Chapter 18
I smiled at Lily, helping her stack another block onto her small tower. She kicked it over and laughed.
The door opened and Frank stepped inside. Lily ran over and Frank kneeled down to give her a kiss. He gave me a kiss to and I smiled.
"How was it?" I asked.
"Hey, Lily Bear, I think it's past your nap time," Frank said, picking her up.
I listened to him put her to bed as she momentarily cried in protest. He came back out and sat on the couch, patting the spot beside him.
"Well, me and Dr. Marshall was talking," he said, holding my hand. "A-and he thinks it's best for me to tell you everything that happened there. Especially since Frankenstein is going to be born in just two weeks, he thinks it's better to do it before then."
I smiled reassuringly, giving him a soft kiss as I squeezed his hand.
"Th-they hurt me a lot when I was there, you know that," Frank started. "And I couldn't take it. I begged them to stop. They said they would stop hurting me but they'd hurt someone else instead. I didn't care, I agreed. B-but then they hurt you."
His finger ran over my chest gently over my shirt where my scar was.
"And I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for them to hurt you. I just couldn't take the pain anymore. I never wanted them anywhere near you or Lily. And then they said they were going to kill you. You were eight months pregnant and they showed me a photo of you. They told me they would kill you if I wanted them to.
"But then they showed me another photo. It was of some lady and her daughter. The little girl was so sweet. She was probably three and had these cute little curly blonde pigtails. They said they would either kill you and the baby or the little girl and her mom. A-and I let that precious little girl be killed. I couldn't let you or my baby get killed. She was innocent and now she's dead because of me. And now whenever I look at Lily I just imagine that little girl screaming as she gets killed or watches her mom get killed. I-it's all my fault."
Frank fell into me as he sobbed. I rubbed his back softly, kissing the top of his head.
"You were protecting your family," I whispered. "Me and Lily and Frankenstein wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."
"I killed a little girl," Frank whimpered.
"You didn't kill her, the bunny men killed her," I said.
He shook his head, sobbing into my shoulder.
"I killed her," he repeated. "Oh god, I killed her, I killed her."
"You didn't," I denied. "You didn't kill her, they did."
"I just...I just get so mad," he said. "I just imagine them coming for Lily next. Just thinking about her bloody and screaming. I just wanna kill--no, sorry. I just wanna keep her safe. And I wanna keep you and Frankenstein safe too."
"We are safe," I promised. "And in two weeks we'll have another little boy."
Frank sniffled and nodded, kissing my cheek. I grabbed my laptop, searching up any sort of keywords I could think of about them.
"Daddy, I can't find anything about a little girl and her mom being killed," I said.
Frank sobbed, pulling at his hair.
"They fucked me up, Gee," he said. "They fucked me up real bad, I don't know what's real and what's not anymore."
"I think they were just messing with you," I whispered. "I don't think they actually killed them."
"But what if they did and they just covered it up really well so it wasn't in the news?" He asked.
"Daddy, you have to let it go," I said. "What happened happened and I'm sorry about all of it."
Frank nodded. "Th-that's why he told me to tell you. He wanted me to get it all out and over with before the baby is here because babies are a lot of work and being stressed out then when it comes out will only make it worse."
I smiled softly, kissing his cheek.
"It's gonna be okay," I whispered. "You don't have to worry."
We stayed cuddled for a while before I felt a sudden sharp pain. I gasped and Frank looked at me in confusion. My eyes watered as I rested my hand on my stomach when it went away after just a little while.
"I-I think I'm going into labor," I whimpered.
Frank's eyes widened as he got up and paced the floor.
"Fuck, fuck, what do we do?" He asked. "We already planned the c-section date. Fuck, oh fuck."
I watched him panic as the pain subsided.
"Okay, okay, we need to get you to the hospital," he said.
Frank helped me up to my feet then looked over at Lily's room.
"Okay, fuck, can you get to the car?" He asked.
I nodded my head and headed outside. Frank came outside with Lily and he strapped her in. He sped off quickly and I rested a hand on my stomach.
"Dad, can you meet us at the hospital?" Frank asked into his phone. "Gerard's going into labor and I need you to pick up Lily."
He hung up and I hit his shoulder.
"Call Brendon!" I exclaimed.
Lily was crying as he picked up his phone.
"It's okay, Lily," I said. "You don't have to be scared."
"Fuck, Gerard he's...shit, he's going into labor," Frank said.
Frank listened for a little while before he hung up.
"He's got a hotel room right near the hospital," he said. "He'll be waiting with a wheelchair when we get there."
I felt another pain which was worse this time. I cried, gripping onto Frank's hand.
"Fuck, fuck, ow, that hurts," he said. "Just take deep breaths."
The pain went away and I whimpered.
"I can't be in labor," I cried. "They might give me an anesthetic. I-I don't want them to put me to sleep while he's being born."
"Hey, we're both gonna be there and awake when Frankenstein is born," Frank said.
"Sh-should we be timing this?" I asked. "I never planned for a labor."
"Fuck, I don't know," Frank said. "That's what they do in the movies, right?"
I rested my hand on my stomach as we got to the parking lot. We walked in and Brendon hurried over with a wheelchair.
"Frank!" Someone called as we were walking in.
Mr. Iero ran over and Frank handed Lily to him and tossed him his car keys.
"There's a diaper bag in the trunk," he said.
We walked off and got into the elevator as I sobbed.
"Please don't put me to sleep," I begged. "I don't wanna miss it."
"You won't, gee, it's soon enough so that we can just give you a spinal and you'll be fine," Brendon said. "You'll both be able to be there to hear the Frankenstein's first cries."
Frank nodded, letting out a breath of relief.
"Are you really naming your son Frankenstein?" Dr. urie asked.
Frank smiled and nodded as the pain started again. I cried out, squeezing Frank's hand.
"It's okay, Gee, just take deep breaths," Brendon said. "We're gonna go and the nurses are gonna help you get into a gown while me and Frank get into scrubs, okay? And then you know what happens after that, just after that you'll have your child in your arms."
I nodded and thanked the lords that the pain went away. We got to a room and everyone was moving so fast. People in hospitals always move faster than I can even think, I don't know how they do it.
"Stay still," someone said as I sat on the table.
This nurse giving me my spinal wasn't as nice as the one from Lily's birth. I wish I would've gotten the same one, she calmed me down a lot.
"Hey, baby, it's okay," Frank said, holding my hand.
Nurses were all getting ready as the spinal took effect and I couldn't feel anything of my body anymore. They put the screen up and I watched Dr. Urie put on his gloves.
"Oh god," Frank muttered.
I could tell he was nervous, his hand was sweating.
"I love you," I said.
"Oh god, I love you too, baby," he said, giving me a soft kiss.
"Alright, we're starting now," Dr. Urie said.
The nurses were all talking down there but they seemed to be in a whole other world.
"Ten minutes," I whispered. "Ten minutes and Frankenstein will be born."
Frank nodded, his eyes were watering.
"Is it normal to feel sick?" He asked.
"I don't really feel anything," I said.
Frank chuckled softly and nodded. It wasn't as scary this time with frank by my side. And it was like all too soon when I heard a baby cry.
"Oh my god," Frank muttered.
"Wanna cut the cord?" Dr. Urie asked.
Frank nodded and stood up.
"He's so pretty," Frank whispered.
He sat back down in the seat beside my head, holding my hand. They eventually gave us the baby and Frank had tears rolling down his cheeks as he looked down at him.
"Hey there, Miles," Frank said.
"You're not naming him Frankenstein?" Dr. Urie asked.
"Of course not, I don't hate him," Frank said.
"I-I wanna see," I said.
Frank held Miles out for me to see and I smiled. He was wrapped up in his little blanket with his little hat. God, he was so cute.
"Aren't you just the cutest little guy in the whole world," I cooed.
I felt the tiredness like I did with Lily's birth. The mix of panic from the labor and the medication made me kinda drowsy.
"May 24th," Frank whispered to himself. "The day my son is born."
I smiled softly as he kissed Miles' forehead. We had chosen the name a while ago but we've just been calling him Frankenstein just because frank likes to mess with people. So nobody actually knew his name but us.
Miles Eli Iero-Way. We both loved the name Miles, it was the name of the guy in this movie we always used to watch. And we got Eli because it was like a male version of Elena. Lily's middle name is after Frank's grandma, only fair that Miles' middle name is after my grandma too.
"I love you, Miles," Frank whispered. "I'm going to keep you safe for the rest of your life."
