Frerard - Free Now (Null Trilogy Part 2)

Part 7

I gasped, swaying slightly. "Y-You're pregnant? Really?"

Gerard nodded shyly. "Is that okay?" He asked carefully, looking down briefly. I grabbed him by the shoulders so he would look up at me, leaning back to sign.

"It's more than okay! This is amazing! We're gonna be parents!" I beamed wide and grabbed him into a hug. I felt his merry laughter vibrate through me, and my heart soared. I leant back once more. "Gee!" I exclaimed through signs. "We have to take you for a scan!"

Gerard smiled at my protectiveness and rolled his eyes. "I already went last week, because my stomach hurt. Turns out both me and Mikey can get pregnant. It must be a genetic thing."

"Yeah," I signed, nodding along. "Have any of your family ever been gay before?"

Gerard shook his head. "Not that I know of. That means the gift may always have been there, passed down through generations, but we never knew because they...well, they'd never had anal sex."

"Or, it could be a freak coincedence." I shrugged. "Either way...you're freaking pregnant, Gee!"

"I know," he signed. I watched him giggle and I smiled, hugging round his waist tightly and kissing his head sweetly. When I leant back, I kissed him gently. Gerard smirked against my lips.

"You do know what this means, right?"

"What?" I signed with a small frown. Gerard's smirk widened.

"Morning sickness. Cramps. You obliging to my every demand because I'm vulnerable. And of course, no sex until the baby's born."

My mouth dropped open. "No fair!" I signed quickly.

"Of course it's fair. You get a son or a daughter in return of a few months' hard work and sexual restraint." He paused in his signings. "Speaking of which...do you want a boy or a girl?"

I hummed. "Either would be nice. But I'd love a little princess. I could dress her up in pretty skirts and dresses and braid her hair..." I sighed dreamily.

"Me too," Gerard seemingly sighed. "We should start thinking of some names for both genders."

"Oh? We have a long time, don't we?" I inquired.

"Well, yeah, I guess so. But we do need to find names we both agree on. I'm four and a half months in." Gerard announced.

"Aww! That means she'll be kicking soon!" I motioned, holding back a squeal just in case it came out as something completely different. I didn't want to sound like a dying seal.

"Yeah, I know! Oh, Frankie, I'm so excited." He smiled even wider while lifting his shirt to show me his small bump. I gasped and stroked it gently. Gerard's giggle ran through me.

"So you're four an a half months in? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I questioned curiously.

"Well, I had no idea for a long time, because the bump hadn't come up and I only had morning sickness very rarely," he began explaining. I nodded, remembering the two or three times I'd woken up to the sound of my husband wretching. "I think I hit three months when I started to get a little more than worried. My bump started to show. At first I told myself I was just getting fat, but  my morning sickness go worse. I had to keep going to the downstairs bathroom to throw up so I wouldn't wake you. When it didn't clear up, I decided to go to the doctors. And boom, turns out I'm pregnant."

I smiled at how gay that final sentence was. I kissed him gently. "I'm so excited...I honestly can't believe it. Have you told Mikey?" Despite my questioning, I knew he would have.

"Of course. I went to him straight after the doctors - it was the time I said I was going to the shop and took about three hours to come back - and he tried to calm me down. I was freaking out because I didn't know how to tell you. I had no idea how you'd react," Gerard admitted.

"But you knew I always wanted a baby. And I didn't react badly when I found out about Mikey." I frowned.

"I know. I guess it was just the hormones the doctor injected me with to help my pregnancy come along naturally. And yeah, I was sobbing at the needle."

I clicked my tongue and nodded. "Makes sense. So...what do we do now?"

"We wait," Gerard signed. "But Frankie... we have to make our time spent waiting worthwhile."

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to have your hearing back before the baby is born...I want you to hear her first cry. And if that's not possible...then soon after she's born." Gerard lifted his chin. "Your father will not stop me."

I sighed softly. "But what if he hurts you? Or the baby?"

"Let him try. You will get your hearing back, no matter what it takes."

I nodded and kissed his cheek. "I really wanna hear your voice..."

"You will, Frankie," Gerard promised. "You will."
