Loving a Gallagher (A Shameless Lip Fanfiction)

Daddy who?

I couldn't keep my legs still as they were shaking not knowing what was about to happen to me as I sat in the custody of the Chicago P.D. holding cell. My hands were shakey and I felt like I was going to throw up with this huge knot feeling i had in stomach. "Phillips Gallagher" a woman officer said as she looked through the side of the cell waiting for one of us delinquents to answer. "Here", I raised my hand "that's me" I said nervously. You posted bail, come with me she said as my nervous body stood up and followed her to grab my things. "You're free to go" the woman officer said to me, "I don't wanna see you again" she said as I nodded "absolutely" I agreed and shoved the items I had with me into my pocket and threw on my coat. As I walked through the double doors I saw my family standing leaned up against the car. Clarissa with Brayden, Fiona, Ian, Debbie, Carl and little Liam along with V and Kevin. What's going on guys... I said "did you all bail me out?" I asked and everyone well adult wise shook there head and said yes. As I walked closer to Clarissa who was so happy to see me she was smiling and crying holding baby Brayden who seemed to be in a good mood he was grinning ear to ear. She grabbed my face "Don't ever do that to me again" she said as tears rolled down her face. I nodded and wiped the tears away from her cheeks. "Thanks guys" I said turning around to face all of them. I know I almost screwed up big time I say not proud of the fact I landed in jail for my actions weeks away from graduation but there's only so much someone can take and that was it. I couldn't let Frank get away with things anymore. "Just promise us, you'll steer clear of Frank from here on out" Fiona stepped in and said. I could tell they were happy to see me but also a little aggravated that i almost caused my future well not just mine, Clarissa and Brayden's too. I shook my head and lit a cigarette Ian handed me "No problem".
Okay who's all ready to head to the house and eat some pizza Fiona raised her hand to get attention and said. Everyone including V and Kev hopped in the car and were fixing to head to the house. "We'll be right behind you guys" I shouted to Fiona. "Ya sure it's pretty windy out, and she didn't bring the stroller" Fiona mummers. "Nah its okay, I'll carry the little guy" okay she said see ya there. "Are you okay" I asked Lip as we started walking down the road. "Yeah, ..Yeah I'm fine just feel a little shitty is all". Holding Brayden on his shoulder rubbing his back softly, he had already fallen asleep. "I take it he missed you" I chuckled .. "Yeah, I guess he did Lip smiled, I missed you both even if it was for 48 hours" trying not to tear up again. Lip grabbed my hand and held on to it tightly. "Why'd ya do it?" I asked Lip who was obviously trying to avoid the whole ordeal because he wasn't proud of it. "I don't have an excuse as to why I did it other than revenge.... I should have put you two first instead of acting like a raging ego maniac and I'm sorry".. Lord knows I knew better I mean what was I thinking stooping to Franks low. I had a great girlfriend whom I still needed to propose to, that I somehow forgot in the midst of everything caused by Frank, a healthy son who needed me just as much as Clarissa and the rest of the family did. And an actual shot at a future with my own family, definitely not something worth screwing up on Frank's behalf. "I love you, Risa" I said as we reached the block before ours as we stopped. "It was dumb of me to try and break into those vehicles, I honestly thought I wouldn't get caught and if I would have had time I could have planted the items I broke into them on Frank, hell I mean all someone has to do is tip off Frank he is the town drunk". That's not the point tho, she said to me looking at me with those green eyes, the ones that made you feel like you let her down just a whole lot.. I know, I was just angry imagine if the police had found that heroin on me he put in my school backpack imagine the days, months, years I would have been locked up. "I didn't say he was in the right ether, Lip" she said still looking at me with those eyes... "I know, I know I don't know what came over me all I know is that I'm sorry and it won't happen again".. Sighing at me the longer she looked at me I could tell she was still aggravated but she somewhat smiled I think mostly to hold back the tears that were clearly flooding her eyes. I caressed her shoulder with my hand running it up and down her right arm since my other arm was preoccupied by Brayden, I'm sorry babe I know I sound like a broken record but I am sorry and I know I'm a class A screw up but Frank makes it so hard sometimes, I don't want to become my father I said chattering my teeth together not about to break down right here. "I love you and I never would do anything intentional to harm our life or our families".. I just wish Frank was dead as sad as that is to say about your own father, Lip looked up at me with those pouty lips and blue eyes. "Hey, I know my dads an asshole too but we have a second chance here let's not become our worst enemies, our fathers" I nodded and gave her a hug as we got to the steps of Fiona's house. "Let's worry about today" I said my head against hers running my finger across her lips. As Brayden woke up his crying maximized by being so close to my ear. "Oh no, I said let's not cry no bouncing him in the air let's go get you a fresh diaper and see your aunts and uncles!" Lip gasped as we walked inside to find everyone eating together,joking around and just enjoying being a family life was good we were lucky to have this support system in our lives this was our happy place.
