DREAM - Tommy Shelby imagine [COMPLETED]

Chapter 11

A month has passed since you saw the name Tommy gave the horse but you still haven't brought it up because it seemed you and Tommy were getting closer and closer. Nevertheless you couldn't help but woder whether you were just a quick fuck to him at times as it seemed he called you up only to let some steam off. You decided to brush that off as you were sure it was just your overthinking and Tommy is just a man of few words when it comes to feelings. He called you to come to the office as he said he needed to ask you something important and you were on your way straight from work. The cold air made you walk faster and wrap the coat a bit tighter around your body as you finally entered the office, trembling while taking the coat off. Tommy stood up from his chair to take your coat while holding a cigarette between his lips.
„Hello, beautiful." Tommy said, directing with his hands for you to sit in the chair.
„Hello, Thomas." You said trying to be serious, but left a little giggle out and sitting in the chair. He then came in front of you, leaning on the wooden desk and taking a puff of the cigarette before continuing.
„I asked you to come here so I could give a proposition. How would you like to work here, with me?" Tommy asked, now crossing his legs and looking at your expression.
„What?... Me work for you? What would I even do here?" You asked, surprised at the proposal.
„Work with me." Tommy corrected you and continued: „Well I'm thinking of expanding my horizons and therefore the company needs educated and smart people. So I thought 'who better than (Y/N)?'."
You felt flattered from the words Tommy said but still weren't sold on it.
„I am thrilled but would have to think about it. I already have a job, and you know that I love my job." You said, looking at the floor, now confused as to what to do.
„Just think about it. I know it's vague for now, but I guarantee you wouldn't regret it." Tommy said, pushing himself off the desk and walking over to sit in his chair. After a somewhat long silence and obvious thinking you agreed to work with Tommy on whatever he needs you. Tommy smiled, which you haven't seen in a long time and made you smile too.
„Do I have to call you Mr. Shelby, tho?" you asked jokingly. Tommy had a look on his face as if he liked the way you said it which made roll your eyes.
„Only if you want to." Tommy said in a stern voice while looking you straight in the eyes, making you blush because you now remembered what happened the last time you were in this office. Trying to break the silence you went over to him and took a pen from the desk.
„Where do I sign?" you said, playing with the pen around your fingers. Tommy took out a contract and pointed on a line to which you quickly read the contract before leaning in to sign it.
„Welcome (Y/N). You are now a part of Shelby company ltd. You start Monday, 8 a.m. sharp." Tommy said before taking the contract and putting it in a drawer and getting up to shake your hand, keeping it all professional. You once again rolled your eyes at his business approach as you shook his hand firmly.
„Thank you mr. Shelby. Happy to be a part of this enterprise." You said in a serious voice, realizing your words made Tommy smirk as he pulled you closer to him to kiss you. You smiled, put on your coat and went home, thinking about the Monday to come and how you had to resign tomorrow at work.

Next few days passed fairly quickly, but you started to feel ill. As the weekend came you almost spent the whole day in bed, vomiting everything you eat in an instant. You were worried you couldn't make it on Monday to work but were detemined on making yourself feel good enough to go, and on Monday after work you would go to the doctor's if this bug doesn't die down.

On Monday you came into work, feeling better but looking tired, even though you tried to cover it up with makeup. As you entered the betting shop, you could see the whole Shelby family were sitting in the room with Tommy stood up and talking to them. All you could hear was Polly say: „You know better than to mix business with pleasure, look how it turned out before Thomas." before everyone turned to look at you standing in front of the room door.
„Ah, everyone who already doesn't know her, this is (Y/N) and she is the newest employee of the Shelby company ltd. and my right hand from now on." Tommy gestured for you to come closer and stand beside him.
„Hello everyone." You said shyly as everyone looked at you and then at Tommy.
„I also suggest she were present on family meetings from now on." Tommy said, which made you look at him with a confused face. „Anyone who disagrees, say it now." Tommy said while taking a sip of whiskey and looking everyone with a death stare. Polly just stood up and put out her cigarette before walking out of the room which made Tommy sigh.
„(Y/N), once again welcome." Tommy whispered, squeezing your hand away from sight of everyone. You could see Arthur approaching you.
„Little miss (Y/N), come here!" Arthur opened his arms for a hug. As you hugged Arthur, you realized John was looking at you with a hurt and sad expression, but trying to play it cool. His wife Esme stood behind him watching him look at you before firmly gripping his shoulder so he would get up and direct his attention to her but he couldn't stop his gaze. Arthur was saying something but you couldn't hear a thing as you zoned out for a second. You haven't really thought about John since he got married and you avoided any contact with him as you really did love him but wouldn't want to stand in the way of him and Esme. And now you were with his brother, the same brother who broke your relationship apart. You could feel tears filling your eyes but you broke eye contact with John as Arthur lightly shook you by the shoulders and waved a hand in front of your face.
„Helloooo? Earth to (Y/N)??" Arthur said jokingly, making you smile and tilting your head forward to secretly wipe away the tears that were escaping your eyes. Tommy stood outside the room and was talking to Polly, rolling his eyes a lot as it seemed Polly was once again against you for no particular reason. At this moment your stomach felt heavy as you rushed to the toilette to vomit. Tommy followed you to the toilette to see if you were okay.
„It's nothing, just a bug. I will go to the doctor today." You said before Tommy could say anything.
„Okay. If you need anything, some time off, tell me." Tommy said while holding your hair over the toilette.
„No, no. I'll be fine." You reasurred Tommy.

The remainder of the work day you felt okay, dreading the doctor's visit you had to go to now. As you walked over to the doctor's office, you could feel nauseous again from the smell of rubbing alcohol. Greeting the other patients in the waiting room you sat down. The waiting took what seemed like forever and you counted the tiles on the floor to pass the time. The doctor finally called your name and you went in the office. He proceeded to ask a few questions about what was the problem as you sat on the examination desk. He monitored your breathing with a stethoscope and measured your temperature but nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until he asked whether you were late. Your face went blank and you actually haven't thought about that posibility.
„Me? Pregnant?....No way...Or?" you said, mumbling to yourself and feeling yourself sweating. The doctor then suggested a trip to a gyno to be sure, but was certain that was the only cause of your nausea. As you walked out the door back into the waiting room, you could feel yourself about to faint but managed to walk out the building to some fresh air. You took a few deep breaths before going back to your place, and all you could say and think was „FUCK". A baby with Thomas? The idea seemed more and more appealing but you were fairly certain Tommy wouldn't think the same as you decided to say nothing until you were sure.
