She walks into the cafe through the backdoor and finds Logan with Leo on his arm. She smiles wide at Logan and he says: "Good afternoon Bonnie. Our little cub didn't feel like sleeping. And now it's almost time for his bottle."

Scorpia takes Leo from him and Leo yells happily: "Mommy!"

"Hello, my little pirate. Mommy missed you. Are you hungry?" She cuddles Leo and closes her eyes for a bit, while Logan fixes the bottle. "Mommy sat in a Maserati Quattroporte today."

Logan turns around. Fast. "What? Who's?"

"Flavio's. I had lunch with him."

Logan looks into her eyes and tries to find in there why she seems nervous.

She sighs and says: "We had lunch in a restaurant that's used as a cover for two gangs. Two gangs who abuse women. And Flavio wanted to teach them a lesson, to show them how to treat a woman. And to show them what respecting a woman gets you."

She looks at Logan and knows he's reading between the lines.

"Did you kiss him, Bonnie?"

"No! Well his hand, but that's it."

He stares into her eyes and knows she's truthful.

"Did you know about it before you left this morning?"

"No, I didn't Logan. Ciro only told me about the lunch this morning and we didn't talk about any details. Flavio asked me beforehand if I was willing to flirt with him."

Logan shakes Leo's bottle and asks: "No feelings between you two?"

Scorpia says: "He is gay Logan. And loves Ciro. But I can't say we don't feel anything for each other. He is like an extra big brother. We had to pull over after out act and laughed till we cried. And he got scared the second I mentioned you."

Logan cocks his brow and Scorpia says: "He forgot about you for a bit. He even wanted to come with me to tell you about it. And he asked me to warn him when you were on your way over to kill him. To make sure he had time to say goodbye to Ciro."

Logan chuckles and asks: "Flavio's afraid of me? Flavio?"

Scorpia says: "Everyone in the underworld is. Batman mask wearer and the one who killed half of Salvatore's gang. On top of that you're with the woman who ended Salvatore's life. And she's a decent boxer too, while she looks like a... well I don't know."

"Goddess. Dream. Sexy boss?"

She laughs and Leo makes it clear that he has waited long enough for his bottle.

Scorpia kisses him and says: "Sorry Leo. Daddy will feed you while mommy changes into something more comfortable." She walks over to the slim closet in the kitchen and pulls her leather pants out of it. She turns around to look at Logan and Leo and says: "Enjoy your meal Leo."

She runs upstairs and takes her jacket, skirt and heels off. She wiggles her toes and puts her leather pants on. She grabs a T-shirt from the closet and wears it on top of her bustier. She kneels in front of the closet to look for her boots, but then remembers they are downstairs. She gets up to walk downstairs and sends Ciro a message to ask him if she is needed back at the office today.

She walks into the kitchen and stares at Logan and Leo. Logan is holding Leo against his shoulder, with his big hand on Leo's back and it's such a beautiful sight that she tears up. Logan looks up from Leo to look into her eyes and smiles.

"Such a beautiful sight Logan." She walks over to her two men and rests her head against his chest.

He kisses her forehead and says: "He's already asleep. I'll tuck him in. I'll be right back."
