Disclaimer: Own OC, not BTR

Summary: 18 years ago New York was lost, today is a day of sorrow for a lot of people, but none worse then Frankie Wilson, who lost everything that day.

Chapter 4: April

It was THAT day again, the day where Frankie Wilson had lost everything that meant to him and his destiny was forced upon him by his future self, Frankie 'Kessler' Wilson.

Frankie was walking in the ruins of the once proud city of New York with his head down, kicking the rock he had found a while ago. It was now about 10 am and he had been here since 5 am, just walking aimlessly.

He had reached the ground where he had fought Kessler in the battle to the death that they had a few months back. He hadn't noticed before but this was also the location of his parent's laboratory, the place where they made the Ray Sphere, 'Ground Zero'.

"Hey mom and dad, I'm back. Happy 18 year anniversary I guess" he mumbled as he kneeled in front of the building, he could've gone inside, but who wants to see their parent's decayed corpses?

"Kessler was me from the future, shocking I know but I understand why he did what he did. I hope you don't hate me because of what happened because if I had a choice to stop this, I would in a heartbeat" he stopped to get on both of his knees.

"I wanted to say that you guys are going to be grandparents, yeah that's right, Grandma and Grandpa. Isn't that all parents dream? I and Jo are really excited for the arrival of the baby and I can honestly say that the birth of my child will always be the #1 happiest moment of my life, no offense" he said chuckling at the end and rubbed his eyes.

"I wanted to ask if you think I'll be a good dad, I know it's not your fault but since I didn't grow up with you guys I don't know a parents love. Sure I can guess from the way Mrs. Knight treats me, Kendall and Katie but I can't use that because I'm not going to be the mother" he said, getting a laugh out of himself.

"I'm afraid my child will hate me, afraid that I'll fail my own flesh and blood baby and that my child will despise my own existence. I don't know why I feel this way, maybe it's from the way I grew up but who the hell knows" he mumbled, wiping some tears from his eyes.

"I don't know what to do, I faced many obstacles before, ones harder then this, so why am I feeling this way? Is it because I'm just that pathetic? Or is it because I just can't handle parenthood" he asked with tears flowing down his face.

"I can't do this" he mumbled "I can't do it. I can't take care of my baby, I can't be a good dad, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING" he yelled, wrapping his arms around himself.

"I can't do it alone"

"You're not alone" a voice he loved and adored said behind him. Frankie turned his head to see Jo and Danny standing there, giving him sad smiles.

Jo had woken up that morning with sadness and happiness. Sad because this is the day she almost lost Frankie and the day he lost everything, but happy because it was officially their one year anniversary.

She picked up her cell phone to call him, but received no answer. She blinked in confusion; he always picked up his phone for her. She glanced at her alarm clock and saw it was 7 am, maybe he was sleeping still.

She sighed and got dressed at fast speeds for a girl that was pregnant. She quickly examined herself in the mirror and gave herself a thumbs up before rubbing her stomach

"Time to see daddy" she whispered and headed out of her door to apartment 2J, home of hero Frankie Wilson.

Jo made it in about 5 minutes and knocked on the door; she could hear Carlos in panic mode and heard loud and approaching footsteps.

Carlos swung the door open and when he saw Jo, he quickly looked over her shoulder and around her, causing her to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Please tell me Frankie is with you" he pleaded to her and her heart dropped to her stomach. Frankie was missing?

"No" she whispered and Carlos cursed real quickly before leading her inside, where she saw Kendall, James and Logan all scared and panicked too.

Jo looked to the rest of BTR with a panicked look in her eyes "Where is my fiancée" she asked and they all shook their heads, showing that they didn't know.

"I don't know" Kendall mumbled "He didn't take his phone or anything else with him, so we can't exactly pinpoint his location" he said, it was happening again. Frankie pushed them away on this day AGAIN.

"It's our one year anniversary" Jo said with a saddened look on her face, why did Frankie leave?

"It's also the 18th anniversary of the day that he lost everything. His family, his chance at a normal life and the day that his destiny was thrust upon him, maybe he wanted to be alone" Logan shrugged, he really didn't know anymore with Frankie.

"THE LAST TIME HE WAS ALONE ON THIS DAY WAS THE DAY THAT HE WAS BEAT INTO A FUCKING COMA. I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN" Jo yelled with tears running down her cheeks and ran to the bathroom, her morning sickness catching up to her.

The guys stared at the bathroom door with a saddened look, Jo was stressing out and that's not exactly healthy for someone who is pregnant.

Kendall wrapped an arm around Logan "We need to find him" he said and they nodded, but didn't know how to find him.

Carlos, who had gone into Frankie's room, came out with a note? Where the hell did he find a note?

"I found a note" he said as he waved it to them, all of them scampering around it

Dear Family,

If you are reading this, then that means you found out I had left the apartment and you went through my stuff, not cool. LOL, anyway if you're wondering where I am, I'm in New York City. Yes, you didn't read wrong, NYC, New York. I'm here because I haven't spend ONE day today with my parents, yes their dead but I want to be in the spot where they had sacrificed their lives. I know Jo is freaking out, but I can't be with her now, I need to spend time with my parents and even Kessler. I guess if I want to spend time with Kessler, I can just be alone for a bit. Ha, anyway I'll be back sometime between 8 and 12, when? I don't know; tell Jo that I said 'Happy Anniversary' and that I'm sorry.

Signed: Your buddy and friend Frankie Wilson

The guys had finished the note as soon as Jo walked out the bathroom, having just used mouthwash to clean her morning sickness breath. She zoned in on the note like a hawk would it's dinner and snatched it at fast speeds and read it.

She was crying at the end and threw it on the floor "THAT IDIOT, HOW THE HELL CAN HE THINK TO IGNORE ME ON OUR ANNI-FUCKING-VERSARY" she yelled glaring with her fist raised, making BTR step back a little in fright, NOTHING was scarier then an angry pregnant woman with mood swings.

She quickly pulled out her phone "DANNY, GET IN 2J NOW" she demanded, not giving the pyro conduit a chance to even say 'hello'.

Within 2 seconds, he appeared in a swirling vortex of fire to see one of his best friends furious, but didn't see his male best friend "Where's Frankie" he asked, all guys pointing to Jo, who pointed to the note on the ground.

"WHERE YOU'RE TAKING ME, NEW YORK CITY" she demanded, grabbing on his arms.

He looked so confused it was laughable "Huh" he asked with raised eyebrows. What was going on here?

"Frankie is New York and Jo wants you to take her there" Kendall explained and Danny nodded.

"Frankie said to NOT take you anywhere with my powers because of your pregnancy" he told Jo, who glared at him.

"I don't CARE what he said, you better take me or I swear I'm gonna drag you to the beach and hold your head down until the bubbles and steam stop coming up" she threatened, all guys paling at her. Jo can be REALLY scary and intimidating.

"Okay, just hold on tight" Danny warned as he and Jo vanished in a swirl of fire, leaving the remainder of BTR alone.

"Is it just me or is Jo scarier than Dark Frankie" Carlos asked and all guys thought of them both side by side and nodded

"Pretty much"

Jo and Danny appeared in the ruins of the once proud New York, stunned by how this place looked.

"So, this is where Frankie fought Kessler" Danny muttered as he led Jo through the city, keeping their eyes out for anything that moved. After all, Frankie will be the only living thing left in this city, shouldn't be too hard to find him.

They walked for a few minutes before they heard a mutter

"Hey mom and dad, I'm back. Happy 18 year anniversary I guess" a voice both knew all too well muttered. Jo looked to the sound and saw her love kneeling down. She was ready to yell at him, but couldn't when she saw the broken look on his face.

"Kessler was me from the future, shocking I know but I understand why he did what he did. I hope you don't hate me because of what happened because if I had a choice to stop this, I would in a heartbeat" Jo gasped and Danny eyed him, both shocked and confused.

"His parents wouldn't hate him because of something his future self did…right" she asked Danny, who shrugged.

"I wanted to say that you guys are going to be grandparents, yeah that's right, Grandma and Grandpa. Isn't that all parents dream? I and Jo are really excited for the arrival of the baby and I can honestly say that the birth of my child will always be the #1 happiest moment of my life, no offense" Jo smiled softly and Danny chuckled. Frankie was really something else.

"I wanted to ask if you think I'll be a good dad, I know it's not your fault but since I didn't grow up with you guys I don't know a parents love. Sure I can guess from the way Mrs. Knight treats me, Kendall and Katie but I can't use that because I'm not going to be the mother" Danny laughed at his joke but Jo didn't.

"You'll be a great dad Frankie" she whispered as she rubbed her stomach.

"I'm afraid my child will hate me, afraid that I'll fail my own flesh and blood baby and that my child will despise my own existence. I don't know why I feel this way, maybe it's from the way I grew up but who the hell knows" Danny and Jo frowned. Frankie really has no confidence in himself at all.

"I don't know what to do, I faced many obstacles before, ones harder then this, so why am I feeling this way? Is it because I'm just that pathetic? Or is it because I just can't handle parenthood" Jo started to cry and Danny sighed

"You're the strongest guy on this planet. You're anything BUT pathetic".

"I can't do this" he mumbled "I can't do it. I can't take care of my baby, I can't be a good dad, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING" he yelled, wrapping his arms around himself" That was it for Jo

"You're not alone" she called and had to stop herself from laughing at how freaked out he was to hear a voice that wasn't his.

"Jo, Danny? What are you guys doing here" he asked. He wanted to be alone today.

"I missed you" Jo said as she walked to him. She wasn't going to let him feel pain anymore. "It's our anniversary" she reminded as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Your not pathetic honey" she tried to tell him.

"What if I can't be a good dad? What if I can't make my child happy? What if I…" he was silenced when Jo pressed her lips to his.

"I love you. You can do anything that you put your mind too. I saw you do it before".

"When"?

"When we were scared to say 'I love you' to each other, when you were scared about meeting my parents and when you beat Kessler. You can do anything Frankie, its just what you can do" Jo told her fiancée with a smile.

Frankie smiled back "I'll try my best" he said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"That's all I ask" she said. He was getting there, slowly but surely.

"Let's get out of here" he told Danny, who nodded.

"WAIT" Jo shouted, getting a raised eyebrow from both conduits. Jo slapped Frankie's face, leaving a red handprint "Don't you DARE think about ignoring me on our anniversary again" she warned. Frankie nodded furiously and she grinned "Okay then, lets go home".

As both conduits charged their power, they had one common thought

'Pregnant woman are crazy'
