Cemetery Drive

***** Three weeks later*****

"Okay, the baby is growing very well. I just wanna check out the umbilical cord before we find out the gender. Is that okay?" Dr. Mara asked.

"Yeah." I nodded and rested my head against the seat. Gerard was next to me and kissed me forehead while Dr. Mara started looking around my belly.

"Alright the umbilical cord seems to be just fine. Now for the gender...." She said then squinted at the screen, "It looks like you two are going to have a baby girl."

"A little girl!" I exclaimed. "Looks like you got what you wanted." I said and leaned up to meet my lips with Gerard.

"Our little Eliza Quinn Way." Gerard whispered and rubbed my belly after Dr. Mara pulled the wand away and cleaned off my stomach.

"Remember to eat well and get plenty of rest, also take your vitamins." Our doctor said as I pulled my shirt back over my bump, I still can't believe I'm already twenty weeks along, that's about half my pregnancy.

"Will do." Gerard said and held my hand as we walked out. We thanked Dr. Mara before heading out to Gerard's car.

"So babe," Gerard said catching my attention, "How about we go get some lunch, maybe with Mikey then we could maybe see a movie then like go shopping, now that we know the gender we could start buying clothes and start building her nursery or-"

"Gerard I know what you're doing." I cut him off.

"I don't know what you're talking about Frankie." He countered.

"Josh's trail starts in an hour. I know you don't want me to go but I still do." I told him while stroking his face.

"Fine." He said then started to drive, "but I'm still feeding you first."

"Thank you baby." I said then kissed his cheek.

Gerard took me to a small little cafe where the food was good but the service didn't take so long so we wouldn't risk being late to court. He also told me that Pete would be joining us, when I asked if Mikey was coming he said no that he was going to stay home with his parents.

"So Frankie, where do you want to set up the baby's nursery?" Gerard asked.

I get why he asked, ever since my dad and I's disagreement I've almost spent every second at Gerard's. And the few times where I was at my house to get more clothes to head back to Gerard's my dad and I would avoid contact. My mom tried to mend things but it was my decision and my dad just wouldn't respect that.

"I-I don't know." I answered as I started to feel tears prick my eyes.

"Oh baby I'm sorry." He said then pulled me into my arms. "I didn't mean to make you upset."

"I know you didn't but," I said then started to sob in his arms, "I-It's just so hard. I f-finally escaped that relationship and I have you and a baby on the way but now I have to deal with my father and Josh's court. I-It's just not fair!" I sobbed into his chest.

"I know baby, I know." He hummed into my hair, "If I could I was take away all your problems." He said then tightened his hold on me.

I snuggled further into him and just let him hold me for a long period of time. After I had composed myself we finished eating before heading over to the courthouse. When we parked I had to take a couple of deep breaths before getting out; I briefly looked around the parking lot in search of my parents cars, I'm pretty sure they're gonna come but we never disused if they're coming for sure. I grabbed Gerard's hand before we started to make our way inside, but just before we walked inside Gerard stopped me.

"I don't like to demand things from you or force you to do anything, but this is an absolute requirement for me if you're going to go in there." He started as he took off his jacket. "I want you to hide the baby bump from Josh with this jacket." He said and handed it to me.

"Gee-"

"Baby I'm not asking." He said firmly.

I took the jacket he was handing me and held it in front of my bump so that it was barely visible. I understand what he was saying and I totally support him but he didn't have to demand it, he could have just insisted on it and I would have done it. I mean he knows I want this baby to know who her birthfather is but that doesn't mean I want her anywhere near Josh. Gerard and I headed into the court room without any other words exchanged between the two of us and took our seats. I could sense Gerard felt bad about demanding me to do something but he didn't want to go back on what he had said, and I was just too confused about the situation to say anything. I was going to say something to him but my parents walked in and took the seats next to me.

"Hey baby." My mom said as she kissed my cheek.

"Hi mom." I said with a smile.

"They're not going to call you up to the stand today but they are going to show the evidence they have and use your case, okay?"

I took a deep breath before responding to her.

"Okay." I told her, I still was nervous though. Soon enough I felt Gerard's hand on mine and his fingers lace between mine.
