Hello! I love your page. Is it ok if a ask for headcanons of Arthur dealing with a pregnant SO that had a miscarriage? It’s ok if you don’t want to though. I understand some people don’t like writing about this stuff, but thank you anyways
Love Anon <3
Arthur Morgan x pregnant SO/miscarriage headcanons
Tumblr media
Warnings/tags: pregnancy, miscarriage, heavy themes/angst (doesn't go too in detail) allusions to Isaac, fluff
Notes: Thanks for the compliment! Not usually too big on writing pregnancy related things but hc's are a bit easier for me and writing a supportive Arthur is always nice. Also realized after writing this that I made it in the reader perspective - not just an SO, so I hope that's okay!
Tumblr media
Arthur is no stranger to loss, having suffered greatly for his choices in the past — so this situation brings a feeling of helplessness that shakes him
Admittedly, he was anxious at the prospect of another chance at fatherhood but you remind him that he’s not the man he used to be
And his excitement of starting a family with you outweighs his fear
When he finds out about the loss, his first concern is you. He will do everything he can to make sure you’re okay; moving heaven and earth to get you any medical care you may need
If you’re safe physically he’ll work to support you emotionally, and he loves being there for you
He doesn’t feel eloquent or well-spoken (though you would disagree) so he mostly sticks to affection and acts of service
As a man who is already giving and helpful, his doting during this time will be constant. Doing any and all work/chores, bringing you tea and a good book, a favorite snack, having the dog or cat curl up besides you when he can’t; anything to make you smile
He will frequently find ways to touch you gently. Shoulder/foot rubs, a kiss on the top of your head, offering his hand to help you up
Mostly he’ll hold you close to him any chance he gets. He knows it makes you feel safe and loved, and in turn it makes him feel like your protector — the one job he feels good enough for
It also soothes his anxiety of losing you which after something like this — can be too much for him
But when you’re in his arms, it grounds him and reassures that you’re really there and really his
All of this to say, he will neglect his own well-being in favor of caring for you, because of this it can take a long time to process and actually feel his own emotions
He has a tendency to retreat inward and try to put on a brave face for your sake during hard times
You have to reassure him that it’s not necessary and would much rather he let it out, or at least find ways to cope that are helpful for him
He does know he can be vulnerable with you though, and with time, relaxing his tough facade comes more naturally to him
Although he’s no stranger to loss, he feels like it’s something he can get through with you by his side
He would never put any pressure on trying for a baby again, but would consider trying if you wanted to
He could also accept if it wasn’t in the cards and easily find happiness in just the two of you. At the end of the day he’s just grateful that you’re safe and healthy

Arthur Morgan Modern Headcannons- Pregnancy
@cantchoosejust1​ This is for you! >:)
Just some modern Arthur and how anything related to pregnancy would work, so Female reader! 
Warnings!: NSFW 18+ themes, probs gonna have a little bit of smut considering ya know, pregnancy.
Lets GO
Tumblr media
Okay straight from the get go, let’s get something straight.
Before you and Arthur are married you obviously had sex
and while you both did your best to be as safe as possible, getting tested, wearing condoms, birth control, the works
there were still some mishaps.
You forgot to take birth control
he got a little excited and so did you so you didn’t really stop to put on protection
So 
There were a couple of times where you two thought you were going to prematurely be parents.
and considering this is before you’re married the two of you get a little nervous.
Not like 
“Oh god we’re having a child out of wedlock” kind of nervous
but like
oh god
this wasn’t the plan
kind of nervous.
But
in all reality those few scares were nothing more than scares.
Though every time you’d have a scare Arthur was nothing but supportive. Worried he wouldn’t be a good dad, or that he’d mess something up, or hell afraid that you’d have the kid and leave.
He wasn’t completely ready to be a dad, not after everything that happened with his ex and Issac, who sadly passed
But he knew if it was gonna be with you he was gonna be okay.
Now
After you get married
and you don’t have a kid cause the scares were just scares...
The two of you will have to sit down and really talk about it.
How many kids do you want? When should you start trying? 
Do you want kids at all?
When the two of you decide you do want kids
its off from there
you just decide that no matter what the two of you will never be particularly ready for kids, no one is, so it’s best to just let nature take its course, not to try and force it
so the only change in the two of your lives is stopping your pills and you don’t have to spend cash on condoms anymore.
You and Arthur are both really surprised that you haven’t gotten pregnant before.
I mean
the man has
a breeding kink
i mean
god
One night, you and him go out drinking together, and you go to a small bar in town, hardly any people there, but you went with John and Abigail on their date night 
and my god
Arthur wasn’t dressed fancy by any means
but 
jesus
did he look good.
Still smeared with grease from working on cars all day, a tank top on showing off all the tattoos on his arms, and tight fitting jeans that framed those massive thighs of his just right
You literally apologized to John and Abigail and made him take you home.
He was confused at first but when the two of you get in the truck and he starts to worriedly ask you how you’re doing you simply tell him “drive” 
He does and when you hit the road you put your hair in a ponytail and get him worked up.
You were lucky you were on the back roads, that man was swerving all over the road, trying to use one hand to guide your head and the other to drive.
By the time you get home he’s got a stain on his pants and a second hard on
He takes the lead from there 
and let me tell you
after you literally pried him away from a bar to show to him just how turned on you got from him? 
He’s completely overcome
He nearly kicked the door in when you got him, and he carried you to the bedroom, his hands gripping your thighs without remorse. 
And when he has you on the bed 
jesus
he’s fantastic
He gets you worked up easy, I mean, you were already, but he makes sure you’re good and ready and then things get hot and heavy.
He’ll fuck you until you’re screaming, begging.
Your legs quivering and tears coming from your eyes
and the whole damn time he’s got that fucking smirk of his on his face, and that deep voice praising you, telling you what a good girl you are.
Not only that but when he’s close to finishing, and you’re close to finishing what has to be like your fifth climax, if you wrap your legs around him so he can’t pull out and tell him to fill you up he’ll bust right there.
The thought of you taking all of him, and he means all of him, turns him on to no end.
To know that a part of him is in you
goddamn
and hell
when he’s finished if he pulls out and his seed doesn’t exactly want to stay where it’s meant to be, he’ll gently push it back into you, muttering “Atta girl” as you whimper from the feeling.
After a night like that?
You had to be pregnant
I mean
come on
You even did that whole put your legs up to help it move down thing
which
you were exhausted so Arthur actually did it, holding your ankles with one hand and trying to slip boxers on with the other.
It was very entertaining for your lustfilled mind.
So
Within the next few weeks
About a month and a half later
you start to get really sick
that good old morning sickness
and the tests had been coming up negative so you’d thought that it hadn’t worked
but 
out of curiosity 
you took another one at work, one that you’d bought on your lunch break, and when you check it and it comes back positive you nearly scream at the top of your lungs with joy.
You’re bursting to tell Arthur when you get home and the whole drive back to the house after work you’re singing with the windows down.
You head straight to his shop, you don’t even think about going home, and you smile happily to see that both Charles and John are also in the shop
He’ll greet you with a smile and a kiss and ask you what has you so chipper.
“Arthur I’ve got news!” 
“What’s that Darlin’? You finally get that promotion?” 
“Better!” 
“Uh...A bonus?” 
“Nope!”
“Aw shit, I ain’t ever gonna get....Holy shit you’re pregnant ain’t you?” 
“You’re gonna be a dad Arthur.” 
“Holy Shit! I’m gonna be a dad!” 
He nearly bursts with joy himself and he grabs Charles and John by the shoulders, laughing with that hearty laugh of his, and then you.
He kisses you so deeply its as if he’s never kissed you before.
He’s never been so excited to call Hosea in his life, he’s practically pacing as he wipes his greasy hands on a towel and grabs his phone 
He’s got Hosea on speed dial and as soon as he picks up the phone he tells him to find Dutch too
Then
He simply
shouts
“Y/N’S Pregnant!” 
Then from the speaker phone 
Dutch
“That’s my boy!”
“DUTCH!” 
“I”VE BEEN WAITING FOR A GRANDSON FOR YEARS”
“WHAT ABOUT JACK?”
“JACK DOESN’T LIKE ME!”
“THEN DON’T BE A DICK”
The two of them argue for a while but in the end congratulate you.
From that moment on, throughout the entirety of your pregnancy Arthur is INCREDIBLY protective over you
I mean
even in the early stages
You aren’t allowed to lift heavy things
like
you’re two months in 
not allowed to lift anything over ten pounds
Arthur’s rules
If you wanna go out he wants to go to.
If you don’t let him, he’ll understand, but he’s gonna call you at least once every hour to make sure nothing happens to you or the baby
He drives you everywhere if he’s able.
That way if a crash happens he can blame himself for anything that happens to you or the baby rather than you blaming yourself for something happening to the baby
He reads up on anything thats baby related
prenatal
postnatal
hospital procedures
the best baby things to buy
the best cribs
bibs
highchairs
pack n’ plays
toys
binkies
bottles
anything he can get his oily mechanic hands on
he spends like 
95 percent of his time on his phone now doing research and keeping notes
when you’re overcome with morning sickness he’s right there holding your hair and offering you saltines
when your cravings come
no matter how late or how early
hes there
“Arthur”
“Hmh?”
“I want thin mints”
“Ain’t even girl scout season.”
“Arthurrrrrr I want cookiesss.”
*Deep sigh followed by the sound of a very large man leaving his very comfortable bed to get his very hot wife some very good cookies from the nearest open store.*
“Arthur! Can we stop at a Rally’s?”
“There ain’t a Rally’s within like fifteen miles of us, that’s like me takin’ you all the way to Texas Roadhouse Darlin’.”
“oh...okay.”
“An hour ain’t that long of a drive.” 
*Puts on your favorite country music because if you cry he will cry.*
He demands that the baby is gonna be a boy
you think it’s a girl
the joke is on the both of you when you go to your fifth or sixth month check up and
BAM fuckin
twins
apparently somewhere on Arthur’s biological side he’s got twins cause now you do
And it is offical
there’s a girl and a boy
HE PANICS
He was ready for one but now two?
GOD
you on the other hand
you just think 
“Im already huge im just gonna get bigger”
Arthur nearly slaps you but instead gives you an angry glare
he goes straight back to research, considering he now has an entirely different set of information to understand
all the twin things
now hes gotta buy double of things
His whole family is chipping in too
not just the two of you, everyone is absolutely PREPARED
for these babies
and obviously 
Karen and the other girls throw a shower for you
which you cry at
because
i mean
hormones
ya know
and you end up telling them all how much you love them
and appreciate them and
and
*Crying*
Literally have so much stuff theres no room in that tiny little ranch house, and it already needed upgraded anyway
so 
Arthur inlists the help of his brothers, and his fathers
Bill, Javier, John, Charles, Lenny, Sean, Hell Dutch even actually lifts a finger and you get to sit back and watch as they build a huge add on to your house
That was a day and a half
it was hot, so you were suffering with a massive stomach 
but 
Arthur was practically stripping for you so that was fantastic
however
not fantastic for him
because after everyone left you practically jumped his bones
I mean
you couldn’t do a lot
but he got the vibes
he was nervous
i mean
theres babies in there
but like
he’s never seen you so fuckin riled up and the fact that you were pregnant and STILL wanted him??
He couldn’t resist
I mean
You were too big to do the normal stuff but 
You found your ways to be sensual with each other
He found a way
The two of you on your side for slow evenings, behind you with gentle thrusts, very slow, and not exactly hot so much as intimate
but
HOT
He just fucks you from behind.
I mean
you can still bend, just don’t lay on your stomach lmao
Doggie style for the win
He’ll run his fingers over your pregnant belly and tell you just how beautiful you look to him with his kids in there
To him
never been a more beautiful thing in his life
Its on one of these very intimate nights, when you’re heavily pregnant, I mean
like
nine months
that your water breaks
you’d both passed out, but you woke up with just that
feeling
and you shook him awake
to which he responded with
“Darlin’ please, I gotta refill I can’t go again just yet-” With a very groggy sleepy wave your way
only for you to slap his hand gently
“It’s time you dork, I’m having these babies whether you like it or not.” 
HE 
IS
AWAKE
literally it takes all of five seconds and he’s slipped off the bed, onto the floor with a thud and then he’s up onto his knees looking at you with his hair all disheveled and eyes wide.
“It’s really time?”
“It’s time.”
He literally wanted to carry you to the car
but you wouldn’t let him throw his back out just because he wanted to do everything
so you waddle to the car and he’s rushing around, grabbing prepacked bags, making sure he doesn’t miss a single one
He grabs reading material
your favorite blanket
the keys to the new minivan you made him get.
and he throws everything in and rushes you to the nearest hospital
he’s cursing the whole time he drives, trying to figure out how to use the newer technology in the van
it has bluetooth for your phone
and he can’t for the life of him figure out how to use it to call 
So he finally says fuck it and asks you politely to call everyone
which 
you just call dutch
because he’s a gossip
and he answers angry at first but then is like
oh shit
its 
3 am
she’s doin the shit
and then he’s like “We’ll be there!” 
and from there he hangs up and he’ll go about getting literally the entire van der linde group rounded up
you get to the hospital easily
Arthur pretty much attempts to get you the best room available
and does everything in his power
hes a little mean to nurses but then immediately apologizes because hes just so nervous that he’s gonna fuck up but all the nurses are incredibly kind and explain that they understand
and that he’s not the worst they’ve seen and thank him for at least taking the time to apologize for his momentary rudness.
Eventally everyone is in the waiting room and Arthur has to run back and forth to give updates
he is running on pure spite, anxiety, fear, and all of the expresso he can get his hands on
Contractions
jesus
he feels so bad
he holds your hand 
and he doesn’t give a shit how hard you squeeze he wants you to be okay
he’d take away all your pain if he could
Every scream literally almost makes him cry
he tells you that you’re doing so good, and that you’re gonna be the absolute best mother anyone could ask for 
and that he’s gonna be by your side for every up and down
So when you get one baby out he’s relieved 
but then remembers that you have another to push out
and that theres still a placenta that you have to push out
and so
He literally doesn’t leave your side
kissing your forehead, squeezing your hand, doing whatever you need him to do
and then
you finally get everything done
you’re exhausted
you’re tired
but
you have two beautiful children
it took you thirteen hours
but they’re there and it was worth it
the boy
you name Issac, with Arthur’s permission
He literally cries in thank you for that.
The girl you name after your mother, which he was happy to agree to
you think the two look like him
but he swears that they look like you
You can see his nose in them, and his lips
but he thinks that they have your lips
they definitely have his eyes, both of them strikingly blue
they were both born with full heads of hair too, just the same color as Arthur’s 
When everyone else meets them 
it’s just a room full of crying adults
they all praise you for doing such a good job at giving birth and they cry at how beautiful your children are
and eventually Arthur shoos them out 
and the two of you sit and hold the twins, smiles on your face, you finally had the start of your already huge family.
You couldn’t be happier
and Arthur?
That man has never smiled any wider than he did when he was taking a picture of you, his beautiful wife, and his two wonderful twins laying on your chest
Later you see him change his phone screen to that picture, it’s his lockscreen and his homescreen, and your profile picture in his contacts followed my (My love)
He’s sappy like that
:)

IT'S NOT A REQUEST! just...... an idea, I mean........
arthur having a really fucking big ass breeding kink and fucking his SO slow and deep, having her ride him gently while he has his hands on her baby bump and he couldn't be harder but guess he was wrong bc he just wrapped his lips around her nipples and oh my god, she's starting to lactate. I mean. it's so soft and sweet. Arthur sucks you dry that night 🥺
THIS IS SO GOOD BRO
Arthur Morgan’s thoughts on Pregnancy
It’s such a guilty pleasure of his to imagine. He’s such a bastard— he knows he has no right to bring a child into this world. To be a father. To raise this kid among his family of criminals…. To have something so innocent and fragile as a pregnant woman, let alone an infant child in this life of constant travel and grazes from enemy bullets. But by god he can’t help it. There must be some fantasy he can escape to.
Sometimes when you check yourself in the mirror, and Arthur comes to hold you from behind and kiss your neck, he puts his hands on your stomach and thinks of what you’d look like swollen with his child. It makes him embarrassingly hard against your backside when he does.
If you do get pregnant, he can’t keep his hands off of you. Constantly at your belly, checking for the slightest bit of growth, for even just a hint of a kick. He’d always been a little fixated on your breasts, but when he finds them growing heavier, he has to stop himself from tearing open every one of your blouses to get his hands and mouth on them directly.
And I know you said he might discover you’re lactating during sex, and I like that, but also….. imagine cabin life. Arthur gets up bright and early. Always makes a big breakfast for the mother to be. When he comes in to check on you, he finds you upright, feeling yourself. You’re in one of his shirts, with clear wet patches where your milk has soaked into the fabric while you overslept. He damn near burns the place down by leaving bacon on the stove, he’s so driven to devour you, to drink from you like your milk is the libation at the altar to a god.
Or, imagine another scene. Ashamed by his wanton desires, he tries not to mention or even hint his want for your breast milk. He’s afraid you’ll think he’s depraved— wanting to drink what’s supposed to feed his child…. That it violates the sacred idea of motherhood. But one day he finds you’re uncomfortable, tossing and turning and nearly moaning from discomfort in bed. And you tell him about how much pressure there is, that your breasts are so full that they ache….. and what kind of gentleman could leave his lady like that?

Augustine O’Leary
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Born 1879 in Donegal, Ireland, the youngest daughter of the family though he would later on begin to identify as a man. His family moved to America in 1880. In 1893 fell pregnant to William Shear, the son of the family next door. pressure from both of their families lead to them marrying the same year. Augustine gave birth in late 1893 to a boy named Robert. Being both still teenagers themselves and having been forced into marriage there were often arguments between the two parents and it soon escalated to William becoming physically violent with augustine. In 1895 just shy of his sons second birthday Augustine found him unresponsive in his crib, his cause of death remains undetermined. When William had arrived home that night he had blamed Augustine and attacked him once again, this time arming himself with a knife from the kitchen. William slashed him across the cheek, leading to the scar he still has today, and after he had dropped the knife to begin strangling him instead Augustine managed to grab a hold of the knife and stabbed him in the throat. before he fled the scene augustine cut his hair short and slipped into some of his husbands clothes in an attempt to disguise himself, he then fled to West Elizabeth where he first met Sean Maguire, another Irish refugee. The two survived on the streets as pickpockets, till they met Dutch Van der lin and Hosea Matthews in a botched robbery attempt that lead to them joining the gang.

“Unsure” - A.M. & C.S.
Tumblr media
** Red Dead Redemption 2 SPOILERS **
Arthur Morgan & Charles Smith x Original female character (not at the same time)
Her news to Arthur didn’t go as expected. Months passed without a single word to each other, and after thinking he had died at some point after the bank robbery, she was surprised when he showed his face again.
Rating: 16+
Warnings: ** Canon character death **, pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy, abandonment, Arthur has TB, Arthur is an asshole
Word count: 3.7k
A/N:  This has previously been posted on Ao3 by me. !MAJOR SPOILERS!, I changed the timeline just a lil just so it would fit a little bit better with the flow of the story. For the sake of my writing Arthur has not previously been a father as I realized halfway through and remembered that he was indeed one at one point #dilf. Did I shed a few tears writing this? Maybe. Having to look up a death scene tends to do that do someone. This has a happy lil ending :)
My Ao3 account: rottingcorps3s
1899
The thought of breaking the news to Arthur instantly made her hands clam up and her body become hot. All the signs were there, how was he so oblivious to it? She had even gone out of her way to make it as obvious as possible, but something in his stubborn brain was keeping him from noticing. She went as far as telling loudmouth Sean about it because she knew he would blurt it out at some point, but Sean wasn’t around much longer after she had told him. It broke her heart when she heard the news about what happened in Rhodes, Sean had talked about how he was going to be an uncle to another snotty-nosed kid around camp and after they had returned with the news she knew she had to finally let Arthur know. There was just never a good moment to break the news, from the O’Driscoll’s and the Pinkertons hunting them down to finding out that Arthur was sick, and the constant moving around from location to location, she was already halfway through the pregnancy and the growing bump and morning sickness was getting too hard to hide from the rest of the group and Arthur still hadn’t picked up on it.
Arthurs reaction to the news wasn’t good. He said nothing when the words ‘I’m pregnant’ left her lips, and the only other noise besides her broken and strained words was Arthurs boots on the hardwood floor of the two-story house in Shady Belle. He had left without a single word uttered and that’s how he stayed for days, silent and completely avoiding her at any cost. He had even stopped coming to the room they were supposed to be sharing and opted on sleeping outside the house. This action from him made red flags fly in the eyes of the rest of the group. Something was obviously wrong, and they knew that and chose to keep their nose out of the couple's business. She had lost track of how much time had gone by since she last spoke to Arthur and lost count at 2 months, only pushing her due date closer and bringing her to 6 months and it was obvious.
In those 2 months, she had broken the news to the other gang members, and they were finally able to put two and two together as to why they hadn’t seen the two of them on each other all the time. The news of the baby brought a lighthearted feel around the camp, except for Arthur and no matter how many times Dutch, and Hosea and any of them, in general, tried to talk to him about it he would go silent and storm off the other way. The group took it upon themselves to make sure she was fed, healthy, and felt loved among the group. On many occasions some of the members would come back with small gifts for her and baby, Javier had gifted her jewelry and told her to hold onto it and sell it if anything happened, Charles had given a plethora of items from clothing to food, and anything she could think of, even Dutch Van Der Linde himself had stepped in and went out of his way and brought books so she was able to teach the little one to read when it came time.
_____
Everything had fallen apart so fast. The gang was in shambles as most of the firepower had either disappeared or was dead. Lenny and Hosea were gone and had been given a proper burial. Dutch was gone, Javier was gone, Bill and Micah were also gone, and Arthur was nowhere to be found. The group had turned to Sadie, Charles and her almost 7-month pregnant self to take charge and figure out what to do. Sadie and Charles had taken on most of the stress and were able to relocate the group to a small village North of Saint Denis and it was going great. The gang, or who was left of it, were still there to support her as she became farther along, and her belly only continued to grow with the child of Arthur Morgan.
The small camp had been comfortably silent that day, the only voices that were heard that day were Miss Grimshaw, who was either nagging on Tilly or getting on Karen’s nerves, and Mr. Pearson who was preparing dinner. She was fed up with the silence and took it upon herself to put on some music, as they were able to salvage one positive thing from Shady Belle. Her arms rested on top of her belly as she listened to the gentle tunes that swam around the air of the camp. It was midday and the sun was at its highest in the sky, the feeling of the thick humid air, and the rays from the sun made her let out a small yawn and she took that as a sign to take her usual before-dinner nap. She was lucky enough to be given one of the comfier areas of the cabin and took this opportunity to sleep in as much as possible.
_____
The bright rays of the late afternoon sun are what woke her up from what was supposed to be a short nap but turned into a few hours long. The cabin was quiet as she was the only person inside, everyone tended to be around each other next door as chores and meal preparing was also done there. Her process of getting up off the padded flooring was something she would be embarrassed by if anyone saw her struggle to stand her 7-month-pregnant self-up. She let out a deep sigh as she finally came to a stand and used one of the wooden support beams to lean against as she caught her breath. Her eyes caught sight of the small pile of clothes that sat on one of the nightstands and decided to look at the small pieces of clothing.
The larger her belly grew the more the reality set in that she was indeed carrying an entire human inside of her, and more, and more she realized that her baby would grow up without a father, and as much as the small group helped her and supported her she knew that it would never completely fill that void of never knowing someone who helped create them. As much as Arthur had hurt her from this whole situation she was determined to make sure that the child would know who their father was as he was a good man, but failed in other categories of life, like parenting.
She approached and picked up the folded pile of clothing and decided to hunt down Sadie and some of the other girls to gush over the cuteness and size of the material. It brought a smile to her face just at the thought and had a huge smile on her face as she jumped for the door and made her way to the next-door building. Not a single soul was outside of the cabin which was odd considering the sun was still illuminating most of the sky and the stew was only half done. The lack of people made a pit form in the bottom of her stomach at the thought that something might’ve happened to everyone. A laugh inside the building absolved those ideas and a small feeling of relief washed over her and she recognized it as Karen’s. She smiled at the sound and the giddy happy feeling was back as she approached the door and pushed it open.
“Hey, Sadie, I need you to come look at-“ she cut herself off as the door was fully pushed open and revealed the group in its entirety, plus one.
A familiar pair of blue eyes had finally made eye contact with her after 3 months of being ignored, and what she had assumed was death, but that assumption turned out to be wrong as he stood no less than 2 feet away from her. His face that used to be either clean-shaven or scruffy was now closer to a full beard and his hair had grown longer than the length he likes to keep it at. His face was pale, and he had clearly lost a significant amount of weight whilst he was missing. His face softened at the sight of her face as he had a sad, pleading look in his eyes. He panned over her body, and he stopped as he noticed her protruding belly and swallowed aggressively. The room had gone completely quiet at her arrival, and it made her feel like a deer in the headlights as everyone looked at her. Arthur opened his mouth to say something, but before he was able to get anything out the sound of footsteps approaching from outside raised an alarm in everyone around. She quickly moved from directly in front of the doorway and spun around to see who the steps were coming from, and it was one of the last people she would have expected, but the day was just full of missing people showing up. A few quiet gasps were heard as the one and only Dutch Van Der Linde appeared in the doorway, in a similar state as Arthur with longer-looking hair and a full beard instead of his normal mustache. The room immediately filled with questions and confusion as everyone had already come to terms with the fact that they would never see a single person from the group of men that had disappeared weeks ago.
Dutch’s voice boomed through the small cabin as he let out a lighthearted comment about someone getting him a cup of coffee and some of the other girls were quick to move and do just that. His eyes scanned the group as he took in the sight of everyone, and he noticed her standing to the side with a small smile on her face at the arrival of her leader.
“Oh miss,” he started and slowly approached her, “I am glad to see you two have made it.” He grinned widely and approached her with open arms which she gladly did accept.
Arthur's eyes hadn’t left her since the second she stepped into the room. She was the first and only thing on his mind the since the day he washed up on the beach and finally regained consciousness and she was the only reason he had fought so hard to get back to the gang. It took almost being killed by Pinkertons and chased around a damn island by locals for him to finally realize how much he had fucked up since the day he turned around and left her to stand alone in the room. To say he was jealous that Dutch was hugging her and not him was an understatement, he was dumb, but he wasn’t dumb enough to know that he had put himself into the situation of being jealous over a simple hug.
The chatter in the room picked up once more as a portion of the group had been reunited with the rest and joyful conversations and questions filled the room's air. Arthur still hadn’t been able to build up any courage to walk over to her and finally hear her voice talking to him and not just hearing it in passing conversations. She was engrossed in a conversation with Dutch and Charles as she excitedly nodded at what he assumed was a question about the baby as she took one of each of their hands and held it to her stomach, a large grin on her face at their reaction to feeling the baby move around inside. The action of seeing two of his closest friends interact with his unborn child before he even had a chance made him incredibly jealous, but he reminded himself that he had put himself into this situation and he was determined to do something about it.
Tilly was quick to notice the lack of Arthur’s focus on their conversation that had turned one-sided. The puppy dog look in his eyes as he looked off into the distance at the scene that was unfolding in front of him. Her heart hurt for him, but he more than enough chances to change the situation, and he didn’t. He was sick and dying, and everyone in the group knew that and regardless of if he would be able to make it better, it wouldn’t be for long. Tilly continued to watch Arthur as he watched her, his eyes were glossed over and gave the look of someone who was close to crying but kept themselves from doing so. His posture changed from a hunched over, craned neck look to a more puffed out chest and broader shoulders as he stood up from where he was sat and followed a few steps behind her as she had just closed the door and made a quiet exit with a small goodnight out into the air for anyone to hear. He was taking his chance.
She was already inside the cabin next door by the time Arthur had made it outside. He took a moment to take in a deep breath of the muggy air and let it out in shaky breaths. His approach to the door, that she had just walked into, felt like the walk of a lifetime. His hands were sweating and clammy, and his body was tense as his boots made noise against the wooden steps. The sound of approaching footsteps and the door creaking open alerted her to the presence of someone and she had a feeling of who it might be, but it still surprised her, nonetheless.
“Oh,” her voice was quiet, “do you need something?” She attempted to make her tone sound normal and not anxious. The moment had finally come for Arthur to accept the fact that he was going to be a father.
The glossed overlook in his eyes had turned into full tears as he wasn’t able to hold his internal wall. The stress of Guarma hitting him like a train, the stress of not knowing who was and wasn’t alive back home, and the stress of knowing that he had failed a task that he preached to John over and over about being a good father to Jack. His body melted into the ground as he approached her, with every step he took his body shrunk farther down until he was on his knees in front of her with his head hung down to where he was looking at the ground.
“Oh, Arthur.” The sound of her voice saying his name sent him more into a fit as the tears only spilled out faster, falling onto the wooden floor with a small pitapat. His forehead gently headbutted her belly as he fell slightly forward into her, her hands wrapping themselves around his head to hold her balance, but never moving them as her fingers tangled into his hair. They stayed in that position for quite some time, enjoying the feeling of each other as they had both been deprived of it for months. Arthur told himself from that moment on that he was going to use his last dying thought to remember her face and just how truly beautiful she was.
_____
Arthur knew that once he climbed that mountain that it was going to be a one-way trip up. His body had decided that fate long before his mind had. The thought of her and her 9-month along belly never left his mind as his fight with Micah came to an end. The feeling of the final blow to his jaw combined with the pain of the two of them previously rolling off the small edge of the cliff made his body completely give out. His lungs felt like they were collapsing as Micah gave his speech, and his body slowly began to accept that he was never going to truly become the father he always wanted to be. His own cowardness had kept him enjoying the last few months with the woman who was supposed to be his future, and he had no one else to blame but himself. He was lucky enough that she had given him another chance, and he was grateful for it, even if it was out of pity. He didn’t deserve to even be looked at by her, or have his name leave her lips, let alone forgiven for abandoning her for with child for weeks. The desperate eye contact Arthur shared with Dutch said a thousand words in the blink of an eye. Dutch gave a sterner look back as if he knew what Arthur was thinking about, but that couldn’t change the outcome of the situation now. The sun had just begun rising as Dutch and Micah ditched their positions to save their own asses. As much heartbreak, he had caused her, and the number of lies he previously broke from their midnight conversations of him telling her that he would never leave her, he had one more chance to redeem himself and keep one more promise. Her face flashed before his eyes as she became his last dying breath when he let out one more deep sigh. She became his last thought as his vision blurred and his body became numb.

1907
“He don’t know the half of it.” John and Charles had reunited after 8 years of being unsure if the other one had made it out alive or not. When John heard the news about the ‘The Wolf’ he jumped on it with Uncle and they had decided to investigate it themselves to see if it was Charles, the news was correct. They conserved among themselves and caught up with each other before Charles was interrupted for his time in the ring, which he crushed, by the way, walking away with double his wager.
“So, what happened?” Charles questioned as they made their way to one of the hotels in Saint Denis where Charles had been staying before he was planning to take the ferry. John relayed a shorter story to Charles of what happened up on the mountain and Charles nodded in response to the news about Arthur, which he was already aware of.
“They made it out alive,” Charles stated. The confusion on John’s face made Charles let out a half-hearted laugh.
“What do you mean?” At this point, Charles could’ve been talking about any of the old gang members, but he put extra emphasis on the word they.
“You’ll see, come on.”
_____
She had just laid him down for his nap as the sound of footsteps approaching the room door made her aware that Charles might have finally returned. They were planning on going up north today and were taking the ferry to do said thing. She was excited to be leaving the Saint Denis area, they had stayed in the Lemoyne area for the past 8 years and stayed in a small home with an older woman who was living alone and offered housing in turn for helping her around the house and protecting the property, which she and Charles had gladly agreed to do so. She was able to raise her son in an environment that wasn’t hostile and aggressive. The change gave her the opportunity to grieve Arthur’s death in a healthy manner. Charles and the older woman were there to help along the way as the older lady was a mother and grandmother herself. She helped him learn to read to the point where he was speaking better than most adults these days. Her death was a painful loss for both her and Charles, but especially for her son as he truly saw her as a grandmother. Her death was the reason they decided to head up north, a fresh start. The sight of Charles opening the door made a smile spread across her face, but it faltered slightly as she realized he wasn’t alone like he usually was.
“John?” Her response was breathy as she was in disbelief at the sight of him, it had been years since she last saw him.
John had a similar reaction to seeing her standing in the center of the room, she looked healthy and not pregnant like the like time he had seen her. His eyes diverted to the small figure sleeping on the bed and he felt his stomach drop at the sight. The young boy felt familiar even though this was his first time ever laying eyes on the boy. He had the same dirty blonde hair color as his late father and looked so much like a young version of the man, his brother, he hadn’t seen in 8 years. He would later find out the young boy shared another thing in common with Arthur, and it was his eyes. The same blue eyes that stared into his soul and told him to go and be a goddamn man.
_____
From that day on she and Charles had decided to ditch the plan to leave up north, for now at least. John had bought a small property in Beecher’s Hope and wanted to make it a home for him and his family. Charles, Uncle, and her all did their best in aiding John in his journey of becoming a rancher. Camping out had been something that she and Charles hadn’t done in years, as almost directly after the fallout of the gang they came across the older woman and her cabin. The older woman used to tease both about their relationship as neither of them had officially decided it they were a thing or not, they were more like two close friends raising a child together…is what she told Abigail. She and Charles had shared a handful of exciting nights together, but that was something they decided to keep between themselves. Hell, they even slept in the same bed 99% of the time, with the little boy sleeping in the middle of them most nights. He had even called Charles his dad which was a choice she left for him to choose, but she and Charles made sure he knew about Arthur and tended to talk about him as if he were still alive. Charles took the role of father figure like it was a life-or-death situation, and he knew that his fallen gang member would appreciate it. So, was she really that surprised when she found out she was pregnant again?
A/N: Remember to leave me some love, I’m easy to please :*

christmas countdown┊main masterlist┊rdr2 masterlist
Tumblr media
The kitchen appears as if a bomb of flour has exploded, sending white dust across the countertops, sprinkled onto the floor and spattered on the walls. As much as the mess is stressing you out, you can’t find it within you to care too much. The phonograph situated under the living room window is playing a classical christmas record. You’d picked it up in town, finding that it’s helpful in drowning out the sound of the cold wind outside. 
“Oh, baby, let me help.” You cringe at the sight of your daughter spilling dribbles of milk onto the counter instead of into the mixing bowl. 
“I do it, Momma.” Aspen says, her little fingers trying to steady the jar. You wipe your hands on your apron, coming up behind her and holding your hands over hers to help. 
“You’re doing a very good job. Momma’s just gonna help, is all.” You reassure, smiling as Aspen helps you add the ingredients. Once the milk is all poured in, she takes the spoon and begins to stir the ingredients together. You glance up at the window by the front door, noting that the blue hills in the distance are no longer visible. In fact nothing is visible. All that you can see is white. Snowblind. It’s far below freezing outside, and you worry for anyone left out in the hellstorm. Your heart seizes in your chest, but when your daughter's worried eyes land on you, you smile. Pushing down any worry. 
“Daddy?” Aspen asks, her sad, worried, little blue eyes glancing towards the door. You curse yourself for putting your worry onto her. Her little heart is far too innocent for such troubles. 
“Daddy will be home from work soon, baby. Why don't we get these cookies done so we can surprise him, okay?” 
“Okay.” She smiles again. That perfect little smile, identical to Arthur's. 
Aspen helps you roll the dough out and cut it into her requested little shapes. She had wanted to make her daddy a deer, but when that proved to be too difficult for even you, she had settled on snowflakes, horses, crosses, and stars. 
Once all the cookies are cut, you send Aspen into the living room with Bear. She’s within eyeshot, and you smile at the sight of her sitting on the floor with the black newfoundland. She’s trying to read him her favorite storybook. Her legs are crossed, with Bear’s head resting in her lap as she tries to recall the story. She can’t read yet, but by God, your little girl is trying. 
You place the raw cookies down into the Dutch oven before covering it in glowing red coals. A quick glance at your pocket watch, and your gut sinks. It's a quarter ‘till five already, and your husband was supposed to be home at four. The light from the window is fading, the white light going dull as day turns to dusk. 
This is your first Christmas here. Your first Christmas away from the gang, from that life. Aspen has a chance at a normal life now, you all do, and you’ll be damned if some hellish forces try to take that from your family. 
All that you can do now is keep yourself distracted. Years ago you would have run out into the storm, leaped onto Sugar and galloped towards town looking for him, but you have more than Arthur to worry about now. As much as it kills you to sit here, you can’t leave her, and you surely can’t take her. 
To distract yourself from the sticky black cloud of thoughts, you clean the kitchen, wiping up all of the flour and washing all of the dishes in the dish bin. The phonogram switches to the next song as you finish up, and you check your watch to confirm that the cookies are done. 
“Aspen, wanna help?” You call towards the living room. Her brown curls bounce as she turns her head towards you, blue eyes filled with excitement.
“Uh-huh!” Aspen hums, flipping her book to the next page and placing it in front of Bear’s paws, “You read now, puppy.” She whispers, offering him a sweet pat to the head before she’s running back into the kitchen. 
You pull the Dutch oven out of the fire, removing the lid with potholders so you can peek inside. 
“Remember, don’t touch. This is hot.” You tell her, and Aspen nods her head, taking your instruction with the utmost seriousness. 
“Hot.” She repeats, keeping her little hands far away. When you pull the cookies out, she gasps with wonder. 
“Wow!” She smiles, eyes going wide with joy. Her little hands clasp together, “Cookies for Daddy! Them are so pretty, huh, Momma?”
“Very pretty.” You struggle to contain your smile, placing the cookies onto glassware to set out for when Arthur returns home. Of course, you set a few out for Santa Claus, too. 
As Aspen drools over the cookies (and sneaks one to Bear), you check on the roast. You purposely hold your breath as you lift the lid, knowing that the smell will make you sick. You deem it done, and then return to the cookies. Just as you’re about to take one for yourself, Bear barks. 
“Daddy’s home!” Aspen’s eyes light up, and your eyes flicker to the door hopefully. The door opens quickly, and in emerges your husband, wrapped in his ancient, blue winter coat. The hat on his head is covered in snow, and when he pulls it away from his head, you see how pink his cheeks are. As miserable as he must be, he shows nothing but happiness. 
“There’s my girls! C’mere.” Arthur says as Aspen erupts into giggles, nearly tripping over her dress as she runs into his arms. He shrugs his coat off just in time to scoop her wiggly little body up. He sits Aspen on his waist, and as she wraps her arms around his neck, he looks to you. 
“Oh, Arthur, I was so worried. You must be frozen.” You whisper, eyebrows drawing together in concern. 
“I’m just fine now, sweetheart.” He smiles, extending his arm to pull you into his open side. His eyes look to yours, melting away any trace of worry that you’re clinging to from the day. Your eyes slip shut, and you let out a long breath as Arthur holds you and Aspen against him. Aspen wraps her hands around you both, effectively creating a hug between all three of you. 
“Love you, darlin’.” Arthur whispers to you, and you look up, placing a small kiss to his lips. 
“S’ Christmas Eve.” Arthur smirks, “Santa comin’ tonight?” 
You pull away from Arthur, keeping your hands intertwined as you bring him towards the kitchen. Aspen nods profusely, small fingers twirling her curls nervously, “Mhm! I listened to Momma and you, I'm on the good list, Daddy.”
“I know you are, baby. I’m sure he’ll be comin’ tonight.” You reassure, “Well,” You divert your attention to Arthur who must be starving, “We have been very busy today.” 
— — — 
“She’s asleep.” Arthur whispers, closing Aspen’s bedroom door, being extra careful to not let the door creak, “Bear’s up in bed with her.” He cracks a smile, momentarily glancing to the Christmas tree, and under it, where a few presents signed from Santa sit for Aspen. You look up from your seat on the couch, putting down your embroidery to extend your hand to Arthur. 
“Come here.” You request. His much larger, rough hand slips into yours effortlessly, and he sits beside you on the couch. Naturally, you curl up against him, cherishing his warmth, his love. 
The fireplace holds a decent sized fire, and flames lick the mantle, emitting a steady warmth onto the two of you. The crackle and pop of embers is soothing, and your eyes slip closed as you fall into a comfortable quiet. 
“Thanks for puttin’ her to sleep.” You whisper. 
“‘Course. I missed her. I hate bein’ away from you both.” Arthur shakes his head, “I don’t like leavin’ you out here. And trust me– I know you can handle your own, I just… don't like bein’ away.” Arthur admits, and you rest your head against him. 
“I know. It’s not forever, though. We’ll be okay.” 
Arthur hums, and then raises an eyebrow, as if remembering something. 
“I got you somethin’ for Christmas. S’just little.” 
Your interest is piqued, and you scoot forward on the couch to peek as he reaches into his leather satchel on the floor. 
“Arthur, you didn’t have to–” You start, your voice quickly dying as you see what he’s pulling out. 
A little leather-bound journal is extended to you. Your eyebrows furrow, and you hesitate to take it, but Arthur nods. 
“Is this…? How did you– Where?” You struggle to organize your thoughts, words failing as you take the book, as you flip through the pages. Your questions become more muddled as you realize that this is Arthur’s journal. The one that he’d documented everything in. The one that he’d lost in the escape from Beaver Hollow. Your jaw falls slack, confusion and nostalgia, loss and love swirling together in your head, “How…?” You whisper, tears filling your eyes as you glance to Arthur, then down to the page where he’d documented the day Aspen was born. 
“Called in a favor from an old friend.” Arthur smirks, but turns serious, tapping the book page, “I want you to have this, considerin’ most of these entries are about you.”
Your heart swells, tears dripping down your cheeks as you hold his journal close to your heart. 
“I love it, Arthur. I- I love you.” You whimper, emotionally. He smiles, warm and loving, his thumb wiping a tear from your cheek. 
“Love you too, sweetheart.”
He holds you against him for a long while, the two of you flipping through old memories, good and bad. You recount the day you got married, the day Aspen was born. The most haunting entry is the last one. The day Arthur had begged you, forced you to take Aspen and Sugar, to flee Beaver Hollow and get as far away as possible. You’ll never forget turning around and seeing the place go up in flames, not knowing if you’d ever see your husband again. When Arthur made it out that day, he had left nearly everything– including his journal. You both had assumed it burned in the fire, and any hope that it didn’t was crushed by the fact that you can’t go back there.
After a while of flipping, the anxiety in your stomach finally quells, and you speak up, “I have a little surprise for you too.” You whisper, closing the journal and setting it on the coffee table. Arthur’s eyebrows draw together, and he sits up straighter on the couch as you turn to face him. Your hands toy with each other, and Arthur takes them in his own to quell the bad habit. 
“You didn’t have to–” He begins. 
“No, no,” You huff a laugh, “I didn’t spend any money.” 
His eyebrows draw further together as you bite your lip nervously. 
“Darlin? What is it?” Arthur asks, and you smile sheepishly. 
One deep breath, in and out, and you’ll tell him. He won’t be mad surely? Right? He couldn’t be… not your Arthur.
You take a breath, “I’m pregnant again.”
Arthur’s eyes go wide in surprise, and he stutters over his words for a moment. You search his eyes, his face for any sort of reaction, and in a moment his lips crack into a smile. 
“We’re– we’re havin’ another baby? You’re sure?” Arthur asks hopefully, hands squeezing yours. You nod. 
“I didn’t wanna tell you until I was sure, and… well, I’m sure now, Arthur. I'm pregnant.”
Arthur laughs, eyes locked onto yours, heart soaring with more emotion than he ever thought possible. He never thought he would love anyone again… and then he met you, and then he was sure he'd never love anyone as much as he loves you– and then you made him a father, twice now. Arthur's hands tighten around yours, and you finally break into a teary eyed smile, the anxiety gone now that you've managed to get the words out.
"We're havin’ another baby.” You repeat, smiling up at him with blurred vision.
Before you can say much else, Arthur’s hand gently grips your jaw, and he pulls you against his lips. Your hand still squeezes his as he moves against you, only pulling away to breathe. 
“You’re givin’ me everything I’ve ever wanted.” Arthur smiles, the deep kind, the kind that wrinkles the crows feet in the corners of his eyes. 
Arthur's hand snakes down to your stomach, and although there is no noticeable bump, it brings him comfort to rest his palm against it. He knows his baby is in there, your baby, and he wants to be close by. It’s a small habit he’d done when you were pregnant with Aspen too. 
“We made it, darlin’, we–” Arthur huffs, a smile on his lips, “I've got you here, in our home. Our daughter sleepin’ in her bed. Our dog. You're carryin' my baby again."
Arthur's tone grows serious, and he brings your hand up to his lips, kissing the top, “Thank you.”
“Merry Christmas, Arthur.” 
The snowstorm rages on outside, but it is far from able to outshine the joy and the warmth that is projecting from your four little walls this Christmas Eve.

DO NOT READ IF YOU ARENT INTO BIRTH/LABOUR!
Been a while, huh? Been watching a lot of RDR1 and RDR2 content and just generally really been into cowboys recently. So, plot essentially is a cowboy and his pregnant, overdue wife live on a farm. The wife is still determined to do farm work while her husband is away, her water breaks in while shes trying to feed the animals in the barn and she goes into labour while her husband is away. So anyways, enjoy! Character names are: Josie, the pregnant wife. Theo, cowboy/husbands name.
Theo had a rather stubborn woman for a wife. It’s what drew him to her in the first place. She got smashed at a saloon and refused to let him take her home which, too an extent, he could understand: men loved to take advantage of women in his time, especially a rugged looking man like him. It wasn’t until she projectile vomited and looked into his warm brown eyes that she let him take her home. They laughed, they cried, and they kissed that entire ride home. Their love only grew, and now they were married, owned a farm, and were expecting they’re first child.
“You shure you’ll be all right?” The rugged cowboy asked his poor, very pregnant wife. His brown eyes were wide and full of worry as he placed his large, calloused hands on her belly. Josie softly exhaled, her hands pressed deeply into her aching back. This pregnancy had been taking its toll on her, but she was far to stubborn to acknowledge it or burden her wonderful Theo. He was already doing so much for her. Built an entire nursery for her and the baby: why shouldn’t she be able to help, just because she’s heavily pregnant and heavily overdue?
“Theo, it’s fine. I’m not going anywhere.” The black haired woman, with her hair tied back in a long braid down in the middle of her back said as she cupped her husband’s scruffy jawline and gave his chapped lips a soft kiss. Oh, how could he deny her when she looked so beautiful? Carrying his child, giving him a family…
Hesitantly, he smiled and put his hat on, getting on his horse and waving to her before heading into town for some groceries. Josie sighed as she watched her husband slowly get smaller and smaller before he disappeared over the hills. She grunted softly as she felt a sudden pain in her stomach. “Uff… probably nothing.”
She shook her head and waddled out of the house and too the barn, grabbing a pale and filling it with feed as she entered the old barn, whose red paint had all but faded. The smell of hay, grass, and animals filled her nose.
The sheep softly bleated in their pen, excited to be fed as the woman slowly moved over to the feeder, struggling to lift the pale to pour it into the feeder.
“There we- AH!” She ubruptly dropped the pale halfway through filling the feeder, spilling feed over the ground. Josie stumbled back, her legs spreading ever so slightly as she clutched her belly. “Huff… huff… ohh… AGH!” She let out a yelp as a mixture of blood and water shot out of her, soaking her panties and her long skirt. Horrified at the clear stain on her skirt, she looked out the barn doors thet revealed the long horizon and far down the road, the small town her husband was currently at. She let out a small whimper as she gripped her skirt tightly and lifted it, revealing the puddle under her. Another pain tore through her as tears began to well in her eyes: not from pain, but from fear and panic. Would she have to give birth without a doctor? Without Theo? Would he miss this precious moment he waited for 9 months to see??
“Nngh! No, no, no…” The poor woman hunched over, something heavy making its way through her belly to her pelvic region. She looked up frantically, sweat dripping down her face as she noticed a small corner at the end of the barn that was stuffed with hay straws. At least it’d be soft enough for her to give birth in. Very slowly and painfully, the desperate Josie waddled her way over to the small corner, ragged breaths escaping her as soft tears fell down her cheeks. She practically collapsed into the hay, spreading her legs as she pulled her skirt all the way up. “Mmphhh… hhh… *sob* Please, no… He has to be here. I can- NNGH! h-huh—hold it in…” She desperately cried as she squeezed her thighs together, feeling the weight in her pelvis grow.
An hour had passed as Josie’s cries could be hear over the animals and all across the farm. She found herself tearing her nails into her skirt and practically screaming as she attempted to hold back pushing until Theo got home. But life waits for no one. Her babies head pressed itself against her fully dilated slit, attempting to escape her womb. “No! No, no, no- AGHH! P-Please, no… he has to be here, d-dammit-“ She held her hand over her pussy, pressing down hard and gritting her teeth as she squeezed her thighs together, not wanting this baby to come out. “Theo, please…” She raised her eyes to heaven and sobbed, wanting nothing more than for her loving husband to come home.
The cowboy muttered a thanks to the store owner as he took the vegetables in his satchel and headed to his horse, completely unknowing of what his poor wife was going through home. Whistling, he slugged the satchel over his shoulders and rode all the way home.
The lovely and nostalgic look of his farm was just in view as he sped his horse up, unable to control his smile as the farm got bigger in his view. How he couldn’t wait to see his beautiful wife away. He stopped his horse at the front of the house, tying the stallion up to the post before entering the house…
“Josie, darlin’! I got us dinner!” Silence. His stomach dropped and he felt his chest tighten. “Josie?” The confused Theo walked around the empty house, the only sound heard being his boots clicking against the wooden floors. She wasn’t in their bedroom. Wasn’t in the kitchen. Wasn’t in the living room. The tightness in his chest grew as he walked outside, his brows furrowed and his eyes sharp as he looked around the entire farm for his wife.
“AAGHHHH!” A loud scream that practically shook the ground could be heard in the direction of the barn. The cowboys eyes went wide, his heart pounded. “JOSIE!” He cried, his boots bounding across the dirt as he rushed to the barn. Sobs and grunts could be heard from the very end of the barn where he saw two bare legs sticking out from behind one of the stalls. He could recognize those beautiful heels anywhere: after all, they were a wedding gift for Josie. He kicked up some hay as he ran over to his wife. He found himself standing over the labouring woman, panting, his brown eyes wide as they welled with tears upon the sight of her.
Her once tight and neat braid was now lose and messy. Her lovely face was strained with pain. Strands of her hair stuck to her face as sweat dripped from her forehead. Her bright, blue eyes once filled with love were now filled with pain and relief as she gazed up at her husband, letting out a sob as she attempted to smile at him.
“Christ…” The cowboy wrasped as he dropped to his knees and took his poor wife in his large arms, peppering her face and hair with kisses as his strong hands held her aching back. “Theo…” she cried into his blonde hair, gripping his shirt tightly as her legs trembled. “Oh, Josie- Baby, I’m so sorry. I’m here, it’s me. I- Wh-When did this happen??” He cupped her face as she let out a gasp and a soft grunt. “A-A hour and- mph! a half ago… I-It hurts- I didn’t- ghh! Didn’t want to- have this baby- ngh! without you- Theo…!” She practically forced the words out as she sobbed and rolled her head back, kicking her legs and squirming as she let out another strained yell. The cowboy looked horrified to see his Josie in so much pain. He quickly scrambled to her legs, forcing them apart and nestling himself between them as he took his blue shirt off and placed it underneath Josie. “Okay, okay… Josie, I need you to push for me. Yer fully dialated, so just—“ He was interrupted by Josie screaming again and the head quickly becoming visible between her flaps. “Slow down, darlin’, slow down!” He exclaimed, quickly taking her hand in his as she continued to scream and push. He cupped his free hand over the head and gently pressed, keeping it in place and causing excruciating pain for his wife. “PLEASE- GHHH! L-Let me push!” She writhed on the hay, desperate for relief from the pain. The cowboy grimaced at the sight and wiped away his tears. “I know it hurt, baby, but I can’t have you tear. Slow pushes, okay? Short breaths. It’s okay, yer having our baby…” His voice broke with emotion as he removed his hand from her cunt, using it to stroke her trembling thigh and soothe her, pressing soft kisses to her pale skin. The woman panted before lifting herself up and pushing softly, gripping her husbands hand tightly as the babies head began to come out, slower this time. She stopped pushing to gasp, letting out a torn sob as she looked at her husband with desperation. He struggled to contain his emotions and she crawled over to her side, embracing her as she wrapped her arms around him and gripped his shirt tightly, sobbing and moaning into his chest.
“S’okay, s’okay… yer so close, Josie. Can you give me another little push?” He placed his hand over her heaving stomach as he felt her tense again and begin to gently push. “Good girl, doin’ so good… Lord—“ He muttered against her black hair, letting the tears start to fall as he held his very vulnerable wife like this. Never had he imagined this would be how they had their firstborn: covered in hay, alone in a barn, with the animals and God as their witnesses.
“Theo… Theo!” Josie got increasingly agitated as she felt the head begin to crown, slipping her hand down between her thighs as she held her husband tighter. “I gotchya, I gotchya- little pushes, baby. You’re doin’ so good…” She gasped and let out a short scream as more fluids gushed out of her and the head popped out. She let out a cry of relief as she burried her face further into her husband’s chest as he sat up to look over her belly at the progess she was making. More tears fell down his cheeks as he helped his wife sit up so she could see her progress. “Look what yer doing… see? You’re having our baby.” She sighed and gave Theo a tearful look as he kissed her cheek. “Sh-Shoulders…” She grunted, pulling her leg back as she began to push again. “Atta girl, that’s it… beautiful, Josie! My God…” He watched with his wife as she screamed again, the shoulders twisting and finally coming out of her, along with the rest of their baby. “It’s out! It’s out, Josie!” The cowboy cried with joy as he wife fell back into the hay, exhausted. Theo quickly scooped up their pale, bloodied and wet child into his shirt he had placed on the ground. The newborn began to scream and wail, which relieved the both of them. “A boy, Josie.” He sobbed with joy as he took out his knife and meticulously cut the cord, swaddling their newborn son in his shirt as he layed back on the hay and placed their son on his wife’s chest. Her tired eyes landed on the baby ontop of her as she weakly lifted her arms and held him. “Hi, baby… Oh, Theo…”Some more sobs escaped her as her wonderful husband embraced both his son and wife, all of them crying, in this barn.

passerine is coming at a great point because i hit both one of my lowest and highest points in terms of dealing with that kind of trauma just last night. (told someone about it, but only after getting stupidly drunk on a work night)
i never experienced a situation exactly like that in the fic but the unhealthy coping is EXACTLY me and arthurs comforting is just as healing to me
i took so many screenshots while i was reading, i was literally gasping at things like "do i look different? will they notice?", or being upset about there not even being a scar, you have no idea how healing it is to feel so seen all with the secure distance of a fictional universe.
i could write for ages and ages about passerine you have no idea
I often think that writing, fan fiction, and even video games in general are a kind of coping mechanism. At least they are for me.
When I was figuratively drowning in the wake of my trauma, RDR2 and the fandom was an escape for me. Somewhere I could put energy into that wasn’t my own terrible situation.
CW under the break, because I’m going to get real in a way that women should:
I had a traumatic miscarriage of a very wanted pregnancy when I wrote that first chapter of Passerine. Literally, I wrote most of it in bed recovering from surgery. It was the second miscarriage I had in six months. Throwing myself into the fandom was quite possibly the only thing I could do to not completely lose it. Writing ten thousand words about pain and trauma and trying to heal, well - that was my therapy. That was my screaming into the sky.
I had no scars. I had no visible signs of this trauma. Women don’t talk about shit like this. I felt so goddamn alone. So I turned inward. I wrote a character in this fictional world who suffered and was consoled. Passerine is a cry into the void. What I’m learning is that I’m not so alone. That the cry into the void was heard, and that others hurt in the same way.

YES GIVE US THE JAVIERLAMB LORE PLS 🤲
JAVIERLAMB LORE DUMP UNDER THE TAG
(tw for themes of SA/CA, pregnancy, spoilers for rdr2/rdr1)
@sukunasstarlight @yinyuedijun -> u where in my replies so i hope its okay to tag u here
Tumblr media
OKAY SO ME AND FANG HAVE VERY INTERWOVEN SELF INSERT LORE AND MY SELF INSERT HAS MY IRL NAME SO I WONT BE POSTING IT HERE.
my self insert comes from the recently established state of california and was taken in by a family that established itself off the californian gold rush and later through cattle + sheep farming to work as a maid/nanny. she is mexican as her family lived in “california” when it used to be a part of mexico and stayed when it was purchased by the united states.
her father died in an accident in the stables he worked at and then her mother died by wasting away after entering a huge depression when her husband died. somewhere in this time her older brother went missing. she was sent to a loosely established and assembled orphanage when this formerly mentioned rich family took her and made her a maid to work for them and to play nanny to the rich family’s daughter.
this life was very hard as this was a white family essentially uprooting a 12 grieving mexican girl and putting her in this position where the man of the house creeped on her (watched her bathe/watched her dress/etc) and as did other members of the staff (this undeveloped) and the lady of the manor did what she could to defend my self insert but it even that becomes incredibly toxic and twisted.
these years are very complicated but this is where my self insert learns many skills as she tries her best to stay out of the house where the abuse happens the most - she learns how to make hunting traps and forage (This Is A Mouseka Tool That Will Help Us Later.) she also has a childhood best friend named romeo who later on develops feelings for her and also becomes a painter of admired skill.
it’s important that i tell you that this self insert is a very kind and timid young lady - learning to keep herself hidden from other’s eyes BUT she is also incredibly vindictive (This Is Another Mouseka Tool That Will Help Us Later) and she has a sense of morality that is a little skewed, “take from me i take from you” is the name of her game so when she meets fang’s self insert they quickly plot to rob the family she serves BLIND.
remember how she learned how to forage? basically she excels at plant based knowledge and due to the library she has access to due to being a maid she would read and memorize a lot of poisonous plants/spores and begins to concoct numerous poisons. it is her main way of fighting (she coats her knifes with it, she laces people’s food/cosmetics/drinks with it) my self insert does not fight fair and fights only to win.
both her and fang’s self insert slowly but surely begin to rob the family of money, antiques and even gold bit by bit until the family heads to blackwater in 1899 (my self insert is 21 by this point) around the time the vander lin gang is there (coincidence?….I THINK NOT)
the reason why this family went from being in california to being in blackwater is because of how the daughter my self insert played nanny for is getting engaged to a rich family in the state of connecticut (where the man of the rich family is originally from) AND this is where my self insert and fang’s plan to steal the last bit of money the family has which is the daughter’s dowry.
this is pulled of successfully though due to fang’s own criminal shenanigans the do get SOME of the pinkerton’s attention which sets us off to go into the mountains inadvertently following the trail of the vander lin gang and coming into an alliance with them.
somewhere along the time she is spends working for this family she gets her horse -> a kiger mustang named artorius
IM SORRY FOR YAPPING ALL THIS TIME NOW ITS TIME FOR JAVIERLAMB
javierlamb is essentially love at first for both of them and they both fit into what it is they have been missing for the longest time. for javier it’s finding a sense of belonging in the world and for my self insert is finding a sense of safety in the world that for the most part has robbed her of identity and agency. their relationship is mostly smooth until chapter 6 where there are
TWO ENDINGS as by chapter 6 my self insert is pregnant and by the epilogue has a son. javier can either return to her side and they become a family -> this is the good ending.
OR javier abandons her completely following the collapse of the gang in chapter six and flees to mexico to follow the events of rdr1 -> this is the bad ending.
SONGS:
as pure as the driven snow -> off the a balland of songbirds and snakes soundtrack
and i loved her -> by kurt cobain
abrázame muy furete -> juan gabriel

i have a question! there's an interaction between abigail and uncle in the rdr2 epilogue, where they're talking about a client of abigails who tried to walk out without paying her. her response to uncle is that it "must have been ten years ago" (aka when jack would have been 2 years old). do you think that statement can be attributed to abigail being an unreliable narrator, or do you think there could have been a brief period where abigail returned to sex work after jack was born/while John was gone?
I wrote about it here! Short answer is it's wrong. She mentioned not leaving camp much at all since Jack was born. If she could leave so easily, she would have done so because she talks about not feeling useful. She would not have been allowed to have worked outside of camp. You cannot set up in camp; you would have had to spend money to rent out a room per hour per night and pay for a bouncer. Plus, with the Van der Linde gang moving at any moment's notice, it would be difficult to find her. Additionally, who would care for Jack? If someone could care for Jack, then she would have left camp herself quite often. NOW, I will say that 1. Rockstar ran out of time and money with the epilogue. I will have to find the exact articles, but basically, everyone in the fandom for years has known that it's very choppy and not what it's meant to be. John going to Mexico and them leaving that sort in as well as Arthur being in New Austin, are two signs of this. John's RDR 1 appearance was also found in the original files. Polygon, the gaming magazine, had a good article about it. Abigail is meant to have left camp, and I've posted audio files about it. You could have gone on missions with her, and she talks about having her own gun, her own horse, and going and coming back from missions, so she was meant to do more. This is the main story, NOT the epilogue. Additionally, in the sex work hierarchy, she would have had to be at the bottom. She was a mother, and as sexist as it sounds - men did not want to sleep with mothers because of the way a person's body changes after pregnancy. There were pecking orders in sex work, whether it was a saloon, a crib, or a traditional brothel. They would have had to fight for terf each and every night. Otherwise, she would have been at the same level as Edith in chapter 6, and that is something that would not be allowed to happen. Essentially, having Abigail or any of the girls do sex work would have been dangerous, losing them money, and they would not logistically have a way or place to work. That's one of many reasons why Grimshaw trying to force Abigail and only Abigail back into sex work is so disgusting - because she knows all of this and the harm that girls at this time struggled with. Abigail's comments show that there were humorous moments, but Abigail is in a safer space here. In the entire game, she talks about how ashamed she was and how she wants to be a proper woman. She talks about it in the epilogue, too. Uncle is the one who brought her into the gang, so she has that rapport with him more than anyone else. I believe the story is possibly real, but the timeline is all off. It's late as heck here, so I'll probably edit this tomorrow for clarity, but yes. The better meta is above.

Hello! I just read strange visitor and was wondering if you are planning on making more supernatural fics in the future? It was very interesting and I love how you delve into the horror aspects and anxiety of the character going through. Reminds me of those found footage alien movie documentaries or the fourth kind.
I didn't realize there's alot of supernatural things in rdr2 and wondering if anyone explored them yet. Alien abduction and pregnancy made so much sense. Felt like I wasn't reading chapters but watching "episodes" in my head, it was that good. It felt like x files a Lil. Just exploring the oddity in rdr2.
Keep up the good works. It was such a strange fic yet so interesting. You take care.
AAWW THANK YOU ANON!!! That's so very kind and I appreciate the kind words so much!!! And YEP there are scenes of SV inspired by The Fourth Kind for sure hahaha
And yes again! I do have other supernatural story ideas floating around in my head. And don't worry, they're just as if not more weird than SV. I figure I can have my little corner of ao3 where I toss Boys into Situations Of Existential Dread from time to time. For fun. As of right now I have.... uhhh.. probably 25ish other fic ideas. But you know how it goes; either they all want to get written at once or none of them do. But if I were you, I'd keep my eyes peeled for some shenanigans.
