Mary carried a sleeping Charlie in her arms. the boy had fallen asleep on her. She rubbed his back, soothing the child who had been crying all day long for his father to come home. Tommy had been distant, busy...lost. She understood he had to get himself busy because when he didn't, he became restless. She understood he needed to keep himself focused on the business, to keep his sanity. She understood why, but Mary couldn't just let him ruin his relationship with his son. She wanted him to have one. She sang lullabies to the child, soothing his little heart in the process but she had made up her mind. They needed more family time! She would talk to Tommy when he returns home. She would ask him to buy a secret hideout for the family. His business was risky and the Peaky Blinders had so many enemies that it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine they'd try to hurt Tommy's family. Mary would suggest another house, maybe by a lake or by the sea. She would suggest they have a secret hideout for when things would become really dangerous for them.
A secret hideout, a place their family could be together so they could spend some quality time together. Their son was missing his father. Mary was missing her love...They needed to get together and to rekindle their connection. She pressed a kiss to the sleepy kid's forehead and smiled to herself. Their family...the idea made the nurse blush. Their family... She had not heard Tommy confess his feelings to her, but she could feel it. She knew that Tommy loved her and he knew that she loved him too. Words had not been said, things have not been official yet. They haven't been seen in public as an official couple yet, but, there were feelings between the two of them. He added her to his will and she did the same with both Charlie and Tommy. Mary didn't want to replace Grace, but she also knew that she couldn't hide her feelings any longer. She loved Tommy and she hoped that he would see her as his last love. she hoped that he would be willing to build a family with her and that together, they would live a long life. Their family... It had such a nice ring to it. Mary promised their son that she would make sure daddy would come back home and spend time with him. They would ride horses, they would talk, and he would play the violin to Tommy. She promised Charlie that he would make beautiful memories with his dad again.
At home.
At the secret hideout.
