VIVIAN
Viv peeked out the window to find Repo sitting in his pick-up truck across the street, watching her house. He was a fucking dog with a bone and Viv worried that Cillian wasn’t going to be home any time soon. That wasn’t her only worry—hell, she was consumed by every thought that ran through her head of what could go wrong. She hoped that the call she put into Savage would give her some new news but his husband, Bowie, answered his cell and told her that they had no word. He promised to call her just as soon as he had any information for her but that had been hours ago.
“Where are you Cillian?” she sobbed, cupping her little bump. “Your Daddy is starting to worry me, Baby Bean.” There was a soft knock at the front door, startling Viv. “Fuck,” she swore.
She pulled the front door open to find Repo standing on her porch. “Can I come in?” he asked.
“Is he all right?” she asked. God, she needed for Cillian to be all right. Viv hated the way her voice wavered. She didn’t sound as strong as she wanted to, but she wouldn’t hide her worry.
“Kills fine,” Repo said. Viv walked into the family room and sunk onto the sofa.
“Thank fuck,” she said. “I’ve been so worried. Is Chloe okay?”
“Chloe’s fine. Let me finish Viv,” Repo said. “He’s alive and he got Chloe out of the Dragon’s bar but you need to come with me.”
“What? Why?” she asked.
“You’re in danger. I’ll tell you about it on our way to Savage Hell, but I need for you to grab your things so we can get out of here.” Repo stood over her as if waiting for her to make a move to follow his orders. A part of her wanted to protest but the thought of putting herself or her baby in danger wasn’t a chance she was willing to take.
“How long will I be gone?” she asked.
“As long as it takes to keep you safe, Viv,” Repo whispered. “Kill said to pack some of his things too and close the diner for a few days.”
Viv nodded at Repo, “I’ll be ready in ten minutes,” she promised.
“I’ll wait here,” he agreed.

Repo pulled up to a house that sat about a half-mile down the road from Savage Hell and Viv unbuckled her seatbelt, anxious to get in to see Cillian. “Viv,” Repo said. “Before you go storming in there, Kill was involved in a little fight while he was in with the Dragons.”
“Oh God,” Viv sobbed, raising a trembling hand to her lips. “You said he was alright.”
“He is, but he’s a little beat up. Savage’s kids are here and little Chloe has been through hell and back. I just didn’t want you to freak out,” Repo whispered.
Viv nodded, “Promise,” she said. All she cared about was getting to Cillian. The rest would work itself out. A big bald man with a salt and pepper beard came out to stand on the front porch and smiled at her. “That Savage?” she asked.
“Yep,” Repo said. “Come on. I’ll introduce you to everyone and you can check on your guy.” Viv got out of Repo’s truck and followed him to the porch.
“You must be Vivian,” Savage said, holding out his hand.
“Nice to meet you, Savage,” she said, letting him take her hand into his. Savage pulled her into his big body and gave her a bear hug that nearly choked the life out of her.
“You mind putting my woman down?” Cillian grumbled. Savage chuckled and released her into Cillian’s arms. “Feck I missed you, Baby,” he said.
Viv stood back from him and looked him over. “You look like shit, Cillian,” she whispered. Viv reached her hand up to gently cup his bruised chin. “Does it hurt?”
“Not much,” he lied.
“You’re a horrible liar,” she teased.
Savage laughed, “She’s got you there, Cillian. How about you two say your hellos and then come to find us inside. We have a lot to work out in the next few hours. Sun will be up soon and we’ll have to move.” Viv watched as Savage disappeared into his house and wrapped her arms around Cillian’s waist.
“Are we really in danger?” she asked.
“Yes,” Cillian breathed. “I’m so sorry, Baby. I didn’t mean to get you caught up in all this. We can’t stay here until things are sorted with Dante and the Dragons.”
“What happened?” she asked.
