John- I'll Mary You Pt1

"How are you feeling?" my bestfriend Ada asks as she places a cup of tea in front of me. I just found out that I am pregnant and my first thought was to go to Ada's aunts house after telling my boyfriend, well now ex boyfriend. I've also been kicked out of my house by my parents
"Shit Ada. Utter shit' I sigh before taking a sip of my tea after blowing on it a little
"What did Alex say when you told him?" Ada now sits in front of me with her own cup of tea
"Not a lot really. Just said he doesn't love me anymore and doesn't want be a part of
the babies life. Told me I can do what I want with it"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Fuck Ada I'm an unmarried woman who's pregnant. If I keep the baby I'll be called a whore or worse, but I can't kill the baby. Maybe I go
into hiding and give birth in secret. Give it up" I struggle while sighing once again
"YN first of all my brothers will not allow anyone to call you names. Your like another sister to them and secondly if you want to keep the baby and raise him or her then do it. Fuck what people are saying. I'll help and so will aunt Poll. I'm sure she'll let you stay here until you find your feet"

Ada was right, Polly let me stay at the house, she was the next to find out I was pregnant. I'm yet to tell the Shelby brothers because I know they will have a fit. I'm now sat in the garrison, Tommy places my usual rum and coke in front of me but the thought is making me nauseous. I also know some woman who used alcohol to have an abortion, so I guess it's not to safe
"John boy, YN you both look miserable. What's wrong?" Arthur says taking a swig of his drink
"Nothing I'm fine" I give him a small smile
"Well.." John clears his throat "you know what it's been like since Martha died"
"God takes the best first" Polly says
"May she rest in peace" I sigh. Martha, Ada and I were inseparable
"Truth is, my kids have been running bloody rings around me. Running barefoot with the dogs until all hours"
"Poll give 'im ten bobs, some shoes. Is that it John?" Tommy says sounding annoyed
"Tom, we'd be better doing this without you" Poll looks at Tommy then back at John "now what's your point"
"What the kids need is a mother" I frown looking at John wondering where this is going "that's why I'm getting married"
"Does this poor girl know your going to marry her or are you just gonna spring it on her all of a sudden?" Polly places her cigarette in her mouth before lighting it up
"I've already proposed and she said yes"
"Who is this lucky girl?" I ask, feeling slightly sad that I'm kinda in the same boat. A young woman pregnant and alone
"It's errr. It's Lizzie Stark" my eyes widen at that name and his brothers start laughing
"John. Lizzie Stark's a strong woman and I'm sure she provides a fine service for her customers...." Polly chuckles
"I won't hear the word" John shouts emphasising the word won't "understand? do not use that word"
"What word is that John?" Tommy asks leaning against the wall
"You know what word that is"
"Everybody bloody knows"
"Right I want it known, if anyone calls her a whore again, I will push the barrel of my revolver down their throats and blow the word back down in to their hearts"
"Bloody hell John" my eyes widen
"Men and their cocks never cease to amaze me"
"Me either" I mutter
"What was that YN?" Tommy asks rolling his cigarette on his bottom lip
"Nothing. Ignore me" I give Tommy a quick smile but he frowns knowing I'm not telling him something "actually I'm not feeling well so I'm gonna head back to Polly's" I get up and notice Ada and Polly giving me a sympathetic smile
"You can't walk on your own. I'll walk with you" John sighs also getting up.

"So what's really going on?" John asks half way home
"Nothing. I actually don't feel well" that's the truth I do feel super nauseous
"There's something your not telling us, but Ada and Polly know. Is it Alex? has he done something to you?" John says looking annoyed. He never liked alex, in fact none of the Shelby's did
"We broke up" I tell him looking ahead of me not wanting to see is face
"Why?" that's when tears begin to pool in my eyes. John stops me from walking further "YN what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant" I quietly tell him feeling ashamed, but instead of being shouted at or John getting angry he pulls me in to him and hugs me "he left when I told him. I'm so scared"
"It will be ok YN"

Johns POV
If YN wants to keep this baby then we will all be there for her, whatever she needs. I drop her off at home then head back to the Garrison
"She ok John Boy?" Arthur asks me taking a swig of his drink
"Yeah" I sigh rubbing my face
"She tell you what's wrong?" Tommy asks
"She's fucking pregnant Tom and Alex has left her"
"He fucking what?" Tommy raises his voice
"Well now we all know YN predicament..."
"You knew!" Arthur yells
"Yes" Ada sighs
"It wasn't really our place to say" poll gives me an annoyed look "but now we all know, we look out for that girl. God knows she needs our support, her parents have kicked her out and she's unwed. The names she'll be called..." poll trails off. This gets me thinking. Do I love Lizzie? no, not at all. I've always had feelings for YN but she's my sisters best friend but what if I can solve both of our problems
"What if I marry YN?" I look up at my family
"What about Lizzie?" Ada laughs
"She doesn't need me. YN needs a husband and I need a wife to help with the kids. I can solve both of our problems"
"Oh John Boy what are we going to do with you?" Tommy shakes his head at me.
