A blonde bombshell from Australia washes into the Garrison one lucky day. Charlotte Wilson was easily the most hostile person ever. Especially towards men, but could one certain man with beautiful blue eyes be the end to all of her hostility? Who wa...
The next day came and Alfie was knocking on Charlotte's door. She was still in bed because she was tired and it was early in the morning. "I'll kick this door in, Charlie." Alfie yelled. She groaned as she got up and walked to the door. She opened it and he stormed in. Charlotte locked her door and got back in bed, completely ignoring Alfie. He walked in and laid across the foot of her bed. "Why are you here so early?" She asked as she covered her head with her comforter. He crawled up the bed and pulled the covers off of her face. "To see how the talk went with Tommy." "This couldn't have waited until the sun came up?" She asked as she turned away from him. He pulled her back to face him. "I couldn't wait any longer. Now tell me." "You're worse than a girl." She said as she sat up and leaned against her headboard. She told him what was said between the two. "So he was happy?" "I think so....I hope so." She said. "So are you getting back together?" "He's with Grace and I don't want him to be with me only because of the baby. I want him to be with me because he wants to." "So you do want to be with him?" He asked excitedly. She made a face at him. "No." "You so do." She crossed her arms and he laughed because he knew he was right. "Ask him to leave Grace." "I am not doing that. It's not my place and I'm not a pick me girl. If he wants to be with her, that's his choice." "He'll leave her. He loves you and everyone knows it." He said. Alfie lightly grabbed her face with one hand. "I mean how could he not want to be with you and these cute little cheeks." He joked. She slapped his arm away and sank back down in her bed as he laughed. "I mean you're just so sweet. Who wouldn't want to be with you." He said sarcastically. "I'm going to sleep now." She said. "Wish I could join you, but I have to finish a meeting with Tommy that some Australian girl interrupted a few days ago." "I heard she was pretty though." She mumbled from under the covers. "Ehh I've seen better." He joked. She hit his arm and he laughed as he got up. "Have fun." She said. "I won't." He said and then left. Charlotte slept for a few more hours and then got up and got ready to go see everyone.

She walked into the office and Tommy was the only one in the main room. He nearly smiled as he walked over to her. "Still haven't learned your lesson about wearing skirts in the cold?" He asked. "Just thought I'd look nice while I can still fit into my clothes." He was about to respond until Ada walked out of her office and yelled. "Oh my God. Char! You really are back!" Ada ran over to her and hugged her and then everyone else came out of their offices. Arthur hugged her and then Polly took her turn. She pulled away and looked at Charlotte with a smile and then looked at Tommy. Polly could sense she was pregnant. It was her Gypsy blood. Just then Charlotte felt strong arms lift her from behind and spin her around. "CW!" John said. Michael and Finn took their turns and Finn held on a little longer and it made John and Arthur laugh. John was smirking at Charlotte. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked. "You're single now...how about you take another Shelby brother for a ride." Charlotte had wide eyes and Tommy was strangling John in his mind. "Yeah...I wouldn't mind that." Arthur said. "Me either." Finn drooled. Charlotte looked at a 15 year old Finn. "I'm not a Shelby brother, but I wouldn't mind it either." Michael said. Polly hit his shoulder and he grabbed it. "Hey! I asked first!" John yelled. All the guys started arguing and Tommy rolled his eyes. "Aye." Tommy yelled, making them stop. They looked at him. Tommy looked at Charlotte and she nodded. "There's something we need to tell you." He said. "I'm pregnant." "And it's mine." Tommy said proudly. "You're really pregnant?" Ada asked. "I am." Charlotte smiled and then turned to the side to show her tiny baby bump. Ada hugged Charlotte. "I'm going to be your baby's aunt!" Before Charlotte could respond, someone slammed the office door. Everyone got silent and turned around to see Grace, who clearly heard everything. "You're pregnant?" She asked Charlotte. "Oh shit." Arthur mumbled. "I am." Charlotte said. "And who's the father?" Grace asked. Everyone looked at Tommy. Grace's eyes went wide as she stepped closer. "You have something you want to tell me, Tommy?" "Charlotte is pregnant with my baby. I found out last night." "When you were at the "office" for work?" Grace said sarcastically. "Grace." She threw her hands up and stepped back. She looked at Charlotte and stepped in front of her. "How do we know it's actually Tommy's? It could be her husband's." "I can give you a very detailed schedule of the last time I had sex and who it was with." Charlotte spit. "How about I give you a very detailed description of what happened the night you walked in on Tommy and me?" Grace smirked. "You pride yourself on being a mistress. How sad." Grace didn't have a response. "Tommy, you and I will talk later." She said and then left. Everyone was silent as they looked at each other. "Not saying you're lying, but how do you know it's Tommy's?" John blurted out. "Well four months ago was when Tommy and I were together and I didn't have sex with Noah when I was home." "And how did you get away with that?" Polly asked. "I told him Tommy gave me the clap." They all had wide eyes and John and Arthur were struggling to hold in their laughs. "Did he?" Michael asked quietly. "No. He didn't." She laughed. She looked at Tommy who looked concerned. "You didn't." He sighed of relief and everyone laughed. "Polly.. do your magic." Ada said. "What?" Charlotte asked. "She can tell if it's a boy or a girl and she's never wrong." Ada said. "I want to be surprised if that's alright." She said as she looked at Tommy. He nodded. "I think that's a great idea." "Well I still want to know. I won't tell anyone." Polly said and then touched Charlotte's breasts. Charlotte cleared her throat and looked up. Polly backed up and smiled at the two. "Ah now I want to know!" Ada said. "How did you get away from Noah?" Polly asked. "Yeah...I would actually like to know that as well." Tommy said. She told them about her and Chases's plan. "You two will go with her whenever she leaves somewhere. She will not go anywhere alone." Tommy said to Finn and Michael. Both of their faces lit up. "Okay!" Finn said. The guys all talked and Polly pulled Charlotte to her office and Ada followed. "You have to tell us. Are you getting back with Tommy?" Ada asked. "He's with Grace. I'm not getting in between that." "But we hate her. We want you and Tommy to be together. I mean think about how cute your little family would be." Charlotte gave Ada a look. "Do you want to be with Tommy?" Polly asked. Charlotte was silent and then Ada started to get excited. "I do, but like I said....I'm not telling him because he is with someone else." Ada groaned and threw her head back. "Have you lost your fight?" Ada asked. "It's his choice, Ada. It's not my place to break it up. I'm not Grace." Polly squeezed Charlotte's shoulder. "I also don't want Tommy to be with me just because of the baby. I want him to be with me because he loves me." "Well he does love you." Ada said. "Well I'll have to hear it from him and then we'll go from there." Tommy knocked on the door and came in. "Charlotte, can I speak to you?" She took his hand and the girls smirked at her as they walked out. They got to Tommy's office and he closed the door. "What is it, Tommy?" "I'm sorry for what I did to you four months ago." "Tommy that was a long time ago." "But if I wouldn't have messed up...we would be together." He said as he held her arms. "And if I would've told you the truth about me earlier..." "That's not your fault. You had no choice, Charlotte....but I do." "What do you mean?" She asked. He held her face. "I want you, Charlotte. It's always been you. I want to be with you." "But Tommy." "And I don't just want to be with you because of the baby." She smiled and put her hand on his chest. "I'm telling Grace tonight. I know we have a lot of things to work out and talk about, but I want this and I want you. When I said I wanted to live in a big house someday...I wanted to live in it with you." "I want that all too." She smiled. Tommy sweetly kissed her and then pulled away. Ada and Polly were watching. "I'll come by tonight around eight, okay?" He said. She nodded and smiled and he kissed her cheek. He opened the door and Ada and Polly quickly turned around. Tommy shook his head. "I'll see you tonight." Tommy said and then kissed her hand. Charlotte smiled and then left. Ada and Polly came by her house later to get the scoop on what her and Tommy talked about. Charlotte couldn't wait for Tommy to come. She redid her hair and put on a simple dress. They day went on and Tommy was at his house as he waited for Grace to get home. He kept checking his watch and it said 7:50. Finally she walked in and he wasn't wasting time. "Grace, we need to talk." "Yeah, we do." She said. "How could you not tell me!" She yelled. "I found out last night, but that's not what I want to talk about." "So what then, Tom?" "I love her." He said quietly. "What?" "I love Charlotte." He blurted out. She had wide eyes as she stepped back. "Tommy." She yelled. "It's the truth. We were never going to work out. I can never trust you again after you betrayed my whole family." "I thought we were passed that." She yelled. "We don't love each other. We used to, but not anymore. I love her, Grace...and I never thought I would love again until she came here....so this..whatever it is..is over. You can stay the night to pack your things. I'll go somewhere else, but I think you should be gone by tomorrow." He started to walk out, but she said something. "No, Tommy. This isn't over." "Yes it is." "No, love...it's not. You leave me for her and I'll tell about that night with the Irish men. Campbell is still in love with me and they're looking for the killer...and I'm sure he would love to hear from me." She smirked. "The police came in when we were in there. The case is closed." "Well I heard from my contacts that they reopened it because the wife of the man you killed wouldn't stop asking questions after she saw his face. The police think it's self defense, but all I have to do is say your name and you will hang." "You shot a man too, Grace." "But it's my word against yours. Former agent of the crown versus a low life gangster. That won't go your way. So this is what's going to happen. You will stay with me and act like you love me or I will snitch on you and ultimately you will die and never get to meet your precious child." "You won't win." He said. "But I will get to see you break her heart again and that'll be fun for a while." "Fuck you." "Brush up on your acting skills...or just tap into those lovely memories we made a long time ago because you have to make this believable. If you breathe a word of this to anyone...I will bury you leaving your baby without a father." She said and then left. Tommy slammed his fists on the counter and yelled. "So fucking close."
