My darling Thomas,
It is time that I told you the story of where you really came from, the story of your father and the Titanic. I am truly sorry it has taken me so long to tell you the truth behind your birth, and our lack of any family other than your Aunt Rose. Find enclosed in this parcel an old diary of mine. I apologise for my lack of organisation in my youth, no page is dated, and the whole thing reads more like a story than a diary. I hope it can give you the answers you have sought for so long.
I love you my darling and I will watch over you until we meet again. I hope that I may be reunited with your father.
Mother
Rose Calvert read the letter and passed it back to Thomas Ryan with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Tom, truly I am." Tom gave her a sad smile. "It's okay Aunt Rose, it was her time I suppose. I hope she got her wish and ended up with my dad though." At this, Rose could not help but give a small chuckle, remembering the times on Titanic when Charlotte had indeed found a way to be with Tommy against the odds if only for an hour. "Read the diary. I'll be a phone call away if you have any questions, though I suggest you would leave them until you've finished reading. All I ask if that you don't judge your mother or myself too harshly on some of our actions. We did what we thought we must." With this cryptic advice given, Rose hugged Tom and walked out of the room. Once he had heard her close the front door behind her, he made himself a cup of coffee, grabbed a box of tissues, and settled down to read his mothers story.
AN – Hey! So I have a small obsession with Tommy Ryan and there are nowhere near enough fics about him. SO I thought I'd write my own I own nothing but Charlotte and Tommy Ryan Jr :P Enjoy and review!
