Peaky Blinders Imagines✔️

Tommy- Leave The Blinders

Thank you @mixemotionsgirl for the request!

YNs family dynamic was very different to other kids her age. She's now 16 and living with her father and step mother while her biological mother lives in America who visits every now and again.
Her father, Tommy, is very protective of her especially because of what he does.
For as long as YN can remember she has hated him being part of the Peaky Blinders, she's always worried about him and her uncles, and partly she worries about herself. Now that Grace has been killed all YN wants to do is live a normal life with her family.

YN sits down during the family meeting, not really paying attention to what's being said. That is until her dad starts talking about her
"YN are you listening?"
"Huh?"
"Blimey child" Polly shakes her head
"From now on you are not to leave the house unless it's with one of us"
"What!" YN shouts with wide eyes
"I can't loose you as well" Tommy says to his daughter
"Then leave this life behind, like I've been saying"
"I can't YN. You know I cant" Tommy rubs his hands over his face
"I don't understand why!" YN shouts getting up from her seat and storming out of the room. Tommy looks at Finn who just nods his head and leaves to walk YN back home.
Tommy becomes distant especially after Charlie, her younger brother, gets kidnapped. YN becomes tired of living in fear and decides it's time to leave. When her mother next visits, YN asks if she can go with her to America.

Years later and YN returns to England as part of a travelling show. She returns to her home town in Small Heath. Walking through the Garrison she sees her eldest uncle sat at the bar drinking
"Uncle Arthur?" Arthur turns around and smiles at the girl
"YN is that you?"
"Yes. Where's dad? Is he ok?"
"Of course he's alright. What are you doing here?"
"I'm a singer. We're performing In Birmingham and I thought I should come and see dad"
"He's in there" Arthur nods towards the private room. YN gives her uncle a smile and makes her way into the private room. YN sees her dad nursing a whisky
"Hi dad"
"YN" Tommy breathes out turning his head to his daughter "what are you doing here?"
"Uncle Arthur asked the same thing. I'm a singer now"
"My daughter a singer. Who'd have thought"
"I've missed you dad" YN says sitting down next to Tommy
"I've missed you as well"
"Are you... do you...."
"Still part of the Peaky Blinders?" Tommy asks and YN nods her head sheepishly "kind of. I don't get dirty anymore. I have men for that"
"I suppose that's something"
"How long are you here for"
"2 weeks. I'm performing at the hippodrome if you'd like to come and see"
"I'd love to come. Look YN I'm sorry for how I acted. I just wanted to keep you safe"
"I know dad, but I was scared about loosing you. I was scared. When I heard uncle John had died I wanted to come back, but I couldn't bring myself to face you. I paid my respects though"
"John wouldn't have wanted you to waste time coming home" a nice comfortable silence passes between the two. Tommy finally brakes the silence "I'm sorry YN. I should have wrote to you"
"Maybe we can start" YN gives her father a shrug
"I'd like that"
