Peaky Blinders Imagines✔️

Tommy- Comfort

This was requested by @severusssnapesimp it's a sad one so buckle up!

Christmas time has always been YN's favourite time of the year especially since her and John got together and had children of their own. The day is full of love and happiness. John even proposed to YN in December underneath a Christmas tree.

YN hears the front door of hers and Johns house open and a voice she knows well, Michael
"Tommy wants everyone at Charlie's yard"
"What's gonna happen it's fucking Christmas man"
"Look, John, we don't have time for this" YN walks out the door to see johns cousin stood outside
"Micheal we're going to see you all tomorrow, look the kids are excited"
"Tommy says that they could come for us today"
"Tommy says, Tommy says. Are you his fucking parrot?"
"John who's coming for us?" YN asks her fiancé
"It's the Mafia alright! It's the New York mafia we're talking about" Michael shouts while YN stands next to John
"John?"
"We're fine YN. We're the peaky fucking blinders"
"No we're not John. We're not the Peaky fucking Blinders unless we're together. You were together in the gallows with one man missing. John, come to the meeting. All right? Think about the kids"
YN then starts to hear horse shoes getting closer "come to the meeting and if you want to leave, then fine"
"No. It's Christmas Day" John replies "we're staying at home" thats when YN notices a man jump from behind a hay bail
"John!" YN screams as she hears a bang. Pain and a burning sensation radiates through her stomach. John and Michael are quick to get their guns out and shoot. As YN looses consciousness both John and Michael are hit.

YN hears her name being called faintly. Then again but this time a little louder, and again now it sounds like someone is next to her. Slowly she opens up her eyes to a bright light. Blinking she takes a few moments to adjust. She tries to sit up, but is pushed back down gently by her brother in law Tommy
"Carful ay"
"The kids" YN manages to croak out
"Safe with Polly" Tommy pours a glass of water for YN and helps her to take a sip
"And John where he?" she asks looking at Tommy waiting for an answer
"Let's get you sorted first ay. You hungry?"
"Tommy where's John" there's a pause
"YN I'm sorry..." no. Tommy never says sorry. He couldn't be. Not YN's John
"No. No he's fine. Where is he?" She asks again trying to sit up
"YN please lay down"
"I want to see him"
"YN he was shot. He... he didn't make it. His last words were asking me to keep you and the kids safe and that's what I'm going to do" realisation suddenly hitting her like a ton of bricks.  She had lost her fiancé. The man she loved and was going to spend the rest of her life with was dead and there is nothing she can do about it.
"He's gone?" she gasps as tears now spill out of her eyes "johns dead" Tommy wraps his sister in law up in his arms as best he can
"Shhh I got you"
"I'm alone. I have to raise my kids alone" she cries into Tommys chests
"Your not alone. I promise your not alone" he whispers into YNs hair "you've got me"
"Do the kids know?" YN cries
"Yeah. Polly's told them"

For the following weeks YN and the kids move in with Tommy so that she's not alone. He comforts her every night when she cries herself to sleep, after having to be strong all day for the kids. Nothing will happen between the pare, but YN's glad she is still part of the family and always will be.
