○ Finn/Thomas shelby imagine

□Warnings: swearing, fighting

The day the shelby twins was born was the day everyone knew it would never be the same again. Finn was born first at 11:30 in the morning. Finn a lanky chubby newborn that won anyones attention and affection with a batter of his long eyelashes, he was graced with the gypsy charming looks. And it wasnt until 6 hours later, his tiny twin sister was born with a mop of curls on her head, but a huge set of lungs and she would wail for two people. Finn and if it wasn't Finn it would the infamous Thomas Shelby.

The gangster had a soft spot for his youngest siblings, (y/n) was a fiery child with a temper like Tommy and she wanted to do everything he did. When Tommy smoked, (y/n) and Finn stole a packet of cigarettes that they tried to smoke next to the fire place but quickly tried to get rid of it when Tom entered.

"Arthur's mad as hell," Finn said trying to change the subject, "now what do you know about hell?" Tom smirked ruffling his hair, as he had the infamous peaky blinders haircut. The one thing Polly forbid you from even thinking about getting. Tom looked down at you, you said there grinning your curly hair tied tight in pigtails courtesy of Ada.

"No smoking (y/n), eh?" Tom said trying to frown at you, but you continued grinning which made him smile briefly. "You two go play, here 2 bob go get some sweets aight?" Tom said handing you and Finn a bob each as you grinning running off outside.

Polly shook her head, "your too soft on them especially (y/n)" Polly sighed as Arthur chuckled. "There the apple of his eye, they have innocence pol something that is rare around here" John said.

Meanwhile the family was discussing business, you and Finn left the sweet shop with an armful of sweets each and still had the 2 bob Tommy had given yous. "We are gonna get into trouble (y/n)" Finn stated anxiously as you sat on a hay bale next to Tommy's prized horse eating the sweets.

"Finn, we won't. Tommy steals a lot too so how can he tell us off when he does it too" you stated firmly untying the tight pigtails Ada had done, "...Finn? Do you think we will be peaky blinders when we grow up?" (Y/n) asked sucking the hard boiled sweet. Finn thought about it.

"I think we will be" Finn said happily, (y/n) beamed jumping down from the hay bale sucking her sweets, "let's go bargin with uncle Charlie and give him the two bob for a ride of his horse!" (Y/n) beamed Finn nodded enthusiastic following his young twin, as the pair ran along the canal to their uncle Charlie's scrap yard. (Y/n) slipped cracking her skull on the hard concrete paving of path and collapsed into the canal. Finn screamed he rushed to uncle Charlie breathless telling him about (y/n), Charlie commanded Finn go back and tell Tom what happened as he rescued the young shelby.

(Y/n) sight faded on her as she was immersed in water, her heart racing faster than ever, as she tried to grab something, anything. She felt large callous hands yank her out of the cold water, she tried to open her eyes but was blinded by red water not realising it was her own blood.

A thunderous roar sounded as she heard Tommy rush over scooping (y/n) in his arms, asking her question begging her to stay with him,  her body shooking as pneumonia set in her lungs and her head felt light as a feather as darkness over took her once again.

When (y/n) opened her eyes again, she was in the living room swaddled in blankets next to the fire place and a thick bandage around her head. Thomas cigarette smoke filled the air as he felt guilty, he had been the one who had sent Finn and (y/n) out to play and he left Finn traumatised and (y/n) injured.

"T..tom?" (Y/n) mumbled trying to untangle her frame from the blankets. Thomas jumped up hugging her tightly, such affection was rare for him so it was only fair (y/n) was surprised. "I'm so sorry (y/n) I'm here now I'm sorry" Thomas mumbled the cigarette hanging lose from his lips as he made sure he felt her pulse, he was scared he wouldn't get to feel it again.

(Y/n) nuzzled him, "its okay Tom" she smiled happily. John and Arthur walked in with Finn to show the little boy that his sister was alright,  "quite the wounded soldier arent you poppet?" Arthur chuckled as John smirked winking at (y/n). Thomas stood up dusting himself off sitting back in his chair as Finn hugged (y/n) tightly as the twins embraced the family settled again.

Well only for a short while...

"Everyone out of here now! (Y/n) and Finn needs there bloody rest!" Polly commanded as the men left, avoiding Pollys anger and made sure they was far enough so she couldn't throw anything at them. Polly smiled at the little girl and boy laying them down on the sofa stroking her cheek as her head rested on one side of her lap and Finns rested in the other as Polly stroked Finns hair as the pair fell into a relaxed sleep.
