A New Way is on the Way

As soon as my face hit the pillow on the bed I was out, I don’t even know why I was that tired, it’s not like I did much. Whatever, I got to sleep. When I woke up Frank wasn’t next to me, I instantly got sad thinking he left me and our baby. My sadness soon turned to a full outrage of anger and I stormed out of bed and over to the dresser that contained his clothes. Grabbing as many as I could I opened the window of our room and threw them on front lawn, to my displeasure the sprinklers didn’t go off so the grass was dry.

When all of this clothes were outside I sat on the bed and started to cry. I had just pulled out my phone to call Gee when it started ringing to Frank’s ringtone. I decided to answer it, but before I could even say anything he started to speak.

“Hey babe.” He sounded happy.

“Don’t ‘hey babe’ me.” I snapped at him.

“Is everything okay…?” He asked.

“Really? ‘Is everything okay?’” I mocked him, “You fucking left, and now you’re calling me!” I yelled at him.

“Yeah… I know I left, I had to.” He said sounding confused.

“If your gonna fucking leave me and our unborn child I at least deserve a reason why?” I yelled at him.

“Wait.” He said then I heard muffled noises from the back round and a door shut close. “You thought I was leaving you as in divorce?” He asked, frank sounded slightly sad.

“Well…. Yeah.”

“Mikey… its 11am on a Monday. And I’m a teacher, I’m at school teaching kids, right now is my break. I would never leave you and our baby.” He told me.

I looked over at the clock and he was right. I felt stupid.

“If you don’t believe me then asked Gerard, he’s right across the hall from me.” He said.

“I-I uh…” I was lost for words.

“I’m not mad.” He laughed, “Being pregnant can make you forgetful, its fine.” He laughed again.

“I’m sorry.” I said.

“Like I said, its fine, I love you.”

“I love you to….” I said feeling really bad about what I did to his clothes, most of them were expensive.

“Is something wrong?” He asked full of concern.

“I kinda got mad…” I started.

“I know, I understand.” He chuckled a bit.

“…. Andmayhavethrowyourclothesonthelawn.” I said really fast.

“What?”

“I threw you clothes out on the lawn.” I said biting my lip in fear he would be mad at me.

I heard him take a deep breath before he spoke again.

“Its fine, but can you please pick them up? I would love to go home and help but my next class starts in a few minutes.” He said.

“I really really really am sorry. I swear I’ll dry-clean them all and-“ I started.

“Mikey,” He cut me off, “It’s really fine.” He laughed, “I gotta go, I love you.”

“Love you to, bye.” He hung up.

I groaned to myself and got up off the bed. Why am I such a fuck up? I sighed and got up and started to go outside, I was taking my time and running my hand over the baby.

“If you ever think something that is really bed, it probably isn’t.” I told her, “Talk to your mate first, don’t ruin their clothes. This is a valuable life lesson; I hope your listening in there.” I said then poked my belly and laughed a bit. I must be going crazy.

By that time I had made it outside and was staring at the mess I had caused. Wow, Frank had a lot of clothes; we really need to go through all of them. I picked up an armful and walked back inside and threw them on the sofa. I walked back outside and repeated the process, by the third time a familiar car pulled up in front of my house.

“Hey baby brother.” Gee said happily and came over to me and hugged me, after the hug he bent down so his face was level with my stomach and he gently placed a hand over the baby.

“And how’s my little….” He looked up to me, not knowing the gender of the baby.

“Niece, it’s a girl.” I smiled. He smiled to. This was Gerard's first niece and I think he was excited.

“And how is my little niece doing?” He asked and the baby gave him a small kick and his eyes widened. “Wow.”

I smiled and so did he, then he stood up straight and looked to the mess I caused.

“So I heard about this and I decided to come over and help out.” He gestured to the clothes.

“What did you hear?” I asked biting my lip.

“He was in my classroom while you guys were on the phone.” He told me and I felt my face burn. “Its fine, Frank wasn’t mad, he thought it was funny, plus your pregnant, you have that as an excuse.”

“Whatever. Just help me bring these inside.” I said and that’s what he did.

When we had finally brought them all inside, we decided it would be best to just take them all to get washed since they all smelt like dirt. We took Gerard’s car to the place and had to take two carts that were overflowing with clothes. When I told the person working that we needed them by tomorrow, she looked at me with her jaw open. I kinda felt bad to give her such a big order. The price came up to over $400 and that’s when my mouth dropped. I was about to hand over my credit card but Gerard beat me to it.

“Gee no.” I whined. “This isn’t your problem to fix.” I told him.

“Come on Mikey, let me something for you.” He said and I let him.

“Don’t think this means you don’t have to get me a gift for the baby shower.” I warned and we both laughed.

I hope he knows I want kidding. But knowing my brother he was going to do something over the top.
