He pulls me towards him, my chest pushes upon his. My love, finally.
"Tommy" I whisper as he lays down and I rest my head on his chest.
"Yes"
"Thank you"
"I'm not entirely sure what you're thanking me for but your welcome"
"For this" I mutter.
I wake, it's still dark and I can hear heavy breathing and almost muffled cries. I sit up immediately and notice Tommy sat beside me breathless and his face full of anxiety and pain.
"Tommy, are you okay?! Tommy" I yell out and he turns his head slightly and tries slowing his breathing.
"Tommy, please" I say my voice wretched with fear. I place my hands around his neck and hold him close. He smiles slightly but it doesn't meet his eyes.
"I'm fine, sorry"
"What happened?" I ask confused.
"The war" he mutters and I nod, I lay back down and make hand signals telling him to lay with me. He wraps his arms around me bringing me close in to his chest. Is it worrying, Tommy isn't over the war. Everybody thought he was. Maybe not fully but not anything that was a concern but now seeing him in such pain brings back the memories of my father and how he must have suffered.
"Tommy" I say.
"How horrible was it?" I add"Nothing that concerns you Grace" he says.
"I was just wondering because of my dad..."
"He had a lovely life Grace, he had you. He lost his life fighting for his country. Besides I wasn't around him for much of it"
I just nod because I can't think of anything else to say.I fall peacefully back into a sleep with Tommy wrapped around me...
The sun peers through the curtains waking me up, I turn over although Tommy makes it extremely difficult with his legs draped over me."Good morning" I whisper when I notice he's waking.
"Grace" he says grinning.
I jump up and begin getting dressed. Tommy does the same and puts his suit back on.
"Here" I say perfecting his hair. Tommy Shelby with messy hair. I would have never thought it unless he was fighting of course. The thought makes me feel horrible.
We leave and I go to the Shelby house with him to see Ada. Questions will be asked no doubt but I assume we're both glad of it.
"Ada" I shout, Polly tells me she's upstairs and gives me a suspicious look as Tommy just walks right past her.
"Are you okay?" I ask, she seems scared.
"I'm fucking pregnant"
The words shock me. The first thing that comes to mind is Tommy, Freddie Thorne will live in hell once he finds out."Jesus Ada" I say hugging her because I don't know what else to do.
"I know"
"Tommy will kill Freddie, Polly knows.""Let Polly tell him, it will be easier"
"Did you spend the night with him?" She asks me completely changing the subject.
"Who?"
"Tommy. He stayed out and you both arrived together."
"Yes. I'm sorry" I mutter.
"Why are you sorry? There has always been something. To be honest I'm glad but I just hope he doesn't hurt you." She answers grasping my hand, Tommy is known to have multiple women and in a lot of circumstances completely disregard them.
"I can tell him if you would like?" I say to her, maybe it will be easier. No family tension then.
"That good be good actually."
