Anna’s P.O.V

It’s been a month since I last seen Amelia and seven months since she moved to Vancouver for her job and she was really enjoying it. They had given her maternity leave early and I was planning on surprising her by also arriving early to help her get settled into her own apartment that she got last month.

I pulled into her Aunt’s driveway, grabbed my bag off the passenger seat and making my way inside.

“Hey Anna” Opal smiled from the doorway

“Hey” I smiled hugging her

“She’s asleep upstairs”

“Thanks” I said as I made my way up to Amelia’s room

I opened the door softly to see Amelia lying on her side facing the large bay window. I glanced around in the early morning sunshine to see the room. I smiled at the thousand of pictures on the wall and the camera bag dumped on the floor by the window, it reminded me of her room back in Jersey. I tip toed over to the bed and sat down slowly. Leaning over her body, I could see “the bump” outline under the covers

“Amelia” I said shaking her shoulder softly

“Frank” I heard her whisper in her sleep, she looked so cute

“Amelia” I shaked her a little harder as her eyes fluttered open slowly

“Anna?” She asked groggily

I smiled down at her as she turned onto her back.

“Anna, what the hell are you doing here?” She asked pushing her hair from her eyes

I laughed “Nice to see you too. I drove up; I had a few days off so I decided to come up early”

“It’s so good to see you” She smiled hugging me as tight as she could

“I seen you last month”

“A month to long” She squeezed

After Amelia got dressed we started packing her things into more boxes.

“This reminds me so much of you moving here” I smiled

“Seems like forever ago” Amelia sighed placing a white book into a box

“What’s this?” I asked, looking at the front a of the white book

“It’s a baby book, just little things I’ve put in there” Amelia explained, taking it back out of the box and handing it to me

“Do you know the sex?” I asked turning the pages slowly looking over all the entries

“Yeah, I’m having a little boy” She smiled, rubbing her arm

“A little baby boy” I smiling turning to the latest ultra sound that I had went to with her

“Yup” She smiled, rubbing her stomach and sitting down on the bed

“You okay?” I asked concerned

“Yeah, my backs just hurting a little” She winced, straightening

“Your bumps only small though” I smiled

“I’m five four apparently it’s a strain on me” She smiled fondly rubbing the bump

“How did you get to be the size you are when Gerard and Mikey are so tall” I laughed

“I have no idea” She laughed again

After packing for two hours, Amelia needed a break so we headed downstairs and made something to eat.

“I’m so hungry” Amelia moaned waddling into the kitchen “A sandwich sounds good. You want anything Anna?” Amelia asked turning towards me

“Yeah, I’ll get it” I smiled directing her to a seat at the table

Opening the fridge I pulled out the appropriate things to make a sandwich. I placed them all out on the table in front of us and handed her a knife.

“How are my brothers?” Amelia asked grabbing the bed and taking out two slices

“They’re alright” I smiled “Still on tour with The Used” I shrugged

“How’s Frank?” She asked blushed, spreading butter onto a slice

“He had the cold the last time I spoke to Gerard” I explained when she frowned

“He was always sick as a kid” She smiled “How are you and my brother?” She asked changing the subject

“We’re doing great” I smiled, blushing and looking down at my hands

“Awww…you wuv him” Amelia smirked

“I do” I giggled

“When are they supposed to be coming up to visit me?”

“I think they’re coming up next week there finished tour then and they’re staying till the birth of the baby” I informed her

“Good, I can’t wait to see them again; I’ve missed them so much”

“They’ve missed you too” I comforted her by grabbing her hands

After lunch we put some boxes into my car and headed over to Amelia’s new apartment. Stepping into the elevator as I held onto the box that we’d brought over humming the elevator music.

“Is this place nice?” I asked her as we leant against the railing

“Yeah, it’s pretty big for what I pay for it” She smiled, rubbing her belly “Enough room for me and the baby”

“Good, I don’t want you staying in a hole” I smiled as we reached the fourth floor and the elevator came to a stop. We both climbed out and walked down a well decorated hallway stopping outside a door marked three a.

“This is it” Amelia smiled, placing the key in the door and pushing it open

“Wow” I whispered putting the box down on the floor and wondering in behind Amelia to the large living room that even had a step to get down into it.

“It’s huge isn’t it” Amelia smiled sitting down on the couch that had been already moved in

“It’s amazing” I smiled sitting down next to her and gripping her hand

“It’s a really different from the house in Jersey” She quipped with tears in her eyes “It feels weird like living at Opals was just like Jersey. Now that I’ve got this apartment and I suddenly can’t help but feel homesick”

“It was bound to be happen” I smiled grabbing her hand

“I suppose” She sniffed

“Awww…Amelia don’t cry”

“I can’t help it I just having this weird feeling”

“Homesickness” I smiled hugging her to me “Sweetheart, Jerseys where your heart is”

“It hadn’t hit me till just then” She smiled through her tears and lay down on the couch putting her head on my legs. Running my hands through her hair and thinking about what Jersey meant to me.

Gerard POV

Reading a comic book in the back room while everyone else slept, I thought about Amelia and how surprised she was going to be when we all turned up in Canada to help her move to her new apartment. I’d only told Mikey and he was super excited about seeing her after being on the road for so long.

After my midnight chat with Frank over Amelia’s diary that me and Mikey had planted for the good of our little sister and to help Frank realise that she did love him back and that he wasn’t risking there relationship.

I smiled as the bus came to a halt and heard Mikey call me from the front.

“Gee, we’re here”

I smiled and placed the comic book onto the chair beside me and left the room to get my bag from my bunk.

“What time is it?” Frank asked sliding back his curtain

“It’s four in the afternoon and were in Canada”

“Wow” Frank mumbled, swinging his legs out of his bunk and sitting up slightly

“Time to visit, Amelia” I smiled clapping him on the shoulder

He told me days earlier that he was going to visit her when we arrived here. He still didn’t know that we were all going to visit her and help her move. Opening the bus door and stepping out into the cold Vancouver air, pulling my smokes from my pocket I proceeding to light one to take away the chill I was feeling.

“Give me one” Frank mumbled, standing next to me and making a grab for the cigarette in my mouth

“Did Amelia tell you she was moving?” I asked as he light the cigarette

“Where is she moving to?” He asked taking a long draw

“To an apartment, still in Vancouver” I shrugged “Were all going to help her move her stuff”

“All of us?” He asked, looking round at me

“Yeah, me, Mikey, Ray and Bob are surprising her and offering our help”

“I thought I was going alone?” Frank whispered dropping the cigarette onto the concrete and stubbed it out with his foot

“It was last minute really” I lied “Anna talked me into it and she definitely has a way with words”

“EW… that’s gross Gee” Frank whined, punching me lightly in the arm

I smiled, moving back inside the bus too grab another sweater.

Bob drove us over to Opal’s house as he was the only one that thought ahead and booked a van for us to drive around in. Driving around Vancouver was weird, we had to pull over and ask for directions.

“I thought you boys were never getting here” Opal sighed once we’d pulled into her drive way behind her car

“Hey Aunt Opal” Mikey smiled pulling her into a short hug

“Awww…Mikey, your all grown up” She smiled, looking him over “Gerard” Her smiled got bigger as she cast her eyes over me “You look great”

“Thanks Opal” I smiled hugging her “How did you ever get use to this weather” I shivered even threw my two sweaters

“I thought you’d be use to it because of Jersey” Bob nudged me, lifting some bags from the back and handing them to Ray

“Travelling spoiled you” Opal remarked, moving us all into the house

I looked over at Frank, who was surprisingly quiet. I nudged him and he smiled slightly before going back to looking at his shoes.

“Where’s Amelia? I want to hug the hell out of my little sister” Mikey asked taking off his jacket

“She’s at her apartment” Opal smiled watching over us “Should be home soon, Anna drove her over”

“Anna’s here?” I asked frowning slightly

“Seems you don’t talk to her as much as you thought” Ray laughed, dropping his bag in the hall

“She said she was coming up next week” I smiled, following Opal into the kitchen

“Maybe she wanted to surprise you as well as Amelia” Opal shrugged, going into the cupboard to collect six mugs and placing them on the counter “Coffee, tea, hot chocolate?” She asked over her shoulder

“Tea”

“Coffee”

“Coffee”

“Hot chocolate”

“Hot chocolate” Came Franks mumbled response as he fell into a chair

“You alright?” Bob asked as we all sat down at the table

“Huh? Erm…yeah, fine”

“You sure?” Ray asked looking over at Frank

The whole band knew about Frank and Amelia. No secrets amount our band that’s for sure.

“Yeah, little tired”

“There are beds upstairs” Opal smiled placing the mugs onto the table in front of us

“Thanks” Five boys replied wrapping they’re hands around they’re mugs

The room feel into silence as the five of us savoured our hot drinks. After our drinks we all moved into the living room to relax and watch some daytime TV movie, Frank and Bob were asleep on the couch and Mikey and Ray were engrossed in the movie. I left them too it and moved back into the kitchen to talk to Opal who was busy making dinner for all of us.

“Hey” She smiled as I entered the kitchen

“Hey” I smiled back sitting down at the breakfast bar

“What wrong, Gerard?” She asked placing a pot onto boil

“Just wanted to talk to you” I shrugged, watching her move around the kitchen

“About?”

“Amelia, mostly”

“She’s doing fine” She stated “Very stubborn girl, just like her brothers” She laughed, handing me some juice

“Yeah, we taught her all she knows”

“Why does she not want him to know?” Opal asked leaning against the counter

“From what I’ve heard she’s scared” I shrugged drinking the juice

“Scared of what?”

“Of her self, her feeling”

“Why? If he had sex with her then why wouldn’t he want to be with her?”

“Erm…” I coughed a little embarrassed “They’re best friends and she thinks that there no future for them”

“Nothing ruins a relationship like a baby” Opal sighed

“He loves her” I replied jumping to Franks defence

“I know he does”

I gawked at her; maybe it’s a women thing, feminine intuition or whatever it’s called.

“Don’t look so surprised Gerard, I caught him looking at a picture of her as a kid with such longing, and it wasn’t hard not to notice”

“Oh” I smiled “What time are they getting back?” I asked changing the subject

“Should be soon” She smiled looking at the watch on her wrist “I told them to be back by five”

“I’m just going to hang out in the living room” I told her as she waved her hand dismissively

I moved back in to find that the movie had finished and Mikey, Ray and Bob had left to shower according to Frank who was still sitting on the couch but was now positioned so he could see out of the window.

“Whatcha doing?” I asked watching him from the doorway

“Nothing” He blushed

“She’ll be home soon” I smiled, looking out of the window with him

“I’ve missed her” He sighed looking up at me

“We all miss her”

“You don’t miss her here” He smiled, placing his tattooed hand over his heart

“I know” I whispered dropping onto the couch

Amelia’s POV

I smiled as I woke up on the couch covered in a soft blanket. Sitting up slowly and taking in my surrounding I frowned remembering Anna was here with me before I fell asleep.

“In here, Amelia” She called, opening the kitchen door and smiling out at me

“What you doing?” I asked, standing up and walking into the kitchen

“Making dinner”

“But there’s no plates or anything” I remarked moving round the door

“I ordered in, were eating from the containers” She smiled over her shoulder

“Mmm…Chinese, my favourite”

“I called Opal and let her know we were coming home until later”

“You read my mind” I smiled sitting down at the table “Did she not say anything about us not eating a proper meal?”

“Yeah, but I just told I was making something to eat” She said placing two containers down in front of me

“She believed you” I laughed

“Yeah, told me to make sure not to give you cheese or eggs” Anna smiled sitting down across from me

“I love cheese omelette as well” I laughed, taking my chopsticks and digging into my meal

“I know” She laughed with me before we fell into silence savouring our food and how good it tastes

“Do you know what I miss most about home” I smiled, after ten minutes of silence

“What that?” Anna said, slurping in some noodles

“Getting to see my brothers, Frank and Ray ever couple of months”

“You’ve not meet Bob yet?”

“Frank was telling me about him a couple of months ago” I shrugged “Never got the full story though, he was busy or something” I sighed

“He’s pretty cool” She told me pushing her container away “I’m full” She smiled dropping the chopsticks

“Mmm…I’m never full” I giggled putting more food into my mouth

“You’re eating for two” Anna giggled

“I feel like I’m eating for five”

After filling my belly, I sat back and looked at the ceiling, just as well I was wearing stretchy pants or my belly would be hanging over them. Smiling and wanting to go back to sleep again, I looked at Anna and breathed out slowly.

“I’m going to go and lay down again” I stated getting up from the table

“Sure, I’ll just clean up” She smiled getting up from the table as well

I toddled along to my bed room, looking in the door at the king sized bed and sighed plenty of room to spread out. Climbing into bed I pulled the covers up and over my body snuggling down into them, falling asleep pretty fast.
