Cruel To Be Kind - Peaky Blinders Fanfiction

Part 5 - A Woman Of Two Worlds

Sorry for the long wait.

I also apologise for any mistakes within this chapter - I haven't had time to read through it. The current time is 02:34 am in the morning, but I thought you'd like to receive this chapter sooner rather than later.

Please enjoy this chapter. I look forward to any reviews I may receive. Thanks again, Comet96 xxx

I'm currently editing this piece of work - when I mean editing, I mean I'll be adapting the story and plot, and I will be checking for grammar and spelling mistakes, but I may miss some as my main focus is on shaping the story so it flows well before I continue adding more chapters. I am sorry if it takes a while, but I do hope you'll all be patient with me.

I would recommend re-reading each new edited chapter as there may be changes that would fit in with future chapter and future edits.

Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy.

If you do have any problems or any suggestions, please let me know.

"You're sure I can keep them here?" Tommy asked as Charlie unloaded Wen from the van and following Maddox as he led him to the pen.

"They'll be fine here," I said, rubbing Paddy's back as he rested his head against my shoulder.

I turned away from Tommy as Mah-mee came out of the house, Grenn at her heels as they argued over something.

"I want ya to train 'im to be a racer." I looked to Tommy confused. He did know that Aden wouldn't suit being a horse. Aden needed a peaceful life, one away from the hustle and bustle of the races.

"I think you should just keep him for yourself, you both could do with the company." I gave him a pointed look before turning to look back at Mah-mee and Grenn as they drew closer to us.

Grenn stopped at something Mah-mee said, throwing his hands up in anger. His eyes looked to me and he spat on the floor in my direction and turned away stalking off. I raised my eyebrows at his display, knowing I'd hear about his curse when Mah-mee made her way over.

"What was that about?" Tommy asked as he stood closer to me, his hand running over Paddy's head. I had the feeling that Tommy liked the baby, even if he wouldn't admit it.

Mah-mee looked up at us then, a large smile on her face as she seemed to gaze off at us. Her eyes had gone glazed over and I knew she'd gone into one of her trances. Mah-mee was touched by the spirits and often saw things that were due to come. Grandpappy said she could speak to the dead as well.

I didn't know what to believe.

She sure knew things before they happened, but I just assumed that was her mother's intuition.

She also had a keen eye for knowing who would end up married to who. Adding on the fact that she could also tell if you were carrying a boy or a girl, and the name of the baby, it was a little strange.

Grandpappy said she had the seer blood in her.

"No idea." I turned away from Mah-mee and looked to Aden. "Are you going to keep him for the company then?"

"I have company." Tommy groaned, running his fingers over his cap, his eyes flickering from Mah-mee to me. "I spent the day with you, didn't I?"

"I'm not your friend, Tommy. We hardly know each other." I gave Tommy my full attention, turning my head up to lock eyes with him. "Do you actually speak to anyone besides your family, the Blinders and the people you deal with for business?" I asked him, tilting my head to the side as I waited.
