Frank's POV

"Wait, how do they know about the baby? We didn't tell anyone."

"I called them."

My head snapped up to see Mikey standing in the doorway.

"Mikey, why?"

"My life is hell now so why shouldn't yours be too?"

"Mikey, this doesn't just affect Frank. It affects Melody, the band, our families. What the hell is wrong with you?!" Gerard growled.

"I-I......whatever!" Mikey huffed and stomped to his room.

I sighed and buried my head in my hands, rubbing my tired eyes with my palms.

"I'm sorry, Frank. This is all my fault."

"No, it's not! Stop fucking blaming yourself!" I snapped.

I didn't mean to snap at her. I really didn't and I instantly regretted it as I laid eyes on Melody's face. She looked shocked, yes but worst of all she looked hurt. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears and her mouth gaped open.

"Melody, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

She only shook her head and jumped up from the couch. She ran to my room and slammed the door behind her.

"Fuck!" I groaned.

"It's okay, Frank."

"No, it's not. I am supposed to be keeping her from stressing out, not be the cause of it."

"It's a stressful situation, Frank. It's hard not to be stressed."

"She has already lost one baby. She can't lose this one, too." I growled.

"Frank, I-"

I sighed heavily. "I'm sorry, Gee. I know it was an accident. I'm just stressed now."

"No, you have every right to hate me for that. I would probably feel the same way."

"I don't hate you, Gerard. It upsets me but there's nothing I can do about it now."

"It still sucks. That was my little niece or nephew and I-I k-killed it, Frankie. I killed it because I was being stupid and selfish."

"Let's just drop it, okay? I don't want Melody to hear us."

"Yeah. Okay."

"I'm going to go check on her."

As I opened my bedroom door I heard light sobbing. Melody was lying on her side with her knees pulled up against her chest. I felt horrible for snapping at her. I lay down beside her and gently stroked her side.

"Melody, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just a little stressed. Please don't cry."

"I-I'm s-sor-ry."

"You know, you have said that way too many times today." I teased. She sniffed.

"I know but-"

"Hey, no buts."

She giggled through her tears. "But Frankie, I thought you liked butts."

"Oh, cracking jokes now are we?"

I started tickling her and she squealed.

"No! S-Stop!"

"Nah-uh!"

Just then Gerard burst through the door with a look of confusion on his face.

"Come on Gee, join the fun."

"No!"

"Oh hell yes!" Gerard grinned as he joined in on our little tickle fight.

"N-No m-more! P-Please!"

"What do you think Gee, has she had enough?"

"Hmm.....I don't know." He teased.

"Oooh, I want in on this!"

We looked up in shock to see Chris and Ray standing there. Chris jumped on the bed and took my place tickling Melody.

"Hey Ray, what are you guys doing here?"

"Have you seen TMZ yet?"

I sighed. "Yeah. We just saw it and Gerard said the phone didn't stop ringing until he unplugged it."

"How did they find out? We didn't tell anyone."

"Mikey." I muttered.

"Mikey? But why?"

"He said he wanted my life to be hell like his is." I shrugged.

"Doesn't he realize this affects all of us?"

"I don't know, Ray."

"I am going to talk to him."


Mikey's POV

'Those fucking assholes had to be right about everything. Sure, I want Frank and Melody to suffer but not the band. Dammit! Why didn't I think this through a little better?' A knock at the door shook me from my thoughts.

"Go away!"

The door opened to reveal Ray. Damn. I forgot to lock the door.

"I am not going anywhere, Mikey. Not until we talk about this."

"Fine. What do you want?"

"I want you to stop acting like a spoiled two year old. I want you to come out of this fucking room. I want you to just get over it already. I want to know why you called the media."

"I called them because I want to hurt Frank for taking Melody away from me. He's an asshole and he doesn't deserve her."

"First off, you didn't just fuck over Frank and Melody, you fucked us all over, including yourself. Secondly, Frank didn't take Melody from you. They are not even together but if they were it would probably be for the best. She is carrying his child not yours."

"I-I.....I know, Ray. It just hurts. I love her."

"Are you sure, Mikey? You were not together that long so how can you be so sure?"

"I-I....I just am."

"Whatever, Mikey. If you really love her then leave her alone. Stop giving her shit. She is stressed enough right now."

"I know." I sighed. "It just hurts."

"It would probably hurt less if you tried to get over it. Just forgive and forget."

I sighed as I thought his words over in my head.

"I will try, Ray but no promises."

"Just try. That is all I am asking. You know, we all kind of miss the old funny, goofy Mikey."

"i miss him too, Ray."

"Then try to find him because I know he is still in there somewhere."

"Thanks Ray. I needed this."

"Anytime, Mikes." He grinned and ruffled my hair.

"Ew Mikey! When is the last time you showered? Your hair is greasy enough to cook with."

"Last week. I think." I muttered. My cheeks flushed red at the thought of just how gross that truly was.

"Okay. Shower. Now!."

"Yes sir."

"And scrub good. You probably have mold growing in that shit."

I chuckled as I stripped down to nothing and adjusted the spray. Once it was to my liking I stepped under the pulsing, hot water. It felt amazing yet foreign. Ray was right. I was gross. Maybe he was right about Frank and Melody, too. Maybe I should just forget about the whole thing and move on. Or at least try to. I smiled to myself. Yeah, I would at least try.

Once again everyone should thank bloodless_souls for giving me great ideas. :) Credit for said ideas goes to her and thanks to everyone that gave me baby names. It's going to be so hard to pick just one because they were all so awesome. :)
