Story Of My Life (Book Three in the Peterick Mpreg Series)

Right Round (Gerard's POV)

Today is by far one of the best days of my life. I asked Emily out and she said yes! Even though I've never really seen her too too much, every time we'd talk or text, I get drawn to her and feel connected. I don't know how to explain it, it's weird. I'm also glad that Pete nor Patrick freaked out on her about this.

I also never knew that Emily had such an amazing voice! Sure, she called me and sang for me, but that doesn't live up to hearing it live! She's freaking amazing! But honestly, I think that's kind of an understatement... I don't even know if there's a word to describe how great she is.

"You did such an amazing job out there, beautiful!" I said to Emily as everyone walked away again.

"Thanks," she said as she smiled.

"You look so natural up there," I stated. "Like you were meant to be onstage performing."

"A lot of people have been telling me that actually," she said as she chuckled.

"Well, then it's gotta be true!" I said as I laughed.

"Smartass," she said as she smiled and hugged me.

"You've got about two minutes until it's you're turn with Panic!, Emily!" Charlie yelled.

"Thanks Charlie!" she said as she waved at him.

"Just a busy, busy girl!" I said, making her laugh.

"I can't help it!" she said.

"That's ok," I said. "That's just that many more times I can hear your amazing voice."

"Aww," she said, and even though it was dark, I could tell she was blushing. "I hate when you do that."

"What? Make you look adorable?" I asked.

"God, stop!" she said as she hugged me again.

"Never," I said as I smiled and hugged her back tightly.

"Thirty seconds!" Charlie shouted.

"I gotta go!" Emily said.

"Good luck, gorgeous!" I said as I let go of her hand as she walked away.

I watched her run to stage right and grab her mic. Panic! was already out there and I could hear Brendon talking and acting all weird, you know, like he normally is. It made me laugh actually.

"Yo, Emily! Get your ass out here!" I hear Brendon say into the mic.

"Coming!" I saw Emily say as she ran out onstage.

"Lets hear it for Emily again! Wonderful daughter of Pete and Patrick! Who wants her to sing some songs with us tonight?!" Brendon said.

The crowd went absolutely insane, which made me smile. I could spend the rest of my life listening to Emily sing.

"Good! Because she's joining is for a few song tonight! First off, we're going to play an older one! Hope you guys like it!" Brendon said.

"Things are shaping up to be pretty odd! Little deaths in musical beds! So it seems of someone I've never met! You will only hear these elegant crimes, fall on your ears from criminal dimes. They spill unfound from a pretty mouth," Brendon sang.

As Emily started singing, a smile grew on my face again. I stood there listening to her, but then got snapped out of my daze seconds later by someone tapping my shoulder.

"Shit!" I shouted as I jumped. "Oh geez. Hey Patrick."

"I'm sorry I scared you," he said as he laughed.

"It's ok," I said as I chuckled. "What's going on?"

"Just wanted to talk," Patrick said.

"Shoot," I said as I smiled.

"Look, as you know, Pete and I are ok about you and Em, but if you hurt her in anyway, you'll regret it," Patrick said, which honestly kind of scared me because I hadn't really ever seen this side of him.

"Trust me, that's the last thing I'd do. I don't want to hurt her," I said nervously.

"Good. You'd better treat her well and with respect," he said. "She deserves it. You'd better support her too."

"I will, trust me," I said. "She's an amazing young woman and I'd do anything to make her happy."

"Good," Patrick said. "Pete doesn't know I'm talking to you about this, so just a warning, he'll probably talk to you about the same thing eventually."

"Thanks for the warning," I said as I smiled.

"No problem. It's great seeing you again, by the way!" Patrick said.

"Yeah, you too! And hey, Emily told me that you and Pete are expecting again?" I said.

"Yup! I went to the doctor a few days before we left for the tour without telling Pete. Our doctor confirmed it again and then I went home and decided not to tell him until earlier today, while everyone was around to hear it too. I couldn't be happier," he explained.

"Aww, I'm happy for you guys," I said as I hugged him.

"Thanks, man," he said as he hugged back. "Well, the song is just about done, so I'll leave you alone while you wait for Em."

"Alright," I said as I chuckled.
