After a one-night stand with his rival Rhett, Tate discovers he is pregnant, forcing them to confront their unresolved feelings from ten years ago. Tate juggles pregnancy with a client, Harlan, who falsifies data to blame his company; raw logs and independent tests clear AsterTrace's name. Rhett moves in to care for him, and the two clear up old misunderstandings and fall in love again. Tate's half-brother Finn has leukemia, and their mother Claire returns only seeking a donor match. Tate protects his bodily autonomy, and an unrelated donor is eventually found. They marry, have the baby, and balance career and family together.
