Chapter Thirteen
Meredith tried to readjust her sitting position on their couch. Ana was going to be dropping off Everett and Sammi before she and Cal went away for a few days. Though she loved her niece and nephew, she was in no mood to be watching them. Her back hurt and the twins were constantly moving, they kept her up so much at night now.
And on top of that she was having hot flashes.
She was also feeling fatigued and had headaches constantly, along with her feet always seeming to be swelling every time she was on them.
The doorbell rang and she struggled to get up. “Gee!” She whined, slouching back into the couch.
He came running out in a pair of loose jeans, a navy shirt in hand. He quickly threw it on and unlocked their front door. “Ana! Hey kids, you guys all ready for four days with us?” He asked, crouching down to see eye-to-eye with them.
Everett and Sammi exchanged glances and nodded, running into the house and squealing.
Ana smiled, her face tired and aged. “Thanks, guys. I can’t believe we had to miss going away on our honeymoon. But we’re getting away for a few days now.” Her eyes traveled to her sister’s bulging form on the couch. “Oh, Mare! You’re as big as a house!” She exclaimed, bending down to hug her younger sister.
Meredith smiled wryly. “Thanks, An.”
“It’s a good thing, you’re carrying twins after all. Hey, I’ll talk to you later, alright? Love you, both of you.” She smiled, hugging both of them and then going to find her children. After exchanging kisses and hugs, she left with a wave.
“Alright guys, who’s ready for a call from the tickle monster!” Gerard shouted, crouching low and chasing after Everett and Sammi who began laughing and yelling, looking for cover.
Oh it was going to be a long four days.

Meredith gently rolled out of bed, deciding it was time to put Everett and Sammi to bed. She waddled down the hallway towards the second guestroom. But the door was slightly cracked open, and she heard Gerard’s quiet voice as he told their niece and nephew a story from one of the children’s books they were given by their mother.
“Tanks Unka Gee.” Sammi sighed, her eyes fighting to stay open as her brother’s were tightly shut, softly snoring.
A small smile appeared on Gerard’s face and he lightly kissed her forehead and Everett’s, tucking them in tightly. “Night, guys. Love you,” He whispered.
Meredith quickly snuck back to their bedroom and picked up the book she had opened on their nightstand and snuggled into the covers as Gerard came tiptoeing through the door. “Hey, sweetie, put the littles to bed?” She asked innocently.
Gerard yawned and nodded, taking off his hoodie and throwing on a black t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He slipped into bed and kissed Meredith on the cheek. “Yeah. I’m gonna like being a dad.” He smiled, his grin goofy.
“You’re going to be great dad, Gee. Our babies are going to love you so much.” She smiled, putting a hand to his cheek.
He leaned into her palm and smiled, his eyes closed. “They’re going to love you more though. They’re beautiful, wonderful mother.”
His words broke her heart.

Alicia sat in her car, contemplating whether she should go up to the apartment or not. If she did, she was sure Meredith would yell at her, or someone else would find out. If she didn’t, well, no damage, right? Who would even know it was her behind the tinted windows?
Oh what the hell.
Alicia rang the doorbell and waited impatiently, tapping her foot to a staccato beat and looking anywhere but at the door, feeling like a kid.
Shit, she thought almost laughing. She used to get into so much trouble as a kid. She thought she had been such a badass.
“Alicia?”
She turned, seeing Bob’s head poke out from the crack of his chained door. His blue eye stood out against the black and white background. He looked sleepy and confused, but it was past one.
“Uh, hey. Got a sec?” She asked awkwardly, noticing that he was only in a pair of boxers through the crack in the door.
“Yeah, sure. Hold on.” He closed the door and she heard the chains and locks turning, the door opening. He was throwing on a black hoodie and a pair of khaki shorts in the corner of the living room.
Alicia walked in, nervous. She had never been that close to Bob. The only time she had been at his apartment were all times with either Mikey or Jamia, who had a close connection with the Chicago heartthrob. Jamia and Bob were like best friends, they had always gotten along. But besides saying hey and exchanging a few words at parties and when the band gathered together, they were strangers.
“So, uh, you want something to drink or eat?” Bob asked, running a hand through his blonde hair. “Shit, this place is a mess, sorry.” He twittered, rubbing his eyes with the palms of his hands. “It was a … rough night, haha.”
“Uh, no thanks. I just wanted to tell you, I …” Alicia met his eyes. They really were blue. Probably about as blue as Meredith’s.
Right, Meredith.
“Bob, I’m just gonna say it.” She said, holding her head up high.
He gave her a quizzical look. “Okay?”
Deep breath, Leesh, she told herself. “I know about you and Mare.”
Bob’s eyes bulged. “Shh, Amelia’s here.” He hissed, moving closer to her around the kitchen island. “What … why,” He narrowed his eyes. “What the hell?” He asked, almost angrily.
She sighed. “I’m just … I don’t know why I’m here. But she’s going to be my sister-in-law and Gee’s my brother-in-law, okay? I don’t know what Mare told you or anything but, he can’t find out about this. Gerard just simply cannot. Do you know how much this would kill him, Bob? How could you …?”
“Oh no, do not blame this on me. It takes two to get pregnant, alright?” He snapped, shaking his head. “And don’t you know I can’t tell Gerard, or that he can never find out? Fuck, Alicia, this has been on my shoulders since Meredith announced she was fucking pregnant. What the fuck am I supposed to do, build a time machine and go back? I can’t. I know it’ll fuck everything up, I’ll get kicked out of the band. The guys will shun me. I won’t … I can’t … God dammit!”
He punched the wall in the family room, his knuckles bruised and bloody, a whole in the drywall. “You need to leave, Alicia. I’m sorry, but I can’t deal with this right now.” He said quietly.
Alicia stood there, her mouth slightly gaping, a lump in her throat. She heard a bedroom door open and light footsteps.
Without a word she left his apartment swiftly and quietly.
