A Little Faith(Peaky Blinders-Michael Gray:Part 3)

*Audrey's pov*

It was rough when Michael was in prison I didn't know what was going to happen Ada assured me Thomas was working something out to get them out...and some way somehow he did I still worked but my trust in Thomas was damaged a lot it...after Michael was released we married with just my dad, George, Sadie, and Polly present only to lose my dad a couple months later which devestated me more than it did George...Michael was amazing through it even dealing with his own demons since his release...I woke up to Michael standing at the window not dressed at all just as naked as he was when we went to sleep...I got up half draping the sheet around myself...I walked over pressing a kiss to his bare shoulder "What's wrong?"

Michael sighed deeply "I'm fine...go back to sleep babe."

I shook my head letting my bare chest press against his back letting my arms wrap around him my hands resting on his chest the sheet around us both "Talk to me."

He sighed deeply "I keep seeing the gallows...that rope around me neck the thoughts that went through me head...not marrying you...not seeing you carrying our children thats why when I got out I pushed to get married as quickly as possible I didn't want to waste any time."

I sighed softly "Baby..."

Michael placed his hand on mine "I can't do this without you."

I moved in front of him "I'm not going anywhere Michael you're stuck with me.."

He cupped my cheek lightly "I want to give you everything."

I nodded "You already do...now I want you to come back to bed.."

Michael sighed "I can't sleep babe."

I cocked an eyebrow "Who said anything about sleeping...we will be at your mum's for the next 3 days and she'll kill us both if she hears us having sex in her house."

He finally smiled "Ever since she walked in on us in the kitchen."

I nodded "Mmhmm so what is it going to be Mr Gray stay awake by yourself or come to bed and stay awake with me."

Michael nodded reaching down gripping my ass through the sheet "Bed now."

I smiled pulling him go bed with me...the rest of the morning was spent making love after taking a bath together Michael got ready for work while I got ready to head to Polly's..I sighed softly watching him stick a vile in his pocket as I sat drinking tea "You want to start a family how can we do that if you're still doing that?"

He sighed "Baby..."

I shook my head as I stood up and went to rinse out my cup "Just forget it."

Michael walked up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist "It will be the last one I promise."

I sighed "Michael.."

He nuzzled my neck "Baby.."

I sighed deeply "Swear to me it's the last one.'

Michael pressed a kiss below my ear "I promise.."

I nodded "Go to work."

He turned me to face him "Not if you're mad."

I sighed "I'm not mad....disappointed but not mad I just don't want to have a child with you using that as a crutch what good would you be to me?"

Michael nodded "No more I give you me word as your husband."

I nodded "Okay..now go to work I gotta get to your mum's."

He nodded "Get those damn tablets from her alright hold them till I get there."
