《1974 - A David Bowie Fanfic.》Problems.

Ros Chester POV.
The tear falls from my face and splashes on my hand that holds David's desperately.
I could barely believe what I was about to tell him. My heart thudded and I finally find the courage to tell him.
"I'm ." I breathe my last word, full of emotion.
I could see it all... His heart must be bursting open... Or did it smash...? Mine broke for him... him...!
"Jesus Christ..." He breathes and puts his hand over his mouth to hide the shock.
He finally takes a deep breath. "Who's the-" He starts.
"Yours." I say shortly. "I would never let Kevin touch me like that..." I trails off.
"Ros... A He breathes with a little smile.
"I'm almost 19 David..." I mutter. "And I'm carrying the most idolised man of the 70's child... I just don't know what to do..."
For once, David didn't know what to tell me... He was thinking it all through... He was 27, ...! If the press knew about this, his career would be forever gone... The career he worked so hard for...! And I could ruin that... Just because of a night in New York...
"What do you want to do with it?" He asks me cautiously.
"I don't know David, I'm only a month in...!" I snap which clearly surprises him. "I'm sorry..."
"It's ok, I understand..." He says soothingly.
"Do you?" I mumble. "How can you understand an 18 year old girl from South London who is carrying your child...?"
"Because Rosalind Chester, I'm in love with you." David says in his beautiful British accent.
I can't hide the feeling it gives me and I throw my arms around his neck and pull him close to me.
This is , I'm just some South London girl, how did this all happen...? Just over 6 months ago, David had no idea who I was, and I was just in my own world with his music. Now I his world, and everything in it, including David himself.

"Does Kevin know?" David says with a hint of spite.
"No. Because I know he'd ask whose it is..."
"Ros, I know I said I don't care about fame but-"
"Your secrets safe with me." I say shortly.
There's a silence for awhile, almost an awkward one. He wanted to keep this out of the public's eye. We didn't know what to say to each other...
"How long are you in Brixton for?" I purr.
"Depends."
"On what?" I ask puzzled.
"How long you need me for." He smiles his crooked smile that I missed so much and I can't help but smile back.
"You know I need you more than ever right now." I say honestly.
"I can't let him touch you again, not now that I know you have my child inside you... He shouldn't have even touched you in the first place..." David starts to babble angrily.
"Thanks for saving me... " I mutter and see his face soften and his angry lined mouth soon turns into a smirk. "And for punching him." I wink and he chuckles slightly.
"Someone had to do it." He sighs loudly. "But I'm serious Ros, he cannot come anywhere near you anymore."
"Then what? Bring up the child on my own?"
"I-" David starts but someone taps loudly on the door.
David sighs and goes to open the door, I suddenly hear a loud thud. I run into the hall way and see David holding his jaw crying in pain on the floor.
"" I screech horrified to see him hurt.
I run over to him and look up to see Kevin angry as a bull. David was barely conscious...
"David, can you hear me...?!" I try to ignore the fact Kevin is inches from me.

"Come on my love, " Kevin grabs my waist and pulls me from David.
I kick and scream loudly like a child, tears streaming down my face...
"I CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE!" I howl at Kev.
"Oh yes you can." He spits.
I wriggle out of his hold and run back to David, I lock the door behind me so Kev can't get in. He bangs hard with his fist against the door and I'm scared again... I reach for the phone and dial 3 numbers...
"Police?" I ask down the phone hurriedly.
"My boyfriend just attacked a man and I have my boyfriend outside banging at my door."
I listen to their reply and finally say a thank you. David wakes up and looks confused to me. "Ros..." He mumbles but I hush him.
"It's ok..." I tell him. "Let's get you onto the sofa." I put his arm around my small shoulders and drag him to the sofa I was lying on less than 10 minutes ago.
Kevin is still banging on the door, still scaring me. "I love you." He tells me putting his hand on my cheek.
"I love you too." I kiss his head and close the door to the living room.
I walk slowly down the hallway and open the door to see Kevin looking angry still. He picks me up again aggressively and I hold my breath.
"Kev," I say quietly but softly. "Put me down for a second..."
Unbelievably, he does as I ask, and puts me down on the pavement. I wipe my eyes and look up to him. I see his eyes turn warm, and for some odd reason ?
"Ros," He mutters.
In the distance I hear the police car. "I'm pregnant." I mutter smoothly, the more times I say it out loud, the more it becomes real... I see his warming eyes turn ice cold and full of anger.
"You little wh-" He raises his hand and I close my eyes preparing for the blow.
"STOP!" I open my eyes again and see the flashing blue lights outside of David's house and the police grabbing Kevin's arms, restraining him to even lay a finger on me.
"C'mon son, let's calm down, shall we?" The police say with a very London accent and Kevin is put in the back of the car. He looks longingly at me, and I can't help but feel the guilt creep over me...
"I'm so proud of you my darling." David whispers and wraps his arms around me and we watch the police take Kevin away. "I told you I'd get rid of all your problems..."
"We still have one more problem..." I turn around to him and look down at my stomach.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Mourners, Abednego, Persistence
Sebastio the Effulgent has been Lord of Pennat Gate for more than a hexadecade following the events of that day called the Western Sunrise. In the pyres that lament the many deaths of that tribulation, the place he has worked to turn into an asylum for the downtrodden has prospered. Some of the Yrdkish peerage, and some of those far removed from such status, disagree with Pennat Gate’s position, politics, and rulership. A few are not satisfied merely with seditious talk. A few possess frighteningly capable means with which to undermine causes of questionable nobility. A few want to see the experiment flourish, so that it might be ripped out roots and all. A fiery furnace awaits, and it hungers for both metal to shape and tinder to reduce to dust. When strange intelligent Beasts begin to appear on the lidar, they become the Toledo steel that will either straighten the extrafacetary territories’ spine, or leave it forever hunchbacked.
