We walked into my mom's house and I smiled.

"Hey, Mikey," I said.

He gave me a hug as the others walked in.

"Hey, where's Frank?" Mr. Iero asked.

The door opened behind me and Frank walked in with Lily on his hip. Mrs. Iero stepped forward and held her arms out. Frank handed our daughter to her and she sighed.

"I'm sorry I ever tried to hurt you, sweetheart," she whispered.

Lily looked at her and started crying, reaching for Frank. He took her back and she buried her face into his shoulder as she hugged him tight.

"New people scare her," I said apologetically.

"It's okay, Frank was like that too when he was little," she said.

"Dinner's almost ready," my mom said.

Frank rubbed Lily's back softly until she calmed down. I sat on the couch next to Mikey and smiled.

"Where's Pete?" I asked. "I thought you were gonna invite him."

"He had to go out of town to visit his parents," he said.

I nodded my head, watching as Frank bounced Lily, making little cooing sounds.

"Kitty!" Lily cheered.

Frank gasped and smiled.

"Oh, you said Kitty!" He exclaimed. "Good job, Lily."

He went to her bag, pulling out her kitten stuffie.

"Here's your kitty, beautiful," he said, sitting down in the big armchair with her on his lap.

I smiled softly at the sight. Frank loves being a dad and he was an amazing at it.

"Dinner's ready," my mom called.

We all sat around the table, mom and Mikey at the heads, Mr. and Mrs. Iero across from me and Frankie and Lily in a high chair beside me.

"So, in the end, they gave me the money anyway," Mr. Iero said, finishing his story.

"Really? Oh, that's great," my mom said.

Frank bit his lip, looking around.

"Gerard's pregnant," he suddenly burst out.

Every just stared for a moment before they burst out cheering. They showered us in hugs and I glanced over at frank, who smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, I couldn't keep it in," he said. "I'm just so excited."

I smiled, kissing his cheek.

"Hear that, Lily?" My mom asked. "You're gonna be a big sister!"

Lily just looked at her for a moment before sticking her hand into her mashed potatoes.

"How far along are you?" My mom asked.

"Three weeks," I said. "We were gonna keep it a secret but someone can't keep their mouth shut."

Frank smiled, a soft blush on his cheeks. He kissed my temple and rubbed my back softly.

"Oh, this is so great," Mr. iero said. "Another little grandchild."

I smiled as I fed Lily since she couldn't use a spoon properly yet, everything usually just ended up on the floor when she tried.

"I love you," Frank whispered, kissing my cheek.

I smiled and held his hand underneath the table. We finished eating both dinner and dessert and we were all stuffed by the time we were done. God, there was so much food.

I walked into the living room and saw Frank had fallen asleep on the couch sitting up, his head tipped back to rest against the back of it. Lily was sitting on his lap and looked up to see him sleeping. She stood up, squeezing her cheeks. She stuck her finger into his open mouth and I chuckled.

"Come here, you," I said, picking Lily up. "Let's let him sleep, he needs it."

I kissed her cheek, setting her on the ground. She went over to Frank again, crying as she tugged on his pants. I sighed as Frank woke up, picking her up. Lily smiled, hugging him as he kissed the top of her head.

I went over to the kitchen, helping to wash dishes. Mikey washed them as I helped to dry.

"Where's Lindsey?" He asked. "I haven't heard from her in a while."

"Oh, she got this promotion at work," I said. "She's been busy lately with that."

"Oh, makes sense," he said.

"How's everything with Pete?" I asked.

"Pete? Oh, he's great," Mikey said. "I love him so much."

I smiled, drying off a plate.

"Are you guys gonna take it to the next level?" I asked. "Are you gonna move in together? You've been dating for a while now."

"I don't know, I hope so," he said. "My apartment would be less lonely with him there."

"And soon you'll be buying a house together and settling down and getting married and adopting kids," I said. "Oh then my kids can be friends with your kids, they'll have cute little play dates with each other."

Mikey laughed, handing me another bowl.

"How's Frank?" He asked.

"He's okay," I shrugged. "I still think he should see a therapist or something, he can just act a little weird sometimes."

"Is he still doing that thing with the gun in Lily's room?" He asked.

"No, thankfully," I said. "But he hardly sleeps, he's so paranoid that something's gonna happen. I mean, it's understandable but he won't talk to anyone about what happened there, not even to me. I just wanna help him feel better."

"Frank went through a lot," he said. "I'm sure he'll talk when he's ready."

I nodded, setting the bowl aside.

"Oh, isn't that so precious?" My mom cooed.

I went over and saw Frank laying down on the couch sleeping. Lily was laying on his chest, also fast asleep. She took a picture and I chuckled.

"Why don't you three just stay the night here," my mom suggested. "I got a little pack n' play playard for Lily to sleep in while she's here since she's a little big for the bassinet now."

I smiled and nodded as she went upstairs.

"We should get going now," Mr. Iero said.

They gave their hugs and Linda kiss Frank's forehead before they left. I picked Lily up and carried her upstairs, setting her down into the playard.

"Frankie," I whispered, shaking his shoulders lightly.

He grumbled quietly, peeking his eyes open.

"Come on, let's go upstairs to sleep," I said.

"D-did I fall asleep?" He asked and I nodded.

Frank sat up and I held his hand, leading him upstairs.

"Come on, let's sleep," I said, taking off my dress as I crawled into bed.

Frank shook his head, looking down at Lily as he smiled softly, reaching down to brush the hair out of her face. I got up, in button his shirt and pushed it off his shoulders.

"Come to bed, you're tired," I said.

I pushed his jeans down and he stepped out of them. I laid on the bed, pulling him down beside me. I rested my head on his chest and he rubbed my back gently.

I woke up to cooing and giggling. I looked over and saw Lily standing up in her playard at the foot of the bed. She bounced slightly, laughing when she saw I was awake.

"Dada!" She cheered.

I looked over and saw Frank still sleeping, completely dead to the world as he snores softly.

"Hey, beautiful," I whispered as I stood up.

Lily held her arms out and I picked her up.

"Good morning, beautiful," I said, kissing her cheek.

I smiled at her messy hair and flushed cheeks.

"Let's go change your diaper, Lily Bear," I said.

I went downstairs and grabbed her diaper bag. I changed her diaper quickly and tossed it into the trash.

"There we go, all better now," I said.

Lily stood up, going towards the stairs.

"Dada!" She exclaimed.

"Nuh-uh, princess, we're letting him sleep," I said.

I picked her up, going to the kitchen. There was a note on the fridge from my mom that said she had gone shopping.

"You want some applesauce?" I asked.

I grabbed a cup of applesauce from the fridge and a baby spoon. I sat her in the high chair, feeding her with the spoon. Lily smiled, eating happily.

"Kitty," she said.

"You can have your kitty after you finish eating," I said.

"Kitty," she repeated.

I kept feeding her, wiping her mouth when she was done. I gave her her kitty and she hugged it. I set her down on the ground and kissed the top of her head.

It wasn't until nearly one in the afternoon that Frank finally woke up. He walked down the stairs and Lily gasped when she saw him.

"Dada!" She exclaimed.

She tried running to him but fell down within the first two steps and just laughed. Frank picked her up, giving her a kiss as he sat on the couch beside me.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked.

"Like a rock," he stated. "I feel like I've been sleeping for years. Is it still Black Friday or is is already Cyber Monday."

I giggled quietly. "It's still Black Friday."

"Good, I wasn't out too long," he said. "And how's my little angel?"

Lily looked up at him and smiled.

"And my little baby boy?" He asked.

"I'm perfect, daddy," I said, kissing his cheek. "Was a little sick earlier but I'm fine now."

"Good," Frank said. "You know, last night I had a dream that your mom moved in with my parents and she gave us this house."

I smiled softly. "I wish we could afford a place like this."

"Our place is pretty small," he said. "And adding another kid will only make it worse."

I bit my lip. Imagine how many people I would have to sleep with to afford a house like this.

"I'm not saying we get anything this size," he said. "Maybe just a three bedroom place, maybe it'll even have two floors. I mean, can we even fit two kids into Lily's room? It's pretty small."

"I don't know, Frankie," I mumbled.

"We'll check a few places out and if they're too expensive then we'll just forget about it, okay?" He suggested.

"Okay," I agreed.

Frank smiled, giving me a kiss.

"I want to make everything perfect for my family," he said. "I don't care if I have to sell all my music stuff just to do it."

I bit my lip, my mind wandering back to how I stopped him from selling his stuff in the first place, by sleeping with other men for money.
