I went to get out of the car when my grandpa stopped me. I've had so much fun this weekend. I've gone over every week and I was sad because the summer was almost over.

"Frankie, we wanted to ask you something," my grandpa said.

I looked at them curiously and they all had big smiles on their faces.

"We were wondering if you would move in with us?" My aunt asked.

I felt my heart stop for a moment as I stared at all of them in shock.

"R-really?" I squeaked.

"Yeah, Frankie, we love you and we want to be able to spend more time with you before you go off to college," my grandpa said.

"Oh, it'll be so fun," Clarissa said. "We can paint our nails all the time and do each other's makeup."

"I-I don't know," I whimpered nervously.

I loved them so much and I always had so much fun with them. But I also loved my family here in Belleville. I don't want one family to think I don't love them just because I choose the other.

"We aren't expecting an answer right now," my grandpa said with a small chuckle. "You take all the time you need, talk it over with your family."

I nodded, grabbing my bag as I got out of the car. Gerard always waits for me by the front door when I come home to give me a big hug. But today he didn't give me a hug when he saw the look on my face.

"What's wrong?" He asked, holding my hand.

"They asked me to move in with them," I whispered.

A looked flashed across his face before he quickly blinked it away. Was he hurt or happy? If I knew then it'd be easier to make a decision.

"Baby boy, that's great!" He cheered.

I shrugged, my eyes watering.

"What's wrong?" Gerard asked.

"I-I don't know what to do," I whimpered. "What do I do?"

Gerard sighed quietly, pulling me into his chest as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"Button, I can't make this decision for you," he said.

Sniffled quietly and we sat down on the couch.

"Where's mom and Mikey?" I asked.

"They're at a charity thing again," Gerard said. "I stayed home so I could be here when you got here."

I nodded, resting my head against his shoulder sadly.

"I don't like making big boy decisions," I said.

"Then how about we go play dress up instead," Gerard suggested.

I gasped and picked my head up as I nodded. I loved playing dress up with Gerard but he only played with me when I was really sad about something. It's so much fun and I think Gerard has fun too, even though he tries to hide it.

I pulled his hand and dragged him upstairs. I grabbed my dress that was at the back of my closet. I had ordered it online a while ago but it ended up coming too big, although I found out it fit Gerard and that made me so happy. It was pastel pink with spaghetti straps and white polka boys.

Gerard took off his clothes to just his boxers, putting on the dress. He pulled a face at his reflection in the mirror as he sat down in the desk chair. I giggled happily, grabbing my makeup bag. I straddled his hips, opening the bag.

"Daddy, stop scrunching up your face," I said as I brushed some powder onto his nose.

Gerard sneezed and I giggled.

"Daddy, icky!" I exclaimed as I laughed.

"Sorry, baby," he apologized.

I kept applying makeup, picking up my eyeshadow pallet.

"Do you want blue or pink?" I asked.

"How about just a neutral color?" He suggested.

"Purple!" I cheered. "Close your eyes."

Gerard sighed quietly but didn't argue as he closed his eyes. I brushed the makeup over his skin and smiled. Gerard was always so pretty. He had this pale skin that always looked so nice, but I also have skin that's tanner than his. So my foundation looks a little funny on him, his face is more tan than the rest of his body.

"Oh, daddy, you look so pretty," I said as I used my liquid eyeliner to give him the best eyeliner wings I could.

I grabbed my mascara and he sighed.

"Button, do we have to?" He groaned.

"You already said I could," I stated. "You can't back out now. Don't worry, I have makeup remover this time."

Gerard sighed quietly and let me put it on him. I grabbed my pink lipgloss. Gerard opened his mouth slightly and I spread it over his lips.

"There we go!" I explained. "All pretty daddy! Now we need to do your hair!"

I put a bunch of bows and flower clips into his black hair.

"All done!" I cheered.

Gerard smiled softly at me, rubbing my back.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

"I gotta get dressed too," I said.

I changed into my prettiest dress and put all my makeup on. Gerard helped to put bows into my short hair, clipping my fringe back with a pretty pink bow.

"Daddy, look how pretty we are," I said.

Gerard groaned quietly, hiding his face when I tried to take a picture. I giggled when I saw that I managed to get a picture.

"We're like princesses going to a fancy ball," I said.

I twirled so my dress fanned out around me but Gerard refused to spin too.

"I think you make such a pretty princess, daddy," I said.

He pouted quietly as the door opened. My mom laughed when she saw Gerard and that only made him scowl more.

"Mommy," I said sadly.

"What's wrong?" She asked, sitting on the bed.

"My family asked me if I want to move in with them," I said.

She blinked a couple times as she stared at me. "Oh."

"Are you upset?" I asked nervously.

"No, of course not," my mom denied. "I mean, yeah I'll be sad to see you leave the house but it was going to happen eventually. And you're gonna go live with your other family and you'll be able to get to know them better. But you're still my son and I will love you forever."

My eyes watered as I nodded and she hugged me.

"And whichever house you pick I will support you," she said.

"Thank you," I said.

My mom smiled and stood up.

"Alright, my two princesses, I'm going to go start dinner," she said.

She walked out and Gerard rubbed my back softly.

"C'mon, Button," he said. "Let's go get some ice cream."

I helped him to take off his makeup and he took off his dress, changing back into his hoodie and jeans. We went downstairs and grabbed some small bowls of ice cream before going back to our room. I sat on his lap and Gee rubbed my back softly as we ate.

"This ice cream doesn't even make me happy," I said. "I don't want it."

"Are you okay?" Gerard asked, feeling my forehead. "Where's the real Frankie? My Button would never deny ice cream."

My lip started quivering and Gerard set our bowls aside.

"I'm sorry, baby, I'm just joking," he said. "Don't cry, sweetheart."

I whimpered quietly and he kissed my forehead.

"You don't have to eat the ice cream if you don't want to," he said. "We can do something else if you want. I started a new comic, I can let you read the pages I have."

I shook my head softly and he sighed. Gerard laid down, pulling me with him so my head rested on his chest and he ran his fingers through my hair. And then he started singing and I cried. I've always loved his singing and I missed it so much. He was singing Amazing Grace and that made me cry even harder.

Gerard and I used to always sing Amazing Grace when we were little. Our grandpa taught it to us and we would stand on the coffee table to put on shows for our mom and grandparents. Amazing Grace was always my favorite.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now...I see," Gerard sang.

"Daddy, I love you so much," I sobbed.

He kissed the top of my head, holding me close.

"Please don't stop singing," I begged.

Gerard kept singing different little songs until I felt my eyelids grow heavy. I sighed quietly, his arms wrapped around me tight. I felt so warm and safe here with him. Maybe I shouldn't go, I would miss him too much. I wouldn't get my hugs and kissies whenever I want and I wouldn't get to cuddle with him when I go to sleep.

But I also don't wanna upset my real family. And I want to spend more time with them too and living with them seems like so much fun. I love them so much and I really do want to live with them. But I also wanna live with my family. All this thinking was making my head hurt.

"Would you be sad if I moved in with them?" I asked.

"Little Button, I don't want to influence you," he said. "You have to decide for yourself."

"Daddy," I whimpered. "I don't like making big boy decisions,"

"I know you don't, princess," he said. "but you're gonna have to do this for yourself. And no matter what you choose, everyone will still love you just the same."

"You will too?" I asked.

"Of course I will," Gerard stayed. "You're my little Button and nothing in the entire world could ever possibly change that. I love you with my entire being, you're the reason I wake up smiling every morning and go to sleep smiling every night."

My eyes watered as I hugged him tight. Gerard loves me so much, I bet it would upset him if I left. Maybe I should stay here for him. I love him too, I'd miss him. Oh god, all this thinking just made my head spin. I closed my eyes as Gerard started singing again and I fell asleep in his arms.
