Amelia’s POV
Throwing the cover back I groaned as the cold air hit my warm body. Sitting up slowly and rubbing my stomach lovingly. I smiled as the baby kicked me softly and looked out of the window that was just across from my bed. Sliding off the bed, I stood by the window and looked out at the street below. I liked the view for my bedroom at Opals house better.
“Why am I moving in here?”
I continued staring out the window and rubbing my stomach, letting a small tear slide down my cheek and splash onto my t-shirt. Exhaling loudly I moved away from the window, round the bottom of the bed and out of the room.
I heard Anna singing in the kitchen as I moved down the hall. I could smell pancakes.
“Morning Am” She smiled not looking round at me as the kitchen was a bomb site, she used ever available surface and that she had flour everywhere
“I use to be able to sneak up on you” I smiled, sitting down at the small table
“You’re a little big to be doing that” She giggled, turning away from the cooker
“Mmm” I mumbled, sniffing at the cookies on the table “Did you make these?” I asked
“Yeah, this morning” She said turning back to the cooker “I seem to have picked up Gerard’s sleeping patterns”
“He’s up to all hours of the night, I use to think that he was a vampire as a kid” I smiled “Mikey actually convinced me he was and I wore a cross for months whenever he was around” I laughed
“It’s amazing what kids believe” Anna remarked
“Do you have syrup to go with your pancakes?”
“Yeah, I went out this morning and bought some”
“Good. Mmm…Anna these pancakes are awesome” I moaned finally biting into the pancake Anna had put down on a plate in front of me
“I added extra chocolate, just for you”
“The baby thanks you too”
“When is momma Way coming to see you?” Anna asked changing the subject
“I’m actually going to visit her once the baby’s born so I’ll probably be coming back to Jersey with you”
“Good, Jersey misses you” She laughed, putting some more pancakes onto a plate
“Make mine a big stack” I smiled, holding my plate out for more pancakes, pulling my chair in as far as my stomach would let me
Frank’s POV
Waking up in Amelia’s bed I could smell her on the pillows as the sun filtered threw the curtains and flittered across my naked torso, scrunching my eyes closed trying to savour the best sleep I’d had in months. Groaning I gave up my fight with the sun and reluctantly opened my eyes to the room I was sleeping in.
Sitting up in bed I looked around the room at all the boxes and wondered where my best friend had gone. She hadn’t even hinted at being pregnant or even seeing anyone to be getting pregnant. Running my fingers threw my hair, sighing loudly and laying back down onto the soft pillows on Amelia’s bed breathing in the smell of her.
“Frank?” You awake?” I heard Gerard speak threw the door
“Uh-huh, I’m awake” I answered turning on my side to face the door
“Opal, wanted me to bring you some tea” He smiled as he swung open the door, holding the cup aloof
“Does it have sugar?” I ask sliding up in the bed feeling the cold air against my skin for the first time
“Yeah, I put them in before I came up” He smiled, handing me the cup and leaning against the wardrobe
“What’s up?” I questioned taking a slow sip from the cup
“Just wanted to know how you’re feeling”
“Okay, I suppose…feeling a little sick”
“Sick?”
“Yeah, at the prospect of talking to Amelia” I nodded placing the cup on the bedside table
“She’s still at her apartment” Gerard explains “She’s going to be out there most of the day unpacking”
“I think I’m going to get dressed and take a drive over” I smile slightly
“You want some company?”
“I think this is something that I should do on my own”
“Are you sure Anna’s going to be there” He asked shifting his position as little
“I’m sure Anna wants to see us together as much as you do, I’ll be fine” I laugh as he blushes
“Well I’m going to go and see what the other guys are up to and leave you alone to your thoughts” Gerard smiled leaning off the closet and opening the door behind him
“I’ll need the car keys”
“They’ll be down on the table near the door” Gerard replied as the door closed slowly
Finishing the tea, I put the empty cup on the bedside table and got out of bed to look around the room that I left the lights off on the night before because I couldn’t bare the site of anything Amelia had left behind in the room. Smiling faintly at the pictures that she’d forgotten to take down and pack away, standing staring at the wall remembering the exact events that was captured in every picture.
Grabbing my t-shirt and jeans off the floor, I looked around the room again and felt a little better about the situation with my best friend, I’d let her explain, try not to get angry and try to make an effort with her new boyfriend.
“I’m leaving now” I called as I got to the bottom landing, getting calls from the kitchen that everyone had heard me
Lifting the keys and swinging them around my finger, clicking the button to disarm the alarm and unlock the doors. Sitting behind the wheel steadying my shaking hands and breathing in deeply to help my shattered nerves.
“Okay Frank time to visit Amelia” I whispered into the empty space willing myself to put the key in the ignition but still I sat there waiting for something to happen
Staring straight ahead of me at the steering wheel, breathing in deeply again and looked up slowly to see Gerard and Mikey staring at me from the porch. Waving my hand weakly, I sighed and put the key in the ignition and turning it to start the car.
Putting the van into park around the corner from Amelia’s apartment, breathing in deeply as I took the keys out of the ignition and placed them in my hoodie pocket. A slow rhythmic rap on the window startled me; glancing around at the window I hoped it wasn’t a crazy person. Anna’s smiling face came into view making me smile but frown at the same time; she made a motion to wind the window down.
“Hey” She finally said as I rolled the window down
“How did you know I was parked here?” I asked
“Gerard told me you were coming and I knew you wouldn’t park to far away”
“Okay. Where are you going?”
“Going back to Opal’s to get Amelia some clothes and some more boxes” She explained holding up a list of things to get for Amelia
“So, I’m going to be all alone with her?”
“Yup, she doesn’t know your coming so here” She held out the hand that held Amelia’s apartment keys
“Thanks” I said taking the keys from her
“Honestly Frank get out the van, get your butt up there and talk to her” Anna said frowning at me slightly
“I’m getting out now” I smiled, opening the door slightly and stepping out
“I’ll see you later” Anna finally said as I locked the van
“Bye Anna”
Amelia’s P.O.V
Sitting on the living room couch I was slowly unpacking a box of books that someone had placed next to the coffee table, smiling as I finally lifted the cream covered book that had baby book embossed onto the front book. Smoothing my fingers over the letter and opening it to the front page with my details on it.
The door opening and closing made me cast my eyes toward the hallway and giggle softly
“I can’t believe you forgot something Anna”
I frowned slowly when she didn’t answer me and didn’t come into the living room to laugh at whatever she’d forgotten. Placing the baby book on the coffee table in front of me I pushed myself up from the couch with some difficulty and moved across the space to the small flight of stairs.
“Hey Amelia” Frank waved slowly standing in my hallway with his grey hoodie pulled around his head
“I…erm…” I stuttered standing there staring at him
He just stood there staring back at me both of us shocked into silence as it stretched out over us we both looked nervously at each other.
“Amelia, look I’m sorry about yesterday” He started moving slightly towards me making me move backwards away from him
“Frank” I mumbled my hands covering my stomach
“I just wanted to apologise because I can’t stand us being mad at each other and I’m just sorry I reacted the way I did”
“I…erm…I’m sorry to Frank” I mumbled going back down the small living room steps
“No, Am I understand how difficult it must have been to keep this from me”
“Frank, you don’t” I sighed looking up at his gorgeous hazels eyes and sitting down slowly onto the couch again
“Amelia” He smiled sitting down next to me “I didn’t think I could say this after being so angry with you yesterday but I’m really happy that everything’s worked out for you here – in Vancouver” He explained taking hold of my hands that were still resting over stomach
“Frank” I smiled feeling as though a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders “I’m sorry you had to find out this way and I wished you’d found out sooner there has been so much I’ve wanted to tell you”
“Well I’m here now” He smiled pulling me into a hug that was a little awkward because of my bump
“I’m so glad you are” I whispered into his neck hugging him and close as possible missing this feeling with him, holding onto him as if he was my life line
“Is that your baby book?” Frank asked looking over my shoulder at the coffee table
“Yes, I was just putting it away on the bookshelf” I smiled, letting go to grab the book
“Can I look at it?” He asked staring at the book in my hands
“Yes, of course you can” I handed it to him slowly
Watching as he opened the first page reading my name and details. His face turning into a grimace as he read the page titled morning sickness
“The book has a bit for the father as well” I smiled “It’s not been filled in yet” I explained making him look up at me
“Has the dad not had time?” He asked flicking threw the pages to the dad section of the book
“Erm...not really” I frowned not really understanding the question
“The dad should be involved in everything” He continued turning the empty pages
“He definitely should” I agreed rubbing his tattooed arm
“Where is the dad?” He asked still reading the book
“He’s right here” I smiled rubbing his arm again
“Is he in the bedroom, I’d love to meet him” He smiled closing the book and getting up from the couch
“Frank, I don’t think you understand” I said grabbing his arm
“The father of the baby Am is he in the apartment” He said looking down at me
“Yes” I replied slowly “but he’s in the room with me” I said tilting my head to the side
Frank stopped his trek across the living room, looking back at me confused and turned very slowly back toward me. As he looked me over I sat very still looking back at him trying to stop the butterflies in my stomach. He continued staring at me eyebrow raised still trying to work out what I’d just said.
“I thought that’s why you were so angry yesterday” I mumbled finally finding his stare too much to take and looking down at my hands
“Are you saying…that I’m the father?” He asked falling into a chair on the far side of the room
“Yes” I nodded daring to look up at him
Frank was looking straight ahead of him staring into space, blinking slowly and opening his mouth but closing it again.
“Do you want a drink?” I asked trying to get away from the tension, he nodded over enthusiastically
Standing in the kitchen doorway and looking back at Frank staring into space, feeling slightly dazed myself, lifting a glass from the sink and turning on the cold water. Breathing in deeply and trying to concentrate on the running water instead of the man standing in the other room. Filling the glass up and drinking the whole glass down in one before filling it again and taking it threw to Frank who was standing by the window.
“Here’s your water” I offered stopping behind him
“Thank you” He said still facing the window
“Frank, I honest thought you knew” I offered still holding the cold glass
“Nope, didn’t have a clue” He murmured turning slightly towards me but not so that I could see his face fully
“I don’t think sorry covers this” I offered trying to make light of the situation
“I don’t think it does” He murmured again, lifelessly
Another awkward silence filled the room and both of us just stood there. My cell phone ringing in the bedroom drew my attention.
“Emmm…I better get that” I said leaving the room again and walking slowly into the bedroom. Lifting the cell phone off my bedside table once I’d made it there.
“Hello” I breathed slowly
“Hey Amelia”
“What’s up Gee?” I asked frustrated that he’d called
“I was just phoning to make sure you were alright” He smiled
“No I’m not alright” I hissed down the receiver “He’s in the living room standing by my window and I can hardly get him to talk to me”
“What? I thought he knew”
“So did I” I sighed running my hands threw my hair
“Was that not why he was angry at you?”
“Well obviously not” I mumbled “Look Gerard I’m going to go and see if I can fix this mess”
“Good luck Amelia” Gerard said before I hung up the phone
Pressing the phone to my chest and standing in the middle of the room breathing in and out slowly.
“Was that Gerard?” Frank asked from the doorway making me jump slightly
“Erm…yeah, he was just calling to ask if Anna was here” I smiled nervously
“Why didn’t he call her cell?”
“Something about out of range” I mumbled sitting down on the edge of the bed
“Oh Amelia, I don’t understand why you waited until all of this hit the fan to tell me the truth” He sighed leaning against the door frame
“I never meant to hurt you, Frankie” I whispered rubbing the bump slowly
“It hurt more thinking that you were with someone else” He mumbled walking into the room and stopping before me as I stared at his feet “Are you with someone else?” He asked his hands twisting together
“No, I’m not with anyone” I mumbled
“I told your brother that I love you” He mentioned sitting down next to me
“And do you?” I asked turning my head to look at him but seeing his face only made me look back down at my hands
“I think I still do, I just don’t think the trust is there anymore” He sighed, sitting further back on the bed slightly making himself more comfortable
“I can understand that” I whispered twisting the small silver ring I worn on my finger around and around trying to distract myself
“I’m just going to need some time to get use to this” Frank whispered back at me, shifting uncomfortably
“I can understand that” I repeated, placing my hands back over my bump
“I’m…erm…going to go back to Opal’s for a while. Can I come back tomorrow?”
“Erm….sure” I answered lamely looking over my shoulder at him
“I’ll…erm…see you tomorrow then” He replied sliding off the bed and standing in front of me
“Bye” I said looking down at my hands
“Bye” He said leaving the room
I listening to Frank move back out of the apartment and letting the door click shut. Flopping back onto the bed softly making sure I don’t hurt myself or the baby, sighing loudly into the empty room making the noise sound louder than it was. My cell phone ringing again pulled me out of the self pity for a second to answer it.
“What?” I answered, feeling like I could punch the person on the phone
“What’s wrong, Am?” Gerard asked me on the other end
“Nothing” I growled “I’m sure Frank will tell you once he gets back to Opal’s” I scoff clearly directing my anger toward him instead of Frank
“He’s coming back here?”
“Yes” I muttered threw gritted teeth
“I’ll send Anna back to the apartment” Gerard quickly said while I heard rustling in the background
“Gerard, I want to be alone” I told him before Anna came on the phone
“Amelia, its Anna. I’m coming back to the apartment”
“No, Anna, I want to be alone tonight” I repeated, as I hear her put her jacket on
“You shouldn’t be alone Am’s” She said as I heard Gerard speak to her in the background
“But I want to be, I’m just going to go to bed anyway I’m emotionally tired from today” I explained yawning for effect
“Are you 100% sure?” Anna asked sighing as Gerard talks to her
“I’m 100% sure, Anna” I smiled, loving someone was so concerned about me
“I love you, Amelia” Anna said “I’ll come by tomorrow with some more of your stuff” She continued
“I love you too, Anna” I replied “I’ll speak to you tomorrow” I sighed
“Goodnight Amelia” She finally said
“Night Anna” I said talking the phone away from my ear and hanging up
Placing the phone onto the bedside table, I sighed loudly again and lifted the cover to get under
Lying in the semi dark room, staring at the ceiling and remembering Frank’s face when the penny finally dropped. Watching the lights move across the ceiling, I placed both hands on my stomach, I was dreading seeing Frank tomorrow and wondering what he was going to say.
Throwing the cover back I groaned as the cold air hit my warm body. Sitting up slowly and rubbing my stomach lovingly. I smiled as the baby kicked me softly and looked out of the window that was just across from my bed. Sliding off the bed, I stood by the window and looked out at the street below.

“I love you, Amelia” Anna said “I’ll come by tomorrow with some more of your stuff” She continued
“I love you too, Anna” I replied “I’ll speak to you tomorrow” I sighed
“Goodnight Amelia” She finally said
“Night Anna” I said talking the phone away from my ear and hanging up
Placing the phone onto the bedside table, I sighed loudly again and lifted the cover to get under
Lying in the semi dark room, staring at the ceiling and remembering Frank’s face when the penny finally dropped. Watching the lights move across the ceiling, I placed both hands on my stomach, I was dreading seeing Frank tomorrow and wondering what he was going to say.
