Arthur- Charlottes Favourite Uncle

Another request! I changed the daughters age from 1 year old to 2 hope that's ok.

Before Arthur YN was in a bad relationship. Her ex was cruel to her, but when YN found out she was pregnant she left in fear of her unborn child.
YN knew the Shelby's since being Polly's neighbour for many years so when they found out about her situation Arthur chose to help her.
They married before YN started to show and now 2 and half years later everyone now believes that YN's daughter, Charlotte, is Arthur's. Although the Shelby's know different and now YN and Arthur just found out she's pregnant.

"Carful Lots" YN says as the little girl is running round her uncles and aunt
"Ok Arthur what are we doing here?" John asks placing Esme on his lap holding a drink in his hand
"YN and I have some news. YN is pregnant. We're having a baby"
"No!" Charlotte shouts "no baby"
"Sorry she's struggling with the idea of a baby brother or sister" YN tells everyone
"No mamma no baby"
"Lots mummy has the baby in her tummy now your going to be a big sister" Arthur tried to explain "like I was a big brother"
"Noooo!" she cry's running over to her favourite uncle, Tommy which everyone has been shocked over, from a little age Charlotte took to Tommy, the most unaffectionate person they all know "tell them no baby" she says taking Tommys face in her tiny hands
"I'm sorry little one I can't do that" this causes the little girl to start crying more. Tommy holds her close trying to comfort her, letting tears and snot stain his blazer. Still shocked that Tommy is comforting Charlotte, YN looks at her husband who has the same facial expression as her.
Charlotte falls asleep in Tommys arms, so Arthur takes this opportunity to pick her up and carry her home with YN by his side.

The following day YN, Arthur and Charlotte are at Polly's house when YN starts to get cramps in her stomach
"Everything ok YN?" Polly asks looking at her nephews wife
"Erm I don't know. Something doesn't feel right"
"What do you mean?" Arthur panics
"My stomach hurt Arthur"
"I'll take you to the hospital. He's gonna be no help" Tommy suggests
"You ok looking after Charlotte for us?"
"Yes of course love. Go"
Unfortunately YN and Arthur found out that YN lost the baby. So returning to Polly's they were both feeling rather sad. Neither Arthur or YN had to verbally tell anyone that they lost the baby, it's like they all knew and when Polly did finally say
"The baby?" Arthur just gave a head shake, this being all that was needed for everyone to understand what's happened. Charlotte starts running around the house but when YN asks her to slow down, Charlotte sticks her tongue out and carry's on
"I'll be back in a minute" YN says sadly walking towards her daughter "Lots I need you to stop running, you might break something"
"I don't care" she huffs
"Sweetheart please. This isn't our house this is Polly's"
"Mamma you don't tell me what to do"
"Charlotte I'm your mother"
"I don't care!" Charlotte shouts
"Charlotte do not shout" YN makes her voice a little more stern
"I hate you and Arthur I hate you both"
"Charlotte Shelby! Do not speak to your mother like that!" Arthur shouts and the little girl runs off crying
"Arthur" YN sighs.

Charlotte runs off and finds Tommy sat quietly with a drink in his hand
"Uncle Tommy" she cries running over to him. Tommy immediately picks the little girl up
"What's got you so sad?" he asks
"Mamma and Arthur tell me off"
"Well what happened?"
"I was running and mamma said I'll break something"
"Well she's right you could run and break something or hurt yourself, but what else is wrong"
"Mamma and Arthur don't love me anymore so I said I don't love them"
"Now that's not very nice Charlotte, but why wouldn't they?"
"Because of baby"
"Ahhh" Tommy now realises what's going on "well, mamma and Arthur need you to be a very good girl because something has happened that's upset them"
"Me?"
"No, but when your not listening it might make them more sad"
"What happened to mamma? Why she sad?"
"They will tell you soon, but you need to be a good girl and help them. Do you think you can do that?"
"Maybe I could listen"
"Good girl. Now what do you say we go and find them for you to say sorry"
"Ok" Charlotte sighs. Tommy puts the little girl down and takes her hand and guides her to the kitchen where YN and Arthur are sat with a cup of tea
"I think someone has something to say" Tommy says
"Im sorry. I don't hate you. I love you both"
"We love you Charlotte, but you need to start listening"
"I know. Im sorry"
"Come 'ere" YN says opening her arms. She scoops her daughter up in her arms and places a kiss on her head. Arthur stands up and hold both his girls in his arms also places a kiss on Charlottes head then one on YN's.
