He was reading a story to Alice and I couldn't help but feel bad everytime he'd read a word wrong. "Daddy that doesn't sound right. That's not how Daddy reads it." Alice told him. "W-well I'm trying Al."

"Gerard you have dyslexia baby." I whispered.

"Wh-what?" He looked confused. "Why wouldn't they tell me that?"

"They told me." He narrowed his eyes at my response. "And why didn't you tell me?!? That's not one of your secrets Frank! That's my life!!!" He yelled.

"I-I know but-"

"No! Just leave me alone!" He ran out crying after throwing the book at my chest. I sighed and sat down and read to Alice.

"Why is daddy so moody?" She asked. "Sometimes he's happy, sometimes he's sad, sometimes he's angry. Maybe daddy is pregnant." I looked at her confused. For a little girl she knew a lot and I wondered how she knew so much. "That's what mommy said she was when she acted like that. Hey when's mommy coming back?" Drake knocked softly on the door.

"One second." I said. "Baby mommy's not coming back. She died." She was pregnant? Her and her baby died. Alice could've had a brother or a sister, but they died.

"What's that mean? She's never coming back? Why daddy?" Her eyes filled with tears and Drake came in.

"It was mommy's time to leave. She had to go to a better place." I smiled at my brother. "Is she happy now?" He nodded. "She's very happy and she loves you Al." I told her.

"Okay daddy. It's bedtime now." I nodded. "Yes it is baby." I kissed her forehead and so didn't Drake.

"I heard what happened, with the kid's mom. I'm really sorry Frank." I shrugged. "It's fine Drake. I just feel bad for my daughter you know? She has to grow up without a mom."

"Yeah that must suck." I nodded. "She doesn't understand though." I nodded again and he hugged me. "Goodnight Frank."

I walked to my bedroom and my baby was laying there still crying. "Baby I'm sorry." He ignored me and I laid down and went to sleep.

-Gerard's POV-
I'm dyslexic? I can't believe he kept that from me. I don't understand I should've known that! I really should've. Maybe his intentions were good or whatever. I don't know. All I know is I'm tired. I'm very, very tired.

A/N I have no idea how I got this far, because I swear yesterday I was in the twenties, but I'm almost done with this story. There are only six chapters and a epilogue left. There won't be a sequel, because I want to start writing a different story. The ones I've written before I won't be continuing most likely, because I got bored with them.
