You had just moved to Avonlea in the hopes to give your one-year old child a better home. You were pregnant at a very unusual age, you don’t like to talk about the father since he left you as soon as he found out that you were pregnant. He tricked you into sleeping with him and broke your heart once you were pregnant, it made you wonder if he ever loved you.
The only good thing about your past was your one-year old child: Lily. You had named her after the first flower you saw on your trip to Avonlea. You were very conflicted about her name, but you had found the perfect name for her. “A new start, a new life!” – you thought as you held her in your arms.
You parents were ashamed of you and had thrown you out of the house once they found out about Lily. You really didn’t care since they never really cared for you. You wanted to continue your education, but you could never take Lily with you. You had heard from some people that you could hire a nanny and so you did.
You hired a nanny to look after Lily as you are going to school. Sometimes you missed the presence of a man in your life but then you remembered the tragedy of your child’s father that you were glad he wasn’t around. The two of you were happy and were perfectly fine on your own.
You were preparing the final details for the nanny to look after Lily. – “If she cries you have you to give her this.” – you handed her a little toy. You then started to run around the room searching for all sort of things to give her. – “Don’t forget to feed her every three hours!” – you heard Lily squeal as she was sitting on the ground, underneath a blanket.
“Oh, sweetheart” – you said soft as you picked her up. – “Mommy is going to miss you too.” – you kissed her little hands soft as you nearly started to cry, it was the first day in months that you had to leave her alone. You gave Lily to the nanny as you had to go to school. – “Be a sweet girl…” – you kissed her forehead as she started to reach out to you with her little hands.
You swallowed deep as you had to leave her, - “I’m going to miss you so much!” – you whispered at her as you kissed her little hands again. You then took a deep breath and made your way outside, as soon as you left Lily started to cry soft, knowing that you were leaving her.
You heard her cry as you closed the door behind her, for a moment you thought about running back inside and forget about going to school but you couldn’t. you had to think about your future, your education was going to help you a lot in the future and Lily as well. You bit your underlip as you tried to hold back your tears. – “I’m sorry…” – you whispered as you grabbed your necklace in your hand that had her name on it.
You kissed it brief as you felt your heart break for leaving her alone, for so long. You took a deep breath and tucked it away for no one to see. – “First day of school, here I come!” – you said proud as you started to walk towards the woods.
The whole time you were walking towards school you tried to think of Lily as little as possible, knowing that you would cry your eyes out. – “You are going to have a great time and when you get home Lily will be waiting for you!” – you said to yourself to encourage yourself. You noticed you were close as you saw several children of your age walk in the same direction.
You paused for a moment as you saw the school building, several children were playing outside. Some boys were throwing a ball at each other as some girls were walking together and giggling alongside each other. You took a deep breath and made your way in.
The teacher was already setting some things ups as she noticed you. – “Ah, you must be Y/n?” – you nodded shy as she signalled for you to come closer. You walked over to her and she placed her arm around your shoulder. – “Now, Y/n you will be sitting over here.” – she leaded you to an empty seat, you seated yourself already down as she smiled soft. – “You can play outside for a few moments if you like?” – “can I stay inside, please just for the first day?” – you asked her as you felt quite nervous.
Miss Stacy nodded soft and made her way over back to her desk to continue preparing as you looked around the classroom, admiring the looks of it. Suddenly a boy walked in and walked straight to Miss Stacy. – “Miss Stacy, I wanted to ask you something…” – he paused halfway as he noticed you sitting down. He frowned and walked over to you. – “Good morning are you new here?” – you looked up and met up with his hazel brown eyes.
You nodded shy as he started to smile soft. – “Gilbert Blythe, and you are?” – he extended his hand to you and you shook it happily. – “Nice to meet you Gilbert, I’m Y/n!” – he smiled soft as he looked at you. – “A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” – you started to blush soft at his remark as he left your desk again and walked over to Miss Stacy.
Soon all the other students walked in and all frowned at you as they had never seen you before. They started to whisper at each other as you tried to ignore their staring. Grabbing your hidden necklace gave you the strength to keep going. Gilbert had noticed you grab for something hidden around your neck and found it cute that you did something like that.
“Who the hell are you!” – a blond girl said as she slammed her hands against your desk, startling you for a few seconds. – “Y/… Y/n.” – you stuttered short as she kept glaring at you. – “Josie Pye remember the name as I rule this school!” – she moved her head closer to you as you backed away, swallowing soft. – “I know everything and if you ever cross me, well…” – she gave you a devious smirk as she pulled her hands of your desk.
You breathed again as she walked back to her desk. She was someone you didn’t want to piss off. During class Gilbert kept looking at you as you were all standing around Miss Stacey her desk. You were standing on the right of him with several people in between, Gilbert moved his head more to the front to look at you. You had noticed it and looked shy back, you weren’t the only one since Josie had also seen it and threw some dagger looks at you.
During lunch Josie’s jealous kept progressing as Gilbert walked shy in your direction. – “Can I sit with you, Y/n?” – he asked you shy as he looked at the ground. You said a soft yes as Gilbert seated himself down next to you. He then reached into his basket to grab something. – “Would you like an apple? there from my Orchard.” – you nodded soft as you took the apple from him, your hands touched and both of you started to blush.
You tasted the apple and was surprised by the sweet taste of it. – “This is really good!” – you said between your bites. Gilbert smiled sheepishly as he felt himself fall for you. The two of you kept talking about anything and everything. You told him almost everything, you kept Lily a secret to him since you really started to like him, and you didn’t want to scare him away.
“You know Y/n that subtle thing you did when you grabbed… I think a necklace, or something is really sweet.” – you gasped soft as he had recognized your subtle move. He noticed you felt shy about it and apologized. – “I didn’t mean to upset you… I just thought it was cute…” – Gilbert bit his underlip soft as he felt nervous for asking. – “It’s alright…” – you replied shy as you placed your hand on his shoulder.
Josie who was sitting further away with Ruby, Prissy and Jane kept glaring at the two of you. – “That little tramp is here one day and already get’s her dirty hands on Gilbert!” – Ruby whined soft as she felt her heart break, since she liked him. – “Don’t worry Ruby, I’ll teach her a lesson! There has to be something about her that I can use to mock her!” – Josie had wrapped her arm around Ruby who kept whining like a little child.
As school ended you said goodbye to the people that you had befriended today as you were glad to see Lily again. Little did you know that Josie intended to follow you home, - “Where are you going?” – Jane would call out as Josie followed you, Josie turned around and gave Jane some cold dagger looks for almost exposing her intentions. Jane immediately stopped talking and walked over to Prissy and Billy to walk home with her siblings.
Josie kept following as she moved from tree to tree, hiding out for you. She was determined to find a dirty secret about you and expose it to the others. You kept walking without your knowledge of Josie following you, you took your necklace from it’s tucked position as you kissed it soft again. – “Just hold on for a few more moments, Lily mommy is almost home…” – you said soft as you continued walking.
Josie pretended to vomit as she saw you kiss some necklace and say some unknown words. – “She’s so weird!” – she said to herself as she kept following you. You ran to the front door as you were on your property. You swung open the door and took Lily in your arms from the nanny. – “I’ve missed you so much…” – you said as you took her little hand, her fingers wrapped tight around your finger as she squealed happy that you were here.
Josie had sneaked up to the window and tried to look inside, she saw you kissing a child as a grown up started to put on her coat. She noticed the person was heading for the door, so she ducked away but still close by. – “She was a sweet girl, Miss Y/L/n!” – the nanny said as you stood in the door opening with Lily in your hands. – “Tomorrow same time?” – you asked her as she nodded soft. – “You have a beautiful baby, she is so kind and has a heart of gold.” – the nanny said before walking away.
“Hear that Lily, she thinks your wonderful, but mommy already knew that!” – you gave her soft kisses at her belly as she started to laugh sweet. Josie gasped for a moment as she couldn’t believe her ears that you had a child, her shocked face turned in seconds into a devious one as she had found the perfect way to mock you. – “That’s what you get for flirting with Gilbert!” - she said between her teeth as she watched you walk in again.
The next morning you said again goodbye to Lily as you made your way back to school. You were hoping to see Gilbert again as you felt yourself drawn to him, he was different than other boys you’ve met and certainly not someone like the father of your child. You walked into the class smiling but soon stopped as everyone looked at you.
“If it isn’t Y/n or should I say mother of a little baby!” – everyone gasped as they couldn’t believe it. – “Y/n is a mother?” – Ruby asked her confused. – “Yes, I saw her yesterday with her child, I knew Y/n was a little tramp and look at this!” – Josie laughed hard as some students kept staring at you or your stomach finding it hard it process that you have a child.
Josie got almost everyone to laugh with her as she kept mocking you for having a baby at a younger age. You kept looking at everyone as they kept laughing at you, you then locked eyes with Gilbert who was looking at you but different than the others. He was looking at you as he wished you had told him before.
You couldn’t take it anymore, so you ran outside as tears started to stream down your face. – “I’m never going back!” – you shouted as you kept running away. Gilbert reacted in seconds as he saw you ran away, he clenched his teeth and gave everyone a piece of his mind as he had enough of their mocking. He then grabbed his coat and started to run after you, hoping to comfort you.
You kept running and crying as you felt like your events from the past repeated itself. You thought you could have a new life, but it fired back at you as now everyone was laughing about you being a young mother. You were thinking about leaving Avonlea again as you couldn’t handle the mockery and the taunting.
As soon as you got home you dismissed the nanny and took Lily in your arms. You fell to the ground and kept crying as you pulled her close to you. – “I’m sorry Lily… I’m sorry!” – you felt guilty for throwing away your future, but you couldn’t handle it anymore. Josie’s outing hit you hard as it felt like you were being punched in the heart. Lily kept squealing as she tried to comfort you, she felt that you were sad and wanted to cheer you up.
She touched your face soft with her little hands and you started to laugh soft between your tears. – “What would I do without you…” – you said soft as you kissed her forehead soft. You froze once you heard a knock on the door. You got up thinking maybe the nanny had forgotten something but as you opened the door with Lily in your hands you found Gilbert at your doorstep.
You freaked out and wanted to slam the door in his face before he could see Lily, but he slammed his hand against the door, preventing it from closing. – “Y/n wait… I’m not here to laugh at you!” – you stood hidden behind the door as Gilbert tried to open it further. – “I wanted to make sure that you were alright…”
“I’m fine so you can go now!” – you called out as you kept preventing him from opening the door further. – “Y/n can I please come in, I don’t mind that you have a child.” – Gilbert sighed deep as he ran his hand through his hand. – “Can I please come in! I want to make sure you are alright!” – you opened the door slowly as Gilbert could now see you and your child.
To your surprise reacted Gilbert to your child in a sweet way, he tickled her soft as he greeted her. – “Hello little one.” – you kept staring at the display as Gilbert than looked at you. – “What’s her name?” – “Lily.” – you replied as you leaded him inside. Inside you leaded him to the living room as Gilbert placed his arm around your back. – “Are you alright?” – you nodded soft and placed Lily on her blanket.
You then took his hand and seated him down next to you. – “Gilbert I’m so sorry, I …” – Gilbert stopped you as he smiled soft at you. – “you don’t have to apologize. Josie was wrong to out your secret like that!” – he started to get angry again as he thought about the events from earlier. “She had no right to do that and I don’t mind that you have a child, Lily is quite cute.”
Gilbert gave her a funny look as she started to squeal happy. You laughed soft at the kindness of Gilbert around Lily. You kept talking with him some more as suddenly Lily started to cry, you kneeled beside her and let your finger go over her arm. – “Your hungry aren’t you sweetie?” – Lily kept crying soft as you got up and made your way over to the kitchen but before you left the room you turned towards Gilbert.
“Do you mind watching her for a few moments, I have to prepare her bottle, but it won’t take long?” – Gilbert nodded as you left the room. Gilbert than placed himself on the ground next to Lily as he took her on his lap. – “No need to cry Lily” – he said to her in a sweet voice. – “Mommy is preparing diner.”- Lily started to stop crying as Gilbert held her in his arms, she wrapped her little fingers around his finger and Gilbert started to smile bright at her cuteness. – “You are just as cute as your mother.” – he whispered to her as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Lily then stopped crying and Gilbert placed her little feet on his lap as he held her tight around her waist. He started to make funny sounds as he lifted her not high in the air and placed her down on his lap again, still holding her.
Lily started to laugh as Gilbert kept moving her up and down while pressing his mouth against her tummy, making a ticklish feeling inside of her. You heard the sounds and decided to have a quick look, you stood in the door opening almost crying as Gilbert was playing so sweet with your child.
Gilbert had noticed you and stopped playing with Lily as he picked her up and made his way over to you. – “she’s a real sweetheart!” – Gilbert called out as he gave her an Eskimo kiss against her nose. – But so are you!” – Gilbert then placed a kiss against your cheek as you felt yourself blush.
Lily started to reach out for you as Gilbert handed her over to you, you took her and kissed her forehead soft. – “Y/n please don’t stop with school!” – Gilbert suddenly asked you as he kept stroking Lily’s arm. – “I liked it having you around and it would be a shame if you left because of Josie.”
“I want to stay but… the others…” – you replied shy as you sighed deep. – “I will gladly fight them of if they ever mock you or Lily again.” – Lily squealed again as you placed her better on your arm. – And…” – Gilbert suddenly looked shy and started to play with his sleeve. – “If … if I may … I would like to spend some more time with you and Lily?” – he lifted his head shy as you stared right into his hazel brown eyes.
“I would like that… very much.” – you said, and you only noticed you were crying as Gilbert wiped some tears away. Gilbert then kissed your sleep as he pulled you close, it was like Gilbert’s presence was what you were missing all those years and you weren’t ashamed to show him the real you with Lily.

It was now a week ago that Billy found out that you were pregnant with Gilbert’s child. You were glad he finally knew because you were drowning in the secrets, you were afraid Billy would freak out and hate you or something but, in the end, he ended up being supportive and caring.
You told Billy to keep it a secret for your parents until you were ready to tell them, not even jane or Prissy could know. You, Billy and Gilbert were the only ones who knew and you wanted to keep it like that. Billy was still the same overprotective brother that he was before you told him, in some way you thought it was cute how much effort he would put into you.
You other sisters noticed some changes in his behaviour as he constantly kept asking if you were alright or that you had any kind of pain. If they would ask you about it you would just tell them that it’s a typical Billy thing. You visited Gilbert more often as he enjoyed spending time with you and the unborn child.
Billy would sometimes come along to keep an eye out for you, Gilbert thought it was strange in the beginning but soon got used to it that Billy would always be there, even when you would just walk to school. You would walk hand in hand with Gilbert as Billy walked next you on the other side. Your stomach was growing everyday but you could still hide it away with your wide dresses.
Suddenly you felt dizzy and almost fell to your knees. Gilbert and Billy both reacted in seconds by pulling you up and supporting you. - “Y/n are you alright?” - Gilbert would ask you as he looked concerned at you. - “Sis, everything alright, tell me if you are having any pain?” - Billy would ask you at the same time. You shook your head soft as you pulled yourself up by supporting on them. - “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Billy felt your temperature as he held his hand against your forehead. - “Y/n you are feeling a bit warm?” - “Billy I’m fine...” - you replied as you pushed his hand away. Billy looked over at Gilbert. - “You should feel her, I’m telling you she is feeling warm?” - Gilbert placed the back of his hand against your forehead. - “Your right, she is feeling a bit warm.”
“What do we do?” - Billy asked him concerned as Gilbert thought deep. You sighed and let go of them, walking over to a big branch sitting down. They both tried to grab you as you went over to the branch but you shook them off. you seated yourself down and took some deep breaths. - “If you need me, I’ll be sitting down while the two of you bicker on about what to do.”
They both ignored your comment as they were too worried about what to do. - “Maybe we can bring her home?” - Gilbert asked Billy as he shook his head. - “Our parents are home and they would find it odd that Y/n is sick again.” - “Right.” - Gilbert replied as he scratched the back of his head. - “Bring her to school and constantly watch over her?” - Billy suggested as Gilbert slowly started to nod at his suggestion.
“I think that could work, we take shifts during class for looking at her and asking if she is fine...” - Gilbert started as Billy finished his sentence. - “And during Lunch we can both sit with her and make her as comfortable as she likes?” - you sighed from where you were sitting, you loved it that they cared about you but sometimes they could exaggerate.
“Your uncle and father are really something...” - you joked at your unborn child as you placed your hands around your bump. - “But they are really sweethearts.” you noticed Both Gilbert and Billy walking over to you, extending their hands to you. You took each hand and let them pull you up. - “Don’t worry Y/n we got it under control.” - Billy told you as he squeezed your hand soft.
Both Gilbert and Billy then placed a kiss against your cheek at the same time, Gilbert kissed your left cheek and Billy your right. - “if you boys are ready with smooching can we go to school then?” - you teased them as they both looked at each other, laughing soft. - “Sure love.” - Gilbert took your hand again and Billy tangled his arm around your other.
As you were walking closer to school you noticed several students looking over at you and whispering. You knew they were talking about your protective boys that looked like they were guarding the Queen of England or so. It made you feel like you were under a loop and everyone was taking turns to get a good look at you.
Both Gilbert and Billy ignored the others as they walked inside with you. You wanted to take of you coat but Billy stopped you and pulled your coat out, like you were a small child that couldn’t dress itself. - “Billy you know I can still undress myself!” - you gave him a look as he ignored you. Gilbert than leaded his hands to your scarf, taking it from your neck. you sighed again but it was no use.
Gilbert and Billy then placed their hands on your back as they leaded you to your seat. Prissy and Jane looked at you as they thought it was silly that Billy gave you so much attention. They even thought Gilbert was trying too hard. - “I’m telling you Jane, something is up with those three?” - Prissy whispered to her as she had her arms crossed looking over at you.
“I agree! Those three are definitely hiding something.” - Jane whispered back as she narrowed her eyes at you. You noticed your sisters looking over at you and you had a feeling they were getting tired of this sudden behaviour. - “Gil, Billy I appreciated it but I think you can leave me for a few moments?” - Both of them gave each other a confused look. - “Y/n we are just …" - “I know!” - you interrupted Gilbert. - “People are staring Gil...” - “let them!” - Gilbert was the one to interrupt you now.
You sighed as you placed your hand against your forehead. - “I’ll be fine just do what you normally do!” - you begged them as they kept standing overprotective next to you. - “Just a few moments, I'll be fine... I promise.” - they both sighed deep and nodded. - “Alright a few moments!” - Billy called out as he made his way over to Moody. Gilbert kept standing by your side a few moments longer but left as you gave him a look.
Billy motioned for Gilbert to come to him and Gilbert quickly ran over to him. - “We need to talk about Y/n’s future?” - Gilbert nodded as he looked brief over at you. - “Your right, she can’t stay at school. I won’t have the others make fun of her or scold at her!” - Billy nodded as he pulled Gilbert closer to him so only he could hear it. - “We need to come up with a plan? Y/n should be home-schooled maybe and what about you?”
“I’ll speed up my studies to provide for her!” - Gilbert replied soft as Billy patted his back. - “I’ll speed up my studies as well to help you out!” - Gilbert looked at Billy like he has never done before. - “Thank you, Billy you’re a good brother.” - Billy laughed soft as he placed his arm around Gilbert’s shoulders. - “And you are a good boyfriend and ….” - he looked suspicious around him as he came closer to Gilbert and whispered to him. - “Father.”
Gilbert smiled wide and pulled Billy close for a hug. Prissy and Jane each widened their eyes as they watched them hug. - “This is the top, Gilbert and Billy are hugging each other?” - Jane said soft as she looked confused at Prissy. Prissy bit her underlip angry as she turned around and walked over to you. - “Y/n what is going on with the three of you!” - She raised her eyebrow in her big sister way as you swallowed deep.
“There is nothing going on Prissy.” - you casually said as you tried to wave the subject away. - ”Y/n I know your lying to us!” - jane slammed her hands against the desk as she leaned angry against them. You jumped a bit back from the sudden outburst as Jane and Prissy kept glaring at you. - “Can we not do this here?” - you shout-whispered at them as you looked around suspicious.
“So, there is something going on?” - Prissy called out as she crossed her arms again. - “Prissy I’ll explain everything to you but not right now!” - you spitted between your teeth. Jane and Prissy both huffed. - “why can’t you tell us now? We are your sisters, or aren’t we?” - Jane spitted back as she slammed her hands against the table again.
“Enough!” - you shouted, slamming your hands against the table, startling everyone in class. - “I told you to be patient!” - you shouted as you started to crawl out of your seat. - “I have had enough of everyone thinking they can tell me what to do!” - you had removed yourself from your seat and wanted to leave but you felt a sudden pain in your stomach.
You grabbed your stomach as you fell to your knees, still holding a hand against the table. Billy and Gilbert had seen you fall to your knees and rushed as fast as they could to your side, pushing everyone aside that came swirling around you. - “Y/n!” - Gilbert shouted as he kneeled beside you and held his hand on your back.
Billy also kneeled beside you and tried to help you. - “Y/n! Tell me are you alright?” - you wanted to get up but felt another sting of pain go through your stomach. You screamed out of pain as you fell back to your knees. - “Y/n!” - Gilbert shouted as he started to breath quicker out of fear. Gilbert placed your arm around his shoulder as he wanted to support you. - “how did this happen?” - Billy asked you concerned as he kept holding your arm.
“She just got angry and collapsed...” - Jane called out, anxious that it might be their doing. - “We didn’t mean to upset her!” - Prissy added as Gilbert looked at both of them with disgust in his eyes. - “Are the two of you out of your mind!” - Billy shouted as they both jumped back a bit. You kept screaming out of pain as you held your hand around your stomach. - “Gilbert!” - you shouted as you squeezed your nails into his shirt. Fear struck his eyes as he only had to look brief at Billy and he understood what they needed to do.
Gilbert helped you to your feet and they both picked you up and leaded you outside. Prissy and Jane felt guilty so they followed the three of you outside. They ran to a secure place, far from the school building as they seated you down. You started to breath out in puffs as you tried to control the pain. - “Y/n tell me is the baby alright?” - Billy asked you as he ran his hands desperately through his hair.
“Baby?” - Jane and Prissy both called out as they rushed over to you. Billy widened his eyes as he saw his sister ran past him to kneel in front of you. - “Y/n what is Billy talking about?” - Prissy called out as she held her hands on your knees. - “I... I wanted to tell you but I never found the right time...” - you said between your puffs. Gilbert kept making circles on your back with his hand to calm you down.
“Tell us what?” - Jane called out as she squeezed your knee. - “That I'm pregnant.” - you said soft as you looked up at Gilbert. Gilbert nodded in approval that it was the right time for them to know. They both kept staring at you with an open mouth as Billy came closer again. - “Y/n are you feeling any better?” - you nodded soft. - “I just pushed myself to hard. The baby is fine just a stress outburst.” - you said soft as you took his hand and squeezed it.
“Does mother know?” - Prissy asked you curious as she felt a bit overwhelmed. - “No!” - You, Billy and Gilbert shouted at the same time. - “They can’t know... not yet.” - you finished as your sisters nodded soft. - “If mother knew she would kick Y/n out of the house and I don’t want that!” - Billy added as he gave them his brotherly look. - “You know Y/n if they should kick you out, you can always live with me?” - you gave Gilbert a kiss on his lips. - “I know that...” - you replied soft.
“Can … can I feel it?” - Prissy asked you as she moved her hand near your stomach. You looked back at Billy and Gilbert and they nodded soft that she could feel it. Prissy moved her hand to your stomach and her hand jumped a bit back as she felt your bump. She then placed it better and closed her eyes trying to feel the baby. - “Can I also feel?” - Jane asked you as she already had her hand near your stomach.
“Yes.” - you said soft and Jane also placed her hand next to Prissy’s against your stomach. They both looked at each other and laughed as they felt the baby. Gilbert moved his head closer to you as he kissed your forehead. - “I love you Y/n” - he whispered soft. - “I love you too.” - you replied as you looked at your sisters smiling bright.
Billy had also kneeled beside you and held your hand tight as he moved his hand to your stomach to feel the baby. You felt yourself almost cry at the sight of it, your siblings smiling bright as they felt your baby and Gilbert placing his arm around you as he kissed your sleep again.
