Iero's Family!

When Gerard woke up, he found himself curled up in Frank's arms, nice and warm in his hospital bed. He opened his eyes just a crack, and peered around the dimly lit room.
There was a small TV on the wall opposite the foot of the bed, that was showing some old comedy movie. Gerard thought it might be a Carry On film, but he didn't know which one.
He could see Mikey and Lucas sat on chairs next to the bed, laughing quietly at whatever was happening on the screen, and every now and then, he felt Frank chuckle too.

Gerard stayed still and quiet, just enjoying observing his little family in this peaceful moment, before all Hell broke loose, and their lives were changed forever.

Frank had a small, half smile on his lips as he watched the TV, and he seemed to be enjoying the irony of some of the jokes, where Mikey and Lucas were more focused on the slap-stick element.

Gerard closed his eyes and let his mind wander to the decision he had ahead of him. It was scary to think that in a few months time, he could be having a baby; that there was currently a tiny human being, growing right there inside him.
He had always wanted kids, and it wasn't that long ago that he had wished for almost exactly this to happen.. but that didn't make the decision any easier.

Dr. Sager had said that they would have to cut him open either way. That absolutely terrified Gerard, but he understood why it was the only way.
So the only choice he had to make, was~ Did he want this baby, or not?

Gerard knew, deep down, that there was really no decision to be made. He wanted this child with every fibre of his being, and he already felt protective of the little life within him.
The thought of termination was repugnant to Gerard, so, he realised, in about 5 months time, he would be holding his and Frank's son or daughter in his arms.
A smile spread across his lips at this thought. His decision was made.

"I know you're awake."

Frank murmured from above him. Gerard opened his eyes again and looked up, meeting his husband's dark, but gentle gaze.

"You look happy."

Frank smiled, leaning down to kiss Gerard's pale pink lips.
Gerard yawned slightly, and nodded.

"Yes, I am."

He whispered, his smile tugging wider as he spoke.

"I'm going to have a baby."

Frank's eyes lit up.

"Really?.. You want to do this?"

"Yes, I do."

Gerard confirmed.

"I just realised, this is meant to be, and as long as I have you by my side.."

Frank nodded, his grin spreading.

"I can cope with whatever life throws at me.. Even if that is some freaky male pregnancy stuff."

He laughed lightly.
Mikey and Lucas turned to look at him with curious, but happy expressions on their faces.

"You ok bro?"

Mikey asked.
Gerard nodded, snuggling against Frank's side.

"Yes Mikes, I'm just fine."

He smiled.

"you are gonna be an uncle."

Mikey and Lucas both practically flew from their chairs to hug Gerard.

"Oh wow bro.."

Mikey cheered.

"I'm so happy for you. And I'll do whatever you need me to do, to help out.. I'll even take some of your classes for you if you need me to."

Gerard chuckled.

"Well, I might have to take you up on that. We'll see."

"I'm gonna be a big brother."

Lucas said, somewhat in awe.

"That's so cool. Congratulations dad, Gee."

Everyone hugged everyone else, and then they sat and talked about what they supposed most normal pregnant couples, and their families talked about, until the door opened, and Dr. Sager returned.

"Well, looks like a party in here. Do we have something to celebrate?"

Frank grinned wide, nodding his head and squeezing Gerard gently to him.

"Yes doc. We, are going to have a baby."

Dr. Sager smiled happily and congratulated them on making the decision, then sat down next to the bed, so they could all start figuring out exactly what was going to happen next.

Gerard relaxed blissfully against his husband, and listened as everyone enthused about the baby. One of his hands moved unconsciously onto his stomach, and he smiled. Just 5 months, and he would hold his baby.. All of a sudden, he couldn't wait.

Notes

Hi there chipmunks.. How's you?..

So sorry for the long wait, but I've been ill, and I'm still recovering now.
I am trying to update all my fics, but it's hard when I keep falling asleep all the time!!

So their decision is made.. I think we all know that there was only one way that could go, right?

Anyway.. Please comment, stay safe, and peace out babies!
<3 Love ya!
