Outer Banks Imagines

Be Enough|| JJ Maybank

Okay so this is based off the second verse of That Would Be Enough from Hamilton, it's one of my favorite Hamilton songs and I ship Eliza and Alexander so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were a kook, not only that you were a Cameron so you were kook royalty, and somehow you managed to fall in love and marry the pouge king himself JJ Maybank. And as it would seem when a pouge king and a kook princess fall in love sooner or later will come a little pouge/kook baby. Looking at the test in your hands that read 'pregnant' you started to smile, you had wanted a baby since you were a little girl the only problem was, you didn't know how JJ would feel about the new addition to your family. You hoped he would be happy but you also knew how Luke treated him growing up. So after about a week of knowing and trying to figure out how to tell JJ you decided to just tell him one night over dinner.
When JJ got home from work, at his mechanic shop, you had dinner almost ready.
"Smells good baby, I'm gonna take a shower real quick."
He said kissing you on the cheek.
Right as you were done setting the table you heard loud footsteps running down the stairs.
"You made it just in time I don't have to start without you."
You say to him smiling.
He kisses you on your forehead
"You'd never start without me you love me to much."
"Well you got me there Maybank."
You both sat down at the table and started eating.
"Baby why are you nervous?"
JJ asks out of the blue
"I don't know what you mean J, I'm not nervous."
"Yes you are, your biting your nails you do that when you get nervous."
You look at him with a slight glare for knowing you so well.
"Okay, here it goes...JJ I'm pregnant."
He looked at you with wide eyes. He shakes his head at you.
"I can't be a dad. You've seen my dad he's awful that's what was ingrained in me Y/N that's how I was taught to be a father-"
He starts breathing harder
"JJ you need to calm down your working yourself up over something that's not true you would never hurt our baby."
"Y/N, you don't know that. He beat the shit out of me on a daily bases. How will you trust me with our baby knowing that I could do that?"
"Because I know you JJ I know the man who always stands up for the little guy. Who despite everything he's been through can make his friends smile with no problem. I know you JJ you are the kindest, sweetest, most generous person I've ever met and I don't want to hear you say anything to the contrary."
You walk over to his side of the table and sit on his lap and he puts his head in your neck.
"Will you relish being a poor mans wife who's unable to proved for yours and this babies lives."
He asks softly
"I relish being your wife. Look at where you are, you have your own mechanics shop on the kook side of the island-"
"Yeah which Ward bought for me."
"Yes because he believes in you and so do I JJ. Look at where you started love, you started as a pouge and have gone full kook just like you've always wanted, you started with a mean daddy and I'm not gonna deny that but the fact that your alive is a miracle just stay alive and that would be enough. And if all else fails, love, I'm a trust fund baby and I help run my dad's business we will be fine."
"That doesn't change the fact that I had a sucky dad and I'm going to be a sucky dad."
"Baby if this child shares even a fraction of your smile, the smile that lights up every room we walk into, or a fragment of your great, big, beautiful, mind that would be enough for me. I just wish I could make you happy about having a baby."
JJ looks up from your neck for the first time.
"Sweetheart I'm so happy about having this baby. I just don't know if I'm gonna be good enough for it or you."
"JJ I'm not going to pretend to know about how your feeling but as long as you come home at the end of the day, that would be enough. I want to give you peace of mind about all this J. I know your dad was an asshole you won't hear any arguments out of me there but, I'm not afraid I know who I married, a man who despite all odds is sitting here with me, who loves me more than I could ever wish to be loved, and I know he's going to love our child just as much of not more."
You gently press a kiss to his forehead
"It's going to be hard to love someone as much as I love you. I just hope I can make you both proud."
"You make me proud everyday JJ, don't ever doubt that, my love."
