A/N:So after reading Kyle and John's wiki I figured out that their age gap is enough for John to be his dad just about. (I'm basing this on the wiki page that said Gaz joined the police/army at 2014 not the one where he joined in 2009) I then had a thought that What if John was actually Kyle's Dad in another universe? Like real and not adopted. This idea and fic was formed shortly afterwards as a result.
1995. Hackney, London.
"John we need to talk" Gloria started as John sat on the floor in front of her, eyes glued to the TV. He was playing Gran Turismo on the screen
"Not now Gloria. I'm doing something" He grunted out
Gloria rolled her eyes. What possibly could be more important right now? It was just a game after all, he could wait. Surely?
Having had enough, she walked right up to the TV as John swayed to the right, controller still in his hand as he tried to see past her only to get blocked by her body and legs
A second later the TV abruptly shut down as it made a noise, the screen fading to black instantly as Gloria turned around holding the cable in her hands, giving John a stern look
"What was that for?!" John demanded as he glared at her
"Enough of your stupid games. It can wait. There's something more serious that I need to tell you, one that will affect you and us both from now on"
"Fine. Hurry up. So I can go back to the game" He pouted.
Gloria fought the urge to roll her eyes once more before she went back to the sofa and sat down, sighing as she fidgeted with her hands
Great. Great start. If this is all he cares about is that game, how is he going to raise a child?! He needs to grow up. Maybe this is a bad idea...
No, No. He's the Father. He has the right to know. It's his child too. You promised yourself that you were going to tell him eventually, then your mum and dad, but him first. So what are you waiting for, just tell him!
"Gloria. Gloria darling talk to me. What's wrong?" It was John. He had swiveled round to face her and was looking at her in concern
Gloria looked up only to be met with a youthful feature, and green eyes staring at her. Her heart almost broke at the sight of a worried John looking at her
"Gloria Please" He tried again, moving to take his hands onto hers as he clapsed them together
"You can tell me anything baby I promise. I'm here to listen"
With that the wall broke down. Every defense that Gloria had put up crashed down. Tears started to flow down her cheeks as she broke down, shaking.
"I'm... I'm"
"I'm?" John lightly prompted raising an eyebrow
"Pregnant" She whispered, her voice barely audible as she continued to cry
"Sorry love I couldn't quite hear that. What did you say?" John frowned, confusion settling in
Gloria composed herself as she swallowed forcing herself to look at him instead of her hands
"I'm pregnant John" She said this time much louder and clearer as John's jaw dropped recoiling instantly
"Your WHAT?!" He bellowed fury taking over
"I'm pregnant" Gloria sobbed again
"I'm sorry John" She murmured after
John got up standing on the floor quickly
"What the fuck Gloria. How long have you known?"
"A few... A few days, I was going to tell you sooner but-"
"You need to get rid of it. Get rid of it right now. There's no fucking way I'm going to be a dad at sixteen Gloria. You got to be crazy"
Gloria stood up right at that moment as she looked at John as if he had grown two heads.
"Great. Don't tell me that your thinking about keeping the baby. You gotta be joking me"
"Yes. Yes I am. Think about it John! We can be a family! I know the timing is a little off but we can make something out of this John. Isn't that what you always wanted a family?"
John scoffed, tutting to himself
"Yes but not at sixteen, I want to join the army not sit around babysitting a child!"
"You can" Gloria countered
"'You can John! If you give up the army and find a different job then we can. Just think about it, we can get a flat while you work and I raise the baby, we can find a way to make it work!"
John laughed a bitter one as he shook his head as he jabbed a finger towards her
"No. No. You can make this work. I am not staying at home to raise a kid. I want to join the army not sit at home and babysit. There's no way I'm giving up the army for that"
"If you don't get rid of that baby, I'm walking out. There's no way I'm gonna sit at home and raise a fucking baby. No fucking way. Over my dead body"
Gloria gasped as she opened and closed her mouth in shock before fury toppled over her as she glared at Price
"So you're just a coward then. You would even walk away from your own child because it's easier for you huh. You really are a loser John"
"I don't care!" He roared making Gloria jump from the sudden volume
"I don't fucking care Gloria. You either get rid of that baby or we're fucking done" He spat
Gloria shook her head as she crossed her arms defiantly squaring up and standing in front of Price
"You know what John? I don't care anymore. I am going to raise this baby alone if I have to, but I am keeping it. So go. Walk out. But your not taking my baby away from me"
John's jaw dropped as he gaped at her in shock before he regained his composure
Burning anger seared within him once more as he started to pick up and pack his bags, throwing items quickly in as he zipped it up
"If that's how you want it to be then fine. We're finished. I'm leaving and never coming back. Goodbye Gloria"
John threw on a jacket as his hand hovered by the door handle. He turned round once more facing a upset Gloria who was standing by the doorway watching him leave
"Don't fucking call or find me again. I hate you" he snarled
With that he opened the door before slamming it shut
Seconds later John heard a shout come from behind him as he was walking down the driveway it was Gloria, she had chased after him and was calling him from the porch
"John! John!"
He didn't answer, continuing to walk briskly, his back turned away from her as he ignored her pleas and cries, not batting an eyelid once
"John Please. Come back John" Gloria begged as she fell to her knees, crumpling down in a sobbing mess
Meanwhile in the distance, John shed a tear as he angrily and hastily wiped the tears away. He knew where he needed to go. The army.
A/N: Poor Gloria. John really was an asshole in this, walking away from them like that. He'll come to regret that later on the words that he said. You'll find out in a minute. And yes you can join the army at 16 in the UK.
