John B Routledge × Y/N Carrera 

(Y/N is Kiara's twin sister, AKA a made up character who only exists in this story)

Summary: When John B becomes worried about Y/N working to hard, word gets out about her pregnancy.

JOHN B'S POINT OF VEIW:

Outer Banks, paraside on earth.

It's the sorta place where you either have 2 jobs or 2 houses. 

2 tribes, 1 Island. 

Figure 8 is the rich side of the island, home of the kooks. 

Guess where I don't live...

Then the south side, or the cut. Home of the working class who make a life bussing tables, washing yachts, running charters. 

The natural habitat of drum roll please... the pouges.

Pouges, pougies, throw away fish. Lowest member of the food chain.

So the downside of pouge life is were ignored and neglected. The Upside of poige life is were ignored and neglected. This means we do whatever we want whenever we want. 

JJ, my best friend since the 3rd grade. He is about as local as they come, latest in a longline of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water. Best surfer I know, just don't tell him I said that. Mild kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat.

Then we got Pope, the brains of the operation. Finalist for the Lucas T. Vanderhorst Merit scholarship. And the smartest person I know... a little bit of a weirdo, but his father is this legendary character, Heyward. Anything you wanted on the island, Heyward could get it for you. Now, I'm not sure what Heyward knew what to think of his oddball son but it didn't matter. He was a pouge just like the rest of us. 

Then we have the girls, or the twins. Kiara or Kie as we call her, and Y/N. When the 2 aren't saving turtles or listening to Marley, or getting a dolphin tattoo they hang with us. I'm not really sure why though. So, they are rich kids, actually.. foot in both worlds. Their family owns the wreck which us this little Outer Banks institution. Total cash cow with the tourists. I know their parents hate us. I guess JJ and Pope have a thing for Kie or something, but Y/N's mine. 

She is my girlfriend, and I guess now, the mother of my child, and future wife. You know, I'm not sure how I got her pregnant... never mind... I do. Anyways. It was an unexpected surprise to find out I was going to be a father at 5 am in the morning. I just don't want to let her down. I mean, I can barely even take care of myself, so how am I gonna take care of a kid? I have a shitty boat cleaning job that doesn't pay much, so I have no idea how I'm going to pay for the kid and everything, but it's ok. 

                                               ●○●○●

I woke up to sweat dripping down my face, I rubbed my eyes for a clear picture of the sight in front of me. 

Y/N. 

Y/N?

I frowned. Where is she? She wasn't next to me. 

I couldn't hear her soft snores or her repetitive breathing. 

I quickly sat up, and marched out of my room to find her. I knocked on the bathroom door, no answer. I stumbled over to the living room.

"Hey Jayj." I greeted him. He didn't say anything in response because his head was buried in a pillow. 

"Been outside yet?" I asked.

"Obviously not dude.. I just woke up." JJ said.

"Have you seen, Y/N?"

"Uh.." JJ hummed trying to recall the last time he saw her, "She left this morning to work a shift at the Beach Club, or something like that." 

JJ and Y/N were the only people who stayed over tonight. Y/N's parents kicked her out and JJ didn't want to go home to his asshole dad, understandable.

I nodded and opened the back door, walking down the patio steps and over to the hammock. I sat down in it. I had thought Y/N was going to take the day off and stop working so many shifts.

I sat in thought then got off the hammock and headed back into the Chateau.

"Ill be back in a bit, dude. I'm gonna head out." I told JJ while grabbing my keyes for the twinkie. 

"Can 't have your baby mama working all those shifts?" JJ smirked. 

I glared at him, "Don't burn the house down while I'm gone."

"Oh, don't worry I will!"

I got in the car and started driving towards the grocery store. I headed over to the deli section and asked for 2 sandwiches, and in a couple of minutes they were handing me them amd I was hearing over to the check out. 

I placed my items on the conveyor belt and I also threw in a pack of gum. I pulled out my phone to text Y/N while I waited in line. 

I clicked on her contact and started typing. I clicked send.

𝙃𝙚𝙮 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠?

I put my phone back in my pocket and grabbed my wallet. 

"Hey John B!" 

I looked up, and mentally sighed, "Hey, Yvonne."

She smirked at me as she scanned my items, "What have you been up to?"

"Just hanging out with my friends and Y/N. And working."

"Right, Y/N. How did you guys meet again?" 

"We met a long time ago at the bone yard."

"Interesting, and like you actually like her?" 

"Yeah. Of course I actually like her. I love her, we have been together for over 1 year, coming up on 2 soon."

She nodded, "So, like are the rumors true?" 

"What rumors?"

"That you got her pregnant." 

"No.. who the hell told you that?" 

She scanned my last item and her smirk grew, "Just the grape vine." She paused then added, "$11.38" 

"Well whoever told you is lying." I said then grabbed my items and started to walk off towards the exit of the store when I felt a hand grab me. 

Yvonne grabbed my shoulders and pulled my close to her face, "You don't have to lie to me John B. I know you got her pregnant and I know Y/N isn't right for you, just be honest. I mean, do you really wanna take care of a snotty baby? No. Just leave her alreadym" 

I shrugged her off of me, " Get the hell off of me. And I am being honest. I love her and I will take care of the kid!" I shouted. Everyone in the store started to look our direction. I realized I meant to say that quieter. 

Yvonne let go of me and looked disturbed, "Everyone knows now. Just admit it." 

I started speed walking put of the store and into the Chateau. I set the groceries down in the passenger seat and quickly drove off towards the beach club. On my way over there I got a phone call from Kie. I picked up and it went into Bluetooth on the car. 

"Hey, Kie." 

"Hey, JB." 

We stayed silent for a little. 

"So what do you need?" I asked. 

"Well, I was calling because I'm worried about Y/N. She is really stressed about this and working alot. Plus, if you didn't already know pretty much everyone in town heard about you 2 from Rafe and Topper and now you confirmed that. Everyone is talking about your scene in the grocery store."

"Shit! Gosh, Yvonne is such a bitch, sometimes. I know she dad that on purpose too. She did that ro get it put of me." 

"Yeah." 

We sat in silence again, and I was deep in thought. I felt extremely guilty about basically telling everyone, I knew Y/N didn't want to tell anyone yet, and after the meltdown her parents had she has been super stressed. I just wanted things so go well, but I ruined it all. 

"Kie, can I call you back? I gotta call JJ real quick." 

"Yeah, sure." 

"Ok, thanks. Talk to ypu soon."

"Yep."

I quickly hung up the phone, trying to keep everything in whole I pulled over and grabbed my phone then called JJ. The line rang for a little then he picked up, the first thing JJ said was, "Shit, man. I am pretty sure everyone knows now. I mean it's terrible that everyone knows. I mean, they were gonna know eventually. Right?" 

"Yeah. I mean, I'm not even that upset about that, but like I just have so much guilt." I said. A tear fell down my cheek onto my thigh. I quickly wiped it off though. I got a text from Y/N

𝙈𝙮 𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨 

𝙒𝙝𝙮?

"John B?"

"What?" 

"Listen man, I'll help you guys out. I'll even give you my extra cash, if you need it."

"JJ, no. This isn't your problem."

"I got nothing to loose, man. I have your back dude, no matter what. P4L. Pouges have each other's backs. Plus, you would probably do the same for me if I got a girl pregnant. I mean, dude, I practically live at your house. I'm gonna help you get through this man. I can like babysit the kid or some shit." JJ said thrpugh the line. His voice echoed in the car.

"P4L." I muttered with a sad smile, "Also, I'm not sure if I trust you to babysit."

"Why not?" 

"Ok, thanks man.  I am gonna head over to the beach club, see Y/N." 

"Alright man. See you later." 

"Later." 

I hung up the phone and started back on the road towards figure 8. In a couple of minutes I was in the parking lot and Y/N was skipping towards the car. I got out and opened up my arms, squeezing her into a long hug. 

"Hello, my boy." Y/N grinned while giving me a short kiss. 

"Hello." I said, pulling away from the hug.

I opened the car door for her and moved the sandwiches put of the seat and into the center console.

"Ok, so.. bad news." 

"What's wrong?" She asked with a scared chuckle. 

"So basically everyone in Kildare knows now. But that's not why I came to see you. I really worried about you working too much, and it's all just a lot right now." 

"John B. I'm fine. Seriously. We just need to get through these next couple of weeks. We'll find out the gender of the baby then we  we can go from there. Trust me it's gonna be ok." 

"Yeah, I guess your right." I sighed. 

"And I'm definitely upset that everyone knows, and Rafe might kill us, but we'll be ok." 

The 2 of us laughed, and I leaned in for a kiss. I finally felt the relief I needed. Y/N was right things were going to be rough, but we'd get through it.

                                               ●○●○●

The rest of the day Y/N and I decided to just stay home. We scheduled appointments for her, and JJ went back to his house since his dad wasn't there. 

I was sitting on the pull-out couch when Y/N walked in the room with a bowl of popcorn.  

"Whatcha got there?" 

"Popcorn." She popped the P when she replied. 

I smiled. She walked over and sat down next to me. I reached my hand in the bowl and grabbed a couple pieces throwing them into my mouth. 

"Y/N?

"Hm?" 

I opened my mouth to speak but Y/N cut me off. 

"John B if you're gonna apologize and say sorry again, just don't. Its not your fault, Yvonne is a bitch and everyone was bound to know anyways.

"I know, I'm just trying to make the best of things." I wrapped my hand over her shoulders. It went silent, then Y/N spoke up.

"Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Not sure. I think I just want everything to go good, and for you to stay healthy."

She rolled her eyes. 

"What?" 

                                               ●○●○●

My eyes flickered open. I looked around and saw Y/N next to me. We must have fell asleep on the couch. 

"Get decent sweetie. We need to talk." I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Sheriff Peterkin. 

I woke up Y/N while Peterkin paced around the Chateau. 

"Sorry to break in like this but, Y/N your mother called wanted me to check in on you. See how you doin'. So how are you?"

Y/N scoffed at the mention of her parents, "Oh, no I'm great. Fantastic. Thanks for coming by."

I snaked behind Y/N, picked up empty beer bottles and threw them out. 

"I'm so glad to hear you say that, but I heard a few things that worried me.. let me see if I can remember. Oh yeah, one of the things I heard was that you were kicked out of your house, Y/N."

"Yeah, that's false."

"Don't say anything. I know it's true. When I was talking to your mom she mentioned it. They said they aren't ok with your little situation, but they are worried about you.

"W-what situation?" Y/N stuttered.

"I heard you are pregnant, Y/N. I also heard John B is the father."

"What? Pregnant? Pfftt. No way." I defened. 

"That's OK. I know it's true, everyone in Kildare knows. That's not why I'm here though. I'm here to make sure this kid will be in a safe home, and you both can provide for the kid." 

"Yeah! Super safe. Super sound, sturdy, loving. You know? And.. we scheduled  doctor's appointments." I grinned, I didn't know if she was buying this. 

"Ok. If this really is a sturdy home, and you 2 are going to commit to taking care of a child you better show me that.  Plus, I'm willing to help you." Sherrif Peterkin said.

"Help with what?"

"I'll provide a little money for you to help you on your feet when you have this kid, but if I do that your gonna have to do something for me. A little tit for tat."

Y/N looked worried, "What's tat?" I asked. 

"Do you guys know who Scooter Grubbs is?" 

"The marina rat?" I said with question.

"So you do know him then. Good. Ever since that hurricane awhile ago he's been missing. His wife's been worried sick, and I also know you and your little friends like to sick around the marsh, that was one of the last places he was seen, besides the Cameron's house." 

"No, we haven't seen him." Y/N answered. 

"Ok, Now you let me know if you see anything." 

"Yeah, we will." 

"Good." Sherrif Peterkin looked around the room before she walked put the door, "I got dogs living better than this. If you guys plan on raising the kid here, you better start cleaning up in here."

Sherrif peterkin walked out leaving me and Y/N alone again. 

"Well, shit." I mumbled.
