Chapter 19
Orphan Black is such a good show I highly recommend
~~
There was a knock on the door and Frank and I glanced over.
"Hi?" We heard Lily asked.
"No, Lily, you ask 'is anyone there?'" I heard my mom whisper.
"Hi?" Lily repeated.
We laughed softly as the door opened. Lily came running over to Frank and he picked her up, giving her a kiss.
"Dada!" She exclaimed, reaching towards me.
Frank set her down on the bed and she gave me a hug.
"Wove you," she said
I smiled, giving her a kiss.
She was with my mom and Frank's parents, who were all holding gifts and balloons. Lily had on a white shirt that said 'big sister' on it with words all around it, not doubt my mom bought it for her.
"You wanna meet your new baby brother?" I asked and she nodded. "Okay, but you have to sit down first."
Lily sat down next to me and Frank picked Miles up. He handed him to me. Lily laughed and looked at me.
"Wittle," she said.
"Yeah, he's little," I agreed. "That's why you have to be very careful with him, okay?"
Lily nodded and I smiled. She leaned down, kissing Miles' forehead.
"He was born yesterday, Lily," I said.
"He's cute," she said.
"Yeah, he is cute," I agreed. "His name is Miles."
"Miles," she repeated.
"Thank god you didn't actually name him Frankenstein," Mr. Iero said.
"Why would I ever do that?" Frank asked. "I don't want him getting bullied the rest of his life. It's Miles Eli Iero-Way."
"Frank, get in there so I can take a picture," his dad said.
Frank came over to stand beside the bed as we smiled and he snapped a picture.
"Is that gonna be our next Christmas present?" Frank guessed.
"Well fine, I guess you don't want it," Mr. Iero said.
"No, no, I want it," Frank said with a chuckle.
I smiled as Lily touched Miles' cheek gently.
"Lily, do you wanna give your dad your gift?" My mom asked.
Lily nodded and she handed her a piece of paper. She held it up and if was mostly scribbles but you could see two people, one with bright red hair, and two little kids.
"It's beautiful, Lily," I said, kissing her forehead.
Miles started crying and Lily covered her ears.
"No, don't like," she said.
I chuckled, looking over at Frank.
"He's hungry, can I have a bottle?" I asked.
Frank nodded, grabbing a warmed up bottle. I fed Miles and Lily watched in interest.
"How are you feeling?" My mom asked.
"Better, the medicine helps," I said. "But I've been through this before, it isn't as scary this time."
She smiled, kissing my cheek.
"We don't wanna be in your hair," Frank Sr. said. "We should get going."
He went to reach for Lily and she started crying.
"She can stay here," I said. "We'll call you later to pick her up."
They nodded, leaving the balloons and flowers behind as they left. Miles was a slow eater, I've learned that. He took his time eating as I glanced over at frank.
"Oh my god, you have a show tonight," I said.
"It's okay, we can cancel it," he said. "I didn't know my son was going to be born yesterday."
"Don't cancel," I said. "I can stay here for a little while. Just have them maybe push the concert a little earlier."
"I don't know, I don't want to leave you here alone," Frank said. "The fans will understand. Let me call Evan."
He pulled out his phone, sitting down in the armchair.
"Hey, Evan, we have to cancel the show tonight," Frank said. "Yeah, Gerard went into labor yesterday and my son was born...thank you, I'll give him your congrats...you want to visit?"
Frank looked over at me for approval and I nodded.
"Yeah, definitely," Frank said. "I'll see you later, man."
Frank hung up and smiled at me, coming over to kiss my cheek.
"My beautiful family," he muttered.
I looked down at Miles and saw Miles was falling asleep. I went to pull the bottle away but Miles started drinking again.
"He takes so long to eat," I complained. "I have to pee."
"I'll take him," Frank offered.
He took Miles and sat down in the chair. I got up and Lily whined lifting her arms up.
"I'm sorry, baby, i can't lift you up," I said.
Frank cradled Miles with one arm, wrapping his other arm around Lily as he set her on the ground. I watched as she ran to the window, pressing her face against it as she looked out.
I hobbled off to the bathroom and used the toilet, washing my hands. I groaned, getting back into the bed as Frank frowned.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, i just had surgery, it's gonna take 6 weeks to be fully recovered," I said.
"Tell me if you want me to get a nurse," he said and I nodded.
Miles finally finished his bottle about twenty minutes later. Frank set him into his crib and sighed.
"Should we announce it to twitter?" Frank asked.
"It'll explain why the concert is canceled so people will understand," I said.
Frank nodded, pulling out his phone.
"They're telling me to give you their congratulations," he said.
I smiled, running a hand through my hair as I yawned.
"Get some rest," he said. "Me and Miles and Lily Bear are gonna have a party, isn't that right, Lily?"
We looked over and saw she was licking the window.
"Lily, no," Frank scolded.
She looked over and her eyes watered.
"Don't lick the window, it's dirty," Frank said.
Lily nodded, looking back out the window.
"Get some rest, beautiful," he said softly, coming over to kiss my forehead
I fell asleep but was woken up a little while later by the door opening.
"Hey, Evan," Frank said.
I yawned, rubbing my eyes as Evan came into view. Lily went over and reached up to hold his hand, pulling him to the other side of the room. She stopped next to the crib and pointed at it.
"Miles," she said.
Evan chuckled, looking into the crib. He picked Lily up so she could see too.
"Miles," she repeated, pointing at her brother.
"Yeah, it's Miles," Evan said.
He set her down and looked over.
"You doing okay?" Evan asked. "I can run out and grab some fast food for you guys for dinner so that way you don't have to eat this hospital food."
"Gee is unfortunately still stuck on a diet but I think Lily would love some McNuggets," Frank said. "Thank you so much."
Frank gave him some money and he left. The nurse came in and checked me quickly.
"Hey there, cutie," the nurse said, bending down to Lily's height.
Lily hid behind Frank's leg and she chuckled.
"You want a lollipop, sweetheart?" The nurse asked
Lily nodded and handed her a little sucker before walking out. She looked at it in her hand before looking at Frank for approval.
"You can have it after dinner," he said.
Lily nodded, going to her diaper back. She pulled out a toy car and made it drive along the wall.
"Good girl," he said, kissing the top of her head.
Miles started crying and I held my arms out. Frank handed him to me and I rocking him softly.
"Why he sad?" Lily asked.
"I think he's just scared, sweetheart," Frank said.
"Why?" Lily asked.
"Because he's in a new place and he doesn't know anything," Frank said. "He's so little and the world is so big. He's just scared of everything."
"Kiss?" She asked.
"You wanna give him a kiss?" Frank asked and she nodded.
He lifted her up to sit beside me and she gave Miles a kiss.
"Wove you, Miles," she whispered.
Lily pulled at his little mittens but I stopped her.
"He has to keep those on," I said.
"Why?" She asked. "Too hot."
"Because his little fingernails are sharp," I said. "We don't want him to hurt himself."
"Hot," she repeated.
"No, he isn't too hot, sweetheart, he's fine," I said.
"You hot?" Lily asked Miles.
"He can't talk yet, baby," I said.
"Why?" She asked.
Oh, that was probably her favorite word.
"Because he needs to get bigger before he can talk," I said.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because he's too little right now and he has to learn it," I said.
The door opened and I smelled food.
"Evan!" Lily cheered.
He gave us food but didn't stay too long. The nurse brought home my dinner too.
"Here, Miles," Lily said.
She tried to feed him a chicken nugget.
"He can't eat those yet, he has to be bigger," I said. "He can only drink from his bottle for now."
Lily ate happily and soon enough my mom came back.
"Hey, sweetheart, did you have fun?" She asked Lily.
Lily nodded and she picked her up.
"It's your bedtime now, little cutie," my mom said. "Let's get you back to grandma's house."
Lily cried, reaching back towards us.
"You're gonna see them tomorrow," my mom said.
"Wh-when's dat?" Lily asked.
"It's soon," she said. "You're gonna go to sleep and when you wake up you'll be able to see them again, okay?"
Lily nodded, resting her head on my mom's shoulder.
"I love you, sweetheart," Frank said, kissing her cheek.
They walked out and Frank came over. He took the sleeping Miles from my arms, putting him over in his crib.
"You just need to get some rest, baby boy," Frank said.
"I don't wanna sleep," I muttered.
"I'll stay up and I'll watch Miles," he said.
"Are you sure?" I asked. "I can stay up for a little bit while you sleep."
"No, you need to rest in order to heal," Frank said. "Good night, beautiful, I love you."
Frank gave me a soft kiss and I smiled.
"I love you too, daddy," I whispered. "I'm glad you're here with me this time."
"I'm glad too," he mumbled.
Frank gave me another kiss before holding my hand until I fell asleep.
