As long as you love me | Brynn’s Future

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." - Lao Tzu

At the end of her scavenger hunt, she finds Allister and accepts his proposal! And they get married.

Edwin’s attempts to break them up obviously fail, and he is (ultimately) forced to begrudingly accept the two, but he always took digs at Allister whenever possible. 

They struggled for some time to conceive due to some fertility issues (meth has been known to affect male fertility and while the research is a little more uncertain in this area with anorexia, pregnancy would be more difficult for Brynn). However, fertility treatment in the 70s was almost better than modern times. The Turners offered to help financially, in exchange for a solid say in the raising of Brynn’s children, but the Woods refused and saved up to pay for treatments themselves (with a donation from Madelyn, if I get the okay from Kay on this, but I could see Madelyn doing this for Brynn so she could have the chance to have babies. I can see a “I can’t have babies, but you can” moment because nothing says the infertility issues are always permanent in either case)

Each pregnancy was increasingly stressful for Brynn, and she suffered from postpartum and near relapse after their first son. Avery moved in with them after each birth to help keep her sister on track.There are three dearly loved children, two boys and finally a girl. The boys were born with low birth weights, Oliver remains a little smaller his life, but you’d never know Art was born small. The threat of relapse is very real with each pregnancy, but Brynn clings to her incredible support system (Allister, Seth, Madelyn, Jamie, Avery, Hailey, Cain, Brett, her therapist, etc...etc...) and does not relapse.

Brynn becomes a bookkeeper, between her own struggles and watching her father she possesses a ruthless and business-savvy mind. She doesn’t marry a politician or her father’s apprentice, she marries a mechanic and he married a very smart, ambitious woman. She encourages him to buy his own garage eventually, and she’ll run the business side if he fixes the cars. She’s a wife, a mother, and a businesswoman. Oh, and she’s so unbelievably happy. So I think they ultimately do very well for themselves, but except for Brynn’s fashion sense, you’d never really know they had as much money as they eventually do.

Hayley and I never really got to talk about Allister and Brynn’s future or children much aside from them getting married, but these are my headcanons for them. Just FYI, if Hayley ever comes back, I’m open to changing anything she doesn’t agree with.

Brynn allowed for comic book names, as long as they could also pass as normal names too. So yes, they started their own little JL. 

Arthur “Art” Harold Woods

- Ironically, Art is on the swim team - He’s got his mother’s popularity, and he’s definitely big brother. - Unfortunately, some of Edwin rubbed off on this kid, and sometimes people are surprised that he is the product of two of the sweetest people Tulsa has ever seen. Art often sees more eye-to-eye with the Socs than the Greasers, and his main goal is to be his grandfather’s apprentice. - Regardless of the above, he is very protective of his siblings and his parents. Talk negatively about their past, you’ll see Art’s fist up close and personal. He’s really a good guy and is definitely one that grows out of the jerk phase...eventually. - His middle name, Harold, is a subtle nod to being named after his father. Hint: Allister’s alter ego ;) - Mama’s boy

Oliver Scott Woods

- Allister’s clone - If Oliver is lost in a crowd, just shout “I love Batman!” And he’ll appear to tell you all about how you’re wrong. - Dreams of owning a comic book store or taking over the family business, maybe both - Dungeons and Dragons player - As Art is popular, Oliver is unpopular. However, despite ALL their differences, the brothers are best friends. All of the siblings get along really well. - He never smokes or touches a drug (not counting prescription cases) for all his life, refusing to risk experimentation and how much like his father he might be in that area

Diana Lynn Woods

- The baby girl - Was almost named Dinah, but as she was their last miracle or “wonder,” (due to the pregnancy difficulties, they knew they would stop at three), they decided Diana was more fitting. - She’s a lot like Brynn, though quite a bit more outspoken - If not for her Daddy’s girl heart, she’d be likely to follow in her eldest brother’s footsteps. Though she gets along well with both Greasers and Socs, she’d never wish she was a Soc instead because it’d be disrespectful to her dad. - A devoted student of Hailey Adams’ dance class, and she dreams of dancing professionally someday. - Rebels against big brothers’ overprotectiveness. - She isn’t a big fan of the Dodgers, even if she does try to respect their leadership, because of how Rodney tended to treat her mother.

The children absolutely are the closest with the Mann kid(s) (even despite the slight age difference with Thomas, also not sure if they end up having more than one), the Adams’ bunch, and Jacobs’ (if Ricky and Madelyn adopt...er, what do you mean we don’t know if they actually married? Huh? lol)

Fun fact: all the kids’ middle names are tied to Green Lantern. Harold is the full name of Hal, Alan Scott is the original GL before Hal, and Jennifer Lynn is original GL’s daughter. 

Also, the idea of Brynn dying during a rumble did cross my mind (I have the gifs, y’all), like full circle to this generations’ parents, all Lainey and Landon-style, but Hayley and I gave blood, sweat, and tears to Allister and Brynn finally getting their well-deserved happiness, I wasn’t taking it away in a flash-forward headcanon. SOOOOO....Everyone lives!!
