Chapter 33 Three weeks later Frank was still no better. At the minute he was lying in Gerards bed with Gerard fast asleep next to him, snoring peacefully. Frank smiled as he watched his boyfriend sleep.
He loved that. He had a boyfriend who loved him and who he was more than in love with. He was so happy. Everything in their relationship was going from strength to strength. His mom and sister were happy that he was with Gerard and came to love him like he was part of the family. The group had started hanging out at Franks now too and Frankies mom loved it. She loved having the teenagers over and accepted them all. There was only one thing, Frank hadn’t told told his mom or sister about them being vampires, but he figured he would have to soon because she was beginning to think they hated her cooking when they never ate and also said they would eat later. But he figured that wasn’t important right now.
Franks little sister Jo had become best friends with Pembe and now they were inseparable and had became a part of the group and they all felt like they had been friends for years.
Frank felt that familiar feeling in his stomach and his memories had to wait as he made a mad dash towards the bathroom and falling infront of the toilet emptying his stomach contents.
Gerard woke up 20 minutes later to hear the sound of dry renching coming from the bathroom, he got up and went over and opened the door to see Frank sitting infront of the bowl leaning against the bath. He looked pale and exhausted.
"Frank you okay?" He asked concerned. Frank nodded his head as he tears silently fell down his face.
"Yeh I'm okay" he whispered as he wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"Look you really should see a doctor, its been over a month now" Gerard said sitting next to his boyfriend on the cold floor.
Frank shook his head "No I’ll be okay, but if it makes you feel any better ill look up the symptoms on the internet later"
"Okay, but make sure you do" Gerard said cuddling him "I'm so worried about you, this cant be good for your health"
A few hours later Gerard and the twins had gone out for a feed and said they would be back later but Gerard told Frank that if he was tired not to wait up for them and go to bed.
Frank sat in Gerards room with the laptop infront of him. Well he better have a look then.
He opened google and typed in the symptoms and pressed enter and waited for the results.
Frank almost died in shock when he saw what came up?
"Pregnant? ****ing PREGNANT? How can I be damn well pregnant? I'm a bloke for ****s sake!" He growled at the pc. This is why he hated technology so much.
He closed the laptop down and set it on the desk. He vowed never to touch it again.
As he sat down on the bed again, he yawned and realized just how tired he was. He lay back and fell asleep into a deep slumber and didn’t hear Gerard come home and slip into bed next to him and wrap his arms around him.
"I love you" whispered Gerard against Franks head as he closed his eyes and drifted off into his own deep sleep.

Chapter 34
Mikey was up in his room with Hannah. He’d been distant for the past couple of weeks. Not in a bad way, it was just like he had stuff on his mind “What’s wrong babe?” She asked softly. Mikey looked down at her. He couldn’t hide it from her, they never had any secrets. “You can’t tell anyone else. Only Bill knows.” “OK…..” Mikey sighed but didn’t say anything “Mikey you’re scaring me now” “I’m sorry” he said, holding her close. “Look, you know when Gee walked Frank back home the other day” “Yeah.” “Well I went in his room while he was gone to borrow his eyeliner and I…” “What is it Mikey?” “Well I found a packet in his drawer. It had got white powder in it. I think it was cocaine.” Mikey sat there realising what he’d said. The reality of what he’d found began to sink in “HAHA!! You borrowed Gee’s eyeliner?!” Hannah laughed hysterically. “Didn’t you hear the rest?! I found drugs in my brothers room. This is really serious!” “Well did you say anything to him?” “No I spoke to Bill but neither of us know what to do and I definitely don’t wanna confront him about it. I know he’s changed since he’s been with Frank but he’s still pretty mean when he gets angry.” “Look there’s nothing we can do now, we’ll talk properly about it in the morning.” Mikey knew she was right, and he wrapped his Arms around he and they fell asleep.
Next morning, they both went downstairs. The only other ones up were Bill and Amy. The both greeted them and they all sat down at the table again. “So what’re we gonna do about Gerard?” Asked Amy “Mikes I had to tell her, sorry” Said Bill apologetically. Mikey nodded “I don’t know what to do. Franks really sick I guess it’s not really fair to confront him about it now anyways.” “Unless that’s the reason Franks so ill, if Gee’s got him into that ****, that might be what’s wrong with him” Said Bill. Mikey sighed. Everything had been going well and now it just looked like a big mess. They sat there in silence for a few minutes, when Gerard came walking into the kitchen, “Woah you guys look serious, wassup?” Mikey glared at his brother, “How could you do it Gee, behind all our backs?” Gerard stared at him “I dunno what you’re talking about Mikey” “Cocaine Gerard! What the hell are you doing with cocaine, I found it the other day when you took Frank home. I wasn’t gonna say anything but I can’t take it anymore. Why?” Asked Mikey his eyes were gleaming red. He was so angry with Gerard. He’d always looked up to him but now he just felt disgusted. “Mikey what cocaine, I don’t underst…” Mikey threw the packet down on the table. “It was in your room Gee, it’s not gonna be anyone elses is it? Is this why Franks so ill, have you got him doing it as well?” “Mikey I swear it’s not what you think. I don’t know why Franks ill, he won’t go and see a doctor. Honestly, I haven’t got Frank taking anything.” “Whatever Gee, I don’t wanna speak to you until you start giving me some proper answers.” The whole group got up and left the room without giving him a second glance.
Frank came up 5 minutes later. Gerard was supposed to be getting him a drink, only he’d been taking an awfully long time to get it. He walked into the kitchen and saw Gerard staring out of the window. “Gee what’s wrong?” “Frankie, I don’t want you to hate me” Said Gerard sadly. “Gee I could never hate you. I love you.” “Well it looks like you’re the only one that does.” Replied Gerard, then he walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
Chapter 35
Frank sat in his room, he was bored out of his mind, everyone had gone out for a feed and he really didn’t feel like joining them. The sight would probably want to make him vomit more.
He decided for a laugh, he’d go to the drug store, just to keep himself amused and get him out the house and get some fresh air whilst he was at it, surely that would do him so good right?
Frank walked down the aisles, picking up some hair products, grabbing some extra eyeliner while he was at it. He looked over the shelves to the home pregnancy tests, trying to work up the courage to go over there. His head hurt just thinking about it, so he ducked his head and continued like he was browsing. The candy aisle lifted his spirits, and he absently grabbed four snickers bars before finally making it over to what he came for.
His eyes widened as he realized there were so many. Which one to get? He glanced up and saw the cashier looking back at him. Frank knew he was blushing, but he wasn’t going to come away empty handed, he’d look like an idiot. How many different ways can a person find out their pregnant? One came with its own timer, another turned colors and still more made music. Music. He smiled and picked one up, frowning as he read the song. William Tell Overture? No thank you… Frank put it back on the shelf and moved on, stopping in front of a plain box. Plus if you’re pregnant, minus if you’re not. Simple and to the point.
He needed simple right about now.
Picking it up, Frank stuffed it in the middle of all his purchases and went to the cashier, leaning on the counter in a way so any other customers couldn’t see his purchases. The woman smiled briefly at him and started ringing him up, and he wondered for the umpteenth time how could he actually entertain these thoughts. "For the girlfriend?"
He blinked. "I’m sorry, what?"
"For the girlfriend?" The woman lifted the box and smiled. "You’re a bit young, aren’t you?"
"No, you’re just old." He snapped, snatching the box out of her hand and slamming it into the bag. The woman glared at him and they didn’t exchange any more pleasantries as he paid for his purchase, glad to be out of there. Frank didn’t talk again until he thanked the cab driver as he climbed out of the car, and clutched his bag to his chest until he made it back to his room.
He threw the bag on the bed as if it had burned him, and laughed at himself and the whole stupid situation. This was crazy. Frank shook his head and went to pick up his remote, but then he remembered the snickers inside the bag and he really wanted one. Or two. Hell, maybe even all four. He rummaged around the bag and stopped as his hand hit the box.
Frank pulled it out and looked at it, reading the directions absently as he opened the snickers. What could it hurt? He’d get a laugh and it would quiet the unsettled feeling in his stomach, no matter how crazy this all was. And it was.
Crazy.
He smiled and shrugged, taking a huge bite of the candy bar and walking to the bathroom. Five minutes later if anyone else had been in the room they would have heard a surprised wail. "ARE YOU ****ING SERIOUS?!"
Frank stared up at the ceiling from the bathroom floor and sighed. It was a plus. It was a ****ing plus. He had spent the past two hours lying on the tiled floor alternating between laughing his head off and staring at the offending stick in confusion. The box offered nothing beyond what he already knew. Plus meant pregnant, minus meant not.
It was a ****ing plus.
His head was beginning to ache and that meant it was time to stop staring into the light and get off of the floor. He got to his feet and laughed once more, shoving the used test into the box and dropping it into the trash can. This was crazy and it didn’t mean it was real. He laughed again and walked back into his room and sat down on the bed, staring at the laptop that he’d left on the table. "This is all your fault." He jabbed his finger towards it. "If I hadn’t looked anything up I wouldn’t be sitting here losing my mind over something that’s obviously not real."
The computer looked hurt and Frank nodded, vindicated. This was just a virus.
Just a virus.
Just a virus.
Just a virus.
…Did he have to go to the bathroom again? Frank got up and sped to the Bathroom just to spill the contents of his stomach once again.
