Michael- New Family

Mentions of Rape (doesn't go in detail)

You and Michael are sat around the table with his family starring at you after telling them that you have a daughter. It was only the third time you had met his family
"I'm sorry it sounded like you said you already have a daughter" Polly says frowning
"Err yeah, her names Edith, Edee"
"Where's the father?" Tommy asks you taking a drag from his cigarette
"He's not involved" you tell his ashamed of your past
"How old is she?" John asks
"She's 3"
"So you were 17 when you had her? no wonder the dad left" Grace whispers. You start to jiggle your leg up and down with nerves
"Grace" Michael warns Tommy's wife
"Sorry but it's true. She was 17 when she had a child?"
"Grace John had a kid at 17 with Martha" Polly sighs
"Yeah but he did the right thing and married her"
"I errm didn't have much choice"
"You don't know who he is do you?" Grace starts to laugh
"Grace that's enough. Let the girl speak" Arthur snaps
"I didn't know I was pregnant" you look down at your hands getting a little upset
"How do you not know?" again Grace laughs "I was sick as a dog with Charles"
"I errrm"
"Hey you don't owe her an explanation. You don't have to tell them" Michael takes your hand and gives it a squeeze
"No it's ok" you take a deep breath and look at Grace "I had never done anything with anyone, wanted to wait till marriage, but as you are aware being a woman, living in Small Heath can be dangerous. My friends at I were walking home from a pub, we had been drinking. All I remember from that night was we were attacked. I woke up the next morning in the street with blood around me" you begin to get upset but carry on looking at Grace whose face has softened a little "I just went home after thinking nothing of it. Months later I stared to bloat, then my bleed stoped. When I saw a doctor I was told I was half way through my pregnancy. I was kicked out of my house because a man couldn't help himself"
"Oh my god" Polly gasps
"And you don't know who did this?" Tommy frowns looking at you, you can see anger in his eyes. You shake your head
"No, maybe if I saw them again I'd recognise them, but it's been over 3 years and I was drinking that night"
"Look. I really like YN and I want her to be part of my family. It's just her and Edee"
"Ok, well you best bring Edee here for dinner" Polly smiles at you.

A few days later you bring Edee over to Polly's for diner. Already hearing the noise from inside Edee hides behind your leg nervously. You turn around and pick her up in your arms
"Hey baby. I know your scared, but they will love you. Micheal does doesn't he?" Edee nods her head "it's ok to be a little scared, but remember how scared you were to meet Michael and you love him now" the door opens and Edee places her head into your neck
"What are you doing out here YN?" Polly asks you
"Someone's feeling a little nervous"
"Is that right? well I guess if she doesn't want to come in, I'll have to eat all of the chocolate biscuits" suddenly you hear a little gasp and feel Edee leave your neck
"Mamma biscuits"
"We best go in then shouldn't we?"
"Yeah mamma let's go"
Inside you see the Shelby brothers around the table laughing. Edee gets nervous again
"Hi love" Micheal walks over to you and kisses your cheek "hello Edee, I heard that you have been promised chocolate biscuits"
"Yeah mamma said" Edee mumbles
"Did she. Shall we find them?" Edee nods her head and leans over to Micheal for him to hold her. Grace walks over to you with Esme
"You know she looks like you" Esme tells you
"She does. Sorry how I acted before"
"It ok. A new woman coming into the family must be a little scary. Especially a woman who is already looked down upon"
"Hey your one of us now. Don't worry" John walks over to you putting his arm around Esme
"Mamma, mamma look" Edee runs over with chocolate all over her hands and face
"Wow. You're a little mucky aren't you? do you think you should wash those hands?"
"I can lick it" Edee starts to lick her fingers
"She will fit in very well with our family" Esme laughs
"Well I think we still need to clean you up"
"Here" Michael hands me a damp cloth
"Thank you"
"Mamma I like Polly's biscuits"
"That's good"
"She makes them better than you"
"Ay you cheeky thing" you nudge her a little making her giggle "I'm good at baking"
"Yeah when you don't burn them"
"She's got a point" Michael laughs
"Oh really. Well mamma won't make any more biscuits"
"Good. That means we can come here more" Edee then runs off to play with esme and johns kids
"Wow. Unbelievable. We've been here for an hour and Polly has stolen my child"
"She does all our kids. Quite handy when you need grownup time" John says then walks away with esme leaving just you and Michael
"You think she's happy?" you ask
"Definitely"
"Thank you Michael, for everything"
"Your both family. Come on let's join the others outside" Michael kisses your head then wraps his arm around your waist.
