Baby Mine

It's been 2 years since I posted my first fic in the Newsies Fandom. This is a thank you for everyone who has read, liked, commented, sent me an ask, etc. Your support means the world to me!

Standing outside the hospital, he tapped his feet waiting. Looking at his watch, he sighed. He shouldn’t be surprised his brother was late. But then again it was Spot. 

“Jackie boy!” Whipping his head around, he spotted his brother, brother-in-law, and a small child in Spot’s arms as they hurried up the hill, towards where he stood. “Sorry we’re late!”

“Uh huh, about time you get here. Not like it’s an important day or anything.” Jack teased, pulling the child into his arms, running his hand through her hair before pressing a kissing to her cheek. “Hi baby. Did you have fun with your uncles?” 

Nodding her head up and down, she grinned brightly. “Ya daddy. Unkle ‘Pottie funny.” 

“What about me?” Race squaked, reaching out and tickling his niece’s stomach, a string of giggles rang out. 

She gave him a look, pointing a finger at him. “You funny too! No tickles.” 

Jack looked at the two men, a smile on his face. “Thank you two for watching her. Do you want to come up?” 

“We should let you two introduce them first.” Spot gave his older brother a grin. “We can wait to meet the baby.” 

Race pouted, giving the two men a look. “I wanna meet the newest Kelly baby.” 

“Come on up with us.” Jack gave Spot and Race a look as Race started bouncing on his toes in excitement. 

“Go see my baby?” Maggie looked between her uncles and father as Jack nodded. “Let go!” 

Magnolia Anne Kelly was two years old and the apple of her parents’ eyes. Maggie had her uncles wrapped around her finger and they would do anything for her. Though she was sassy like her mom, she had her dad’s streak of getting into trouble and his grin to get her out of it. 

The three laugh as they walk into the hospital, heading towards the elevators, taking them up to the 9th floor. “How’s momma doing?” 

“She’s a warrior - strong as hell and doing really well.” Jack grinned, watching the numbers climb higher. “When I left, she was trying to sleep while the baby was being tested for a few things.” 

The elevator dinged as they got to the 9th floor, Race and Spot following behind Jack and Maggie. Walking down the hallway, Jack knocked softly on the door before pushing it open. “Kat, I brought visitors.” 

A groan was all he heard, as he stepped up to the bed, motioning for Spot and Race to hang back. Peaking open an eye, she gave her husband and daughter a look. “Mags, hi baby. Come see me.” 

Jack lowered the 2 year old onto the bed as she curled up to Kat’s side. “Hi momma. Baby?” 

Kat chuckled, watching Maggie look around the room, obviously looking for the newborn. “Your baby is getting some tests done. The baby will be back here soon so you can meet them. Hi Spot, hi Racer.” 

“Hi Kat. Sorry that we just barged in.” Spot apologized as he looked at his sister-in-law. 

Kat chuckled. “No worries. You were bound to meet the newest member sooner rather than later.” 

The door opened, a nurse peeking her head in, a tightly wrapped burrito baby in her arms. “We had to prick his heel for a blood sample and he didn’t even stir.” 

“That’s my boy.” Jack grinned, as the nurse transferred the baby over to his arms. 

Maggie’s eyes went wide, looking at the baby in her dad’s arms. “My baby?” 

“This is your baby, Maggie.” Jack sat on the edge of the bed, as she looked over at him and the baby he held in his arms. 

She gently ran her hand over her baby brother’s face, watching him pucker his lips before he settled down. “Name momma?” 

Kat locked eyes with Jack as he shrugged. “Either one that we picked sounds good to me.” 

She looked at Maggie, smiling at her daughter. “Magnolia, this is Daniel Joshua Kelly, your brother.” 

“Dan.” Maggie tested the name on her lips as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Hi Dan.” 

Kat reached up and wiped away the stray tears that got away from her eyes as she looked over at her husband. “Love you Kelly.” 

“Love you too Kat.” He sat at the edge of the bed, pulling Maggie on his lap as he threw an arm around Kat’s shoulder. 

Their little bubble was busted by a sniffle from the other side of the room. Kat looked up and smirked, seeing Race wipe the moisture from his eyes as he leaned into Spot’s side. “Spottie, they’re such a great family. I’m just so happy for you guys.” 

“Do you want to hold him?” Kat asked, raising an eyebrow at her brother-in-law. 

Race’s eyes went wide, nodding wildly as Spot pushed him into a chair, before crossed the room, stopping at the edge of the bed, leaning over and kissing his sister-in-law’s cheek. “He’s handsome, Kat. Can I borrow him for a minute?” 

Handing her newborn son over, Kat watched Spot walk across the room, gently handing him to Race. They heard the gasp from Race as he adjusted Daniel in his arms. “Oh man, you two make cute kids.” 

“Thanks . . . I think.” Jack tilted his head, looking over at Race, not really knowing if it was a compliment or not. 

Spot smirked, looking at his younger brother. “Take it as a compliment.” 

Maggie scooted over to the edge of the bed, giving her father a look as he helped her down before she skipped over to where Spot and Racer sat. Looking between the two men, she wiggled her way up to sit on Race’s other leg. She leaned down to Daniel’s ear, whispering to him as Spot smirked at the couple. “Not even five hours old and they’re already swapping secrets about you two. You’re in for a world of trouble with these two.”

“We wouldn’t have it any other way.” Kat smirked, leaning back in Jack’s embrace, the day finally catching up with her. A yawn escaped her mouth as Jack looked in her direction. 

“Go to sleep, Kat. I think you’ve earned yourself a nap.” Jack pressed a kiss to her forehead.

Giving him a side eye, her eyes fluttered as she attempted to get comfortable in the bed. “Damn right skippy. If the nurse comes back while I’m asleep, will you get me a Coke and something to eat?” 

“Anything in particular?” 

“Steak, lobster, I don’t care. Just something good.” She cracked an eye open, giving him a grin. “Love you Jack and thank you.” 

Raising an eyebrow, he was confused by the praises. “For what?”

“Being there and not taking anything to heart that I threatened you with.” She leaned up, giving him a kiss before setting down again, her eyes closing for real this time.

Pressing a kiss to her forehead, his voice dropped to a whisper. “Thank you for making me the happiest man alive - a daughter was enough but now we have a son too. Love you Katherine.” 

Turning away from Kat, he smirked watching his brother and brother-in-law interact with his two children. It was hard to believe that Daniel was finally here. They had opted not to find out what they were having, more focused on preparing Maggie for the big shift they were about to step into. 

As he watched his family interact with his daughter and son, his heart grew. Pressing a kiss to Kat’s forehead he sighed, happiness flowed around him and he was thankful that all was safe, sound, and content for the moment. 

“Uhhh Jack, I think it’s time you take over daddy duties.” Race’s concerned voice broke through his thoughts. 

And Jack wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Feedback would be amazing. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

When my character crush gets a relationship written in:

Me: I should be happy for them, they look so happy

Also me: Why are you doing this to me?!

[triple-u-vvv]

This is the first page of the prologue!

I will admit, the first pages of the book are kind of slow. I wanted to give representation to some of the newsies Jrs. characters. I usually don’t like writing prologues because I want to get into the action right away, but I felt like it would be necessary here in order to establish the conflict and the main antagonist, as well as the setting and tone of the book.

Authors footnote: the prologue is usually disconnected from the main story, but helps with things like worldbuilding and establishing mood and tone, as well as revealing the conflict.

Also, tumblr ruined the quality

[newmsies]

if there's one thing i know I'm good at that will get the slightest bit of attention. It's writing angsttt

woooooo

[willowistic22]

In case any of you were wondering, cacti can and do sway in the wind 🌵

[dreamingonmyown]

what fandom does the best fan fiction you’ve ever read belong too?? for science.

[running-tweezers]

okay wait tell me about fan?? fiction?? fuck?? because I’m so amused by all these questions marks I love it

-Lexi Sun ☀️

lol I was hoping someone would ask me about that one. Believe it or not, that is actually the DAMN crew DnD fic I’m actively working on rn.

I started listening and really falling in love with Redacted a little over a year ago, and within a few months of being hooked I had the idea to write this fic. At that point I was writing a lot of original stuff just for myself and some friends, but had not written fanfiction in earnest since around 2015. (it was Newsies fanfic. A peek into my fandom past lol)

So with a bit of prodding and encouragement from friends, I decided to actually start writing it despite being terrified. So “Fan?? Fiction?? Fuck??” is just a reflection of my state of mind at the time of making the document.

It sat unfinished for a LONG time, but I’m starting to work on it again! It’s still pretty rough, too rough for a real snippet, I will give a few of my thoughts about them playing DnD that will be included ~

- Freelancer is the table’s agent of chaos. The type of player that does dumb shit for the sake of “being in character”

- Lasko is DMing for the first time, and is OVERprepared out of anxiety (Same, relatable content)

- Gavin is playing a bard

- Huxley gets shockingly into the rp aspect as long as he can play off someone else at the table

- Damien is going to win D&D. He doesn’t care that that isn’t possible. He’s going to win.

can someone recommend me more sprace fics please...

[emmedoesntdomath]

guess who found it in her to make a delanceys part three

HAHA

I WAS GOING THROUGH OLD NOTES I MADE ABOUT RESEARCHING OLD FAMILIES OF THE UNITED STATES AND WE’RE BACK ON OUR HISTORY RANTS BABEYYYYYYY

so! I’ve seen a couple posts giving ideas and headcanons about the delanceys’ backgrounds and ethnicities, and I myself have made TWO separate posts about their background, specifically relating to their father, familial income, and status in comparison to the newsies, but I’ve never explored their ethnicities/actual family history beyond immediate (partially because I had no historical basis, partially because I didn’t care). BUT. BUT. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT WE WADE INTO THESE WATERS, ARMED WITH NOTHING BUT OLD EMME NOTES, NEW INFORMATION FOUND ABOUT AN HOUR AGO, AND SHEER AUDACITY. YOU’RE WELCOME. 

to begin this expedition, we must start with a lil’ crash course of american history. or, pre-american history. 

fun fact- new york city actually predates the establishing of the united states! it was originally dubbed new amsterdam by the dutch, and was a city created purely for the flourishing economy and selling of goods. run by and for the dutch company, it slowly became a metropolitan hub of commerce with incredible diversity of languages and peoples. the british took control in 1664, renaming it new york, and turning it into an autocratic province. corrupt governors would routinely reward their favorites and give them land and influence. examples of these favorites include the jays (including the future founding father, john jay), the livingstons (who, for my hamilton fans, were related to the schuyler family, and who would one day host an alexander hamilton whilst he served as an aide de camp to washington), and, funnily enough, the de lanceys.   

right now you might be thinking, emme. what? their name isn’t even the same. and to that I respond, oh, yes, you’re correct- history has never changed a name through multiple generations EVER. don’t use any other major family as an example. clearly, they don’t count. or, or, emme, these are fictional characters, this was probably coincidental. mayhaps. but. isn’t it a little funny? isn’t it a little interesting that a show based so much in history chose that name? I think so. here’s a little more backstory. 

the de lancey family is/was originally from southeast england, and from the very beginning, they were well off. money, land, the works. then, when times got awkward in the good, ol’ land of the queen (ie. religious tensions), the de lanceys peaced out, and migrated to the new world. and, again, you’re probably doubting me, like, emme, you can’t just say they were there when you want them to be there. actually, I can.  

we know from censuses that there were de lanceys in the new york area beginning in 1740, with stephen delancey (HA. SEE? THE NAME CHANGED)(look em up, he’s important to this story)- whose descendants would retain his influence. 

the lovely little british colony becomes the united states of america in 1776, and the delanceys are proud patriots in the american revolutionary war, producing an american general by the name of oliver delancey, who was the great-nephew of our friend stephen delancey (and cousin to stephen’s kid, the 28th and 30th governor of virginia back when it was just a colony. still think this is a coincidence?). he had a kid also named oliver delancey, and from there, there was another couple generations of US soldiers. and then, after roughly 1800-1825, the delanceys just kind of…disappeared. poof. 

now, does this mean the family didn’t exist? no, absolutely not. they just disappeared from that higher class and state of influence. in fact, you can still find large amounts of delancey descendants in north america today. 

but to my point, we can say our delanceys disappeared around…1815. that gives us, what, roughly three, four generations before we hit 1899? and if our delanceys are maybe 17-20, then let’s go with three. that still leaves PLENTY of leg room for a father that works the trolleys and two kids who turn to their uncle for grunt work to make an extra buck or two. and- ta da! the history of the delanceys. surprisingly more complex and long that one might anticipate.

Seriously, if you’re writing canon era Newsies fan fiction, Gay New York by George Chauncey should ABSOLUTELY be required reading
