Ever After

*Frank’s P.O.V*
Lyn-Z: "Okay honey, this is going to feel really cold."
I nod, taking Gerard’s hand, Gerard nods and Lin-z pulls out a wand and rubs this clear gel on my stomach. She was Right.
Frank: "Oh Jesus Crist!"
Lyn-z: "Ha, Ha. I told you."
She smiled and turned on a T.V, There on the ultrasound was at first nothing but within minutes there it was, a little heartbeat. I smiled as tears filed my eyes, A heartbeat. Gerard holds my hand tighter. Our baby. Lyn-z looks at us and smiles.
Lyn-z: "There it is, there is your baby. You can’t really see much but. You can see the where the heart is."
She points to the small little thumping on the screen.
Frank: "Thank you."
Lyn-z: "Anytime, I could get a picture for you,"
Gerard: "That would be great. Thanks."
Lyn-z nodded and went to work. I smiled at Gerard and closed my eyes. The lights flickered on and Lyn-z walked over to us with a paper towel. She hands it to me and I clean up the gel on my stomach and she takes out her clip board.
Lyn-z: "Okay Frank. You are about 6 weeks along, Are you having any problems sleeping?"
Frank: "Well not sleeping, Just nightmares."
Lyn-z: "Well okay it’s somewhat normal concentering what you have been through, so any other problems?"
Frank: "Morning sickness. But that is about it."
Lyn-z: "Okay, I can give you something for that."
Gerard: "Okay so anything else?"
Lyn-z: "nope, um I wanna do some test, nothing really."
I nodded and she pulled up some things, after some blood samples and a few other things, we were saying good bye.
Lyn-z: "Come see me in a few weeks, here is a script to help with the morning sickness, call me if anything happens."
Frank: "Yes, Ma’am."
Lyn-z: "Here you go."
Frank: "Thanks."
She handed me an envelope.
Gerard: "Bye."
Lyn-z: "bye."
We walk out and into the parking lot, Gerard helps me into the car and we drive to the store to turn in the script. We drive over to the house, Bob runs out jumping around.
Bob: "Come look inside! I’m an artist!"
Gerard: "Artist? I bet you don’t even know who Leonardo Da Vinci was."
Bob: "Who?"
Gerard: "never mind."
Bob: "whatever, come and look!"
We walk into the house, Bob was right, the house was amazing.
Frank: "Bob did you, did you do all this?"
Bob: "Yes. You like?"
I nodded. I loved it, Bob really knew us. There was pictures of all of us on the walls everything was how I dreamed our house would be.
Gerard: "Tomorrow, I’ll check out of the hotel and well move in here. Let the paint dry."
Frank: "Oh Gee!"
I jumped and hugged Gerard, Bob just smiled.
Frank: "Oh Thank you Bob."
I hugged Bob and he hugged back.
Bob: "So how did it go at the docs?"
Frank: "Oh Look!"
I showed him the picture,
Bob: "What is it?"
Gerard: "It’s an ultrasound, you dumb ass. That’s our baby."
Bob: "Baby Way? Sweet."
Frank: "Yeah, I know."
Gerard: "Frank you want to stay here? I have to get Mikey. You could stay and help with some of the baby’s room."
Frank: "Sure!"
I kissed Gerard and watched him walked to the car. I waved bye as he drove off.
Frank: "So what we going to do?"
Bob: "Well I don’t know."
Frank: "I could help carry some box’s upstairs."
Bob: "No way. Gerard will kill me if I let you or that kid get hurt carrying box;s up stairs."
Frank: "oh Bob, I’m not that fragile."
Bob: "Fine. I carry up boxes and you can unpack them. Okay."
Frank: "Yea! I’m helping!"
Bob: "As long as you don’t kill yourself."
I nodded and walk up the stairs and into a room with the tape on the door that says "Baby’s room". This is it. Bob followed and set down a box. Then left. I smiled and lay down on the floor taking it all in. Our own house.
*Gerard’s P.O.V.*
On my drive to the school, it started to rain. Great. I didn’t have a jacket. I pulled up at the parking lot and waited. I could hear the bell ring and I looked out the window one last time be for getting out of the car and running into the hell hole that they called school. I was looking for locker 136, Mikey’s. Walking I see someone I haven’t seen in years.
Gerard: "Bert? Bert McCracken?"
Bert: "Yes? Holy shit. Gerard? Gerard Way?"
Gerard: "Yeah, Hey, What’s up?"
Bert: "Nothing much just working."
Gerard: "You work here?"
Bert: "Yeah, It’s been what 6 years, man you look different. Wait didn’t you graduate?"
Gerard: "yeah Dick head. But you wouldn’t know, you moved. What are you doing back in Bellville New Jersey?"
Bert: "I was looking for work and got a job here. So how are you doing?"
Gerard: "Fine, Um I draw comics, I’m engaged, and expecting a kid soon. I got my own place. Life’s good."
Bert: "That’s awesome."
Gerard: "God it’s been years. I haven’t see you since I was what 14?"
Bert: "Something like, hey remember when you dyed your hair white to piss off Mr. Huss?"
Gerard: "Yeah haha. Or when you turned his class room all around and he flipped his shit."
Bert: "Ha, Ha yeah. so what are you doing here?"
Gerard: "Oh Shit, I came to pick up Mikes."
Bert: "Mikes? Your little brother?"
Gerard: "Yeah, I got to go, it was nice seeing you again. Maybe you could come by sometime?"
Bert: "sounds great."
Gerard: "Here’s my house number."
Bert: "I’ll call."
Gerard: "Okay, bye."
I waved and took off running to the end of the hall, then I ran into something, or someone.
Kid: "Watch where your fucking going."
Gerard: "Sorry, I didn’t see, holy shit it’s you. That little punk that has been beating up Mikey."
Kid: "Yeah so."
Gerard: "Jason? Um Jason Matthews."
Jason: "Yeah?"
Gerard: "Well,"
I grabbed him by his hair and punched him in the face, he then falls to the floor and I kick him in the gut and I then get down to his level. I looked him dead in the eyes and whisper into his eat.
Gerard: "You ever mess with Mikey Way or Frank Iero ever again. I’ll Kill you. Get it?"
Jason: "Um Yes. Yes."
Gerard: "That’s what I thought."
Jason ran from me I think I scared him. Whatever. I walked down the hall way. I walked into the office and seen Mikey sitting in one of the chairs. He was soaking wet and looked cold. His hood pulled up over his head. Glasses fogged up.
Gerard: "Mikey?"
Mikey: "Gee."
Gerard: "What are you doing in here?"
Mikey: "Well I was kind of hiding from Jason."
Gerard: "Well let’s go. I don’t think Jason will be much of a problem anymore."
Mikey: "Oh God, what did you do?"
Gerard: "Nothing, we just had a little chat."
Mikey nods and stands up he then follows me down the hallway. I walked into the cafeteria and over to the vending machine. I slide some change in and then hand Mikey the candy bar. He slowly takes it and looks at me.
Gerard: "So you will never guess who I ran into."
Mikey: "Who?"
He says as he takes a bite out of the candy bar. We walk out of the calf and back into the hallway.
Gerard: "Bert."
Mikey: "Who?"
Gerard: "You know Bert, Bert McCracken. I used to hang out with him all the time."
Mikey: *Whispers* Bert McCracken? I don’t remember him."
Gerard: "sure you do. Kind of tall, had a beard. He works here."
Mikey: "Mr. McCracken? That doesn’t even sound right."
Gerard: "Well, never mind it will come to you. It’s been like 6 years. You were like 11. Okay well let’s go.
I pull out the keys to the car and we run out in to the rain and into the car and drive back to the house.
