Chapter 306
Gerard pulled up the car outside the two story house and got out of the car, getting his son out of the backseat and walked up the stone path and stopped at the wooden painted door. Gerard paused a few seconds, but just as he was about to raise his fist to knock on the door he heard a familiar female voice behind him.
"What are you doing here?" said the voice.
Gerard spun around and came face to face with Bills fiancée.
"Come to make things up, well try" said Gerard looking at the smaller girl.
Gerard looked at Amy and noticed she had changed her hair colour. Her bright pink hair was gone and instead her hair was now a chocolate brown.
"Your hair looks nice" complemented Gerard as Amy fished out her keys to let them both in.
"Thanks" smiled Amy as she pulled out the metal and placed it in the keyhole and turning it.
"What made you change it?" asked Gerard as Amy pushed the wooden door open.
The smaller girl shrugged "Fancied a change"
"Fair enough, does Bill know?"
"Nope" replied Amy as they closed the door behind them. "Bill?" shouted Amy as they walked through the house.
The pair heard footsteps upstairs and figured it was Bill or Tom. Amy figured it was Tom, as her fiancée appeared from the living room.
"Amy!" he cried as he saw his fiancée and ran up to her wrapping his arms around her waist. "I’ve missed you!"
"I’ve missed you too" she said as she buried her head into his neck.
Bill didn’t notice the other black haired male standing behind his fiancée until they broke apart and he looked up.
"What are you doing here?" asked Bill glaring at the other teenager as he wrapped a protective arm around Amy.
"I’ve come here to try and patch things up with you and Tom, is he in?"
Bill nodded. "TOM!" he shouted, once again they heard the footsteps coming from above them and soon two teenagers began their descent down the stairs.
Amy raised her eyebrow as she saw the other boy walking down behind Tom, their hands entwined, once they reached the bottom Bill began to speak.
"Gerards here" he said nodding towards the older way brother "he wants to patch things up or something" said Bill raising an eyebrow as he looked at Gerard.
Tom nodded "Ok" he said, before turning to his boyfriend "You and Amy hang out together, I’m sure you’ll get along. We wont be long"
His boyfriend nodded and Amy agreed, and they both kissed their partners on their lips while Gerard stood their uncomfortably watching the two couples, before they went back upstairs leaving the three males standing in the hallway.
"Lets go into the living room" said Bill, the other two teenagers nodded and followed him into the living room and took their seats on the sofas.
"Why are you wanting to patch things up now?" asked Bill raising a pierced eyebrow.
"Me and Frank were talking –" said Gerard before he was interrupted by a dreadlocked teen.
"So it was Frank whos making you do this, you didn’t do it of your own free will?" said the elder twin.
"No!" said Gerard defending himself "Frank doesn’t know I’m here"
"Oh" came the reply from the twins.
"I just wanted to say I’m sorry for the way I’ve been acting recently, I don’t want the group to split up. You guys are like family to me" said Gerard honestly – well almost honestly.
The twins looked at each other and nodded and Bill spoke first. "I understand, and I feel the same way. I’m sorry for what we say, it was uncalled for"
Bill turned to look at his twin, and when he refused to say anything Bill elbowed him in the ribs. Tom glared at his twin before deciding to speak to avoid another jab from his brother.
"Yeah me too" he mumbled not looking up. He felt like a child.
"Good, so are we cool then?" asked Gerard looking hopefully at the two.
The twins looked at each other, Gerard figured they were doing the twin thing – reading what each other was thinking and all that, he hated when they did that.
The twins turned back to Gerard and nodded "We’re cool" they said at the same time.
Gerard smiled "Good"
"By the way" began Tom "I do have a boyfriend. That was him, Jonny, who went upstairs with Amy"
"I’m sorry I didn’t believe you, I was an idiot, Why did you keep it a secret?" asked Gerard looking at the dreadlocked teen.
"Gerard I know we have just made up and stuff and I understand that you want everything to be like it was, and I’m happy about that. It’s just, you have to understand I’m not going to completely trust you at first, y’know?"
Gerard nodded "I understand"
Bill smiled as he watched his friend and his twin talk. "Do you guys want a coffee or something?"
Gerard shook his head "No I really should get back, Frank will be wandering where me and Jaidon are" he said looking at the squirming child in his arms.
Bill nodded "Okay, well we guess we’ll see you soon?"
Gerard nodded "Sure"
The three males said their goodbyes and Gerard shouted up to Amy and Jonny to say he was leaving, and heard them shouting their goodbyes back.
Gerard smiled and opened the door and let himself back, shouting a final goodbye to the twins and their partners before closing the door and walking back down the path and to his parked car. He opened the back door and placed the squirming infant in the car seat and fastened the belt. Before shutting the door and getting into the drivers seat and starting up the engine and heading back to his home.

Chapter 307
Gerard stopped the car outside his house and walked up the driveway, Jaidon struggling in his arms once more and he struggled to open the door while trying to keep Jaidon from diving out of his arms. He pushed the door open and set Jaidon down on the floor, something they'd avoided since getting the dog back because they wanted it to settle down first. Jaidon crawled into the lounge and Gerard followed closely behind to make sure he got there okay. He looked over the back of the couch and saw Frank lying there, eyes glued to the TV with the dog on the couch beside him,
“Frank, don't let the dog on the couch!”
“But Gee, he was cold and I was lonely and if you'd hurried back then I wouldn't have had to do it.”
“So it' my fault that you felt sorry for the dog and had to let him on the couch then?”
Frank looked thoughtful for a minute before grinning and nodding happily,
“Did they have any problems with Jaidon? And where is he anyway?”
Jaidon crawled around the couch and looked up when he heard his name, causing Frank to smile. He pushed the dog off the couch and leaned down to scoop his son up into his arms for a cuddle.
“No, your mom was out when I went around but mine said he was really good.”
“What? But what about his biting and stuff?”
“Nope, none of it. She said it's just a phase and that he'll grow out of it anyway.”
“Oh, okay then. She sounds like she knows a lot about it. Maybe we should ask her if you were like it?”
Gerard's eyes widened slightly, “No.” He spoke a little too quickly, before realising and trying to put a smile on his face, “No, she probably won't remember. She has trouble remember what she did last week, never mind when I was a baby.”
Frank smiled softly and looked up at the older male,
“How come you were so long anyway? I woke up as you were leaving.”
“Well, my mom kinda talked some sense into me.”
“Wow! How did she managed that?”
“That's not funny! She just said the same things that you did about making things up with the twins. I guess hearing it from more than one person makes you understand more than if just one person says it.”
“How did she know about the twins?”
“She said she'd been talking to Mikey and anyway, she'd find out sooner or later.”
“So...did you go and see them?”
“Yeah. I didn't think Tom would go for it but I think things are gonna be okay, he just said he needed a bit of time to trust me again which is fair. Bill seemed fine though.”
“Aww Gee, I'm really proud of you.”
“Thanks Frankie.”
Gerard took a seat next to his fiancé and looked at their son who was falling asleep in Franks arms. He looked back at Frank and smiled lovingly at him,
“So, you were okay while I was gone then?”
“Yeah. I think I'll be fine if you go back to work and if I struggle with Jaidon, I can always call one of our mothers.”
Gerard nodded, he'd been worrying about when he was going back, especially now they had a dog and another baby on the way. They needed the money more than ever.
“Ooh, I forgot to tell you. I saw Amy when I went to the twins' and she's dyed her hair!”
“Wow really? What colour is it now?”
“It's brown. It looks really nice.”
“I can't wait to see it.”
“We'll get together with everyone soon Frankie, just let things calm down properly okay?”
Frank nodded happily. It felt like everything was falling into place again.

Chapter 308
A few hours later Gerard and Frankie were sitting on the couch watching mindless TV, not really caring what was on, just enjoying being in each others company. Frank turned to look at his fiancée and smiled as he watched Gerard eyes glow from the light of he TV. Gerard sensed he was being watched and turned to face the smaller man.
"Yes?" said Gerard raising an eyebrow as Frank continued to look at him.
"Nothing" said Frank, keeping his gaze fixed on the other teenager. "Your pretty" he said after a little while.
Gerard raised his eyebrow again and gave Frank a weird look. "I’m pretty?" he said confused.
Frank nodded "Yeah"
"Frank, you call girls pretty not guys" laughed Gerard
Frank pouted and shook his head "Nope" he said seriously "I think your pretty. That’s the only way to describe it. Gorgeous and Pretty and Beautiful"
Gerard continued to laugh and hugged the younger man "Your mental" he laughed "But I love you"
Frank stuck his tongue out as his fiancée before speaking again. "We need to think of a name"
"a name?" questioned Gerard turning to his fiancée again.
Frank nodded "For the baby!"
Gerard laughed "Frank we don’t even know the sex yet!"
"So! We can still think of names!" insisted Frank.
Gerard shook his head "Fine, but you can do that" he said, knowing Frank would forget.
"Yay!" clapped Frank, he secretly wanted to do that. He smiled contently to himself and snuggled against Gerard. The older man looked down and saw his fiancée yawn and close his eyes. Knowing that if Frank fell asleep he wouldn’t be get up without waking the younger teenager.
"Come on, why don’t you take a nap?" said Gerard lifting his arm up and making Frank move.
Frank pouted and frowned as he was forced up. "But I want to stay down here with you!" he complained.
"Yes but sleeping on the couch wouldn’t be good for you or the baby, now get to bed and I’ll make us something nice for tea" said Gerard smiling as he watched the younger man yawn again. Finally Frank gave in and let himself be taken upstairs and into the bedroom. Gerard helped strip him from his daily clothes and into bed, he covered his fiancée with the warm covers and smiled as he watched Frank almost immediately fall into a deep sleep. He laughed and gently kissed Franks forehead and left the room, remembering to close the curtains on his way out so Frank wouldn’t be woken up by the bright afternoon sunlight.
Gerard made his way back downstairs and into the living room. Instead of making his way over to the couch, he made his way to the back of the living room where a set of drawers sat under the large window. He opened the top drawer and pulled out his black note book and a pen, shutting the drawer before he made his way back over to the couch and sitting down. He opened the notebook to the page he had been writing on previously and almost immediately began writing.
Gerard sat writing for atleast 2 hours, crossing things out, replacing words and changing things until he was happy with what was written out on the page infront of him.
He turned the TV down a little and began to quietly sing the words that were written down on the page.
You're not in this alone Let me break this awkward silence Let me go, go on record Be the first to say I'm sorry Hear me out, And if you take me down Or would you lay me out And if the world needs something better Let's give them one more reason now, now, now
We walk in single file We light our rails and punch our time Ride escalators colder than a cell
This broken city sky like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes Hello Angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here
Tell me we go from...
And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapors Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and black It reaches in and tears your flesh apart As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence And if the world needs something better, let's give them one more reason now
This broken city sky like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes Hello Angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here
Tell me we go from here
He sighed as he finished the song and closed the book, placing the pen in the metal binder. He was happy with the lyrics, he had spent days working on them and finally he was happy with him. He couldn’t wait to show the rest of the band the new song. But he wouldn’t yet. He needed a name for it. He wouldn’t show an unnamed song.
He got up and made his way back over to the set of drawers and placed the notebook back into the drawer before turning back round and sitting down on the couch turning the TV back up and flicked through the channels, not paying attention to them.
He looked to the side as he felt the couch sink down slightly next to him, his eyes met them that belonged to his smiling fiancée.
"That was an amazing song" beamed Frank
"You really think so?" asked Gerard surprised, he had no idea Frank had heard the song, he was sure the younger man was still sleeping.
Frank nodded "Yeah, you are really talented"
Gerard felt himself blush as the smaller man complemented him "Thank you" he said placing a kiss on Franks soft lips. Frank just smiled and leant against Gerard again, and for the second time that day, the pair relaxed watching the same mindless TV and letting the day pass by.
