A/N

So part of this story is from the story line written by the writers of peaky blinders. But I have adapted it to fit my story. So don't expect it to be exactly like it was in the show

Finn is 11

Rose pov

I was currently in Tommy's arms as we walked through the streets of Birmingham. As we entered the house and into the kitchen, Arthur and John were having a pretend gun fight. It was really fun to watch and I was cheering for Arthur to win. That was because he said he would get me some sweets if I cheered for him. So I did just that. John suddenly shut up as Arthur told him to get down. Then, we all noticed a man standing in the kitchen next to aunt polly. The look on Arthur's face was priceless. He was clearly embarrassed but I wasn't sure what from. He was just showing how cool and awesome he can be.

"Gentlmen, this is pollys son, Michael, our cousin"

They all shook hands and I jumped from Tommy's arms. Very quickly, I rushed over to aunt pol and wrapped my arms around her waist and buried my face into her dress. I didn't like the sound of pollys son. So I refused to look at him and just stayed with aunt pol.

"Where's finny" I asked in barely a whisper so that only pol could hear me.

"He is out with his mates sweetheart. But he'll be back soon"

Everyone sat down and drank whilst talking and getting to know eachother better. Aunt pol seemed really really happy. I am sure it was because I was sat on her knee and she loved me. I wasn't listening to the conversation much but from what I gathered, Michael would be staying in Birmingham. And I was not happy about it. I had finally had enough of all this and decided just to go to bed. It was getting late anyway. Well that's a lie. I havnt even had tea. But who cares?

"Johnny, I tired. You take me to bed pwease" I said in a tired voice. I was begging with my eyes and it always works if I use a baby voice. I tend to use that voice when I am tired anyway bit bit had to pretend today since I wasn't actually tired. Just fed up.

"Already? It's only half 4."

"Well I'm very sorry that my little girl energy doesn't fit in with your grown man timetable" I said in a huff

"She's got you there" Arthur chimed in.

"Yes alright cheers Arthur. Come on then love. Let's get you to bed" he got up and grabbed my hand as I got of pollys knee, giving her a kiss on the cheek and giving Michael a death as I did so. He gulped and looked away. I succeeded. Yay.

"You gotta lie down with my Johnny cuz you know I don't like falling asleep alone"

"I know my love. I don't mind. Come on"

It was true. I always have someone lay with me before I fall asleep. It is comforting. We went upstairs and as soon as I changed into my night gown, I began to cry. I was in the bathroom getting dressed as John waited in my room. My little feet ran to John and his face went from amused to worried as he saw my tears. I didn't say anything just hugged him as my face went into the crook of his neck. His soft hand stroked my hair as he shushed me.

"Sshhh. What's wrong darling. You were fine half an hour ago" I didn't answer my brothers question. I just closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.

John's pov

My heart broke at seeing rose cry. And the worst part was not knowing what to do in order to help the angel. She didn't tell me but instead fell asleep, crying silently. I felt awful. Guilt was drowning me and it had no reason to. I normally leave once she is asleep but I couldn't. I didn't want her waking up, crying and with no one to comfort her.

She would always wake up in the middle of the night and come into one of my brothers rooms. But alot of the time, I wasn't there since I had my own kids. Tonight however, they were staying with the baby sitter. Esme was visiting her family for the weekend and I honestly needed the break. Not that I didn't love my children. But they are all still very young and arguments are common.

I didn't leave roses side all night. The thought of her being alone broke my heart. Arthur came up to check on me after I was up here for an hour, so i just told him I was sleeping here. He left without any further questions. I figured I would tell my brothers what happened tomorrow when there wasn't a risk of waking rose up.

Next morning

Polly pov

I awoke quite early and was in a really happy mood. The fear of this all being a dream lay on my shoulders but was washed away when Michael came down for breakfast. Everyone came downstairs one by one except rose and John, who came down together with rose on John's hip.

"Morning love. Sleep well rose?" Tommy asked.

John replied before Rose did "fine thank you. Oh no wait a minute. You favour rose over my adorable face and so didn't even bother to ask" he said with fake pain. Everyone chuckled except rose who just looked confused.

"Tommy. You shouldn't have favourites. Finny says that only I can have favourites. He also buys me sweets almost every day" she said. All eyes were on finn as he stuck his hands up in surrender.

Rose went over to finn and sat on his knee whilst she continued to steal abit of his bacon. Finn hadn't seemed to notice. That or he just didn't care. Rose and finn really were so sweet together. They just looked adorable.

"Love. What did I tell you. Just use your hands. Forks take too long" he told her.
"Or better yet, just stick your face in it like a dog. So much faster"

Everyone was about to say no but it was too late. Rose had put her face in her food and her and finn were laughing histerically. Michael and john were trying not to laugh. Arthur wasn't even trying not to and Tommy had a straight face.

For the rest of the day, rose was very clingy towards finn. He didn't didn't to mind at all. They had a best friend relationship and he liked teaching her things he really shouldn't like different swear words and how to sneak out. It is quite amusing to watch but you also have to remind rose that it is wrong. I did feel a little hurt. Rose had hardly spoke to me all day and I wasn't sure why. But i was spending today showing Michael around Birmingham.

Rose pov

I had spent all day with finny. We were at the garrison running around whilst our older brothers were drinking. Every now and then, finn would sneak a sip from someone's glass and give me some. He made me promise not to tell anyone so I didn't. Polly walked in with Michael and I stopped playing. I had told finn earlier that day how much I dispised Michael and he promised to hate him as much as I did. So we both turned our backs to him and didn't even look at anyone but eachother and the floor. But polly walked over to me.

"Rose. Can we have a word. As a family please." I just rolled my eyes but followed her into the back room anyway. Everyone was sat down and i sat next to finn.

"What's wrong sweetheart. John told us about how you were upset last night and you will only speak to finn today. What's going on?" Tommy asked. He sounded sincere. I just huffed but answered anyway.

"I'm not aunt pols daughter anymore"

Everyone looked taken aback except for finn, who still had a death glare on Michael.

"You will always be my daughter. What's changed?" Aunt pol asked.

"You have your real child back. You don't need me anymore. Everyone know that adults love their children more than anything. And me and finn aren't your children. We were. But now Michael is your child. So we have become second"

Pol was on the brink of tears as she rushed over and gave both me and finn a hug.

"You will both always be my children. Always. Just think of it this way, now, you have an extra brother. That means that more Christmas presents" pol said the last bit in a whisper as we both giggled. I hugged her and walked over to Michael to give him a hug aswell.

"What's this for?" He said.

"I always hug my brothers. Aunt pol says it is how you tell someone you love them"
