When the Lights Go Out, Will You Take Me With You?

***Gerard's POV***

Frank and I waited in the lobby for Chris and Jess to meet us, so we could head out to dinner. It was now getting on fifteen minutes of waiting. I rolled my eyes, and I could see that Frank was starting to get antsy as well.

"Should we go check on them?" he suggested

"No. Just give them a couple more minutes. They're girls. They always take forever." I stated. He sighed, and continued pacing the lobby. A few more minutes passed, before they finally came down. I let out a sigh of relief, and took Chris's hand in mine. Although, I could tell immediately something's not right.

"Baby? You okay?" I lightly squeezed her hand. She just nodded, avoiding eye contact. I could tell that was complete bullshit, but decided to just brush it off for now. I'll find out later on tonight.

****Later on that night****

The second we got back to the room, Chris went straight to the bedroom, and laid down. I furrowed my eyebrows, and walked over to her, placing her head on my lap. She and Jess have been acting weird all night. Especially Chris. I knew she was hiding something. I'm not that stupid. She and Jess kept mouthing words to each other, and going to the bathroom to talk. She barley spoke at all to anyone. She just sat there, keeping her head hanging low.

"Chris, tell me what's up. Don't even bother trying to lie, cause I know it's bullshit. What are you hiding?" I made my voice as stern as possible.

"N-Nothing. I wanna be alone. Please."

"Well that's just too bad. Tell me what's up, and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the night."

"Nothing, Gerard."

"Chrissi."

"Leave me alone."

"No!" I shouted. I could tell I scared her a bit by the way she jumped.

"Stop. Please, leave me alone. We'll talk about it later."

"No. We're talking about it now!"

"No!"

"Don't make me go ask Jessica. I know she'll tell me. Would you rather me hear it from her, or from you? Now for the last time. Chrissi Ann Way, what the hell is going on?"

"Leave me alone!" She screamed, throwing a pillow at me. I clenched my fists, and looked over my shoulder, seeing Frank and Jessica looking at us as if this were a movie.

"Will you two please excuse us?" I said sternly. They exchanged looks, before nodding, and heading out of the room.

"Alright, Chrissi. I'm going to go take a shower. If you don't tell me what's up by the time I get out, I'm going to Jess for answers. I promise, If you tell me, I don't care what it is, but if you're the one that tells me, I won't get mad. But if I hear it from her, I'll be furious. Okay? So why don't you think about that while I'm in the shower." I could see the tears forming in her eyes, as she threw her head on the pillow. The sound of her muffled sobs made my insides burn. I closed my eyes, before heading to the bathroom.

I stripped off all my clothes, and got into the warm shower. The warm water relaxed my body, calming me down a bit. Not far into my shower, the fucking water started to turn cold. I gritted my teeth, and turned the shower off. I got out, and looked at myself in the mirror. I grabbed a bottle of hair gel, and tried squeezing it out. Just my luck. Empty. I rolled my eyes, and sighed, throwing it into the trash. That's when I saw it. Bingo.

I grabbed the pregnancy test the laid in the trash, and studied it. Positive. How that fuck does Chrissi think she can hide that from me? I felt a sudden rage build up in me, before storming out the bathroom door, in nothing but a towel wrapped around my waist.

"Chrissi Ann fucking Way, do you care to explain this? Huh?"

"I-I-I-"

"You what? You were planning on hiding this from me?! Do you think I'm an idioit?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The tears were already pouring out of her eyes. But I don't give a fuck.

"I-I'm sorry, Gee."

"Don't fucking call me 'Gee'. I want an explanation, NOW." I roared. Her body was shaking, and I could tell I was scaring the shit out of her.

"I-I wanted to tell you later. When I was ready. I wasn't ready tonight. I wasn't going to hide it from you. You know I'd never do that. I was just scared." she sobbed

"Oh my god, but Chrissi, we've done this before! I wasn't mad last time, why would I be mad this time?!"

"I don't know, okay? I was scared!"

"Why are you afraid of your own husband!? I would never hurt you, you know that!"

"I don't know! I'm sorry, okay!?"

"No. No it's not okay. I'm the fucking father, and I should know before anyone. That's what you were talking to Jessica about all night, am I right?" she slowly nodded. "Fucking bullshit." I mumbled.

"I'm sorry." she whispered.

"I'll be back in a bit. I just need time to cool off." I sighed

"Where are you going?"

"Anywhere. I dunno. I just need to be alone."

"Please, don't leave me." she sobbed.

"Chrissi, just give me space. This is a lot to take in. I'll be back." she buried her face back into the pillow. I sighed, and walked out.
