Vital Signs

A/N: I didn't know what to expect writing a story on here. Especially a fanfic. I love this little TNN community on Wattpad. Thank you for being so wonderful and supportive.

A little bit of Shivian for everyone, and some cheeky Amelia.

'How was your day Bon Bon?' Vivian asked over the phone.
'It was ok,' Siobhan felt trapped at the moment and let out a defeated sigh.

Because they were trying to gather evidence against Roger, everyone thought it best for her safety that Siobhan stay out of sight. This meant no trips to the hospital, no trips to the Nursery. Not really going anywhere. Of course they were probably right about it being safer and after the last time she saw Roger it was clear he had wanted to kill her, but being trapped, again was taking its toll.

'Hopefully it will all be over soon, hey?' Viv was trying to keep Siobhan staying positive.
'I hope so,' Siobhan paused and held her breath. 'Viv?' She asked, shyness evident in her voice.
'Yeah beautiful,' hearing Viv call her that made Siobhan blush. The way the nurse said it so easily, as though it were true and she meant it. Siobhan hadn't heard it like that before.
'I miss you,' Siobhan's voice suddenly went dry.
Vivian let out a deep breath and Siobhan could hear her smile, 'I miss you too Bon Bon'. The nickname made her feel happy.

'How's Jamie? Is he happy to be back at the Nursery?' Siobhan just wanted to keep talking to Viv. She didn't want to think about Roger or any of it right now. She just wanted to be in a world with Vivian, where she could be happy and be herself. She never had to pretend with Vivian.

They talked for a while in their own bubble. Vivian told Siobhan about Jamie asking her when she could have another baby because Sorscha had been showing Viv baby Quinn photos that morning. 'I think he believes they just come via Amazon delivery,' Vivian giggled and that made Siobhan laugh. 'Ah, there you are with one of my favourite sounds Bon bon,' the two were silent for a moment.

'How about I pick you up after I drop Jamie at my mum's for the night tomorrow afternoon? We can get takeaway and come back here and watch movies?'
'I,' Siobhan wasn't sure why she hesitated, she would love to. 'Ok. Yes. Ok. That sounds great. Good.' She felt her face go all red.
'Great. See you at 4,' Viv said. Siobhan wanted to scream with excitement, but of course she didn't, 'Night, Bon Bon,'
'Goodnight Viv,' Siobhan took a deep breath after realising she had been holding it through a lot of the phone call.

'Date?' Siobhan practically fell off the chair at the sound of Mia's voice behind her.
'What?' Siobhan glared at the redhead who was giving her a cheeky smile.
'That was Viv right?' Mia didn't wait for an answer, 'I know that look'.
'We're just going to hang out and watch a movie,' Siobhan rolled her eyes at Mia and took a sip of her tea.
'I hope not,' Mia winked, 'also the siblings and Lily are on their way back'.

Siobhan took a deep breath and felt the need to straighten her back, pull her top down, comb her fingers through her hair. Why did Mia have to be like that and suggest things? Viv was her friend. She made her smile. She treated Siobhan with kindness. I like her. Like. She's just a friend.

Siobhan walked back into the kitchen and couldn't help but smile when Viv came to her mind. She was going to spend time with her friend tomorrow.

When Autumn, Reece and Lily returned home from the grey house, they laid everything out on the kitchen bench. Winter had arrived back quickly from visiting his parents when Autumn's text had come through informing him of her little late night break in. He wasn't happy that Autumn had gone and put herself in danger, but he knew that he could never have stopped her and he wouldn't have anyway. It was Autumn. He loved everything about her, her stubbornness, courage and determination included.
