1921, Shelby manor

It had been 3 years since Thomas Shelby returned home, years of writing letters hoping he'd live to see the next day. And when that day came, you couldn't wait to have him in your arms once again.

Shortly after he arrived home, you fell pregnant, you was thrilled, Thomas was silently excited but he wouldn't dare show it. You did anything and everything to make sure your first born had an amazing life to be welcomed to, and now that your son was three years old, you thought it was time for another.

And it didn't take long either, you fell pregnant again, and you, Thomas and Charles were excited

But when you turned 5 months pregnant, you began to realised Thomas was coming home later then usual, at first you figured it's just business, after all he was a cold hearted man who left no room for a soft business chat. But they you realised he became more quiet, always hiding what you soon found out, was a thick wad of cash notes, you stayed silent, not wanting to question it

Thomas came home late again one night, standing in the hallway, as he counted the thick wad, I soon buried it in his pocket when he saw you standing at the other end of the hall, your hands resting on your growing stomach, it always made his heart pound but he was good at hiding it, he knew you knew about the money, but he also knew you thought about it the wrong way. When you was pregnant with Charles three years ago, your eyes landed on a pram that made you so much happier, and it would've been a great investment. A silver cross Balmoral pram, in the colour racing green. And when he saw you light up at it, he knew he had to get it.

So every day once a business deal was made, he went to the safe hidden in his workplace, taking a couple tens from it to save for the pram of your dreams, he must've saved over hundreds for you, without your knowledge.

"You alright love?" He spoke calmly, taking his coat and hat off, the money wedged into his pocket as he looked at you, he knew what was coming, you was going to confront him about the late nights and cash holds, but one thing he was sure he wasn't going to tell you, was that pram he was so close to buying for you
