Too Late To Say Goodbye | Tommy Shelby {1}

88.

Bella felt really down the next few days.

She tried to leave the house as little as possible. Afraid that more people of Small Heath hated her like that woman does. And she didn't believe her heart could take another incident like that.

Still trying her best to help Tommy figure out the Italians as fast as possible, but now she was more hesitant with her suggestions, not wanting anyone else being hurt in the process.

When she was out, she stayed close to Tommy but always longed to be home with Charlie and Baby.

Tommy hated seeing her so anxious all the time. It wasn't the Bella he knows, and he would to anything to take it away from her.

Which is why he had tonight planned.

It wasn't much. He couldn't do a lot without being able to leave the city. But he worked with what he has and what he believes Bella would like.

Three days ago after the incident in the market, Tommy called Charlie, planning to have them set up down at the yard.

He knew it wouldn't take away any pain or guilt she felt, but he does hope it shows her how much he appreciates her.

So he was currently leaving the factory conference room as fast as he could. He told Bella to stay home today, telling her to rest.
Polly agreed to watch Charlie, so she wouldn't have anything to worry about.

The sun was setting as he walked into the house and not a second later he saw Bella's head peak around the corner of the kitchen with a smile.

He couldn't help but sigh in relief every time he saw that she was okay.
He knows she wouldn't do anything rash, especially with being pregnant. But sometimes he couldn't help but think about that terrible night on bridge. The night he almost lost her...

"Hi Tommy." She greeted him quietly

Putting his suitcase down on the table, he made his way over to her "Hi peach."

"Anything new?" She asked leaning her back against the counter as he rested his hands on it around her
He shook his head. "Unfortunately, no not yet." Then leaned closer kissing her lightly.
"But no more business tonight, come we have somewhere to be."

Furrowing her brows, not knowing where they could possibly be going.
"Where?"

Standing up straight, he held out his hand for her "you'll see. Promise it's not far."

"Oh okay." She said taking his offered hand, still confused about the situation.

Following him to the car. He helped her get in then made his way to the other side.

Bella sat in silence, still not understanding where they're going. If it was for business, she wants to be informed before they got there... but he told her no more business tonight, so she was at a lost.

Soon the car came to a stop and She recognized where they were right away.
They were at Charlie's Yard.

As normal, she waited until Tommy came around to help her out.

Taking his hand, looking up at him as she stepped down, "why are we here?"

"I have something to show you." Was all he told her, then placed a hand on the bottom of her back, leading her into the stables.

When they rounded the corner, what she saw made her stop in her tracks.
"What it is?"

A couple feet in front of them, stood Uncle Charlie and Curly. With a very nicely set table, candles, a small fire close to it and lovely pink rose in the center.
