Peaky blinders angel- Completed

Puppy

A/N

So I don't know much about puppies in 1920s so some facts may be wrong. Like if they had toys and dog beds. And i know know now dogs must stay stay mother for about 12 weeks but I am guessing it was shorter then as they didn't really know much or care for the animals as much. So just go along with it..

Finn is 12

I was bored. Not much else to say. All I could think about was how I was so utterly bored and boring that my boring life will remain boring causing me to be bored. Got that? Good.

I didn't have anyone to play with. At all. Finn didn't play games with me anymore. He used to. But now he just hangs out with his friends. And my other brothers give me attention and buy me anything i want, but you can't buy friends. Doesn't help that I am homeschooled since apparently it is safer. Bullshit. Polly won't play and ada lives all the way in London. That's basically another country.

My brothers do get me anything. So I thought, why not ask for something I really really really want. I could ask all my brothers but the only person who's opinion counted for something, was the person who would be most likely to say no. Tommy. His opinion mattered the most in situations like this as I spent most time at his house. Sure i went to my other brothers house, I was supposed to live with polly. But I slept at Tommy's House almost every day. He liked to protect me. So I needed him to say yes. So I went into the betting den and asked him.

"Tommy" I said as i ran up to him. He lifted me up and i gave him a big kiss on the cheek and hugged him.

"Hiya darling"

"Have I told you how much I love you. Because i love you so much. You are my favourite brother but don't tell the others that" I told him. Arthur John and finn were all there and just looked offended. Tommy rolled his eyes.

"What do you want rose?"

"A puppy. Please. I'm not picky. I honestly don't mind which kind. As long as it is black, a labrodor and a puppy. It also has to have a white tail. But I'm not picky" I said with a smile on my face.

"Fuck off"

I just had a shocked expression on my face

"Please Tommy. I can only have one if you say yes so I need you to say yes. Please. I will be extra good. I will never be naughty again" OK. Even I couldn't help but laugh when i said the last part. Tommy just put me down and I stomped my feet. I stormed out and went to the pet shop

The truth is, I had been super specific about the dog I wanted because I had seen it in the window. And it was so cute. So the Owner of the shop said he would save that dog for me. I walked in their with the wallet I may have stolen from Tommy when I hugged him.

"Ah. Its my favourite little girl. You come to give the doggie a nice home? The woman said. She was a French woman about 50 years old, small and quite plump. Super friendly.

"Yeah. Tommy gave me his wallet so I could buy him. Take all the money you need" I said as I handed her the wallet.

"You are very kind. But I only need little money." She took a small amount of money and handed me the rest back. The owner lead me into the back of the shop to show me the puppy. It was on a dog bed with a toy and looked so tiny.

"Only 3 week old. You make sure you give it milk from baby bottle as so tiny" she said handing me the puppy.

I took the adorable creature in my arms and fell in love. The dog was asleep.

"I promise i will look after the puppy. Thank you very much"

I walked out of the shop with the puppy in my arm. Now there were always peaky blinders about keeping me safe. I didn't always see them but Tommy said they were always there. Today, I did see one. In an alley just watching me. I recognised him straight away as Danny Mason. He was really nice and had wife and kids. So I ran up to him.

"Danny. Look what I got" I shouting holding up the puppy for him to see. He crouched down and stroked the puppy.

"Aw. This little guy is so cute. Did you brothers really agree to this" he said in shock.

"That's why I came over. Don't tell them yet. It's a surprise."

He chuckled and just nodded his head. I darted home with the labrador in my arms. Once I opened the door, I put the dog in my pocket with my hand stroking it. Michael was sitting on the sofa reading the news paper.

"Hi Rose. What you got there?" He said looking at my wriggling pocket. I told him it was a surprise and that I would tell him at dinner with everyone else.

Skip to dinner

We all sat down and I was really nervous. I had to convince Tommy to let me keep him. But I knew that Tommy Jr was so adorable that big Tommy wouldn't resist. Oh ye. Forgot to mention. I named the dog Tommy Jr so that brother Tommy would like him more. I bet he will be really happy. Tommy Jr was currently on my lap under the table. I made sure to sit down first so no one would see.

"Guess what. I have a huge surprise for you all"

"What is it love" polly said.

I pulled the puppy from under the table and all mouths stopped moving. Everyone stared at me and didn't say a word. Until Tommy did. And I really wish he didn't.

"Fucking hell rose. It was you that stole me fucking wallet all to by that damn dog wasn't it!" He yelled. I chucked his wallet back at him and he caught it.

"Ye but I made it up to you already"

"Oh ye how?" John said. I knew he was secretly proud.

"The dog is called Tommy jr" I said proudly. John's older kids burst out laughing along with Arthur, John and finn. Polly sniggered and I could tell she was trying not to laugh. Tommy had wide eyes and a look of anger. But Michael just stared at the puppy, stroking it. At least he was on my side.

"You can keel the dog. By change its fucking name. And you will work to pay me back young lady"

I sprinted from my chair and gave Tommy the biggest hug. As I walked back to my seat, I stopped and whispered in Arthur's ear

"There ain't no way I changing Tommy Jr name"

He just chuckled and winked at me. Safe to say that Tommy Jr kept his name, and everyone in the family warmed up to the dog. Well, almost everyone. Tommy still refused to call it Tommy Jr and instead just said mutt. But I got what i wanted. Until it shat in my bed. That wasn't what I wanted. But it was worth it.  As I officially have the cutest dog in the whole wide world. And according to finn, I have won the award for person to piss off Tommy with 2 words. I asked him what those words were and he said

"Tommy junior" I didn't understand as i thought Tommy enjoyed the name. Just didn't want the dog to think it had to match his standards which is understandable. But hey. So what? I got a dog. And the ability to piss of Tommy with 2 simple words and it not even be on purpose. Shelby goals.
