Twins (Frank Iero x Reader)

Sad Truth

Y/N POV

After a few hours, Frank and his kids had left. All four of them hugged and thanked me before doing so, the hug with Frank lasting a little bit longer.

"Mommy, guess what Cherry told me!" Katarina said.

"What, honey?" I asked as I got her pajamas out.

"Her mommy is up in heaven too! Maybe her and daddy are best friends like we are!" My eyes began to tear up and I turned away from her. I try so hard to hide the sadness from them.

"I'm sure they are, love. Why don't you, uh, why don't you get changed for bed, okay? Mommy has to use the bathroom." I quickly walked out of the room and into the bathroom. I let the tears flow freely then. Its been so long, but it still feels like yesterday. The pain has subsided a little, but it's times like these that get me. They barely knew their father.

It makes me wonder what happened to Frank's wife, though I'd never ask. I know first hand how touchy the subject can be. I removed the now-running makeup off of my face, brushed my teeth, and put my hair up.

Although we had enough rooms in the house, the twins still shared a room. They were too afraid to be alone at night, so we just used Jas's future bedroom as a playroom. I walked into their room and tucked both of them in.

"I love you both so much." I said as I kissed them both on their small heads. "Sleep well, my loves." I turned off their big light, leaving only their nightlight on, and walked back to my room. I couldn't help but wonder what Frank was doing right now.

I slipped on my pajamas, consisting of shorts and a loose tank top, and climbed into bed. I decided to sit up and read until I felt tired enough to sleep.

Frank POV

Miles had fallen asleep as soon as we got home, so I'd have to give him his bath in the morning. I had just finished getting the girls bathed and dressed when Cherry tugged on my hand.

"What's up, honey?" I asked. She smiled a little and began talking.

"So Kat and I were talking at her house when you and Y/N were helping Lily and I founded out that her dad is up in heaven with mommy! That means mommy isn't alone, right? She has a best friend like how you and Y/N are best friends and like all of us are!" She beamed. Her and her sister were too young to understand what death was when their mother died while giving birth to Miles.

I choked up a little, but quickly pushed the pain down. I'd let it out later, when they're asleep. I miss Jamia every single day, but I stay strong. What saddens me most is the fact that Miles never got to meet his mother.

"Yeah, that's right." I whispered as I faked a smile. "Go get into bed, I'll be there in a minute."

She left the room and I finished cleaning up the bathroom, my mind wandering to Y/N. I was curious, but I wouldn't let curiosity get the best of me. I wouldn't ask. If she wanted to tell me on her own, I'd accept it. I don't want to cause her the same pain I feel.

I walked back to the girls' room and tucked them in. Cherry had already fallen asleep, which left only Lily awake. I kissed Cherry's forehead, then went over and did the same to Lily. before I could walk away, she grabbed my hand and looked up at me.

"Daddy, I have a question." She whispered.

"What is it, bug?" She motioned for me to come closer to her. Apparently it's a secret question. As I put my ear closer to her, she whispered something I never thought I would hear her say.

"Will Y/N be our new mommy? I like her a lot and I miss having a mommy. I mean, I love you, but you're a daddy, not a mommy." I didn't know how to respond, so I just stood there for a minute.

"I don't know, honey, but I'm sure she'll be your friend no matter what." Probably not my best response, but I couldn't leave her hanging forever. "Get some sleep. I love you."

She whispered a quick 'love you too' and I left the room.

I laid down in my bed. It felt so empty. Three years of emptiness. I felt a stray tear run down my face as I looked at Jamia and I's wedding picture. Don't get me wrong, I've never been more thankful for the children she's given me. They are my reason for living and I love them with all of my heart and soul, but why did she have to die?

The world is a cruel place, but Lily's question still lingered in my mind as I drifted to sleep.
