Here, livejournal, I want to share some thoughts with you that I was talking about with people earlier:
So, wow, there is no way I would ever write this story both because a) I don't know what would happen next and b) it would make me too sad (and, ugh, the stuff about Bert's ex-girlfriend overdosing while she was pregnant with his kid makes it even worse), but jeez. I can't stop thinking about it. My poor darlings! I don't even know when I became a tragic Bert/Gerard shipper, but I totally did.
I guess at least in the future when I think about them, I'll be able to go "yes, it is sad, but at least they didn't bring a BABY into it!" So there's an upside! Um.
I just thought about Bert/Gerard getting pregnant pre-break-up and it made me wanna cry.
They would be all cuddly and excited when Gee first gets knocked up! And while everyone else in the world is like "oh, this is not good" they're like "STFU! Baby! Yay!"
And then they break up before the baby is even born and Gee doesn't even want to let Bert see it -- it's Gee's baby, not his, Bert doesn't have anything to do with it except forgetting a condom.
It's so saaaaaaaaad. Because on the one hand, he is the dad and Gee is kind of a bitch to keep his kid away from him, but on the other hand, Bert's still drinking a lot/doing drugs/saying bad things about Gee in public so it's not like he's making a good argument for why she's wrong.
IDK [if Gee would eventually let the kid see Bert]! I can't really figure out what it would take to change Gee's mind, and meanwhile they would probably keep resenting each other more, right? Gee is overprotective. The kid has her! And her band! It doesn't need bad influences.
(Also I am not sure why this became girl!Gerard instead of mpreg, but whatever.)
