushes waiting for the kidnappers to collect their reward? Of course, he's certain the culprit is Chris, which is why he plans to make him pay in ways he hasn't even thought of yet. But when he jumps out, he's not sure who's surprised more, him or the kidnapper—who is definitely not Chris.

Asking Finn to move in was the most natural thing in the world; but that didn't stop Aiden from freaking out about it.
Unbeknownst to Aiden, Finn is having his own mini meltdown, only it's not about moving in. It's Kaylee's Show and Tell and Finn is terrified. Until Aiden finds a way to relax him with surprising results!

Becoming part of Aiden and Kaylee's family, and having them become part of his, was the best thing that had ever happened to Finn. Which was why he couldn't understand why Aiden's family didn't want anything to do with their son and granddaughter. Of course, there was Aunt Patti who had stood steadfastly beside her nephew, her support unwavering, but Finn knew there was a piece missing in Aiden's heart. A piece not even he could fill. But is embarking on a mission to meet Aiden's parents and let them know what they're missing going to bite him in the ass?
