Forever

Thank you

Two weeks later
Tommy was cleared to do whatever he wanted. He was fully healed and the stitches were gone. Tommy and Scarlett were going into work today for the first time since he got out of the hospital. It was the break they needed and wanted. They were just going in for one meeting though. Scarlett woke up to Tommy kissing her neck. She looked at the clock.
"It's 7 in the morning." She groaned as she turned away from him.
"Yeah, but it's been two weeks and I'm not waiting another second."
He got right up against her and whispered.
"Come on, Scarlett. Fuck me. I know you want to."
He bit her ear and then she turned to look at him.
"Fuck me, Mrs. Shelby."
She didn't move and he shrugged his shoulders.
"That's fine, we are seeing Greta in a little while...I know she'll do it." Tommy said as he started to get up.
Scarlett pulled him back down and got on top of him.
He smirked.
"Are you jealous?" He asked.
"No."
"I really didn't take you as the jealous type, Scar." He kept pushing.
"I'm not." She said and then kissed him and his neck.
"Then why do you get all tense when she walks near me?"
She sat up and looked at him. Scarlett took off her slip dress.
"Shut up, Tommy." She said and then started kissing him again.
He flipped her over on her back.
"Or what?" He smirked.
They kissed and did their thing for while and then they had to get up and get ready for work.
"What time is the plane flying in with your family?" He asked as he put a shirt on.
"They should be at the office right as we're about to leave."
Scarlett walked out of the closet, dressed and ready.

"Maybe we shouldn't go to work." Tommy said as he looked her up and down.
"Oh, we're going. Grace and Greta have more in common than you think and you have too see."
She winked and then walked out of the bathroom. Scarlett sprayed the last of her perfume and turned to look at Tommy.
"Are you ready?" She asked as she stuck out her hand.
He took it and they started out.
"See how you're in a good mood this morning...I wonder why." He whispered.
"Let's see how long it lasts."
They said goodbye to their kids and then made it to the office. Everyone hugged Tommy. They were so happy he was back. Ada handed Scarlett a mimosa and they talked. Tommy was in his office talking to Polly.
"How are you? You look good, but a little tired." Polly said.
"I'm good."
She gave him a look and he folded.
"Bella wakes up screaming every night because she has nightmares about that day and then it wakes Myles up. I've been doing it for two weeks with Scarlett....I don't know how she did it by herself for that long and then came into work everyday and ran two businesses."
Polly smiled.
"I don't know how to thank her. Do I get her a gift?"
"Just tell her. She would much rather hear it come from your mouth than you saying thank you with some gift."
He nodded and then Polly motioned towards Lizzie talking to Scarlett.
"Lizzie was so heartbroken over you in the hospital...she's pissed Scarlett is back though."
"So what the fuck is she saying to Scarlett then?" He asked.
"I don't know, but I want to." Polly smirked and then walked out of the office.
Tommy followed and they stood where they could hear.
"You know that's not really an appropriate outfit for work. It's kind of slutty. Maybe you should just leave." Lizzie smirked.
Scarlett took a sip of her drink and looked at Lizzie.
"And what exactly did you wear to your last job?" She said casually.
Lizzie scoffed and then ran out. Scarlett turned around and everyone was staring at her.
"What? Did I say something?" She said and then walked over to the table.
Tommy smirked and then everyone went to the table. He grabbed Scarlett before she could sit down. Tommy moved her chair beside his at the head.
"But you sit at the head of the table."
"And now you do too." He said.
She was hesitant.
"Does anyone oppose?" He asked.
Everyone shook their heads no.
"You've rightfully earned it." Polly smiled.
Scarlett sat down beside Tommy and they got caught up on the past two weeks. Greta and her family walked in. She came in last and everyone saw the mark on her. They were all holding in their laughs. Everyone loved it, but Linda. Tommy put his hand on Scarlett's thigh and then leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"You marked her?"
"She's just lucky she's still standing."
He squeezed her tan thigh and then put his hands on the table. They talked business and numbers for a while and then Tommy got serious. He stood up and paced behind Scarlett.
"You put my kids in danger, my family....I lost a brother because of you. I nearly died....you shot at my wife."
Greta started to talk, but Tommy shot his head up.
"Did I say you could talk?" He spit.
Tommy leaned on the table.
"You have a week to get rid of the cartel or we get rid of you."
"You wouldn't kill us...you're not her." Greta spit.
Tommy shrugged his shoulders and pulled out his gun.
"Or I could shoot you all now and take over your business."
"Shelby would look really good on the rum bottles." Scarlett said.
Tommy smirked at her and then shot the rum bottle that sat between Greta and her father. It spilled everywhere and they jumped up.
"We'll get rid of the cartel, Mr. Shelby." Stefano surrendered.
"Yeah, you will."
Tommy pointed the gun at Greta and he smirked.
"You better hope the cartel gets to you before the mafia does."
Just then Aberama and Bonnie walked in.
"Scarlett, your family is here from New York." Aberama said.
Greta's face was priceless. She was terrified. Scarlett stood up and her two uncles, Kane, and Chelsea walked in. Greta and Scarlett made eye contact and Scarlett smirked. Greta was literally shaking as her brother stood in front of her. Tommy cleared his throat.
"We'll see you in a week...well most of you." He smirked.
Scarlett walked over to her family and Greta's family started to walk out. They got to the door where the New Yorkers stood. Everyone saw the mark and they looked at Scarlett and then Greta. Her uncles started to talk in Italian as they looked at her and Greta literally ran out. They all laughed and then hugged.
"Say the word..and she'll be dead by the time the sun goes down." Carmine said in Italian.
Scarlett smirked and responded in Italian. The Shelby's walked over and everyone greeted.
"Can we see that baby now!" Chelsea said.
"Yes...we should be finished up here."
"You go ahead, I'll be there in an hour. I just want to go over some paperwork." Tommy said.
She nodded and then they kissed.
"We'll be over at three for the party." Ada said.
Scarlett smiled and then she left. She filled them in on Greta and the cartel. They arrived and walked in.
"Daddy?" Bella said as she ran out.
"Ever since the shooting...she's been more attached to him than ever."
Bella ran over to Scarlett and she bent down.
"He will be home soon. Do you remember your uncles.....and then Kane, and Chelsea?"
She nodded and then Kane picked her up. He put her on his shoulders and she laughed. Scarlett went to get Myles and then she came back.
"Oh my God...he's beautiful." Chelsea said.
Tony held him.
"None of my kids were this cute." He joked.
The two uncles looked at the baby.
"Your father would've loved him. He would be so proud." Carmine said.
Scarlett smiled and then they all sat in the living room. Ash ran up and barked at the new people. Scarlett said one word to him and he calmed down. She rubbed his head as he sat beside her chair. Chelsea finally got to hold Myles.
"He looks like a mini Tommy with your tan skin."
She smiled and then about thirty minutes went by. Kane was sitting in the floor with Bella as they played with Ash. Chelsea was still holding Myles. Tommy came in and he had a little bag. He nodded towards the steps and Scarlett got up.
"Will you guys be okay?" She asked.
"Please...you'll have to fight us to hold your own son." Chelsea said.
Scarlett smiled and walked upstairs with Tommy. He sat the bag down on her vanity and she sat down. She pulled out a new bottle of her perfume.
"How did you know!?"
"I pay attention."
She stood up and hugged him.
"Thank you, Tommy."
He pulled away and made eye contact.
"There's something I have to say." He said.
"Okay." She smiled.
"Thank you, Scarlett. For everything that you do."
She gave him a weird look and then he continued.
"Thank you for being a great wife and an even better mother. Everything you did by yourself when I was in the hospital amazes me. I don't know how you did it all."
"Tommy, you don't have to say thank you."
"But I want to."
He held her face.
"Thank you for putting up with my family. They are anything, but easy."
She gave a small laugh and he ran his thumb over her cheek.
"And thank you for loving me and never giving up on us."
She smiled as she put her arms around his neck.
"I would never."
He kissed her and then they went back downstairs. Bella ran to Tommy and he picked her up. Kane sighed as he put his arm around Scarlett.
"And I lost her." He said.
"You get used to it." She joked.
