Nina Chickalini has been waiting all her life to get out of Queens, but something always holds her back. If it isn't the four siblings she raised almost single-handedly, it's the neighborhood pizzeria she's running so Pop can take it easy. At last, she's counting down mere months, instead of years, until she'll be free to embark on her grand adventure.

Leave it to her best friend, good old reliable Joe Materi, to wait until now to make an incredible request.

Have his baby? The last thing Nina needs is another reason to feel tied down. But how can she refuse the man who's always been there for her? Getting in the family way turns out to be easy, and suddenly she's seeing her old pal in a whole new light.

The clock is ticking, her bags are packed, and Joe--muscular arms cradling a baby, sexy voice crooning a lullaby--isn't part of the plan. So why does Nina feel as though she's already embarked on the adventure of a lifetime?
