!!! Mentions of rape!!!
Cora's POV
'Mummy, I'm tired' Flo says rubbing her eyes
'Put her in Ada's old room' John says
'Are you sure? I can easily just put her to sleep on the couch' I say
'Don't be silly' John says
'Mummy' Flo says tiredly
'Yes sweetheart' I say
'I want Finn to put me to bed' Flo says
Since being here Flo and Finn have bounded a lot I think she loves Finn more than me to be honest
'Please mummy' Flo says
'I'll take her' Finn says
Finn comes over to get Flo and Flo practically jumps out of my arms so Finn can pick her up. Finn takes Flo upstairs to put her to bed
'She's a beautiful little girl Cora. She's your double' Polly says smiling
'Thank you' I say smiling
'I've broken up with Lizzie' Tommy says
'Tom, I'm sorry shouting that out' I say looking at my hands
'No don't apologise' Tommy says
'It just slipped out to be fair. I was just so angry about the fact Lizzie Stark out of all the people was judging me' I say
'Yeah, she had no right to judge you like that what happened to you was not your fault' Ada says
'What happened with him by the way?' I say curiously
'Well, after we paid him a visit he tried to say that he didn't do anything but we didn't believe him and we dealt with him so he wouldn't be bothering you again' Arthur says
'Flo's been asking where her dad is' I say
'You're that little girl's mum and dad' John says
'Sometimes, I feel like I'm not enough for her because there's all these family with both a mum and dad and then there's just me' I say with tears in my eyes
'You have raised that little girl by yourself for the past 5 years of your life and you've done an amazing job! You don't need a man to do anything' Ada says
'You could've put her up for adoption but you didn't' John says
'Don't be ashamed for not having a partner to raise Flo you're an independent woman' Polly says
'My family back in Scotland were trying to set me up with men but they would always leave when they found out I had a daughter out of wedlock' I say
'Do you want a partner?' Tommy says
'In some sense I do but in other ways I don't' I say
'I'm the same girl don't worry' Ada says
'Where's Finn?' I say just realising that he hasn't came back down from putting Flo down for a nap
'I'll go check on them' I say getting up
I walk up the stairs and I head to Ada's old room to see Finn asleep with Flo asleep on his chest.
I close the door to leave them asleep. I walk down the stairs
'They're both asleep. Flo's sleeping on Finn's chest' I say smiling
'He'll make a great dad someday' Ada says smiling
'Not yet though' Poll says
'I have an idea' Arthur says
'What is it?' I say
'How about you and Tommy get married?' Arthur says making John spit out his water and the water going all over Ada
'John! You got that all over me' Ada says drying herself
'Sorry' John says smirking
'How does it sound?' Arthur says
'I'm up for it' Tommy says looking at me
I think about it for a second before my decision
'Sure, why not?' I say smiling and everyone cheers
