Why me? (MCR)

Chapter 36

Frank's p.o.v.
When I seen my supposedly 'lost' baby niece, I nearly cried. She was beautiful. She has hazel/green eyes, dark brown hair and she seems to be perfectly healthy. I almost can't believe that she's actually our family.

Siren came in and found me holding Amber in my arms and gave a confused glance. Gerard explained everything to her with James and how he had a plot and crap like that. When he finished I said, "So Siren, meet our 2 month old niece Amber Elise Way."

She put a hand up to her mouth and gasped, shocked that something like this could happen. "You wanna hold her?" I asked quietly, glancing at Gerard & Jade who were smiling encouragingly. Siren nodded excitedly, "Of course!"

She took Amber in her arms and glanced down at her, smiling and talking to her. I smiled at the sight and then remembered something. "Oh, you guys guess what? You missed some news." They glanced at us questioningly, silently asking what it is. Siren looked up and said, "Yeah. They said since I was at the four month mark they could tell us what we're having."

She smiled, looking between Jade and Gerard, "We're gonna have a baby girl!" Jade smiled and congratulated us, Gerard doing the same once he got over the shock of it.

"Any name suggestions? We wanna get this out of the way ASAP." Siren asked, smiling apologetically. "Um, sure," Jade said. She thought for a second before snapping her fingers and saying, "What about Ivy Elizabeth?" Ivy Elizabeth Iero, I thought. I like the way the names fit together.

I looked at Siren to see what she thought and she agreed, smiling. "I guess you just took care of that for us," she laughed, "Thanks."

A few hours later, they had to go home because it was getting late and it had been a long day. "Call us if you need anything," I told Jade as I hugged her and Amber goodbye. "I will, I promise."

Jade's p.o.v.
When we got home, I took Amber to her room --nursery-- and placed her in the crib gently. I just stood there for a second, gazing down at my -our- daughter.

I still can't believe it. We saved her from James. Two people we thought we'd lost. "Jadie?" Gerard called softly, "Are you ok?" He asked as he stepped into the room, concern clouding his expression. I nodded and gave a smile before turning back to Amber. "It's just a lot to take in. I mean, we spent two months thinking she was gone and now we've got 7 months until we've got another baby."

He nodded, hugging my waist from behind, "I know it is. Trust me. Tonight has been the worst and the best night of my life. Worst because I had to do this but also best because we got our daughter back safely." I turned so that I was facing him and slipped my arms around his neck, "I understand. But how about we go to sleep now? We might not get as much of that with a baby in the house."

Gee laughed, "Yeah, ok, you're probably right." We headed to our room after telling Amber goodnight even though she was already asleep.

I crawled into the bed first, feeling Gerard get in on the other side. I scooted closed to him and wiggled around until I finally got settled and then fixed the covers on us. He smiled and said, "Even after all we've been through today, and how exhausted you -we- are, you still have time to go through the nightly ritual of getting situated."

I laughed, "Yep, that's true. Night Gee, I love you." He smiled in the darkness and slid an arm around my waist, pulling me closer. "Night, love you too." Just before I fell asleep, I curled up into his chest, putting my head in the crook of his neck.

It was about 2:15 in the morning when Amber first woke us up. I told Gerard I would get her, we agreed we'd take turns. I got out of the bed and went into the nursery and picked her up, rocking her gently and humming to try and calm her down.
