Sister Shelby- I Didn't Know

This was requested over on Tumblr

Last night I started to get these funny aches and pains in my stomach. Putting it down to my monthly arriving I ignored them after getting myself a hot water bottle and went to sleep. However I woke up about 3am in the worst pain I've ever experienced. These period pains are truly something else. Groaning I get out of bed and make my way done to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea hoping to ease the pain.
7am rolls around and I'm in agony. Aunt Polly and Tommy are now up and wondering what to do. Polly has tried everything she can think of to help with the pains, but nothing is working and the pains are just getting worse
"That's it's I'm ringing a doctor. This isn't normal"
"Yeah ok" Polly breathes out giving in, also so confused to why my pains are so bad this month. Tears are falling down my face
"Aunt Poll an I dying?" I ask
"No. Tommys going to ring the best doctor he can to come over and give you a check up"
"Poll I'm scared"
"I know, but you don't need to be, everything's going to be ok"

Within 30 minutes a doctor has arrived and had been checking me over
"Ok there's one last thing I want to check" he says taking our stethoscope
"You've already listed to her heartbeat" Tommy frowns in confusion, but the doctor proceeds to place his stethoscope on my stomach
"Aunt Poll what's he.."
"Shh" the doctor says as he listens "unbelievable. This is so rare. I've never seen this happen before"
"What? Am I dying?"
"No, your in active labour"
"I'm what?"
"She's what?" Aunt Polly, Tommy and I say all at the same time
"You had no idea you were pregnant?" The doctor asked
"I.. no. I had my monthly every month on time"
"Have you wet yourself yet?"
"Pardon?"
"He's asking if your waters have broken, but you will have wet yourself since you wouldn't have had any warning of it happening"
"No"
"Well then I think we should get you up on your feet and walking about. That should help"
"Who did this?" Tommy asks
"What?"
"Who got you pregnant. I'll fucking kill em"
"No you will not. Unless that is you were forced"
"No he was sweet, promise"
"Who..."
"Tommy let's do this later yeah? Go and ring the others let them know whats going on"

After walking around the house and my waters breaking, I was checked over and now it's time to push. Polly holds my hand while the doctor is at the other end. My brothers are all at the pup trying to figure out who the father is
"Ok next wave I need you to push"
"I can't"
"Yes you can. You can do this YN"
"I'm not ready to be a mum"
"Nobody ever is, but you heard the doctor when you feel that wave of pain you push as hard as you can" the wave of pain hits me and I push like Polly said
"Ok good. I need another big one like that ok?" the doctor says earning a nod from me. This goes on for a while until Im finally holding my baby I'm my arms. A little boy
"It's Isaiah's isn't it?" Polly sighs. I nod my head. We had been secretly courting each other for the last year now
"Toms gonna kill 'im Poll" I say worriedly
"No he's not. Everyone's going to hate me now. Im an unmarried woman with a baby. People are racist Poll they're going to hate us all"
"Who cares what people think. I'm going to find Isaiah and bring him here to meet his son and I'm going to stop your brothers from drinking themselves silly"

Isaiah came over to meet his son, while Polly does damage control with my brothers. When they come over they are a lot calmer that I expect them to be. I guess Aunt Polly can me very scary when she wants to be
"So what's little lads name?" Arthur asks through gritted teeth
"Walter Shelby Jesus" I smile looking down at the newborn
"I'll ask Esme where the kids old clothes are"
"Thanks John" I give him a little smile
"So when's the wedding?" Tommy asks
"Tommy not now" Polly scolds shaking her head "let them be for now. Right come on let's leave them alone"
"That's how they go into this mess" Arthur mumbles
"Out now. Come on" Polly usurers everyone out of the room leaving Isaiah and I to fall in love with our baby.
