@itsmsfionag <3′d for a starter!
Debbie knew she was late. She hadn’t gotten her period and her mind was spinning with what she had done. She hadn’t been thinking, had wanted so badly to belong to Derek’s family in the same way that Tanya had been. She had been in love with Derek’s brother, she had gotten pregnant, the family had totally brought her in and accepted her. It was a healthy family, and everyone took care of each other. Debbie wanted a healthy family, she wanted to be accepted, wanted to be a part of something functional. She loved her siblings, but maybe she could have parents.
Sitting at the Gallagher kitchen table, the weight of what she had done was pressing down heavily on her shoulders. She couldn’t get ahold of Derek, she had taken a cheap test from the store, and her heart was hammering hard in her chest. When the door opens she is glad to be met with the sight of her older sister, of her family.
“Fiona, can I talk to you?”
