Arthur:

The two of you have been trying for several years. And for some reason, things just weren't working out. No one other than you two were aware of your struggles. But after 3 years of trying, you finally did it. Telling him was the highlight of your life. Knowing how happy he would be only built up the excitement. You double checked with a doctor first and the moment they confirmed you were pregnant, you ran to Arthur. He was at the betting den trying to figure out some numbers. You flung the door open and ran to him. He stood up expecting you to be hurt

"What's wrong honey?" He asked rushing over to you. Tears were pouring from your face at this point and you couldn't help but sob with joy

"You can tell me baby" he reassured

"Oh Arthur. Something amazing has happened. I went to the doctor to confirm it because at first I just wouldn't believe it. But I'm pregnant Arthur. We're gonna have a baby" you cried. His mouth dropped open before he lifted you up and spun you around. He wanted to tell everyone else so much but you made him wait until you were 12 weeks. The moment the exact time of 12 weeks hit, and you and baby were healthy, that man ran with you to pollys, called a family meeting and screamed from the roof tops that he, Arthur shelby, was gonna be a fucking dad

Tommy:

You and Tommy hadn't been trying for a baby. You had been dating for over a year but this was all out of wedlock which only scared you more when you had to tell him. Polly was the one who told you first, went with you to get it confirmed. You begged her to be there when you tell him but she refused and said that you would be pleasantly surprised with Tommy. And that it was a private moment. But your nerves couldn't help but cry for her. You were both sat eating tea when you just blurted it out

"I'm pregnant and I know we are married and we havnt been trying and I'm really sorry I didn't mean for this to happen but I'm really happy that I'm going to be a mother and I just want you to be by my side and to not abandon me but I'm scared that you will and I just want you to stay with me" by the end you were sobbing into your hands. Pregnancy hormones plus normal hormones were making this increasingly difficult. Tommy didn't say anything for a while before walking around to your chair, crouching down and opening his arms for a hug. You glady excepted and sobbed into his neck

"Shhh. I don't want you to worry. Its not good for the baby. Now why would I leave you ay? You're gorgeous, talented, smart, kind, you make me laugh and now you're the mother of my child. If anything, only makes me love you more" he kissed your cheek as you calmed down and thanked the Gods that polly was right about the pleasant surprise

John:

John already had 4 children. And before you were married, he had asked if you wanted children. You both agreed that you didn't need to try, as your step children were enough to fill your heart with love. But that another child wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing..just unexpected. And that it was. You had thrown up every morning for the past week, always alone as John left early for work. Well he had a day off so was there to hold your hair back

"How long has this been going on for?" He asked as you flushed the toilet and sat on the bathroom floor in a pile of sweat and tears

"A week or two" you mumbled

"You don't think....?"

"I don't know John. Oh god. I mean, of course I'd love to have a baby with you. I just didn't expect it this soon. Polly said she's sure of it but I havnt checked with a doctor yet" you admitted. He sat down next to you and you leant into him

"Wow. Erm...it is certainly a shock. Although we can say it's surprising. We aren't exactly careful" he joked making you smile

"So what are we gonna do?"

"We're gonna have a baby, and raise the poor thing in this fucked up family, together" you smiled and he kissed your forehead before you fell asleep next to the bath, leaning on his shoulder

Finn:

You were young. Too young! The emotions you felt after finding out. You were 16, just 16 and sat with your parents contemplating on what to do

"You have to tell finn. Its only right" your mother told you

"Oh I know. I'm just scared. What if he stops loving me?" You asked with tears in your eyes. Your mum went to hug you and your dad handed you a sweet just like when you were a child

"What? If you eat it, the baby will eat it. Never too early to spoil your grandchild" he chuckled kissing your forehead before heading off to work. That day, you walked to pollys House and let yourself in. Went up to Finns room where, unsurprisingly, he was asleep

"Finny, I have to tell you something" you whispered laying ontop of him. He just groaned. You got up and sat on the edge of his bed

"I'm pregnant finn" he didn't react for a few minutes. You just sat and waited for the outburst

"What? You're pregnant? With a baby? Oh god"

"No finn, with a fucking kangaroo. Of course with a baby. I understand we are young, but I love you and want to have this baby with you. My parents are very supportive of it all, but in the end, it's your decision if you stay in our life or not. I don't want to force you" you had known for a while so had time to think things over without getting too emotional

"I'm scared. I can't lie. But I would never leave you. It takes two to tango. We made that together, and we'll love it together. If thats what you want?" You nodded your head with a few tears and hugged him tightly, grateful to have a man like that in your life

Michael:

You had been married for a year. Didn't even speak of children, or trying for a child. Never really acknowledged the social construct of wedded couples providing the population. And yet it happened

"Babe, can you come here for a second?" You yelled. You'd just got home from a hospital appointment

"What's up? Doctor say everything alright?"

"No. I've actually got a tiny little species growing inside of me as we speak" he started laughing, assuming you were joking, not understand what you actually meant

"I'm pregnant Michael. We're gonna have a baby" you told him eventually. His eyes went wide and his mouth dropped

"Mum is gonna kill me!" He said making you laugh

"Sweetie, need i remind you that we are mid twenties, married and no longer teenagers. Your mother will be thrilled" after it sunk in that we were teenagers anymore, he picking you up and spun you around, immediately dropping you after thinking it might hurt the baby. The love of your life, but an idiot sometimes
