Everyone talks about Dad Rafe in the JJ years, but I've never seen anything about Dad John B, which I think is absurd because John B would be a great father, and he was the only one who showed interest in children in the series.
see john b is my man and for that reason here’s a run down of john b and blueberry’s future family
so john b is a lover boy at heart so they get married pretty young at like 20. they waited to have kids though, so they had their first kid at like 28. he wanted them way earlier but blueberry wanted to wait because kids are forever.
so they only have two kids. their first was a boy, and he’s like those adorable, picture perfect kids you see online. they named him andrew, and he’s actually really similar to blueberry. he plays the drums and he’s in a band with jjs kids. he’s not as heavy on the art front but in terms of music he’s really similar to his mom.
their second is a girl and they named her olive. she’s really similar to john b. she’s a very logical thinker, but she’s adventurous and loves the outdoors. she’s sort of a loner and doesn’t have a ton of friends.
john b and blueberry are probably the best parents out of the group outside of pope and orange. they actually have like structures and rules for their kids. there’s no good cop bad cop they’re a united front. they don’t have to punish olive a lot she’s a good kid but andrew is a little bit of a trouble maker, especially when he was a kid.
they’re honestly incredibly good at knowing when their kids get up to shit though because of all the bad stuff they did as teenagers. like there’s no shot your lying about where you were last night they already know.
little maybank being attached to her dad but wants to have a sleepover with john b and sarah so they stay the night at her house and make forts with her
🥺🥺 uncle bee and auntie Sarah building forts w her!!!
baby maybanks favorite candy being gummy worms and little routledge always picking out them when his dad lets him get candy at the store so he can share with her
jj deff goes to john b and tells him about their kids sneaking around together how do you think jb reacts
It starts off maybe with a bit of denial, for JJ's sake in his eyes, there's no way his boy is seeing JJ's daughter that's absurd. But then he takes a minute and thinks about how similar his son is to him...
"Naahhh... He wouldn't - I mean... There's no way - Oh my God, SARAH -"
I feel like they'd both be cool with it though once the initial shock has worn off. They're best friends, their kids have been too, they probably should've seen this coming 😂
𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭: “ teen pregnant reader + jb + just how he would react/handle it with his dad gone and being threatened by dcs etc ”
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: teen pregnancy, assumed unprotected sex
𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒆: i did this more in a head cannon format and i hope this is ok??? don’t be a fool, wrap your tool. i hope y’all enjoy!!!
so, it all started from one drunken night at the boneyard. Y/N and John B had been dating for a few months and the two were enjoying the night away. they both danced and had too many stops at the keg before they both ended back up at the Chateau.
everything got heated pretty quickly--she was almost sure she heard Kie banging on the door yelling, “can you both shut up? people are here!”
the next morning, they both woke up with an awful headache. Y/N take care of him, he takes care of Y/N. The Pogues make fun of her and John B all morning for how loud they both were.
either way, life for John B didn’t get any easier. DCS was getting on John B’s ass. Y/N was trying her best to find loopholes for her boyfriend so he won’t get taken away.
She’s also convinced that his father isn’t dead and is willing to do anything to find his dad.
Well, things got interested the day that Y/N realized she had missed her period three weeks after she was supposed to get it. look, she was stressed trying to help John B make up excuses and trying to contact his uncle.
Kie bought her pregnancy tests, let’s be honest. they would both wait in the store bathroom as she took her test. Kie was trying to crack jokes to lighten the mood--reminding her of stupid stories that John B took part in before Y/N and him were together.
They made her laugh
But once her laughter stopped--Kie knew.
Y/N was pregnant and there was no doubt it was John B Routledge’s kid.
Y/N wasn’t really sure what to think, she’s only in high school and everything sent her in a panic. She wasn’t quite sure how her boyfriend would react or even if it would be smart to tell him?
Kie convinces her to tell him immediately, despite his situation.
When Y/N told John B his reaction was along the lines of, “I’m looking for my dad--I’m not looking to be a dad!”
She wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
She ended up crying
The way John B would actually process things would...would be chaotic.
JJ would be no help whatsoever with actually any decent advice, only to make the situation lighter with a bunch of jokes and jabs.
Pope would be scared shitless for John B--not helping his anxiety. But also I have the feeling that Pope would try to find resources or come up with any information about pregnancy?
Kie would be the better voice of reason here. She would be very sympathetic towards Y/N and John B’s situation. I could imagine her just helping him relax, along with Y/N.
Back to John B, it would take a bit for everything to settle. It somehow would be on the forefront of his mind, but also on the back burner?
One moment, he wants to find his dad
Next moment, Y/N and him would be trying to talk about what to do
But surprise! An agent shows up and somehow John B and Y/N buy him more time.
Then it would go back to talking about what exactly to do with the kid.
He would love to be a dad, but he is unsure if this is a good time, y’know, for multiple reasons.
But with Y/N being pregnant, John B would be way more protective over her.
his arm would always be wrapped around her
he wouldn’t let her pick anything up that’s too heavy
he would make sure Y/N is comfortable while being on the boat and making sure no one drives like a fucking idiot when she’s on board.
Y/N spent less nights partying and John B stayed back with her.
I can imagine nights where the two would relax in the hammock, Y/N laying in between his legs and they just sway back and forth.
John B stands up for her when Rafe & Topper ridicule her and shame them.
It ends up in a bad fight
But JJ will do anything to punch Rafe Cameron and Topper Thornton, let’s be honest.
At the end of the day, Y/N knew she had a family at home to help her with her pregnancy, possibly taking in John B.
Plus, they had the Pogues and no one would let any one suffer. They are ride or dies and obviously they’re riding all the way.
