What We Once Were

(Y/N) sips on her alcohol as she waits for Tommy to arrive at the Garrison, since it was early in the morning she was only person there beside Harry and the new barmaid, Grace.

Her knuckles hit the wood softly catching Grace attention, “Do you have the time?” Grace looked down at her watch before looking up.

“9:54, ma’am.” (Y/N) huffed, she couldn’t believe she had to get up at the break of dawn, and drive two hours all the way here only to be kept waiting, “Waiting for someone, ma’am?” She glanced at Grace.

“Yes..”

“Do you mind me asking, who, ma’am?” (Y/N) didn’t really pay to much attention to the girl when she replied, “Tommy Shelby.” Grace looked (Y/N) up and down wondering who she was and what business she had to her target, before she can question (y/n) more Tommy walked in through the doors.

“(Y/N), sorry to keep you waiting.” He took off his cap walking towards her, he threw a quick glance at Grace before kissing (y/n). Grace looked away going back to work making Tommy draw back, (y/n) looked questionable at her business partner and secret lover. He didn’t say anything just snaking his arm around her waist and moving them to the back room.

After Tommy closed the door he put his finger over his mouth telling (y/n) to stay silent, he heard talking and than a door opening than closing. He opened the window and saw Harry there but no Grace, “ Harry, where has Grace’s gone?” Harry shrugged.

“She said she was feeling bit ill, so I sent her home.” Tommy grunted before asking him to bring a bottle of Irish whiskey, and closed the window.

“I really hope you didn’t call me all the way down here to make some girl jealous.” Tommy turned smiling at her.

“Never.” She narrowed her eyes at him playfully, “Uhuh...” she took a seat at the table as Thomas brought the whiskey and two glasses over.

“If you didn’t call me to make the new barmaid jealous, than why am I here?” She asked seductively as she held her glass towards Thomas as he pour her drink.

“Business ...” he started setting the bottle on the table and taking a seat next to (y/n).

“Business?” She asked a bit annoyed that she came all the way down here for business that could have been taken care of in her factory.

“Yeah...” Tommy lit a cigarette, “I have more product coming soon and I need somewhere to hide it.” (Y/N) shook her head.

“There’s no way I’m letting you store illegal weapons in my very much legitimate business, again.” She said setting down her glass.

“The last thing I need is coppers breaking down my door and asking questions.” She sighed.

“No coppers are gonna be knocking on your door, okay? Because it won’t be there for long. Just for two days at least and we move it to our new location. ” he gave (Y/N) a pleading look making her nod, she could never resist his stares it always made her inside warm.

“Fine. But you owe me, Shelby. ” she leaned towards Tommy, they both turned towards the window hearing a sound, “Harry..?” Thomas said, no one answer he looked at (y/n) as she looked back at him.

“Maybe a rat?” He opened the window looking around seeing a knocked over cup, “Maybe...” he mumbled sticking his head back inside and continue his ‘business’ with (y/n).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ma’am, there’s a Mr. Campbell here to see you.” (Y/N) looked up and told her assistant to send him in. (Y/N) put her files away and leaned back in her chair, “Miss (y/l/n)...” he grabs her hand shaking it.

“Inspector, what brings you to my fine establishment?”

“My have sources that says you have been working with Thomas Shelby...” (Y/N) smiled before stopping him.

“And your here to ask why a gunsmith like myself is working with a Bookie from Small Health. Am I right?” The Inspector shook his head.

“No, I’m here to tell you that one of my moles that I had assigned to Mr. Shelby overheard you two talking. From what I heard it wasn’t about your legal businesses.” (Y/N) smiled dissolved from her face as she clenched her jaw.

“Is this the part we’re I’m suppose to be asking for a deal?” She said unbothered.

“No, (Y/N). This is the part where I give you two days to clear out your warehouses. “ (Y/N) looked confused.

“What?”

“My man will storm your warehouse in two days and by than I hope you move your products and his. ” she stared at him thinking if he was setting a trap or not.

“Why are you telling me this....”

“I have my reasons. ” Her hand tugged at the bracelet she wore nervously, she nodded as he stood up. She follow suit walking him to her door.

“Mr. Campbell...?” She stopped him as he stood outside her office, “What is stopping me from not telling Mr. Shelby about this?” He shrugged.

“Nothing.” He simply says walking away, the workers in the room watches him leave and some looking back at there boss. (Y/N) didn’t pay no mind to them as she walked back in her office, she sat there for a well before throwing her paperweight against the wall making a dent. She covered her face with her hands annoyed and frustrated with this whole ordeal.

Tommy pulled up to (Y/N)’s gun factory after she called him. He exits the car and walks through the empty halls to her office, he knocks a couple of time before entering. He saw her with a cigarette between her lips as she put away her paperwork, “When did you start smoking?” She rolled her eyes at him.

“I always smoke, you just never seen me in the act.” She blew the nicotine in the air, she motion with her hand to take a seat.

“If you mind I rather stand.” (Y/N) eye Tommy before talking, “Fine..” she put out her cig and folded her hands and front of her.

“Mr. Campbell came to see me today...” Thomas unbothered by the mention of the inspector look at the pictures scattered all over the wall, “and he told me you have a mole..” Thomas looked towards her again not bothered my the information.

He chuckled, “And you believe him?”

“How else would he have known about my warehouse? Or where it was in that matter.” She said

Tommy didn’t say anything as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, (Y/N) slowly watched him growing aggravated at his sudden silent.

“So?” She asked, he looked at her and shrugged.

“So...” she threw her hands up getting out of her seat and standing in front of him, “What is this? Did you take up a vow of silence utter of a sudden.” She hissed.

“I wouldn’t be talking if I did.” (Y/N) nose twitch as her patient was weary thin.

“This isn’t the time for jokes, Tommy. ”

“Am I laughing?” He said annoyed going to her mini bar table in the corner of the room, “Listen I look into it, alright?” He down his drink turning towards a still pissed (Y/N), he grabs her and pulled her close kissing her. (Y/N) anger toward Tommy slowly melted away as his hands roam her body, she hooked her arms around his neck deepen the kiss.

(Y/N) pulled at the roots of his hair making him moan in her mouth, she leaned on her desk wrapping her legs around his waist. One of (Y/N) hands slowly slide down to Tommy’s member making him pull away unexpectedly.

“What’s wrong?” She said he shook his head.

“Nothing, you caught me surprise that’s all.” (Y/N) looked at him suspicious as he start kissing her neck. (Y/N) slowly fell back into the moment when Tommy suck on her sweet spot. He lifted her on the desk, as his hand went under her skirt rubbing her. With one hand she unbuckled his trousers releasing his hard cock, Thomas groan as he felt her warm hand gently rub it.

(Y/N) pushed him back making Tommy look confused, she smiled at his red face and swollen lips without a word she got on her knees. His eyes rolled in the back of his head feeling her mouth suck on his tip, “Fuck...” he grunts gasping the back of her head, Tommy pulled her hair making her moan. (Y/N) move closer to him till his shaft is three quarters in your mouth.

She gag on him, which makes her moan. This causes him to jerk his hips forward, pushing himself further in her. She quickly bob her head and twist her tongue all around his cock, she starts moving her head faster wanting to feel Tommy inside her.

Tommy jerk his hips into her wanting to cum in her warm mouth, as he got closer he held (Y/N) still, “Oh, Grace...” he whispered catching (Y/N) off guard making her choke as she felt him twitch in your mouth. Not a second later she feel his warm cum hit the back of your throat and sliding down. He grunts as his cock is still in her mouth after he empty himself inside her, he pulls out with trail of cum on her lips and chin giving (Y/N) a chance to breathe.

She used her desk to stable herself as she gets up, Tommy faced away from (Y/N) as he fixed his trousers not wanting to look her in the eye after what happened. They both stood silent until (Y/N) spoke up.

“You don’t waste time do you.” He rolled his eyes.

“Don’t start..”

She glared at him as he fixed himself something to drink, “Your protecting her, aren’t you.” His nonchalant look filters for a moment before composing himself. She knew it his eyes betrayed him when she mention the barmaid. She shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter, you should leave.”

He sighed, “(Y/N)...” she put her hand up stopping him.

“Don’t...”

He took a step close to her making her step back, “...just leave.” She plead, he looked conflicted as he watched someone he considered not only a lover but a friend look so hurt. He turns to leave until (Y/N) said something leaving him heartbroken.

“I hope she loves you the way I do.” She watched him take a moment before leaving shutting the door behind her, she slammed her fist on the desk angrily as tears fell down her cheek. Thomas still near the door heard her sobs making him hold back tears himself. He soon left without her noticing.

Time Go By Fast

3 years later

(Y/N) looked in the mirror trying to fix her hair, she turned around hearing the door opened, “Mummy, I don’t know what dress to wear.” (Y/N) looked at her young daughter holding the dresses she choose for their day out.

(Y/N) made a face, “Hmmm...” she waved her daughter over and looked at the two dresses, “I think this one...” (Y/N) pointed at the left dress.

“You think...?” (Y/N)’s daughter made a face of distaste at her mother’s choice, making (Y/N) rethink her decision.

“Okayyy...” she said a bit thrown off, “The other one, it matches your necklace.” (Y/N) said straightening the bow on her head. (Y/N)’s daughter sighed sad looking at the dress.

“What? What’s wrong with this one...?” the young girl looked at the pink dress in distaste making (Y/N) more confused.

“It doesn’t...how do I say this..” (Y/N) stared at her waiting for a answer.

“...fit my personality, for example the dress you brought me yesterday. Definitely fitted my personality, don’t you think?” (Y/N) tried to keep a straight face as she finally catches on what her daughter was trying to get at this whole time. (Y/N) slowly nodded her head when the young girl finished.

“That dress is suppose to be for your birthday...” the girl bounce on her heel anxiously waiting for her mother to continue, “...but I guess you can wear it for-” the girl squeal happily wrapping her arms around her mother repeatedly saying ‘thank you’.

“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” She said repeatedly running out of her mother room to finally get ready, (Y/N) shook her head with a small smile going back to her vanity mirror.

“I spoil her too much.” She mutters applying a little bit of make-up before leaving the room and going down stairs for breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Y/N) sat on the bench watching her daughter play with other children, before a man walked up to her, “Is this seat taken?” She didn’t say anything as the man took a seat next her, he didn’t say a word as they sat their together. (Y/N) dug in her pocket pulling out a cigarette, she sighed as her lighter choose a perfect time to not work as her daughter was turned away.

“Here...” before she can take the cigarette out of her mouth the man next to her light it, she leaned closer to him. (Y/N) inhale the nicotine slowly before blowing it into the air. “Thanks..” she mutters.

(Y/N) stiffens as she looked at the man in front of her, he looks at her nervously, “T-Thomas?” She whisperers, he gave her a small smile.

“Hi, (Y/N)..” he rest his hand on hers making her tad bit warm inside.

“Mummy...” (Y/N) and Tommy looked away from each other as (Y/N)’s daughter made her way over, making (Y/N) pulled her hand away and turn her attention towards her daughter.

“What’s wrong, princess?” She asked grabbing her little hands, “I made a new friend..” she said excitedly, (Y/N) eyes light up.

“Really? That’s great, my love.” (Y/N) smiled as her daughter talked about her new friend.

“Can he come to my party?” She asked happily

“It’s your big day, sweetheart. But I think we need to ask his parents first.” The little girl glanced at Tommy eagerly.

“So can be?”(Y/N) looked confused at why her daughter was asking Tommy, she was about to ask her daughter before Tommy beat her to the punch.

“I don’t see why not...” he said making the child grin and run back to her new friend to tell him the news. (Y/N) sat back a bit caught off guard about what just happened.

“What are the chances. My boy and your daughter....friends.” He chuckled softly.

“Hmmm...” Thomas looked at (Y/N) before reaching for her hand again, she flinched as his cold hands touched hers making him look away.

“I’m sorry.” he looked at her, “...for your lost, must be hard for you and your son.” He nodded pulling out a cigarette.

“Yeah...” after he walked out on her, he never felt right. The love he had for Grace was gone the moment he laid back in bed with her, he couldn’t find it in him to love her like (Y/N) loved him. For a period he thought having Charlie would have made the love he had for her come back but...it didn’t, the birth of his son made his marriage with Grace somewhat bearable. For the time being.

“If we had a second chance would you have stopped me?” (Y/N) frowned.

“My heart would have but my pride wouldn’t.” She said sadly

“Would you have stayed?” Without a second to waste Thomas blurted out his answer, “Yes, without a second thought.” He grabs both of (Y/N) hands, stared in her eyes.

“My life with Grace was...not the best. I wasn’t a great husband, and the only thing that kept our marriage intact was my son, Charlie.” He said ashamed.

“I remember one night I dream it was you that carried my son. It was you I married. I wish I stayed that night, I wished so badly that I got to tell you I love you.” (Y/N) couldn’t stop the tears from falling, Thomas pulled her close kissing her tears away. (Y/N) was lucky there wasn’t a lot of people here today, she always hated cry especially in public.

Thomas couldn’t contain himself any longer and kissed her. (Y/N) took a minute for kissing back, she hook her arm around his neck pulling him in closer. She pulled away making Thomas attack her neck as she glance over to the playground to see the kids are still playing before turning back to Thomas.

“As much I would love to finish this but I have to get the little one home.” She untangle herself from Thomas as they both stood up.

“Are you saying there’s a chance we get to do this again?” Thomas says with a sly smile.

“Maybe, if you ask me properly.” She smiled.

Thomas smirked leaning in to her, “(Y/N) would you go on a date with me?” (Y/N) bite her lips playfully thinking before nodding her head ‘yes’ making him give her a very much longing kiss.

They both pulled away, “I’ll see you soon.” She said kissing his cheek before calling her daughter, Thomas stared at her as she walked away with her daughter. He finally came back to reality when his son hugged his side, he picked him up and walked to his car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6 months later

(Y/N) and Tommy laid on the blanket looking at the stars her head rested on his arm as the snuggle together on the grass. (Y/N) smile at the day they had together, she forgot the feeling of being wanted and adore. Her inside fluttered remembering how they couldn’t take their hand off each other, it was so hard for them not to get carried away since it was their first date with each other.

The nervous feeling she felt for weeks after he asked her out distracted her constantly, the moment he picked up her up all that worried melted away and the memories resurfaced as to why she always felt secure with Tommy. The whole day he held her hand as if at any given moment she would fly away, and he made it his sole mission to make her laugh, smile, and feel happy.

(Y/N) smiled turned into a sly smirk as she felt Tommy’s fingers ran up and down her thigh, she glanced style smiling fool before her making her glare at him.

“Don’t start something you can’t finished, Shelby.” He looked at her as if he didn’t know what she was talking about, “Whatever do you mean, Ms. (Y/L/N).” He says now moving his fingers under her dress, he stared into her eyes before kissing her. Both didn’t waste time as they undress each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 years later

(Y/N) watched as Tommy played with the children, she looked down at their five month year old son in the stroller. She smiled at the memory when she told Tommy the news, they were both thrilled to have a baby together and the kids were excited to be a sibling. But she sighed sadly at the aftermath....

1943

Tommy looked unfazed as his son, Charlie stands in front of him in the living room scowling him. (Y/N) looked confused and startled at what she was witnessing, Charlie never looked so angry but so disappointed at the same time at his father.

“Got something to say, boy?” Tommy asked a making Charlie face grow red by the second.

“I could ask you the same thing, old man.” Tommy sighed and took of his reading glasses well putting his book down on the table next to him. He stood up off his seat and looked eye to eye with his son.

“Ask and you shall receive.” Tommy said.

“Is what Lizzie Stark say is true?” (Y/N) wondered what Lizzie said to make Charlie look so coldly at his father.

“Hmmm, I see...” he fell back into his seat remembering what he been hearing about her.

“Is it true? Is Ruby your daughter.” Tommy looked from his son to his wife, (Y/N) looks back at him.

“...yes..” (Y/N) looked away from Tommy angry she couldn’t believe she was played once again by him, she kept a neutral face as her children looked shocked and angry at their father.

“For 17 years you kept this a secret.” Charlie hissed making Tommy turn back to him.

“I did what I had to do for this family.”

“For who? Her or us.” Ester said glaring at him.

“For all of us.”

Charlie shook his head in disbelief, “No, you did it for yourself. Like you always do, she a pawn like the rest of us.” He grumbled walking out of the living with his sister following behind, (Y/N) got up off the coach and moved closer to Tommy.

“(Y/N), I’m sorry.” (Y/N) pinch the bridge of her nose feeling a headache coming and sighed, “I know you are Tommy. I know you are and that’s okay. Because I already knew.” He sat there still unfazed by what his wife said.

“How?”

“Is that a serious question?” She rolled her eyes looking in the fireplace, “....she has your eyes and your attitude, I didn’t know for sure but I do now.” He finally looks up at her.

“Are going to leave me?” He asked genuinely. (Y/N) moved sitting on his lap, he leaned his head on her chest listening to her heart beat, “No, I’m not gonna leave you. I’m already in too deep, so why not ride it out...” she says.

“And besides it helped me relieve some of the guilt.” She sighs rubbing small circles on her stomach, Tommy clench his jaw at her words.

“I’m gonna check on dinner, I’ll send Mary in to fetch you when it’s done.” He nodded watching her stand up from his lap.

“(Y/N)..” he said stopping her, Tommy got up and pulled her by her waist and gave her a tender kissed. She kissed him back with the same passion, he broke the kiss leaning his head onto hers, “I love you, don’t doubt that for a minute.” She didn’t know what to say so she just nodded.

“I love you, too.”

1975

Tommy laid in bed with machine hooked up to him well looking through photos of him and his family, he saw an old photograph of him along with his brothers and another one with him and (Y/N), he traced his finger over her face longingly. He was back were he started when Grace died, expect his children were all grown up and despised him, expect for his youngest. All he had was his dirty money and the manor, most of his family moved away or died. So he was the only one left to run the business and keep it intact for all of these years.

Tommy started coughing badly causing his nurse to come in quick and hand him his medication. He took his pills and took a drink of water as he rest back in his bed with the photo album still on his lap, his nurse was about to go when Tommy stopped.

“Marie...” he asked weakly making her walked back to him, “Yes, Mr. Shelby. Do you need anything else.” She asked kindly.

“Yes, I need you to call my children. Tell them it’s an emergency...” he said coughing a bit before settle back. The nurse nodded leaving the room to call his kin, Tommy relaxed as he waited for his family to get here.

After waiting for well before his door opened to reveal his son, John. He walked in with Ruby and Mary close behind as they pulled up a seat next his bed.

“Hi, dad.” John said.

“Hello, dad.” Mary Jane said.

“Hi, dad.” Ruby said.

He smiled as they took a seat.

“So, what’s the emergency?” Mary Jane asked.

“I’ll tell you when Charlie and Ester get here.” The three siblings looked at each other.

“Dad?” Tommy looked at him.

“When was the last time you spoked to them.”

“Not since your mothers funeral, god bless her soul.” Tommy said.

“That was nearly two years ago.” Mary Jane said shocked, she knew her brother and father weren’t on good terms but still she kind of hoped one of them would at least called him once.

“It’s not their fault, I wasn’t a always a good father or husband for them to check up on. I deserve it for my past sins.” Ruby felt a bit sad because she was the breaking point to Charlie and her father downfall, but (Y/N) never blamed her unlike Charlie. It seem like she understood, if that makes any sense.

They all turned hearing the door opening to see Ester and Charlie with their own families, Tommy looked happy seeing his son and daughter walked in the room. He smiled as his grandchildren surrounded his bed giving him hugs and kisses, telling him how much they missed spending Christmas and Easter with him.

“Come on, kids. Why don’t we give them some space.” The children awe in sadness wanting to spend more time with their grandpa, “Now, now. Listen to you mother. “ Tommy said as they moved off his bed and followed Charlie’s wife and Ester’s husband out the door.

“I’m happy that you came..” Tommy said.

“Marie said it was emergency.” Ester said taking seat on the other said of the bed making Charlie followed suit.

“Indeed. I wanted to talk to you all about my will.” Tommy sat up a bit.

"And you couldn't wait to tell us this tomorrow." Charlie said watching his father pull out a folder from his side table, "I wanted to talk about it now, just in case.." He said nonchalantly putting on his glasses.

"Dad, why is everything okay?" John asked worried

"There's no need to worry, I just wanted get everything settle before my depart.." He says.

"Dad..." Charlie started but cut off by his father,

"Now, my estates are gonna be split between all of you." He hands each of the properties to his childern.

"You giving me the betting shop?" Charlie said, "Yes, you can sell it or keep it. It's yours." Charlie looked back at the paper.

"I only have one request to ask of you." they looked at him with teary eyes, "...forgive me.” He said looking at all his children. They nodded.

“Now, bring my grandkids back in here before they have to go.” Ester stood up and called all everyone back, the children rushed in as they surround their grandfather again. He told them stories of their grandmother and his brothers/sisters, all the well his children watched and laughed along forgotten ever being sad. The night was coming to a end, John and Mary Jane along with Ruby bid their family a goodnight before leaving home.

Ester bend down kissing Tommy on head before saying goodnight, “I love you, dad.” She whispered Tommy smiled grateful at the women he was so proud to call his daughter, “I love you too, my dear.” Tommy kissed her hand saying goodnight her and her kids.

“Hey, can you give me a minute with my dad?” Charlie asked his wife who nodded kissing him on his cheek before saying goodnight to her father-in-law. Tommy waved goodbye to his grandchildren and daughter-in-law, Charlie came close to his father’s bed.

“Dad?” Tommy looked up at him.

“I wanted to stay I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated you-.”

“Charlie...” Tommy stopped his son, “...there’s no need.” The look on his father face told him everything he needed to know, “I love you, dad.”

“I love you too, son.” He smiled.

“But before you leave, here.” Tommy handed him the photo album, Charlie looked taken back at the book his father was holding towards him. He took from his hand as he scan through the pages.

“I can’t believe you still got it,I always thought we lost it.” He said staring at a photo of him and John in the backyard.

“Marie was l throwing stuff away and came across this old thing, so many memories.” He said he looked at his son as he smiled at the pictures, “I want you to keep.” Charlie looked at him.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, my old man brain gonna misplace it one of these days. I want you to have it. Just in case.” He said.

Charlie nodded, “Thank you..” Tommy started coughing and wheezing making Charlie give him a glass of water, he thanked him and took a couple breathe from his mask before lying down.

“Maybe we should stay over.” Tommy shook head, “No, Im fine I have Marie here.” Charlie looked complex.

“I’m be fine.” Tommy said sincerely trying to put on a brave face for his son, Charlie nodded.

“Okay, dad. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow, son.” He watched Charlie walk out with the album in his hand, Tommy got comfortable in bed with a photo of (Y/N). He stood up for a well thinking about his life and his family, h sighed kissing the photo.

“I miss you, my love.”

Tommy settled into bed. Nothing but ventilator sounds fill the room, slowly he drifted and to sleep as he imagine (Y/N) sitting next to him on the park bench watching their kids and grandkids play. He turned to her watching her smile and laugh at them.

“There’s a pretty face.” He whispered.

Time After Time

I sighed moving around the room stepping over broken glass to get over to John passed out on our bed, my eyes glanced down at him before moving towards lizzy sleepy form. I nodded to myself before walking out of the room towards the hallway bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror surprised that I was so calm about this all. I don't know if I'm tired from it or I haven't registered what I just saw, either way that doesn't stop me from stomping back in the room and throwing a bucket of water on them.

"Oi, what the fuck." John shouted waking up looking around confused, lizzy gasped in surpised sitting up in bed drenched in water.

"Get out." I said calmly looking at lizzy, she looked over at John before crossing her arms and giving me a distasteful look.

"If he wants me to leave I leave." She said with a smug smile, I stepped closer making her smile drop and back up.

"Johnathan tell your whore to get out, before I throw her out this fucking window." I kept my eyes trained on her, she looked scared looking between me and John.

"Fuck off, Lizzy." He says tired not even casting a glance at her as he looked through his draws, she looked shocked at John.

"You heard him Elizabeth fuck off back to the gutters you belong." I said waving my hand shooing her away as she picked up her clothes and rushed passed me.

"Where the kids?" He asked litting a cigarette, I turned back to him with a blank look.

"With Mrs.Stone." I held the metal bucket in my hand still contemplating if I should throw it at his head or not, he hummed staring at me with a look of knowledgment something I barely see anymore.

"20 minutes." I said.

"What."

"I been gone for 20 minutes and all I asked was for you to look after the childern...just for a little bit..." i rest my free hand against my forehead feeling a headache coming on.

"They were running amuck I couldn't control them, you should known better to leave them alone with me." He snapped back, I laughed covering my face before looking back at him.

"I was gone for 20 fucking minutes." I launched the bucket at him causing to duck as the bucket crashed through the window.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?" He shouted.

"You could have called anyone...your sister, polly, hell even fucking arthur." He ducked again as I threw a book resting on the vanity desk at him.

"For fuck sake–"

"But, NO you decided to get high and fuck lizzy fucking stark rather than watch your childern." He slammed me against the wall holding my wrist stopping from hitting him again.

"You need to calm the fuck down." He grits through his teeth his face red.

"Calm down!?!? Calm the fuck down!?!? How am I supposed to calm down when our daughter almost got hit by fucking car." I shouted at him, he looked taken back.

"W–W–What? Is she okay is she hurt?" I snatched my wrist out of his grip shoving pass him putting some distance between us.

"She's fine. I got her in time before the driver could could stop." I gulped remembering the fear that course through my body as I saw her run into the street after her ball, It felt like my world was about to shattered when I heard a car horned I was so grateful that I got there in time.

I felt a pair of hands squeezed my shoulder, "Baby, I'm so sorry I–" shrugged his hands off me.

"No, not this time. You can't apologize your way out of this you made your bed now fucking lay in it." I walked past him hearing him following behind me downstairs.

"What are you doing?" He asked as I gathered my bag from the couch, before turning to him.

"I may not be able to divorce you, but I can sure as hell get us away from you." I hissed turning towards the door, he pulled my arm causing me stop.

"Your not going anywhere neither are my kids." He growled.

"Call lizzie. I bet she be very happy to hear from you again." I stepped towards the front door turning the knob only for John to slam it back.

"Please..." he whispered wrapping his arms around my waist keeping from leaving, he rest his head on my shoulder pleading from not to leave him alone.

"I can't–I can't be here alone you know I can't please...I can't be left alone you know how me head play tricks." He begged hugging me from behind tighter, I couldn't resist leaning my body back against his warm skin. He left kisses on my neck and shoulder.

"...please...don't leave me." He whispered again, I closed my eyes trying to decide if I should stay or leave. I sighed deeply unwrapping his arms from around me, my original plan to leave sudden got thrown out knowing if I left John alone I might not like what I see when I come back.

"Go take a bath and change the sheets. I go get the kids and start on dinner" I sighed rubbing my eyebrow with the back of my hand, he gave me a small smile leaning in to kiss but dodge his lips as they landed on my cheek. I patted his bare chest leaving to receive the kids from the neighbors, they hurried out the old lady's house saying goodbye.

I picked up my baby girl as she sleep on the couch, i planted kissed on her face making her stir. I said my thank you's and goodbyes before heading back next door to deal with my little monsters, I walked in to found the boys and the girls in the living room either drawing or playing with their wooden cars. I locked the door and slide the bolt that the childern couldn't reach before walking up stairs to lay my baby down, I stayed with her for a moment before I left out thr room with the door wide open.

I peaked in my room to see the glass on the floor was gone and my bed covered with towels as steam came out of the bathroom, I walked down the stairs hearing the television from the living room. I sighed in relief knowing that would keep them busy until they realize its too quiet and start rasing hell, I walked around the kitchen grabbing ingredients as music plays from the radio.

I was almost finished mushing the potatos in the when I heard heavy footsteps come down the stairs, I set the bowel of bread down on the table before grabbing the pot of green beans and started scooping them onto our plates. I looked up to see John in a under shirt with suspender keeping his trousers up, he smiled at me taking a seat at the head of the table.

"Can you cut the meatloaf and separate them." I asked setting the meatloaf in front of him, he nodded making me walk out towards the living room.

"Mama." They complain at once as I shut off the tv set.

"Dinner's ready. If yall behave I let you have one more hour of tv and that's it." The all got up nodding heading towards the kitchen, I went up stairs to check on my little girl to found her just waking up.

"Hi, pudding. You hungry?" She yawned nodding rubbing her eyes, she blinked a couple of times before looking at me with her brown doe eyes. I smiled at her playing with her curls before kissing her brown skin.

"Ew, mama." She giggles as I kissed her chubby cheeks.

"Ew? You don't like mommy's kisses anymore." She shook her head as I picked her up off her bed and carried her out the room.

"Oh, man. I guess I have to find someone else to give my special kisses to now." I said sighing looking away from her in thought.

"...hmmm maybe baba would like my special kisses." I shrugged walking into the kitchen I walked over to her brother and sisters giving them a kiss on the head. Her brows furrowed in anger and her nose scrunched up.

"No." Her daughter snapped covering my mouth to stop me from giving out kisses.

"...mine special kisses." I laughed before giving her a couple kisses before setting her down down next to me.

"Dad?" John's oldest looks over at him in question.

"Yea."

"I was wondering if I can get a new bike, since Katie wants my old one." John swallowed his food and looked at me before looking at him.

"Yeah, sure. I take you tomorrow." John's son smile before going back eating his food.

"Can Katie and I get new dresses." John smiled shrugging.

"Sure. Maybe new shoes as well." Both girls smiled at each other excited about going new stuff.

"How about you, darling. Do you want something." He asked our daughter.

" I want a new doll." She says excited.

"Your wish is mine command." He smirked clapping his hands togther, I wanted to badly to go across this table and punch him.

"How about you, mama bear. How about a new set of diamond earrings." I gave him a tight smile before shaking my head.

"No, thank you. I'm fine." I says looking back down at my plate missing John's small frown, the phone ringed making him get up and answer it. I tried hearing him talk on the phone as the childern talk amount each other, after about a couple minutes of talking to whoever it was he hunged up.

He took a seat back glancing up at me for a quick second before continuing eating his meal, we all finally finished our dinner when I gave the childern pound cake for dessert. Katie and her brother watched over the younger ones as me and John clean the dishes.

"I'm going to leave soon. Tommy called a family meeting." I looked over at him with looked concerned.

"At this hour?" He nodded.

"He said it's important."

"Okay, do you know how long you be." He shake his head.

"Okay, I'll fix you a plate just in case you get hungry again." I said cleaning the last dish and heading over to the stove to make John a plate.

"Thank you." He said placing it on the counter.

"My offer still stands about the jewelry." I glanced at him with a look.

"I'm good, Johnny." He sighed moving closer towards me as I bumped into the counter near the sink as he pushed his body up against me.

"I'm really am sorry for what happened today." He said squeezing my waist.

"I know you are." which is why I know you do it again because you know I forgive you for you infidelity.

I leaned up kissing the corner of his mouth, "I love you." I whispered.

"I love you, too." He planted a kiss on my head, he grabbed his plate as I walked him towards the door, he gave a quick kiss on my cheek before heading towards his car.

If By Chance

My head nodded towards the gentleman as he handed me my bags, I sway my way around passengers getting off the train.

I looked around trying to find a familiar face, I walked around passing people before setting my suitcases on the bench. I digged in my coat for my lighter flipping it to pass the time as I waited for an old friend.

"What's shakin' bacon?" I grinned turning around and seeing my favorite person in the world world.

"Not a thing, chicken wing." I winked at her holding my arms out as she ran into me.

"Oh, I missed you." She held me tightly.

"The feeling is mutual, darling." I kissed her cheek, we pulled away smiling at each other before I notice a little boy walking up to us.

"Does my eyes deceive me, or is that baby karl." I squat down at eye level with the boy, he shy away behind his mother only peaking from behind her to look at me.

I reached in my pocket and got out a small toy car for karl making him stepped from behind his mother.

"I know your birthday was last week, but I didn't want to meet you empty handed." He hesitated to take looking st his mother before me.

"My mother says I shouldn't take things for strangers." I smirked looking at Ada as she smiled down at her son proud.

"Smart boy. Good thing I'm not a stranger, am I ada." Ada shook her head no looking down at Karl.

"No, she's one of my closest friends. We're basically sisters. " She grins rubbing his back, he looked back at me before taking the car out of my hand.

"Thank you." He says softly admiring the red fire truck.

"You welcome." I stood up straight looking at Ada, the sound of thunder ringed in the distance making us head towards the car.

"Next stop: home." Ada says starting up the car.

We finally reached Ada's house as the sun starting to set, I laid my suitcases on the bed in the guestroom she offered me until I can found myself a flat.

"Thank you for letting me stay here, Ada. It means a lot." I said sitting at the kitchen table watching her looking through her fridge.

"It's the least I can do for you helping my cousin out and all." I waved my hand as if it was nothing, imagine my surprise when I ran into Michael. He was a smart guy but he was too ambitious....reminding you of someone.

"It was nothing. I'm just glad his back here safe and sound, he was wild card back in New York." I said shaking my head taking a sip of my beer.

"Yeah, I heard. Did you met Gina." Ada asked.

"Yeah, she seemed like a good girl." I shrugged.

"Good girl?" Ada laughed before taking a puff from her cigarette.

"That girl is snake in a fur coat." I laughed with Ada at her take on the young girl.

"Oh god, I missed this..." she giggled.

"What? Talking shit." I grinned.

"That and talking with you."

"You might not be able to tell, but I'm blush right now." She coughed inhaling the nicotine as we laughed not second later karl walks staring bis hungry.

"How about pasta for dinner, I remember seeing a Italian restaurant when we past by...I pay." I asked.

"No, way. Your a guest–"

"A guest who is staying here rent free, come on Ada you know you can't win argument with me." I smirked getting out my wallet.

"You win this time, but next time I'm paying." I gave her a look saying otherwise.

The next time came sooner than I thought as I took Ada out on a lunch break.

"Guess who asked about you today." I raised my eye sitting across from her outside a Cafe.

"Does his name start with T." She nodded playing with her necklace as she rest her chin in her hand.

"He wanted to know why you haven't visited yet." I hummed tilting my head up to the sky as the sunglasses I had on blocked the sun from hitting my eyes.

"What did you tell him?"

"That you were busy trying to find a job and a flat." I looked back at her.

"Did he buy it." She shook her head no making me groan.

"He gonna want to see sooner or later." Ada says softly.

"I know." I sighed taking off my shades and putting them on my shirt.

Ada break was over and offered to drive me back to the house, but I decline telling her I was going to the park to clear my head. I kissed her cheek before we parted way, I took in the fresh cut grass and birds chirping as I found a bench under some shade with a great scenery of a field with people on the grass having picnics and childern playing.

A group of childern ran around with a football kicking it around reminding me of a memory that meant dearly to me.

I stomp in a puddle of mud getting my black shoes dirty, I could hear my mother stern voice cussing me out when I get home. I walked along the schoolyard at recess watching the other kids play, my head snapped up hearing crying from the tree I was a few feet away.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked the little girl, it wasn't unusual to see younger kids around here since we share the same recess in the small school she shook her head clenching a decapitated doll.

"No, a big kid ripped my doll head off." She sniffled rubbing her eyes, I frowned down at her before looking around for a teacher to find and surprise surprise they weren't any around.

"Come with me." I hand out my hand and she took it as I pulled her to the art room we were lucky we still had and sat her down in the chair.

I went to the cabinets and grabbed some thread and a needle that the teacher kept in case, I moved back over to her and started to fix her doll.

"I seen you around watery lane, your a friend of charlie?" She asked.

"My dad and him use to work togther in the mines, before he moved away." I said making her nod.

"I'm Ada. Ada Shelby." I told her my name and shaked her hand after I finished fixing her doll.

"Nice to meet you, Ada." I handed her back her doll, she smiled happily clenching it to her chest thanking me.

The next day I was under the same tree reading when i glanced up to see a boy from my year walking towards me, I looked back to my book ignoring them knowing they just want to cause trouble.

"What's your reading?" The boy asked, I looked up staring into his piercing blue eyes.

"Frankenstein by Mary Shelley." He nodded walking a little closer towards me about to say something when the same little girl from yesterday came running over.

She stopped next to me taking a seat, she smiled towards me before looking over at the older boy giving him the second degree.

"Why are you messing with my new friend." I looked surprised at her before hearing the boy snort.

"I'm not messing with her, I just came over to tell her thanks for what she did for you." He huffed rolling his eyes.

"Oh...well you thanked her now kick rocks." She sassed making me giggle, the boy glared at me as I continued laughing.

"I assume you know each other?" The boy opened his mouth to say something when Ada beat him to it.

"Sadly yes, this is my older brother Tommy." I chuckled again closing my book between my index finger to save the page. I grin at Tommy.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey." The bell ringed signaling recess was over, Ada said goodbye to me not even glancing at Tommy as she ran back to her class.

"Can I walk you to class." I asked smirking, he looked at me with raised eyebrow before nodding.

I never told them this but meeting Ada and Tommy was the best day of my life, I was a outsider and its hard to befriend new people you barely know. I usually wouldn't look twice at what happened to Ada but I did...why? I don't know...but I'm happy I did it, if I didn't I wouldn't have met Polly, John, and Arthur.

Thomas and I grew close we hanged out ever chance we got with Ada and John tagging along with the us, Arthur would come too just so he didn't have to do chorus...I remember having a crush on Arthur. I was always teased by Ada and John by it and I think Arthur knew too, Thomas laughed about it wondering why I a thing for his older brother.

"I don't know maybe because he knows how to have fun, unlike someone I know." I jest looking at him, he rolled his eyes.

"I know how to have fun." He grins before taking a another of his beer before handing it to me as he ran and jump off the quarry into the water below.

"Holy shit." I said looking down over the edge to see Thomas splashing in the water, I finished off his beer before launching myself off the rock and into water.

We had so much fun back then but it seems liked when we started our 11 year we had to stop, we started to changed...I started to changed my body actaully...my once small chest grew a bit and so did my hips I got a bit taller...and thomas notice this...and arthur.

Arthur and Thomas flirted with me every chance they got either in my father's shop or at the garrison, one day after coming home my mom told me we were moving back to the states and I was devastated. He messed up again and we had to move...again, I got drunk well everyone was having fun at our going away party I sneaked off and drunk kissed thomas. It was the best first kissed I ever experience even though we were both a bit tipsy, what hurt the most was that he didn't send me off me off as I boarded the boat to America.

It always amaze me how a happy memory of mines can also lead to a sad one, I looked up hearing someone clear their throat to see the very man who been on my mind every since lunch.

"Hello, Tommy." He nodded wearing that same look when we first meet.

"Hey." He took a seat next to me as I looked back at the scenery in front of me.

"How did you know I was here."

"Ada told me you were having lunch at the Cafe, so i drove over and hope for the best." I looked at him in surprised.

"What if I wasn't here."

"Than i would have took it as a sign." He said taking out a flask, he took a sip before handing it towards me.

"A sign for what?" I asked coughing a little at the strong whiskey.

"That we weren't meant to be togther." I handed him back his flask and looked down at my boots.

"Oh."

"It's that a good 'Oh' or a bad 'Oh'..." he asked.

"It's a bit of a not so happy since you took my first kiss and didn't show up to send me off kinda Oh." I said snarky.

"So...a good oh?" He joked making me slapping his chest.

"Don't get smart with me, Shelby." I glare softly at him with a faint smile.

"You haven't changed a bit." He chuckled lowly rubbing his chest.

"I don't think so..." I looked away from him, he frowned a little looking at me before grabbing me hand and caressing my hand with his thumb.

"I'm sorry for not being there when you left." I looked over at him.

"Why weren't you?"

"I was angry at you for leaving." He sucked his teeth shaking his head.

"I didn't have control over that..."

"I know you didn't and I knew then too I was mad that after we kissed it was...perfect as if we fit togther like–"

"Two puzzle pieces." He grinned nodding.

"Yeah, it wasn't fair." He sighed taking off his cap and raking his hand through.

"I know." I glanced at him and scooting closer.

"Good thing i waited in the park a little bit longer." I said smiling at him.

"Is that you saying you willing to take a chance on me." I moved my to left and right thinking.

"...yeah." I nodded leaning in making the first move capturing his lips, I held in him as hid tongue explore my mouth making me feel greedily.

"We should leave too many prying eyes." He said whispered in my ear making me look around seeing some people give us looks.

"Good idea." As we stood up tommy put his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to his side making me put my arm around his waist as we walked towards his car.

Change Your Tune

I stared at the patterns on the ceiling in my room, my hands clench and unclenches the sheets as Tommy thrusts inside me grunting in my ear. My eyes shift from the roof to the vanity mirror across from me, I frowned softly staring at myself trying to figure out why on god green earth was I here.

"Am I boring you?" I snapped my head to looked up at Tommy not noticing he stopped and was staring down at me with a unamused look.

"No, I was just..." I trailed off sensing he didn't really want a answer, so i just shook my head.

"Nothing, I'm sorry." He stared at me for a few seconds, before his hand moved from my thigh to my neck turning my head the opposite way of the mirror. His mouth licked and bite at my skin causing my body to react, he started thrusting inside me again but harder and faster. His rough thrust caused the bed to knock against my dresser causing littler trinkets to fall to the floor.

His hand tighten around my neck causing me to close my eyes and let tommy continue fucking me, after a couple more thrust I squeezed around him tensing making tommy came inside me groaning well burying his face in my shoulder. I groaned mentally at tommy heavy body going limp on top of me, I can only imagine the looks on my father face if he find me like this now. He probably be disgusted by me if he known men did this me...well a man, tommy shifted on top of me making me snap back to reality as he gets up off the bed. I covered my body with my thin blanket before turning on my side to watch tommy put his cock back in his pants and fix his trousers, he moved over to my dresser where his jacket was pulling out a pack of cigarettes.

He put one in his mouth before glancing at me offering me one, I shook my head I didn't like the taste of them and they kinda made my lungs feel funny. He shrugged litting his cigarette and putting on his jacket, I shifted sitting up on the bed my back leaning against the wall. I looked over at tommy as he holster his gun in his back waistband before looking back on the dresser, he backed up looking on the floor for something making me move to the edge of my bed. I bended over checking under my bed to find a golden ring not too far from my reached, I lifted myself up and looked over to tommy and held out my hand.

"Thanks." He mutters taking the metal out of my hand and sliding his wedding ring on his finger, I wondered watching him look at his ring if he felt gulity for being here after lizzie forbide him from coming to this place.

He was my first and only client on the account of him being the leader of the peaky blinders, which meant I didn't have to deal with some of the pricks who go through here like the other girls. I'm not an idiot I know tommy wanting me to himself doesn't mean he gives a fuck about me, he may not say it but he makes it clear that I'm just another hole that he can stick his dick inside whenever he wants.

"It's not proper to stare." My eyes averted from his gazed when he spoke up making me look down at my bedsheets.

"I'm sorry." I heard him move towards my bed before sitting down, I felt his fingers grab my chin lifting my face up to look at him.

"You want to ask me something. Ask." He stared into my eyes as I stared into his thinking if I should ask.

"Do you ever feel gulity coming here even though lizzie told you not too?" His face was unfazed by the question, but his eyes grew hard as his hand moved from my chin to grab my jaw making me wince as he held it tightly.

"Not that its any of your business, but no I don't. Why? You getting tired of me fucking you." He said calmly.

"N-no." I shook my head in pain.

"Good." He said letting go before he stood up heading towards the door, i rubbed my jaw moving it as I scowled him with his back to me.

"Because it be a shame to found out they switch you to a different brothel, where the men could be so much worse." I looked at him startled by his threat, tommy glanced halfway over his shoulder bidding me a goodnight before opening and shutting the door with a loud bang.

I sinked back into my bed pulling my blanket tighter around me, now that tommy is mad i wonder if he going to make good on his threat. I buried my face in my pillow trying not to think about it, I threw all my thoughts about tommy away and started imagining I was back in my home in my comfortable bed and my old room with clothes all over the floor and the window that looks out to the backyard where I sit to be alone. My body started to relaxed as I imagine my old life with my friends and family, and finally fell asleep.

My brain was awake before my body as the banging on my door signal that it was time to get up, I opened my eyes staring at my reflection in the mirror seeing the hickies all over my neck and shoulder.

I groaned pushing myself up before crawling off the bed, I put on a dress shirt and some underwear from my dresser before heading towards the door.

"Hi." I looked up from closing my door to see my next door neighbor.

"Hi, blondie." The blonde smiled at me like she always do as she follows behind me down stairs.

"The madam want to talk to you." A red hair girl said walking up to me, I nodded walking towards the room where the madam would be at this time.

"Come in." I stepped in looking around before standing in front of her desk.

"Do you have your earnings?" She asked putting down her pen and looking at me, I nodded digging in my shirt pocket and pulling out a couple of pounds.

"30 pounds?" She looked impressed before putting them in bra for safe keeping.

"You can go back to your room, now." My brows knit togther.

"But I haven't eaten breakfast yet."

"Only girls who satisfy their clients get to eat." I frowned.

"But I–"

"Mr.Shelby told me about last night, he said you were distracted and gave him lip...so dismissed." I clenched my teeth watching her pick up her pen and start filling out paperwork again.

I walked out and headed towards the stairs back to my room, I sighed flopping on my back and staring at the ceiling patterns. I only hope the food I had yesterday would be enough for me, and I still have chores around the house that I had to do to get lunch so it isn't too bad. But the worst was to come when tommy didn't show up that night or the next day or the next day or the next day having to depend on doing a good job on my chores to eat, I guess this was tommy way of punishing me.

I was reading a book blondie gave to me a well back to keep me entertained, I heard two knocks from my door making me hide my book under the mattress before standing up and looking at the door as the madam and an unfamiliar man walked through the door.

" (Y/N) meet Mr. Solomon his a friend of Mr. Shelby." I looked over at the larger man before plastering on a small smile.

"Hi." I said softly, he look me up and down before looking around the room.

"Mr. Shelby instructed that you take special care of Mr. Solomon tonight. " Madam hummed giving me a look, I nodded with a smile.

"Good girl." She says before glancing at the man as she walked out the door, I turned my gaze to the man as he sat his cane against the dresser.

"How long have you been fucking?" He asked looking at the tinklets on my dresser, I hesitated to speak not knowing if I should or he grow mad like tommy and do something to me.

"Come on don't be shy spit it out, girly." He huffed turning in my direction.

"Only a few months." I said looking at him, he nodded grunting as he took a seat on my bed. He massaged his knee grunting before unbutton his white shirt, I watched as he grabbed my pillow from beside him and put it behind as he moved to lay down putting his arm under his head.

"My knee is givin me 'rouble so you gonna 'ave to do mos' ov the work, girly." He says unbutton his trousers and taking out his cock, I nodded again reaching under my dress and pulling my panties down making them drop to my feet. I kicked them to the side and make my way to him, I sighed mentally before putting him in my mouth.

He was a bit bigger than tommy by length and girth which is good it means it won't hurt as much like the first time I did it, I looked up to see his eyes closed and him biting his bottom lip.

"Fuck!" He exclaimed under his breathe, his hand grabbed a fist full of my hair as he bobbed my head further as his cock it the back of my throat. I moaned around him feeling his cock twitch in my throat, I wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand before going to straddle him.

His hands cralwed up to my upper arm sliding the straps from my dress off making my breast fall out, we made eye contact for millisecond before I glanced away down at his tatted chest. I rubbed his hard cock a few more times before rubbing his tip against my folds making me become wet, I grunt lowly slowly sliding my body down on his cock.

I closed my eyes as I started to ride him rolling my hips making him groan softly, I felt his hand slide up from my waist and grab hold of my breast rolling my nipple between his thumb and index finger well squeezing causing a moan to slip out. I stop my movement feeling his thumb rub against my clit, he smacked my ass making me tense at the weird new feeling that shot through me.

"Come on, love. I'm not paying ya to sit and look pretty. " He said gruffly, I gave him a shy apologetic look before moving again. His thumb went back to my clit making the feeling in my stomach tighten and pussy to get wetter, I bite the bottom of my lip moving my hands on to his board chest. His hand left my breast slide down back to my waist as he thrust hips into me making me whimper, he held tightly in my waist as we fall into a rhythm.

I was getting close and so was he, he moved his hand again between my breasts and towards my neck squeezing it lightly as he fuck into me a bit harder with his thumb still circling my sensitive clit. I couldn't help the small cry out as the orgasm vibrated through my whole body, he pulled me down by my neck as he kissed me sloppily well I still rocked my hips against his cock. His other hand moved from my clit to my ass squeezing it as he came inside me with a low groan.

I couldn't help but slumped against him with my breast flash against his chest, I could feel dick still inside me twitching. I slowly slide off of him sitting on the other side of my bed, I moved to put my straps back on my shoulder before glancing at him as he fixed his trousers and button up his shirt.

"Fuckin hell." He grunts rubbing his bad knee, I frowned softly at his pain remembering people I helped with the same problem.

"May I?" I asked, he looked over at me as I pointed at his knee.

"...knock yourself out." He said gruffly laying back down watching me closely, I moved at the of the bed facing him before digging my thumbs into his thighs massage the muscles. He grunted in pain before going reflex when my hands moved down to his knee carefully massaging the side to try ease the muscles.

"Does that feel better?" I asked still massaging his thigh.

"Yeah...where you learn to do that?" He asked curious, I looked up at him for a second before shrugging.

"France." He hummed before moving off the bed, he went over to the dresser to grab his hat and cane.

"I'll be back tomorrow." I suppress my surprise and nodded.

"Same time, Mr.Solomon?" He looked over at me before nodding.

He left a couple pounds on my dresser before tipping his hat toward me and walking out the room, I buried my face into the pillow as I brought my cover to my chest feeling exhausted. I sighed as my mind was too tired to think about anything, but my mind did slowly drift to the man who

I haven't seen tommy since our last encounter but I have been seeing the sweet brute name alfie around more often, the second time he came back I was sorta surprised he didn't want to have sex. Instead, he wanted me to do what I did the day before with his leg and he started up a conversation.

"What's your name?" He asked, I looked up well massaging his thigh.

"Whatever you want my name to be." He shook his head.

"I want your real name." I looked at him a bit taken back, I hesitate for a minute before telling him my name.

"That's a pretty name." He hummed leaning back watching me work on his calf.

I asked for his name feeling a bit confident and he told me his name was alfrie...not alfred he made it clear how much he dispised being called alfred...he told me I could just call him Mr. Solomon if I was more comfortable with that.

"Or daddy." He winked at me causing me to chuckled lowly before smiling at him.

"I'll keep that in mind."

That was our routine he would come in tell me what he wanted to do and we do it, and at the end he tell me he see me tomorrow. One night, alfie came back he asked me a peculiar question.

"How do a smart girl like yourself end up here..." alfie asked as he rubs my feet and vise versa, this is one of those times alfie stay a extra longer to talk with me. I wasn't hesitant to tell alfie anything anymore now that he consider me his friend.

"My half-brother owned a debt to arthur shelby, he couldn't pay it so he drove his car into the canal." I said flat, I barely knew him and when my father introduced us he didn't want anything to do with me unless he needed money.

"Did they find the body?" I nodded.

"Yeah, my dad called me to identify if it was him and it was..."

"Must have been hard for your family." I shrugged, my dad was the only one broken up by his son's death well everybody else knew he was manipulative thief.

"I can't found sympathy for the bastard who put me in a 2,400 dollar debt." I threw a quick smile to alfie before going blank, I could be finishing school getting a real career and making something of myself but I'm here getting fucked for money.

"2,400 isn't that much." Alfie mused looking off to the side, I looked back back at him with a look.

"maybe not you, Mr. Camden Gangster," I smirked making him laugh, "...but to us common folks it's a lot of fucking money." I could feel his hand wrapped around my ankle dragging me slightly from my spot, I looked at to see me giving me those "fuck me" eyes.

I moved from my spot and sat on his lap with both legs on either side so im straddling him, alfie lay his hands on my side looking at me.

"what if I pay your debt?" He mutters, I smiled down at him shaking my head.

"you dont have to–" He cut me off as his hand slide to my ass pinching it making me glare softly at him.

"why not, huh? I have the money if you worried about paying me back–" I kissed his lips stopping him from talking I didn't want to talk about it anymore the thought of leaving here felt like a pipe dream, my hand brushed against his cock feeling how hard felt beneath his trouser.

"looks like someone ready for round 4. " I giggled, my lips kissed down his neck before leaving love bites. Alfrie held my wrists with both hands making me grin at him.

"stop trying to distract me, luv." I sighed as he gave me a look.

"tommy told me the same thing a couple months ago, but he changed his mind saying my pussy was too good to let go." I furrowed my brows back then I thought it was vigor what he said, but now I'm kinda flattered.

"I can't argue with that but do you think I go back on my word like shelby?" He asked a bit offended.

"Can you blame me? I got dragged into something that had nothing to do with me." I rubbed my forehead with back of my hand.

"And now if I leave I won't have no place to go my father won't allow me back if he founds out what I been doing for the past year and half. I can't go back to school. I cant get a job. I'm stuck here debt or not." I closed my eyes to stop the tears from forming, I spent most of my days waiting for the day my debt would be clear. Now, I dread for that day to come knowing I have no home and no money to fed myself knowing I would come back crawling begging to be let back in.

"All I know is this life now, why not just accept it." I shrugged looking back at him I couldn't help but admire his tatted chest and move my fingers across his chest.

"Now, can we go back to what he were doing and forget you say me at my lowest." I joked trying to bring up the mood again, i didn't want ruin a nice mood.

Alfie gave me a small smirk nodding before pulling bsck for a kiss, he flipped me on my back now hovering over me.

"Alfie. Your knee.' I said worried.

"Don't worry it doesn't hurt much right now. Now turn on your side." He motion his head as I turned on my side facing the mirror in front of me, I heard shuffling with his pants. I laid my head on my arm waiting for him, I felt him placing kisses up and down my neck and shoulder before his hand came around and started rubbing my clit.

"aw, alfie." I moaned putting my leg bending my leg up giving him more access, alfie's cock played in my folds making me wet teasing me ever so slightly. He held my breast as he thrust into me causing me to moan out his name again, his other hand hook under my leg spreading me wider. My finger rubbed my clit as pleasure shoot through my body, alfie beard tickled my neck as he left wet kisses and bites marks.

He groaned feeling me clench around him, he pulled my hair to turned my hair before his tongue explore my mouth. The sweet tightness of pleasure building up in my stomach bust, my body vibrated against alfie as he continued to fuck me from behind soon coming inside me with a huff before kissing my shoulder.

That was week ago. I haven't seen or heard from him since, I didn't take it personally I kinda hoped he leave. I couldn't start falling for this man...alfie had responsibilities to his gang and to people who counted on him, we wouldn't work out he comes here to blow off steam from the underworld and to have me in his life 27/4 would just cause both of us to be unhappy.

I turned my head yawning opening my eyes, I see aflie sitting on the end if my bed with his cost and hat still on.

"Hey, you. What time is it?" I stretched out my legs and back before settling back in bed.

"10:30." He asked watching me, I frowned sitting up.

"Fuckin hell." I whispered to myself before looking back at him.

"Did you just get here?" He shook his head no.

"Got here at 9 to found you sleep."

"An hour and a half, alfie. Why didn't wake me up. " I groaned making him chuckled.

"You look pretty when your sleeping." I gave him a look.

"You were watching me sleep." He shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"You my dear friend are a proper weirdo." I said moving over to him and kiss him on the cheek.

"Can you use a type writer?" He asked, I stopped midway putting my cover over my shoulder before nodding.

"Uhhh, yeah." A bit thrown off by the question, he nodded.

"Can you cook?"

"Yes."

"Can you do laundry?"

"Yes?"

" can you drive?"

"Yeah."

"Can you clean?"

"What is this? I feel like I'm being interview to be your wife." I giggled, I could see a slight blush come across his face.

"You didnt answer the question."

"Yes, alfie. I can clean. What is this about?" I asked smiling confused.

"I have a proposition for you." He said matter of factly with both hands on his cane.

"...okay." I said curious.

"You work for me as my secretary/assistant, and come stay with until you can get enough money to find a new place." He said, i looked at him with unbelievable expression.

"I cant just leave I still have to pay–"

"Already paid in full." He stood up, I stared into his eyes trying to figure why he doing this for me.

"No time to think. Just yes or no." I looked around my room before looking back at him.

"Yes."

The drive to alfie's home was not long as I looked outside at the buildings and the people walk to or from home, we finally pulled up to his home getting out.

Alfie pulled out his keys as I looked around to see some people out and about, I see a old couple giving me a look making me hold up my hand with a small smile.

"Oh, shit. I forgot to warn I have–" before alfie could finished his sentence a bark came from down the hall and a big dog rushed towards us.

I yelped as the heavy dog's paws pushed me into the door as it stand on its two feet sniffling me.

"Oi, Cyril. Get." Alfie tried to wave the dog away as he got down and started nudging my leg with his nose.

"Oh, what a cute baby." I smiled rubbing his head and snatching behind his ear, the dog, cyril, tail wagged as I scratched his stomach.

"You like dogs?" Alfie asked.

"Like? I love dogs. Oh, I can tell me and him are gonna be good friends." I smiled as the dog started to lick my face, I got up looking around the house before looking back at alfie to see him staring at me.

"Let me show you around." I nodded as he took me around the living room and the kitchen, we soon went up the stairs where he showed me the bathroom and my room. He pointed down the hall at his door.

"That's my room. If you need anything and i mean anything my door is always open." He said with a hint of a deviant glint in his eyes, I leaned closer to him smiling at him feeling his hand go to my hip.

"I'll keep that in mind." He smirked as I leaned in giving a heated kiss.

"I know it's your first night here, but why don't we get you settle in my bed for tonight." He asked huskily.

"I'm already liking it here." I grabbed his hand pulling him towards his room, he used one hand to unbutton his shirt before kicking the door close behind us.

Requested by × @shyjellyfish1

John sat lumped in his chair as Thomas talked, his eyes bore around the room not really paying attention to his brother. His mind wondered to a memory that he been frequently visiting lately, one of his special memories of his sweet beauty.

John pulled his lover over to the ferris wheel, he looked over to see (y/n) glancing up at the wheel.

"What's wrong? Scared of heights." He grinned making (y/n) glare at him.

"Shut up, Jonathan." John scrowl at the mention of his full name, she knows how much he hates to be called it making it easy to get under his skin.

"Don't be lashing out on me, because you too much of a pussy–" She slapped the back of his head.

"Shut up. I'm not scared and I'm not a pussy." He glared at her rubbing his head as they took another step, she suddenly felt nauseous noticing they were almost to the front.

"I-I'm just a bit timorous." she gulp feeling a lump in her throat, John raised his eyebrow confused.

" Timorous?" she smiled faintly looking at him.

"A feeling of nervousness, fear, or lack of confidence." He looked awed nodding in understanding.

"Right, right, right." He says, John smirked glancing at (y/n) noticing his girlfriend was a bit at ease. One of the reason, (y/n) loved about John he could make her feel better without even trying.

"Next!" (y/n) felt her blood run cold as she glanced up at the wheel, john gave the tickets to the operator whispering something to him before turning to her and reaching for her hand.

"Hey, it's going to be alright. I'm right here." He whispered bringing her hand to his lips, she nodded before he helped her onto the car.

He slide right next to her as the operator closed the small door and locked the latched, John squeezed her hand caress her hand with his thumb. (Y/N) jolted moving closer to John making him smirk, she held his arm as the ride creaked.

"What was that?" She asked scared, he chuckled kissing her forehead.

"It's fine it just the machine, babe." She nodded quickly burying her face in his chest, they were on the top when the ride jerk to the stop causing (y/n) to looking around and look over the car.

"What the fuck just happend? Did this thing just break down?" She said freaking out, John chuckled with arm around her.

"It's fine, babe–."

"The fuck it is." She said looking down at the crowd forming.

"Babe. It's fine." He tried assuring her, the ride jerked again causing her to cling to him.

"oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." She repeated.

John looked over the car to see a crowd, before glancing at his girl.

" (Y/N). Your fine." He said again, (y/n)'s eyes were closed.

"If you say it's fine one more time I'm going to punch you in the fucking throat." She said through clenched teeth, she could hear him chuckled rubbing her back pulling her closer.

"It's beautiful tonight." He moved a strand of curl behind her ear making her open her eyes, she looked up starry night sky before looking over at John.

"Yeah, it is." She smiled up at him, he looked down at her with a smirk before leaning towards her pressing lips to hers.

John couldn't resist exploring her mouth tasting cotton candy and beer they had earlier, his hand squeezed her hips as his other hand went under her dress.

"Ever fucked on a ferris wheel before?" He mumbled against her lips, she moaned feeling his hand gazed her inner thigh.

"No, and I'm not gonna start today. " He pulled back face all red with a frown, (y/n) smiled pulling him back by his collar.

"But, I could do you one better for now." She purred, her hand rubbing his member through his pants causing him to moan and lean his head back making her kiss his neck.

The ride jerked again causing her to pull away and John to look annoyed, the wheel started moving again making people on the ride cheer. (Y/N) sighed in relief before looking over at John who wore a irritated look, she glanced at his pants as he shifted in his seat.

The wheel stopped making the operator open the door to the car, (y/n) stood not before feeling John's crotch against her back as they look for another ride to get on.

"You owe me a little something when we get back to the house." He whispered in her ear before tickling waist making her giggled.

"John? JOHN?" John looked up looking around the room before his eyes landed on Tommy.

"Wha." He looked boredly at Tommy making Arthur shook his head, well Tommy looked irrited at him.

"I said how are the numbers coming along." John sighed before telling him the rates and the money flowing through

"Alright." He said moving along to other business making John roll his eyes, after the meeting john went for a drive. He didn't feel like like going to the garrison for a drink or home for that matte, he wanted to be alone with his thoughts.

He was in London when he parked his car couple of blocks away from her shop, he would walk by it looking through the window trying to get a glimpse of her even for a second. It been couple of years since (y/n) left for paris for school that was two years before the war, after John got drafted he went looking for her when she stopped sending letters. He looked everywhere around her school and apartment she was staying with her roommates, and couldn't find her he believed she was died.

Until the war was over, a year later he found out that she somehow made it back to london. John wanted to go to her but he was different and he could tell that she was the same girl....the same beautiful woman he fall in love with and he didn't want to ruin that by coming back into her life.

He walked to her Cafè looking through the window and to see her counting money behind the cashier register, he hesitated for minute before walking through the door.

"I'll be right with you." I said hearing the bell ring, I finished counting the money and sitting it back in the register.

"Welcome to Heaven on Earth. The greatest bakery in West–" I stopped looking at John, he took off his cap.

"Hello, my love." John says walking closer to me, I stared stunned at him.

We stood there staring at each other for a moment before he spoke up again, "I know I should have come sooner, but I didn't want to intrude and–" I rushed around the counter and jumped into John's arm burning my face in his neck.

"shut up, dummy." I muttered feeling his arms wrapped around my waist, he kissed along my cheek before kissing my lips.

"I missed you." He mumbled against my lips.

"I missed you, too." He pulled away leaning his head against mines breathing heavy.

"I'm sorry...I'm so fucking sorry." John shook his head making me grab his face.

"You don't have to apologize, john. I understand why you did it..." he buried his head in my neck.

"I moved on...I was married...I had kids...fuck..." I could feel him shaking against my shoulder as he cries.

"I wish it was you...I wish they were yours."

"Oh, John. It's not like it's the end of the world, we have can do all of it." He looked at me.

"You still want to be with me?" I laughed nodding my head.

"There's nobody I rather be with than you. " He smiled pulling me in for another kiss.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too, johnny."

Oh I'm sorry 😅 I just sent in a request I forgot to add could you make it a black reader

Thomas was in the kitchen drinking coffee when he saw his wife walk in with charlie on her hip, she put him down when they saw tommy.

"Daddy." Charlie ran up to his father making tommy lift him up and kiss the top of his head.

"My boy, good morning." He said sitting his son on the counter top before looking over to his wife.

"How did you sleep, my love." Thomas asked, (y/n) shrugged pouring some tea in a cup.

"Good. It would have been better if you were there..." She looked over at him with a small smile, he sighed giving her a guilty look.

"I'm sorry, but I promised I be here tonight." he grabbed her hand squeezing it with care.

"You better or your going to be spending more time on the couch rather than your own bed." (y/n) kissed tommy's cheek before moving over to the table, tommy chuckled nodding before moving charlie off the counter and sitting him between (y/n) and him.

"What are your plans for today?" He asked looking between his son and wife.

"Well, I was thinking we head to the flower shop to see my mother, then get some sweets at the bakery we love so much..." Charlie giggled when (y/n) tickled his tummy before looking back at tommy.

"And finally head to John's so charlie can see his cousins?" Tommy gave (y/n) a look after sitting down his coffee.

"Is that a good idea? You know how wild John's children can get and I don't want you to strain yourself." She rolled her eyes.

"Tommy I'm only 14 weeks along I'm not gonna strain myself." His hand landed on her small bump, (y/n) notice the look of worry on his face as she place her hand on top of his own.

"If it makes you feel better, ill bring the nanny to help." He looked at her thinking before nodding his head.

"Yeah...I'll send some boys to watch over you as well..." (y/n) opened her mouth to object.

"I know, I know, but it help me to know your okay...please," She sighed before nodding, he leaned over and kissed the side of her face.

"Thank you." He got up and poured his coffee down the drain, before walking back to his small family.

"I'll see you tonight." he kissed his son head, (y/n) got up as mary came in coming to watch charlie as tommy took (y/n)'s hand and lead them to the foyer.

"Be careful today."He says pulling her into a hug, she winced pulling causing tommy look scared.

"What? What's wrong...is the baby, okay?" His hands shoot to her shoulders as she bends over wincing.

"I-I'm okay...just cramps...I'm fine." She took in deep breathes.

"You could visit your mom and kids another time, we should you to bed. Mary?" (y/n) hushed tommy making him look at him watching her straighten up.

"See I'm fine...just a cramp." she smiled at him showing he was okay, he looked at her for a minute.

"Are you sure?" She nodded moving her hand to her stomach and rubbing it.

"We're fine...she's fine..." Tommy rolled his eyes making (y/n) grin wider.

"Your still milking that.." He stared at her with a smirk.

"Hey, I'm just telling you what the lady told me. She's gonna be a strong headed little girl...like her father." He chuckled.

"You mean like her mother..." (Y/N) slapped his chest as he kissed her lips.

"Call me for anything, okay?"

"Okay." She put his coat on him before he turn around to look her straight in the eye.

" I love you."

"I love you, too." He pecked her lips one more time with his hand on her stomach before saying goodbye, she watched him get in the car and she waved blowing him a kiss before he pulled off to go to work.

She groaned lowly feeling another cramp coming on but it went away a second later, she sighed rubbing her belly before walking inside and closing the door behind her.

It was close to midnight, when tommy was in a meeting with alfie and the russians. He stared between alfie and the short russian man as they talked he could feel another set of eyes on him, he glanced over at tatiana who was looking at him with a small smile before her gazed turned back to the two men. Thomas watched the two man finally shake hands making him get up and settle on an agreement, alfie and tommy was talking when tatiana walked up to them.

"Gentlemen." She glanced at both of them but her eyes lingered on tommy a little bit longer, they nodded toward her before watching her walk away with her uncle.

"It seems like someone has a little crush on you." Alfie says glancing back at tommy, thomas rolled his eyes.

"I don't do crazy russians." Tommy mutters walking out of the room with alfie by his side.

"No, you like them headstrong and...exotic." Thomas side eyed alfie before taking out the cigarette from his mouth.

"Alfie-"

"Speaking of headstrong and exotic, how's that ebony goddess you have hiding away?" Alfie asked.

"You mean my pregnant wife...she's fine." Tommy looked over at the amused look on alfie's face at the mention of (y/n) pregnancy.

"Mazel tov." He said patting tommy on the back before he headed towards his car, "I hope we get to talk soon about business." Tommy nodded before stepping back as alfie drive off, tommy flicked his cig to the ground before heading towards his own car.

He pulled up to his home seeing the lights off, he sighed getting out and walking to the door. He quietly sneaked inside closing the door behind the him, he slowly started pulling off his coat and cap before making his way to his office.

He rubbed his neck walking into his office to found his wife waiting on the couch looking out the window, "(y/n), what are you doing in here you should in bed." he walked over to his wife and sat down next to her.

"Where were you?" she looked over at him.

"In a meeting...why? what's wrong?" she sniffles looking over at tommy with misty eye.

"So, no one told you what happened then..." tommy shook his head looking worried, he reached for her hand only for her to moved it away,

"No, what is going on (y/n) your... your scaring me." he moved closer he noticed that (y/n) didn't move away so he moved his hand on top of hers, she started crying and moving her head to his shoulder.

"I lost the baby..." she cries into his shoulder, thomas sat there frozen in place as his wife cried.

"i'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." Tommy snapped out of his dazed, he wrapped his arms around his wife and held her tight.

"It's not your fault...you didn't know." (y/n) shook her head.

"I should have listened to you...I should have-"

"No, its not your fault...I know it's not your fault." Thomas planted kiss on her head, he closed his eyes trying to keep his tears at bay.

"W-We get through this...we will...I promise we will." his voice cracked moving her curls out of her face, she hooked her arms around tommy's neck causing him to moved his arm under legs picking her up and carrying her to their bedroom.

He laid her down before moving to removed his clothes, he slide into bed hesitating if he should hold her or not. He choose the latter and laid in bed staring at the ceiling, he griped the covers in pain trying to contain his anger and sadness. He tried to go to sleep but every time he closed his eyes he sees a little girl with (y/n) beautiful skin and wild hair, and his eyes...thomas opened his eyes as tears poured down his face, he took a shaky breathe trying to deal with the lost in silent.

"...Tommy." he turned to look at the back of (y/n)'s head.

"Yea?"

"Can you hold me." she whispered, he closed his eyes for a second before opening them again, he moved closer to her slinging his arm over spooning her. He kissed her shoulder making her sighed.

"....I was gonna name her Martha...if it was girl." he smiled.

"If it was a boy?" he asked.

"I was thinking...daniel...daniel is a good name."

"I love them both." she turned around looking at him.

"Maybe we can try again...a year for now maybe." he nods.

"I love you, (y/n)" he says drawing circles on her soft skin.

"I love you too, tommy." he pulled her into his arm resting his head on top of hers, they fell asleep in the embrace.

When the morning came (y/n) woke up by herself, she decided to stay in bed not feeling up to moving, she laid there in thought until she heard the door opened revealing charlie still in his pajamas.

"Mommy, can I stay with you." (Y/N) looked over at him before smiling and opening her arms, she watched him come over and climbed on the bed. He climbed into her lap and wrapping his arms around his neck burying his face in her should.

"My sweet baby." she smiled kissing him on the cheek, she rest her head on top of his head. The door opened again revealing Tommy walking in seeing his wife and son cuddled up in the bed.

He walked over to the side of her bed, she scoot over giving him space to take a seat. He pulled a box from his coat and gave it to (y/n).

"What's this?" she opened it with charlie still in her lap, she pulled out a bracelet with cute charms scatter all over the chain.

"A little gift...to give you hope and protection." she looked at the charms seeing a M and D making her smile.

"This is beautiful, babe. Thank you." he kissed her cheek before kissing his son head, he took off his coat throwing over a chair and then his vast and his shirt.

"Your not going into the betting shop, today?" he shook his head.

"I want to stay home with you and our son." he went under the covers scooting closer to her.

"A lazy day in the shelby household...that's the first." she smile.

"First of many." he said making her giggle, she slide the bracelet on before settling in bed with charlie in the middle.

Thomas watched his wife and son play with his toy cars that (y/n) kept in her drawer just in case he lose his other ones, even through he lost a part of himself and (y/n) yesterday he had to stay strong for his wife. But, seeing his love and son made the pain suppress just for now...right now he just want to forget...because looking at her and he vow he give her the life he promised her when he got on one knee.

(Y/N) watched as her daughter ran around the playground, she nervously tapped the letter in her hand on her lap as she waited for tommy arrival. The sudden feeling to runaway creep its way into her chest, she let out a huffed of air trying to calm her nerves. She leaned forward planting her elbows in her thighs as her hands hold her face, she wondered if he ever thought about her after so long of being apart.

The last time they saw eachother was at the train station where him and his brothers were being drafted to france, she remembered the looks people gave her as they held hands. The memory of him close to her whispering sweet nothings making her giggled and smile, she wished it didn't have to end she wished they could run away from it.

"Let me take a good look at you." He says stepping back still holding her hands, he stared at her with adoration top to bottom burning the beautiful siren in his head for safe keeping, but unknown to him (y/n) is doing the same thing memorizing his soft eyes and his bright smile.

The train whistled causing (y/n) dry eyes to become misty again, Thomas gave her a small smile pulling her into a tight hug.

"Come back to me, okay?" He nods rubbing her back, she sniffled trying to blink away the tears. He sighed pulling away stating into her eyes, he caressed her cheeks before locking their lips. The whistled blow again causing the lovers to pull away and rest their heads on one another trying to let this moment last a little bit longer, he place a kiss on her lips one more time before pulling away.

"Hey, you don't need to cry and wanna know why." He says removing her tears with his thumb.

"Why." She sniffled again moving her coils out of her face.

"Because I'm planning on bugging you for a long, long, long time until we're old and wrinkly." He smiled seeing her laugh making his heart feel warm.

"Until YOUR old and wrinkly this face is never gonna age." She smirked making him chuckled at her response.

"Lucky me." She rolled her eyes glancing down at their entwine hands.

"I love you, (y/n)." She closed her eyes in pain.

"I love you too, tommy." He pecked her cheek and lips before pulling his hand away, she held her hands togther tightly watching him follow his brothers on the train. The train slowly started to move when she let out a chuckle waving as he waved at her through the window blowing kisses, she pretend that she caught them and placing them over her heart. The man who held her heart soon disappeared from her sights causing her heart to clenched, she was pulled away by Ada and her sister back to the car to go home.

It wasn't that long she found out that she was pregnant with her little girl, her mother was disappointed that she falled pregnant but angry when she realized it belonged to tommy shelby. Which brought her a train ticket out of watery lane, (y/n) didn't tell anyone of the women wanting tommy to meet their daughter first when the war was over. It wasn't until two months past, when she got a letter from Ada telling her the horrific news she been dreading for weeks.

(Y/N) was in her room rereading some of the letters tommy sent to her to pass the time, the last letter he wrote told her he was assigned to be a tunneler so he wouldn't be writing to her for a bit. Her heart clenched in her chest, now every day she has to live with unbearable doubt if her lover is alive or dead.

A knock came from her door causing (y/n) to put down the letter on the nightstand and open the door, "You got mail." A bright smile plastered over her face taking the envelope out of her sister hand, she didn't waste time in ripping open the envelope.

Her eyes scanned through the letter reading what Ada wrote not tommy, she frown a little reading Ada's rambling. The words didn't make sense she couldn't understand half the words the girl was writing, (y/n) blinked at the last paragraph on the letter.

"(Y/N)? You alright?" (y/n) didn't her sister's concerning voice as she started to take deep breathe as she stared at the letter.

"(Y/N)." Her sisters came up to her as she ripped the paper apart, she broke down crying into her older sister shoulder.

"His gone, his gone, his gone..." she mutters crying, her sisters held her looking at each other with sorrowful looks.

(Y/N) rubbed her face thinking back at the horrible memory, she had a choice to go back to watery lane and raised her child with the Ada and Polly deciding against it. She didn't want to be surrounded by so many memories of tommy, it was selfish keeping the family away from the only thing that had left of him and moved to the london. But, then she found out he wasn't died like she thought and was now a gangster, news of the peaky blinders traveled fast especially when he started burning pictures and paintings of the king.

She was hesitant opening the letter addressed to her from tommy when it made its way to her doorstep, he explain why he didn't come found her after the war and how he wanted to meet their daughter. That worried her even through tommy made it clear in his letter his doing legitimate business now, but that didn't mean he still didn't have enemies who want to see him and his family dead.

"Hey." (Y/N) snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see tommy standing next to her, he looked so different the last time she saw him.

"Hello." She greeted scooting over on the bench as tommy took a seat next to her.

They sat there in silence, (Y/N) glanced over to him to see him looking at the playground his eyes searching for his daughter.

"She's the one in the black boots and brown coat." She utters looking back at her daughter playing on the merry-go-round.

"She's beautiful." He said softly, she looked back at him curious.

"How did you found me?"

"Last year, I hired someone to look for you." Her eyes harden turning her body towards tommy.

"That was you." She said angry.

"I needed to see you–" He said desperately.

"He scared the hell out of us, did you know he was talking to her? Or that he was lurking around my house." Thomas let out a exhausted sighed before nodding.

"For fuck sakes, tommy."

"That's wasn't his intention or mines." (Y/N) huffed out irritated, when she first saw the guy at her daughter's school she thought he was a parent. But, then she saw him in the neighborhood, at the market where she shop even standing in the building she worked.

"I'm sorry that I scared you two. I'm really am." His hand laid on top of hers squeezing it, she gently rubbed her thumb on his palm tracing circles.

"Listen why don't you and..." (y/n) said their daughter name causing a light in thkmas's eyes to brighten.

"Why don't you two come over and have dinner with me and my son," (Y/N) looked over at her daughter thinking about it.

"I don't know tommy, all this will be too much for her. Finding out her father is alive and that she got a brother, she going to have questions that I can't answer." Tommy cold hand held her warm cheek turning her head towards him.

"I know and I will answers them as much as I can, but for now I am a friend inviting another friend and her daughter to dinner." She sighed accepting the invitation.

"Would you like to met her?" He smiled nodding, they both got up and walked over to her at the swings.

"Hey, pumpkin. This is tommy his an old friend of mines." The little girl sat on the swing looking at the grown man.

"Nice to meet you, sir." She nod to him, he chuckled tipping his cap.

"Nice to meet you, young lady." Tommy pointed at the swing next to her.

"Mind if I join you." The little girl nodded again, Thomas looked over at (y/n) before taking the spot on the swing to his daughter.

(Y/N) watched as Thomas and her daughter swing togther, she smiled as her daughter sparked up an conversation with tommy. Thomas isn't surprised his daughter was a very bright young girl, it's obvious she got that from her mother and himself. He glanced at (y/n) to see her watching them with a smile, his chest grew warm being here with her again. He hope that (y/n) will found it in her to take him back and do what he promised he do when he came back from war, because can't imagine a future without (y/n) in it.

• John and the reader had a small outside wedding, the sun was near setting as the reader was with her mother getting ready feeling  giddy as she dtared at herself in the mirror.

• John on the other was shitting bricks as he tries to calm his nerves, he glanced around seeing his children for once behaving themselves.

• As he stood away from everyone behind the tree, he took sips of alcohol to help making him a bit buzzed but not enough for him to be all over the place.

• "Hi, John." John coughed glancing behind to see lizzie stark staring at her.

• "Lizzie–Hey." He looked her up and down, before looking around for Polly or Ada.

• The reader knew that John and lizzie had a thing, and as much she love and trusted John. She didn't trust him enough to be left alone with lizzie, even though shes married to his brother.

• "Your looking nice." She smiled slyly walking closer to him, John knows he shouldn't be talking to her but the buzzed part of his brain that held some fond memories of them togther said otherwise.

• "Thank you. You look beautiful by the way." He says making lizzie blush, lizzie had her hand on John's chest as she moved closer to him as his hands landed in her waist.

• "Come here, you fool." Polly hissed coming out of nowhere grabbing John by the ear shoving passed lizzie, John groaned in pain as he was being dragged away by polly.

• "For fuck sake, pol. I wasn't doing anything." He glares at her as she stood him by the alter.

• "Not yet you werent I swear you and your brothers are just un fucking believable." She swears walking away before telling Ada to keep a eye on John.

• It didn't take long for polly to tell the reader what happened, and didn't take long for the reader to want to kill and bury lizzie and john.

• Against her mother wishes to call off the wedding, the reader kept her head high and walked down the aisle with her father.

• John was starstruck when he saw her come out with her long white gown, but  when he made eye contract with her he knows that polly told her about lizzie.

• The sudden feeling of dread filled his stomach as he stared warily at her, her face is calm but her eyes held blazing hellfire causing him to gulp.

• "You look gorgeous, my love." He whispered standing next to her, she glanced at him before at the priest again as he speaks.

• "Mmmhmm." John sighed defeated, only he pissed off his fiance soon to be wife on their wedding day.

• In a blink if an eye, the ceremony was over and the party was in full swing. The tension everyone felt didn't last long after they started to serve drinks, John was talking to some people when he heard his wife laughing.

• His face dropped seeing the reader laughing and dancing with bonnie gold, he watched as her smiled widen as he spin her around his arms.

• John glared clenching his jaw moving to grab the champagne bottle next to him to kill gold when tommy stopped him, and tried to calm him down.

• "Take a walk, John." Tommy said sternly patting his brother on the back, John had the bottle snatched out of his grip by his brother as he walked away still staring at them dancing.

• John angrily watched from his seat at the table with a cigarette between his fingers, lizzie sat next to him trying to get his attention but was ignored as he watched his wife have a good time.

• He perked up seeing the reader excused herself walking away from the dance floor, john got up midway of lizzie talking following his wife.

• "I shouldn't even let you touch me, after what pol told me." The reader whispered, John groaned in her neck as he felt how wet she was.

• "We were just talking, it meant nothing." He muffled in her neck kissing and biting her making her moan lowly, he could feel her squeezing around his fingers.

• "She means nothing to me." He moved a strand of hair put of her face peppering her with kisses, "Nothing," John unbuckled his trousers pushing them down to his thighs.

The museum was half empty when (y/n) walked out of her office, she smiled at some of the guest as she headed towards the roaring 20s display that just opened up. She stop at the entrance of the exhibit feeling her phone vibrant in her back pocket.

"Hello, my love." She says continuing on inside and have a look see to make sure everything is in order.

"Hey, baby. I'm outside, are you ready?" John said sitting in his black rolls-royce cullinan just coming from work, (y/n) hummed jointing down something on her clip board as she looked at a picture.

"Not exactly. Hey, do you mind coming in I want to show you something." John furrowed his brows confused and curious before responding, he got out and headed up the stairs of the museum.

He adjust his suit jacket as he walked inside, he walked around seeing all the different arts and historical artifacts scattered everywhere.

"John." (Y/N) calls out making him smile and gaze at her, she looked beautiful her hair was twisted up half down and other half in a bun on her head. (Y/N) was dressed in black jeans and a white dress shirt with a loose tie around her collar, he came up to her pulling her into a kiss.

"What you wanted to show me?" He asked, (Y/N) was so dazed she almost forgot what she wanted to show him.

"Uhhhh, it's this picture I wanted to show in this new exhibit we just opened." She linked their hands togther pulling him to the display, she brought him over to a display with pictures.

"...recognize anyone?" She said watching look at the pictures, John stared and shrugged.

"Should I?" (Y/N) shoulders slumped as she leaned forward and pointed at a picture of three men.

"Uh, yeah. You and your brothers doppelgängers." John scoffed moving closer to get a better look before shaking his head.

"Those blokes don't look anything like me or tommy and arthur. Who are they anyways. " (Y/N) looked down before flipping theough some papers before finding the number.

"We don't have any of their names, but we do know that they called themselves the peaky blinders." John rolled his eyes before straighten up.

"Sounds like something Netflix would make into a movie."

"Or TV show." John laughed moving his arm around her shoulder pulling her in for another kissed.

They finally left the museum and headed home.

"Do we have everything for tonight?" (Y/N) asked staring at her phone as she answered some emails.

"The cupboard is stocked with all our favorite treats." John smiled looking at the road, (Y/N) nodded

"Good you don't want laila throwing a fit, when she doesn't have her jaffa cakes." John chuckled, as they pulled around the corner almost to come home.

(Y/N) was flicking through HBO Max trying to find a appropriate movie to watch, john and (Y/N)'s middle child walked in the living room pushing her glasses further her nose.

"I thought we decided to find a movie togther." Talia asked taking a seat at the end of the couch.

"Yeah, well I didn't want to spend the better half of a hour arguing so I'm picking the movie." She said taking a seat next to talia, (Y/N) finally picked a movie and waited for the others to get down stairs. Laila was the first to come down stairs and make her way next to her mother, (Y/N) turned her head over to the stairs hearing shouting coming from her oldest and husband.

"You can't tell me who I can and can not date, I'm 17 not a child." Imani shouted walking down stairs with her father hot on her tail, John was red in the face as he shouted back at her.

"The hell I can your leaving under my roof, eating my food, and texting your friends and loser boyfriend on the phone I paid for with my money." (Y/N) and the girls watched as the two shout at each other, (Y/N) would get involved but she learned to CIO with both of them.

Both John and Imani were two peas in the pod sharing the same traits of gutsy and charming, she knows that they tired themselves out and hug at the end.

"His not a loser–" she shouted back.

"He is a loser, and his a dead beat and..." he looked over at his wife and daughters, "his TWICE your age." He growled looking back at Imani.

"His twenty-three, calm down." She put her hand up making him clench his jaw getting more pissed.

"You know how about we postpone movie night until tomorrow, yeah?" (Y/N) said cutting through their argument.

"No, we're having movie night." John crossed his arms moving over to the couch, Imani moved her braids over her shoulder before crossing her arms.

"I'll passed...I'm not in the mood anymore." She said snarkly turning around and stalking back to her room.

"Imani! Get back here." (Y/N) stopped John from going after her, he looked over at her as she looked back at the girls.

"Why don't you head up to bed." The girls looked at each before walking passed their parents to their rooms, John shook his head heading over to the kitchen to fix himself a drink.

(Y/N) walked after him watching him gulp the first brown liquor down, before fixing himself another with a scrowl on his face.

"I'm telling you this now I'm not holding your hair tomorrow morning." John looked up giving her a look, before putting the bottle back in the cabinet.

John walked past (Y/N) to their share room leaving (Y/N) to put away all their snacks they had scattered on the coffee table, she shut off the lights and headed to her room to find John already in his boxers.

(Y/N) grabbed a scarf from her draw and wrapped it around her head, she slid into bed next to John as he looked at his tablet.

"It's kinda ironic how you giving Imani grief about the age difference between her and her boyfriend, when we started out the same." John didn't look up from his tablet when he spoke.

"That was different we were in love..." he looked over at her with a glint making her stare at him with smile, "They are not...she thinks she loves him." (Y/N) sighed.

"You know she's gonna keep dating him now just to piss you off, right?" John shrugged setting down his tablet on the night stand, (Y/N) watched as he laid down in bed facing her.

"Let's see how long that last when I stop paying her phone bill." (Y/N) let out a muffled laugh burying her face in the covers, John pulled (Y/N) closer kissing her on the nose.

"They grow up so fast don't they..." she whispered.

"Yes, they do. I hope the girls love me enough not to pull something like this..." He mumbled.

"Laila is still young and a daddy's girl so you still have that to hold on too," she sighs.

"...and talia is a bookworm who is wouldn't look twice at a guy for well so I think the cards are in your favor." She smiled.

"Yeah, true but y'know when they do realize it, maybe we can try again." John says gazing her flat stomach, (Y/N) rolled her eyes.

"That's the alcohol talking–"

"No, it's really not I'm serious. It be nice to have a baby around again."

"Boy for who? You didn't change not one dirty napkin," John chuckled.

"It be different this time, the business is booming I can start to work for home to help out." (Y/N) stared at him in thought, she was young when she had Imani and not a year later they had talia. John and his brothers were just getting their businesses off the ground during that time, and (Y/N) was in her last year of uni when she found out about Laila.

So, long hours and spending nights working made it hard for John to spend time with her and the girls, so maybe trying again and giving him a chance do the kids he couldn't do with the girls would be nice.

"I'll pray on it." She chuckled moving her arm under her pillow and closing her eyes, John had a twinkle in his eyes before scooting closer wrapping his arms around her.

The sound of the alarm clock woke you making you slam your hand against it to shut it off but that didn't get you to get out of bed just yet, the big bear you called a husband next to you shuffled in bed as he leans over to you and pressed multiple kisses on your back and shoulder just waking up.

"Morning, pet." He whispered before kissing your cheek, the smile that spread across your face made you crack one eye open and turn your head slightly to kiss his lips.

"Morning." Alfie patted your butt before getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom, you closed your eyes again trying to go back to sleep before being force to get up soon.

You listened out hearing the toilet flushing and the sink turning on and off made you continue relaxing, she heard alfie grunt as he walked out of the bathroom and back to bed she perked up as he pulled her into him by her waist.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?" She asked.

"I'm the boss. I'll get there when I choose to." She chuckled lowly as she felt him melts into her, she sighed in bliss she loved mornings like these with alfie where they just laid there not saying a word just melting into each other. It's crazy how life turned out for her one minute shes' fucking men for money now she's working in her own bakery and married to camden most notorious gangster, a life she never imagined having but here she was with him enjoying this beautiful quiet morning.

The voice of their oldest daughter, Dinah voice boomed through out the room causing both alfie and you to cringe as more footsteps ran down the hall to your room.

"Mama! Papa! I want pancakes."

"And I want bacon and eggs."

The shouts of the twins made you bury your face into your pillow as you just wanted quiet morning little bit longer, she sat up hearing a painful grunt coming from alfie seeing the little boy and girl crawling on their father's back before sliding off to get into my lap.

"Alf? You okay, babe." His face was buried in his pillow muffling his words, "what?" she says leaning closer to him.

"...fuckin peachy." He grunts out making her give him a small mock pout as she rubbed his back, he twisted onto his back before huffing like a bear he is and looking up at the ceiling as she put ella and david on the bed.

"Do you want me to do that thing that help with the pain?" She asked getting out of bed and going to his side, he looked at her up and down slowly before a small grin made its way onto his face as dirty thoughts ran through his head.

"Oh, darlin not with the kids around." He mutters making you glare at him with a small smile.

"...you guys are gross." Dinah says disgusted before walking out of the room, alfie's index finger trailed its way slowly against your warm thigh making you slap it away gently.

"Stop that," She whispered rolling her eyes when alfie laugh.

"What? We could start on baby number 6." He grins slowly sitting up making me back up a bit.

"Let the one brewing in my belly form first before we start talking about baby number 6." I watched him get off the bed before looking down at her with his hands on her hips.

"I told you when I married ya I wanted a litter of them, didnt i." I let out a mocked laughed making him give her a toothy grin.

"Not that I could recall." I say as him massage my hips, the twins throw their arm around alfie's shoulder as he got up making them giggle as they cling to the man.

"Why don't you take the munchkins to get ready for the day, well I wake the beast from his cave." Alfie nodded giving me a peck before you moved to kiss the twins on their cheeks.

They walked out of the room with you watching as alfie held both twins over his shoulder to the their room well you walk to your oldest, I knocked before peaking my head insides my son's room to found him still asleep, I smiled a little as I make my way inside and take a seat on the edge of his bed. I ran my hand through his silk brown hair stirring him, he turned towards me with his face against his pillow as he crack open one eye.

"What time is it?" He croaked out.

"A little before seven fifty." He groaned as he closed his eyes again.

"...give me five more minutes." He mutters drifting back to sleep, I moved my hand from his hair making him frown a little.

"Okayyyy, but I have to warn you, your father is making pancakes." I song getting up he groaned knowing that if he didn't get down stairs before his father finish cooking he only be left with scraps of bacon and sausage.

"...I'll be down in a minute." He sighed pulling the covers over his head, I giggled before walking out and going back to my room to get dress for the day.

I finished doing my hair with the curling iron before sliding on my black step in pumps, I looked in the mirror one last time as I fix my black bow brooch tie before walking out. I saw that Joseph's room door was left opened i looked inside not seeing him, I closed the door before making my wsy downstairs with the rest of the family.

"Good morning, family." I said walking over to the coffee pot on the stove, my childern spoke over each other as they wish me a good morning. A hand went to my waist as I pulled out a coffee cup and sat it down next to the stove, Alf got a cup from the same cabinet placing it next to my mug waiting for me to pour him some coffee.

"I saved ya a plate." He said lifting the plate from behind his back towards me making me smile in appreciation.

"Ah, thank you, my love." I took the plate of his hand and laid it on the island behind us, he was press to my side like a fly on honey staring at me.

"Can I help you, Mr. Solomon." I asked lifting the mug to my lips taking a sip as I look at him.

"Nope just waiting for my thank you kiss." I raised my brow at the man.

"Thank you kiss?" I asked, he nodded as his hand on my waist made me come closer as his hip leaned against the counter.

"Yea, I basically had to beat those heathens off with a stick to save ya food, I think I deserve a little kiss don't ya think." He said tilting his head to the side with a grin making me smile behind my mug as I thought about it, I held my mug as I set on the counter before leaning in with alfie doing the same and brush my lips against his only for a second.

"...mwah, there you go, happy." I smiled at him as he narrow his eyes at me.

"What was that?"

"That was a kiss." He scoffed.

"You called that a kiss?" He asked crossing his arms.

"You said you wanted a little kiss, so I gave you a little kiss." I shrugged before turning towards my plate of food.

"Don't play, (y/n). Give me a real kiss." I rolled my eyes as I put down my half eaten bacon and turned back to my husband who had his arms open for me, I stepped into his hold putting my arms around his neck and giving him his kiss. A large gasped left my lips when alfie dipped me making one arms go around my waist and one if his hands to take hold my butt making me smile against his lips, his lips moved away from my lips to my neck causing me to laugh loudly as he bites and suck on my neck where I'm ticklish.

"Mum! Dad! The bus is here. " Joseph call out, making alfie pull me straight up I smiled widely at him as I slap his chest for that stunt he pulled causing him to laugh whole heartily. Alfie followed behind me with coffee in hand as we walked Joseph and Dinah outside where the bus came up in front of house, we peppered them with kisses before letting go and watching them ran up to the bus and get in I waved one last time as the bus drove away before reaching in my skirt pocket and taking out the car keys that I brought myself a long time ago.

"I'll see you after work, my beloved." I said as Alfie walked me and the kids to the car.

"See ya after work....you two be good for your mum, now." Alfie says before binding down as the twins nodded planting kisses on his cheek as they hug him making me smile.

"I love you." I said when he stood up straight making him look at me starstruck as if I never said those three words to him before every morning.

"I love you too, lovely." I unlock the door and buckle the twins in with alfie help before Alf opened my door. I took his hand as I got into the drivers seat he shut the door before leaning his head in kissing my lips for a minute.

"...have a safe drive." He whispered pulling away a bit to look into my eyes.

"I will...," he smile but I could see he was still a bit worried that I didn't have his men to drive me, but I made it clear long ago that I could take it with his men being at the bakery but to drive me around was too much. He nod before he patted the roof of the car as I put the key in the ignition, the kids bid their dad a goodbye as I started to pull out of the drive way he waved as he stood in his same spot. I smiled at him one last time before driving down the road of our street to the bakery.

Ella and David sat in one of the four tables in the shop drawing when I was talking to a customer, I slide the pie towards to the woman with a smile as she thanked me and walked out. I looked over at the time seeing it was almost time for the kids to get out of school, my head turned to the swinging doors where Rosie came out with more fresh bake goods.

"Hey, I got a new batch and there a man in the back that need you to sign some papers." She said putting the cookies in the bakery case.

"Alright, I'll be back." I wrapped my hands on my apron before going to the back and walking past my two other employees, the man turned with a clipboard I smiled at the familiar face and take the pen out of his hand as I sighed my signature on my supplies.

"Thanks, Mrs. Solomon. See you next week. " He tipped his hat towards me.

"See you next week, simon." I smiled as his men put the bag of flour in their usual spot as I go back in the front of the shop, as I walked out of the back dinah and joe walked through the door.

"Hey, how was school." I asked walking up to them and give me a hug.

"Great! My teacher was out so we didn't have to take her test today." Joe said happy as he walked behind the counter with his sister sitting down their backpack.

"Luck you."

"I know right." He said with wide smile making his sister roll her eyes.

"And that's wasn't the best part of the day, a boy in my class got in a fight with a kid a year above us and he won. It was unbelievable." He said ecstatic.

"Well, it's good to see you a great day, how about you dinah how was your day." I asked looking at the little girl who took tied her hair in the back before putting on her apron.

"It was alright I got a A on my science test and got the part of wendy in the peter pan play." I squeal pulling her in a hug.

"I always knew you could do it, baby." I kissed the top of her head still holding her, "I can't wait for all of us to go watch it." Joe groaned.

"Do we all have to–"

"Yes." I cut him off making him scrowl softly, as I let her go the bell to my shop ring.

"Welcome to Lovelie's Bakery, what can I–" I turned towards the door before stopping and seeing who it was.

"I knew it was you, you haven't change a bit." I looked at the person speechless.

"Mum? Who is that?" Joseph asked making the lady look at her son, I could see the gears in her head as she study my son and daughter who was next to me.

"She's...she's um..." I couldn't come up with words to tell my son.

"I'm an old friend...she and my husband were old acquaintances, isn't that right?" Lizzie asked looking at me with a wry look making me roll my eyes.

"Hey, Rosie. Can you take the kids in the back and get started on the cookies." I asked my friend she looked at the woman and back at me nodding as she walked over to the twin.

"Come on, guys. Let make some Christmas cookies." I watched as they shouted in excitement and drag her to the doors, dinah followed right behind leaving Joe to still stand by my side. I put a hand on his back making him look at me.

"I'll be fine, go." I motion to the door with my head making him glance at the woman and nod before walking in the back as I watched.

"Their beautiful...the boy looks like his father." My eyes snapped back to her with a vacant look.

"How old is he? He looks like he a bit younger than charlie–" lizzie looked taken back when I cut her off.

"What the hell are you doing here." I asked coming from behind the counter and standing in front of her.

"I was in the area and thought I could go for a cookie." I scrowl taking a step closer to her as she taunt me.

"It's really not a good idea to mock the wife of a gangster in his territory." I glared as she put her hands up.

"I didn't come in here to fight." I scoffed crossing my arms.

"Then why are you here." I asked impatient, she shrugged sighing before moving some hair out of her face.

"I don't know I saw you from across the way and then I saw your kids, and I just–I guess wanted to see if any of them belong to Tommy. " She said.

"Lucky for you and me, none of them are, so." I held up my arm up motioning towards the door.

"How could you be sure?" She asked stepping closer making me look her up and down.

"His still cheating on you." I stated she didn't say anything making me sigh.

" I haven't seen Tommy or been to small heath in over seven years, and I'm not the type of woman to cheat on my man." I let my arms fall to my side, lizzie nodded looking down onto the floor.

"You know you were his favorite. After Grace, he somehow found his way to you and he found you special, why?..." She asked looking up at me I didn't notice earlier but a bit of her mascara was smudge under her eyes as if she was crying earlier today, I wiped my face looking over at the doors behind me before turning back to her.

"Ask him. I let you overstay your welcome long enough, now leave." I turned to walk away when I felt her hand wrap around my forearm.

"This will not last your perfect life...he will get bored they eventually do, and hopefully you feel the same heartache and misery you caused me." I snapped my arm out of her grip and glared at her.

"Let go of me before your husband found your body floating in the–" I shut my mouth when the door creaked.

"Mum? Eveything's alright." Joseph asked.

"Yea, my old friend was just leaving." I turned back to lizzie with a agitated smile, she gave a tight lipped one back before backing up and leaving out of the shop, i huffed rubbing my head before turning and stirring my son back to the kitchen.

When I got home I didn't tell Alf about the visit from mrs.shelby, neither did the kids especially since they could tell that something wasn't right when I came back into the kitchen. Even though i know lizzie was chatting shit it still planted a seed of doubt in me I know Alf and I know he loves me, but his eyes likes to wonder to other woman when we go out and we always laugh about it when I catch him. It's our thing. I trust alfie and he trust me. That what makes our marriage work.

"We be back around midnight." I told Ollie, he nods as he followed me around the house as I told him what the kids can and can not have well we're away.

"If they get hungry we have left over meatloaf in the oven." Alfie was already in the car waiting, I turned over to the sitting room to see the kids lounging.

"Alright." He said as I kept looking at them, alfie was invited to this function by one of his associates and brought me along to distract from boring rich people talk.

" You don't have to worry (y/n), they in safe hands." I turned to Ollie giving him a sweet smile.

"I know they are." I squeezed his arm before stepping closer to the living room.

"I'm going...be good for Ollie, alright." They mumbled a yes before going back to what they were doing before entered the room, I rolled my eyes smiling one more time at Ollie before walking out to the car.

"I don't think asking Ollie to watch the kids was a good idea, you know the twins can smell weakness." I giggled as I link my hand to alfie free one, we were driving out of london to the countryside.

"That's why I told Rosie to drop by when she close the shop to make sure everything's okay." Alfie shook his head.

"...still playing cupid I see." I shrugged a little before looking out the window.

"She likes him and he likes her, I don't see the harm in interfering." She heard alfie snort, we stayed quiet as the music on the radio played through the car, after an hour and half we finally pulled up to a nice-looking mansion.

"...rich pricks." I heard alfie whispered as he tried founding a space to park the car, he got out swiftly before opening my door i smiled at him as he grabbed my hand helping me out. I hook my arm around his own and started walking up the steps the door was opened by an old white man, he stepped aside letting us in as people stood around mingling.

"Remember we only here to show face and get the hell out, okay?" I nodded as I took a glass from a tray before drinking it, the night was spent being pulled left to right by alfie as associates of his introduced him to their friends. I was on my sixth glass when we were brought to the drawing room, a bunch of people was standing near the fireplace when we came up to them.

"Alfie this is Oswald and his wife diana...." I looked up and see a man with mustache standing straight as if he as a stick up his ass, he bend his head down a bit greeting.

"How do you do." He said, he glanced over to me for a second before looking away, I didn't take no offense I know how his kind is. Alfie nod back not saying a word.

"...and you already know Mr. Shelby and his wife." I turned my head a bit looking for a waiter, I wasn't going to pay them no mind especially Thomas I just hoped that his whore kepts a muzzle on about what happened–.

"Hello, (y/n). It's good to see you again." Lizzie said, I look at her giving her a quick smile before looking away.

"How the kids?" She asked, I could feel alfie's eyes burning the side of my head.

"Their fine." I said again, I smiled again when the waiter took my empty glass and gave me new one.

"That's good maybe we could do a little play date with the–" I gave her a uninterested look as alfie spoke up.

"Hold on, now darling. When did you two..." he waved a finger between me and lizzie, "...meet?" He asked looking at me, I let out a nervous laugh shrugging.

"Oh, that it was weeks ago." He narrowed his eyes at me before glancing over at Thomas who was watching us.

"Did you know anything about this?" Thomas took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Lizzie mentioned it." I rolled my eyes as I downed my drink.

"Funny. Because me own wife didnt." He said.

"It slipped my mind." I refrained myself as the others were watching us, I could tell that lizzie was eating this up so I calmed myself down and grabbed his hand so he could do the same.

"Alfie let's talk about this later." I whispered looking him in the eye trying to get him to see that I didn't want to argue, but he wanst having it.

"I think I want to talk about it now." He said gruffly, I gave him a look as he glared at me.

"Alfie–" I stressed glancing at the prying eyes.

"What? Am I embarrassing you in front of your little boyfriend." He said heated, I looked at him eyes widen in shock.

"You know what..." I let out a deep breathe, " I can't talk to you when your like this so I'm going to the restroom." I grabbing my clutch from the table.

"Come found me when your in the right head space, okay, Alfred." I glowered walking past him and away from the group, after taking a break and hiding out in the bathroom for a good twelve minutes I think that gave me and alfie enough time to gather ourself. I was finishing wiping my hands with the towel when someone knocked on the door I walked over thinking it was alfie

"Hello." I furrowed seeing oswald mosley standing at the door.

" Mr. Mosley–" he cut me off with a wave of his hand.

"Call me Oswald." I looked over his shoulder for anyone as he made me back up back into the bathroom I watch him shut the door.

"You know when lizzie told me you used to be a whore, I couldn't help but be intrigued..." I watched him closely as he walked closer to me.

"I never been with a woman of your complexion before I always heard your kind tasted divine," he said undressing me with his eyes, a bit of bile came up making me gag mentally.

"Whatever that gutter trash told you I don't do that anymore." I shut down.

"Not even for the right amount of cash, you know I have it. Especially with how my political party is going." He said proudful.

"I rather eat glass and I didn't take you for a man with taste." He chuckled at my comment with a small smile.

"And why is that?" I shrugged as I walked around him.

"Well, I heard from the grapevine that you like to keep it in the family, mr.mosley." He face turned sour causing me smile innocent at him.

"Rumors." He rolled his eyes.

"Of course, they are..." I said patronizing, before he could grab hold of me I clocked him in the nose causing him to fall to the ground.

"You have balls I can give you that, but let this be a lesson to you." I said throwing down the towel I was once holding on the floor near him for his bloody nose.

"Never corner a women like this ever again." He was slowly getting up when I landed a kick to his stomach causing him groan again and collapse back to the ground.

"Oh, yeah one more thing...your cause is shit." I turned on my heels and threw open the door and stalked out leaving that pathetic excuse of a man in agony.

I was looking in my clutch when I ran into Tommy, he held my arms to keep me from stumbling.

"Where's the fire?" He asked glancing at me, I shrugged his hands off me and walked around him.

"Will you fuck off." I hissed at Tommy as he blocked my way, "It's bad enough I was drooled on my a fascist pig, I don't want to be around you of all people right now." He looked taken back at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking at me.

"I'm good but your friend on the other hand is not." I pushed my hair over my shoulder.

"His not my friend."

"Whatever. I need to find alfie." He still didn't move making me glare at him.

"Seriously, shelby you need to get out of my way." I snapped growing impatient.

"Did you know how much it cost to get you out of there..." he asked, I gave him a blank look as the though of punching him was playing on my mind.

"Is that a rhetorical question orrr..."

"Alfie gave me thirty percent of his business to me, plus the rest of money you had to pay your debt." He says, I blinked at him taking in his words.

"I guess he knew I wasn't going to let you go so easy so he sweeten the pot, he choose you over his business." I looked up at Tommy hoping to detect if he was lying but he wasn't.

"I need to go."I whispered before pushing past him he grabbed my wrist and making me look at him again.

"Before you find alfie you should know something..." he said.

"What?"

"His drawn to you. His faithful. He loves you." I looked down at the floor.

"How would you know. You and alfie don't seem like the type to talk about those sort of stuff during business hours." I said.

"We don't, but i can see it when he walked in with you and how he held you by his side the whole night. It's exactly how I was with my grace." He said letting go of my wrist before walking away, I let his words sit with me a bit before walking to find my husband.

After a well, I found him outside looking into our car, "Alfie? What you doing." I asked walking over to him, he turned sighing meeting me half way pulling me into a tight hug.

"...fucking looking for you." He said pulling away.

"I told you I was in the bathroom." He rolled his eyes.

"You never told me which fucking bathroom I comb through this entire fucking house looking for you." He looked angry but happy to see me alright.

"I'm sorry." I apologized, he shook his head putting his hands on my waist.

"Don't apologized, pet. If I wasn't so hot-headed you wouldn't have run off in the first place." My hand palm was against his cheek as my thumb caressed his cheek.

"No, you had every right to be mad I should have told you about her visiting me, I knew it was wrong keeping it from you. She got to me." I whispered the last bit.

"Is she still getting to you." He asked, I shook my head.

"No not anymore." I smiled up at him, he smiled back.

"Let's go home. It starting to smell like cow shit, i dont know how these rich pricks could live out here." I laughed as alfie pulled me to his side before I climbed in through the driver's seat.

"I don't know, Alf. I think the country side is a great place to raised a family of six and counting." I grinned looking over at him.

"...let the one brewing in ya stomach grow first before we start thinking about moving, ya."
