A few days after your confrontation with Michael, you sat in your flat crying your eyes out. You had refused to talk to anyone as every emotion you felt came pouring out in hot, angry tears. Polly and Finn often came to check on you, but you refused to open the door for them. You loved them, but you couldn't face them. After about the fourth day, there was another knock on your door.
"Go away, Pol," you called out in a scratchy voice. "Open the door, Y/N," Arthur's voice called out. You didn't reply. He knocked again to no answer. The third time he knocked, another voice said, "Open the door or Arthur will break it down!" You recognized Tommy's growl and sighed. You knew he was serious. You got up and threw the door open, meeting the faces of Arthur, Tommy, and Ada.
"What?!" you snapped. Tommy looked unimpressed and Ada had a look of pity on her face. "Don't. Don't do that. I don't want your pity, Ada. I don't want any of this. And I'm not sorry I told Michael to go to Hell." Ada smiled at you before pushing passed her brothers and going to your wardrobe.
You didn't get the chance to ask what she was doing before Tommy said, "You're going to stay with Ada for the duration of your pregnancy." You arched a brow. "The hell I am. I'm not going anywhere he can just show up whenever he feels like." Tommy's eyes never left yours as you continued, "I am not Shelby property that you can do with as you wish, Thomas Shelby!"
To his credit, Tommy didn't raise his voice. He didn't even show any signs that he was upset other than a slight tick of his jaw. "No, you're not. But you are one of us. As is the child. You will be taken care of and protected. If you refuse to stay with Ada, then Polly is an alternative. Or you can take up residence with the Lees. We take care of our own, Y/N. Michael will not be allowed to come 'round without your permission."
You looked between the three Shelbys. They were all waiting for your answer. You met Tommy's gaze again. "Do you swear?" He nodded without hesitation. After a second, you found yourself agreeing. Ada went back to throwing your clothing in a trunk.
*time skip*
Months passed quickly and before you knew it, you were eight months gone. You'd had no contact with Michael, but knew Ada had. You'd come home from the market one day to smell the mixture of cologne and cigarettes you knew could only be him. Other than that, there was no sign of him, just as Tommy promised.
However, as the day you were due to deliver drew closer, you found yourself missing him. You knew it was probably the pregnancy messing with your head but you didn't care. You needed to clear the air before the baby came. So, you picked up the phone and asked the operator to dial Michael's number. Unfortunately for you, it wasn't Michael who answered the phone.
"I need to speak to Michael please," you said through gritted teeth when Gina answered the phone. You wanted so badly to tell her exactly what you thought of her, but you didn't. As she was pregnant as well, you didn't want to upset her. The baby was innocent after all.
"He's out. May I take a message?" You sighed heavily as you ran your hand over your stomach. "Fine. Please tell him Y/N called." It was silent on the line for a minute, then there was some shuffling, as if she was shifting the phone. "Michael doesn't want to speak to you, Y/N. He doesn't care anything for you or that bastard in your belly." With that, she hung up the phone.
Anger coursed through your veins like never before. Never before had you truly despised another human being, but you loathed Gina Gray. The front door of Ada's home burst open, pulling you from your thoughts. Polly frantically ran into the room.
"What are you doing here, Pol?" you asked. You were really trying not to take your anger out on her. "Are you alright?" You brows furrowed and you nodded. "Of course. Why wouldn't I..." you trailed off, meeting her gaze, "Did you have another dream? A vision?" She nodded.
