My Way Home Is Through You (Frerard)

Chapter 40

Time lapse: 3 weeks

Having just dropped Kyle off and school, I pulled into the parking lot at Belleville high, feeling my phone virbate in my pocket. Finishing off the last of my hazelnut mocha, which I had treated myself to on the way here, I pulled my phone from my pocket seeing two messages waiting for me. One of the would definitely be Gerard, probably complaining about my nagging, I wasn't sure who the other would be. Since he had been away I had been constantly worrying about him doing his injections, to the extent I had texted Mikey every morning asking him to check Gerard had done them, as well as reminding Gerard.  

G - Yes sugar, I've had my insulin, stop stressing xoxo

G - Waiting for the plane, should be about 6 hours if the plane is on time xoxo

I smiled to myself, everything was under control, I had been stressing all week, Kyle had gotten into another fight at school, something to do with Alex - cute that he was defending her I thought. Of course without Gerard here, I had been a little less relaxed in general, ignoring the extra stress I had of him being away, because I was scared he would forget to do his insulin. Then there was the final fact, we had a baby due, in five days, I had been worrying all week long that it would come while Gerard was away.

Just as I was about to rply to Gerard, tell him I was calm, I was relaxed, evrything was okay and going to plan, my phone vibrated again, once and then almost immediately afterwards, two messages from Hannah and Sophie. My stomach flipped and I immediately read the messages, first from Sophie, then Hannah.

Sophie - It's time

Hannah - Hey is Gerard back yet?

With my head getting awfully confused and my stomach both settling and flipping more I replied to both, the same thing, I had no idea what either really meant, I was hoping they would be coincidental or at least answer the questions my head was asking, but neither did, both made it worse.

Me - What?

I had an immediate response from Hannah and a fairl speedy response from Hannah, both answering my question and making me flip the fuck out, throw school of my agenda and turn the engine back on again.

Hannah - Tell him to get to the hospital, you got a baby coming xD

Sophie - The baby dumbass, get your butt here so I can kill you for the fucking pain.

No longer giving a toss whether I was meant to be in school, whether my kids had exams soon, or whether the Principal would fire me, I chucked my phone onto the passenger seat and pulled straight out of the parking lot again, I had a daughter and she was almost here. Of course the traffic wasn't really on my side, which maybe wasn't as much of a problem as I made it seem, I would still be there in plenty of time, I was just panicking. Worrying was something I always did, in any situation if someone was going to panic it would be me. Personally I thought I had done an incredible job in the last week of staying calm, I would rush and fret,  ut everything was fine, I would realise that and calm down, everything would always turn out okay. To be honest, Gerard would probably disagree, I was very worried about him, several times he had told me I really needed to calm down but I did, I did what he said and I did it better than I expected.

Sitting patiently at a red light, I slipped my phone ut of my pocket, replying to the text I had received at school from Gerard, not the response he woul have been expecting that was for sure. Although actually, he had said he would be six hours if the plane was on time, the journey itself would be five and then it would be at least fourt-five minutes from the airport to the hosptial, he would be on the plane by that point, he wouldn't get the message, Realizing there was little more I could actually do, I sent thr message anyway, putting my phone away as the light when green, he would get the message as soon as he reached New Jersey, that's when he needed it.
