Gerard's POV

I was looking through the mail since it was nearly Seth's birthday and I was waiting for the last of the presents to arrive when I saw something with my name on it which wasn't your normal bill.
I walked inside still frowning at this letter as I put the rest of the mail on the side.
"Your doing a lot of frowning." Frank said which made me jump and look at him and Frank had a concerned look on his face.
"I have a letter from someone." I said and held it up for Frank to see but out of reach of Rella, which she didn't like and screamed in Franks ear.
"Jesus child don't do that!" Frank said seriously and put her on the floor and he put his full attention back on me.
"You reckon it's from your family?" Frank asked and I shrugged my shoulders and sat in the chair and opened the letter and quickly scanned it and saw it was from my parents.
"How did they get our address?" I muttered to myself.
"Babe who's it from?" Frank asked.
"My mum and dad, they said they want to meet Seth and have a catch up and that their sorry for kicking me out when I needed them the most." I said and looked at Frank.
"Well they also have me and Rella to meet and bump." Frank said and put his hand on my bump which made me smile a little.
"I don't know what to do Frank, do I accept and meet them or what?" I said getting myself into a flap about it, like with most things.
"You accept, but if they don't accept you being you and that you have me and the kids then you tell them that you don't need them as you have managed just fine on your own without them." Frank said and I just sighed and looked at Rella who was using my trousers to pull herself up.
I felt Frank wrap his arm round my neck and kiss my cheek.
"You can do this okay. I'll be right beside you, supporting you all the way." Frank said quietly which made me smile and pick Rella up and stood her on my legs where she just started to bounce in her own little way with a huge smile in her face.
"Where's the little bugger?" I asked and I felt someone climb on my lap and I looked and saw Seth with a cheeky grin on his face.
"There he is." Frank chuckled and sat on the arm of the chair.
"I'll see them, only so they can see that I've managed just fine without them." I said as Seth and Rella started to lift my top up and mess with the baby.
Frank smiled and kissed me with I returned but not before I pulled a face since Rella licked my stomach.

"I'm shitting myself." I said to Frank as we got to the place we was meeting my parents.
"Don't do that. You have done a amazing job with Seth and if they can't see that then their just blind." Frank said and I just smiled and looked at Seth who was holding my hand and watching everyone.
"Gerard!" I heard my mothers voice say and me and Frank turned round and saw my mother and father walking towards us.
"Never told me you was once a rich boy." Frank said and I just looked at him.
"I'm not, I'm just the family disappointment." I said and Frank chuckled and I picked Seth up before my parents got to us.
"Gerard, my god look at you." My mother said and went to step towards me but I stood back.
"No closer." I said seriously and for once my mother respected my choice.
"Who's this Gerard?" My father asked.
"This is my partner Frank, this is Seth and that's Rella." I said and I couldn't help but feel uneasy as both my parents was looking at my bump.
"Shell we go and sit down?" Frank said and I nodded and followed Frank and when we found a seat we sat down.

Seth was coloring in the book I got him and Rella was sat on Frank's lap watching Frank coloring something which left me talking to my parents.
"Is that the little boy you was expecting when we kicked you out?" Dad asked.
"Yes, he'll be 5 at the end of next week." I said and looked at Seth who couldn't give a shit what was going on around him.
"He's gorgeous Gee." Mum said and went to reach for him but she looked at me and stopped as I had this look on my face which meant nobody was going to get much say in whatever they wanted to do.
"Gerard, you lost your right to call me that when you kicked me out, and you are not going to touch any of my children." I said seriously.
"Your little girl, how old is she?" Dad asked.
"7 months. I'm 6 months pregnant so I have answered your unspoken question." I said in a snappy way.
"Jesus Christ Gerard! You really want to waste your life away like that!" Mum snapped back.
"To be honest, yeah I would rather waste my life having my children and being the best parent I could possibly be to them rather than throwing them out into the streets and not wanting nothing to do with them for almost 5 years. So why the sudden interest in meeting me? Wondered if I was still alive or just remembered that you have another son." I said and I felt Frank look at me.
"Speaking of which, how is mummies boy?" I said sarcastically.
"Gerard, don't speak about your brother like that." Mum said and I just shrugged my shoulders.
"I was only asking." I said as I had some of my drink.
"We needed to make sure you was okay. What we did is something we should never of done and we're sorry about what we did Gerard." Dad said and I just scoffed and rolled my eyes and folded my arms over my bump and sat forward.
"Well I am fine, you know after I spent most of my pregnancy with Seth on the fucking streets and working so much that I ended up in hospital, nearly losing Seth because I was that stressed and underweight. And if I did lose him I would of been blaming you, I hope you realize that. I have Frank and my family now and to be honest I have never been happier." I said and even Frank looked at me when I said I nearly lost Seth because he didn't know.
"Gee why didn't you come home if you was struggling?" Mum asked.
"Because you threw me out. You told me that if I was to set foot near the house then you would have my baby taken away from me. You told me that I was dead to you and that all I did was bring shame to your family. I wasn't going to lose the only thing which was keeping me alive and keeping me away from the drugs." I said and dad looked down.
"Gee we regret telling you all of that. We was hoping that you could forgive us and let us back into your life again and let us see our grandchildren." Mum said and I looked at Frank who just shrugged his shoulders at me pretty much telling me it was my choice.
"I can't forgive you. I'm sorry but I can't, I needed you so much and you threw me away like I was dirt. How can I ever forgive you for that? I needed my parents to tell me that yes I was stupid on getting pregnant at a young age but i needed you to support me in the choice of keeping my baby. But instead you told me to get out and never to go knocking on that front door ever again. Seth doesn't even know who you are, I never told him about you." I said and rubbed my bump since the baby was moving around a lot and it was getting a bit uncomfortable but I could tolerate it.
"How could you not tell him about us? We gave you life so without you there wouldn't be him in the first place." Dad said seriously.
"Why would I tell my son about that bastards which threw me out? Wow you gave me life but guess what I gave him life and my daughters and my unborn child. I was dead in your eyes like you was dead in mine. Now are we done here because I need to go." I said and pushed my chair back which made Seth look at me and I smiled a smile at him which he returned.
"We are not done." Mum said and I just rolled my eyes.
"Ma'am I think it's best if we go." Frank said but mum shot him a glare which Frank returned.
"Take the kids home, I'll let you know when I'm finished here." I said and looked at Frank and he nodded.
"You going to go with papa little man?" I said to Seth and he nodded and got down from the table and walked over to me.
"Be good okay, I'll be home soon." I said quietly and kissed the top of his head and Seth went to Frank who was holding his hand out for Seth.
They walked off and I was left alone with the parents.

"Well what's there to talk about now?" I asked sarcastically.
"We want to be in yours and your children's lives Gerard. We are sorry that we over reacted when we found out." Mum said.
"What part of I don't want nothing to do with you don't you understand? I was fucking 14 years old when I got pregnant and had Seth when I was 15, and you just threw me out. What part of that don't you fucking understand." I said slowly losing the will to live.
"We was angry at you Gerard, we thought you would be more sensible than what you was." Dad said.
"Amd you thought throwing me out was the best way to deal with it? Yes I fucked up, if my kids got pregnant at the same age as me then I would fully support them not throw them away like shit." I said and stood up and both mum and dad looked at me.
"Where you going? Sit back down we haven't finished." Dad said.
"I'm going home to my family. I have a fetus and 2 young children to feed and you don't tell me what to do anymore so don't bother contacting me again." I said seriously and walked off.

When I got home and Frank was no where to be seen.
"Babe you home?" I said loud enough for Frank to hear me.
"Shush, I've just gotten madam to bed. His lordship is next." Frank said and I smiled.
"You shouldn't off." I said as I walked over to the kitchen but Frank hugged me.
"Nope, you are having a relaxing, cooking, kid free evening." Frank said and I frowned.
"You have had a stressful day. Go and do some art or something. I have everything under control here." Frank said softly and brushed his lips against mine.
"But me and baby are hungry." I said pouting my lips which made Frank chuckle.
"You two are worse than the kids put together, here munch on this, dinner will be ready for us in an hour." Frank said and he gently pushed me into the side and pulled my hips closer to him.
"Frank, Seth could walk in on us. I'm not ready to explain to him how babies are made." I said with a slight giggle and Frank kissed me and I just wrapped my arms round Frank's neck and we got lost making out being lost in our own little world.
"What are you and papa doing?" Seth said and I pulled away from Frank and rested my chin on Frank's shoulder, looking at Seth.
"We're just kissing." I said and seth frowned.
"Why is papa's top off?" Seth asked and I just looked down at Frank's arm tattoos.
"Because he got hot and wanted to take his shirt off." I said but was just lost at looking Frank's tattoos.
"Go and find a DVD to watch in bed and I'll come and put you in bed." Frank said as he turned round and I just traced my finger over his back tattoo.
Seth walked off and Frank turned round and made me look at him.
"You okay?" Frank asked seriously.
"Have I ever told you how much your tattoos turn me on?" I asked quietly.
"You on drugs?" Frank's asked and I shook my head and looked at him.
"Been sober for 4 years. I'm not going to throw that away and lose everything." I said and Frank smiled and kissed me which I returned.
"Go and have some me time, I have Seth and our food under control." Frank said and I nodded and Frank moved out my way and as I walked past he slapped my ass which made me turn round and smirk at him.
