You're Not in This Alone.

chapter 55

“We’re gonna have another baby?”

“Yeah.”

“Tax refund!” Ray shouted in the background.

“What the fuck is that?” Gerard asked.

“Inside joke,” I said. “Jordan asked where we went and I said the
first thing I thought of.”

“I gotta go. It’s almost show time here. Hang on. Hey guys! Lisa’s pregnant! You’re on speaker.”

“Congratulations!!”

“Thanks guys. Have a good show! Love you, Gerard!”

“Love you too.”

I hung up and went back downstairs. We didn’t do much else,
besides watch movies, and listen to Ana complain about getting fat.

“Ana, it comes off quickly,” I said, laughing.

“But I’ll be the only fat one.”

“No you won’t,” I said with a grin.

“Lisa!” Ana shouted.

“Yes, yes. Baby number two,” I said. “I went this morning and found
out.”

“Aww, Lisa!” I got buried in hugs.

“Does Gerard know?” Andrea asked.

“Yes. I told him via text message, then he called me. He’s excited.”

“We need to celebrate!” Alex went to grab drinks.

“Alex! Pregnant! Can’t drink,” Ana said.

“Coke!” She came back with a bottle of coke and glasses.

“I’m gonna go check on Jordan. I’ll be right back.” I ran upstairs to her room.

I stuck my head in and she appeared to be asleep. I went to close
the door.

“Mommy?”

“Yeah?” I went to sit by her.

“When’s daddy coming home?”

“Soon, sweetie. You miss him, don’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“Mommy misses him too.” I hugged her. “Hey, how would you feel if
you had a little brother or sister?”

“Why?”

“Because you might..”

“Huh?”

“Mommy might have a baby. Would you like hat?”

“Yeah!”

“Ok. Go back to sleep, sweetie. Love you.”

“Love you too.” She laid back down.

I pulled the blanket up and kissed her head.

“Mommy, can you sing the song? The Emily one?”

I smiled and sat.

“Smiles and her laughter, it’s the only thing that I’ve been waiting
for. Adore…Cause there’s no one in the world like my Jordan.”

She was asleep by the time I finished. I got up and headed out,
closing the door behind me. Then I felt a vibration in my pocket. It was a text from Gerard.

They’re extending the tour. Touring Asia.

How long?

Another month :(

Aww. Gonna miss my b-day?

I hope not. Love you.

Love you too.


Instead of going back downstairs-cause I didn’t wanna tell them-I went to my room and closed the door. I laid in bed and stared out the window. I hugged Gerard’s pillow, and took in his scent.

“I can’t wait another month,” I said to myself.

I sighed and curled up, falling asleep minutes later.
