Pay the price

*****7 months later*****

"I like this one." I said holding up a small blue onesie.

My mom nodded and agreed.
Currently we were out shopping for clothes for the soon to be baby since we already had all the furniture, diapers and formula taken care of.

i hadn't really talked to Gerard since the night I left except for a few text messages. He'd ask me where I was or when I was coming home and I'd tell him to fuck off.

"Okay I think we have enough clothes." My mom laughed. "Let's go get something to eat I'm hungry and my back hurts from standing."

I nodded and grabbed the bags for her then we walked to a small restaurant down the road. It was a sports bar and my mom wanted a burger so we just decided on here.

We walked in and sat at a booth and watched whatever hockey game was on until a waiter came to take our orders. My moms hormones made her change her craving for a burger and she ended up getting a chicken wrap with a coke while I got a salad and a dr. Pepper.

We ate and talked about the baby which was due next month and talked about what it's name should be if it was a boy or girl since it was a surprise, but we avoided the topic of the babies dad.

Mom didn't really want to bring up the fact that the child she was carrying was my 100% brother/sister and that she'd hooked up with my dad while I'd been gone. Of course she didn't care enough at the time to try and get ahold of me so I could finally meet the man who created me but apparently he ran off just like he did with me when he found out mom was pregnant.

I was really proud of my mom though for being sober through her pregnancy since she'd found out and I was happy we were finally family again. When the bill came my mom tried to pay but I slapped her hand away and told her not to worry about it then gave the waiter the money.

"Frankie I have to go the bathroom okay I'll try to be quick." She said placing a kiss on my cheek before running off to the ladies room.

One thing I didn't like about her being pregnant was that she hogged all the bathroom time but I couldn't blame her I'd never be able to handle being pregnant.

as I sat waiting for her return a figure slid into the booth across me. I looked up and I'm almost positive my eyes grew ten times bigger.

"Gerard?" I gasped "what're you doing here?"

"So this is why you've been avoiding me? Frank we got into one fight which I tried to apologize for and you, you go and do this!" He snapped at me with watery eyes.

"Do what?" I asked clueless.

"You went and knocked some chick up!! I'm not blind I could see your little date perfectly from the bar." He whisper yelled at me and I could see he was now about to cry.

"Gerard oh my god no! That is not what's going in here at all!" I said.
"I didn't answer you because every time we fought you'd make me feel like some cheap hooker all over again but I would never go and knock someone up especially when were still together." I said.

"We're....we're still together?" He asked with stray tears now falling down his cheeks.

"I didn't say we were done did I? Gerard I just needed a brake from all your comments. You were really close to pushing me to the edge again so I needed to get away." I sighed.

"I think seven months was a long enough brake." He mumbled

"Frankie baby who's this?" My mom said returning and looking at Gerard.

"Frankie baby?" He asked unbelievably glaring at me with rage in his voice.

"Mom" I over exaggerated. "This my boyfriend Gerard."

she smiled and held out a hand. "I'd hug you but I can't exactly do it with this thing in the way." She joked motioning towards her belly.

Gerard shook her hand and then she invited him over to our place for the afternoon, and suggested he could help us decorate the nursery.

Gerard agreed and smiled at her then grabbed my hand as we walked out of the restaurant. I tried to look at him and see what he was thinking but he avoided my gaze and all I could tell from my view was that he was still crying.
