as you know i unfortuantly do NOT own Newsies
"Of course, you aint da only one with your heart stolen." Blink pulled Liz into a kiss that seemed like it lasted forever. They pulled apart when the waiter came over and told them that Tibbys was closing.
"Lets head back." Blink whispered as he brought a ring out of his pocket and slid it onto Liz's finger. She gasped.
"How da hell did ya afford dis?" she asked smiling.
"Saved up…..and Will hasn't been giving you all his earnin's. I told him to keep it but he wanted you to be happy more dan sweets." Blink replied as they walked out of the door.
"Lets not go straight back. Lets go da long way." Liz whispered. Blink nodded in agreement and they walked round central park for a while then they headed back. When they entered the lodging house Will ran up to them.
"Well wat appened? Did he ask ya? Ma tell me." He demanded.
"Wat ya talkin bout darlin. Did he ask me wat?" Liz asked trying not to smile. She sat down on the sofa and Blink sat next to her with his arm around her. Blink court on quickly and joined in the conversation.
"Yer Will wat ya talkin bout?" he asked not being able to hide his smile.
"Did he ask ya ta marry him Ma?" Will asked getting annoyed. Everyone in the room suddenly got interested.
"Wat dis bout marriage?" Race asked looking up from his cards.
"We have no idea wat ya talkin bout." Blink and Liz said at the same time.
"Wat is dat ring on ya finger den?" Skittery asked as he came down stairs.
"SKITS ya spoiled our fun." Blink exclaimed pulling Liz closer to him.
"Sorry." Skits said sarcastically. Everyone burst out laughing except for Will.
"Ma ya didn't answer me question, did he ask ya." Will said impatiently.
"Yer he did darlin." Liz replied calmly.
"AND." Everyone shouted at them.
"Calm down guys. It ain't dat a big deal. She said yes." Blink said smiling
"Ain't dat a big deal? You sang ta me." Liz exclaimed
"I wish I heard dat. Blink singing. Ya sure ya said yes coz ya love him or coz ya felt sorry for da singin bastard?" Jack asked. Blinks face fell and he stared at Liz waiting for her answer but she just burst out laughing.
"Course I said yes coz I love ya." She replied. Blinks face burst out in a grin
"So we have even more reason for a party den?" Race asked "anymore surprises? A twin sista bout ta walk drough da door?" Race's face spilt into a grin that showed he was having disturbing thoughts.
Don't tink so and sorry no sista, just two brudas." Liz replied giggling. "But I don't tink Morris will let you do whatever your tinkin to him." Races face contorted itself into a disgusted glare." And speakin of me brudas, day have ta come ta da weddin. I promised me pa dat Oscar would walk mes down da aisle." She muttered." so day have ta be at da weddin." Liz stared down at her hands.
"Will Pa be dere?"Will asked trembling slightly.
"What?" Liz asked not hearing him properly.
"Will Pa be dere?" he repeated. The whole room was silent.
"No darlin, ya pa's in jail, remember? For wat he did ta ya sista."
"But ain't he out soon? He got five years didn't he? He might come get me." Will was visibly shaking now.
"Hay, kid he won't lay a finger on ya, we'll protect ya. Ya family now." Race declared slamming his cards down on the table.
"Look darlin his only friend's dat know were ere are ya uncles and dere not DAT evil. Now Will ya pa won't get ya so no nightmares ok?" Will nodded. "Now go play." Liz told him. That night Will had his nightmares about his pa killing him and his ma, no one got any sleep that night or the next night for the next month.
Liz had finished her work and she was on her way to talk to her brothers. She had arranged for them to meet at the printing office so they could be alone (everyone was out selling). As she neared the office she saw Oscar and Morris lounging round by the ramp. When they saw her they stood up. She hadn't told them about her being pregnant and she was seven months pregnant so it was pretty obvious that she was.
"Oscar, Morris ya lookin cruel as usual." Liz greeted them.
"Lizzy, ya didn't tell us ya were pregnant again." Oscar said hugging her. Liz didn't pull back as she had decided to give them a chance to be nice.
"So wat ya want ta talk ta us bout?" Morris asked as her hugged her too.
"Um, well dree dings, foist ta tell ya dat, I'se pregnant, second ta ask if Sean had been in contact? Will is having nightmares bout him again.
"Um yer e as." Oscar confessed
"And ya know we're idin from im?"
"Um yer we know and we ain't told him nodin, but he's comin for a visit but we'll keep him away from da lodge."
"Ok" Liz said suspiciously they were being too nice. "Turdly, I'se gettin married and I'se promised pa I would invite ya and let Oscar walk mes down da aisle." The boy's faces lit up.
"Ya want us at ya weddin?" Liz just smiled a part of her, a very small part of her wanted them to be a family again but she didn't trust them or forgive them. "Course we'll come, can't miss our lil sis's weddin can wes." Oscar said eagerly
"Ya'll need a boph before da weddin dough."
"We had a boph last month." Morris said proudly
"And ya stink; da newsies smell betta dan you'se. Ya need a boph every day." Liz replied holding her nose. "Anyway. I need ta get back, see ya lata. Da weddin is in four months." Liz said starting to waddle (she is heavily pregnant she can't walk properly) towards the gates.
"Wait, who ya marryin?" Morris asked
"Da pa of me baby." Liz replied plainly
"Who is? Morris asked again
"Ya accusin mes of being a slut Morris?" Liz could feel her temper rising.
"No, no course not….. So?" Morris apologised
"Trevor Bennet." She said with a slight smile her brother was stupid.
"Wat bouts blink?" Morris asked stupidly. Liz and Oscar burst out laughing "wat?"
"I am marryin blink." Morris looked even more confused. Liz just left him looking confused. She heard Oscar trying to explain.
"Trevor Bennet IS Blink. Remember he asked us if h could four months ago?" Liz sniggered as she turned the corner.
Liz was now expecting her baby any day now. She was sat on the sofa next to blink watching Race, Skittery, Mush and Jack play poker. Will sat on blink's lap.
"Ma?"
"Yes darlin?"
"Me birdday was last week."
"It was."
"So am I old enough for race to teach mes poker?" Will asked with a pleading look. Liz pretended to think about it.
"I think ya old enough, so yer ya can learn poker." Will dived of blinks lap and ran up to race. "But wait till dey finished deir game." Liz warned. Will stood next to the table watching.
"Yer, royal flush, I win again. I'll teach ya now Will." Race said. Will climbed into a chair between Race and Jack. Liz's attention left the game when her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.
"How da ell, well done Will" Liz glanced over to see Will collecting his winnings.
HAHA, Will beat Race foist time he played on his own, ya losin ya touch Race." Blink exclaimed. Race had an annoyed expression on his face but Liz thought if she wasn't with blink she would think he was cute. Will lost the next two games but won another five. By the time Will went to bed he had such a big pile of money Mush who was on the other side of the table could only see the top of his small head.
"Right Will bedtime before Race loses ALL his money." Liz said grinning. She followed will up the stairs but stopped halfway up the stairs and her hand went straight to her stomach.
"Hay, Liz ya ok?" blink called up the stairs. He was still sat on the sofa.
"I tink someone needs ta get a doctor, ya bout ta be a pa blink." Liz murmured so quietly that only Skittery could hear as he was sitting on the stairs.
"Wat?" blink asked as he didn't hear.
"Ya kid wants ta meet ya." Skittery called urgently as he jumped up. He and Sarah helped Liz up to her bed.
"Right blink fetch da doc." Jack ordered. Blink tried to protest but jack cut him off "ya'll be more help getting da Doc, now GO." Blink stumbled out of the lodge onto the deserted streets, he ran so fast he was on autopilot. He didn't even notice when he ran into a person who looked strangely familiar. As blink hurriedly picked himself up he noticed Oscar and Morris was with him.
"Hay watch were ya goin street rat." The mystery man spat.
"Yer, wats da hurry blinks? Oscar asked smiling.
"Me goils havin her baby. Got. Ta. get . Ta .da .doc."Blink replied in a blur.
"Lizzy's in labour?" Morris asked, blink nodded and ran off.
Blink stumbled into the lodge with the doctor just behind. He ran upstairs and crouched next to Liz.
"Everyone out part from you." The doctor told everyone and pointing to Sarah. Will was asleep in his bunk so the doctor left him is.
But, im." Blink tried to protest but the doctor just glared at him. Blink went down stairs and collapsed onto the sofa. He was handed a glass of whiskey while everyone was silent. Blink looked around the room at all the worried faces and saw Oscar, Morris and their friend arguing in the corner being held down by the newsies glares. He was sure he recognised him from somewhere as a younger AND older form. Blink put it to the back of his mind
