Cruel To Be Kind - Peaky Blinders Fanfiction

Part 23 - To Return To One's Home

Another chapter for you all.

I do hope you enjoy this chapter - I'm not sure if any of you are going to like it. To me, it just seems like a lot of ... babbling, but I couldn't write anything else.

I'm not sure if you know that I've edited all the other chapters. I was trying to get them all edited before continuing with the story and seeing as that's done I finally wrote this chapter.

There are new scenes added to previous chapters. In the third chapter, there is a scene between Arthur and Elsie that I wanted to write but forgot the first time and managed to edit it into the second version. Please re-read it if you wish.

There is also a scene between Ada and Elsie in chapter fourteen - I do recommend that you read that one.

Most of the changes I have made were done for plot reasons so I do recommend you take another look at the story.

I managed to squeeze this chapter out - I have only just finished it and I feel like the last section is a bit naff.

I hope I still have readers and I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's not much, but it's leading up to the bog plot involving Graves and this chapter has certainly got some important information regarding Tommy and Elsie.

I hope you all enjoy it and I am once again sorry.

I'm not going to take up any more of your time, but I am going to say that I can't promise to be regular on updates as I don't want to make any promises I can't keep.

Thank you for your time xx Comet96 xx

"Finn, I swear to God, if you don't get down here right now," I stopped as I caught Tommy looking at me, his eyebrows raised and a soft smile on his face. "What?"

He shrugged, pushing off the wall and cupping my chin before pressing a soft kiss to my lips. I sighed into the kiss before pulling away and looking at him with a frown.

"Are you upset?" he asked, his fingers brushing over my cheeks.

"No, I'm not upset."

"You seem upset," he said, his thumb brushing my bottom lip as he pressed a kiss to my forehead. "I don't mind you know, we've got plenty of time."

"I've told you I'm not upset, Tommy," I hissed, feeling my cheeks heating as my anger grew. I was always intolerable during my monthly. "You didn't even want children this early in our marriage. We could have waited as I told you, but you wanted to go ahead with the wedding."

"You think I regret marrying you now that I know you're not pregnant?" he questioned, the anger evident in his voice.

"I know that's not why you married me, but we could have waited. We could have spent more time—"
