Falling for John was never something I had planned. He was my sisters husband after all, but when she died John and I got closer and my feelings for him just blossomed. I never told him how I feel and I won't because how could I do that to my late sister?
I enter the Garrison and sit at the bar next to John
"YN I'm struggling with the kids"
"Need me to come over more?" I ask but he shakes his head
"They need a mom. I'm going to get married" my heart drops hearing this, but I know we could never be
"Who's the lucky girl?" I ask trying not to sound upset
"Lizzie Stark" I look at John like he's gone mad
"Woah wait did I just hear you say that right?"
"Yeah. Please don't say anything. Tommy, Arthur and Polly have already given me an earful"
"Well.. if your going to be happy then who am I to judge"
"Are you happy though?" John looks me in the eyes, I'm trying to not cry
"Uh huh. I've got to go. I'll see you soon" I get off my seat and turn away from John
"But you just got here" I ignore John and walk out of the pub.

A few days later I'm walking down the street
"YN" I hear Tommy shout. I turn and see him in his car
"Hi Tom" I smile
"YN get in. We need to talk" I sigh and get into the car "has John spoken to you?"
"About his plan to marry Lizzie? yeah"
"I've just offered her money, as a one last time... she excepted. I've told John, and he's a wreak. We're having trouble with the Lee's so we need to unite the families"
"So you want John to marry a Lee? why are you telling me this"
"No" Tommy sighs "I've said Johns first born daughter would marry a Lee of her choice"
"Bloody hell Tom. And where do you expect this daughter to come from? John has boys and unless one of them drops their penis I don't think your plan will work"
"That's why John does need to marry"
"So why aren't you marrying him off?"
"Because he loves you"
"Pardon" I ask shocked
"And you love him. Neither of you are very subtle"
"We can't"
"Because of Martha? Martha would want you both to be happy"
"But she's my sister? I don't think it's very ethical"
"It's not illegal. Look I'm giving you a chance for you to be together here. Take it"

Now I'm here at my wedding! I walk over to John in my wedding dress
"We are here gathered together to join this man and this woman in matrimony. If you both move forward with this marriage, the Lee's and Shelby's will be united with the promise that the first born daughter will marry a Lee. John do you take YN to be you lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do" John smiles at me
"Do you YN take John to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do"
"You may now kiss" John pulls me into him and kisses me passionately.

That evening Ada is dancing while being 8 months pregnant
"Martha won't hate us right?" I say John looks at
"Never" I watch Tommy go up the Ada
"Come and look YN. Come and look at the family you've joined. Come and look at the man who runs it. Makes deals that benefit him but hurts people in the long run. He hunts his own sister down like a rat and he tried to kill his own brother in law" Ada yells
"Ada that's enough" Arthur now tries to calm her down
"And now he won't even let me have a fucking dance. Not even at a fucking wedding"
"Ada calm down" Polly says holding her
"Sit her down" John moves towards her. Polly goes to help her down but then stops
"Holy shit. Water. Right get her in there" Polly points to one of the cars
"Bloody hell Ada you pick your times" John says annoyed
"John don't" I shake my head. We all head to the Shelby house and I help Ada to give birth to her baby boy Karl
"You'll have this to look forward to one day" Polly says cooing at the newborn
"I'm worried about what we got ourselves into. I wanted to marry John, I really did and I know he wanted to marry me, but we're basically selling our future child to the Lee's"
"Maybe she will magically fall in love with a Lee" Ada laughs
"Maybe"
"You've always been part of this family, but welcome to being a Shelby"
