We get downstairs and see Sheila scrubbing the floor. "Hey." Carl says. "Hay is for horses." Shelia says not even facing us. "Huh?" Carl asks. She stops and turns around and looks at me and Carl and says, "Can I help you with something?"

"Come with us." I say as I start to walk to where Frank was laying unconscious. We get there and she just stares at him.

"Oh, my." She finally says.

"Yeah." Carl says.

"Well, you two grab his feet and I'll grab the top end." Shelia says. All three of us struggle to get Frank into the bathroom and into the bathtub. We finally get him in and run the water. We give him a bath and two more but he still looks and smells disgusting.

"Should we give him another bath?" Carl suggests.

"Well, that's three already and we're running out of soap." Shelia says. She looks at Carl and gives him a small smile.

Me and Carl sit on the porch steps and look straight ahead.

"I'm sorry about your dad." I say.

"Don't be. He's always been like this and you know it." He says. I scoot closer to him and he leans his head on my shoulder. As we sit there a car pulls up and Fiona gets out. She waves goodbye to Mike, who was driving the car, and turned to us.

"You guys get something to eat?" Fiona says. We just stay in our position. "What?" She says. We just get up and she knows to follow us. We get to wear Frank is and she says, "No. Fuck, no."

"Tony brought him back. He's been sleeping the whole time." I say.

"I tried to wake him but he's out cold." Carl says. Fiona shakes her head.

"Believe me, he's not sleeping." Fiona says. She stares at Frank for a moment and then says, "Great. Now this? Needles?" She turns around and starts to walk out.

"He's really sick." I say, she keeps walking.

"Oh, he's sick, all right." Fiona says. I turn to Carl and say, "I gotta get home, see ya later." He nods and I kiss his cheek and he smirks. I walk down the stairs and grab my coat and head out the door to my house. I walk in and I look to see my dad putting away his coat.

"Hey, where were you?" He asks.

"The Gallagher's helping Carl with Frank." I say he nods and ruffles my hair.

"Go get some rest you have school tomorrow." Dad says. I nod and go to my room and immediately fall asleep.

I wake up to the sound of V vomiting. I walk out my room and see dad standing by the door.

"I'm gonna go make V some tea, stand by the door and make sure she's okay." Dad says. I nod and open the door. "Hey V." I say.

"Hey, baby." She says as she sits on the toilet.

"Grandma coming over today?" I ask. She shakes her head.

"No, she's gotta stay home for the baby." V says. She stops for a moment and looks at me. I immediately know what she's thinking so I walk over to the shelf and grab a pregnancy test. I hand it to her and she pees on it. We wait a minute and then she says, "You gotta be shitting me."

"Yes, I get to have two siblings." I say. I was about to walk out the door to get ready for the day when V stops me and says, "Don't tell your dad, I want to." I nod and leave the bathroom.

I walk over to the bus stop and wait for Carl. I waited and waited but He never came so I went on the bus and went to school without him.

School finally finished so when I got home I went to go take a nice long nap. When I woke up I looked in the living room to see if my parents where home. Neither of them were there so I got my coat and started walking to walk to the Gallagher's. I get there and see Dad and V on the couch.

"Hey, kid." Dad says and scoots over so that I could sit down with them. I sit and we all just watch TV. As we watch we hear the door open and I turn and see Debbie. She fast walks upstairs and we all say Hi. We sit for a minute longer and V says, "I'm pregnant." Dad looks at her and says "What? I thought you just said you're pregnant." She turns to look at him.

"I did." She says. He looks at her shockingly and says, "Holy shit are you serious?"

"Yes, but we shouldn't get our hopes up." V says. Dad looks at me and says, "You're getting two siblings." "I know." I said and he hugged me and V and smiled like an idiot.
