At the age of 19, finn shelby is the baby of the family. But not for long. As a face from the past comes back to haunt him and brings with her a little girl. Finn is quick to find out the child is his and will do everything in his power to care for...
Lydia's birthday is coming up very soon. Its on Saturday so we are going out for a picnic and then everyone is going back ours for cake and drinks. I hadn't the slightest clue what to get her and the day was coming dangerously fast. I was sat in a family meeting whilst lyd was with her tutor since its monday
"Finn" I heard my name repeated
"Huh?"
"You're not fucking listening. Do you have a clue what I just said?" Tommy asked
"Sorry Tommy" I apologised trying to focus. After the meeting had ended, Tommy made me stay behind. He got me a whiskey and sat down infront of me
"Yes?" I asked
"What's wrong? You're out of it today. Whatever it is I can fix it or atleast try" he said.
"Thanks Tommy. As you know it's Lydia's birthday on Saturday and I still don't know what to get her. It's driving me fucking insane. I mean, what do you get a 5 year old girl? It's not like it can be the same as I get my nieces because she's my daughter so it's gotta be special" I explained
"Right. I think I've got an idea" he said. He then began to explain his idea and it was genius. Lydia would love it

My tutors were all very boring. But finally for last lesson I had ballet. I loved it so much. It was alot of hard work but also really fun. I wasn't on pointe shoes yet thank god. They look very painful. But i will be in the next few years according to my teacher
"plier, etendre, relever, sauter, tourner, glisser, and elancer" she instructed over and over again. I was getting tired but I had learnt not to complain. She would never hit me but my god was she a scary teacher

I watched as lyd danced to the teachers instructions. She looked so adorable dancing but I could see by the redness in her face that it was getting difficult for her. A watched a few minutes more before walking over and clapping
"That's was brilliant baby" I said.
"Daddy" she squealed as she ran over to me. I spun her around and kissed her cheeks before setting her back on her feet
"Let's take a look at ya" I said admiring her ballet outfit. She spun around for me
"Gorgeous. Look like a professional" I complimented

"Thank you daddy. Can we finish now?" She asked looking at the teacher
"Very well Lady Lydia" she said nodding her head before packing her things and leaving
"You're back early" Lydia said holding my hand and walking over to the sofa. I flopped down on my back making me giggle and pulled her so she was sat on me
"I wanted to see my princess didn't I?" I said tickling her. She let out a squeal and then i heard the door open
"Jesus. Does nobody knock" I complained as I saw my brothers walk in
"We need to talk. Now" Tommy said. It sounded urgent so I put Lydia on the sofa and went to go speak with my brothers. We went into the dining room and I closed the door behind me
"So whats wrong?" I asked. My brothers exchanged glances
"Oh fucking hell just tell me" i groaned sitting on the table
"It's Rosa. She's coming out of prison. We don't know when but i hear it's soon" Tommy said
"Well we're shelbys. Can't we find out?" I asked angry
"There is no date to find out. I've already threatened everyone I can but the court havnt settled for a date therefore I can't get information from anyone. I've been told it will be some time in the next month. Maybe weeks. Even days" he said. I rubbed my hand through my hair in annoyance
"Well she doesn't have custody. So it won't affect us" I said standing up
"Actually it will. You got full custody of Lydia however we both know know Rosa is a selfish bitch. And she will do anything to get her own fucking way" he told me. I hated to agree but he was right. Rosa wouldn't just walk away from our lives no matter how much I want her to
"Lydia can't know about this. I won't have anything ruin her birthday" I told my brothers who agreed
"Erm finn..." John started
"No I'm being serious. Lydia has had crap 5 birthdays so her 6th birthday is gonna be one to remember" I said.
"Finn. Turn around" John told me looking down. I whipped my head around and saw

"Lydia" I said
"It's OK daddy. I trust you. I know you won't let her take me" she reassured me walking off. I sat down and groaned loudly
"Fuck" i screamed
"Finn, calm down. Rosa can try but she won't get close to lydia" Arthur said
"WHY IS SHE OUT? AFTER WHAT SHE DID?" I yelled slamming my fist on the table
"Because she committed no law in England. All laws broken were in France so although she still gets a punishment, it's not nearly as bad as it should be unless she is moved to a French prison which won't won't because of her nationality and the fact she's already here in england" Tommy told me. I tried to keep it together infront of my brothers but it was hard
"No. No I can't- I can't have Lydia taken from me again. I can't. I've already been so close to losing her and i-" I started to cry infront of my brothers god damn it. But instead of telling me to man up like a assumed, Tommy engulfed me in a hug and rubbed my back
"Let it out. We have a plan. We are going to put men outside the prison. The moment Rosa steps outside, they follow her. Once away from the coppers, she will be shot and gone from our lives forever" he explained. I wiped my eyes and nodded my head.
"Daddy. Why are you crying?" I heard Lydia ask. She ran into the room and jumped on my knee to give me a hug
"I'm fine baby. Just a little worried is all" i told her kissing her cheeks
"Mothers stressing you out isn't she?" Lyd asked
"Yes she is" I admitted
"She has that affect on people I'm afraid. If its any consolation, I give my full permission for you to kill her." My daughter said making me laugh
"Weirdly that helps" I told her. She smiled kissed my cheek and then ran off
"That little girl is a shelby. And we're not gonna let her go anywhere" Arthur said with a smirk on his face which was the smirk he wore before going into battle. Normally, screw that, always ends with him killing someone. This time, I'm actually looking forward to it
