Iero's Family!

Iero's Family, ch 1

It was a month since Frank rescued Gerard from Bobby Lancaster's hands, and three weeks since the small, private wedding ceremony, that had consisted of just Frank, Gerard, Lucas, and Gerard's younger brother Mikey, who'd flown up from California for the service, and decided to stay indefinitely.

The service was held in the neighbouring town of Fort Peck, at the Town Hall. It was short and simple, as neither Frank nor Gerard wanted a big fuss, then the four men had gone for a meal at the Fort Peck hotel, before returning to Iero's mountain as the sun began to set.

As Gerard had now officially moved up onto the mountain, the little house that the school board had found for him would've been reclaimed, but as Mikey was also a teacher, and the school had jumped at the chance of having him on staff, especially since they were down a member, Dottie Lancaster having retired from her position and moved away to be near her son, the house had now been passed onto him.

Mikey taught the younger children, 5-8 year olds, so some rearranging of staff had been required to accommodate him, but after much debate, things were organised to everyone's satisfaction, and Gerard even got to keep teaching the sophomores and juniors, which was as he liked it.

Things had settled down greatly in Ruth, and the majority of people were now treating both Frank, and Lucas, with the respect they deserved. And of course, anyone who didn't, would be on the receiving end of Gerard's powerful "teacher's finger".

Frank didn't particularly like being protected, cos he'd always just kind of ignored the stares and harsh words, accepting them as part and parcel of being Indian, but there was no stopping Gerard when he got on his high horse about it, and, to tell the truth, it actually turned Frank on, seeing his 105lb husband facing off against a 215lb man, and having the rancher back down. It was impressive.

That was what was happening right now. They were in Hearst's store, collecting a roll of wire fencing for the new chicken coop that Frank was building for Gerard, and a man by the name of Karl Urban, a rancher from just outside of town, had muttered something derogatory about Frank, and the fact that his hand was pressed against the small of Gerard's back. Gerard had gotten that look in his eye that Frank had come to know so well, and before Frank could even attempt to stop him, Gerard was in the man's face, even though Urban was a good foot taller than him, and telling him off in that tone that he'd learned from his grandma. And wouldn't you just know it, Urban was looking thoroughly chastised already.

".. and if I ever hear any such words coming from your mouth again, Mr. Urban, you can be sure that we will be having words again.. Do I make myself quite clear?.."

Urban nodded, his cheeks red and his head hung low.

".. Good!.. Now, if you'll excuse me?"

Gerard turned on his heels and marched back to Frank's side.
Frank was smirking as he approached.

"You told him!"

He chuckled.

"He had it coming!"

Gerard murmured, as Frank slipped his arm back around his tiny waist.

"Not saying he didn't.."

Frank grinned.

".. But did you have to?.. That guy's got a temper on him. That wasn't the safest person to chew out.. It's kinda like poking a sleeping bear."

Gerard giggled.

"And just how many bears have you poked, Mr. Iero?"

Frank squeezed Gerard's side, gaining a small squeak.

"Far more than I care to admit, Mrs. Iero."

"HEY!.."

Gerard barked, indignantly.

".. That's Mrs. Iero-Way, thank you very much!"

Frank laughed loudly, and pulled Gerard in tight against him.

"Well, Mrs. Iero-Way, let's get this fencing and get back home, cos seeing you poke that bear.. I just want to poke you!"

The look in Frank's eyes made Gerard's knees weaken. He swallowed as his cheeks flushed.

"Ok.."

He whimpered.

".. Let's go!"

Frank laughed and guided Gerard toward the counter.

"Come on sweetheart, let's pay."

Pamela was manning the register today, as her father was at the wholesalers.

"Hello Mr. Iero, Mr. Way.. Sorry, Mr. Iero-Way.."

She smiled.

".. I keep forgetting."

"That's ok Pamela.."

Gerard smiled.

".. It's taking some getting used to for me too."

Pamela smiled back in relief.

"Did I just see you having a run-in with Mr. Urban?.."

Gerard nodded.

".. I'd be careful if I were you.. He punched Deputy Clay yesterday for stepping on his foot. The only reason why he wasn't arrested, was cos Clay decided to let it go.. That guy's got a screw loose, I'm tellin' ya!"

"See?.."

Frank said, looking Gerard in the eye.

".. I told ya!"

Gerard rolled his eyes.

"Oh, for goodness sake!.. I am not now, nor will I ever be, afraid of a man, simply because he is bigger than me, and has a temper.. If I was, Frank Iero, don't you think I'd be afraid of you?"

Frank sighed fondly, and looked toward Pam.

"I can't argue with that, now can I?"

Pamela laughed.

"I guess not."

After they'd paid for the fencing and said their goodbyes to Pamela, Frank and Gerard left the store and headed over to Frank's truck.
Gerard pouted and huffed falsely the whole drive back up the mountain. Frank could tell it was fake, but didn't call him on it.

When they arrived back at the house, Gerard got out of the truck and headed for the front door.

"I think you mentioned something about poking me, before?.."

He called over his shoulder, without looking back.

".. You know where to find me!"

Frank watched, open mouthed as Gerard disappeared inside the house. He stood frozen with the fencing half in the truck, and half on his shoulder. He considered putting it in the barn now, then decided- fuck it! and dumped it back in the flat-bed before racing into the house after his sexy-assed husband.

Frank found a trail of discarded clothing on his way to the bedroom, and with each piece he picked up, he got steadily harder and harder, until he opened the bedroom door, and there, on the bed, wearing nothing but a smile, was his beautiful Gerard.

"God Gee!.. What're you doin' to me?"

He dropped the clothes onto the chair in the corner and climbed onto the bed, crawling over top of the smaller man and pressing him into the mattress.

~Time Lapse- 9:13pm~

They had fallen asleep, wrapped in each other's arms, after making love not once, but three times. After being asleep for a little over two hours, Gerard awoke feeling not altogether well.

Frank's arms were laying heavy around him, and Gerard wasn't sure he could get up without waking him, but he'd try.
Carefully, Gerard picked up Frank's arm from its place across his stomach, and laid it down between them, then he wriggled slowly toward the edge of the bed.
Halfway there, his stomach suddenly rolled and clenched. Gerard clamped a hand over his mouth and bolted for the bathroom, no longer concerned with not waking his slumbering husband.

He barely made it in time, before he was vomiting into the toilet, his stomach spasming painfully, and tears slipping from his eyes.

"Sweetheart?.."

Frank's voice sounded behind him, then he was right there, one arm wrapped around Gerard's waist to hold him up as his knees threatened to buckle, and the other hand holding back his hair from his face.

".. Aww sweetheart, I got you.. Easy now baby."

Gerard retched and dry heaved for a few minutes after the last of his stomach's contents had been evacuated from his trembling body. Frank held him and cooed to him through it all.

When it was clear that he was done, Frank reached over and flushed the toilet, before gently scooping Gerard up into his arms and carrying him back to their bed.
He laid him down and brushed his sweat-soaked hair from his face.

"I'm gonna get you some water! I'll be right back."

Gerard nodded weakly and closed his eyes. His stomach hurt and his throat felt burned and dry. He really hated getting sick!.. And what was worse, was that school started again in just over a week.. He didn't want to leave them short-handed by taking time off ill.

Frank returned a minute later with a large glass of water, and a wet washcloth.
He placed both on the bedside cabinet and gently helped Gerard to sit up, holding him in place with an arm around his back. The then picked up the glass, and held it to Gerard's lips.

"Small sips sweetheart.."

He murmured.

".. That's it, slowly now."

After a few mouthfuls, that freshened his tastebuds and took away some of the burning feeling in his throat, Gerard nodded slightly, indicating that he'd had enough for now.

Frank put the glass down, and picked up the cloth. It was wet, but not dripping wet, and he gently ran it over Gerard's face and around his neck. Gerard sighed, leaning against Frank's firm chest.

"How do you feel sweetheart?.."

Frank asked, softly.

".. Any better?"

Gerard shrugged slightly.

"I still feel a bit sick, but there's nothing left."

Frank frowned.

"You were ok earlier.. What brought this on, do you think?"

Again, Gerard shrugged.

"No clue."

Frank put the cloth on the bedside and shuffled around until his back was against the headboard, then he carefully pulled Gerard over to sit between his legs, with his back against Frank's chest.

"Comfortable my love?.."

Gerard sighed and nodded, relaxing completely in Frank's protective arms.

".. Good!.. Sleep baby.. I'll be right here."

Gerard murmured something, but Frank couldn't hear what he said.

"What was that baby?"

He peered down at Gerard's face, and found that he was already asleep. Frank smiled.

"I love you Gee."

He whispered, placing a tender kiss to Gerard's pale forehead.

"I got you.. You're gonna be ok."

Sighing deeply, he rested his head back against the wall and closed his eyes.

"Good night sweetheart."

Then he too, fell asleep.

Notes

Hi there my chipmunks.. I'm back!!

As I said before, the first story wasn't completely my own as it was a Frerard adaptation of a book, but THIS, on the other hand, is 100% me!.. I hope it's even a fraction as good a story as the first, and that you enjoy it. Btw.. The chapters probably won't all be as long as in the first book, but I will try to keep the same feel going throughout.. If you think I'm straying from the feel of it too much at any point, PLEASE let me know.

Anyway.. Please comment, stay safe, and peace out babies!
