Last chapter

I'll take and ear to feed the pigs
I'll drain them all to get my fix
A hooker's scream heard around the world
My sharpened knife begs to explore

The N.Y.P.D. ain't got shit on me
I'll carve them all with a flick of my wrist
You'll never find a fucking fingerprint
I'll run this world, I'll lie and steal
None can match my scalpel skill

I set Lily down into the warm, soapy water in the sink. She laughed, splashing softly as she looked up at me.

"We're gonna go see daddy today," I said. "And we're gonna get you cleaned up and get you dressed into a cute little outfit. He's gonna love you so much."

The door opened and I looked over at Lindsey.

"Hey," she said softly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She was so happy before.

"I found out who called in to tell the police where Frank was," she said. "It was Jamia. She never stopped looking and she finally found him."

I gasped excitedly. "We should invite her over for dinner once Frank comes home. I don't think she's met Lily either. It'll be so perfect."

"Gee, she's dead," Lindsey whispered.

My hands stopped in the middle of washing Lily.

"Her brother found her this morning," she said. "Someone shot her with a sniper sometime this weekend."

My eyes watered as I shook my head.

"She gave her life so you could have your family back," Lindsey said.

I cried quietly, running soap into Lily's hair.

"Don't cry, Gee, Jamia's a hero," she said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"M-maybe later this week I can go over and apologize or something, I feel like this is all my fault," I said.

"It isn't your fault, Gee," she mumbled. "She was the one who chose to keep looking even though she knew what would happen."

I nodded softly as, watching as Lily pushed the rubber ducky around the sink. She laughed, kicking her feet as I helped to keep her sat upright.

"I can't stay but I thought I should just come by to tell you that," she said.

I nodded and she kissed my cheek before leaving. I rinsed off the soap suds and picked her up, wrapping her in a towel. I dried her off and got her dressed a pastel pink body suit that had a ruffled collar, a white skirt and thick white tights.

"Daddy is gonna think you're so cute," I said, giving her a kiss.

I got dressed into a long sleeve maroon colored dress with white over-the-knee socks and beige ankle boots. I got her into her car seat and she smiled happily. She loves car rides.

"I love you, baby," I said, kissing her forehead.

My heart was racing and my palms were all sweaty as I drove to the hospital. I was actually thinking I might throw up.

I saw Pete in the lobby, talking on the phone. He was probably just talking to or is going to talk to Frank.

"Alright, bye, Patrick, I love you," he said.

At least, that's what I thought he said, maybe I got it wrong. He probably just said Mikey.

"I'm here to see Frank Iero," I said to the lady at the big desk when I walked in, holding Lily's car seat in one hand and her diaper bag over my shoulder.

"Yes, he's in room 478," she said.

I smiled and went to the elevator. I thought my heart was about to fall out of my chest. I was so nervous and excited at the same time, I'm not sure if I'm going to cry or throw up. Maybe I'll just do both.

"Are you excited, Lily?" I asked.

I looked down and saw she was asleep. My legs felt weak as I went to the room and opened the door slowly. Frank was sleeping when I stepped in and I set Lily down next to the chair, taking off my jacket and setting it on the chair. Look at this, both my two favorite people in the world was sleeping and I was about to lose my fucking mind.

I went over and held onto Frank's hand. He was chubby and his hair and beard was grown out. There were cuts and bruises on his face and a dark, awful bruise around his neck. I couldn't see below his neck because of his hospital gown but I'm sure it only got worse from there.

"Frankie?" I asked softly.

He muttered something before his eyes slowly peeked open.

"Baby boy," he whispered.

I couldn't help it, i broke down sobbing. I fell to my knees and rested my arms on the mattress, burying my face into my arms.

"I missed you so much," I cried. "And now you're going to hate me."

"I love you, baby," he croaked, still waking up.

"You won't," I denied. "I did so many bad things, you'll never love me again."

I felt his fingers run through my hair and I sniffled.

"I slept with people for money," I whispered. "I-I became a stripper. We had no money, I couldn't get a job, I was desperate, they tried to take our house away."

His hands froze for a moment before it started moving again.

"I love you, baby," he repeated. "Nothing will ever change that."

I sniffled and looked up at him.

"Y-you don't hate me?" I asked.

"I did some stuff I'm not proud of either," Frank muttered.

"Like what?" I asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," he said. "I just want to put that in the past and move on with our lives."

I stood up and leaned over to give him a kiss. It was so amazing I thought I was gonna start crying again.

"I love you so much," I whispered, resting my forehead against his.

"I love you too," he repeated. "Wh-where's my baby?"

I smiled and went over to her car seat, where she was still sleeping peacefully. I set her blanket on the chair and unbuckled her as she woke up.

"Did you have a nice nap, sweetheart?" I asked as I picked her up.

I kissed her cheek and she smiled.

"Oh my god, she's so beautiful," Frank whispered.

I looked over and saw him crying as he looked at Lily. I walked back over and he had this huge smile on his face.

"Look, baby, it's your dad," I said.

"C-can I hold her?" Frank asked.

I nodded and handed Lily to him. She looked at Frank for a moment before she immediately burst into tears. Her arms reached towards me and Frank looked panicked.

"Sh-she's probably just hungry," I said.

I picked her back up and her crying stopped instantly, which made Frank look hurt.

"I'm sorry, she gets nervous around new people," I mumbled.

That only made him look more hurt.

"Or maybe it's just because you have a beard, I don't think she's met anyone with a beard before," I said and I saw him crack a smile. "You can feed her, she probably won't cry if you're giving her food."

I went over and grabbed her bottle, handing her to him as she cried.

"It's okay, sweetheart, I know I probably look scary now," he said. "I'll shave soon and I'll look better."

"I can bring your razor and some shampoo next time I come," I said.

Frank smiled and nodded, trying to calm Lily as I tested her bottle to make sure it was still warm.

"She loves you, by the way," I said. "She loves your music, it usually helps to stop her crying."

I handed Frank the bottle and Lily quickly stopped crying when she got food. I sat beside him on the bed and he smiled.

"What's her name?" Frank asked.

"Lily Angelina," I said.

"It's beautiful," he whispered. "I know Angelina is from my grandma, but where'd you get Lily from?"

"It was the flower you gave me the day you proposed to me," I said.

"God, I love you both so much," he said. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," I said, resting my head on his shoulder. "I wish you were here."

"I'm devastated that I missed the whole pregnancy and birth," he said. "I wanted to be there so badly. A-are you able to have another?"

"It made my tummy all ugly," I said.

"Your tummy is not ugly," he denied. "You have the most beautiful tummy in the whole world."

I blushed, leaning over to give him a kiss.

"But Brendon says that I would be able to get pregnant again," I stated. "It'll be hard but I can. But if not then maybe we can always adopt."

"Who's Brendon?" He asked.

"Oh, Dr. Urie, he's my obstetrician," I said. "He got his boyfriend pregnant in high school. He's really nice, I'm sure you would really like him."

"I hope he took care of you and my daughter," Frank said.

"He did," I said. "He really helped keep me calm when I got all freaked out about the baby."

Frank nodded, looking down at Lily.

"I wouldn't mind adoption," he said quietly. "It's just...you know, I want to experience an actual child of mine being born. I wanna be there. Who was there?"

"Lindsey and Mikey," I said. "They helped me a lot too."

"Tell them to come with you tomorrow," He said. "I want to thank them for keeping both my babies safe."

I giggled quietly as Lily finished up her bottle.

"I missed you so much," I whimpered. "It was so hard. They always sent me such awful things. They sent me your finger inside a stuffed rabbit."

"I'm sorry, baby," he said. "Reminds me, on that table is the stuff I had with me. The kitten and the booties."

I smiled as Lily reached up, tugging lightly on his beard. At least she was comfortable with him now. Frank sat her up but she just fell over.

"She can't sit up on her own yet," I said.

He brought his knees up, letting her rest back against his legs.

"Hey there, beautiful," he said. "I'm so glad I can finally meet you. God, you're so pretty."

"She loves peek-a-boo," I said, going to grab her blanket before coming back.

I put the blanket over Lily's head and pulled it off after a moment.

"Peek-a-boo!" Frank cheered.

Lily laughed and reached for the blanket.

"She wants you to do it again," I said.

Frank did it again and Lily pulled it off. She shrieked with laughter and Frank's eyes filled with tears.

"It's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard," he said.

He did it again and Lily almost fell over but Frank reached forward to keep her steady.

"She's so little," he whispered. "I love her."

I smiled, holding his hand.

"We can finally be a family again," I said. "I know who found you, she was a private detective I hired. She was killed by the bunny men when she found you."

Frank squeezed my hand softly.

"I was thinking that maybe we can go over to her family because I want to apologize," I said.

"I think that sounds like a great idea," he agreed.

The door opened and I looked over at Pete.

"Good to see you back home again," he said.

Frank smiled, cradling Lily in his arms as he put his legs back down.

"Thank you," frank said.

"And congratulations on your baby," Pete said. "we'll leave you alone right now but we'll be back to question you later, just as a heads up."

Pete held his hand out and Frank shook it. He stared at him for a moment before pulling away. Pete left and I frowned in confusion.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Nothing, I just thought I've seen his tattoo before," he said. "I must've just been imagining it."

I nodded, kissing his cheek as Lily again reached up for Frank's beard.

"Wait, she was killed after I was found?" He asked.

"Yeah, her brother found her," I said. "I feel so bad for him."

"But she was killed after I was found," he repeated.

I stared at him in confusion.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Frank sighed, running a hand down his face. "If she was killed after I was found, that means there's still more bunny men out there."
