The Only Hope For Me Is You

Part 20

Sorry it's been like over 24 HOURS since my last upload- lol but I was tired last night and all of today I have been stuck in the rain with a million short people (aka kids) with a jumping castle, crappy party food and a magician... He ate a balloon...

Leda’s POV:

 After I got off the phone with Maria and then Wren I felt like I needed to sit down. Holy shit. I swear I could have started contractions if I had any more surprises that excited me that much! I headed toward my room but I could smell something like alcohol… In my mind I knew it couldn’t be, Gerard wouldn’t touch it at a time like this…

It smelt like it was coming from the bathroom, I knocked once on the door before pushing it open to see Gerard standing in front of the mirror holding a cloth to his cheek. “What’d you do and what smells like alcohol?” I questioned and took a step in.

   “Oh, I just cut my cheek a little while shaving so… I uh used some metho,” He shrugged and I narrowed my eyes slightly, it smelt a bit strong for metho… But Gerard wouldn’t be lying, and I knew he wasn’t drinking again because I would be able to smell it on him.

   “Okay babe, well I’m getting some sleep. I’ve been way too worked up.” I shrugged with a smile and kissed his lips briefly before slipping out of the bathroom.

Frank’s POV:

  I had the best sleep, knowing I was going to wake up and go to see Mikey. I was so fucking proud of him, little Mikey… Our little Mikey was finally engaged, he was finally doing what he needed and wanted to do.

As soon as I woke up I was getting dressed and helping Wren get the kids ready to go to Mikey’s place, I didn’t even freak out about seeing Bob.

We stopped at McDonalds and got some hot cakes for breakfast before we got to Mikey’s and I knocked loudly on the door. It was just past nine o’clock so I wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t awake yet- surprisingly the door opened only a minute later and Poppy smiled at me. Her hair was messy but she was in some black skinnies and a red shirt.

   “Frankie… Hey little guys,” she looked to Wren and they stared only for a second before Wren squealed and jumped at Poppy. I laughed before joining the hug, I heard Pansy and Percy click their tongues at us before heading right on in.

   “I can’t believe you two are finally engaged!” Wren giggled and hugged Poppy again, Poppy nodded with a wide smile, it was definitely the biggest I could remember.

   “I know… Gosh, come in.” She mumbled and we all headed in, Mikey was in the kitchen with Freddie on the counter who was trying to get down- for the first time ever I saw Mikey put down his coffee before he lifted Freddie off the counter and set him on the ground. We all paused for just as second and watched as Freddie, Pansy and Percy all raced outside to where Bob probably was.

   “Have you told him?” I asked and headed toward Mikey, before he got to his coffee again I had my arms around him. “God dude! It was about freaking time.” I laughed and I looked at Mikey who was smiling broadly and he laughed.

   “Yeah, we told him. He seems pretty excited too and has bagged doing the rings at the wedding.” Mikey shrugged and Wren’s eyes lit up as she and Poppy sat on the sofa.

   “Speaking of the wedding, when will that be?” She asked and both Poppy and Mikey shrugged.

   “Not sure Wren, remember, this only happened last night…” Poppy mumbled.

   “I know, I know… Didn’t you guys discuss it before going to bed or something?... Anyways, let’s see the ring!” Wren said with a shrug and Poppy blushed a little. She held out her hand and her ring finger had a piece of string on it. Wren stared for a second and narrowed her eyes slightly before both me and her looked at Mikey, “You didn’t get a ring?” I asked.

   “I didn’t have time… She suggested we use the string.” Mikey shrugged and I nodded slowly before smiling.

   “Okay, men and women separate chat.” I declared and Wren nodded before I pulled Mikey toward the hall. “You didn’t buy a ring?”

   “Nope, I wasn’t thinking of asking last night but we had this moment and we both told each other we loved each other at the same time…” Mikey shrugged and I smiled but sighed a little before patting his shoulder, I was going to have to help a little with the wedding plans.

Wren’s POV:

As soon as the guys were out of earshot I turned to Poppy, “So you didn’t discuss any wedding plans last night?” I questioned.

   “No… When we got home we were both tired after the party so we went to sleep.” She shrugged.

Oh lord. I knew that face, “Poppy! You didn’t even sleep in the same bed, did you?” I whined and Poppy nodded with a shrug, “Have you two done anything even slightly intimate yet?”

   “Not really… We’ve hugged?” Poppy mumbled and I sighed.

  “Poppy. As your sister I want you to make it your mission to kiss the man-”

   “Nah uh Wrennie, are you and Frank like family counsellors all of a sudden?” Poppy cut in.

   “Yes dear, that is exactly what we are so shut up and listen to our amazingly epic advice that will ensure that you two share a snog in no time.”
