Thomas's POV



                          
A/N: This might be the last chapter to my book, really didn't think much into this book if i'm being honest, i didn't even know if i would finish it. I hope y'all enjoyed it i might write another thomas story, maybe arthur or john story too, still thinking. 


                          
Long chapter!!

                          
I looked between her and polly, polly smiling uncontrollably, Marline looked shy, "you are pregnant?" i asked again, she stood up slowly walking toward me, "thomas" i hear her call out my name, god this woman, just the way she says my name, i walked over to her lifting her up, i hear her squeal, "another shelby, our home will be filled one day" i shouted, gently placing her, "our?" she says, "i want to spend the rest of my life with you Marline, i know if you want to take some time to think about it" i say, she places her hands on mine, "well mr shelby, i think you already know my answer, i lost you once, i don't plan to lose you again" she replies. 

                          
For the next 6 months, there have been preparations for the new baby, i had many businesses to attend, "are you busy thomas?" i shot my head up to see marline standing in my door way, i shook my head, "what's wrong?" she sit on the chair in my room handing me a paper, I skimmed through the paper and shot my head up, "you sold your old house?" I asked, she nods, "since we've been talking about getting a new house, I decided to sell my old one, and a good news, one of my men found another house not to far from here, if you are willing we could check it out sometime" she says smiling, god she was beautiful, "maybe Sunday, Polly, ada and John kids will be visiting, we could all go see the house together, what do you think?" I ask, she gets up and walks towards me smiling heavily, "perfect, I need to go to the market to get a few things to make for Sunday" she says, "I'll have Isaac and Joshua follow you" I reply, "I'm capable of holding my own Thomas" she says, "I know love" I reply she planted a kiss on my head before walking out of the office. 
                          
The next day I had the boys gather around, we had a few business to take care of, I had a visit to London, to finalize a few shipments. 
                          
I walked in later that night and Marline was on my bed, "how was your day?" I say as I took off my coat and cap, she walks around the bed and puts her arms around me, "great, how was yours?" She asks, "could have been better, so how's my baby doing?" I say taking my shoes off, "your baby?" She ask with an eyebrow up, I laugh, "oh come on, it's all jokes" I say, "I know, say Thomas would it be okay if I take the kids out tomorrow, it's a Saturday and there is a fair near by, i think it would be fun" she says, "I don't see why not, as long as I'm welcome" I say, "I wasn't planning on leaving without you" she replies I took of my second shoe and jacket before laying down beside her, she quickly lays her head on my chest, "I love you Thomas Shelby" I hear her say before she drifted away into sleep, "I love you too my dear Marline Gar- Shelby" I say. I've always wondered what my life would be like, a gangster like me, would I ever get to have that life, a wife, children, as I looked at Marline all I could see was happiness, "I love who I am with you" I whispered. 
                          
The next day we got everything ready, Marline woke up and prepared everything we needed for the fair, Mary had woken up Charlie and Kaiya, she had gotten them ready, as they both ran down the stairs, I thought to my self, 'there wasn't anything I wouldn't do for them', "are we ready?" Marline slightly shouts, "yes mommy" Kaiya says, I looked at Charlie, "yes mommy?" I hear him say, Marline turns around as I looked at her there were tears forming in her eyes, she quickly rushes to him, "oh honey, I love you so much" she says as she lifts him up, "careful of the baby" I say, she scoffs at me and carried Charlie out to the motorcar.
