Frank’s POV

I was up early and so was Gerard’s kids so we was sat round the island talking.
“So Frank, you like our dad don’t you.” Ewan said as he ate his breakfast and Tallie joined us.
“Yeah I like him.” I said and they both looked at each other with this look on their face which clearly meant trouble.
Luckily Gerard walked into the kitchen.
“It’s way to early and it’s a Monday morning for you two to be terrorizing Frank.” Gerard said as he got himself coffee.
“I’ve got training this after school so I won’t be back until later.” Ewan said and Gerard nodded as he looked at Tallie
“Have you got anything on later?” Gerard asked and Tallie shook her head.
“But I do want to talk to you later though.” Tallie said and Gerard smiled at her as he nodded and he sipped on his coffee and then he went outside.
“Think someone really needs some dick.” Tallie said and Ewan looked at her with a huge frown on his face and even I looked at her.
“You need to loose your V card.” Tallie said and Ewan rolled his eyes.
“Yeah but I’m not a slut unlike you.” Ewan said and I literally felt that burn so I decided to leave them two to argue and I went to join Gerard outside.

“It way too early to hear about your children’s sex lives.” I said and Gerard chuckled as he pushed the packet of cigarettes towards me which I took and started to smoke one and also freezing my balls off since I forgot to pick my hoodie up.
“Tell me about it, Ewan I don’t have to worry about since he is the sensible one. It’s Tallie I worry about.” Gerard said as he shook his head.
“Here have my hoodie, I’ve finished out here and I got to hurry those two along otherwise they’ll be late.” Gerard said as he took his hoodie off and handed it to me as he walked inside and I put the hoodie on and looked round to see if anyone was looking and I sniffed his hoodie and smiled to myself as I smoke my cigarette and went inside afterwards.

“You do realize what this shop is right?” I said to Gerard as we stood outside this shop as like what Gerard said he was taking me shopping for new clothes.
“Yeah I do realize what this shop is.” Gerard said.
“This place is really expensive, I possibly can’t spend your money.” I said and Gerard smiled at me.
“Trust me I have two teenagers who have expensive taste in pretty much anything. I want you to spend my money and for me money is no object.” Gerard said and I looked at him and smiled as Gerard gently pushed me inside the shop.
“Go wild.” Gerard said and I was left to walk around the shop finding clothes which I liked and when I found what I like I went over to Gerard who was busy texting on his phone but when he noticed me he stopped and looked at me.
“Found what you like?” Gerard asked and I nodded.
“Want to try them on or just go and pay for it?” Gerard asked and I shrugged my shoulders which made Gerard chuckle.
“Let’s just pay for it and get out of here.” I said and Gerard smiled as we went over and paid for the clothes.

We was sat in this restaurant and I was really enjoying the food.
“How could I like ever pay you back for all of this? I mean I’ve literally just spent over a hundred dollars of your money.” I said and Gerard smiled at me.
“You don’t have to pay me back. Just focus on getting better and just cleaning yourself up and finding a job is a good way to pay me back.” Gerard said and I nodded but feeling completely clueless.
“But I would have no idea where to start.” I said and Gerard looked at me and smiled.
“Well how about we start with getting that hair cut of yours.” Gerard said and I frowned at him.
“Come on you got to admit that it’s a bloody birds nest.” Gerard said and I smiled at him as I chuckled.
“Okay I’ll admit to that.” I said quietly and Gerard smiled at me.
“Have you finished?” Gerard asked and I nodded as I finished my coffee and looked at Gerard who was now paying the bill.
“Come on trouble let’s get you sorted.” Gerard said as he stood up and put his coat on and I did the same.
“I’m not trouble.” I said and Gerard chuckled as he looked at me.
“Not as much as the kids but you are trouble.” Gerard said and I just smirked at him as we walked out the restaurant and went to get my hair cut.

We got home and one of the kids was home.
“Oh sweet Jesus. Tallulah What the fuck are you playing at!” Gerard said loudly as Ewan walked through the front door.
“Why is dad shouting at Tallie?” Ewan asked quietly as he stood next to me in the kitchen while Gerard and Tallie argued in the sitting room and generally moving around the house.
“I have no idea but whatever it is, your sister is in the shitter big time.” I said and Ewan frowned at me as he put his washing in the machine.
“Loving the hair cut by the way, you look better for it.” Ewan said and I smiled at him.
“Thanks Ewan.” I said as Tallie came storming down the stairs.
“It’s not your fucking choice at the end of the day!” Tallie shouted at Gerard.
“You are still a fucking child Tallie!” Gerard said seriously and Ewan looked at me as I looked at him.
“Yeah like it did you a load of fucking good.” Tallie spat and Gerard rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, when you have calmed down come and speak to me again.” Gerard said as he walked outside.
“I’m not even the one who started this stupid argument!” Tallie shouted after Gerard as she stormed off upstairs and a door slammed shut.
“I’ll deal with my sister and you deal with dad?” Ewan said and I nodded.
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Ewan said as he headed upstairs and I went outside.

“Everything okay?” I asked as I helped myself to a cigarette as Gerard paced up and down as he smoked his cigarette.
“That fucking stupid daughter of mine has only gone and gotten herself fucking pregnant.” Gerard said angrily as he pulled out another cigarette and started to smoke it as he threw the packet of cigarettes on the table.
I stayed quiet not know what to say about this.
“Thought that girl had some fucking sense inside that head of hers. But clearly I was bloody wrong about that.” Gerard said as he started to pace up and down the patio.
“She does have sense, maybe she was just worried about how you’ll react when she told you about it.” I said and Gerard glared at me.
“How the fuck am I meant to react to this? My 16 year old daughter is fucking pregnant and she wants me to act like I’m fine with it.” Gerard snapped and I looked down as I didn’t really like this side of Gerard.
“I really need a fucking drink.” Gerard said and I looked at him and I walked over to him and stood in front of him.
“No you don’t. You don’t need that poison.” I said softly as Gerard looked at me.
“You don’t need alcohol. You just need to chill out and then go back inside and talk to Tallie and be the adult in this because right now you are acting like a child. Yes I can understand you are mad at her but you can’t stay mad at her for too long and if she wants to keep it then you will have to support her in that choice otherwise you can kiss everything you have with her goodbye. You would of let you daughter down and I know you will not do that.” I said as I rested my hand on Gerard’s face.
“Just thought she wouldn’t make that mistake.” Gerard said quietly as he looked at me and I smiled at him.
“Well she has and now she needs her dad to support her.” I said and Gerard sighed as he looked down.
“Go inside and make amends with her and sit down and talk like adults.” I said and Gerard looked at me with a frown.

“You’ve got this.” I whispered as I moved out of Gerard’s way and watched him go inside and I finished smoking my cigarette and I went inside.
