An Unexpected Love And Surprise
Okay all of you fan fictioners out there, I know it's been a while but I'm back with chapter 2 of Nellie Lovett: Her Untold Past. Last time we saw Nellie she had been making pies with Toby and talking to him about the workhouse and suddenly we left her with Mr. T, talking to him about her past. Let's continue shall we, announcer Nellie out!
It was a beautiful day in London and Allison Miller was walking around the marketplace, searching for some supplies she needed for her pies. She was slowly making trips to different market stalls when she spotted a young man who looked to be around her age at the stall next to her. He was tall, thin, had shiny black hair and had the most beautiful sounding voice. She walked over to him and stretched out her arm. "Hi, I'm Allison Miller. It's nice to meet you…"
The man shook her hand happily. "Daniel, Daniel Winter, it's nice to meet you Allison." She said it was fine if he called her Alli and he said the same about being called Dan. They seemed to hit it off right away. And before long they were acting like a real couple. They went everywhere together and nothing ever seemed to separate them. They'd visit each other and on occasion one would stay with the other overnight (hint hint). It seemed like everything was perfect.
One day, Allison decided to visit Dan at his home after she hadn't seen him for a few days. She'd call him but his answer was always that he was 'superbly busy with something.' And on occasion he'd say that he'd call her back, but he never did. The truth was, he was afraid to tell her the truth. Elizabeth had called him a few minutes before he was going to visit Allison a few days before. She had said that if he wasn't home soon she'd divorce him and take the children with her, she had called him a neglectful father and he disagreed immensely. For you see, he was an unhappily married man and he'd left home on business, but after his business trip was over he thought he'd stick around London for a little while longer. He hadn't planned on meeting Allison; he also certainly hadn't planned on falling in love with a woman who had more love and appreciation for him than his own wife. It had only been a few days past his business meeting and his wife was already talking about divorcing him and taking away his children! Allison made her way up to his room and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. She knocked once more and a man came out of the room across from her and said "He's gone ma'am."
Allison turned around and looked at him confused. The man approached her. "I'm Frank Jonson, I'm right across from his room here. He told me to apologize for leaving so suddenly." Allison looked at him in disbelief and then began to look around with a dazed expression on her face. "I'm sorry to tell you this so quickly, but I was just about to leave when I saw you come through the door. He told me what you looked like so that I could tell you the news. I'm in a rush somewhere so I must go, but I am truly sorry." Frank left and Allison turned to face the door and banged on it angrily. She started to cry and fell to the ground helplessly. The first man she'd fallen in love with and she'd lost him, without him even telling her where he was going first. Why hadn't he told her anyway? Was he a criminal hiding away from the law and he was ashamed and frightened of being caught? She didn't know what had brought him to London. All he had said was the he'd had a business meeting but she'd kept him from leaving, which at the moment was sweet, but was so confusing now. After everything they'd been through, she never imagined he'd be the kind of man to just abandon someone.
-A few months later-
Allison didn't know what was wrong with her. One minute she'd feel perfectly fine and the next it felt as if someone had punched her hard in the stomach. She'd get dizzy at the most random times and she didn't completely know what was going on. She went to the town doctor and she gave her a look over. After a few minutes the doctor came out with a smile on her face, "I'm glad to say that you're not ill Allison, you're perfectly healthy. The best news, you're pregnant dear." Allison's jaw dropped, she couldn't speak. How could it have?… Dan! No matter the small number of times it'd happened, it was possible for her to become pregnant any of those times. Allison started to have the same feeling that she'd had when she realized that Daniel had left her again. This time though, it felt worse, it felt like a nightmare. She pinched herself and by the twinge of pain she felt, knew it had to be real. She thanked the doctor and found out that she was about 4 months into the pregnancy, only 5 more and she'd be ready.
Allison got back to her shop and sat down in a chair, she had to think now, hard. She wanted a baby, but in her head she was happily married, not alone and abandoned. She put her head in her hands and began to cry heavily. She wasn't sure if she was ready just yet to be a mother and she didn't want to give any possible child of hers a horrible life. She didn't know what kind of life she could give her child without a husband by her side though. One thing was for sure though; she was going to stick with it. She'd decided to 'be with' Daniel and she had to be ready to accept any consequences with his leaving. She began to get things ready as soon as she could.
-Don't have much to say here so, 5 months later-
Allison lay in bed, the pain was overwhelming. The doctor she had met a few months back screaming for her to keep pushing wasn't helping much either, if she pushed any harder she though her head would explode! After a few more times Allison heard loud screaming. She sighed with relief and fell back. The doctor did what she had to do and soon came back into the room with the baby wrapped in a small blanket. "Ms. Miller, this is your baby girl." Allison's mouth curved into a smile and she took the small girl in her arms. "So Ms. Miller, what are you thinking for names?"
Allison cradled the baby in her arms and smiled. She looked closely at the newborn and began to think. "Nellie, I think I'm going to name her Nellie." The two women continued to watch the new baby sleep until the doctor had to leave. Allison was relieved for all of that to be over, but she couldn't help but think about the future. Would Allison be able to raise a child on her own?
Phew, it's over. I finally finished chapter two, don't worry though, this is just the beginning. There is certainly more to come in the future. I mean really, Mrs. Lovett is a newborn in this chapter; it wouldn't make much sense to end it now. So anyway, hope you enjoyed chapter 2. Now I have some personal things to take care of.
I'm actually thinking of writing an Alice in Wonderland story; just write what you think about my idea in your review. I was thinking about Iracebeth having two children, whom no one else gets along with well because of their mother. All of the other children are either afraid of them because of their mother or they treat them badly because of her. No matter how unlike their mother the sister and brother are no one wants to listen. So they run away over night and meet a young woman who has a goal, to defeat their mother. And they become torn between doing what's right by honoring their mother and doing what's right for all of Underland by fighting against her. So, what does anyone think, like it hate it?
2) I had my prom on Friday and not only did I have a black and purple Burtonesque dress. I got about 10 or something kids to do The Futterwacken, lol. The song "We're Not Gonna Take It" started to play and I started doing the dance and as soon as other people recognized it they started doing it. I just knew it would catch on at the prom! I felt accomplish, lol. It was so much fun to do that.
