Maggie never had a true home spent her childhood going to different gypsy families only seeing the sheblys during the change overs.

Even when young she knew if there was a shelby coming by it was time to move to a different family.

A NEW home to get use to along with people to meet, learn about. each time she learned not to get attached not to let them in or to love them. for they were not her family nor were the Shelby's.

By thirteen the war was looming words of threat and doubt were storming about. "polly will be over today" Martha the old fortune tell said.

"You're true journey will began with this great dark times end"

"where too now?" the dark hair lady sighed and looked at the girl "to Small Heath my little crow."

"i just hope these folks dont have so many babies, i've changed enough nappies for a life time." the sound of distaste made polly smile.

"well ive hadnt any babes for a long time now."

"we've decided its time for you to be in a more solid home with us." Polly answering the perplexed look on maggie face.

" the boys are all joining up, they don't want to wait to go off and dogging bullets. They want to make sure we are all together. "

At the home only one fire burned and every one sat around the kitchen table. polly entered first not noticing the look on Maggie's face.

"ah our little bug is here" Arthur welcomed the odd girl in, almost making her come into the main room then to hide by the door.

Little finn looked confused for she hadn't seen him since he was crawling.

"ello" she whispered

" my, my, now you can do better then that cricket" muttered Thomas Shelby eyes pricing into her green ones.

" helllo"

she projected a bit louder. Smiling he got up put his glass down and came over to the girl.

"How nice it is to see you again Maggie. i'm sure you'll be a good helpful girl for polly.'

tommy had usually taken maggie to each new home in the past. He always said the same thing each time they were welcomed into the place.

The girl would always have a special place inside his heart. Gram as her father and had no chance to seeing his child come into this word. Tommy made the boy a promise that lasted a life time to him.

"Maggie come sit with us for a spell."
