Libitina got woken up that morning by banging on the front door. She headed down the stairs, unlocked the door and opened it to see Tommy and Arthur outside in their car.

"Where's John?" Tommy asked.

"Not fuckin' here. Now fuck off." Libitina said closing the door and locking it again.

Libitina headed into the living room to watch from the window, having no clue what was happening. She saw John leaving Polly's house and heading towards the car, talking to his brothers before approaching their house. John knocked softly waiting for a answer. Libitina walked up to the door, unlocking it and opening it slightly.

"What." Libitina said.

"We are ur.. we're headed to London, for the expansion. I won't be home till tomorrow." John explained.

"Whatever, bye. Have fun shagging whores." Libitina said before closing the door and heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the kids.

When Libitina was finished preparing breakfast she went and woke the kids up from their sleep. When the kids were up and ready they headed downstairs and sat around the table, putting food on their plates. Libitina picked up Nesrin from her cot and walked her downstairs, placing her in a highchair and placing some food on the tray.

Libitina wasn't even halfway through her breakfast until she had to run up to the toilet and throw up, she punched the wall, knowing why this was. She wasn't prepared to have another baby, not yet anyway with everything going on. When she knew she was done throwing up, she brushed her teeth and went into her bedroom to get dressed and to brush her hair.

She called the kids upstairs to get dressed and for them to brush their teeth so they were ready for the day. When they were ready she let them go play on the street with the rest of the kids that lived on Watery Lane. Katie got Nesrin dressed and took her outside to play with the rest of her siblings. When the house was quite, Libitina got out a book and started to read, not wanting to go to work today because of Polly.

When lunch time rolled around she prepared some food for the kids and called them in to eat. When they were all settled she set the food down and let everyone dig in, helping Nesrin eat hers. When the family was finished eating, Libitina suggested she'd read them all a book her and their mum used to love, which they all said yes to. The kids were all sitting on the floor while Libitina was sat on the sofa, balancing Nesrin on her knee. She began to read for the kids, them being quiet to listen.

John's POV

We arrived in London when it was dark, heading to one of Sabini's pubs. Tommy paid one of the security guards to let us is as we weren't meant to be in London. When we got in it was packed, people shagging on sofa's, people dancing everywhere. This definitely wasn't anything like Birmingham.

"It's a fuckin' freak show."Arthur stated after seeing two men kissing.

We walked up some steps and through the crowd to find a free table, when we did we took a seat, eye's on us from every angle.

"What the fuck is that racket." Arthur shouted over the loud music.

"This is what they call music these days brother." Tommy explained.

"Music?"

I won't lie, I couldn't keep my eyes off some of these women, I knew it was wrong but they were... different.
