Requested?: No? Well, kinda, I thought of the idea and then someone suggested Washington for it (:

Timing: Modern AU (I know I said it would be Hamiltime in the question part, but this is where the idea took me)

Reader's Relations: Martha's sister (For even more DRAMA) (but for the oneshot you have your surname, cause idfk what Martha's maiden name was and Google is being a piece of shit)

Other notes: Reader is a lawyer

---------------------------------

"You can't make me do that! Martha's my sister! And a damn brilliant one at that! I can't hurt her."

That ended with a slap in my face, "Listen you piece of shit, I don't care who you're related to, you belong to me and you will do as I say!"

I tried to hold back my tears as I slowly nodded, "That's it. I'm done." before I left the room, hearing my now ex's shouts for me to return, "Get back here and go and do your damn chores, (Y/n)!"

I left the house and just walked, seeing where my feet would take me and I eventually ended up in the local park, on a bench. I sat down, thankful there was no one around, and sobbed until I felt a hand on my shoulder, "Miss, are you alright?" I looked up at the voice and saw a familiar face.

"Georgia Martha Washington! Do not run off!"

"But, she's crying, Mum! Dad said to do the kind thing and ask!"

"You shouldn't talk to peop-(Y/n)?!"

"Hey, Martha," I muttered, standing up to face my sister as she hugged me, her brown hair in it's typical low bun, "What happened to you?"

"I stood up to my boyfriend after he tried to get me to do something I didn't want to do."

She gasped in response, "You're staying with us," before she grabbed my hand, taking Georgia's hand in her other and dragged us both back to the house she and her husband had.

-------------------------

"We're back, and look who I found in the park," Martha spoke, patting my shoulder.

"Aunty (Y/n)!" I heard Rupert's voice as he ran towards me, hugging my legs in his five-year-old glory, "I missed you!"

"It's good to see you too, Rupert, how have you been?" I responded, kneeling down to his level.

"Did someone hurt you?" he asked, lifting a hand to my cheek where my ex had slapped me. I chuckled and ruffled his hair, "No don't worry, I just banged into a wall. It was a self-endured 'ouch' moment."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded but he still looked at me with a distrusting look on his face, showing he didn't believe me. Before he could say anything George had entered the hallway, "(Y/n), it's good to see you again."

"It's nice to see you too. Been a while, huh?"

"Ummy, why is Aunty (Y/n) going to be staying with us?" Georgia asked, looking up at her mother, creating a tense atmosphere. Marth just chuckled and patted Georgia's head, "That is something you don't need to worry about, just think about it you get to wake her up every morning!"

Georgia's face lit up and she immediately dashed off shouting to her brother, "Rupert! We gotta start planning ways to wake Aunty (Y/n) up in the morning!"

I growled and sent a glare to my sister, "Thanks," I spoke with gritted teeth, "You know I value my sleep."

------------------------------

"So, (Y/n), you want to come?"

I sighed, "Martha, you know I don't know the Hamilton's very well."

"But I know that Philip loves you like you're his aunt! He'll be sad if you don't come!"

I weighed the options in my head; Spend time with my sister and brother-in-law, with my niece and nephew and see Philip, who was also adorable, or stay alone in a large house alone... I decided to go with the first option.

"Fine, I'll come."

"Well, I hope you two have fun."

"You're not joining us, wait!" I muttered, confused as to why George wouldn't want to see his, pretty-much-adopted son and his family.

"I've got too much work to do."

-----------------------------

"(Y/n), wait!"

"Congratulations!" I shouted, slapping George in the face, "You have invented a new kind of stupid: "A damage you can never undo" kind of stupid... An "open all the cages in the zoo" kind of stupid..."Truly, you didn't think the through?" Kinda stupid!" I asked, on the very of completely losing my temper.

"I-"

"Okay, let's review: I BEGGED you to take a break you REFUSED to! You're so SCARED of what people will do to you... YOU'RE the only person you EVER seem to LOSE to! So yeah, congratulations!"

"(Y/n), I-"

"You've redefined your legacy, congratulations-!" I shouted again, preparing to slap him in the face again.

"It was an act of POLITICAL SACRIFICE!!!" Was all he had to say in defence, after admitting he'd cheated on Martha with a random girl who had shown up at his house a few days after Martha and I had left with Georgia and Rupert to visit the Hamiltons.

"Sacrifice?!" I asked, starting to loose my temper, "I languished in a loveless relationship so my sister could be happy! Do you know what I'm here to do?!"

"(Y/n)-"

"I'm not here for you.... I know my sister like I know my own mind! You will NEVER find anyone as trusting or as kind! And a million years ago she said to me: "This one's mine!" So I stood by... Do you know why?!" I responded, deciding to let all my feelings out, "I LOVE MY SISTER MORE THEN ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE! I would choose HER happiness over MINE every time! Martha......is the best thing in our lives! So NEVER lose sight of the fact: You have been blessed with the BEST WIFE!! But yeah, congratulations for the rest of your life! Every sacrifice you make is for MY SISTER! Give her THE BEST LIFE!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!" I shouted, slamming the door behind me as I ran up to their bedroom, where Martha had shut herself in, hearing a small, "What's Aunty (Y/n) so upset with you about, Daddy?" come from Rupert, who I had realised saw the whole scene.

"Martha, can I come in?"

When there was no protest, I opened the door to see her huddled in a ball on the bed, sobbing as she scrolled through her phone. The sight broke my heart and I walked over, placing my hand on her shoulder, taking her phone from her, "Martha, can we talk?"

She looked up at me and sat up, snuggling into me, as I just rubbed her back to attempt to calm her down, "(Y/n), can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, you don't need to ask, you're my sister."

"Would you be my divorce lawyer?"

I looked at her blankly, expecting her to take a few days to think about it or to get George's side before she decided what to do, but I nodded, "Of course, if you want to go that direction, I'll help you.

----------------------

Several years later, Martha ended up forgiving George, after finding several letters, that I may or may not have written, explaining that men do stupid things when they're stressed, and that he definitely still loved her, and when they got remarried, I was ecstatic to be her Maid of Honour a second time.

So yeah, this wasn't how I imagined it, but it's what got written
