Warning- implied child abuse, blood, violence.

"Pol! I'm heading home!" Y/n called upstairs only hearing a see you later from Polly she grabbed her jacket and walked out stumbling onto the street, she looked up exhausted but thankful for the cold rain that fell on her face.

"Night Fin" Y/n said softly bending down she kissed his cheek hugging him lightly.

"Don't forget to lock the door once I'm gone, your brother's will be back" Y/n said softly Finn only nodded shutting the door she waited until she heard it lock and then turned away yawning.

It had been a rough day looking after Finn and Polly who was ill in bed with a fever, she was just thankful none of the brothers had gotten it.

Gripping her bag she continued down the street and turned towards the Garrison needing nothing more then a dark and strong drink to make her feel better.

"Hi Grace could I get a glass of rum please?" Y/n asked Grace only nodded turning towards the strongest one they had on the bar and poured it quickly.

"Had a rough day Lass?" A deep Scottish voice said from behind her.
Y/n turned seeing Ben Sharpe.

"And the asshole returns" Y/n spat drinking down her rum sighing at the burn as she lit her cigarette, Grace poured another.

"What are you doing here Ben?" Y/n asked annoyed.

"You know why I'm here Love, where's the boys eh?" He said sitting beside her taking her hand.

"Remove your hand Ben or I'll kick the living shit out of you, and they'd never want to see you, you're 10 years too fucking late" Y/n spat.

"Want me to call Polly?" Grace asked Y/n shook her head.

"Call Tommy" Y/n said leaning over the bar she grabbed the bottle swigging it back until it was empty.

"Oh come on Love, they've gotta have missed me I've missed my little girl" Y/n stood at his words smashing the bottle over his head just as the Garrison doors opened Tommy quickly moved forward pulling her back as she tried to kick and punch at her adoptive Father.

"I was never your little girl!" Y/n screamed loudly fighting against Tommy as he tried to pull her back.

"Get him out of here" Tommy ordered loudly, thunderous footsteps followed in after Tommy John throwing himself at Ben he quickly began punching the already bleeding man, pulling his hat off.

"What did I fucking tell you eh!" John shouted loudly his blades meeting Ben's face over and over again, John raised him up and smashed his face on the bar sending him back to the floor.

"JOHN!" Tommy shouted loudly trying to get his brother back, John soon looked up after the second call, Y/n slumped against Tommy exhaustion written all over her face.

"It's alright, it's alright" Tommy whispered holding her bloody fists against her chest while her back remained against his, lowering them both to the floor as she broke down in tears a gut wrenching scream left her lips.

"It's okay, it's gonna be okay" John said kneeling in front of her neither of them moved an inch as they tried to calm her down, Grace and Harry were the only on lookers that night aswell as Skudboat who picked up Ben.

"Breathe Darlin just...just breath" John tried to reassure her kissing the top of her head his cap forgotten on the floor she soon wrapped her arms around him, Tommy remained behind her his hand on her back just to soothe her until finally her cries quieted slightly.

"Harry I'm sorry about the blood and glass" Tommy whispered placing down a couple coins, Harry shook his head.

"He got what he deserved" Harry said pushing the coins back, Tommy nodded watching John pick Y/n up and move away to his house.

"What do you mean?" Grace asked once Tommy had left.

"That bastard hurt that girl, took her spirit and soul when she was young...too young" Harry spat the last sentence picking up the last few coins, Grace looked at the bloody mess on the floor and quickly began cleaning it away the best she could.

"What did Skudboat do with him?" John asked his voice thick as he watched the girl he loved sleep on his sofa.

"Got him on a boat gonna get rid of him" Tommy whispered placing a hand on his brothers shoulder as a reassurance.

"Couldn't bloody stop Tommy" John said his voice even giving Tommy a harsh feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.

"I know, but it's done, just gotta make sure shes alright now" Tommy said softly, John nodded taking her bruised hand seeing the bloody engagement ring.

"Get me a warm bowl of water Tommy and some cloth" John said quietly, Tommy only nodded retrieving both he watched John clean the blood from her bruised hands taking off her engagement ring to clean underneath it, it was the softest interaction he had ever witnessed between the two, usually they were either fighting and screaming at eachother or doing what couples did best when they were newly engaged hardly ever leaving the bedroom.

"She'll be fine, it's just a set back" Tommy finally said John visibly jumped completely forgetting that Tommy was even in the room he only gave a stiff nod, Tommy knew she wouldn't, John knew she wouldn't, everyone in that bar that night knew she wouldn't be alright for a while the memories had been brought back by those simple three words that no one would ever utter around her.

Until a few years later, 3 kids later with her husband John, John had uttered those words to his newly born babe.

"My little girl" John spoke softly in some kind of trance as he looked at the small blue eyed babe again, hearing Y/n stop walking from behind him.

John looked back seeing her pale face which soon pulled into a small smile.

"Our little girl, she's gonna be our little fighter" Y/n said with a smile, John immediately beamed at her words pulling his wife into his arms kissing her deeply.

"Want to try for babe number 4?" John whispered hearing her giggle like she did when he had first asked.

"You never change" John Whispered racing after her once Polly had taken the kids.
