Becoming a woman

Rose is 12 years old and finn is 19

Polly pov

I was in the betting den when I heard the phone ring. No one made any effort to answer which meant I had to do it

"I'll get the phone then shall I?" I said sarcastically. Ada, esme and finn looked up from their work and then looked down again. Ignoring their laziness, I answered the phone to the sound of heavy breathing

P: Hello?
Unknown: Polly? It's darla. I need your help please. Mother is sick and I don't know what to do. Fathers left us and I...
P: it's alright love. Don't cry. I will come down to London and do all I can for your mother. And give your father a good crack
D: thanks polly

I hung the phone up.

"Is everything alright pol?" Ada asked

"I'm going to London. I'm not sure how long I will be gone but a good friend of mine is unwell. That was her daughter asking for help" I explained

"I'm sorry pol. Is their anything we can do?" Lizzie asked

"There is one thing. Finn, piss off" finn looked shocked but walked out the room in a huff whilst muttering something under his breathe. I sat down with the girls and began to tell them everything

"I have a feeling. I'm almost positive that Rose will get her first period some time this week. There is a good chance I will be in London for longer than a week so when it happens, I need you  3 to make sure she understands everything and help her. Lord knows those boys won't have a fucking clue what to do" they nodded their heads in understanding as they called finn back in and we continued with our work

Rose pov

Polly had just left for London. I never liked it when she left us alone. I would stay with my brothers and as much as I love them, they are also a pain in the bloody arse.

Shit

The pain. In my stomach. It had been there all afternoon. It felt funny. Like I needed to be sick but couldn't. It worried me quite alot. I was always getting ill and on a number of occasions, the doctor has wrongfully informed my family that I wouldnt live another day. Well clearly they were wrong. But they have to be right sometime. What if I was ill again? And polly had just me alone! Oh no. Now i was panicking

I was in Arthur's house, sitting on my bed in my nightclothes. I was getting ready when the pain increased. That was the final straw. I went downstairs to Arthur, clutching my stomach.

He was sat at the dining room table having an argument with Linda. Fucking bitch. Haha. Sorry. I may have a slight hatred for the woman. And by slight I mean I would rather rip off one of my limbs and eat it just so I die rather than have a meal with her.

"She is MY baby sister" I heard Arthur say

"SHE ISNT SAFE ARTHUR. NOT WITH YOU OR TOMMY OR JOHN. NOT WITH ANY OF YOU. HOW CAN SHE BE WHEN YOU PRACTICALLY CHAZE DANGER JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE THE THRILL" Linda screamed

"BECAUSE I LOVE HER. SHE IS THE SHELBY FUCKING ANGEL AND THAT MEANS ALWAYS BEING THE MOST PROTECTED WOMAN IN ENGLAND" Arthur replied, his temper showing

"She may be the most protected. But being the shelby angel also makes her the most wanted" Linda said in an earily quiet tone. I slowly opened the door as tears of fear and shock seeped down my face. Arthur looked at me and opened his arms as I ran into his embrace

"I'm sorry for yelling love" he whispered to me as he wiped my tears.

"My Tummy hurts" Arthur's eyes grew wide as he lifted me up carefully and carried me up the stairs. He lay me on the bed and kissed my forehead

"If you feel worse at any time, tell me straight away and I will get the doctor. Promise me you will wake me if needed?"

"Promise" I said as I sniffed back my tears. He smiled warmly at me before tucking me in and leaving the room. I found that laying certain ways didn't hurt my stomach as much. Like on my side or holding my stomach. Warmth also helped.

When I woke up the next morning, the pain was worse. But that wasn't the only thing wrong. I hadn't noticed until I stepped out of bed. But blood was on my bed. Not much. But enough. I had it covering my bottom half. Oh no. I quickly cleaned myself up and got dressed before running downstairs. There I saw all my brothers having breakfast. They would often have breakfast with me. Ada wasn't their though. I wasn't sure why. No time to think. Only time to panick and think about that argument I had 5 years ago and the really good comeback I should've said but didn't think of until now. Pure regret.

"I'm dying" I said as tears poured down my face. All heads turned towards me as Arthur went and kneeled down to my height

"What the fuck you on about? Your not dying" he said as he wiped my tears

"I am. I swear. I woke up and there was blood everywhere but I checked all my legs and there isn't any cuts or grazes" I all but chocked out as I sobbed. Arthur looked at the others who had wide eyes and red faces. Except finn who looked in a state of panick

"Well get her a fucking doctor then" finn yelled as he stood up and came over to me.

"She isn't dying finn" Tommy said simply.

"How would you know? You're not a doctor" I said as me and finn continued to panick

"Rose love, have some breakfast whilst I call ada. I promise, you're not dying" John said as I went and sat down. Moments later, John reentered.

"Ye so bad news. There are no women available" he said to my brothers.

"Right. Well we don't need them. We are man enough to handle this....right? Arthur asked unsure. Finn and Tommy came back in after Tommy needed to talk with him. He seemed less panicked now and more embarrassed. But I didn't know why

"Will one of you bastards tell me what the fucks going on?" I basically begged

"So when you get older, you go through.....certain.....changes" Arthur stuttered. I looked at him unsure

"Erm....Well the thing is Rose, at your age, you have something called.....a...erm...."

"Period" John said to Tommy interrupting him who rolled his eyes

"Yes I know what it's called thank you john" he said sarcastically

"Wasn't sure if you forgot" John said as he went back to his toast.

"So it's over then?" I asked.

"Nope. Still got about another 40 years to go. Possibly even longer." Finn said making my jaw drop. John put his head on the table in defeat as finn turned to Tommy "see. I was listening" he said triumphantly.

"It isn't as bad as it seems. It happens about once every 5 months for 1 day" Tommy said. I heard a door close behind me and heard esme yelled

"Oh my god!" She had her mouth open in shock.

"I don't know what these have been telling ya Rose but stuff them. Everything I've heard them say is absolute bollocks." She said as she walked over to me. I glanced back at me brothers who just shrugged. Esme shooed the boys out the the room before explaining everything to me.

A week later, polly returned. I had never been so happy to see her. I ran into her arms as she brought me in for a hug

"I have missed you more than you could possibly know" I said sternly. She chuckled but then said

"Did it happen then?"

"Yep. And not only that. Esme, ada and lizze were busy when it happened. So i had to listen to my clown brothers explain it all. By the way, the know fuck all about it" i said.

"Why didnt they get a maid?" She asked confused. I thought about it for a moment

"FUCK" I yelled in realisation

"They are idiots sometimes. Although bet it was entertaining ay?"

"Be grateful you didn't have to listen to it." I said as we walked inside. I was so happy polly was home. I was no longer surrounded by boys. And I finally had someone to talk to where their intellectual level was above that of a toad

A/N
I thought I would write a more amusing one as some of them are quite dark. Hence why i needed to change the age. 1486 words.
