"Good morning, daddy," I whispered, giving him a kiss. "Merry Christmas."

Frank smiled, wrapping his arms around me.

"Merry Christmas, baby boy," he mumbled.

I buried my face into the crook of his neck, hugging him tight. I couldn't help the tears that welled up in my eyes as I cried quietly.

"What's wrong, baby?" He asked.

"I just missed you last Christmas," I whimpered. "You were gone for so long, you missed Lily's first Christmas. It wasn't the same without you here."

"I'm here now and it's gonna be the best damn Christmas I can make it," Frank said.

I smiled, kissing the tip of his nose.

"Come on, I'll go make breakfast," he said.

"No, we need to open presents first," I pouted.

"Baby boy--"

"But daddy," I interrupted, "I want you to open my present, you're going to love it."

"Fine, presents first then breakfast," he said. "Let's just wait until Lily wakes up."

I nodded, cuddling up with him. He put a hand over the little bump on my stomach and I smiled. But then I felt sick. I got up, hurrying to the bathroom as I threw up.

"Are you okay, baby?" Frank asked.

He ran his fingers through my hair as I wiped my mouth and flushed the toilet.

"I'm fine," I said quietly.

It seemed the commotion woke Lily up as we heard her cry. Frank got her out of her room and I smiled at her footy pajamas that looked like a little elf outfit.

"Merry Christmas, Lily," I said, kissing her forehead.

She smiled, reaching for me. I held her and sat on the couch as Frank sat beside me.

"You wanna go get the presents, Lily Bear?" I asked.

I set her down on the ground and she went over to the Christmas tree, playing with low hanging ornaments which were, thankfully, attached securely.

"Lily, grab that box," I said.

She picked up the small box and brought it back.

"Here, like this," I said.

I helped her unwrap it and she gasped when she saw the toy. She shook the box and I grabbed another box.

"This one's for you," I said.

I smiled happily as Frank opened it and pulled off the lid of the box.

"Oh, baby boy," Frank muttered.

He had a small smile but still a sad look on his face.

"Y-you don't like it?" I asked, my lip quivering.

"I love it, princess," he said. "But we had a fifty dollar limit, this looks really expensive."

"It's an old present," I explained. "I bought it for you last year for Christmas just in case you came home."

Frank smiled, pulling out the Steelers jacket. He tried it on and smiled happily.

"How does it look?" He asked.

"You look so handsome, daddy," I said, giving him a kiss.

Frank smiled, running his fingers through Lily's hair. She was sitting on the ground at our feet, playing with the box.

"My present sucks," Frank mumbled.

"No, I bet it doesn't," I denied.

I went over and picked up the last present under the tree.

"No," frank muttered, taking it from my hands. "It sucks. I'll return it and get you something better."

"No, no," I denied. "I'm sure it's perfect, daddy."

Frank bit his lip before handing me the box. I unwrapped it and pulled off the lid. I picked it up and smiled. It was a white shadow box and inside was pink background with Lily's ultrasound. Above it it said 'Lily Angelina Iero-Way' and below it said 'Our Little Miracle From Heaven'.

"It's stupid," he muttered.

"It's beautiful," I whispered. "Oh my god, I love it so much!"

I gave him a hug and smiled.

"This is the most perfect present in the world," I said. "It's beautiful, Frank."

He smiled, kissing my temple.

"I'm gonna go make pancakes," he said.

I nodded and he got up and went to the kitchen.

"Here, Lily, it's more fun if you take the toy out of the box," I said.

I took the toy of the box and smiled. It was one of those little electronic pianos with six colorful keys that lit up and played a note when you pressed it.

"There we go, our own little musician," I said.

I set it on the ground and Lily tapped it, laughing when it made a sound.

"We're going to my parents for lunch and then to your mom's for dinner," he said.

"Lily's gonna be passed out by eight from all that," I said.

I ran my fingers through her hair as she pushed on the keys. I got up, going to put the shadow box on my dresser.

"Perfect," I muttered, walking back out. "Hey, Frank, you should just invite your parents over to my mom's. they're gonna be alone and my mom will love having them."

Frank nodded, grabbing his phone as he turned back to the stove.

"You're gonna get to see your family again, Lily," I said.

I heard Frank talking on his phone as I sat beside her. I played a small pattern, hitting three keys. Lily copied me and I smiled.

"Good girl," I said.

A few hours later we were all dressed and heading down to my mom's house. I set Lily down on the ground to give people hugs when we walked in. Someone went to pick Lily up and she screamed, clutching my leg.

"Oh, sweetheart," I muttered.

I picked her up and she clutched onto me.

"Frank, it's so nice to see you again," my aunt said, giving him a hug.

"Come here, Lily, say hi to everyone," I said.

"No," she denied.

I rubbed her back, going to sit down on the couch.

"We aren't staying long," Mr. Iero said. "We're going out to eat. We thought we'd give you your presents now."

"Here's Lily's," Linda said.

Lily sat in my lap and I took the box as Frank sat beside me. Lily helped me to open it a little and I smiled when I saw a dress.

"It's a little big but it should fit next year," Linda said.

It was pink with white lace creating the design of flowers.

"Gee," Linda said, giving me a smaller box.

I smiled and opened it, finding a small necklace with a pink gem.

"It's Lily's birthstone," she explained.

I smiled, giving her a hug.

"Oh my god," I heard Frank mutter.

I looked over and saw that he had already opened his gift. Inside was a picture frame with the photo Frank Sr. took of me and Lily in the hospital the day after she was born.

"You like it?" Mr. Iero asked.

Frank let out a choked sob as he nodded, hugging the picture frame to his chest. We have them their present, which were just shirts. One said 'best grandpa in the world' and the other said 'best grandma in the world'. They both also had Lily's handprints pressed onto them with paint. If you couldn't tell, we were going pretty cheap on presents.

"You're leaving so soon?" I heard my mom say when they went to the front door.

"I'm sorry I missed it," Frank whispered, staring at the photo.

"It's okay," I said. "I know you wanted to be there. And you'll be here for our second kid."

Frank smiled softly and nodded as Mikey hurried in.

"Gee, Frank, you might wanna come here," he said.

I frowned, carrying Lily on my hip as we went into the office and shut the door. We stood around the computer as he clicked onto YouTube and typed in Frank's name. He clicked the first video there was and put it onto full screen.

It was taken back in the basement, Frank looked completely beaten and worn out. They dragged him forward and set his hand onto a metal table as they brought out a large knife.

"Stop, please, stop," Frank begged as he cried, trying to pull his hand away.

They raised the knife up and Frank hit the person holding him. His hand pulled away just as the knife swung down. They had meant to cut off his whole hand but only got his pinky instead. Frank screamed, hugging his hand to his chest. He wrapped his shirt around the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Let me go!" Frank screamed. "Let me go home!"

Frank sobbed as they hit him over and over again until the video ended.

I covered Lily's ears when she started crying from Frank's screams.

"How many views does this have?" Frank asked with pursed lips.

"A hundred thousand," Mikey said. "It's the first thing that comes up when you type your name."

I bounced Lily, shushing her quietly as she cried.

"Report it," Frank said. "This can't possibly be allowed on YouTube. They have a violence rule, right?"

Mikey started clicking things and he walked passed me.

"F-Frankie?" I asked, quickly following behind him.

He went to Lily's diaper bag and pulled his gun out of the side pocket.

"You had that in there?!" I shrieked.

Frank ignored me, walking out the front door. I handed Lily to Mikey before following quickly, not bothering to grab shoes or anything.

"Come back inside, it's freezing out here," I said, wrapping my arms around myself.

"Come out here and fucking face me!" Frank shouted. "I'll fucking kill all of you!"

"S-stop," I begged, my eyes filling with tears.

I tugged on his arm but Frank wouldn't budge.

"I'll kill you!" Frank screamed.

Everyone was standing in the doorway, watching the commotion. I could hear Lily crying and saw her trying to get out of Mikey's arms to come to us.

"Frankie, you're scaring me," I cried.

I hugged him tight, sobbing into his chest. What if Frankie never gets better? What if he stays like this forever? I didn't like this Frank, we argued more and he scared me sometimes.

I panicked, not wanting him to stay like this as I clutched him tighter. He kept cursing and shouting. I felt light headed with every quick intake of breath between sobs as cold air filled my lungs. Before I knew it, everything faded around me as I felt myself collapse on the cement.
