"Hey, CeCe, are you ok?" Sophia asked as she came into the hall of the hospital that Celia was currently working in. She had the task of mopping down the floors. Fun. "You're looking pretty pale," she observed then.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Celia stated, but the face Sophia gave her made her realize that the woman had seen right through her answer. "Ok so I've felt a little sick. I think it might have been something I ate," she disclosed then.

"You really should be at home, sleeping then, Celia," Sophia pointed out, and Celia sighed.

"I'm fine, Soph, really. Besides, who's gonna clean these floors if not for me?" Celia stated, cracking a grin that made the nurse shrug her shoulders with a chuckle. She had a point.

"Ok, but please let Dorothy or I know if you start feeling worse," Sophia gave her another serious look. "I mean it," she emphasized, making Celia nod her head in an exaggerated manner.

She just wanted to get done with her work so that she could go home for the day. She had been feeling this way for a couple of weeks now: dissy, nauseous, clammy at times. She just figured it had been something she ate. But would those effects really last over weeks? She didn't know. Maybe she just kept eating something that wasn't agreeing with her.

Sophia eventually left her, and now Celia was on her own in the hospital's hall. She kept on with her mopping, choosing to ignore the headache that was starting to form in her skull. Maybe it's because of these damn hospital lights. She thought to herself. She never did like being in these halls for a long period of time. She kept going until the headache got worse. Blinking her eyes a couple times, she set the mop against the wall so that she could rest her hands on her knees and take a few steadying breaths. These breaths only made her feel more dizzy, and before she could stop herself, she was falling limp onto the floor in the hallway. The room was spinning, and her vision was tinted with a black circle in each eye.

"Oh my goodness!" she heard a woman shriek, but she didn't have the energy to see who it was. Footsteps rushed towards her as the black circle got wider and darker, and the last thing she thought before she lost her consciousness was: it's a good thing I'm at a hospital.

—

Celia didn't know exactly how much time had passed when she woke up. She saw that it was now dark out and figured that it had been a good couple of hours, considering it was the middle of the day when she was last awake. She was now hooked up to a couple of lines, bags hanging above her, sending what she presumed to be fluids into her body. She didn't get much time to herself as the door then opened, Sophia stepping into her room then.

The nurse's eyes widened slightly when she realized that her friend was now awake. "Celia! You're awake!" she shrieked, quickly moving to her bedside. "What the hell happened?!"

"I wish I could tell you," Celia stated, a miserable excuse of a laugh leaving her body then. Why was she so tired all of a sudden?

"Well we've got fluids going into your body now. That should help with the dizziness. Doctor ran some tests, and he should be in to review them with you as soon as he gets the results," Sophia explained, returning to the duties of her job. "I wish you would have gone home when I told you too," she jumped back into the friend role for a moment.

"Then I would have passed out there," Celia pointed out meekly, making Sophia sigh but not say anything more. She knew that the younger woman was right.

"I'll go see how the Doctor's getting on with those tests," she stated, motioning to the door before she walked back towards it, leaving Celia alone again.

No more than twenty minutes later, the doctor was walking through the door with a clipboard in his hands. "Hello, Ms. Farraday," he greeted her, a smile on his face. "I have your results."

"Great. Do they explain why I passed out all of a sudden?" Celia asked hopefully.

"Yes, they do. They have brought to light some interesting things, actually," the doctor nodded.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Celia's eyebrows were raised as she intently waited for the 'interesting things' to be told to her.

"You are about a month pregnant, Ms. Farraday."

"Excuse me?" her eyes widened at the news. Pregnant? How?...well Celia had an inkling of how, because she and Tommy had certainly been doing a lot of that recently, but she never expected that she'd fall pregnant.

"We ran some tests with your blood, and it came back conclusive that you are pregnant. It very well could explain why you've been dizzy and nauseous, as a great deal of first time mothers have reported feeling similar symptoms in their first trimester," he explained to her how he came to the conclusion, "you are a first time mother, correct?" he looked to her for confirmation then.

"Yes...I don't really...I don't kn...yes, I am," she stammered out, trying to explain her feelings before she stopped and finished her babbling with a head nod.

"Alright then. Well, I'll be having the midwife check in with you, because you will be needing to come see her for several check-up appointments. That way we can keep a close eye on you and baby as the pregnancy progresses," the doctor spoke then, but Celia was currently spacing out. This still didn't feel real to her.

"O...ok," she barely got out before he was heading towards the door.

"Thank you, Ms. Farraday," he nodded, opening the door before he spun to look at her, "oh, and congratulations." Celia smiled at his warm statement before he left her alone.

Moments later, Sophia was walking through the door. "Celia...I saw that Dr. Doby put in a request for a midwife's visit. Are you really pregnant?" she immediately started with the questions, and any bit of overwhelming feelings that Celia had worked to push down were coming right back up.

"Yeah, I am," it still didn't sound real.

"You're already a month along too? That could explain the dizziness and nausea you told me you were feeling," Sophia put the pieces together.

"Yeah. And I didn't exactly have my menses this month...though I thought it was due to the weird sickness I was having," Celia pointed out. That was true, at times her periods weren't regular, and despite trips to the doctors, she was never able to determine why. She was left with a bunch of maybes and was pretty much told to go and live with it.

"Well it kinda was due to the sickness you were having," Sophia pointed out the truth jokingly, making both women laugh. "Ah wow...that's really crazy though," Sophia shook her head after she had calmed down. "And it's Tommy's?"

"Yes," Celia answered, knowing Sophia didn't have any malicious intent behind her question. "Tommy cannot know about this. About me fainting or anything," she stressed then, looking Sophia directly in the eyes to show she was being serious. She couldn't even think about telling Tommy about this right now. She had to come to grips with the fact that it was happening herself.

The nurse just simply nodded. "I won't tell a soul until you're ready to."

"My goodness look at me...I'm just like my brother and his wife," Celia laughed in spite of herself once they had become quiet.

"How so?" Sophia questioned, her eyebrows furrowed.

"They had their first child out of wedlock. Katherine got pregnant when Joseph was on leave with the army. Samuel was born just before the war ended," Celia explained to her friend some of her brother's past.

"Oh. Well I think they turned out just fine," Sophia pointed out, making Celia nod slightly. "I think you're gonna be ok, CeCe. Think about how exciting this is going to be. A new baby. New life! I already know you'll be an amazing mother," Sophia smiled at her, making Celia's heart flutter at the compliments.

"How the hell am I gonna push this thing out of me?" she questioned incredulously then, her mind already on the stressful labor and delivery process.

Sophia laughed at her worries, "you've got at least eight more months until that comes," she reminded her. They got quiet then as Sophia shook her head with a slight laugh. "You and Tommy Shelby, Celia...having a baby. If you would have told me this about a year and a half ago when I first met you, I would have outright laughed," she stated then.

"I know, Soph. Please don't remind me," Celia pinched the bridge of her nose as a way to hopefully quell the headache she felt coming on. She had no idea when she first met this blue-eyed gangster in Mr. and Mrs. Robinson's tailoring shop that she would eventually fall pregnant with his child. She just hoped that he would be as inviting to the idea as she was quickly becoming.

After making sure her vitals were good and setting her up on a schedule with the midwife, Celia was allowed to leave the hospital. Given the circumstances, she was pretty much told to head home, being that she was unconscious for the remainder of her shift. She was sitting on her couch working on knitting something, a small blanket for her unborn child (could you blame her? She was excited), when a knock sounded on the door. Standing up and setting the work in progress on the couch, Celia walked towards the door. After unlocking it and pulling it open, she smiled to see Ada Thorne standing on the other side.

"Ada! What a pleasure it is to see you!" Celia smiled, stepping aside to let her in. "What brings you in?" she asked, the two of them walking over to the couch then.

"I came in to meet with Polly and Tommy. But of course, Tommy's already occupied," she responded, sighing as she spoke about her brother. "Have you seen him at all?"

"No. I've been at the hospital all day," Celia shook her head.

Ada sent her a furrowed expression, "hospital? Are you ill?"

"No. I work there," Celia answered, her statement not being a complete lie.

"Oh. Ok," Ada nodded, her eyes scanning the apartment. "That's a beautiful blanket you're making. Is it for Esme's baby?" she questioned then, her eyes shifting from the blanket to Celia, who was sitting rigidly. How the hell did she pick that up?

"No, uh...it's, uh...it's for me. For my...for my baby," Celia stammered out. She could have lied, but Ada was a smart woman. She would have found out and then been angry that she was lied to.

"You're baby?" Ada asked if she heard correctly, her eyes widening.

"Yes. My baby," Celia responded clearly this time.

"You're pregnant, Celia?" she asked the same question in a different way, almost as if she was trying to wrap her mind around it.

"Yes, I am," Celia nodded once more. She watched as Ada's straight face dissolved into a smile. One Shelby down, six more to go.

"That's amazing!" she cheered, leaning over to hug the woman across from her. "Did you tell Tommy?" she asked after pulling away.

"No. I only found out a bit earlier. I don't think I could tell Tommy yet. I shouldn't overwhelm him with this when he's got so much going on," Celia shook her head. Ada nodded along with her words. She then paused for a moment, contemplating her words, "do you think Tommy will be happy about this?"

"Of course he will. Why would you think otherwise?" Ada furrowed her eyebrows.

"Well because we didn't really talk about children, you know..." she trailed off.

"You know...Tom may be brash with us adults, but he's something else when he's around kids," Ada commented, making Celia smile slightly. She was starting to imagine her and Tommy with a baby of their own.

"Well when you tell him, please do let me know how he responds," Ada smiled at her and Celia nodded. The conversation then shifted to the recent happenings in London, and how Karl was doing while Celia continued on with her blanket.

Mom,

I'm sorry I haven't been writing. Things have been rather crazy here these past few weeks.

I wanted to write to you now because I have just received some rather exciting news.

I am preg....

"Celia?" Tommy's voice came from the door, making her jump and draw an unnecessary line through her paper.

"Shit," she muttered, crumbling up the paper before Tommy could see it. "Hi, Tommy. I wasn't expecting you," she looked at him, sending a smile in his direction.

"Did I make you mess up?" he questioned, a smile playing on his lips.

"You did. But it's alright. I don't think I was ready to send this letter yet," Celia responded, moving to the trash so that she could throw the paper out. Tommy furrowed his eyebrows but said nothing in response.

"Is everything ok, love?" he asked then, making Celia's stomach drop. Was he already on to her?

"Yeah, I'm doing just fine," she nodded her head before moving over to kiss his lips quickly. "How's your day been?" she asked him as she pulled away.

"Alright," he nodded, not saying much. "I was wondering if you'd want to join me. I'm supposed to meet with John about a problem that's happened in London. He said Esme's supposed to be there. Would be good for her to have a friend."

"I'll come with you," Celia shrugged, not having much else to do.

"Right then," Tommy nodded, watching as Celia grabbed her purse and coat before he followed her out of the apartment.

—

"Oh, you've gotta tell Tommy, Celia. He's gonna go mental when he hears the news," Esme grinned widely at Celia after she heard the news.

"I don't know, Esme. Don't you think he's a bit overwhelmed at the moment?" Celia was still apprehensive.

"Isn't that man always overwhelmed?" Esme pointed out. Celia couldn't help but laugh, nodding along with what the other woman said.

"So you'll tell him?" she asked, her eyes lighting up.

"If the time is right," Celia nodded, a smile on her face.

John and Tommy exited the snug then, coming to where the women were sitting in one of the booths. "You wanna leave, Es?" John asked Esme.

"Yeah," Esme nodded, sending a look to Celia then before she and John left the pub.

"Come back to mine?" Tommy questioned Celia, his eyes falling on her. She sent him a nod in response, letting him take her hand to walk out of the pub en route to his home on Watery Lane.

—

Celia didn't know how one thing led to another, but almost as soon as she and Tommy entered the house, he was kissing her. "Tommy," she chuckled at his eagerness, placing her hands on his chest as she attempted to separate the two of them. "Thomas," she tried his full name then, and sure enough, he backed away from her slightly. Calling him Thomas always seemed to get him to listen. "What's going on?" she asked him, searching his eyes.

"I love you," he blatantly stated, making her heart swell. Tommy really wasn't one to express his feelings through words. He showed her through buying her gifts, and he loved expressing them through physical touch, but it wasn't often that he said those three words to her. It made it even more special to her when he did.

"I love you..." she trailed off, giving him a kiss that he turned into two. "Are you ok?" she asked him then, her voice coming out as a whisper.

"Yes, love, I am," he nodded, his hand running down her cheek, his thumb brushing over her lips. Celia could see in his eyes that the gears in his head were currently working on overdrive, and she wondered if it was because of the meeting and conversation he had just had with John. She knew better than to ask him though, knowing full well by now that Tommy needed to come to her with these things. "Just need you to distract me," he breathed then, his lips just centimeters from hers as he spoke.

She let out a soft laugh along with a breath, her hands finding his cheeks so that she could pull him back slightly to look at her. They searched each others' eyes for a moment before she spoke, "I'd be happy to," she smiled at him, pulling him in then for another kiss.

They blindly found their way over to the couch then, Celia falling back into it before Tommy moved on top of her, their lips slotting back together. "Thank you...for getting me...out of my head," Tommy breathed out, kissing her lips with each pause he took. "Makes all this shit worth it," he said as his lips moved to her neck and he began placing open-mouthed kisses to her soft skin. Celia breathed out a sigh of satisfaction, a smile on her face as she then slipped her hands under Tommy to start blindly unbuttoning his shirt. Once she was done, she pushed on his shoulders, making him get the message and move to take it off. Suspenders fell down then before she was raising his undershirt over his head, leaving him shirtless above her.

She smiled as she ran her hands over his smooth chest, gripping his shoulders then as she pulled him down to her lips once more. "Mmm, love you, Tommy," she whispered, like it was a secret for only him to hear. He didn't repeat the sentiment, but instead kissed her harder and with more passion, his one hand moving south to slide up the bottom of her skirt while the other got tangled within her hair.

This was the time, she thought to herself. She'd tell him now. "I need to tell you something, Tommy," she managed to speak between the kisses he was giving her.

"What, love?" he asked, his voice husky as it came beside her left ear.

"I'm..." she wasn't able to say anymore, the door to the house opening and sending her mind into a scramble. Who the hell just barges into a house without knocking?

"Tom, I...oh shit, sorry brother," it was Arthur. Celia could never mistake that voice for someone else's. If she wasn't in such a compromising position, she would have jumped up and ran to give him a hug. He had just been released from prison two days earlier and she had yet to see him. "I didn't see anything," he muttered then, a smirk in his voice.

Tommy mumbled something to Celia then before he did sort of a push-up on the couch, making sure she looked decent before he rolled to the side so that he could stand and face his brother. "Just fuckin' knock next time," Tommy told him, no anger in his words as he spoke. Arthur nodded, smiling over at Celia then, whose face he was just now able to see.

"This probably isn't the best time, but John boy and I found that address," Arthur spoke then, eyes focused on his brother, who was in the process of putting his clothing back on rather than Celia, who was currently fixing her hair in the mirror that hung above the fireplace.

"Now's as good a time as any," Tommy nodded, clearing his throat then, "I'll come with you." He then turned to look at Celia, a cigarette hanging from his lips as he patted his pockets down for his lighter. Seeing it on the ground, Celia knelt down and picked it up before handing it to him. "Thanks, love," he smiled, lighting the cigarette before looking at her as he continued, "I've gotta head out," he stated, not really giving her the option to ask him to stay. It wasn't like she was going to, anyway. He was about to turn before something dawned on him. "You had something to tell me."

"Oh, yeah. It was..." she trailed off, contemplating whether or not it was a good time now, "it was nothing. It can wait," she brushed it off, deciding that now, right before he was about to go and handle some business with his brothers, wasn't the best time to tell him that he was going to be having a child.

"You sure?" he checked with her, his brows furrowed as her tried to sus her out. She hoped that her façade was strong enough.

"Yes. Now, you need to go," she pointed out, motioning to Arthur who was still, rather awkwardly, waiting by the door. "Be safe, please," she stressed her final word, almost wanting to add you've got a baby to come home to, but she didn't.

"I will, love," he smiled at her, leaning down to kiss her lips quickly before he turned to Arthur and started to walk. He made sure he had his gun fastened in his holster before he and Arthur exited the house. Celia sat on the couch with a sigh, her hand falling onto her stomach without thought. She then smiled to herself, the full realization of it over her now. She was going to have a baby.
