The Convenience Store.
Monica, excited and feeling like Fiona was finally starting to accept her as a mother, nimbly bought the tampons and prepared to pay.
Just then, Monica suddenly realized that her period seemed to be overdue.
Thinking of this, Monica froze and hurriedly tried to recall.
Unfortunately, she couldn't remember exactly when it was last month, but she did remember that it was indeed overdue.
"Oh, no!" As someone with a fertile constitution, Monica instantly felt something was wrong and exclaimed in a low voice with a headache. Immediately after, she recalled again, trying to figure out whose baby it would be if she was pregnant.
This time, it didn't take but a few seconds to get a result.
The reason was simple.
In the past period, she had only fxxked Eddie.
Thinking of Eddie...
Monica nodded and smiled brilliantly. "Mm."
"Who's is it?" Frank accepted it directly, incredibly calm.
"Eddie Jackson's, definitely his!" Monica replied with a smile.
"Haha," Frank immediately thought of that crazy woman Sheila and felt incredibly refreshed, laughing out loud. "Beautiful job! Then let's go right now!"
"Do we blackmail him?"
"Of course!" Monica replied decisively.
Frank blinked, stunned for two seconds before coming to his senses, asking in surprise, "You're pregnant?"
Frank loved good news. Almost instinctively, he opened his eyes immediately and asked excitedly, "What good news?"
About twenty minutes later.
Monica walked briskly out of the convenience store, went straight to a pharmacy, bought a pregnancy test, and tested it right there in the pharmacy bathroom.
A few minutes later, the result was out.
Looking at the result, Monica smiled brilliantly and decided without hesitation to go find Eddie later for a good chat.
Because Eddie was still great, and Frank had lost his function... More importantly, Eddie's living conditions were quite good. Through this child, she could get a lot of benefits.
Returning home, Monica handed the tampons to Fiona, didn't delay, and immediately ran to the living room on the first floor. She squatted next to Frank, smirked, and gently nudged him. "Frank, wake up, I have good news to tell you."
Monica smirked, didn't reply, and simply took the pregnancy test out of her pocket and waved it at Frank.
Frank heard this and instantly understood why Monica was smiling so happily. Immediately after, he also got excited. "We blackmail him?"
Monica nodded, smiling wickedly. "Mm."
Having gotten a response, Monica didn't waste words. She helped Frank up and walked quickly outside.
Fiona was on the toilet in the second-floor bathroom. Because she was in a good mood, she had no objection to this. "Okay."
After helping Frank up, Monica thought for a moment and called out, "Fiona, your dad and I are going out to handle some business. Liam is temporarily left to you."
The Gallagher house was only two blocks away from Sheila's house.
Before long.
Knock, knock, knock~~
Monica knocked on Sheila's front door with a smile.
Inside the house, Sheila, who had completed today's outing goal and returned not long ago, was busy preparing dinner in a good mood. Hearing the knock, she hurriedly trotted to the front door and then opened it generously.
The door opened...
Seeing Monica and Frank at a glance...
Instantly, Sheila's good mood vanished completely, replaced by uncontrollable anger rising rapidly.
"Frank! Get out, get the hell out!! My house doesn't welcome you!" Anger rising, Sheila couldn't help but curse loudly.
Seeing Sheila's reaction, Frank was instantly overjoyed, feeling incredibly refreshed. He lifted his foot and walked into the house. "Monica, let's go in. Let's have a good talk with Eddie."
"Go!" Monica didn't hesitate for a split second, responded, and actively reached out to support Frank.
Frank didn't care at all, chuckling to himself. "Sheila, Monica and I are here for business. How about you shut up first and listen to what we have to say?"
"I don't want to hear anything from you," Sheila genuinely felt nauseous just seeing Frank and roared, "Get out! Both of you get out!"
Frank smiled and didn't talk to Sheila anymore, just calling out to Monica. "Monica."
When it came to doing bad things, Monica and Frank had great chemistry. She immediately understood Frank's meaning and took out the pregnancy test without hesitation, waving it in front of Sheila's eyes.
Although she had been trapped at home for so many years, Sheila hadn't degenerated to the point of not recognizing a pregnancy test. She recognized it at a glance, was dumbfounded, and couldn't understand what this meant. "What are you doing?"
Monica smiled slyly and didn't keep her in suspense. "I'm pregnant. It's Eddie's. Is Eddie home? We need to talk to him."
These words entered her ears.
Boom!
Sheila felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue. There was an explosion in her head. Immediately after, she couldn't stand steadily and fell backward until she hit the wall and stopped.
Frank and Monica just ignored the dumbfounded and distraught Sheila, entered the house, and familiarly went to the living room.
Interestingly, Monica smiled.
Frank saw the scene in the kitchen at a glance and was amused, smiling at Monica. "We came at just the right time. They're having a big meal tonight. Let's stay here until evening."
Monica had no objection. "Okay."
Saying this, the two sat comfortably on the sofa, then turned on the TV, as if this were their own home.
The TV sound rang out.
Sheila heard it faintly and recovered bit by bit.
After a long while.
Finally recovering somewhat and her mind clearing a bit, Sheila gritted her teeth, hurriedly steadied herself, then rushed to the landline in panic, calling Eddie with trembling hands.
Eddie was working in front of the computer, killing time. Seeing a call from home, he was quite surprised and pressed answer. "Sheila?"
"Yes, it's me," hearing Eddie's voice, Sheila instantly broke down. Her voice carried obvious sobbing as she said tremblingly, "Come back quickly, something happened. Monica is here, saying she's pregnant, and the child is yours..."
Hearing this.
Thump!
Eddie, who never dreamed such a thing would happen, shook, his expression changed drastically, and he was simply stunned, almost dropping the phone.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
It was simply too shocking. Eddie's mind went blank, and he couldn't speak at all.
Under these circumstances, Sheila couldn't bear Eddie's silence and was about to cry, shouting, "Eddie!"
Hearing this, Eddie reacted and blinked hard. "I'll be back immediately. See you in a bit!"
After speaking, Eddie didn't delay for a second. He hung up the phone, hurriedly stood up, and called out to his colleagues in the office, "Something happened at home, I have to go back. Cover for me!"
Leaving a message, Eddie didn't wait for a response and walked away.
The colleagues watched, quite confused, but didn't say anything.
---
Sheila's House.
By the landline.
Because she and Eddie had been like strangers for several years, Sheila hesitated for a moment and decided to call Karen as well.
The reason was simple.
Compared to this stranger Eddie, Sheila instinctively was more willing to rely on Karen.
Karen was receiving a prospective tenant at the apartment. Seeing a call from home, thinking something happened to Sheila, she hurriedly clicked answer.
"Karen, I'm sorry, am I disturbing you?" Sheila said apologetically.
"No, Mom, what's wrong?" Hearing Sheila's tone, Karen was sure something must have happened and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Mm, something did happen..." Sheila sadly and intermittently recounted the situation. "Do you have time to come back now?"
After listening, Karen was instantly so angry her eyes almost spat fire.
Damn Frank!
Motherfxxker, actually daring to come cause trouble!
Should have just killed him directly if I knew earlier!
"I'll be there right away!" Karen gritted her teeth in hatred, gave a reply, didn't say more, hung up the phone, and turned to the prospective tenant not far away. "I have an emergency and have to leave. So, renting or not?"
The prospective tenant suspected Karen was acting. "I need to consider it."
Hearing this, Karen turned and left without another word. Just that cool.
The prospective tenant was a bit confused: "????"
Sheila's House.
Having made the two calls she could make, Sheila, with a mournful face and not knowing what to do next, slowly put down the receiver. Then, distractedly, she moved two steps, plopped onto the chair by the dining table, stared blankly at Frank and Monica sitting comfortably on the sofa, and anxiously waited for Eddie and Karen to come home.
Eddie and Karen were both on their way.
Eddie's head was still buzzing, and a thought kept popping up in his mind: "This is God's punishment, this must be God's punishment."
Karen didn't believe in God. What was in her mind was hatred for Frank and Monica, plotting how to take revenge, whether to spend more money to eliminate these two scumbags, Frank and Monica, once and for all...
Time flew by.
Eddie and Karen arrived at the door at the same time.
Getting out of the car.
Seeing Eddie, Karen immediately threw him a vicious look decisively, then retorted, "What good thing did you do?"
Eddie was very guilty, speechless, and didn't even dare look at Karen. "I'm sorry, I went astray before. I know I was wrong."
Karen had no interest in listening to Eddie's defense. Glaring at Eddie again, she ran quickly toward the house.
Eddie truly regretted it to death, sighed silently, and followed silently.
Before long.
Father and daughter, Eddie and Karen, arrived in the dining room and stood next to the mournful and sorrowful Sheila.
With both husband and daughter back, Sheila relaxed a little... but only a little.
"Eddie, you go solve this. You go," looking at Eddie, Sheila took a deep breath and said, her voice still choking with tears.
Only a few hours ago, hope for a better life had appeared in this family...
And now, it suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, becoming like this...
Eddie felt truly incredibly guilty and self-blaming inside. Hearing this, he nodded heavily, then walked quickly to sit in front of Monica and Frank.
Frank was a scumbag who should have died long ago; Eddie had no interest in paying attention to him. Glancing at him once, he turned to Monica. "Monica, what exactly is going on?"
Monica smiled and handed the pregnancy test straight to Eddie. "I just tested it not long ago. I am indeed pregnant. Considering that in the past period, only you fxxked me, this child is definitely yours. I am certain."
Most likely, this was the first time in Monica's life she was so certain about a child's paternity.
Eddie took the pregnancy test with a grim face, looked at it for two seconds, and his thoughts raced.
Believe it?
Eddie believed Monica was pregnant; he didn't doubt that.
But as for who the father was... Eddie was very skeptical.
After all, in the South Side, although Monica's reputation wasn't as loud as Frank's, it wasn't much better and was quite renowned.
Eddie knew Monica could fxxk various men almost anywhere.
Silence for a few seconds. Eddie looked away, took a deep breath, and asked Monica, "Then you came to find me, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hearing this, Monica smiled at Frank, signaling Frank to speak.
Frank understood instantly, chuckled, and spoke. "Eddie, we Gallaghers don't do abortions. Monica will give birth to this child."
"So, you know, whether it's the prenatal process starting now or the raising afterward, it requires a lot of money."
"As the father of the child, you need to take on this responsibility."
"Eddie, you have always been a very responsible man who supports his family. I believe you will be willing to take on this responsibility, right?"
Saying this, Frank winked and added with a smirk, "Monica is very good at bearing sons. It's very likely that soon, you will have a son."
Thump.
Firstly, Eddie had faith. Even though he had turned his back on his faith for a while, the most basic things were still there... Eddie firmly believed abortion equaled murder and was unacceptable.
Secondly, Karen, this daughter, was basically ruined and hated him especially...
So.
Hearing this, Eddie immediately couldn't help imagining: if he had a son a few months later and educated him well, what would the future be like?
In short, Eddie was tempted.
Driven by this temptation, Eddie spoke up. "If the child in Monica's belly is indeed mine, I will take the responsibility I should take."
"I am a man, I won't run away!"
Hearing this, Frank immediately gave Eddie a thumbs up with a brilliant smile. "Awesome. I knew you wouldn't deny it."
"Very good. Then, to let you better fulfill your responsibility, I think Monica and I should move here to live. At least, we need to have a room here and possess the right to come and stay whenever we want."
"Monica is now a pregnant woman. That dilapidated house of mine isn't suitable for a pregnant woman to live in, and it's bad for your child too."
"You agree, right?"
"As for me... heh, Monica is my wife after all. I must be with her."
"Speaking of which..."
"Monica is my wife. You fxxked my wife and got Monica pregnant. I think, logically and reasonably, you should give me a sum of financial compensation. After all, you caused me great harm."
"Eddie, you also don't want me to go around shouting outside, telling everyone you did this good deed, right?"
Frank said all this in one breath.
Eddie was truly driven almost to faint by Frank's level of shamelessness; his vision nearly went black.
Karen's reaction wasn't this intense. She just clenched her fists silently and made a decision secretly.
Frank and Monica, this pair of scumbags...
Both must die!!!
