You ring the doorbell once, twice. When you place your finger near the button to press it again, the door opens. You come across the image of Gerard with his skin paler than ever, deep circles under his eyes, a baby towel on one of his shoulders, an old shirt with some stains that you are sure are baby vomit, and his black hair a complete mess. You've been best friends for a long time and you thought about checking in on him. You knew he was having a hard time having to care for a newborn baby alone after his wife's death but you didn't know he was...like this. He tries to smile but he seems too tired for that, he says while cradling the little baby in his arms.

"Oh...What a surprise! What are you doing here?"
