Frank's POV
When I woke the next morning it wasn't exactly pleasant nor willing. No. I was woken from my slumber by a sharp pain shooting through my left arm and radiating up my shoulder. It felt as if someone had fucking punched me. Damn. Had Melody forgot she invited me to share her bed and then decided to take her frustrations out on my arm? If so the girl could definitely hit.
I groaned as I cracked an eye open. Nope. She was still sleeping peacefully. Then what the fuck? As carefully as I could I wiggled from under Melody and rolled over only to find Mikey standing there with his arms crossed and a glare on his face. I frowned at him and quietly rolled off the bed.
"What the fuck, Mikey?" I growled as I rubbed at my now sore arm.
"Why the fuck are you in Melody's bed?!"
"Shut up! You are going to wake her up."
"Fine. Let's take this outside." He huffed and stomped from the room.
I sighed as I followed him. I needed a cigarette anyway. As soon as we stepped out into the cool morning air I pulled a cigarette out, lit it, and inhaled deeply.
"Seriously Frank, why the hell were you all cozied up to my girlfriend?"
"She offered to let me share the bed since the chair was uncomfortable. Nothing happened if that is what you are worried about."
"Why would she want you in her bed?"
"Look Mikey, we are just friends and she is the mother of my childre-, I mean child." I spat bitterly as the memory of hearing I had lost a child before I even knew of its existence filled my mind. "You are just going to have to get use to that fact because I can't change it and you knew it when you decided to get with her."
He sighed heavily. "Yeah. I know. I'm sorry. It just freaked me out to see you guys all cuddled up together."
"It's fine but you need to relax dude. Oh and fyi, I am still pissed at you."
"I know. I'm sorry, Frank. I wish I could take it back."
"What exactly happened? All I know is that I came home and you and Gerard were trying to rip each other apart."
"Gerard sort of uh.......walked in on me and Melody while we uh......were you know."
"Oh. No wonder he freaked out on you."
"Yeah. I should have been more careful."
"Yeah. You should have but it's too late now." I muttered.
"I really am sorry, Frankie. I know this is my fault. Probably more so than Gerard's."
"I love you like a brother, Mikey but it's going to take time to get past this. I think with time I can. At least I hope I can. I really do."
"Me too, Frankie. Me too."
"Come on. Melody is probably awake by now."
Mikey only nodded and followed me back inside. As we got closer to Melody's room I could hear laughter. Melody was definitely awake. I couldn't help but laugh as I entered the room. Chris and Benji were making the most ridiculous faces at Melody while she giggled so hard a few stray tears slid down her cheeks.
"Oh my god! You guys are nuts!" Melody exclaimed once she had somewhat caught her breath.
"Hey guys." I greeted them with a chuckle.
"Frankie!" Chris squealed. I swear he is more hyper than I am.
"I brought you something." He grinned as he pulled a pack of skittles from his hoodie pocket.
"Oh thank skittles! I think I was starting to have withdrawals." I grinned back as I tore open the pack and shoved a handful into my mouth, savoring the fruity goodness.
"Hey! I want some." Melody squealed.
"Na-uh. Mine."
"Please?" She pouted at me.
"Nope."
"Pretty please?" She stuck her lip out and batted her eyelashes at me.
"Hmm. Only if you say 'Frankie is the most awesomest guy ever AND he has a nice ass'."
She rolled her eyes at me. "Fine. 'Frankie is the most awesomest guy ever AND he has a nice ass.' Happy now?"
"Yep." I grinned and poured some into her hand.
She grinned back then shoved them into her mouth. She frowned when she caught a glimpse of Mikey standing behind me.
"Guys, can I talk to Mikey alone?"
Melody's POV
I watched as the guys filed out of the room. Frank was the last to leave. He patted my stomach and gave me a small smile before he left. I silently thanked the heavens for Frank's change of heart before I focused my attention on Mikey. He looked nervous, shifting from one foot to the other and avoiding eye contact.
"Mikey, sit down. We need to talk."
He slumped into the seat beside my bed still avoiding eye contact.
"Mel, I'm sorry."
I sighed. I would probably hate myself for this but it had to be done.
"Mikey, I think we need to end this."
His head snapped up and I could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Melody, please don't do this. I'm sorry for what happened."
"I think this is for the best. I can't take the chance of something like this happening again. We were lucky this time but we may not be so lucky next time. Besides, no one should come between you and your brother. Especially a girl."
"There won't be a next time. I swear! Just please don't do this."
"Mikey, please don't make this any harder than it has to be."
"This is because of Frank, isn't it?" He snapped.
"W-What? No! This has nothing to do with Frank."
"I knew this would happen! Maybe Gerard was right! Maybe you are just a whore!" He spat.
"I-I-I...."
I just sat there completely frozen in shock. I am sure I looked ridiculous sitting here with my mouth opening and closing with no words coming out. Mikey turned on his heel and stomped from the room. Less than a minute later Frank came in and sat on my bed.
"Mel, what did he say? Why are you crying?"
Crying? I lifted a hand to my cheek and sure enough it was wet. I hadn't even realized I was crying.
"Melody? Are you okay?"
"I-I....h-he.....he called me a w-whore."
"What?! Why would he do that?"
"I-I told him w-we shouldn't be t-together anymore."
Frank only sighed and pulled me into a tight hug. I slumped into his chest and cried. Every possible emotion other than happiness flowed through me as I let it out onto Frank's chest.
"Shh. I know it hurts but you've got to calm down. You can't get too stressed. It's not good for the baby." Frank murmured.
After a few minutes my sobs turned to small hiccups until it stopped altogether. I pulled back from Frank's embrace and he used his thumbs to wipe away my remaining tears.
"You okay?" I shook my head.
"I think I should go back to Newark." I sniffled.
"Where would you go?"
"Ryan would let me stay with him."
"I would prefer it if you stayed."
"Why?"
"After all that has happened it's made me realize that I really don't mind that I am going to be a dad. In fact, I'm looking forward to it and if you are away from me I'll only worry constantly about you and the baby."
"But what about Mikey? If I stay it will only cause problems. He has already accused me of wanting to be with you instead of him. Plus, where will I sleep?"
"He really said that?" I only nodded.
"Mel, I'm sorry. It's my fault. He was mad when he came in this morning and found me asleep next to you."
I sighed. "I've already tried to explain to him that this is your baby and he would have to get use to it."
"Just forget about Mikey for now. I'll handle him and you can sleep in my bed for now."
"Don't you think that will only add to the problem?" I quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Not with me. I'll sleep on the couch."
"Frank, I can't kick you out of your own bed. I'll sleep on the couch."
"You are pregnant. I am not letting you sleep on the couch."
"Fine." I huffed though it was only playful. I was grateful for the one-eighty Frank seemed to have done.
"So, when do I get out of here?"
"This afternoon when your doctor from last night comes in."
"Ugh! That's too long." I groaned.
"Cheer up, buttercup. Chris will be back soon with something to entertain us with."
As if on cue, Chris entered the room followed by Benji and Zac, Chris grinned as he brought something out from behind his back. It was the board game Sorry.
"Oh hell yes! Every one of you are going down!" I grinned.
"We'll see about that." Chris smirked.
So, for the next few hours that is what we did. I did win most of the games except for two which Frank won. At around two my doctor finally came by and checked me out. He gave me a prescription for some multi-vitamins and gave me strict orders to keep my stress level under control.
I was excited to leave the hospital yet at the same time I was nervous because this meant I would have to face Mikey. Frank assured me everything would be fine. I could only hope he was right.
