VI.

Fiona lived by the words of "Gallagher's pay their debts" like many in this family did, and she never broke that promise.

when she heard the voicemail she had tears in her eyes. "I-I can't go there- I left them behind and I literally told them, I don't want kids because they are my kids! Fuck- what am I supposed to do Ry" her eyes glistened as she stared at her husband.

His honest grey eyes stared at her brown ones. "Fiona, you did in no way betray them, you are the strongest woman I know, and I married you because I know you keep every promise you make-" "not because you love me endlessly?" "of course that too! Don't make me nervous- but what I'm getting at is, that you made the promise to Cassandra that you'll see her again. And you're the woman who raised her! She would want you there on her big day" He said, crossing his arms and Fiona sighed

"I mean, she's 19, she's getting married- maybe she's a bit too much like me" Fiona bit her lip as she whispered that, "Love, why are you even contemplating this, look. We'll use the easy method of deciding this" Henry cleared his throat before he loudly said.

"Parker! Come down here for a second please, me and your mother want to ask you something!" and within seconds tiny steps could be heard, a boy not older than four walking down the stairs looking at the pair "Yes?" "Park, you know how we told you about your aunts and uncles? How you feel about us all going to the wedding of your auntie Cassie" Henry now bent down to the eyesight of their son.

The boy shrugged his shoulders "I guess it's fine, which aunt is that? The twin or the redhead?" the small boy asked and Henry smiled slightly "the twin" the boy immediately turned to his mother "Mom!! Can we please go there? Please please please!" he begged until she sighed "alright, we'll go. Up to your room now, time to pack" and with her ruffling her sons hair, he was running back up the stairs

Henry stopped bending and looked at Fiona who smiled slightly "it's been four years Fiona, four years of telling our son stories about them, I think it's time they meet him. Meet us." he looked at her with begging eyes, she let out a sigh "Ry, they know you, you were over at our house when liam was born! You supported me when I dropped out, and when I decided to go away from them you followed me, that's when I realized you love me-" "this isn't about me, stop trying to find excuses fi. It's about Cassie, her wedding, and Parker meeting the only other part of the family he has left. I'll be packing" Henry looked a bit upset as he left the living room to go to their bedroom.

Henry was there from the beginning. He went through the most upsetting moments with the family he claimed as his own. His mother loved having Fiona over, and his father always contributed to the bills and whatever medical needs the Gallagher's had. But then his mother died of a diabetic coma, and his dad came soon after, he couldn't handle the grief of losing his wife.

Tears welled up in his eyes, as he thought of that. He considered Cassie as his own little sister, he considered all of the Gallagher's family. And seeing Fiona hesitate made him sad, because he heard the voicemail. He knew that she was hurt by her leaving, by them leaving.

He looked up at the dresser, seeing the picture of young Cassie on his shoulders pointing out her tongue at his dad's camera. And beside that a picture of Fiona and him at their wedding, his smile big. He left because he had no one left but Fiona, she was his rock, but she hardly understood that.

He took a deep breath and simply packed their luggage, since after all. Gallagher's don't go down so easily, and Henry Gallagher certainly wouldn't too.

Henry drove calmly, noticing the anxious fiona who was staring at their sleeping son in the backseat.

"Fiona, it's 12 am, sleep a bit alright, because tomorrow will be a long day" He said, his voice low trying not to wake their son, she sighed and obliged, closing her eyes leaning against the window.

Seeing the Gallagher house felt surreal, loud music playing from the inside, Fiona took a large gulp, Parker in the backseat excited, Henry got out of the car first, opening the door for Fiona who grabbed her purse, meanwhile, Henry opened the door for Parker who immediately grabbed his dad's hand.

Fiona took the first step as Henry locked the car, grabbed Parker's other hand, and walked toward the house.

Arriving at the top of the stairs, Henry saw fiona wasn't going to so he knocked on the door. As just the two of us played inside of the house, an smiling Lip opened the door, his smile falling in shock.

"Henry- Fiona- Child!" he exclaimed, Henry with a smile going forward to hug him, Lip accepting and hugging him tightly, before turning to Fiona who had tears in her eyes, Parker Let go of her hand, making Lip wrap his arms around her, causing her to stumble a bit.

"Come on in! Fuck- oh sorry- uh, they'll be so excited to see you" Lip didn't question the child, just yelling "GALLAGHERSSSS" and immediately they all ran to the scene, thinking something happened. Every single one stopping in their steps as they saw the people standing there.

Fiona with a sniffle stepped forward "Hey... I came back." "Who's the child?" Mickey asked from the corner drinking his beer, sitting meanwhile everyone else was shocked.

"Uh- that's our son Parker Gallagher, and you remember Henry? My husband now, Henry Gallagher" "He became a Gallagher!" "fuck that kid looks like carl when he was small!" one excited and terrified yell came, Debbie being the excited one and Ian the Terrified.

"He does look like me" Carl mumbled, Liam running towards Fiona, hugging her with all his might. One after one more people joined the hug, turning it into a group hug "Mickey-" "look, I'm also part of this family- I'm allowed to hug you guys too!"

Henry smiled, finally, the only people left to meet were Cassie and Luke. And he hoped that would go good
