Gerard was a single mother, she didn't plan it at all, you just happened, your father didn't stay around, and she was kind of glad he didn't, they weren't good for each other, she was working on her self and he wasn't a good influence, so she was determined to raise you, with so much love and care, she wanted you to have a wonderful childhood, and even though she had the band, she drop everything for you in a heart beat. luckily she had her friends and brother Mikey to help if she needed anything but it was just the two of you against the world
