VIVIAN SMOOTHED OUT THE BLACK, SKIN TIGHT DRESS WHILE STARING AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR.

Debbie was in the living room, playing with Liam while the older siblings were getting ready for the party Deanna was throwing for the newcomers.

Finn came up behind Vivian, moving to slip on a sweatshirt, 

"You look like mom." He commented,

"Ouch." Vivian replied, turning and grabbing a jean jacket from the chair, "Way to hit me where it hurts."

Finn rolled his eyes, "I didn't mean it as an insult."

"I didn't think you could mean that in a good way." She slipped on some casual sneakers and moved to grab Liam's shoes

"Well, I meant it in a good way." He opened the door, "Debs, come on!"

"Coming!" The redhead held Liam's hand as they approached the front door. Vivian grabbed Liam, plopping him on the bench and sliding his shoes on before tightening the velcro, 

"Ready, buddy?"

"Yeah!" Liam grabbed his toy fire truck before getting off the bench. He ran out the door and Debbie was quick to follow after him.

"She hasn't been this happy in a while." Finn stated as they walked down the street behind the kids, towards Deanna's house, "Not since Emmett and Isaac."

"She deserves to be happy. Both of you." Vivian responded, 

"You do, too, big sis."

Liam hid behind Vivian's leg as they entered the house. Some of her group was already here, like Carl, Rick, and Carol. Rosita and Abraham were behind them, and Vivian was quick to compliment the woman, 

Women were quick to flock over to Vivian, gushing over the toddler that soon got over his nervousness and let them pinch his cheeks. He showed them his toy, recounting the time they got to ride in a fire truck when they went to Atlanta.

Debbie left to go talk to Carl, while Finn went to go get himself and Vivian a drink.

Judith let out a squeal at the sight of Vivian, and her chubby arms reached out for her. Carol handed the baby over to the woman and she was quick to bounce her around, 

"I've missed you, baby girl." Vivian kissed her head, smiling at the sound of Judith's giggling.

Maggie and Glenn had joined her after Finn delivered her drink and ditched to go make conversation. Liam was quick to show the man his new fire truck toy and Glenn entertained the toddler by playing with him.

"Do you two want kids?" Vivian asked the remaining Greene as they both watched the Korean,

"At first, I couldn't imagine having kids in this world. But here... here we can live." Maggie smiled gently towards her husband, "Beth would've loved it here." Vivian hummed in agreement, taking a sip of her wine, "What about you and Rick? You guys want to expand your family?"

Vivian scoffed, "There is no me and Rick." She gulped down the rest of her glass and glanced over at the sheriff, who was drinking and speaking with Reg.

She saw the way he kept staring at Jessie. The way he no longer looked at her.

Maybe his feelings for her weren't real. Maybe she was the last available woman, and he needed two get laid.

If Jessie made him happy, Vivian needed to respect that.

The trio spotted Noah standing on his own and wandered over to the kid, "Hey. You okay?" Maggie asked him,

"Yeah." He nodded, "Yeah. Just isn't really my thing."

Vivian understood. They had been out there for so long, fighting not only the dead, but the living. Gathering under one roof for a social gathering with booze and finger foods was something in the past for them, and it was hard to acclimate.

"I think I'm gonna head out."

"No, no." Glenn shook his head and smiled, "You're not bailing. We're in this together, man."

"You're here with us now. You're here with family." Maggie told him.

Noah gave her a gentle smile and Vivian wrapped an arm around his shoulder. She didn't want him to feel like an outsider, despite him being the newest one in the group. Beth cared about him, therefore they did, too.

Vivian had gone and grabbed another glass of wine when a man came up to her. He was in a casual button up and a pair of jeans, his hair perfectly styled that seemed to go well with his stubble.

"Hi, I'm Spencer." He greeted, holding a hand out for her to shake, "Deanna's son."

"Oh, so I'm assuming you've heard about..."

"The incident with my brother? Yeah, he wasn't happy with it. He deserves to have his ego knocked down a bit." Spencer smiled at her,

"Yeah, I would apologise but..." Vivian pursed her lips, "I wouldn't be sincere about it."

"Don't worry about it. My mom was glad it happened, too. Knock some sense into him." 

Vivian caught Rick's eyes over Spencer's shoulder as he continued talking. It was a hard stare as he took a sip of his alcohol. She wasn't sure if he was jealous or just indifferent.

She excused after a few minutes to go find Liam and Debbie. She walked past the bathroom door when it opened and an arm grabbed her before pulling her inside.

Before Vivian could make a sound, a hand covered her mouth. She was pinned to the door and Rick stared down at her, his eyes dark. She knew what he wanted.

His hand slid down from her mouth, and he gently pushed the strap of her dress down her shoulder.

"Please." Vivian whispered,

He began to back away, confused with her request. Vivian grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him down to press her lips to his own, "It's okay." She mumbled against his mouth, "I'm okay."

Rick pulled her away from the door and pinned her back against the counter. He grabbed her thighs and lifted her, setting her down and standing between her thighs.

Vivian whimpered as his hands gripped her hips and ground his crotch into hers, "Fuck, Rick." She pulled away from him and began unbuttoning his shirt,

He stopped her, "Not enough time." Rick grunted, unbuckling his belt and moving her panties to the side.

She gasped as he entered her. Vivian forced herself to keep her eyes open, watching his face. As long as she could see him, she won't have another freak out.

He's not the Governor. That man was dead. He couldn't touch her.

But Rick could.

 Vivian leaned back against the mirror, her back arching as he continued to pound into her. Rick slid the dress up her torso, exposing her body to him, pausing at her breasts.

Her ankles crossed on his ass, pulling him closer to her. Rick pressed his thumbs into her nipples as his hands wrapped across her torso, using it as leverage to increase the power in his thrusts.

Vivian's whimpers and cries got louder, causing Rick to pull out and drag her off the counter. Before she could say anything, he turned her around to face the mirror before inserting himself back inside her.

Rick stuck his fingers in her mouth to keep her quiet, "The entire town is outside that door." He grunted in her ear, his hips slapping against her ass, "You want them to know how hard you're getting fucked? You want that guy you were talking to to hear you?"

She moaned around his fingers, her tongue curling around them. Her hips dug into the edge of the counter, and she knew they'd be bruised tomorrow.

Her eyes didn't leave his as they started at each other in the mirror.

"Please." She mumbled around his fingers, wanting him to understand her.

She was so close.

Rick pulled his fingers out of her mouth and gripped her hair tightly, pulling her head to the side to reveal her neck.  At first he placed gentle pecks, which was an interesting contradiction to the aggressive thrusts into her core.

And then came the teeth. And his fingers trailed down to her clit. Vivian's mouth dropped open but before she could make a sound, someone knocked on the door,

"Anyone in there?" A deep voice called out,

"Gonna need a minute." Rick grunted out as Vivian gripped the countertop, her orgasm rolling through her. He covered her mouth to keep her from crying out.

Her legs shook and almost gave out as they could hear the footsteps walking away. Vivian pressed her forehead against the counter, trying to catch her breath as Rick continued to pound away. Her bare torso was pressed against the cold marble, putting life back into her as Rick finished inside her.

She heard his zipper and Vivian pushed herself up with her arms. She opened her eyes and went to speak, but the bathroom door quickly opened and closed.

Rick had left her in the bathroom, alone, and basically naked.

What the fuck?

Tears filled her eyes as she fixed her panties and pulled her dress back down. Vivian attempted to fix her hair before stepping out of the bathroom and back towards the party.

Vivian made a b-line for Liam, grabbing his hand before searching for Judith, "I think it's time to put the kids to bed, don't you think, Carol?" She asked the older woman, who grabbed the baby from Carl,

"Do you want us to come with?" Debbie asked,

"No." Vivian gave her a smile, "You two have fun. I'll see you in the morning." She gave her sister a quick peck on the head and squeezed Carl's shoulder,

"Are you okay?" Carl asked, staring up at the woman and noticing her sad face,

"I'm fine. I'm all good. See you tomorrow." She stated before her and Carol went towards the front door.

Vivian was slipping on her jacket when she spotted Rick in the living room, speaking to Jessie with a smile on his face. Her heart shattered at the sight.

"You're not okay." Carol stated, adjusting Judith in her arms as they approached the gun locker, which was Olivia's house,

"Doesn't matter." The two woman came to a stop and Carol handed Judith over, "Be quick."

Carol nodded and went towards the side of the house, where the window was located. Vivian stayed on watch, bouncing Judith on her hip while holding Liam's hand, who was trying not to fall asleep.

A few minutes later, Carol came out from the house, with Sam in tow, "I thought you were on watch."

"I was. Must've slipped through the back." Vivian kneeled down to look at the scared looking boy, "What are you doing out here alone, kid?"

"I already gave him a talking to." Carol sighed, "C'mon, let's go."

Sam went back towards Deanna's house, where his mother was, while Carol and Vivian walked back towards their group's house, "Did you get them?"

The older woman dug into her bag and pulled out a revolver, handing it over to Vivian. The brunette nodded, sticking it into her waistband before grabbing Liam's hand again.
