"Meeting number one of 'The Single Dads Club' has officially started!" Ray exclaims. I cough awkwardly, and Brendon glares at Ray.

"Who died and elected you president?" He asks seriously. I roll my eyes at the children.

"Who has all of the juicy information? I'd shut the hell up if you want me to set you up with someone." Ray shoots back, and Brendon surrenders. "Okay, first thing's first, I know someone in this group is a dirty whore. Which one of you is it?" Ray asks in a joking tone.

"Ray, what the hell are you talking about?" Joe asks seriously. Ray smiles at him suddenly.

"You know. One of the guys in this group has a kid that they actually had. There was no adoption, no mother, no anything. Someone here has the ability to get pregnant." Ray explains. Joe's eyebrows raise.

"Well, it's not me. Marie left me sixteen and a half years ago." Joe says, leaning back in his chair, looking at the rest of us.

"Well, it's not me. I'd tell you if it was me." Ray says. Brendon smiles at them.

"I adopted. I can show you the papers." Brendon says. "If I could get pregnant, I'd be hella awesome."

Gerard stands up, and they're all going to make fun of me, I know they are, when he tells them. Instead, he clears his throat. "It's me. I have the ability to get pregnant. I had Bandit myself."

I let out a breath of air. Gerard just took one for me. No one says anything except for Brendon. "Dude, that's hella awesome!" He exclaims.

"Yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up. Let's just talk about Iero and Stump." Gerard says. He sits back down, and I thank him quietly. "Don't worry about it."

"I didn't talk to Iero, but Rick said he'd pretend you were a friend so you could fuck Frank." Ray says. Gerard smiles at him and gets up, pulling Ray into a hug.

"I hate and love you." Gerard says. Ray rolls his eyes and doesn't hug the flamboyant man back.

"Get off of me." Ray says, and Gerard obliges, sitting back down next to me.

"Oh my gosh. Where are our kids?" Joe says suddenly. The rest of us laugh at him as he freaks out.

"Community service, man." I say, and he lets out a breath of air. "You must really be worried about Junior getting Ruby pregnant."

"Hey, why Junior?" Ray says. Pete gives him the 'really?' look, and Ray finally gets it. "Oh okay. I forget that Bronx is 'gay as hell' sometimes." He puts air quotes around gay as hell.

"Enough about the children. Who is Stump up to fucking?" Brendon asks. Joe almost spits his coffee out.

"Probably Joe, if I had to guess. Seems like they'd be each other's types." Ray says. Joe shakes his head.

"Oh hell no. I will not. If I'm going to date a guy, I'll set myself up with him." Joe says. Ray rolls his eyes.

"Pete has a hot neighbour, no shit. His name is Andy Hurlmeatthesun or something like that." Ray says. I blink once.

"Did you just..?" I ask, and Ray nods. I really shouldn't put anything past that man. "His name is Andy Hurley, and he's very attractive. Has like four thousand tattoos."

"Holy shit. My kind of guy." Brendon says. We all roll our eyes in unison. "That was creepy as hell."

"Everyone's your kind of guy, you thirsty piece of shit." Ray says. We all laugh, including Brendon.

"I want a beer." I say suddenly. Brendon nods to that, and Joe looks at the time on his watch.

"I'll go pick up the kids and bring them here since I don't drink." Gerard offers. We all nod. Joe walks to his fridge and tosses me two beer and brings two. I hand one to Brendon and keep the other.

When Joe sits down, he hands one of them in his hand to Ray. We all pop the caps and clink our glasses. "To the Single Dads Club!" Ray says.

"To the Single Dads Club!" We all say in unison. I down my beer the fastest, and I'm up getting four more before I even realise it.

Three more, and I'm completely wasted, lying in Joe's lap on the couch. "Joe, Joe, Joe, guess what!" I giggle. He laughs and sets his beer down on the table next to him.

"What, Pete?" He asks. I reach my hands up and run them through his hair. His eyes flutter closed when I pull too hard.

"You're really hot." I say simply. Joe laughs and shakes his head.

"Okay, you're wasted. You and Bronx can stay the night here." Joe offers. I smile at him. "Maybe you should go lie down."

"Trying to get me into bed already, huh? You didn't have to get me drunk to do that. I would've come willingly." I say. Joe's eyes widen as he laughs everything I say off.

"Come on, dude," He says, grabbing my hand. He pulls me up the stairs and lies me down in the bed. He walks to the door.

"You're not going to kiss me goodnight?" I ask, a pout on my face. Joe rolls his eyes and walks back to the bed, sitting on the edge near me.

"You're not going to remember a thing tomorrow, are you?" Joe asks, moving my fringe out of my eyes. I shake my head.

"Honestly, probably not." I lie straight through my teeth. Joe shrugs.

"What the hell then?" He leans in and lets me kiss him slowly, my hands moving up to his hair to tug at it.  He doesn't let it go as far as I'd like. "Alright, alright." He pulls away only to be pulled back in by me.

He moves his head down my neck, kissing and sucking softly and biting hard once or twice. I moan, and he smirks against my jaw and then my neck.

He moves his mouth to my ear. "Even if you remember this, don't say anything, and it just might happen again."

He leaves me with a kiss to my forehead and a soft 'goodnight.'

jete are so fucking hot together tbh I have no shame in writing them
