Bug Hewson was stood amongst a sea of family members and their significant others as well as a few friends, behind and beside her was her boyfriend Carlos O'Connell, his daughter Vega, Bug's son Patrick and the entirety of Fontaines D.C.

Elijah Hewson made sure that everyone in attendance knew that it was his birthday. He was always so insufferable about his birthday, That has always irritated Bug.

Bobby Skeetz was sat next to his best friend, smoking a cigarette as he watched Grace Burns and Eve Hewson carry gifts over.

"Bug, you gonna give Eli yours now?" Jordan asked her youngest sister. Bug nodded, and walked over with her son on her hip.

Bobby wasn't focusing, that was until the girl he had slept with two years ago walked up. "Rob, this is our sister Bug, Bug this is Robert." Jordan told Bobby, forcing him to hold his hand out, Bug shook it awkwardly. He could've sworn her name was Eliza, and he couldn't see a flicker of recognition in her eyes.

"Give Uncle Lijah his present." Bug told Patrick as she had him stand down on the floor, the boy wobbled slightly before handing the gift back to his uncle. Bobby was frozen, the girl he'd slept with two years ago had a kid? He had forgotten he was still holding Bug's hand.

"Thank you Pad." Eli said gratefully, Paddy grinned and began to chew on his uncles jeans. Grace quickly grabs him gently off. "His jeans don't taste nice Pad." Grace told the toddler who nodded in agreement. "Why don't you go back to your daddy?" Grace asked, Patrick nodded and toddled away, Bobby watched every step the toddler made, and watched as the toddler arrived at Carlos O'Connell's side.

"What the fuck." Bobby mumbled. The baby didn't look like Carlos at all, but maybe he was being crazy, maybe the baby was Carlos' and just looked a lot like Eliza.

Her name wasn't Eliza, he needed to remember that, she had changed, her bright red hair was gone, in its place a light brown.

Bug unhooked her hand from Bobby's, turning the corner and walking right back to Carlos and Patrick. "Patrick Rain Hewson stop trying to eat dirt." Bug said sternly. Vega made a gagging noise and Patrick looked up at Carlos, a bunch of grass in his hand.

"Yuck." Vega giggled.  "Papa say no." Vega said as she looked up at her father, expecting him to discipline Patrick.

"Come on, deja la hierba." Carlos told Patrick, he always seemed to take discipline more seriously in Spanish. Vega grinned, enjoying seeing her younger stepbrother get into trouble.

"Bug love, you kept all this quiet, been busy i suppose?" Morleigh Steinberg said, pointing at Carlos and the two toddlers.

"Patrick's mine, Vega is my boyfriends." She told the woman.

"He looks... mature." Morleigh commented, Bug nodded. "He's thirty, so he's hardly going to look babyfaced."

Morleigh's jaw dropped, she turned to Alison Hewson. "Did you know this?" Morleigh questioned, Alison nodded. "We met at Patrick's first birthday party." Alison nodded.

"Anything else you'd like the point out? Besides the obvious that is?" Bug asked Morleigh, Morleigh looked quite shocked.

"Bug—" Alison began, Bug just shook her head. "No Mammy, she's being rude." Bug said.

That evening, Bobby went back to his place, drunk and drowning in his sorrows with a bottle of whiskey Eli had gotten and given to him.

Bobby opened twitter, and searched the word Bug Hewson.

Bobby read the replies to the tweet, one asking 'Who are they?' And the original tweet replying 'Bug Hewson and Carlos O'Connell'

He accidentally liked the tweet, but hadn't noticed
He scrolled some more, passing by news articles about Bug's latest Instagram posts

Bobby rolled his eyes, and carried on scrolling. He couldn't deny that she looked fucking beautiful in the photos they'd used.

Once again, Bobby saw people asking who the two people in the pictures were, it annoyed Bobby, seeing Carlos be bit by the woman he had written two songs about on Cuts and Bruises.

Bobby's eyebrows furrowed, first as he inspected the profile picture, and then as he read the tweet itself.

Bobby rolled his eyes, what a stupid fucking idea. He sighed and shut his phone off, turning over shutting his eyes in the hopes of getting some sleep.
