Danni

“Have you guys ever though about having kids?” I asked my dad and Frank. They just looked at each other and then back at me.

“I have kids...” my dad said.

“No, I meant one of your own.”

“Not really. We’re pretty content with what we have.” Frank said. Dad shook his head in agreement.

We sat in silence for a little while watching TV. It had been a few hours since I announced that I was prego. I still couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t know what I was going to do. I’m not gonna get rid of it, that’s just immoral.

“Wait...” My dad said all of a sudden. “Are you asking us to take your baby?” I just looked down at my hands.

“I don’t know... I just... I’m not ready to be a mom. I know I have you guys and Nikki, but I don’t know if I can do it. This is all happening so fast... I have to pee...” I said before quickly getting up and dashing to the bathroom. I leaned over the sink, trying not to fall over. I stood there for a few minutes before I turned around and headed back into the living room.

"What are you thinking about?" My dad asked me when I sat down on the chair.

"I want to do this. I know it's probably crazy, but I want to try." I said with tears building up in my eyes.

"Whatever you decide, we’re with you all the way." my dad said, Frank nodding in agreement. I was so lucky to have two understanding dads.

I got up and sat between the both of them. "I love you guys." I said trying not to cry.

No sooner than I sat down, the front door opened and Nikki walked in. “I was over at Ryan’s.” She met my eyes and frowned, “What’s up with you?”

I stood up and walked toward her. I pulled her to me and just held her tightly. “I need to talk to you. We should go upstairs.”

“Okay,” Nikki nodded. I could tell that she was confused. I quickly led her upstairs to my bedroom. She sat down on my bed and I shut the door behind us. “So, what’s going on?”

I sat down beside her and took a deep breath. For some reason I was more worried about telling my sister about being pregnant, than I was about telling my dad. It just seemed like Nikki would judge me for it. I knew she wouldn’t, though. She had been through this before. She knows what it feels like to be pregnant. “I’m pregnant.”

Nikki’s eyes narrowed, “What the hell, Danni? How could you be so stupid! You’re going to ruin your life!” She stood up and walked across my room, standing by the door.

I shook my head, “Joey basically raped me, Nik. I told him no, but he didn’t want to listen. I didn’t want to have sex with him, it just happened.” I shook my head, “I thought you of all people would understand.” Her face hardened. Obviously I shouldn’t have said that.

All she did was shake her head, “Did you tell Dad and Frank?”

I nodded, “Yea, Frank was the first person to find out.”

She smirked, “What did they have to say?”

I shrugged, “That they would support me with whatever decision I made.” I paused, “I think I’m going to keep the baby.”

Tears started falling from Nikki’s eyes. “I don’t care what you do, but just remember that by having this kid you’re screwing your life up.” She shook her head, “I can’t believe you were so stupid! You should have made him listen to you, Danni!” She sighed, putting her head in her hands, “I just don’t want you to do what I did. You’re better than that.”

I shook my head and walked toward her. She met my gaze and instantly pulled me into a hug. “I’m not mad, and I really hope you do keep the baby. I think it will be good, for all of us.”

I nodded, “I know you’re not mad. This probably brings up a lot of bad memories. That’s why I wanted to tell you in private.”

She smiled, “Well, I’m glad you told me. And Dad and Frank. I never would have had the courage to do that.”

“Speaking of those two, we should probably get back downstairs.”

Nikki nodded and let go of me. She turned around and opened the door. We rushed down the stairs and when we got into the living room, we found our dad and Frank making out on the couch. I swear, you can’t leave those two alone.

Nikki coughed as she slid into the chair. I laughed as they broke apart and looked at both of us. I shook my head and slid in between them on the couch. We watched TV in silence.

After about an hour I smiled to myself, “Arthur.”

“What are you talking about?” Dad asked.

“If the baby is a boy. That’s what his name should be.”

Frank nodded, “That’s a great name.”

Gerard

I rolled over to face Frank. I smiled when I noticed he was still awake too. “I think we should have a baby.”

Frank turned to face me and smirked, “Well, we can try and conceive a child right now, but because of what science says I don’t think you or I will actually get pregnant.” He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine.

I shook my head, “That’s not what I meant and you know it.” He kissed me again. “I’m serious. I think we should look into adoption or something. That’s what Mikey and Alicia are doing.”

Frank sighed and looked up at the ceiling, “I don’t know, Gerard. Danni is pregnant, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to bring another baby into the house so soon.”

“We don’t have to adopt a baby. We can get a kid that’s a little bit older.” I rolled over on top of him, straddling his waist, “Come on, Frankie. Have a baby with me.”

He leaned up and kissed me again. “Fine. You talked me into it.”

I smirked, “I can talk you into anything.”

He nodded, “This is not a healthy relationship. You’re very controlling.”

I shrugged, “Yea, but you love me anyway.”

He pressed his lips to mine again, wrapping his arms around my neck. “That’s what I want you to think.”
