FINISHED!
Roelynn is a shy girl around 5 years old. She is an orphan and lives at the all girls orphanage of Small-Heath. Never in her life would she talk to strangers, but when a certain family of gangsters start to fund the orphanage. Little Roely...
(Tommy's P.O.V.) I walked out of the house and towards the car. But a loud neigh stopped me in my tracks. I turned my head around towards the stables. It was Blue-eye who had loudly neighed towards me. Again she neighed and it was almost like she was asking for me to take her instead of the car. She hadn't seen Roe in a while and was probably wondering where her favorit person was. "Okay, you win" I yelled at the horse with the one Blue eye while closing the car door. I walked towards the mare and gave her a pat over the head before I opened the stable door. "Alright, let's go see your girl" I told her with a smile as I got her out the stable. With no saddle on and only a bridle, I got onto the mare's back before heading towards the hospital where Roe was.
(Polly's P.O.V.) I stood up from the chair besides Roe's hospital bed to see if I could see Tommy from the window. He had some business to attend to and asked me to watch over a Roe. But he promised to be only an hour but he had been gone for over 2 hours, not that I mind watching over Roe. A smile appeared as I saw the sight in front of me. I quickly turned to get Roe out of her bed so she could she what I had seen. I carried her over to the window before pointing out the window. A weak smile formed on her face as she saw Tommy ride Blue-eye to her window and halted her.

"Blue" she whispered weakly. It seemed like Blue-eye could also see Roe because she lifted her head up to the window before letting out a whinny. It got to much for Roe and she wanted to lay down again. So I waved to Tom that I was going to put Roe back in her bed. He tipped his peaked cap understanding what I was going to do before he took the mare back to home. Eventhough he got some resistance from the mare refusing to go, but he managed to get her to walk back home. I turned back around to carry Roe back. I put her down in the bed and she immediatly fell asleep. I sat back down in the chair so I could wait for Tommy to arrive with the car. "Mrs Gray?" I heard the familiar voice of Ms Honey. "Hello Ms Honey, how can I help you?" I asked her. "Is Tommy here?" She asked me. I shook my head at her and told her he just left with Blue-eye. "But he will return shortly" I told her. "I hope so, it is urgent" she said with a worry. I raised an eyebrow at her before asking her what was wrong. "Well" she didn't finish her respond and just handed me a document. I looked at the document she had handed me. Tommy walked in and I immediatly stood up to walk to him to show him the document.
(Tommy's P.O.V.) I took the document from Aunt Poll's hand and began to read it.

I looked up at Ms Honey. "Who is Pauline Bronze?". "Marie's twin sister" she answered. "And how do you know about this?" I asked her, "Marie and I were childhood friends. But when she was pregnant we had a falling out and I never seen her since. Pauline came by yesterday to show me the agreement and asked if I knew where Roe was. She accidentally left a copy at my house. Thomas, Pauline will eventually come for Roelynn but - she isn't a good person. I beg you to find a way to keep her with you". I started to nervously pace around trying to think of a plan for what I could do if this woman would come.

"Thomas, do you have a plan?" Polly asked me and I stopped and looked at her. I just got her back and now I could loose her again if I didn't have a good plan. With a racing heart I walked towards Roe and scooped her in my arms, fear sinking in that I may never hold her again because a person I never met could take her away. I looled back at Polly to answer her question. "I-" I said with a stutter "I don't - know". Polly's eyes fell to the ground with defeat at the realisation we might not win this one.

I was a bit stuck on bow to continue. But thanks to these three I got some inspiration on how to continue.
