Tommy- Old Love Pt4

I wake up the following day to Charlie jumping on the bed
"Mummy wake up wake up. Nanna has made breakfast!"
"Hmmm 5 more minutes"
"No mummy come on you need to get up" Charlie pulls the bed sheet off me
"Ok I'm up" I slowing get out of bed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Charlie takes my hand and pulls me downstairs to the kitchen. He sits down next to my dad and I sit next to him. Mum places a plate of food in front of me
"Thank you" I give her a smile
"So have you decided if we're going to Polly's?" dad asks me
"Not sure. Is it a good idea? Tommy and I have only just reconciled"
"I think it will be good for Charlie" I look down at my son who's stuffing his mouth with his food
"Slow down Charlie" I scold Charlie
"Sorry mummy"
"I just don't want Charlie to be in the middle of whatever is going on"
"Sorry to say this love, he already is"

I decide that we should go and have diner that day at Polly's. So knocking on the door with Charlie in my arms was super nerve racking. Polly opens the door and smiles
"Aunt Polly" Charlie opens his arms out for Polly to take him
"Hi Charlie are you hungry?"
"Yeah let's go" I chuckle at Charlie and follow Polly into the house. The first to greet me is Arthur by pulling me into a massive hug. Next is John then Finn and Micheal. The final person to greet me was Tommy
"Thank you for coming"
"I'm doing this mainly for Charlie"
"I understand"
"Mummy hurry up I'm hungry. Uncle Arthur is already putting food on his plate. He's going to eat it all!" Charlie runs back into the dinning room
"We err best go and sit down" I give Tommy a small smile and follow where my parents and Charlie have gone. I sit down next to Charlie while Tommy sits opposite us. Johns kids and his wife are dotted around the table
"Mummy can you help cut up my chicken?"
"Of course I can" I take his knife and fork in my hands and cut up his food
"So YN are you moving back to Small Heath?" Arthur asks
"I don't know yet. We will see. I see the betting shop is doing well"
"Yeah it is" there's an awkward silence between us all.

The rest of our meal was quite awkward with a lot of small talk. I watch as Charlie and Johns kids all run around the garden when Tommy walks up to me
"Hey"
"Hi"
"Dinner was a little awkward wasn't it?"
"Just a bit" I chuckle
"He's grown since I last saw him"
"Been eating his greens, unlike his father"
"Don't like vegetable"
"I know. You never did" I finally look up at Tommy who's still watching Charlie play "Tom?"
"Hmm?" Tommy now looks at me
"Yesterday Charlie asked me if you still loved us. Hearing him say that broke my heart"
"I've fucked this up haven't I?"
"We both have" I shrug
"How do I repair our relationship?"
"Be his dad. Go play with him" I nod towards Charlie
"How?"
"He will tell you, be glad he's not a girl else you'd be playing as a princess" I say making us both laugh "you know he loves horses, bond over that. Take him to Charlie's yard to meet the horses"
"Can I have him for the day tomorrow?"
"Don't you need to be at the betting shop?" I ask frowning
"Polly's in charge tomorrow"
"Then you are more than welcome to have him"
"Would you like to join us?"
"Oh I don't know"
"You don't still have a fear of horses do you?"
"Maybe" I chuckle
"Then you definitely need to come with us tomorrow"
"I don't have any boots with me" I try to get out of going to the farm
"I'm sure Ada will let you borrow hers"
"But..."
"No buts. Your coming with us tomorrow"
"Fine, but I'm not ridding" I cross my arms
"We will see"

We continue to watch Charlie and the kids playing until it was time to leave Polly's and go home
"Mummy will we live with daddy again?"
"I'm not sure baby" I say tucking Charlie into bed
"I'd like to live with daddy again"
"Maybe one day we will, but even if we don't, daddy will always love you and so will I"
"I love you too mummy" I bend down and kiss Charlie on the forehead
"Goodnight baby. Sweet dreams"
