Frerard's Daughter

Be Right Back

Age: 3 years
Hard time pronouncing: 'R' and 'M'

While on tour, I was on the tour bus couch, playing with Ray's hair and sucking on my black pacifier. I looked up and saw Gerard about to walk off the bus so I stumbled over to him and I wrapped my small body around his leg.

"Daddy?"
"Oh sorry baby girl. I gotta go with Daddy for a few minutes. Uncle Ray and Uncle Mikey are gonna watch you, okay?"
"No!"
"Baby I'll be right back."
"No."
Gee watched my (y/e/c) eyes fill up with water. He picked me up and bounced me in his arms.

"Nonono baby. No tears. Daddy'll be back before you know it. And I'll get you a treat if you're a good girl." He said.
"Ice cweam! Want ice cweam!" I said happily.
"Okay I'll get you ice cream. But you have to stay here with your uncles and be good. Can you do that for me?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Yeah we're gonna have fun! We can play games together. Would you like that?" Ray asked.
"Weally?" I asked.
"Yeah. Like we'll play, um, hide and seek?" Mikey added.
"Yay!" I screamed.
Gerard kissed me and handed me to Mikey while Ray stood behind him holding his shoulder.

"Hi uncle wikey."
"Hi baby girl. What's up?" Mikey asked.
"Nuffin."
"How long is the interview?" Ray asked.
"About half an hour. She just ate so you should be fine. But just in case, there's apple juice and cheese doodles in the fridge."
"Apple juice!" I said.
"And if--"
"Babe we gotta go!" Frank shouted from off the bus.
"Coming! If you need anything, Mikey knows what to do. But other than that, just call us if any--"
"Gerard!" Frank called.
"Hold on! Bye sugar. Be a good girl."

He kissed me and ran off the bus. Ray lifted me up and played with me. When he put me down on the couch, I started to squirm in place.
"What's the matter?" Mikey asked.
"Potty." I whimpered.

"Who do you want to go with you?" Ray asked.
"I want uncle wikey to take me."

I pointed to Mikey and grabbed his hand. He walked me to the bathroom and helped me on the toilet. He stood right outside the door and told me to let him know when I was done. When I finished, he picked me up to wash my hands then he took me out the bathroom.

"Uncle way! Uncle way! I went potty all by wyself!" I said happily.
"You did? No way." Ray said sounding shocked.
"I did, I did! Wight uncle wikey?"
"That's right you did. Like a big girl." Mikey said.
"Can we play hide and seek, uncle way?"
"Sure baby." Ray said.
"You know how to play, don't you?" Mikey asked.
"Uh-huh uh-huh!"
"Good, uncle Ray will count. Let's go hide."

I nodded my head and reached up to grab Mikey's finger. Ray turned around while Mikey helped me into his bunk. He sat next to me and closed the curtain. He put his fingers to his lips and shushed me.
"Eight! Nine! Ten! Ready or not, here I come!"

Ray first looked in his bunk. Then Gerard's then Frank's but didn't find us.

"I wonder where (y/n) and Mikey went. I hope they're in Mikey's bunk...." Ray said opening the curtain.
Ray gasped as I giggled like crazy.

"Yay! You found us uncle way!" I yelled.
"Inside voices, sweetheart." Mikey said standing up.
"Sowwy. Yay you found us uncle way." I whispered.
They looked at each other and laughed.

"Do you wanna play again or do you wanna do something else?" Ray asked.
"I wanna watch cawtoons. Please?"
"Okay baby." Mikey said standing up.

I ran to the couch while Mikey got the remote and searched through channels. He heard me start to whine behind him and ran over to me.
"Baby what's wrong? I thought you wanted to watch TV." Mikey asked.
"Uncle wikey can I have apple juice?" I asked.
"Ray can you get--"
"On it." Ray cut off Mikey.

Ray sat next to me and handed me my purple sippy cup full of apple juice. I took it and rested my head on his lap while Mikey sat on the other side of me. I started to get sleepy but I tried to fight the urge to close my eyes to be able to watch TV. Soon, my grip loosened on my sippy cup and Mikey took it before it fell. Ray put my pacifer in my mouth and rubbed my back as I finally fell asleep.

Mikey leaned his head on Ray's shoulder over me and kissed Ray's cheek. Ray turned his head and they kissed before Mikey fell asleep on his shoulder. Ray then rested his head on Mikey's and fell asleep. When Frank and Gerard came back, they saw us all knocked out on the couch with the TV still on.

They chuckled softly to each other. Frank put me in his bunk and laid next to me while Gerard turned off the TV. Gerard laid next to me, closer to the edge of the bed but I started to stir in the middle of them but he rubbed my back, calming me down.

"G'night Gee." Frank whispered.
"G'night Frankie."
They drifted off to sleep.
