A/N: Sorry for the wait.
The morning after I woke up from someone poking me. I opened my eyes to find Jenn staring at me, Ellie resting in her arms.
"Good morning doll" I said before yawning. I still had the feeling of sleep in my body so I rubbed my eyes and stretched a little.
"Good morning Frank" She said with the 'grown up tone' that children use sometimes. I had to retrain myself from laughing since Gerard was still sleeping soundly next to me. Oh God how beautiful he was when he was sleeping.
He lay on his stomach, his hair draped over half his face. His mouth was slightly open, and there was a small trail of drool running from one side of it down to the pillow.
"Want me to take her?" I asked Jenn, referring to Ellie. I could see she was struggling with her weight. Ellie was sucking on her thumb, and looked quite pleased. Jenn nodded and I held my arms out to relieve her of the burden of carrying her sister around.
"Breakfast?" I asked Jenn as I threw the covers from my legs and stood up, Ellie secured in my arms. Jenn nodded and I motioned for her to follow me out from the bedroom while talking to Ellie.

Four hours later my stomach was turning. I felt like I wanted to throw up, but not really. I mean, I was so nervous. My forehead was wet with sweat and my mouth dry. I felt Gerard give my hand a reassuring squeeze and I smiled gratefully at him.
We were sitting at the child services office. After we called in about Ellie and Jenn they ordered us to come there with the children. Riley wasn't back still, so they rushed things a little.
We just sat there, for hours. We didn't talk much, we had nothing to say. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. This was killing us, since we had no idea what was going to happen.
We could just hope that Ellie and Jenn would be alright.

"Dada"
"GERARD COME HERE SHE JUST SAID SOMETHING!"
Frank's voice brought me out from the book I had my nose buried in and my head jolted up so fast my brain wobbled around in my head… or not, whatever.
I threw the book aside and ran towards the kitchen. In there I found Frank sitting on a chair with Ellie on his lap. She was sucking on one of her fingers, and Frank was cooing her while patting her golden locks. With the breath caught in my throat I pulled up a chair next to Frank and took one of Ellie's small hands in mine.
"What did she say?" I asked, my eyes shining, just like Frank's. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"DADA!" He exclaimed and I gave out a shriek that matched his. "I was just putting on her socks and she said dada!" He continued and bumped her up and down on his lap a few times. Ellie stopped sucking on her fingers and instead started laughing as I ticked her.
"Dada" She giggled out and I choked on my laughter.
"SHE SAID IT TO ME TOO!"

It had been two months. Riley was still missing, and since Gerard and Frank had been planning on adopting anyway they wanted to take care of Jenn and Ellie. It was highly irregular for the agency to do something like that, but they made an exception since Jenn made clear to them that she refused to go somewhere else, or be parted from her sister.
Gerard and Frank had turned two of the bedrooms in to rooms for the kids. Jenn's room had white walls, with a red rose that Gerard drew for her. They had spent the last two months to decorate it the way she wanted it, and there were surprisingly many black things in there.
Jenn was the perfect kid for Gerard and Frank, and fell in love with their music from the first time she heard it. She had begged and begged for Frank to teach her how to play the guitar, and he promised to teach her. She had posters of bands on her walls, instead of princess posters like most girls her age had. She also loved the rest of the band. She drove Ray insane by chasing him around the room to pull his hair, much to the amusement of the rest of them.
Bob had spent hour after hour crawling around on all four with Ellie on his back. He also had to pretend to be a bear when Jenn wanted to play with him. Jenn had also forced Mikey to be a moose, something they all found quite funny.
The day after the adoption went through Gerard and Frank took the kids clothes shopping, and Jenn wanted a lot of black or red clothes. She wanted t-shirts with band logos instead of pink sweaters, and Gerard and Frank didn't mind that at all.
For Ellie they bought normal children's clothes, and also yellow paint for her room. So her baby room had yellow walls with a white ghost painted on the wall (made by Gerard of course). Jenn threw a tantrum when she saw the ghost, so Gerard had to paint one in her room too.
All in all they were the perfect match.
Jenn was back in school, and Gerard and Frank had taken some time off from the band to spend it with Ellie, since she was so young.

"Jenn, your sister said her first word today" Frank's enthusiastic voice reached her as soon as she stepped inside and she started jumping up and down with him. I stood and watched them with an amused smile on my face and Ellie in my arms.
"What did she say?" She yelled as she and Frank kept jumping up and down in excitement.
"Dada!" I said proudly and kissed Ellie's cheek, witch caused her to giggle and wriggle in my arms. She held a hand out and took a firm grip of my hair and pulled it lightly.
"Really?" Jenn said and stopped jumping. Suddenly she had a sad look on her face and she looked down on the floor. Frank noticed too the change in her mood so he stopped jumping and held a hand out and placed it on her shoulder. To our surprise she shook it off and ran upstairs, tears in her eyes.
Startled by her sudden change of mood I looked at Frank. He shared my look of surprise and then made for the stairs. I followed closely behind him with Ellie still secure in my arms. We reached her door and knocked on it, below the sign that said 'Residence of Jenn'.
"Go away!" Came her voice through the door, and my heart ached when I heard the tears on her voice. Instead of listening I motioned for Frank to open the door, which he did slowly.
She was lying on her bed with her face hidden in her pillow. Her brown hair draped over her back. Carefully we stepped over her messy floor towards her bed. She didn't like cleaning much, how many kids do? But I and Frank never argued with her about it. She cleaned when she deemed it was too messy and we were okay with that.
"Jenn, princess, what's wrong?" Frank said when we sat on her bed. She just sobbed, but didn't answer. Ellie was squirming in my arms and I could tell she wanted to be let down. So I set her down on the floor so she could crawl around on the floor. She found one of Jenn's stuffed animals and started sucking on its ear.
"You're breaking our hearts when you cry" I tried, placing a hand on her back. Finally she turned around and looked at us with her eyes filled with tears.
"You love her more then me don't you?" She said. I and Frank shook our heads together and we took one of her hands in ours.
"We love you the same" I said stroking her hand with mine.
"If that's true, can I call you dad?" She asked, her eyes looking hopeful. I and Frank started grinning madly and Frank nodded frantically. I laughed at the expression on his face, and Jenn joined in.
"I think that's a yes" I said and Frank huffed. He gave me a playful poke and stuck his tongue out at me. Ellie started 'talking' down on the floor and tugging on my pants so I bent down and picked her up.
"We'd love it if you call us dad" Frank said, still grinning stupidly. Jenn let out a relieved sigh and then threw herself on Frank. He laughed and hugged her back, and then she carefully hugged me so she wouldn't crush her sister.
"Now it's dinnertime missy" I said and kissed Jenn's cheek. She smiled and right then I felt like nothing could ever go wrong.
As we made our way downstairs so Frank and I could prepare dinner I kept thinking that this was as happy as I would ever be. I and Frank had a wonderful relationship, and we had two beautiful children to take care of.
Life was perfect, but it wouldn't always be.
Roses still have thorns.
A/N: So I skipped some time because I have no idea how you adopt kids or whatever. So yeah...
