It's freezing outside and the only thing I was wearing was a light purple knit sweater. Of course I'd go. It's Mikey fucking Way after all. My vans shuffled on the sidewalk as I made my walk downtown towards Jinx. 

Meadowville was as bland as bland could be. I truly believe Antarctica is more populated. The name itself is bland. Meadowville? But somehow, it was in little Meadowville that the Way's find themselves and it was in little Meadowville that the next Way would be born. 

I stopped as I approached the door. The daunting door of the coffee house, the smell of coffee makes me want to puke. But I peruse, and pull open the damned thing. I'm pregnant, not dying. I shouldn't act so dreary.  Mikey has to know. He's going to be an uncle, he has to know.

The green rug says welcome and as I look up I see Jinx ringing up the bill for a tall man. As her and I make eye contact she makes wild hand signals. The man turns round in confusion and it is the Way himself. In the flesh. 

I don't waste anytime. "Hi Mikey, right?" 

"Yes-? Would you like a picture or an autograph or-?" He looks down and fishes in his pocket for, what I assumed, was money. I don't know if I was too starstruck or in awe, but I didn't reply. I just stood there with my mouth open and Jinx sighing in defeat. 

Mikey just chuckled. "Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to, uh, come off, you know, cocky. It's just I figured, er, I'm in a band- and I thought-"

"I love My Chem don't worry." He sighed in relief. 

"Anyway what can I do for you?" He questioned.

"It's about your brother- Gerard. It's sort of important."

"Gerard's been off the deep end lately. I don't know there is much I can do, but he is getting help. I don't think fans getting involved will help at all however." After mentioning Gerard, it was as though a wall made of brick went up. No longer was Mikey open to discuss and chat. He was stoic and cold as he handed Jinx a crumbled ball of cash and headed out the door.

"Wait Mikey, please. I was at a bar with Gerard one night and - oh god this is gonna sound impossible but-"

He met my eye. "What?"

I gestured towards my protruding stomach. 

Mikey narrowed his eyes in disbelief and said again, barely above a whisper. "What?"
