Second Oldest ~ Shameless

Ouroboros

A few weeks after Gwen and Pete announced they were having a boy, Gwen was now 8 and half months pregnant and expected to be giving birth any minute. She had been feeling a few strong kicks lately but same thing happened when she was pregnant with Evie. Gwen and Peter and already gotten the new baby's nursery ready for a boy and we're excited to give Evie a little sibling.

One day, while sleeping soundly in bed, Pete arm draped around his wife, a phone ringing suddenly awoke them.

"What the fuck?" Pete groggily said, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Gwen sat up, leaning over to grab her phone off the nightstand on her side and answered.

"Somebody better be dead or dying to wake me up at this hour." Gwen said in a deadpan voice, her eyes half open as she struggled to stay awake.

"Hey Gwen," Gwen could hear the anger in Fiona voice on the other line. "Sorry to wake you but wanted to give you a heads up: Monica's back."

This immediately woke gwen right up as her eyes shot open and gasped. Pete looked over at worried.

"What? What is she doing here?" Gwen hissed.

"I don't know just wanted to let you know before you thought about stopping by today."

Fiona suddenly hung up the phone before Gwen could say anything else.

She put the phone down, looking straight ahead, stoned face.

"What's wrong?" Pete asked "you okay?"

"I was..." she looked straight in her husband's eyes. "Until I learned Monica was back."

After a quick breakfast and getting dressed, the Mannings decided to stop at the Gallagher house, Gwen really hoped Monica wasn't there right now because she didn't want to add stress to herself when she is close to giving birth soon. The last thing she needed was to give birth to her second child while her mom was in town.

Oh... how wrong she was as they entered the house. Evie was in her father's arms as they opened the front door and entered the living room.

"So I heard hurricane Monica has blown back into town!" Gwen said loudly and gasped when she just noticed Monica was in the room with Liam and Debbie and Kevin who was sleeping on the couch last night.

"Gwennie!" Monica exclaimed happily as she sprinted over to embrace her second oldest. As soon as the woman's arms wrapped around the pregnant woman's body, Gwen quickly pushed her off.

"Don't touch me!" She spat, clenching her pregnant belly.

"But- oh my God! You're pregnant again! Is it a boy or a girl?!"

Gwen didn't answer. "What are you doing here Monica?"

Monica paused for a moment. "It was time for me to come back. That's all!" She turned to Pete who was still holding his three year old daughter in his arms. "And Petey! You look as handsome as always! Bet the second kid is gonna be just as handsome as their father!"

Pete didn't respond, holding a blank expression at the lady while Evie looked at Monica with a confused expression.

"Oh! And is this my first grandbaby! Evie was it?" Monica tried to get close but Evie quickly hid her face in her father's chest.

"Stranger danger! Stranger danger!" Evie cried repeatedly.

Monica took a step back. "No... I-I'm your grandmother."
