Love Aside | Ellie x Male Reader | The Last Of Us

Factor

*Readers pov*

You:...You did what?

Ellie: Stabbed a pregnant woman. Her name was Mel...I tried to get the location of Abby but they both fought back.

You: When did this happen?

Tommy: Just now, pulled her out with Jesse.

Looking at him, makes me remember how much happiness he had seeing me alive and normal. He found more hope as his thirst for revenge is much bigger.

You: You went without me?

I remember Mel, kind woman, although I felt some skank inside her. She was really adamant about raising her child, excited for evey chapter.

Oh, and Owen, he never really trusted me. Good that he's dead.

Ellie: I'm telling you...It just happened now...I came back here and you appeared.

You:...No Slasher?

Ellie: He's with Abby.

You: Why are you so upset at killing a pregnant woman? I would be too but...you seem devastated.

Ellie:...Being a mother takes a lot and...I feel like I'll be in that position.

You: You want children with me?

Ellie: Of course...

She hides her face.

You: At least we are on the same page.

I squeeze her cheeks and point her face to me, I kiss her.

Ellie: Ready to be a father?

You: Pfft, no. Not at all.

Ellie: I don't think I'll be a good mother.

Tommy leaves the conversation, seeing nothing good for him.

I grab her hands and try to smile. Comforting her.

I begin laughing.

You: Not like we don't have time-

Ellie: I'm pregnant!

The whole room goes quiet.

You:...Congrats? I need to get the milk.

I stand up but she pushes me back down. She pulls out a pregnancy test and passes it to me, it has 2 lines showing that its a possitive outcome.

Ellie: I'm being serious.

You:...Oh, shit...

Ellie: It'll be scary, taking care of a child in the apocalypse, not making it turn into a monster.

You: I don't...I'm not understanding...

Ellie: You don't want to be a father?

You: I'm just...not ready...

She kisses me and puts her head on my shoulder

Ellie:...You want an abortion?

You: Of course not...It's just...

*Tommy pov*

Me: He's taking this really shitty.

Jesse: You think, big brain? Look at him, he doesn't know what to do.

Me: I mean...Imagine having a child in these times. He's just a kid himself.

Dina: Of course they wanted this, just not now. Anytime but now.

Me: They have 9 months left. Right?

Dina: Yup. She just found out 3 days ago.

Jesse: Not the point, it's also about taking care of a person that is pregnant, scared of a miscarriage at any given moment.

Dina: Yeah...not that rare. She needs to eat, sleep, not be injured...

Jesse: Fuck this. You're taking her back to Jackson.

Dina looks at me pissed.

Dina: What?! Are you crazy?

Jesse: Thats how she gets to eat, sleep and not be injured. That child dies inside her and this would destroy them both.

Dina: 'Child'? It's been 2 weeks or so!

Jesse: She's not fit to fight, having to eat for 2!

Dina: What are you? Her mother?!

Jesse: Her friend, and your boyfriend, might I add.

Dina: Well, Jesse, this is bigger than any of us. Not our position!

Me:...Jesse's right. We need her back.

Ellie: Don't I get a say?

She has her shoulder pressed on the wall.

Jesse: We know your answer.

Ellie: What'll you do? Pull me to Jackson?

Jesse: Talk you into it. It's your choice, we all want the best for you, him and that little shit in your stomach.

I look over her shoulder at Y/N with his hands on his eyes whilst on the couch, looking stressed.

Me: Poor, Y/N...

Ellie:...Yeah...

She begins crying.

Ellie: Something tells me he doesn't want to be apart of the childs life...What if he leaves?

Dina: Ellie...He's just stressed. Scared for the child, many thoughts going through his mind.

Ellie: I would be a terrible mother...

Me: I'll check on the boy, you comfort Ellie.

I leave and sit next to the boy.

Me: Kid.

Y/N: What if he goes through what I did? You know how much I would hate myself?

Me: Pull yourself together. You're shattered.

Y/N: Yeah, you're right.

I see him stand up, grabbing his bag and holding my rifle in his hand.

Y/N: I have something to finish.

I stand up and we walk to the others.

Y/N: I'm going to go and finish this.

Dina: "You're" going? No, we all are.

Y/N: No.

He passes me my rifle and pulls out his M4A1.

Y/N: You all will bring Ellie back to Jacksons.

This demand made the group almost freak out. Everyone talks over eachother and argues.

Ellie: No! That won't happen!

Y/N: This is for the child! Leave and don't come back.

Dina: Horrible idea! It's her choice!

Ellie: Exactly!

Jesse: This isn't about her. It's about the kid.

Y/N: Exactly.

Me: Look, if I can intervene, you should go back to Jackson or stay here.

Y/N: Thank you, Tommy.

Ellie: Shut up, I'm going after Abby.

Y/N: I swear I'll tie a rope around Jesse's head if you don't listen.

Jesse: What did I do?!

I put my hand on his shoulder.

Y/N: Jesse, I love you with all my heart but you'll get your ass kicked for her.

Jesse: What the fuck-

There's a faint slam.

Ellie: Did you hear that?

Yo, we are kinda nearing the end now lmfao. Hope you enjoyed this story so far and thanks for reading this so far.
