I was in London for a business deal with Alfie Solomon for the weekend. Arthur and John were with me aswell. As we sat in the dingy room, a man entered on a hurry looking terrified to his core

"T..Thomas Shelby. There's s...someone on the ph...phone for you" I rolled my eyes at his stuttering. Stupid man. Too scared to even speak properly around me.

"Tell them to fuck off. I'm busy" I replied

"It's your aunt a...about y...your s...sister. The y..youngest" I nodded to him and stood from my seat

"Excuse me gentlemen" I said as I walked out of the room. I grabbed the phone from another nervous looking man and told them to piss of so I could speak with my sister in private.

T: Hello pol
P: Tommy, this meeting better be over soon. Rose misses you and she refuses to go to bed until you've said goodnight. It's Sunday Tommy meaning it is your night to put her to bed
T: fuck. I forgot. Right, put her on
R: T..Tommy

She was crying loudly and it broke my heart. I should be there with her

T: Hi angel
R: where you?
T: I'm in London. I will be there in the morning I promise
R: now
T: no not now love. I'm sorry darling but London is too far for me to be there now
R: but miss you
T: I miss you too. So much. I'll make it up to you. I promise
R: You tell monster bye bye
T: ye. I will tell the monsters to leave you alone. Be a good girl for aunt pol. But give finn hell for me. Love you
R: wuv you Tommy

Then she hung up the phone and I felt so guilty. How could I forget? If I knew then I never would've come to London. I would be there with my angel reading her a bedtime story and telling the monsters to piss off. But I can't. But I will make it up to her no matter what it takes.

I slept in Finns bed last night. He told the monsters to piss off. I'm glad but it was Tommy's night. Not Finns night so it didn't feel the same. Finn helped me get dressed. Loads of kids were going to school but aunt pol says I'm too little. She said maybe next year although I don't want to go school. Having to leave my family for 6 whole hours. Not gonna happen.

I was in the kitchen eating my toast when I heard something outside. It was a car parking outside the house which meant Tommy must be home. Aunt pol lifted me onto her hip and walked outside with me. My 3 brothers came running out of the house to give me lots of kisses and hugs as they tickled me til I almost wet my pants. Tommy lifted me onto his hip

"Now how bout I make it up to ya ay?" He asked

"Tommy, you not here wast night" I said. He stroked my hair and kissed my forehead

"I know love. I'm sorry. But we are going to charlies yard and you are going to ride the biggest best horse there is. Then will you forgive me?" I smiled so wide

"Yes Tommy. You sorry" I kissed his cheek as he got in the car

I kept Rose on my knee whilst I drove the car to Charlie's yard. When I pulled up, rose started bouncing excitedly

"Excited love?" I asked chuckling

"Geegee tommy" she said pointing to a big black horse

"Ye baby. Pretty geegee ain't it" I replied. We got out of the car and I helped her run towards Charlie. She had her little hand wrapped around my finger so she wouldn't fall in the mud

"Uncle Charchee" she screamed happily as he crouched down to lift her up

"I heard Tommy's been a mean arse" he said making me roll my eyes

"He not here last nigh" she said giving me daggers. Ouch

"Well then, i suggest we find you the best horse ever to cheer you up" he said as he walked towards big black horse. I saw roses eyes light up in amazement as she stroked the horse.

"Tommy. Me want dis geegee" she said. I smiled at her and got on the horse. Then, Charlie lifted rose on infront of me as I helped her grab hold of the reins. We trotted along the yard slowly at first so she would get used to it. Loud screams of laughter could be heard from rose and it even made me laugh with her.

"You like the horse then rose?" I asked her

"Ye. Tank you tommy" she said but it was soon followed by fits of giggles as I sped up the pace. After half an hour of riding, the horse stopped and Charlie lifted rose off as I made my own way down.

"Uncle charchee, can I have own geegee pweeaseee" she begged

"You, my love, can have this very horse. And you can name it if you'd like" he told her. Roses face lit up and she hugged Charlie tightly

"I name geegee.......summer" she said happily.

"Gorgeous name for gorgeous horse" I said to her. She smiled again and Charlie helped her give summer an apple. We spent the entire day at charlies yard until it started to get dark

"Say bye to uncle Charlie and summer" I told her

"Bye bye uncle Charchee. Bye bye summer" she said waving as I put her in the car with me. Charlie waved back as we drove off. Rose sat on my knee and I expected her to fall asleep from our long day. Not to mention she didn't have a nap this afternoon. But as i walked in pollys House with her in my arms, she was wide awake and talkative as ever.

"Aunt powy" she yelled as pol came in to give her a kiss

"Did you have fun?" She asked

"Me got geegee and I call her summer. And Tommy wet me wide geegee" Rose replied happily. Aunt pol smiled at her happiness but then looked at the time

"Tea will be ready in 15 minutes love. Why don't you go wash up. The pair of you are covered in mud" she said as she walked off to lay the table. I carried Rose upstairs and since we didn't have time for a bath, just grabbed a warm cloth and wiped the mud off. I then put her in a comfy onesie

I carried her down and she lay her head on my shoulder

I carried her down and she lay her head on my shoulder. By the time we reached the table, I could hear her soft snores

"You're gonna have to wake her. I'm not feeding her at 3 in the morning because she wakes up hungry" polly said as everyone started eating

"I'll feel her if she wakes up" finn said as he took her from me and went upstairs to put her in her cot. He then walked down stairs and said

"Why does she still have a cot if she is 3 and can climb out of it?"

"Because she refuses to get another bed. You know what she's like. Still has her clothes that don't fit her because she doesn't wanna throw them away" Arthur replied. I knew finn wouldn't be feeding her at 3 in the morning. I knew exactly what would happen. Rose would wake up. Go to finn. He would be so tired and grumpy that he would tell her to piss off so polly will end up feeding a very grumpy 3 year old. But as long as it wasn't me, I didn't really care
