After a drive of half an hour, they stop at a pleasing arrow house. Before Tommy can drive the car on the pavement he orders her "Close your eyes."
With only half a champagne glass in her stomach, Gia finds the provocation very exciting. She giggles as she, slwoly, but surely put her hands in front of her eyes.
Tommy smiles at the idea of having everything he ever wanted right in front of him. He comes to a stop and steps outside to open her door.
She stumbles out of the car with her closed eyes as Tommy tries to assist her with his hand. "Just a couple more steps." He informs her as she, yet again, stumbles.
He looks at the house once more as if he's asking it for reassurance. Gia's impatient giggle make him look down at her with a scared smile before taking her hands off her face.
Her smile falls when she sees the height and beauty of the house standing in front of her. She creases her head in an unnatural form to look at the very top of the house.
He turns his head to look at what she's looking and to make sure the house is indeed worthy of her. Her eyes search for his with questions filled in them.
He had hoped he wouldn't have to explain anything. "The ballroom is big, great for party's or inviting people. There are eight bedrooms and people at... our service. If you need help with anything they're paid to help ya-" He explains while wising at different rooms.
She cuts him short by questioning "Tommy, what are you expecting from me?" He finally takes a look at her and is suprised whenhe finds out that he's the one taken back. He expected her to look at him as if he's crazy, instead she looks as if she is stroked by unexpected luck.
Tommy, a man of many words, was again at a loss of them. He throws his cigarette on the ground and takes a little box out of his pocket.
The opening of the box reveals the most beautiful ring she has ever laid her eyes upon.
At first, Gia thought she had misread the signs but turns out she's able to read them just right. It seems almost impossible to read a man like Thomas Shelby, but somehow Gia is doing a great job at it.
She looks at the emerald green ring and then back at those ocean blue eyes.
"Polly gave it to John for his first wife, and he gave it to me for you. It was my mother's. Polly told me about the child but I had this in mind for quite a while already." He explains to her.
Gia's silky hand touches Tommy's rough face. She stands on the tips of her toes and kisses the man she loves with the biggest smile on her face.
As she slightly backs away from the kiss, she can't hold in her glee. "I love you, Tommy Shelby."
The smile Tommy has been holding in fianlly breaks lose. He was right, he has everything he ever truly wants right in front of him.
The morning after, she woke up bare and wrapped in Tommy's sheets. A silky black bathrobe hug her forms as she walks through the house.
The sight of a mirror makes her stop and take a big step back. She turns tot the side and remarks that the lower part of her stomach has grown.
Her hand rakes over her stomach and an innocent smile fights it ways on her lips. Suddenly, the wooden floor creaks to her right, making her head turn around to the sound
Tommy's eyes are set on her hands that's caressing her stomach. Her hand falls from her belly and she walks up to him.
She puts her hands around his neck and asks "Where have you been?" with a smile. "Working." He answers as he puts his hands around her waist.
"Is this how it's going to be? I come home late and you waiting on me?" He laughs. "No, it's going to be the other waya round" She kisses him and walks down the hallway towards the kitchen.
She's met with Marry, their head maid, "Hi, Marry" Gia says as she goes to get some bread. "Good morning, miss Changretta." She greets back.
"Oh, please call me Gia, honey." She puts her hand on the maid's arm. The woman nods and keeps on peeling the potatoes.
"Might I ask you something, Gia?" She questions after a while. "Mhm, go ahead." Gia takes a bite of her sandwish. "Are you pregnant?" She asks almost scared.
Gia's smile drops slightly, how is everyone placing her in the cage of a pregnant woman already when she hasn't been able to even give it a place yet.
"I am indeed." Gia bows her head. The woman walks over to her and places her hands on her stomach, explaining with a smile "Carrying low means it's a boy."
Gia smiles back and finnishes her food, before walking away from the weird meeting to get dresses.
As she gets dressed into her dress she can't unsee the bump that is deffinitely there which makes her growl out in frustration.
Not a second later, does Tommy come into the room and places his hand on her hip. "What's wrong? I can hear you sigh to the other side of the hallway."
"It's too obvious." She answers as she looks back in the mirror. Tommy can't hold his smile to himself as he ensures her "You look beautiful. Would it be so terrible that everyone knew you were mine?"
She sighs and looks up at him "I guess not." He places a kiss on top of her head. "You guess? I have to run to the Garrison for some meetings with people." He tells her as he searches for his vest.
Gia puts on her heels as she informs him "I'm going to get into different clothes." She looks down over what she's wearing and goes to also get her vest.
"I have a meeting today with Carmelo. He's going to be the key to the future." She explains with full attention from Tommy. He kisses her forhead and says "Be safe."
"You too." She says back as he disappears into the darkness of the hallway. Gia looks around and realises how much this house has the same air as her childhood home.
Once every child had hit the age of adulthood they would transfer from their charming house to their big-city house in New York. As the youngest child Gia was transferred way sooner than her brothers.
She adores the house so much because of the similarity with the one in New York. She loves the way you can hear the footsteps on the wooden floor, the high ceilings, and the smell of the fireplace.
Tommy had ordered a driver to get her home. Once she is clothed in more breathable clothing she walks out of her house to see the man still sitting in his car.
She sighs and walked the length of her driveway off. She knocks on the car to get his attention "What's your name?" She questions him. "Gabriele." He answers.
As a woman, Gia doesn't receive the scared looks either Tommy or her brother's get here in Birmingham. The man keeps smoking his cigarette and doesn't seem faced at all with the look on Gia's face, which makes it worse for her.
"Well, Gabrielle, I would advise you to run to a place far away from here. Run as hard and as far as you can, and if you dare to turn your head around to look where I am stood. Be sure that as you look back on the road I'll be standing right in front of you. I'll look you in the eye before I'll stab you with this exact knife and leave you to bleed out with my face as the last thing you'll remember." She threatens with a dagger in her hand.
The man starts the car, but Gia stops him by saying. "No, bud, I said run." She opens the car door for him, and the man goes off running. He runs as fast as he can almost like he just saw the devil in flesh and blood, leaving her content.
