“Y/N, your needed at makeup.” One of the producers called through your trailer door. “coming.” You called wiping your face.
You made your way into your, f/c, bathroom and splashed your face with water to remove the tear stains on your cheeks before leaving your trailer. As you locked up you bumped into your older brothers of four years, Max and Charlie.
“Hey Y/N.” Max smiled throwing his arm around me. “Hi.” You smiled softly. “Are you ok?You seem, upset.” Charlie asked looking at you with concern. “I’m fine. Just tired.” You lied. “If your sure, but you’d tell us if something was up, right?” “Course. I’ve to head to makeup.” You shrugged before leaving them for makeup.
After getting your hair and makeup done you made my way to wardrobe. You played the character Eve, which was Aiden and Ethans little sister. Once you were in your dark purple top, black skinny jeans, dark purple top and black leather jacket you made your way to set.
Dylan, Tyler, Holland and your brothers were there when you got there. You sat beside Holland who smiled at you before going back to talking to Dylan.
“Y/N and Tyler to set please, Y/N and Tyler.” You heard over the speakers.
You grabbed your script before heading off to the makeshift bedroom belonging to your character. I turned on the laptop and got ready on the bed.
“And action.”
I looked at the screen before grabbing a pen from beside the laptop and writing something on the notebook as there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” You, Eve, said not looking up. “Hey.” Tyler, or Scott, said walking in. “Are you going to attack me again?” You asked looking up at him scared and going stiff. “Ok for the record it was Isaac that attacked you, not me.” He pointed. You rolled your eyes before going back to scrolling through the laptop. “Aiden and Ethan got hurt.” He said causing you to freeze. “What?” You asked looking up at him. “They were, umm, fighting some, creature, and it threw Ethan back. They’re bond thingy made Aiden also pass out.” He explained using hand motion. You looked at him in shock. “What!!” You screamed tears stinging causing him to jump. “Umm, yea. i was, umm, told to ..........get.............you.” He said hesitantly. You looked at him with tears rolling down your cheeks before slamming the laptop down and getting up. You walked past him before turning to him. “Well I can’t drive come on.” You called causing him to rush past you and you roll your eyes.
“Cut. Well done guys. Break for half and hour lunch.” The director called.
You made your way back to your trailer, trying to avoid your brothers and the rest of the cast. You managed to get into your trailer without anyone realizing and locked the door before bursting into tears.
Your boyfriend of 5 years had been secretly seeing someone else behind your back for the past year. To make it worse it was your best friend and he got her pregnant. He was your first actual boyfriend.
“Y/N?” You heard with a knock on the door. You recognized it as Crystal . You ignored her and lied on your bed, turning towards the wall. “Y/N are you ok?” Again you ignored her but cried harder. Crystal heard it. “I’m going to get your brothers.” She shouted through the door before leaving.
“Y/n?”You heard Max through the door. You didn’t say anything. “Y/n open the door.” He said banging on the door. You just stayed where you were. “Y/n I’m going to open the door myself if you don’t open it in 5″ charlie began to count.
After he got to 1 you heard the sound of a key turning and soon heard the door opening.
“Y/n?” Charlie asked as he and Max moved towards me. “Go away.” My voice cracked. “What’s wrong?” he asked softly sitting on your bed. “Noting, go away.” You said trying not to cry. “You and I both know that’s not true. Come here.” He pulled you up gently and made you sit properly. You looked up at them before looking down. “Have you been crying?” Max asked crouching in front of you. You said noting. “What happened y/n?” He asked you. “I broke up with bf/n.” You whispered before crying more. “What, why? I thought you were happy with him.” Charlie asked placing an arm around you. “He cheated on me with my b/f/n and got her pregnant.” “What!!” They shouted standing up. You looked at them. “I’ll kill him.”Max said. “Don’t.” You whispered. They looked at you in shock. “Y/N he hurt you.” Charlie said sitting beside you again. “Yea, and if you kill him then b/f/n child won’t have a dad. i couldn’t wish that upon the child as much as I hate it’s mother and father.” You said. They looked at each other. “Alright then. We’ll just talk to him.” Charlie said hugging you.
You cried into his chest as he rubbed your back.
“It’s ok. We’re here for you.” He whispered, kissing your head.
Info: Christmas for the Shelby clan were never special, but this year seems to be the worst as y/n the youngest has been diagnosed with the illness that takes many away, but y/n is adamant on giving the Shelby's something to remember her by.
Masterlist
Y/n lay in her bed, feeling tired yet energetic for the first time in weeks since her diagnoses. Many days she spent laying around, no energy for anything, barely able to eat anything substantial without throwing it back up. Her family were beyond worried for her and feared she wouldn't make it to the end of the year. They knew at this stage that their angel of light wouldn't recover from the deathly disease that took many, and they could only hope that she would see her favourite day of the year one last time.
Y/n herself knew that her days left were limited. At eleven years old she was a smart girl and knowing the results of her sickness being lethal, she wanted to make sure that her family would remember her, even when she was gone. She made it her mission to spend what little energy she had to find something for each family member, something that would cause them to remember the good times they had together. She wasn't aloud to leave her room unless she needed the bathroom, so all she had was what was in her room.
"How are you feeling today y/n?" Polly asked asked her niece as she walked into the isolated child's room with some soup. "Fine." The girl shrugged before looking up from her drawing to see the bowl in her aunts hand, "Soup again?" She groaned causing her aunt Pol to chuckle lightly. "Well nice to see your energy is back." The woman stated, even though she knew it was temporarily. "Can't I have something else for once?" The younger girl whined, moving her picture out of the way. "You know anytime you eat anything solid you get sick, this is only thing you can keep down." Her aunt replied before placing down the bowl on the bedside table and sitting beside the young girls feet as the girl slowly began to feed herself, hand shaking occasionally.
Polly watched her niece as she slowly fed herself, seeing the struggle she faced with each spoonful. The older woman sighed quietly, knowing the young girl didn't have much time left. Her little angel would be lucky to make it to Christmas, but she doubted it would be the new year. Pollys thoughts were disrupted when she heard coughing and looked up to see y/n slouched over, coughing up some soup. The young girls aunt tuts in comfort, taking the spoon out of her hand and replacing it with a tissue, which y/n placed to her mouth. Polly gasped as the tissue was brought back from the mouth to see blood on it. Y/n looked up horrified at the sight, wide eyes looking up at her aunt.
"It's okay." Polly comforted the girl, rubbing her arm gently before taking the half empty bowl and heading for the door, turning back to watch as the young girl rolled onto her side, falling asleep instantly. "Lord, watch over y/n as I pray she makes it till Christmas to enjoy her favourite holiday amen." Polly looked up before leaving the room.
--------------------------------
Tommy and Arthur sat at the kitchen table, smoking a cigarette each in silence. John stood against the kitchen stove, a glass of whisky in his hand. No one spoke, just sitting in silence until they heard sounds of footsteps walking down the stairs. The two smoking stubbed their cigarette when they seen their aunt come into view, eyeing her as she remained silent while she walked over to the sink with a bowl, cleaning it.
"How is she?" John asked, wanting to know how her youngest sister was. "Pol?" Tommy called out to his aunt when she didn't reply. "She coughed up blood today." Was all Pol stated, not looking up at her nephews as she finished drying and putting away. "Fuck." Arthur cursed, each Shelby brother knowing what that meant. "Is she asleep?" Tommy asked. "Yes, she tired herself after her coughing episode, barely ate even half of the soup I gave her, her appetite and energy is getting worse Tommy, I don't think she has long left." Polly stated, causing the Shelby boys to look down. "Don't say that Pol, y/n's a fighter." John stated in a broken voice. "John she's up there in that room day in day out, her energy is zero to none most days. You really think that's a good thing. She's withering away to nothing, which isn't a god thing." Pol spoke harshly, causing John to flinch, "Time to face it, we're not going to get our y/n back, we just need to make sure she's comfortable till her last." Pol stated softly, and all shelbys present nodded in agreement.
------------------------------
That night Tommy made his way to y/n's room before heading to bed. Ever since she was little she always snuck in her older brothers room, and since she was sick and unable to, Tommy began to do it. He wanted to make sure that she knew he was there for her, even though majority of the time the young girl was asleep by the time he checked in on her. The second oldest moved closer to the youngest bed, despite the fact he knew that aunt Pol hated any of them being close to her incase they got the spanish flu, her reasoning being it was bad enough one of them had it without everyone else in the house getting it. He moved her hair back, feeling the heat she obtained from her fever. Looking away from her, Tommy seen a picture she drew and smiled slightly before looking back at his youngest sibling.
"You need to fight this y/n, we need you to last for your favourite holiday, it'll be the best one yet you'll see." Tommy spoke softly, kissing the girls head before moving towards the door
His movement was halted by the sound of abrupt coughing coming from behind him- his eyes widened as he heard chocking and turned around to see y/n sitting up, struggling to breath.
"Aunt Pol." He shouted loudly as he opened the bedroom door, before rushing back to help his sister.
Y/n continued to struggle to breath as Tommy reached her, and he moved behind her and helped her it up right, thumping her back gently to dislodge what was most likely phlegm stuck in her throat. He didn't look up as Polly came rushing into the room, her house coat thrown on in her rush to get to her nephews shouts. She gasps as she sees Tommy trying to help his sister with the phlegm, her eyes widening when the young girl finally does, thick green and bloody mucous flying out of her mouth followed by constant heaving. Tommy rubbed the young girls back as she got sick.
"This isn't good Tommy." Polly stated with sadness as she watched her niece lie in her brothers arms tiredly after her episode. "Call the family, tell them to drop everything and come home." Tommy stated as he rocked his sister gently as she fell back asleep. "She's not going to make it, is she Tommy." Polly asked in defeat. "We'd be lucky if she makes it to tomorrow." Tommy stated with a sigh, realizing how bad his sister was.
----------------------------------
The following day the family gathered as Polly requested, and were currently in y/n's room, all sitting around her bed, Tommy had stayed with y/n after her episode while Pol called the family and told them to come to the house. They all knew by the call that y/n wasn't going to make it as they hoped
Polly sat at the head of the bed, watching y/n's face as sweat formed in beads, rolling down the young girls face, Arthur and John leaned against the wall, heads down in defeat as they realized that their sister was going to die from the one thing they couldn't protect her from. Ada sat with Finn on her knee, hugging the young boy close, not believing all that was happening while Finn sniffled into her chest, crying of the soon to be loss of his twin sister. Tommy was still lying with y/n, having not moved from his place after helping her earlier in the night. The Shelby family sat in silence just watching over the youngest as she struggled to breath properly, the silence only being disrupted by coughing before y/n's eyes opened
"Hey , it's okay." Tommy soothed the young girl, rubbing her arm in comfort. "Tommy." The girl stated weakly, voice barely audible. "Yeah, it's me, how you feeling." Tommy asked, watching as y/n's eyes fluttered consistently. "Tired." Was all she got out before closing her eyes again. "Hey y/n, keep your eyes opened." John stated, wanting her sister to stay awake in fear of her not opening her eyes again. "Can't, so tired." Y/n stated, not able to fight the heaviness in her eyes. "Y/n sweetie, it's okay, you can rest now." Pol spoke, tears in her eyes as she spoke. "Under, bed." Y/n stated, "Love you." She stated before closing her eyes.
The Shelby family watched as the youngest eyes closed for the last time before listening to her breathing slow before it's non existent. Tommy brought a finger to y/ns neck to feel a pulse before shaking head in sorrow, putting it down when he couldn't find one. Finn started shouting for y/n causing Ada to pull him close to try and ease his hurt, tears in her own eyes as she allowed them to fall, Arthur punched the wall in anger before John had to force him out of the room, tears in both their eyes. Polly stared at her niece with glossy eyes, not believing she was truly gone. The Shelby family had lost their angel, and Christmas wasn't Christmas without her.
Info: Y/n ends up deep into the woods, not knowing riven and sky had followed her. A frozen one attacks her but doesn't succeed as she is saved by the boys. They come towards her but she doesn't let them near her, afraid she will hurt them before running to the greenhouse, begging for help.
Masterlist
Y/n gasps for breathes as she runs through the forest. Looking up, she screams in frustrating as ice sparks from her hands onto the ground while she falls onto her knees. Leaning her arm on a trunk of a tree she puts her head against it as she starts crying once again.
She freezes as she hears a noise behind before turning and screaming. She pushes back with her arms as a frozen one comes for her. Crying in fear, she covers her face only to hear a screech. Opening her eyes she sees a branch pierced through it's chest.
------------------------------
Riven and Sky chase after y/n as she heads towards the woods. Hiding behind a tree they see her lose control.
"Mate she needs help." Riven stated, concerned for his friend as they watched her break down crying. "I know, and we haven't been there for her." Sky stated, his heart breaking seeing his best girl mate so broken. "Yeah well, we're here for her now, even if she's stubborn about it." Riven said with determination, going towards her only for Sky to grab his shoulder. "Wait." "Sky, she needs us." Riven glared at Sky, shrugging his hand off his shoulder roughly. "I know but we also have to be cautious. Her feelings are all over the place meaning her powers aren't under control. We can't just go over to her or else we'll get hurt causing her to feel worse." Sky stated, looking Riven in the eye.
They both snapped there heads towards y/n when they heard her screaming. there eyes widened when they seen a frozen one leaning over a terrified y/n. Riven looks around and grabs a branch from the ground before throwing it at the creature, watching as it crumbled onto the ground. They moved closer with caution as y/n scrambled to her feet.
"I thought frozen ones weren't seen in century's." Riven stated. "We thought that about burned ones too but you know." Sky stated as they watched y/n sand up properly.
"Stay away.." She begged them, putting her hands up shakenly. "Just calm down y/n, please. We can help you." Sky stated, putting his hands up in surrender. "No you can't." Y/n said, stepping back with distraught. "Y/n we're sorry we weren't there for you when you needed us but we can help you now. You just have to let us in." Riven stated, tears unwillingly building in his eyes. "I'll just hurt you." She whimpered, leaning against a tree. "No you won't, I know you won't." Sky stated softly as he moved closer, placing a hand out, hoping she would take it. She looked at him with sadness before turning to Riven who nodded in assurance. "No." She shouted as she shook her head before running off in the direction of the greenhouse.
-----------------------------------
Harvey, Terra and Sam were in the greenhouse working away when suddenly the door slammed against the wall. Startled, they looked up to see a hysterical y/n burst into the room.
"Y/n?" Terra asked as she and Sam stood up. Y/n didn't move but instead stood in the room shaking. "Terra, get headmistress Dowling, tell her that it's happened again, she'll know what you mean. Sam tell Headmaster Silva the same." Harvey ordered his children as he stood up as well. "Is she okay?" Terra asked, concerned for her roommate. "Now Terra." Harvey said urgently causing his children to rush off.
Y/n breath increased rapidly as she began to ventilated.
"Y/n, listen to me you need to calm down." Harvey stated as he closed the door gently. "I can't." She replied in rapid breathes. "Control your breathing or else you will lose control of your magic." He stated, coaching her with his breath.
Y/n moved her vision to professor Harvey and slowly tried to catch her breath. She sat on the bed as her breathing slowed down.
"I can't do it anymore." Y/n stated, silent tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked down at her lap. Harvey just listened as she continued to talk. "I am tired of losing control and the feeling of aloneness and fear. I can't keep living like this." She stated before turning her vision back to the professor, "Which is why I am asking you, begging you, to remove my powers." She stated as Dowling and Silva walked into the greenhouse.
Dowling and Silva froze in shock. Harvey looked at y/n with confusion before turning to his peer teachers in surprise.
"Y/n what your asking, isn't possible." Dowling stated, moving carefully towards her student. "Oh don't lie, I know it is Farah. I read it in the so called forbidden books." Y/n stated, looking at Dowling. "Y/n, what your asking for................" Silva started, placing a hand in front of him. "Please, just take them. I can't do it anymore. I'm afraid of what's to come. With the frozen ones after me I just can't do it anymore, I'm done." Y/n cried out, putting her hands on her face as sobs racked through her body.
The teachers turned their attention to the door as it opened once again. Sky and Riven came into the greenhouse with looks of worry before seeing y/n sitting on the bed beside Harvey.
"Y/n." Sky breathed in relief causing y/ns head to shot up. "No, please, no, stay away." She cried in a loud voice as they tried to come to her.
Silva quickly made his way to the boys and held them away from her. Y/n stood up from the bed and ran towards the exit for the halls. The two began to fight their trainer as he began to push them out of the greenhouse when they seen her try to run.
"Boys you need to leave." Silva stated in a stern voice, starting to struggle against the two boys as they fought back. "No, please, stop." Y/n screamed as Harvey held her in a tight embrace. "Silva she needs us." Sky fought with his second father, trying to get to his friend. "She's needed you for awhile now and you weren't there. Your making her restless so you need to leave." Silva stated in a harsh tone "Silva please." Sky begged, hearing the cries of y/n. "Sky, please, leave. It's the best thing you can do right now." Silva stated, finally pushing Riven and Sky out of the greenhouse before closing the door.
Y/n cried and screamed out as Harvey kneeled on the ground with her still in his arms. Her vision was no longer clear and she couldn't see anything around her as she heard her teachers trying to help her.
"Please." She begged tiredly, "Please."

warnings: Mentions of rape
Part 2
The Garrison was practically empty as it neared closing time. Tommy Shelbys youngest sister y/n, laughed as she talked to Grace, cleaning up the counter. Grace placed some empty glasses on top of the bar counter as she cleaned up some of the tables that were empty. The two looked up when they heard the back room opening, seeing Tommy coming through. He nods at Grace before turning to his sister as she moved from behind the counter.
-------------------------------------------
"Y/n, let's go home." Tommy stated, heading to front door as he lit a cigarette he had placed in his mouth.
"I'm helping Grace close up tonight." Y/n stated, not looking at her brother as she wiped down a table.
"No your not." Tommy stated, turning to look at his sister.
" Yes I am." Y/n stated, looking up at her brother with an annoyed look.
"Y/n Shelby......."
"I'm not a kid Tommy, I'm capable of walking home on my own." Y/n stated, moving towards her brother in intimidation
"Your under my control until your eighteen y/n so I suggest you come with me or I swear I will fucking drag you home." Tommy threatened, moving closer to y/n as she took a step back
"Finns eleven and you let him walk around on his own. What's so different for me?" Y/n asked, crossing her arms.
Tommy looks at Grace who was stood behind the counter watching the Shelby siblings argue.
"Listen y/n, your a girl, who has little to no idea on how to protect herself. I just want you to be safe." Tommy sighed, stubbing his cigarette in a an ash tray before placing his hands on his sisters upper arms.
"Fuck that Thomas, I'm well capable of looking after myself." Y/n spoke confidently, shaking her head in disagreement.
"Mr. Shelby if I could, I think y/n is capable of walking home on her own, she's took care of drunk men in here on the daily. On her own may I add." Grace piped up from where she stood, causing Tommy to turn his gaze to the Irish woman with a glare.
"Tommy please, trust me." Y/n pleaded, placing a hand on his arm as he turned his gaze back to his sister
"Of course I trust you sweetheart, it's others I don't." He tried to explain, placing a hand on her cheek gently
"I promise to be careful." She smiled softly, causing Tommy to sigh and shake his head
"I want you back before midnight, any later and I won't let you do it again." Tommy stated reluctantly causing y/n to smile widely.
"Thanks Tommy." Y/n smiled, hugging him quickly before leaving to the back room.
"She's a good person." Grace stated, looking at Tommy as he stood still for a moment.
"It's those around us who aren't" Tommy stated, taking out a cigarette once again.
"She has you wrapped around her little finger." Grace spoke daringly, watching as Thomas glanced at her
"Ah." Thomas nodded, opening the door.
"Goodnight Mr. Shelby." Grace called back before silence consumed the pub floor.
-------------------------------------------
Y/n sighed and gave a yawn as she started walking towards her home from childhood. The streets were relatively quiet since majority of it's residents gone home for the night. Taking a turn y/n slowed down when she heard something. Looking behind her, she sees nothing so decides to keep going when suddenly, she's grabbed from the side. She tries to scream but a hand is placed over her mouth as she's pulled further into an alley way. Looking up at her attacker, her eyes widens when she sees the eyes of the drunk man who had grabbed her.
"Goodnight Grace." Y/n called out as she and Grace parted ways after locking up for the night.
"Night y/n, be safe walking home." Grace nodded to the young girl before leaving y/ns sight.
"Hey pretty girl, let's have some fun." He said before pushing her into the wall, forcing himself onto her as she tries to fight him.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Tears in her eyes, y/n didn't say anything as the man fixed himself up and left her in the dark. Sniffing slightly, she placed a hand over her mouth to silence the sobs that left her body as she realized what happened.
Gaining composure, she slowly walked him, a look of terror as she kept looking around her. Her hair and clothes were all over the place as she held her shoulders, trying to keep the sleeve of her dress which ripped up for modesty.
Turning the corner to her childhood home, she groaned as she seen a glow of light in the sitting room when she opened the door. She froze when she seen it was Tommy, who had stayed awake to make sure she got home safe. Turning towards the stairs, she cringes as she hears her brother calling out to her, but ignores it as she heads to her room, closing the door.
Reaching the top of the stairs, Tommy knocks on his sisters door before opening it when he doesn't hear anything. Sighing in relief, he seen her lying on her bed with her back towards the door. Satisfied that she was home he nodded his head before leaving, closing the door behind him not knowing y/n was still awake with tears falling down her cheeks as she cried softly.
"Y/n?" Tommy called out, moving out to the hall in confusion when she doesn't answer him.
"Y/n" He tried again, moving to the bottom of the stairs and making his way up the stairs.
-----------------------
-----------------------
Two weeks after the incident, y/n was still struggling with that night. Every little noise she heard caused her to jump and feel uneasy. She avoided walking in the dark as much as possible, going as far as taking the early shifts in the Garrison instead of the late ones. She avoided close contact with her brothers as much of possible, not evening sneaking into Tommy's room as she always did from a young age since the war, a tradition which eased both her and her brother that they were home and safe, instead opting to stick around Polly and Ada when she was home.
Arthur and Tommy sat at the kitchen table when she made her way done the stairs, yawning as she reached the bottom stairs. She froze when she seen the two boys sitting at the table before looking at Polly as she walked into the kitchen from the living room where Finn was.
Y/n smiled weakly and grabbed the piece of toast that was left on the table before nodding and leaving quickly. Tommy watched with squinted eyes as his youngest sister left the house before moving towards the window, watching her cross the road and head the direction of the Garrison.
"Morning love." Polly smiled at her as she turned off the stove which held the breakfast for the morning.
"Morning Pol." She smiled softly, hiding the nausea which started to come up at the smell of the bacon.
"Want some breakfast?" Her aunt asked as she plated the breakfast.
"Not hungry." Y/n replied, eyeing the plates Pol placed in front of Tommy and Arthur.
"Y/n sit done and eat some breakfast love, we haven't seen much of you lately." Tommy tried, moving the chair beside him out before patting it for her to sit.
"I have morning shifts in the Garrison so I better get going." Y/n stated as she grabbed her coat from the hanger.
"Take some toast at least." Polly chimed, grabbing a piece of toast from Tommy's plate and throwing it in the girls direction.
Tommy and y/n had always been close, both before and after the war. When the Shelby boys had told their family that they would be leaving to fight in the war, y/n, at the young age of 12 had burst into tears and clung onto her second oldest brother, refusing to let go causing Polly and Ada to forcibly pull her off him so Tommy could leave. Tommy was heart broken seeing his sister like that and when he had returned he decided to become the carer of his younger sister. The two always done things together so to have y/n not wanting to be near him or talk to him pained him. She was his light, the main reason for getting up everyday.
"Tommy something ain't right with her." Arthur stated, turning his attention to Tommy as he looked out the window.
"Pol has she said anything to you?" Tommy asked as she moved away from the window and took a puff from his cigarette.
"She's probably just not feeling well, you know how she gets when she's close to her time of the month." Polly stated, sitting at the table and grabbing a cigarette from the open packet on the table.
"No it's not that, she's never been one to be away from one of us, she craves some form of affection from us whenever were close by." Tommy explained, breathing out smoke with a shake of his head, "Now she tries to avoid us like were the fucking plaque." He continued, leaning on the back of a chair.
"I'll talk to her" Polly stated with a nod, knowing that even though he would never say, it was hurting Tommy that his sister didn't want to be near him.
"Come on Arthur, let's get John before we head to work." Tommy spoke, stubbing his cigarette butt and moving away from the table while he rolled his shoulders. "Let me know how y/n is Pol." He finished behind his shoulder before leaving the house, heading towards his car.
----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Y/n sighed as she headed home from the garrison. Entering the house she rubbed her eyes in tiredness before heading towards the kitchen where Finn was sitting at the table. She smiled at her younger brother and ruffled his hair affectional when she passed him.
"Hey Finn." She smiled softly at him as she sat across from him.
"Hey y/n." The boy smiled back as Polly came in.
Y/n looked up to greet her aunt only to see a hard look on her face.
"Finn, go into the living room, I need to talk to your sister." She stated, pointing to the door.
Finn looked between his aunt and sister who nodded at him to do as he's told.
"And no eave dropping." Polly shouted at him as he closed the door.
--------------------------
"What's this about?" Y/n asked in confusion as Polly sat in front of her.
"I heard something, and I want to hear it from you, no lies, just the truth." Polly stated as she put her hands together in front of her.
"About what?" Y/n asked in clear confusion.
"Where were you today?" Polly asked, noticing as y/ns breathing hitched.
"At work."
"Not all day you weren't. Ada was at the garrison and said you left early, which isn't like you. So, where were you?"
"Pol, please." Y/n pleaded softly.
"Y/n where the hell were you?" Polly asked, her voice raising slightly.
"The doctors okay." Y/n snapped, throwing her arms out in front of her. "I went to the doctors." She finished quietly as she looked down.
"Why?"
"I don't see how that is any of your concern...."
"Y/n Shelby, your 16 years old, you don't go to something like the doctors unless me or Tommy know, so why were you at the doctors." Polly asked in a stern voice.
"I was late. I kept getting sick, I didn't know what to say so I went on my own." Y/n replied in weak voice, causing her aunts face to soften.
"Jesus Crist y/n, your not pregnant are you." Polly asked in shock, being proved right when y/n started crying.
"I don't know what to do, I didn't want it." She stated, shaking her head rapidly.
"You mean your were....." Polly asked, not able to finish the sentence.
"I couldn't stop it Pol, I tried but he was too strong, I couldn't." Y/n explained as sobs escaped her lips.
"Oh y/n, sweetheart." Polly rushed out of her seat and pulled y/n into a hug, petting her hair as she shook with her tears.
"I couldn't stop him Pol, I tried, I really tried." Y/n stated, pulling away slightly.
"Hey hey, none of this is your fault, okay, what that bastard did to you was not your fault so don't you dare blame yourself okay." Polly shushed the young girl, rubbing her arms when they pulled apart.
Y/n sniffed and wiped her eyes .
I don't know what to do Pol, I don't think I can be a mother." Y/n spoke with a shaky voice
"You don't have to be, I know someone who can help you alright. This can all go away." Polly soothed her youngest niece, tucking some hair behind y/ns ears.
"Do I have to tell Tommy?" y/n whimpered slightly
"No, no one will know. It will be like it never happened."
"But it did, it's stuck in my head like a record on replay."
"It will get better y/n, time will heal." Polly stated, not knowing that the youngest of the Shelby's had heard everything.
-------------------------
Tommy sat in the back room of the garrison, smoking a cigarette as he waited for Grace to bring him the drink he ordered. He looked up to the door when he heard the sound of frantic feet before the door slammed open, the youngest Shelby coming into view.
--------------------------------
"Finn, what is it?" Tommy asked, watching as his youngest brother fidgeted in his position.
"It's y/n." The younger boy spoke uneasy.
"What about her? Finn, what's wrong with our sister?" Tommy asked, placing a hand on Finn's shoulder to get him to look at him.
"She's, she's pregnant Tommy." Finn relayed, not remembering the vital information of how it happened.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Tommy asked, enraged about the new found information.
"Tommy your drink." Grace called out.
"Don't fucking need it." Tommy cursed abruptly at the bar maid before storming out of the bar, the locals watching him leave before looking at Finn who just ran out to follow his second oldest brother.
--------------------------------
Polly looked up from her position on the couch as she heard the door slam open. She placed a finger to her lips when she seen it was Tommy before caressing y/n's hair gently as she lay with her head in her aunts lap. Tommy sighed and moved in front of the two women.
"Y/n wake up, now." Tommy spoke as he shook his sister harshly.
"Tommy for fuck sake leave her alone." Polly told him as y/n opened her eyes with tiredness.
"Stay out of this Pol, y/n my office now." Tommy pointed to the women as he spoke to them.
"Jesus Christ Tommy can you just calm down and leave her be. What's this about?" Polly asked, holding y/n as she steadied her niece to a seating position, still half asleep.
Never you mind what this is about Pol, this is between me and y/n." Tommy stated, grabbing y/ns elbow and dragging her to his office.
Y/n stood at the door even after the door was slammed in her face before breaking down in tears. She leaned against the door and covered her face as she realized that her brother had called her a whore and really believed that she would just sleep around.
"Tommy, your hurting me." Y/n winched as she frantically tried to get him to let go of her.
"Sit down." He stated, ignoring her as she pushed her into his office and closing the door behind them before moving to his seat.
"What's going on?" Y/n asked, looking at her brother in nervousness.
"I heard something which I didn't like the sound of, and I'm hoping you can confirm that what I heard was a big misunderstanding." Tommy spoke as he lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.
"Well, what did you hear?" She asked shyly, moving uncomfortably in her seat.
"One of my sisters are pregnant, and I want to find out who the fucking guy was." He stated, leaning on his desk as he sat up. y/n looked up at him in fear. "Well y/n, who was it?"
"Tom..."
"Fucking answer me y/n, who was he?" Tom shouted causing y/n to flinch involuntarily
"It's not what you think?" Y/n tried to explain.
"Just tell me who it was y/n?"
"I don't know." She spoke, looking down in shame.
"You don't know. You fucking sleeping around y/n huh. You a fucking whore now eh?" Tommy screamed at his sister.
"No it's not like that." Y/n cried, looking up at her brother as he stood up and threw glass to the wall ,causing her to flinch.
"No? Cause the way I see it I have a 16 year old sister who's a fucking whore, and letting men take at advantage of her but didn't think of the possible outcome and is now fucking pregnant."
"Tommy please...." Y/n begged, not able to look at her brother in shame.
"Just get the fuck out of my sight y/n, I don't want to see you right now." Tommy stated, opening the door and grabbing y/n by the shoulder, pushing her out before slamming the door in her face.
"Y/n?" Polly asked cautisly, seeing her youngest niece in tears at her bothers office door.
"Can we go tomorrow Pol? I just want this nightmare to be over." Y/n pleaded as she looked up to her aunt, her eyes full of tears.
"Yeah, we can go tomorrow." Polly smiled softly at the young girl, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and rubbing her arm gently "Come on, let's make you a nice warm bath and then straight to bed, we have a busy day tomorrow."
"What's tomorrow?" Ada asked, coming into the hall, looking in confusion when she seen her sisters tears.
"Come help me with your sister Ada." Polly spoke as she helped y/n up the stairs "She needs you right now." Was all she said before leaving into the bathroom to start the bath.

Relationship: Reagan family x reagan reader
Warning: Mentions of school shooting
Series masterlist
Based on early season
25 year old y/n Reagan was the youngest of Commissioner Frank Reagans kids. Being the youngest her family cared for her deeply. Her life was slightly different than those of her family, being a high school teacher was something she always wanted to do. The family line of cops and army life never appealed to her, so like her sister she steered clear of that workforce. She remembered her beloved deceased brother Joe letting her hold his unloaded gun, and she hated the feel of it. She didn't like the thought of having t put a bullet into someone, even when it was to protect someone else. Y/n thought PE and Biology as well as coached the girls baseball team (one she fought for when she first joined the school) every Wednesday afterschool.
She was closest with her gramps, they often played chess together and many a night Frank would come home from work and see his father and daughter sitting in the living room watching friends ( though if anyone asked Henry would strongly deny it). Her pops often joined her for the coaching sessions before heading back to his where he would cook dinner before she left back to hers.
She was the younger sister that Linda always wished for, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see y/n helping her sister in law around the house or cooking, and Linda always made sure to make time to help y/n get her class room ready for the school year.
Y/n was quiet compared to her older siblings, and because of that Danny had always been overprotective of her. He didn't like her being around cases the family worked on, and often kept her away from the conversations if she could, making dinner conversations of cases short when she was present. Many a time he would meet her for coffee during the week, or bring her some lunch when he had a case that reminded him of her. He made sure that y/n would always text when she was home if she was out late or if a criminal was on the lose.
Jamie had made it a habit to sit down and have drinks with her after a tough day. Despite being there to help her brother, y/n was never told of his day and what lead to him becoming so stressed, which frustrated her but she accepted it none the less.
Being the only two girls of a family of boys, Erin and y/n often spent Sundays doing something together before church and family dinner. Their schedule prevented them from spending much time together so when they could, they would leave for a week, Nikki joining them, and head somewhere they hadn't been before to explore.
Her family always looked after her, and father was no exception. Frank always made sure to check up on her, regardless on what went on that day. He knew the school shootings happening in America effected her, and wanted to make sure that she knew she was safe and nothing would happen to her. He even went so far to make sure that the Reagan family saying 'please don't hurt my family' was drilled in her head. She was well protected and always had someone watching her back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Reagan family at at the dinner table at Henry and Franks for their weekly Sunday family dinner after church. Y/n sat beside her dad and Erin, picking at her food as she half listened to her family talking about the recent increase of school shootings around the town. Too focused in her own thoughts, she jumped when she was elbowed before glaring at Erin in annoyance.
"Oww, what?" Y/n snapped at her sister before whipping her head to face her dad as he raised a finger in warning.
"Gramps was asking what's wrong with you, your not eating much." Erin stated, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"Sorry Gramps, just thoughts spiraling around my head. Classes have been busy with assessments and we had a practice session today." Y/n explained, watching as her family turned their attention to her, Danny eyeing her with slight concern.
"Teachers have a busy schedule? I always thought they just gave us work and went home to rest." Sean stated causing y/n to laugh slightly.
"Well if you consider grading papers, correcting homework, teaching kids new material, planning classes and making sure that you are all ready for the real world easy, than yeah it's a job for lots of rest." Y/n explained causing Jack to laugh at his brother playfully.
"But compared to dads job it's easy right?" Sean asked, looking towards his aunt.
"Every job is difficult in it's own way Sean, no one has an easier job than anyone else. It may seem like it to you but I'm sure dealing with kids on the daily ain't easy. I mean I only have you and Jack and sometimes I struggle with it." Linda explained to her son.
"So you don't just rest?" Sean asked, second guessing everything he thought.
"God I wish." Y/n stated, stabbing her meat and taking a bite as everyone laughed at her reaction.
"As opposed to your very busy schedule. Everything will work out in the end y/n, your a great teacher and those kids are lucky to have you as their mentor through life." Frank stated, putting a hand on his youngest daughters shoulder as she chuckled lightly.
"Mentor through life, way to be dramatic dad." y/n laughed, taking her glass of wine and taking a sip.
"You seem to forget he's commissioner of police y/n, dramatic is in the job description." Jamie stated and everyone laughed once again.
Y/n shook her head as she laughed with her family, glad to have them around her. She glanced in front of her to see Danny looking at her with a small smile. He winked at her in assurance before taking a bite of his food, and y/n smiled at him before looking down at her plate o continue her own food. Grabbing her glass of wine, she smirked at her pops when he mentioned about needing a rematch on the chess game they had played last week.
"Didn't y/n win that one?" Nikki asked, smirking at y/n who nodded her head in appreciation.
"Nah, I was going easy on her." Henry stated, taking a drink from his own glass.
"Nah, your gramps is just a sore loser, I won fair and square right Jack." Y/n asked, glancing at the boy who had watched their game.
"Right." Jack nodded causing everyone to laugh once again.
----------------------------------------------
The following day y/n was teaching her regular PE class, and she watched the group of students as they started to run laps of the court. Hearing footsteps outside the door, she folded her arms and turned her head to the sound. Deciding to check it our, she made her way over to the door, ready to give out to students ditching class, only to see no one. Squinting her eyes in confusion, Ms. Reagan made her way back into the hall, clapping her hands to gain the students attention.
"Alright guys, grab some balls and were gonna do volleyball. One on one." She announced, grabbing the net full of soft balls before placing it in the middle of the floor, allowing students to grab them and pair up. "The rules are...."
Y/n was interrupted by an echoing bang being heard, causing the students to look around the hall. Hearing it again, closer than before, the students flinch at the sound. Y/n's eyes widened as she realized the sound, the sound of a gun. She looked around the hall before seeing the storage unit, knowing it wasn't exactly spacious but she needed to figure out something before the person responsible for the shots found them. They couldn't stay in the hall it was way too open.
"Alright, everyone be calm, we need to find somewhere to hide, no need to panic, just follow me into the storage unit, keep your heads low, does everyone understand me." Y/n explained slowly, indicating for everyone to crouch down, "Treat it like the ones we practiced. Hid behind anything in there, I will lock and block the door once everyone is in there, it's going to be a tight squeeze but make it work."
Y/n watched the students eyes widen in fear as they realized what was happening. Shushing the students who whimpered, and knowing they didn't have much time to waste, she began pushing students towards the unit. Students began to follow each other and y/n ran towards the door to lock it and grabbed the bag which had held the balls to make it more difficult for the shooter to determine people were present.
Upon making it to the unit she locked the door and ordered students to grab some of the ridiculously heavy gym mats to barricade it, blocking the windows that would risk exposure. She sighed deeply and watched students huddle close to their friends, sliding down the mats to be close to the door.
"Okay guys, I know you have phones on you. I need you to contact those who need to know what's going on and put them on silent. Do not tell anyone where you are hiding, we do not know who or where they are, but they may have someone's phone or be able to track our phones, understood." Y/n whispered sternly, trying to keep everyone, and herself, calm.
Y/n grabbed the laptop left at the side of the storage unit for emergencies and checked to see if any emails was out about what was going on. She knew it was only a matter of time till one, or both, f her brothers would catch wind of what was going on and would make their way to aid, her father would no doubt follow. She just needed to keep her students safe and sane until help arrived.
-------------------------------
Danny sat at his desk as he worked on some paperwork with Jackie after finishing another case. Turning to his computer he began to look at some evidence from labs when something came over the radio.
"School shooting in operation, Location: Local high school, All units available please respond. Armed forces are required." A dispatcher announced causing Danny's eyes to widen in shock before jumping up.
"Danny, what's up?." Jackie asked, concerned for her partners sudden movement as she also got up.
"Y/n teaches there." He responded, grabbing his gun and putting it in it's holster and clipping his badge in a rush before taking his car keys.
"That's where y/n teaches?" Jackie asked, also getting up and grabbing her gun and badge.
"Yep, now let's go." Danny ordered, before rushing out of the office, Jackie rushing to keep up with him.
"Detective Curatola and Detective Reagan on route to shooting." Jackie reported back to dispatch as she got in the car just in time for Danny to speed off, sirens blaring.
--------------------------------------------------
Jamie and officer Renzulli sat in their patrol car, watching the city in the corner while eating their lunch. Jamie bit into his sandwich as he listened to his mentor explain his recent dilemma with his wife before stopping as they heard the car radio cackle to life.
"All available units please respond. School shooting in operation, Location: local high school. Armed forces are required."
"Shit." Jamie cursed, pushing his lunch onto the floor , not caring where it went as he heard the school name.
"What's the stress for Reagan, call us in." Officer Renzulli stated, pointing at the radio as he started the car.
"Officer Reagan and Officer Renzulli available on route." Jamie called into the radio before putting on the sirens and answering his mentors question "My sister works there."
"Erin, isn't she a lawyer."
"No my other sister y/n. Can't we go any faster." Jamie asked, agitated to get there.
"I'm going, I'm going. Don't worry I'm sure she'll be in a safe place, don't schools to training for these type of things."
"Yeah, but you and I both know training is nothing like an actual scenario." Jamie explained, not in the mood to be talking.
"True that." Renzulli agreed, realizing Jamie didn't want to talk any more.
-----------------------------------------------
Frank sat in his office, currently in his latest monthly meeting with the fire commissioner. He loved being commissioner but sometimes these meetings seemed to drag on. He sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration before his office door opened and Baker came through.
"Baker." Frank stated, looking up at his receptionist.
"Sorry commissioner, emergency within the police districts, dispatch has been asking for any available units to respond to the situation. Said armed forces were required for a school shooting." Baker relayed information to her boss who watched her in thought.
"Oh God." The fire commissioner swore under his breath causing Frank to glance his way before returning his gaze to Baker.
"What school?" He asked, trying to hide the lump formed in his throat."
"The local high school sir." Baker replied, watching as the commissioner took a deep breath and look down, head in his hands.
"Baker, call for a car. I don't need a driver, just the car." Frank ordered softly as he refused to look at anyone.
"Sir?" The woman asked confused, " You can't go, commissioners don't respond to shootings."
"Baker I didn't ask for your input I asked for a car. I need to get there and I don't care how, just find a way." Frank stated sternly, looking ahead of him.
"But sir."
"Baker, my daughter works there and I need to be there to see what's happening, so get me a car and tell them that the commissioner is on his way." Frank ordered, standing up and putting his hands on the table in front of him, looking at her finally.
"Right away sir." Baker responded, knowing no Reagan would take no when it's family involved.
"I'm sorry commissioner but we will need to postpone this meeting." Frank stated, looking at his fellow commissioner as he opened the drawer which contained his gun and badge.
"Don't sweat it sir, I pray for your daughters safety."
"Thank you."
Frank nodded is head at his fellow commissioner and left the office. He sighed in sorrow as thought of his youngest daughter being held hostage in school with a bunch of students under her protection and opted to text her 'y/n, be calm, you will be okay, we will get you and the students out safe'. As the car arrived for him he got into the back before it came to full halt and sat impatiently as they made their way to the scene.

Y/n looked around the halls as she made her way to Sky and Rivens dorm. Seeing a picture she stopped, recognizing it as her mother on her graduation day, beside the picture her fathers graduation picture. Looking at them with a sad smile she swallowed thickly as tears came to her eyes.
"Y/n?" She turned to see Silva standing at the top of the stairs close by. "Headmaster Silva." Y/n nodded, rubbing her eyes slightly. "You ok? What are you doing out this late?" He asked as he walked towards her. "I umm, was going to Sky and Rivens room." She said truthfully as she looked down. "I'm going to ignore what you said with all that's going on." Silva stated, pointing at y/n as she glanced up and gave him a soft smile. "How are you feeling anyway?" "Umm, I'm not sure how you expect me to answer that." Y/n shrugged as a tear fell from her eye. "Things will get better y/n, just takes time." "Doesn't seem like it." She said, looking down again. "I know." Silva sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm going to go see the boys before late." Y/n sighed before leaving Silva standing in the hall alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n turned the bend near the library to see Riven talking to some girl. Watching them, she seen him take a smoke from a cigarette before the girl came closer to him, inhaling the smoke from his mouth. Y/n looked down and sighed before leaving in the opposite direction, making sure not to be seen.
Walking towards the boys room she stood there for a minute before putting her hand to the door. Knocking twice she stood and waited. Not hearing anything, she sighed and knocked again as she opened the door.
Looking ahead her mouth opened in shock at what she seen. Sky was wrapped in Stella's arms, both asleep. She sighed and looked down as tears came to her eyes, thinking both had forgotten.
Wiping her eyes to avoid the tears coming out, she turned only to bump into someone. Looking up she smiled softly as she seen it was riven. He looked down at her in confusion.
"Y/n?" He asked, looking around before sighing seeing Sky in bed with Stella. "What are you doing here? It's late." "Y/n? What's going on?" Y/n and Riven turned their attention to Skys bed as he woke up. "I'm not even going to comment on that situation." Riven stated, pointing at Stella. "Shut up Riven. Y/n what's wrong? I thought you were coming after dinner." Sky asked, grabbing a t-shirt as he went to get up. "I got held up, doing things." Y/n stated with hesitation. "Okay well, what did you want to talk to us about? He asked, sitting up fully. "Oh, umm, it's okay. Clearly you both are busy. I better get back to my room before Silva sees me here. See you tomorrow." Y/n stated, deciding against telling them. "It sounded important." Sky said with a frown as y/n looked down, willing the tears that were building to not fall. "Yeah, just missing home." She replied with a half lie causing Riven to pull her into a hug. "Itll be okay. It's just first day." Riven said in a soft voice as he kissed her forehead. "Yeah your right, its nothing. I'll see you tomorrow." Y/n smiled, heading out to door. "Want me to walk you back to your dorm?" Riven asked. "No it's okay. Night guys." "Night y/n" The boys smiled and waved as she left, not knowing she was swallowing down tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n closed the dorm door slowly, avoiding it slamming before heading to her room. Getting ready for bed her eyes caught a glimpse of a picture of her parents. The two were smiling at the camera while her mom held a toddler y/n. Tears filled y/ns eyes and she flipped the photo facing down before falling onto her bed, allowing the tears to fall.
She tried to stay silent as she let down the tears she had been holding in all day. She cried for the loss of her parents, the lack of support she felt from her friends (partially her fault), the feeling of being alone and the fear of the frozen ones coming for her.
Wishing to have someone, especially her best friends, with her, she heard her phone ping, causing her to look at her phone, hoping for a message from Riven or Sky only to see it being the weather. Thunder and hail, much like her feelings, a never ending storm.

Masterlist
All was quiet in the Shelby household, all were asleep bar Tommy who sat in his office working on some papers that were due. His thoughts were stalled as he hears movement around the halls upstairs and a door slamming against a wall before sounds of chocking, causing him to sigh and move to stand up, knowing who it was.
Y/n Shelby had been sick for the last five days, and it seemed to be getting progressively worse. For an eleven year old her energy had severely deteriorated and anything she ate always came back up, that was if she ate anything at all. She spent majority of her time in bed, sleeping most of the day.
Tommy sighs as he makes his way up the stairs to check on his sister. Arriving at the bathroom door he seen Polly sitting on her knees beside the young girl, holding her hair back and rubbing her back in comfort, muttering kind words as her youngest niece struggled to keep anything down. Hearing noise, Polly looked up to see Tommy standing in the doorway, who glanced at his oungest sibling before looking at Polly.
-------------------------------------------
“It’s been five days Pol, something ain’t right.” Tommy stated, not liking his sister being sick.
“I know that Thomas, hardly think this is normal.” Polly snapped at her nephew, worry get best of her.
“Pol.” Tommy warned, moving his head to y/n, saying not to stress her out.
“Tommy.” Y/n whined after she finished heaving, hearing her older brother and wanting his comfort.
“Hey there little angel, still not feeling great aye?” He asked, causing Polly to glare at him.
“I’m tired, and sore and icky. I don’t like it, I want it to end, I want to get better.” She whined as she coughed, bringing her hands up as an indication for Tommy to lift her.
“I can imagine that it isn’t pleasant, but you will get better. Why don’t you and aunt Pol go to the doctors today, he can give you something to make you feel better, how’s that for ya?” Tommy asked, picking up his sister despite Polly’s protests and grabbing a rag from the bathroom sink, wetting it and wiping her face gently with it.
“What’s the doctor going to do for her, she has the stomach bug that’s all. Nothing rest can’t fix.” Polly stated, not liking the idea of going to the doctor only to be told the girl needs rest.
“If it was a stomach bug I’m pretty sure it would’ve gone by now. Just bring her Polly, all they can say is that there isn’t anything wrong.” Tommy stated, allowing y/n to place her head on his shoulder, her eyes closing with tiredness once again.
“I swear Tommy she has you wrapped around her finger.” Polly stated wit ha shake of her head.
“Her health is important Polly, I thought you prioritized that.” Tommy stated before moving out of the bathroom and heading to put his sister down for bed once again, kissing her head before leaving.
"Lord, watch over y/n and I pray that she get's over this bug amen." Polly prayed before heading back to bed.
Next morning, y/n and Polly sat around the kitchen table, waiting for Tommy to return with the doctor. Y/n sat sluggish in her chair, appearing to be struggling to keep herself up right as she lay her head on her arms which were crossed on the table. In her hand was her Christmas teddy that she always had on her from the moment it hit December 1st, being the teddy that John had given her shortly after returning from the war.
Y/n loved Christmas, always had from the moment she understand what Christmas was about. She loved to decorate the house in the little amount of decorations the Shelby family had. The Shelby's were never really into doing Christmas, seeing it as another day, and if it wasn't for y/n they probably wouldn't even celebrate Christmas.
Polly looked away from her niece as the door was heard opening, and stands up when she sees Tommy walk in with the doctor behind him. Seeing her looking at him, Tommy nods at her before moving towards his sister, crouching beside her and placing a hand on her back to try wake her up a bit, only for her to whine, feeling discomfort from touch and moving away from her brother. Tommy frowning and looked at Polly, both knowing it was strange for the youngest Shelby to deny affection.
The doctor moves towards y/n who looks up in confusion, eyes beady due to tiredness. Seeing an unfamiliar face, she frowns and looks at Polly before moving hands, wanting to be picked up. Polly clicked her tongue in frustration, shaking her head in disapproval at her niece, causing y/n to whine again, not liking her aunt’s reluctance to pick her up
“Y/n the doctors here.” Polly stated, glancing at the doctor as he watched how the youngest Shelby reacted against her brothers contact.
“I’ll leave you too it.” Tommy stated ,clearing his throat and moving to his office, closing door tightly.
Y/n sighs before groaning in discomfort as she wiggled in her seat. The doctor took this as a sign that the young girl was ready and made his way over to her. Seeing y/n's eyes flutter with tiredness the man sighed kindly and began working quickly to prevent further discomfort for the girl. He checked her temperature, back of the throat, her walking abilities and a urine sample. At the end y/n was nearly falling asleep, causing the doctor to become concerned.
“Y/n, the doctor is here to look over you, will you be good for him and let him do his work.” Polly instructed to young girl, knowing this could go one of two ways.
“I want Tommy.” Y/n stated tiredly, her voice ruff after the severe coughing episode she had earlier.
“I’m sure Tommy will come back when it’s over, now come on, be a big girl now.” Polly stated with a bit of roughness, wanting this to be over with.
-----------------------------------
“Does she always appear tired.” He asked Polly, who stood in the corner of the kitchen out of the way.
“Most days, especially after any vomiting episodes.” Polly stated, sounding as if she knew what it was her niece had.
“And her temperature, she appears to have a fever, how long has that been going on.”
“Around five days, she always gains a fever when she’s sick.”
“And you say she’s been vomiting for nearly a week?”
“Like I said doctor it’s just the stomach bug, all children get it. They lose their appetite, have aches and pains, get sick, rise a fever, and then it runs its course. Tommy’s worrying for nothing.”
“Actually Mister Shelby has every right to be worried. Because young y/n here doesn’t have the stomach bug. A stomach bug wouldn’t last as long as it has, at least not as severe. With her fever, redness of the throat likely caused by her abrupt coughing episodes and vomiting as well as the aches and pains you say she’s been complaining about, young y/n is suffering from more than just the stomach bug, or any common illness for that matter.” The doctor stated, pointing out all the symptoms.
“Well, what is it then?”
"I'm afraid young y/n Shelby here, has the Spanish flu." The doctor stated causing Polly to look at him in horror.
Each of the Shelby siblings didn't know what to say, their baby sister had caught the illness that majority of people died from if caught. Arthur stared ahead, not knowing what to think, John looked down, regretting the joke he made and feeling fear for his baby sister, Ada tried to hold back tears while Finn allowed the tears to fall, not wanting his twin to go. Tommy stood frozen, refusing to look at anyone as he tried to process the news his aunt just said. Y/n was the Shelby's little angel, from the moment she was born she was their light, the thing that helped the brothers when they returned from war. Without her it would become darkness.
“Polly, what’s going on, why did you call a family meeting?” Ada asked, watching her aunt in confusion as the woman paced around the floor, worry clear on her face.
After the doctor had diagnosed the youngest Shelby- he had warned Polly of the likelihood of her getting worse instead of better- though poor Polly knew this as not many people were known to survive around the town if they caught the lethal disease, with the majority of them dying weeks after their diagnoses- with how y/n’s little body was reacting to the disease it was likely to take it’s toll on the youngest Shelby’s body quickly, meaning she likely wouldn’t make it to the end of the year- hence why she was sent to bed before her siblings were called to hear the news.
“Right Pol, what is it? What’s so important that you had to call us all here aye?” Tommy asked, barging through the front door and stalking towards the kitchen table.
“I need everyone to keep a clear head and remain quiet as I tell you this alright. Y/n’s in bed and needs her rest.” Polly stated, not wanting to wake y/n up.
“Bloody hell Pol your talking as if someone’s dead.” John stated, shaking his head slightly at the dramatics of the situation.
“Pol, what is it? What did the doctor say?” Tommy asked, seeing the seriousness in Polly’s face.
“Y/n’s sick, really sick.” Polly started, looking at each Shelby sibling before continuing, “And I don’t want any of you to start worrying alright, because it won’t make it any easier.”
“Pol, what’s wrong with our y/n?” Arthur asked, not liking the way Polly was talking.
“Y/n has the Spanish flu. The doctor said with her symptoms it’s likely she’s been infected for a while.” Polly stated, waiting to hear the reaction.
“But she seemed fine last week.” Finn stated, looking at his aunt in confusion.
“The doctor said it will get worse, and there is a chance.” Polly stopped, wanting to get control of her emotions before continuing, “There is a chance that she may not survive this. Her bodies not able to keep up with it.” Polly looked down as silence fell around them.
Polly sighs, knowing the Shelby stubbornness was strong when it came to little y/n. She also knew that this would break the family, regardless of the outcome. And all Polly could do was pray, and hope, that y/n would at least make it to Christmas, her favorite time of year.
“Is she asleep?” Tommy asked, moving towards the stairs.
“Yes, and I don’t want anyone going into her. Don’t need anyone else catching it.” Polly stated forcibly, moving towards Tommy as he scoffed.
“You expect us to not be there for our sister when she’s ill, you clearly don’t know us Polly.” Tommy stated harshly.
“we’re not leaving her Pol, she needs us. And if she doesn’t make it we need her too.” Finn stated, sniffling from the tears.
