Finn Shelby - The Midwife

19.You're pregnant

Polly's POV

I knew it. I knew as soon as she walked through them doors that she was pregnant. Slowly i stumped my cig out in the ashtray and stood up making my way over to the younger girl and that's when i grabbed her breast and that's when i knew my assumptions were indeed correct.

"You're pregnant" 

 "What are you talking about" Ell mumbled as she tried to move away from me

"I know a pregnant woman when i see one Ell and you, ha you are most certainly pregnant" i snort.

"You're pregnant?" Esme said as she looked her eyes full of excitement

"I don't know Polly thinks so but y'know being a midwife an all i thought i would have noticed"

"Ell just think about it our babies would be similar ages and they could grow up and become best friends, they could have sleepovers the lot" 

"Lets not jump the gun yeah Esme i don't know" that's the last thing i said before i walked out of that house. Little did i know that would be the last time i would see any of the Shelby's. 

*2 months later* 

It was true. I was in fact pregnant with Finn Shelby's baby. Angie was the one to do tests on me and she was the only one that knew apart from Polly and Esme but i hadn't seen them since that night. Finn came round everyday but i got my neighbour to tell him i was at work or the convent. I tried everything to avoid them and it was successful until one day Mrs. Johnson wanted me to get her husband while she was in labour.

"Where is he Mrs. Johnson"

"At the Garrison" shit.. the Shelby's pub. 

"Right i'll get him, are you okay Angie i'm leaving you with Maria" 

"Yeah it's fine you just go find Mr Johnson and tell him to get home and then you need to go home and relax" She sweetly smiled at me as she ushered me out of the house. Briskly, i made my way down the old, dirt covered streets praying that the Shelby's were away doing something but that all came to and end when i got to the Garrison and saw a slightly John Shelby leaning in the corner of the room with Esme just next to him talking to Polly and Michael. Sneaking my way through the crowd i managed to locate Mr. Johnson laughing with some of his friends.

"Mr Johnson Mr Johnson you need to come quick you're wife has gone into labour" i shouted over to noise making the pub go quiet and only to cheer when he stood up and ran out of the door.

"Ell.. is that you?" Esme asked shocked as she sauntered over to me with Polly and Michael hot on her heels.

"Yes" i lightly mumbled back.

"Oh god where have you been" Esme mumbled embracing me in a bone crushing hug.

"I've been busy working"

"You shouldn't be doing so much work while pregnant" Polly muttered while taking a drag of her cigarette causing Michael to look at me with wide eyes

"You're pregnant?"

"Shut the fuck up nobody knows"

"Not even Finn.."

"No" and if this can't get any better the other Shelby's come stalking in. 

"Ell i haven't seen you in ages are you okay" Finn questioned as he came closer noticing who i was. 

"Yeah i'm fine just been busy working, I've got to head back now but i'll see you later" i quickly blurt out kissing Finn on the cheek and trying to leave the awkward situation that was until he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him.

"You're not going anywhere i haven't seen you in 2 months and plus we're both staying at Poll's tonight i know tomorrow is your day off because i dropped by convent earlier."
