I walk to the pub James frequents at. Nervously I scan around and see James with his girlfriend on his lap. I take a deep breath and walk over to him
"Jame can we speak, alone"
"Look at this boys. Told ya she'd be back, look love I've moved on time for you to as well" he laughs
"Actually James I don't want you back, but you deserve to know something. Have a choice, so can we..?" I motion to an empty table. He moves his girlfriend off his lap and they walk to the table and both sit down
"So?"
"I erm... I had a baby"
"Ok and?"
"She's yours, her names Eloise" James laughs
"Yeah sure. You've probably been whoring round. That's what you Shelby's do isn't it. Your a bastard as well aren't you? Your dad fucked a whore got her pregnant, your aunt fucked your dads best mate and got pregnant. Lest she fucking married the man, but did you think you'd be any different?"
"She's yours, I haven't..." James interrupts me from speaking further
"Whatever YN. Tell your dad I'm not marrying you or accepting that bastard as mine" James stands up leaving me to try and stop the tears in my eyes. I get up from the seat and leave the pub as quickly as I can and go home.

I arrive to Grace rocking Eloise in her bassinet that's downstairs
"Grace?" YN cries
"YN what happened?" YN runs to her step mum and crying in her arms
"I told him and he doesn't want to know her. Said we were both bastards and I'm a whore. And now he's probably going to tell everyone that I have a daughter and I probably slept with loads of people"
"Like hell he will" I hear dads voice, not knowing he was in the room when I poured my heart out to Grace "I'll deal with him"
"No dad just leave it. This is my mess"
"YN he did this to you. He bragged about it. No one messes with the Shelby's you got that. I'll be back later" dad takes his peaky hat and coat leaving the house
"What will he do?"
"Probably just scare him. Won't do more than punch him. Now why don't you go and have a bath, relax and I'll keep an eye on Eloise"
"Ok" I wipe my tears. Lean down in the bassinet and place a kiss on my daughters head before going to have a bath.

Later on in the evening dad comes home. I'm sat on the sofa holding Eloise whose awake and content. I notice blood on dads shirt
"Dad what did you do?" I ask watching him take his cap off
"James won't say shit now"
"What does that mean dad. What did you do?" I ask
"Arthur, John, Finn and I had a little word with him. When he started spewing shit I had to make him realises I wasn't joking. He's fine, just a bloody nose"
"Dad you can't just punch every one I have a problem with"
"No?m, but when they are saying lies about my daughter and granddaughter I have to let them know that they don't mess with the fucking peaky blinders. He said he won't marry you, well I don't want you to marry him. He's not good enough for my little girl. Until you meet the right person and I approve of him I will be by your side and help you. Promise"
"Thanks dad" I say giving him a little smile
"I'm going to get changed and when I come back down I'd like to have a cuddle with my granddaughter if that's ok?"
"Of course it is dad"
"Told you your dad would come around" Grace says smiling "and you are going to be just fine. One day you'll meet a nice man and he won't care that you had a baby out of wedlock. He will love you both"
"I hope so" I sigh. Dad walks back downstairs in clean clothes and takes Eloise from my arms
"You might not have a father right now, but you are very loved and you'll be spoilt rotten. You mummy loves you so does granny Grace and gandpa Tommy"
"Please don't call me granny. Nan will do" Grace chuckles making me laugh.
