Home Is Where The Heart Is

*Gerard POV*

I love this girl. Ever since Kat came into my life, I've realized just who I'd like to spend my life with. We even have a duaghter. I know, she's not biologically my daughter, but I love her like my own. Although I'd rather not tell her, if Helena asks me if I'm her dad, I'll tell her the truth. I need these girls in my life.

I wake up to a dark room, Helena held tight in my arms, my breathing heavy. Sweat coated my body. All of the sudden, the lights clicked on.
"Gee?" Kat asks, worried. "You okay?"
"Yeah." I pant out. "Just a nightmare."
"I'm sorry, babe. How about you put Helena to bed?"
"No. I want her to stay with us. I need both of you."


*Kat POV*

I'm worried about Gerard. He hasn't put Helena down since his nightmare three days ago. He didn't shower at all, and only let me hold her to feed her. I don't think he's slept, either.
"Donna?" I ask, heading into her home office. "I'm worried about Gerard."
"I know, Kat, I am, too." She sighed, removing her glasses.
"Should we call the guys over? Maybe they can help out. His dream must have been one concerning Helena, so maybe if they're all here, he'll calm down and realize she's safe here."
"Good idea. If it doesn't work, than maybe we could get him a therapist."

"Gerard?" I whispered that night in bed, as he sat against the headboard with a sleeping Helena in his arms. All the guys were in the living room, sleeping.
"Hmm?" He mumbles sleepily.
"What was your dream about the other night?"
He sighs, pulling Helena closer to him. "In my dream, Cole broke into the house, demanding me to hand over his daughter. When I refused and said that she's mine, he hit me and grabbed Helena. She started crying and I was screaming for help, but no one came. Then he left with her."
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry." I whispered pulling him to me. "How about we give her to the guys tonight so you can sleep. They can go in the family room and lock the doors so you'll know she's safe." The family room was the only room in the large house without windows.
"How about the guys come in here and take care of her? Then if something happens, we'll be here."
"Fine." I sigh, climbing out of bed.
"Can I ask you a question?" Gee stops me. I nod. "If your not actually siblings, how do you two pass as twins?"
"I guess that we just happened to look alike, and mom used it so we'd never question anything." I smile, heading upstairs and talking to the guys.

*Gerard POV*

I woke up a few hours later to Helena crying and Frank screaming 'SHIT'. I jumped out of bed, Kat flipping on the lamp. I laughed as soon as I saw what was going on. Ray and Frank had tried changing Helena's diaper and failed horribly. What was possibly a whole pack of diapers were laying on the floor, filthy. I guess they forgot to wipe her.
"Guys, now we have to bathe her." Mikey sighed, rubbing his eyes. Kat had gotten him, too.
"Yes, you do." She laughed. I settled down, sitting against the headboard. Somehow Bob had slept through the whole thing, so Frank held the dirties diaper in front of his face. Bob yelled out, jumping away and opening his eyes.
"Is everyone o-" Mom asked, running into the room before stopping at the sight. She sighed, rubbed her eyes, and went back to bed. Apparently, this isn't new to her. Wait, she has two kids, of course it's not.
"Geeeeeee!!!!" Frank says sweetly, batting his lashes.
"What do you want, asshole?" I laugh out.
"Will you show us how to bathe and change Helena?"
I start to get out of bed before Kat grabs my arm, stopping me. "I'll do it, babe. You need to sleep." She says.
"Are you sure?"
She grins. "Positive."

*Kat POV*

A few days pass since the diaper incident, and I'm heading to the car to go to the store since Frank wasted all the diapers, when Cole grabs my arm.
"Wha-" He slaps a hand over my mouth, silencing my question and pulling me out back of his house.
"I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to ask if I could see my kid." He says.
I stare at him, dumbfounded. "Are you really going to ask me that, Cole? After everything you've done, you think I'm gonna let you near my kid?" He nods. "The answer is no. And she's not your kid anymore, the adoption papers passed and Gerard's her official dad."
"Fuck you." Cole snaps, slapping me across the face and crossing the yard into his house,

Notes

I'm SO sorry it took so long, I had a bit of writers block. It's like, 10:30 PM here, and we had an unexpected visitor, who's hyperactive energy inspired me to write that bit about Frank's 'Diaper problem'

I'll hand it over to Dee now. I love you guys
