Chapter Text
Long hours at the precinct was not what Caitlyn had in mind today, but here she was…sitting in her office with her face buried in a file. Crime rates had gone up in the past three months thanks to this new drug called shimmer; Caitlyn had been tracking down a drug lord named ‘Silco’. Which was pretty difficult for her to keep track of because of his intelligence to throw off the law, sure she’d arrested some of his men…but none of them would rat on him; which led her back to square one with the investigation.
Caitlyn flipped the case close and leaned back in her chair with a heavy sigh in defeat; she soon heard a knock on the door “Enter” she called out. The door opened and there stood her second in command Steb and her girlfriend Maddie Nolan; Steb entered the office while Maddie stood in the doorway “Sheriff we have a problem down in the interrogation room” Steb reported. Caitlyn sat up in her chair “what is it?” She sternly asked, Steb took a step closer “We have a girl down there, we found her outside a bar in Zaun on patrol bloody and beaten. We’ve tried to get information out of her but she’s a closed case” Steb finished.
Caitlyn furrowed her brows in irritation, this wasn’t how her night was supposed to go. She sighed and got up from her chair “let’s go” she said as she and Steb made their way to the door. As Caitlyn exited the door, Maddie grabbed her by the wrist; Caitlyn turned her head in annoyance “Caity, can we talk…you know about last night?” Maddie whispered. Caitlyn rolled her eyes and snatched her wrist away “now is not the time” Caitlyn spat out. And with that, she gave Maddie a venomous look and walked away. Last night, her and Maddie had an argument; Maddie came over to her place drunk. Maddie had accidentally told her that she kissed another girl at a bar. Caitlyn wasn’t the one to end a relationship over one mistake but this wasn’t the first time Maddie had did something so stupid.
When they arrived at the interrogation room, Caitlyn looked through the glass to see one of her enforcers in the girls face screaming. The girl looked troubled, the right side of her face was bruised…the bruises was yellow and purple with blood streaming down the right side of her temple; Her nose was bloody, it looked like it was bloody. Her grey t-shirt was shredded, and it was bloody and filthy. And as the enforcer screamed for answers, Caitlyn could see the girl was in fact afraid; she saw the tears in the girls eyes threatening to spill, she could see the girls chest go up and down quickly.. the enforcer slammed his hand on the desk. And that did it for Caitlyn, she couldn’t watch this any longer; so backed away from the glass and entered the room.
The door swung open with force which caught the young enforcers attention along with the frightened girl “enough of this Vincent!” She shouted, Vincent backed away from the girl “Sheriff…” Caitlyn talked over him “I will not tolerate you taking advantage of this woman understand?!” She shouted, Vincent looked at the girl in disgust and then back at Caitlyn “Sheriff…but she’s a Zau-“ Caitlyn cut him off “excuse me! No matter where she’s from! She’s still a human being is that clear?!” She yelled out. Vincent quickly nodded his head in understanding “Leave now!” Caitlyn ordered, she couldn’t believe any of this…couldn’t believe how this world was so venomous and cruel. She watched Vincent leave the room, she then turned her attention to the troubled girl.
She walked over to the table cautiously to make sure to not frighten the girl more; she looked at the girl intently….the girl had grey blue eyes, her hair was a dark red color, she had freckles run across her nose and Caitlyn noticed the scar across her upper lip along with another one on her left eyebrow. She also noticed a piercing in her left nostril along with a few in her ears. And lastly, the girl had the number six in Roman letters on her left cheek; in Caitlyn’s eyes…Vi was a daydream, bruises and all. She slowly sat down in the chair across from the girl and put on a smile to ease the tension; she cleared her throat and began to speak softly “Hi, I’m Sheriff Kiramman, Can you tell me your name?”
———————————
She didn’t want to be here….but she had nowhere to go, at least she was safe; Vi didn’t understand why this Piltie enforcer was yelling at her…what did she do besides run away from her abusive foster dad. Was she in trouble for running away? Would that trash of a father really stoop this low…she should just report him; it’ll be all over if she just report him…but she can’t. He’ll come after her…he’ll hurt her like he does every night but worse. No matter, she’ll just keep running…she knows she can’t physically fight the guy because of her stupid heart condition but she won’t give up…she has to fight for her sister.
Her thoughts were interrupted by her eyes catching the door opening; she looked over to see a woman…a woman in a special uniform….a beautiful woman? The woman had on some special blue uniform, with a white beret…her hair was neatly put in a bun; her eyes were like ocean bliss blue that sparkled, her face structure was stunning. She watched the woman’s every move, all she heard was silence though…she wish she could hear the woman’s voice but all she heard was silence; the woman looked angry though, given her hand movements and her face scrunched up…she was enraged. So angry the enforcer basically almost pissed himself; Vi tried to read the woman’s lips but she was just moving her lips too fast. Eventually the man left in a hurry and the woman was now seated across from her.
She saw the woman speak…but then again the woman was talking extremely fast; but Vi wasn’t even paying attention if she was being honest, she was too distracted by the woman’s beauty. And her damn smell…the smell of roses and strawberries; Vi unknowingly looked down at the woman’s mouth and saw the little gap between her teeth…she almost melted. She blinked tremendously to refocus, she somehow felt safe around this woman and didn’t know why; normally she’d let hearing people talk their asses off just to make an ass off them but this woman in front of her….she couldn’t. So she waved her hand to stop the woman from talking, pointed at her left ear and shook her head indicating that she’s hard of hearing.
At first the woman looked at her stunned but soon smiled at her with a genuine look and pulled out a notebook with a pen. She looked at Vi once more before writing something on the notebook; Vi looked around to distract herself from looking at the woman but her eyes always found the woman. Soon, the woman gently slid the notebook towards Vi and waited patiently; Vi was hesitant at first but soon looked down and read it. “I’m sheriff Kiramman, and you are?” Vi read, and Vi couldn’t help but faintly smile at it; Vi didn’t bother to write anything, instead she pointed to her upper left cheek and tapped the tattoo. She saw Kiramman smile in acknowledgment.
Vi sat there patiently as Kiramman wrote in the notebook, she slid the notebook to Vi and it read “Vi you want to tell me what happened to you?” Vi’s smile desiccated from her face, images from hours ago entered her mind; her foster father beating her senseless….him taking advantage of her….her hitting him before bolting out the door. She couldn’t tell the sheriff…she couldn’t tell because she knew he would find her and do way worse.
————————
Caitlyn didn’t know what she had said for Vi to spiral into a corner of the interrogation room, Vi shook her head and abruptly got up from the chair to back away from Caitlyn as if she hurt her. She tried her best to ease Vi but Vi wasn’t having it; Vi backed into a corner and held herself, Caitlyn did want she could…she slowly made her way to Vi and knelt down in front of her. She slowly put a hand out to let Vi know that she meant no harm; she’s read about talking slowly to hard of hearing people so they could read lips. And that’s exactly what Caitlyn started to do “hey…I’m not going to hurt you….you can trust me” she slowly said.
She saw Vi tilt her head trying to process, and then unknowingly, Vi took her hand; she smiled at Vi and helped her up and over to the table. As Vi sat down, she heard a faint growl…Vi was starving. She tapped VI’s hand to get her attention and she slowly spoke “wait here, I’ll be right back…” she got up from the chair but was stopped by VI’s hand around her wrist; she looked over her shoulder to see the terrified look on VI’s face. She turned around and smiled at Vi to reassure her; eventually, Vi let go and Caitlyn left out the room.
When she exited the room, Steb and Maddie were waiting outside. “Steb I need you to call a medic to get her patched up…I also need you to get her something to eat and some water to hydrate her. Maddie call a translator” she ordered. Steb nodded and left, while Maddie stayed behind “Caitlyn, are you really going to waste your time on this Zauntie?” Caitlyn snapped her head towards Maddie “say that again? Just because we’re dating doesn’t mean the rules and regulations don’t apply to you” Caitlyn spat out “look at her though…you really don’t think she’s just another teenage junkie who-“ Caitlyn snapped “Nolan you are walking on thin ice!” She yelled out which made Maddie taken aback.
Maddie straightened herself out and cleared her throat “fine…whatever you say….Sheriff” she said with a hint of mockery in her tone. She looked at Caitlyn one last time and excused herself. Caitlyn sighed in annoyance and looked over at the interrogation glass; and there she was Vi hunched over the table, the poor girl just looked exhausted…this was indeed going to be a long night. In the meantime, Caitlyn took the opportunity to try and find some more information on Vi.
And so, there she was…sitting in her office, her face deep in VI’s file;
Name: Violet Warwick
Gender: intersex
Age: 18
Nationality: Zaun
Mother: Felicia Warwick (deceased)
Father: Vander Warwick (deceased)
siblings: Powder Warwick (location unknown)
Foster information:
Foster father: Kenny Clark
Address: Zaun, 1221 Copper lane appt.23
Caitlyn got a gut feeling when she saw VI’s foster fathers name, so she looked it up.
Name: Kenny Clark
Gender: male
Age: 43
Nationality: Zaun
Relatives: unknown
Work place: Oil Ridge
Criminal record:
Charged with: Armed Robbery, Assault with a deadly weapon, Drug use, Sexual assault, abuse
Case sealed.
Caitlyn was stunned, all of these charges and they let him foster care children; she knew the law system was indeed messed up but she never knew it was this bad. She was interrupted by a knock and Steb speaking from the other side of the door “Sheriff we’re ready”. It took a moment for Caitlyn to regain her composure, she took a deep breath, closed the file and got up from her seat.
—————————
Soon, Caitlyn was back in the interrogation room sitting across from Vi; she watched Vi look at the sandwich that sat in front of her…Vi even picked at it as if the sandwich was laced with something. She tapped VI’s hand to get her attention, Vi looked up looking hostile “it’s okay…I promise it’s safe to eat” she said. She watched Vi look over at the translator and then soon, she saw Vi ease up a little and slowly pick up the sandwich. When Vi bit into the sandwich, Caitlyn could see VI’s face melt into heaven; she looked better thanks to the medics patching her up.
She tapped Vi once again and spoke “Vi, do you have anywhere to go tonight?” The translator sighed back to Vi; and Caitlyn could see Vi tense up, she saw Vi look away but she nodded yes. Caitlyn didn’t buy it but she didn’t want to overstep “alright then, once you’re done…you may leave”
—————————
Vi knew she shouldn’t had went home; knew she had a chance on the streets then here; because the second she got home, the beatings continued. It happened all so fast, she remembers walking in the door and then the next thing she knew…she was on the floor holding the back of her head. She hadn’t had time to process it but Kenny started to kick her repeatedly in the stomach; it got so bad she started to get dizzy. And then Kenny picked her up from the floor by her shirt and threw her across the room; she slide across the living room table and on to the floor once more. At this point, Vi didn’t know what was happening…she became confused the second she hit the ground a second time.
She felt his strong hands grip her; one hand gripping her hair and then the other gripping her shirt to pin her to the couch. Vi hated this part…hated that she was too weak to fight back, she had no choice but to take it; so she closed her eyes and let it happen……
About thirty minutes later, Kenny had passed out from the amount of alcohol; but Vi laid there frozen, tears rolled down her face, her side was throbbing and she had never felt so alone. She rolled over with a wince of pain and pulled her pants up; she quietly got up from the couch and tip toed out the apartment, she can’t go back here…she needed to get away. She was eighteen meaning she was no longer obligated to stay in that shithole. So she ran…ran as fast as she could, no matter how bad she was hurting, no matter how dizzy she felt.
She ran and climbed, she climbed all the way up to Piltover because she knew if she stayed down in Zaun, Kenny will find her; so she went up and ran some more. She ran up until her legs gave out and the dizziness took over; she collapsed on a sidewalk…she didn’t care though, she was more safe here than at home.
————————————
Caitlyn was finally on her way home, she made sure to avoid Maddie any way possible; she was sitting in her car ready to drive off, when she got a call from Steb. “Hello?” She answered as she started the car “Sheriff, that girl from earlier….we’ve rushed her to the hospital, she’s critical. She won’t let anyone treat her, they need you here” Steb said from the other line. Caitlyn furrowed her brows in concern, she knew she shouldn’t have released her; she knew something was wrong. “I’m on my way”
About ten minutes later, Caitlyn arrived at the hospital; and there, she saw multiple nurses trying to treat Vi including her father Tobias. She saw Vi swing at a nurse which made two enforcers to hold her down; it only made Vi freak out more, so Caitlyn bolted to pull the enforcers off “enough! Back away now!” She shouted the enforcers immediately let go….she didn’t see it but, VI’s fist connected with her cheek “Caitlyn!” Tobias shouted in concern, she didn’t answer; she just hovered over Vi and pinned her hands to the hospital beds.
Caitlyn looked Vi in the eyes with nothing but genuine, letting Vi know that it was okay…she was safe; and so, Vi started to calm down. “That’s it, you’re okay” Caitlyn said slowly. Caitlyn slowly let go of VI’s hands and backed away; Vi eventually sat up and made sure to focus on Caitlyn, because Caitlyn made her feel safe. “We need to treat her dear” Tobias said, Caitlyn nodded her head and stepped in front of Vi “my father will treat you…he’s good” she slowly said to Vi. Vi looked over at Tobias and he smiled at her; she looked back over to Caitlyn for reassurance, and Caitlyn nodded. And so with that, she nodded in acceptance and let Tobias roll her away.
It was about thirty minutes later when Tobias came back to speak with Caitlyn. “Caitlyn dear, we have a serious issue. This girl here has a severe heart disease called Cardiomegaly or in other words, an enlarged heart” he finished Caitlyn’s no doctor but she’s pretty sure by the way her Father's face was that this was bad. “What’s it mean?” She asked “an enlarged heart can cause fainting, cardiac arrest or even sudden death” he states. Caitlyn furrowed her brows and crossed her arms “and what can cause those outcomes?” She asked “stress, certain activities to cause her heart rate to pick up intensely…Caitlyn, her in these conditions…she may not survive it this keeps up”
Caitlyn sighed and rubbed her temple “another thing….I fear she’s been violated, given the evidence on her body but she won’t let me give her the kit” Caitlyn’s nostrils flared “I’ll handle it” was all she said before her father led her to VI’s room. When Caitlyn got to VI’s room, she saw Vi sitting up in protective mode; she closed the door behind her and made her way to Vi, Vi sat there frozen not knowing what to do with her hands…so she interlocked them “Vi….what happened?” She saw Caitlyn say. She couldn’t say…or Kenny will get her, he said so himself; so she shook her head no.
For some reason, Vi started to cry and that gave Caitlyn all she needed to know; she needed more evidence to start an investigation. She wasn’t about to let this poor girl out of her sight, it was too risky given her heart problem…she’s already been through too much. “You’re coming home with me” she said before she could process it herself. After all, Vi was eighteen and she had nowhere to go. And to Caitlyn’s surprise, Vi didn’t argue. Instead, she nodded her head in acceptance; maybe because she could finally rest or because she knew she was now safe.
This enforcer made her feel safe than she ever did in her entire life, and for once in her life…she’ll take the opportunity to rest. And so, Vi limped out the hospital with Sheriff Caitlyn Kiramman; Caitlyn helped her to the car and opened the front door. Vi hesitated for a second before getting in the car; Caitlyn closed the door and made her way around to the driver side, soon she got in the car and drove off. The car ride was quiet than Caitlyn anticipated only because five minutes into the dive, Vi fell asleep. Every once in a while, Caitlyn would look over at Vi and smile; she could tell Vi doesn’t get a lot of sleep because of the bags under her eyes.
They soon arrived at the condo building; Caitlyn owned the condo at the way top of the building for privacy….which was good, no one will mess with Vi. She parked her car in the parking lot and Vi woke up in a instant; she looked over at Caitlyn with tired eyes, “we’re here” she saw Caitlyn say with a smile.
This is indeed going to be interesting…..

Chapter Text
Vi never expected this apartment to be this huge and expensive; it looked so expensive, she made sure to not touch anything when Caitlyn guided her in. It was really weird for Vi, they had to take a long elevator ride up; and then she was met with a huge living room, with a huge glass window that showed the city. Up against the window was a soft black sofa along with a matching set of recliners sat at each end of the carpet; there was a glass coffee table sitting in the middle of the carpet.
What caught VI’s eye was the piano that sat in the corner of the living room by the glass window; she was very fond of music…always loved instrumentals. Vi turned her head to the left to see a staircase leading up to the second floor; and up under the staircase was a small bar, and down the hall was a half bathroom? Vi was stunned at this point….all of this was just downstairs? She slowly walked towards the living room and turned her head to the right once more and saw a hallway, she looked at Caitlyn for permission; Caitlyn smiled and nodded, and with that Vi started to walk down the hall.
The hallway took a hard right and she ended up in the kitchen, VI’s jaw clenched; the kitchen was huge…too huge for her liking if she was being honest. The very first thing she saw was a long black marbled countertop with black high chairs tucked underneath, the stove was placed in between the counters; above it was glass cabinets, she looked across to see another countertop with a sink. And at the end of the counter tucked in a corner was a grey silver refrigerator; Vi was amazed at how beautiful this kitchen looked.
Vi was so caught up in the moment, she barely felt Caitlyn’s soft hand on her shoulder; she turned her head to see Caitlyn smiling at her “let me show you to your room” she saw Caitlyn say, she nodded and followed Caitlyn through the kitchen and to the staircase. When they reached the top, Vi looked up and saw another hall; on the left side was four rooms and on the right was also four rooms….Vi almost choked at how many rooms she was seeing. Caitlyn guided her to the first room on the left and opened it; Vi entered first, Caitlyn followed. When Vi entered, she saw a good king size bed with a dresser along the wall across from it. In the top right of the room was a good sized Tv; Vi didn’t care for the bed or the Tv…what caught her eye was the beautiful scenery she saw through the glass window.
The moonlight shined bright in the room lighting it up, and all Vi could do was stand there and soak it up; Caitlyn stood behind her in admiration. That was until Vi turned around to face her with tears in her eyes with a smile; Caitlyn didn’t want to overstep so she cleared her throat and nodded her head to the door.
When they exited the room, Caitlyn showed Vi the bathroom that was at the end of the hall and her bedroom which was the third one on the right from VI’s. Vi stood in the hallway while Caitlyn went in a room and came out with a set of clothes and some essentials for wash; she handed Vi the essentials and pointed her towards the bathroom. For some reason, Vi was afraid to leave Caitlyn or in her case…she was afraid of being alone for just a little; she looked at the empty bathroom scarcely and a memory popped in her mind. She remembers taking a shower one night at home, Kenny came home drunk and beat her out the shower; she don’t take showers without fearing of getting beat senseless.
She looked back at Caitlyn and shook her head no, Caitlyn furrowed her brows in confusion and concern “Vi…you’re safe…no one is going to hurt you” Caitlyn slowly said but Vi kept shaking her head no; so Caitlyn did what she could to make Vi feel safe…… “how about I stand outside while you freshen up? I’ll protect you” Caitlyn reassured Vi. Vi was reluctant but it was better than nothing, so she agreed. About ten minutes later, Vi was in the shower with the door slightly cracked while Caitlyn sat outside. Caitlyn wondered what got Vi so upset, why was she so afraid? Caitlyn sighed, she has a long road ahead to make Vi better…not to mention the shimmer case.
Caitlyn’s thoughts were interrupted by the door opening, Caitlyn got up from the floor and was met with….Caitlyn was flabbergasted, no woman fresh out the shower should look this stunning. There was Vi standing with her red hair dripping wet along with her face intensely red, the clothes she gave Vi didn’t really hide her rock hard biceps. The grey shirt wasn’t really hiding her abs either; Caitlyn couldn’t really see it at first but then Vi trailed her hand up to her forehead to wipe the water away, and Caitlyn saw it. She saw the tattoos running up her arms…they looked like gears or something, she couldn’t quite make it out.
Caitlyn unknowingly looked down and her face grew red, she quickly looked up at Vi and tried distracting her mind from what her eyes just encountered; she knew grey sweatpants weren’t a good idea for someone like Vi, she was stupid for underestimating VI’s sexual characteristics; maybe because she thought someone like Vi couldn’t be so…..She cleared her throat trying not to finish that thought and looked up at Vi and she was nearly taken aback, Vi was tall? How was she just noticing this? Vi was basically towering over her. And what melted Caitlyn’s heart was how Vi was looking back at her, somehow her grey eyes were sparkling…that scar on her upper lip curved when she smiled and Caitlyn could see them perfect teeth…Vi was truly adorable.
Who could hurt this girl? Who could take this girl for granted? Caitlyn was ripped from her thoughts when she heard Vi make a little muffled monotoned sound; probably to get her attention. She saw Vi sign something but couldn’t quite make it out, she seriously needs to learn some signs. She furrowed her brows in confusion as Vi repeated the sign slower; she had one hand held out and the other came up to her chin and then down in the other. Caitlyn looked at the sign and then at VI’s mouth…she noticed that Vi tends to mouths her words as she signs for her to understand a little.
And from what Caitlyn could make out was “thank you” so she spoke “thank you?” She questioned and saw Vi excitedly shake her head yes. Caitlyn chuckled “you’re welcome” she slowly said, and without a heads up, Vi waved her hands and shook her head no; she tucked her hand below her chin sideways and then curved it to her chest. She repeatedly did it over and over again which confused Caitlyn until she felt VI’s soft hands gently grip her right hand and urged her to put her fingers together; she then put Caitlyn’s hand up to the bottom of her chin and made her curve it down all the way to her chest. She looked up at Vi and saw that she was mouthing “you’re welcome” and then it clicked….Vi was teaching her how to sign you’re welcome in sign language.
This was too cute, Caitlyn thought; when Vi backed away, Caitlyn chuckled and pointed to the stairs…she figured Vi was hungry. Vi nodded and followed.
———————————
Vi was sat at the counter top, watching Caitlyn intently as she cooked up some noodles and sauce; she wondered if she ever cooked for anyone? Wondered what Caitlyn did for her free time….did she like to read like her? Did she play that piano in the living room? To Vi, Caitlyn was an angel she didn’t deserve; Vi noticed Caitlyn had taken off her beret, she could see her hair clearly now. Caitlyn’s hair was a little out of place, but her dark blue hair was still in that perfect neat bun. She didn’t know what was happening to her but just by watching Caitlyn….she was getting riled up, maybe it was because of how Caitlyn gripped the handle of the pan or it was because every now and then, Caitlyn would look up at her with them dark blue sapphire eyes.
Vi couldn’t stop staring at the woman, it was like looking at a angel from VI’s perspective; it got so bad she had to readjust in her seat….thankfully her bottom half was tucked under the counter. And then Vi got to thinking…was sheriff Kiramman married? Was she dating anyone? Vi shook her head with a huff, what was she thinking? Kiramman wouldn’t date someone like her anyway. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw a bowl of spaghetti slide across the counter and in front of her. She looked up to see Caitlyn smiling at her while she started to wash the dishes.
She took one last look at Caitlyn and then she picked up the fork, swirled some noodles on it and put the fork to her mouth….she took a bite and she nearly melted at the taste; how could spaghetti taste this good? Within five minutes, Vi was licking the bowl clean; Caitlyn stood there smiling as she saw Vi get up with the bowl and walk over to her. Vi stood behind her and gently sat the bowl in the sink, she then signed “thank you” to Caitlyn and backed away. She went back to sit down and something clicked in Caitlyn’s head, she forgot to give Vi a drink; so she waved her hand to get VI’s attention and waved her hand for Vi to follow her.
They were now standing in front of the refrigerator with it open, Caitlyn pointed towards the drinks she had; grape soda, cola, and some kind of beer her brother Jayce had left over which was out of the question for Vi. Vi looked at her and then bent down to pick up a grape soda; and in seconds, Vi opened it and gulped it down within seconds. After she was done, she burped loudly which made her embarrassingly smile to excuse her actions. Caitlyn stood there stunned, her eyes wide…mouth open, she couldn’t believe how fast Vi had just drank that whole can of soda. And then she saw Vi eyeball another soda and then looked at Caitlyn for approval.
All Caitlyn could do was smile in awe and nod her head yes; and without a second thought, Vi grabbed another one…popped it open and chugged it down in one go. Caitlyn stood there chuckling before Vi finished and started to frantically sign the same sign repeatedly. Caitlyn tried her best to guess but wasn’t so lucky, so Vi grunted and started looking around the kitchen for anything to help her out; and finally her eyes landed on a couple of neat magazines that were placed on the counter. She quickly made her way over to them and started to look through them until she found what she was looking for. She grabbed one of the magazines and held it up to Caitlyn and pointed to a cake that was advertised on the cover.
“Desert?” Caitlyn questioned and Vi sat the magazine down and nodded yes. “Oh I see, I’m afraid I don’t…” Caitlyn said which made Vi sigh and smile, letting Caitlyn know that it was no big deal. Just then, Caitlyn heard the elevator door; so she excused herself and made her way to the living room. When she got there, she found Maddie standing in the center of the living room; Caitlyn didn’t have the patience to start with Maddie tonight, she was tired and exhausted…she just wanted to sleep. “Maddie what are you doing here?” She said as she stood across from Maddie with her arms crossed.
Maddie furrowed her brows and scrunched her nose “Don’t play dumb Caity, you brought that Zauntie in your home?! The same junkie-“ Caitlyn cut her off “why is that any of your concern?! This has nothing to do with you!” She clapped back, Maddie scoffed “it has everything thing to do with me! I don’t trust her!” Caitlyn’s nosed scrunched up in rage “you mean you don’t trust her because she’s not from here!” Maddie stepped forward “I don’t trust her because she’s a Zauntie!” Maddie snapped. Caitlyn stood there disgusted, just then Vi appeared; both Maddie and Caitlyn looked at her, and then Maddie bolted towards her which made Vi step back…readying to protect herself.
And just as Maddie got close, Caitlyn aggressively grabbed Maddie by the arm and yanked her from Vi “are you insane?! I can have you arrested!” Caitlyn shouted “over this trash?! You serious?” Caitlyn almost slapped Maddie herself before she turned her attention to the confused Vi “Vi show yourself to your room would you?” Vi hesitantly nodded and left for upstairs.
—————————-
Vi never wanted Kiramman to have problems because of her, should she leave? Would that make Kiramman’s life better? Sure she’ll have nowhere else to go but she don’t want to make the sheriff’s life difficult. She sighed and leaned her head back on the pillow, maybe if she sleeps this feeling will go away; so she turned on her side, looked out the big window and let her mind wonder. Eventually sleep took over.
She woke about five hours later sweaty and out of breath, the nightmare was terrible...worse... normally it was her running away from Kenny; but now for some reason, she dreamed about Kenny hurting Kiramman. No....she won't let that happen, she'll protect Kiramman from Kenny... She'll make sure she's safe. And so with that thought, she got out of bed and quietly exited the room. She crept down the hall until she got to Caitlyn's room, she was going to knock on the door to make sure Kiramman was safe but instead, she leaned up against the wall and slid down it. She crissed crossed her legs and sat there like a guard dog. She won't sleep until she sees Kiramman exit out that room.
She stayed true to her thoughts, soon morning came....she was fighting sleep, fighting her body to stay awake but Kiramman wasn't out her room yet.... shouldn't she be? Vi whimpered out as her mind started to crack with worry; what if Kenny did find her and hurt Kiramman? She got up from the floor and started to knock frantically on the door; and when she got no response, her heart raced...her chest started to hurt. But she didn't care, so she kept knocking; her vision started to blur, her chest heaved as her breaths became quicker and for some reason....her chest was in agonizing pain. She wished she could call out for her...wished she could say something but she's cursed with this deafness.
It was then, Caitlyn opened the door confused; but she didn't have time to register anything because she had to catch Vi from collapsing; she lowered them on the floor gently and began to inspect Vi, Vi was in and out of consciousness...she was sweaty and what terrified Caitlyn was she put a hand over Vi's chest and her heart was hammering out her chest. So she wasted no time and gently laid Vi down to get up and call her father.
-----------------------
VI was now on the couch resting, Tobias and Caitlyn across the living room talking "what happened?" Tobias asked, Caitlyn shook her head "I don't know, one minute I'm getting out the shower and then the next I'm hearing the constant banging on my bedroom door. I opened the door to see her nearly passed out" Caitlyn finished. Tobias furrowed his brows thinking "we'll have to wait un-" Tobias wasn't able to finish his sentence because Vi woke up frantic. The living room was filled with her whimpers and monotoned cries; both Caitlyn and Tobias rushed over and tried to calm her.
It was then, Tobias figured it out; because the second his daughter sat down beside her on the couch, Vi calmed. "Caitlyn dear? How long have you known Vi?" He asked "just a day...why?" Tobias stepped closer "does Vi have any history of nightmares?" Caitlyn turned her head to her father "not I may know of.... what's that have to do with this?" She asked in a confused tone "Violet, can you tell me what happened?" He signed sloppy which made Vi smile a bit. "I had to make sure she was okay....I thought something happened to her" she signed. Tobias tried to gather all the information from her signs but he was still learning; all he got was "keeping her safe" which concluded Tobias's theory.
"I believe Vi is dangerously attached to you, we can't be sure, she panicked because she thought something had happened to you. She hadn't seen you in a good amount of time span which made her worry, and given her condition....it is deeply dangerous for her, I will give her some beta blockers to reduce her blood pressure" he said as he reached in his medical bag and pulled out a bottle of pills "tea, Veggies, and even healthy smoothies could help with her condition" he finished as he handed Caitlyn the pills, Caitlyn nodded her head in agreement and followed her father to the elevator.
Moments later, Caitlyn and Vi were sitting in the kitchen across from one another; Caitlyn had made Vi some tea and gave her the medication. Caitlyn trailed her hand over to Vi's to get her attention; Vi looked up from the cup of tea "Vi...do you want to tell me what happened?" Caitlyn slowly asked which made Vi shut down. Vi couldn't tell Kiramman... couldn't tell her about the nightmare; because then she'd have to tell her about Kenny. So she shook her head no but Caitlyn wasn't going to give up so easily "Can you at least tell me why you were outside my door?" She softly gestured, Vi was hesitant but she signed "protect" which Caitlyn knew "to protect me?" She asked and Vi slowly shook her head yes. Caitlyn smiled as she caressed Vi's hand.
Vi looked deeply into her eyes and Caitlyn saw nothing but kindness, she will get to the bottom of this...she will bring in whoever hurt this poor girl, no matter how long it takes.
-------------------------
About an hour later, Caitlyn left for work. She promised Vi she'd be back before midnight; after work she'll go to the library and check out a book for sign language...and she remembered that Vi wanted some kind of dessert, so she'll make her way over to the market after. Caitlyn was ripped from her thoughts when her office phone rang, she picked it up and on the other line was her close friend Mel from the counsel. She was given new information on the shimmer case; Mel had gathered information on where Silco was held up.
Of course she wanted to act on this new information but then again, Caitlyn wanted to make sure she had the right intel; so with that, she called in her most trusted enforcer Steb and ordered him to find out more. Just as Caitlyn was flipping into another case file, her door opened unannounced. She looked up to see Maddie entering, “hey caity, can we talk?” Maddie asked as she closed the door behind her and made her way around Caitlyn’s desk. Caitlyn sighed in annoyance and tried to create a distance between them “fine then, get on with it. I have a job to get to”
“I’m sorry about last night, I’m sorry about the kiss and I’m sorry I’m for making a scene…let me take you to dinner to make it up to you” Maddie finished as she caressed Caitlyn’s hand. Caitlyn knew Maddie wouldn’t let up so she reluctantly agreed “Fine, when?” Maddie sat on the desk “tonight, I’ll come by to pick you up”. Caitlyn froze, she promised Vi she wouldn’t leave her…but then again, Caitlyn wanted to make her relationship work; Vi would understand right? “Alright”
It was about nine at night when Caitlyn returned home; when she got inside her place, she saw Vi sitting at the piano messing with the keys. At first Caitlyn thought she was just messing around with them until she heard a soft melody coming from the piano. Caitlyn sat the a box of cupcakes on the glass table in the living room along with the book she said she’d check out and made her way over to Vi; she gently tapped Vi on the shoulder to get her attention and Vi flinched. She turned her head and embarrassingly looked up at Caitlyn, but all Caitlyn did was smile at her and waved her hand for Vi to continue.
Caitlyn didn’t know how Vi was doing it, given the fact that she was deaf but she was impressed; she’s never met anyone like Vi; her play was so soothing and relaxing. She sat next to Vi as Vi continued to play; Caitlyn pulled out her phone and began to type. She gently placed it on the piano in front of Vi and let her read it; “I have to go out tonight, but I’ll be back later, I’m sorry” it read. Vi stopped mid key and looked away which made Caitlyn feel a little bad; and so without thinking, Caitlyn trailed her hand up to VI’s face and cupped her chin to turn VI’s head towards her.
Vi looked at her and Caitlyn’s heart melted “I’ll be back I promise…” was all Caitlyn could say; Vi nodded and tried to put on a smile but Caitlyn saw right through it. Before Caitlyn could say or do anything, Vi slowly got up and left…leaving Caitlyn alone. Caitlyn looked back and saw the box of cupcakes on the table; she got up from the piano, picked up the box of cupcakes and went for the kitchen. She sat the box of cupcakes on the counter with a note and left for upstairs to get ready….hopefully Vi would forgive her.
—————————-
She didn’t know why but Vi was angry, angry that Caitlyn broke her promise….she shouldn’t be mad but she was. She grunted out in annoyance as she laid back in the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Her mind started to wonder about kiramman…why was she so attracted to this woman? What was so special about her? Maybe it was because she was beautiful and kind….or was it because of how selfless she was. VI’s never had anyone to care for her…never had someone to show her the amount of kindness Kiramman does; she smiled at the thought. Vi rolled on her side and let her mind wonder, she was about to fall asleep but then her stomach started to grumble.
So she got up from the bed and exited the room. She made her way downstairs and to the kitchen; when she entered the kitchen, she found a box on the counter along with a note. She walked up to the counter, picked up the note and read it “I’m deeply sorry I couldn’t be here to give you these myself, I hope you enjoy” Vi smiled at the note as she sat it aside and started to open the box; when she managed to get the box open, her mouth nearly watered. Inside the box were six cupcakes, three were chocolate and three were vanilla; Vi picked up a chocolate cupcake and bit into it. Her mouth watered at the taste; she finished the cupcake in two bites and picked up another. In total she ate three, probably not good for her health but it was like candy left for a toddler.
About five minutes later, she was back in her room and let sleep take over. Maybe this Kiramman woman wasn’t so bad after all….

Chapter Text
Two months go by since Caitlyn took Vi in, two months of getting to know Vi; and she could now read her like a book. She knew VI’s strength's and weaknesses, she’s grown to know how Vi was extremely gentle and calm….she was respectful and what caught her eye was that, Vi was extremely clingy but yet she was so distant. Vi knew her boundaries when it came to Caitlyn, Caitlyn didn’t know why but she never asked; sometimes she could hear Vi outside her bedroom door every night…just silently crying. That worried Caitlyn because Vi never got any sleep…only time she’d see Vi sleep was whenever she’s in the living room working on a case, and Vi would be in a recliner sound asleep.
She’s noticed the patterns, whenever she’d see Vi actually relaxed and calm was whenever she was around Caitlyn, Caitlyn thought it was cute at first until Vi became hostile towards whoever came over…especially Maddie. It really just seemed like Vi was scared of something…scared of Caitlyn getting hurt. As of one night, Caitlyn came home with Maddie from a dinner; Caitlyn thought it would be best if Maddie went home but of course, Maddie pushed. Maddie had gripped Caitlyn’s wrist hard, making it bruise and out of nowhere; Vi gripped Maddie’s hand hard making her wince from the pain, she had managed to unlatch Maddie’s hand from Caitlyn but not without stepping in front of Maddie after. It was the first time Caitlyn had seen Vi so angry, she basically had to put herself in between Vi and Maddie for Vi to come back to her senses.
She had her suspicions about Vi having feelings for her, but never asked only because she wasn’t so sure about her feelings for Vi either. Given the fact that she was still dating that idiot Maddie, she couldn’t act on her feelings for Vi; she intended on breaking up with Maddie last week because once again….Maddie can’t keep her hands to herself and slept with another woman. That should have been the last straw for Caitlyn but there was so much history between them; she couldn’t let go that easily. But as the days went on with her and Vi, she learned that she deserves better than how Maddie was treating her. She deserved someone who treated her like the way Vi treated her….Vi treated her like she was the only person on this planet.
She sighed and sat back in her office chair, she was caught in between and didn’t know what to do. She closed the book she had been reading; a ASL book. She had gotten extremely good with her sign language thanks to this book, now her and Vi could communicate well. She sat the book aside and opened VI’s case; Since Vi wouldn’t tell her what was happening in that household, Caitlyn had to do more digging…and what she found made her blood boil. Multiple women down in Zaun complained about VI’s foster Father Kenny, sexually assaulted them…and all of these complaints were dismissed. How could the law be so bad…she wished she could have helped these women, Kenny wouldn’t be no father of a kid if it were up to her. It still wasn’t enough to get a warrant on him, Vi hadn’t told her anything but she knew…she saw the signs.
The way Vi would slightly flinch whenever someone other than her touched her ‘mostly men’ the way she could hear Vi say no in her sleep whenever she did get any….and the nights when she had to stay outside the bathroom just so Vi could feel safe enough to take showers. It just broke Caitlyn’s heart to see such a kind and gentle girl traumatized. Just then, there was a knock on her office door; it was her brother…Jayce.
“Hey sprout…how you holding up” he said as he closed the door behind him and made his way to the couch in the corner.
“I’m…I’m holding up as you say” Caitlyn teased.
Jayce rolled his eyes “the disrespect is real around here”
Caitlyn laughed “oh shut up you, why are you here?”
Jayce scoffed playfully “so now I can’t visit my beautiful most thoughtful-“ Caitlyn cut him off.
“Oh out with it you idiot, you only visit me whenever you want me to attend you’re horrific parties” Caitlyn mocked.
Jayce smiled innocently…
Caitlyn’s eyes widened and scoffed as she sat back in her chair “oh absolutely not! Not a chance in hell!”
Jayce got up from the couch and made his way over to sit on the desk “you promised us…you promised you would attend whenever Vikktor and I had a date set”
Caitlyn closed her eyes and rubbed her temples “Jayce-“ Jayce interrupted
“Is this about your new…friend? Because you know you can bring her right?” Jayce passed her a knowing glance.
Caitlyn knitted her brows together trying to piece her brothers nonsense…and then-
“Oh Jayce! That’s not what this is! You know I’m with madd-“ Jayce scoffed.
“You mean that ginger bitch who keeps fucking my sister over? Oh please, I keep telling you to get rid of her.”
Caitlyn sat up and gave her brother a knowing look “I know I know…it’s just- I don’t know it’s complicated”
Jayce sighed and went around the desk to comfort his sister “I know…but you have to cut the tie, you deserve better and I can’t keep seeing my sis get hurt over someone who doesn’t even respect herself”
Caitlyn sighed in the beat of silence “fine, I’ll attend your party…but I’m not staying long, I have work tomorrow”
Jayce chuckled and walked towards the door “when are you ever not working?”
Caitlyn smiled “good comeback Mr. Kiramman”
“That’s Mr. Peterson to you” Jayce winked and left out the office without giving Caitlyn a chance to clap back.
Caitlyn rolled her eyes and chuckled, tonight shall be fun she thought.
——————————-
Vi hated parties…only because she’s never been to one; so she herself, decided that she hated parties. And here she was, getting fitted for a suit she didn’t want to wear; she huffed and grunted out in displeasure and annoyance as the tailor measured her up and down…side to side and measured her in the most annoying way. She’s been tolerating this for the past hour just for Caitlyn; if she wasn’t she probably would have punched the guy already, it was all tolerable until she started to get impatient.
She’s been here an hour and couldn’t find the right suit; all because of her pants. She really couldn’t help it, if it were up to her…she’d chop it off herself; Vi had never been fond of her sexuality, she had always thought she was a freak. Not to mention she’s not even average size…she was above which was a problem for someone like her; she could never wear Jeans because they were always too tight, and what she hated was that it didn’t help the fact that she was always erected. She thought it was shameful, especially when it came to Kenny…he would do things to her that made her feel like she wasn’t nothing but a sex toy.
She didn’t know when it happened but she started to cry, and Caitlyn noticed; “Vi what’s wrong?” She signed but Vi didn’t have the strength to tell her, so she just kept crying hoping Caitlyn would understand. And to her luck, Caitlyn did “is it the suit? Do you not want the suit?” Caitlyn signed and Vi frantically shook her head no, she didn’t want the suit. Caitlyn rubbed her back to help calm her “it’s alright Vi, we can find you something else to wear okay?” Caitlyn signed, Vi nodded her head “can I take this off please?” She signed, waiting for Caitlyn’s approval. Caitlyn smiled and nodded her head yes, she helped Vi gather her clothes and lead her to the changing room.
About fifteen minutes later, Caitlyn was seated in a private room waiting for Vi to come out from changing into a nice pair of black jeans and a white dress shirt. There was a chair in the middle of the small room with a changing area in between two mirrors; Caitlyn had her leg crossed on the other, looking down at her phone when Vi came out. Caitlyn nearly dropped her phone when she looked Vi up and down, Vi looked dangerously adorable and dangerously hot at the same time. She had her shirt tucked in messy, she hadn’t buttoned the shirt up all the way and then jeans….she could see the outline of VI’s- Caitlyn cut herself off and got up to distract herself from thinking of Vi; she’ll have to find some way to help Vi with that.
She’s noticed it a lot lately but couldn’t acknowledge it, for one she knew Vi would be so embarrassed if she knew Caitlyn noticed; she walked over to Vi and stood in front of her smiling “you look adorning Violet” she signed as she trailed her hands up to VI’s buttons and began to button the remaining ones. She saw VI’s face turn a bright red color and all she could do was smile in awe; tonight should be fun, What could go wrong?
——-—————————
Everything went wrong after the party.
Everyone loved Vi, she got along with Jayce, Vikktor and even Mel; Caitlyn’s mother welcomed Vi in with opened arms, she was invited over for dinner one night and Caitlyn couldn’t help but be satisfied. Caitlyn had a couple of drinks and got wasted thanks to her brother while Vi mostly sat at a table admiring Caitlyn; she wore a dark blue dress with some blue velvet heels…her hair was neatly slicked down to her shoulders and Vi couldn’t help but feel something for this sheriff. She knew it was wrong but she just couldn’t suppress her feelings. As the night went on, Caitlyn had dragged her to dance and Vi was indeed not good at it; Caitlyn thought it was cute…of course she did.
It was around twelve past midnight when Vi and Caitlyn exited out of Jayce’s place; Vi had to help Caitlyn out since she was more wasted than expected. And just as Vi was helping her into the Car, Maddie appeared “so this is where you’ve been all this time? Out with this trash?” Maddie spat out, Caitlyn unlatched from Vi and made her way to Maddie; Vi stood aside with her hands in her pockets, she watched closely as both Maddie and Caitlyn argued. Of course she didn’t understand a word but Caitlyn looked really upset…she was stumbling a bit, she almost fell; and so Vi acted.
Without thinking, she rushed over to catch Caitlyn from falling; which angered Maddie.
“I see what this is! You’re tryna replace me with this Zauntie! Well I tell you what…she’s no better then the rest!” Maddie screamed
Caitlyn’s nose scrunched up “and your so different?! You can’t seem to stay loyal even if it killed you!”
Vi watched as they went back and forth, but she didn’t let go of Caitlyn’s waist.
“You know what Cait? I don’t even know why I’m even talking to you right now….you’re not even worth it” Maddie said
For some reason, that stung Caitlyn’s heart…she started to cry “if I’m not worth it, then why am I even trying….we’re done. I can’t do this anymore”
Maddie slightly gasped out as she stepped back and tried pleading with Caitlyn “Caity don’t do this over….” She waved her hand at Vi “over this Zau-“ Caitlyn stopped her from finishing the last part
“Don’t you even dare! She’s done more for me than you ever have! And I will not tolerate you downgrading her any longer!”
Vi looked confused as ever…
Maddie’s saddened face turned to anger “you’ll regret this Caitlyn, I promise you” she spat out and disappeared into the night. Meanwhile, Vi and Caitlyn stood there, Vi may have not heard but she had a pretty good idea on what just happened; so she picked Caitlyn up bridal style and went for the car.
About thirty minutes later, they arrived back at Caitlyn’s place, Caitlyn wasn’t quite herself which was why Vi didn’t know what to do in this situation at hand. The minute they got inside the apartment, Caitlyn pulled her in for a kiss; it caught Vi off guard, the kiss was rough and sloppy and Caitlyn’s breath reeked of alcohol. Of course Vi eventually gave into the urge for a good while before coming back to her senses; Vi reluctantly pulled back and signed “this isn’t right…you’re not yourself” Caitlyn knitted her brows together in annoyance “so you don’t want to kiss me…did I read you wrong?” Vi was at a loss…she wanted to kiss Caitlyn deeply but Caitlyn had just gone through a break up and on top of that, she was drunk off her mind.
And so with that, Vi didn’t acknowledge the question at hand; instead she signed “I should get you to bed…you’ll feel better” Caitlyn didn’t respond, instead tears started to stream down her face; Vi picked her up in bridal style once again and walked her up the stairs and to her room. And by the time Vi had laid Caitlyn down in her bed, she had already fallen asleep; so Vi took off Caitlyn’s shoes and tucked her in. She looked at the damaged Caitlyn once more and then left out of the bedroom; she didn’t go to her room, instead she sat down on the floor next to Caitlyn’s bedroom and let her mind wonder. She never thought Caitlyn could break down this way, Caitlyn was always so calm and collected with things like this….
Caitlyn had taken care of her for the past two months, so she’ll do everything in her power to keep Caitlyn safe…it was the least she could do. Vi unknowingly started to feel dizzy and tired…she had been for the past week and she didn’t know why. No matter she thought, all she was worried about was Caitlyn’s well being. Maybe if she shuts her eyes for a moment, the dizziness will go away….she’ll just sleep for a few, Caitlyn will be okay, Kenny won’t get her as long as she’s here. And so, Vi shut her eyes and finally let sleep take over her body, she knew something was wrong but she didn’t want to cause any more problems so she just dropped it.
——————————-
When Caitlyn woke, a sharp pain in her head coursed…her mouth was extremely dry and she couldn’t quite remember how she got in her bedroom. All she remembers is coming out from Jayce’s place, having an argument with Maddie which led to a break up and the kiss with- “Shit” she cursed at herself as she jolted out of bed and ran for her bedroom door; when she opened her door, her knees almost buckled…her heart clenched. Caitlyn saw Vi on the floor sweaty and unconscious, and her breathing was erratic. Vi looked extremely pale, her white dress shirt was wet from the amount of sweating she was doing.
“Vi!” She called out as she knelt down and started to tap VI’s cheek to wake her; Vi didn’t wake up but made groaning noises indicating that she was indeed alright. “Shit” Caitlyn cursed out as she looked around trying to see if she could carry Vi to her room but Vi was much much taller and heavier than her; so she had no choice. She hooked her arms under VI’s armpits and picked her up the best she could; she started to drag Vi into her room and laid her on the bed, once Vi was in the bed…Caitlyn came to a halt. Should she change Vi? Her clothes were soaking wet….Vi would understand right? Caitlyn knitted her brows together and started to undress Vi; she started with VI’s dress shoes and then her soaked shirt which left Vi in a black sports bra. And then finally, VI’s somehow soaked jeans which left her in some black boxer briefs; Caitlyn noticed how soaked the waistband of the boxer briefs were.
She bent down and latched on to Vi to scoot her up the bed, and that’s when Caitlyn noticed how quickly Vi was breathing, she felt VI’s heart beating erratically; it was like Vi couldn’t get in a breath before taking another. And Vi was burning up dangerously…it was probably a fever. She pulled the sheets over Vi and sat there worried…should she call for someone? Should she call for a hospital? Truth is, Caitlyn didn’t know…VI’s heart condition was what worried her. Maybe if she gives Vi something for the fever, she’ll get better.
It didn’t get any better because two days later, Vi was throwing up, having problems keeping foods down and what made Caitlyn rush her to the hospital was Vi kept latching on to her chest which concerned her deeply. Caitlyn had also noticed the bruising all around VI’s body…how was Vi receiving these? Nothing was making sense….until Caitlyn’s father came back with the results.
Turns out that high levels of troponin and an enlarged heart don’t mix; Tobias explained that given the symptoms, VI’s heart can’t take the high levels which caused the nausea, the sweating and the fevers. Her body was breaking down slowly which explains the easy bruising; they needed to do surgery to replace the damaged valve of the heart but not without a parental consent…which they didn’t have. Which Caitlyn didn’t understand, Vi was almost nineteen, but according to the council, the average requirements is twenty one.
So Tobias suggested another way to stall, he will give Vi some medication until Caitlyn is able to get the signature from VI’s foster father. But of course, Vi wasn’t having that…she told Caitlyn that she’ll die before she goes back there and see that face; Vi made Caitlyn promise her to not go down in Zaun but Caitlyn couldn’t promise something like that; which led them to this….both women in the kitchen, Vi signing angry at her for going down in Zaun.
“You promised to stay out of it!” Vi signed angrily, tears threatened to spill…Caitlyn heard the slight monotoned voice of VI’s as she signed and it nearly broke her.
“I know! And I’m sorry! But you need help!”
“You promised me! I trusted you!” Vi continued.
Caitlyn could tell Vi was seconds away from a meltdown, she never meant to hurt Vi this way…but they need Kenny’s approval for the surgery.
“Vi he wasn’t even there…just please understa-“ Vi cut her off with one sign “No!” She watched as Vi rounded the counter “you don’t understand…” was all Vi signed which made Caitlyn push “so help me understand! Let me help you” she signed back…she wished she hadn’t. Because VI’s face drained of color, her brows knitted together along with her nose scrunching up; and then Vi screamed out in a monotoned Voice “I was helpless!” Which made Caitlyn flinch, it was the first time she’d ever heard Vi use her voice. She didn’t mean for this…Vi started to cry as she exited the kitchen leaving Caitlyn in this tense room.
It was then, she heard her apartment elevator open which made her run to the living room and just as the doors were closing, she saw Vi looking back at her…with tears in her eyes…the look of betrayal…the doors had closed.
What has she done….

Chapter Text
Vi wasn’t sure what she was doing, one minute she was arguing with Caitlyn and then the next; she was running. She must’ve blacked out for a second because she don’t remember walking down to Zaun….it was raining, her clothes were wet, and for some reason she had a doctors paper in her hand. Right….she’ll make Kenny sign the paper so Caitlyn won’t come down here and get hurt; the paper was soaked through, no matter….Kenny will sign this paper and after this…she’ll never have to see him again.
The rain grew stronger as she walked the sidewalks, her fists balled on each side, her brows knitted together along with her nose scrunched as she made her way up the apartment stairs. She made her way up and to the apartment door, she stood in front of the door for a while rethinking this…but then Caitlyn stretched her mind; if she don’t do it….Caitlyn will come and she’ll get hurt, so she pulled out a key and entered the apartment.
She hadn’t had the time to enter the apartment all the way before she felt a hand around her throat. She was now pinned up against the wall, with a gun to her head “where the hell you been Vi?!” Kenny shouted out, Vi gasped for air as she clawed at Kenny’s hand “you thought you could escape me?! Mm? I have eyes Vi! There was only a matter of time till I came and got you myself…” Kenny tightened his grip on Vi and threw her across the apartment, only this time Vi got up and charged at him.
She don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast; one minute she was charging at Kenny and then the next, she was pinned down to the floor with Kenny on top of her. He punched her over and over but Vi didn’t stop fighting….until he landed one final blow that made her head spin. Blood streamed out her mouth and on to the floor, she had a broken bloody nose and her mind was in and out. And then she felt it, Kenny unbuckling her belt and pants; Vi needed to get up….her body started to squirm….get up….Kenny began to dig his hands in her pants….get up Vi!
Suddenly, VI’s mind went blank. She unknowingly kneed Kenny in the crotch and it made him hop off her, Vi was quick to stand up and made her way to Kenny….she don’t know what she was feeling, her vision blurred; and the next thing she knew, she was on top of Kenny bashing him repeatedly. She saw Kenny reach for something and the snapped, she reached over…grabbed his hand and bended his ring and middle finger backwards. She snapped his fingers back, making him scream out in agony; she looked at Kenny and she saw nothing but a monster….she felt no regret.
And then she saw it….she saw the gun across the floor; Kenny looked at her, Vi looked at Kenny and then both of them started to squirm for it. Vi punched Kenny which made him go unconscious for a moment…enough time for Vi to get up and go for the gun. She got hold of the gun, just as Kenny started to get up on his feet; she stumbled back towards the front door and pointed the gun at Kenny….Kenny came to a halt, he held his hands up and tried talking to Vi. But Vi didn’t understand, he was talking to fast…nor she didn’t care, she wanted to kill Kenny…wanted him to feel the pain he caused her. VI’s face ached, her eyes were stinging from the tears threatening to spill; she just needed all of this to end.
And so she started to squeeze the trigger, and just then from the corner of her eye, she saw Caitlyn. Caitlyn had slipped through the door with her hands up, she could hear VI’s whimpers along with her shaken breaths; VI’s face was bloody, her shirt was slightly torn and then Caitlyn trailed her eyes down. Her heart ached, she saw VI’s pants unbuckled and unzipped…she knew what this was “Vi….hey look at me….” She signed, Vi shook her head no…Vi couldn’t look Caitlyn in the eyes after this.
Caitlyn moved closer “hey, it’s okay….you got him. He’s not going to hurt you anymore” Vi shook her head “He….He rap-“ Vi couldn’t even sign it….it was too painful and Caitlyn saw it. She slowly put her hand over the gun to lower it and signed with the other “I know, and he’s going away for it….he can’t hurt you anymore….I won’t let him” Vi looked over at Caitlyn and for the first time in her miserable life, she saw someone who actually understood her…understood that she was broken and wanted to be fixed. And with that, she let go of the gun and buried her face in Caitlyn’s neck; Caitlyn wrapped her arms around Vi and held her tightly as she let Vi broke down.
Vi was much taller than her, so it was kind of difficult for her but she managed; only because Vi was the one to bend her whole body and rest her head on Caitlyn. Just then, Caitlyn radioed enforcers to move in to arrest Kenny; somehow Caitlyn knew where Vi was headed so she called for backup as she made her way down here.
———————————
About an half hour later, Caitlyn waited in the waiting room of the hospital; only for her father to come out and tell her Vi was freaking out, she wouldn’t let anyone touch her which was a problem. Tobias needed to check her out making sure no disease was carried over to her from Kenny and checking on her cuts and bruises. And so, Tobias guided Caitlyn to the back and to VI’s room. When she got there, she saw Vi standing in a corner in a hospital gown, holding a scalpel “Vi, they need to check you out. It’ll only take a minute” she signed as she made her way to Vi not even worrying about the scalpel Vi was holding…because she knew Vi wouldn’t hurt her.
And just as she thought, as soon as she got close to Vi, Vi crumbled; she didn’t say anything, instead she let Caitlyn guide her back to the bed. Once Vi was back on the bed, Caitlyn turned to her father “no men father…..how about Mel and Sarah to do this? It’s the only way to ease VI’s mind” Tobias agreed and paged Mel and Sarah; and about ten minutes later, Vi was now waiting on the results along with Caitlyn by her side. That was only because during the process of being checked out, Vi latched on to Caitlyn’s hand and never let go.
Of course Caitlyn didn’t mind, but she couldn’t help but wonder….was Vi okay? Because since they’d been at the hospital, Vi looked like she was moments away from completely breaking apart. There were constant tears in her eyes but none escaped, it was like she was trying to be strong…Caitlyn just wanted Vi to know that she’s not alone in this and that it was okay. Every now and then, she would feel Vi squeeze her hand…probably making sure that Caitlyn was still there; it was like she was grounding Vi, keeping her together.
Caitlyn was interrupted by her father walking in with a clipboard “I have good news dear’s, she’s clean and we’ve cleaned up your cuts. You are free to go” Caitlyn signed all of the information back to Vi, and Vi didn’t even seem to care…she just looked tired and exhausted. “What do you want to do Vi? I can drive you somewhere else if you don’t want to go home with me….” Caitlyn signed. Vi sighed, she wanted to go home with Caitlyn…it was all she knew now, she had nowhere else to go. “You…I just want to be with you” Vi signed without even looking at Caitlyn. Caitlyn caught on but didn’t acknowledge it, instead she did whatever she needed to do and took Vi home.
——————————-
When they arrived at Caitlyn’s apartment, Vi went straight for the shower…she told Caitlyn she was fine and didn’t need her to stand outside the door; and after that, she locked herself in her room. She didn’t bother to lay in the bed, instead she sat down on the floor looking out of the window. She silently cried as she watched the lights shine through the tall buildings; the moonlight shined through the room. Just then, she saw Caitlyn sitting next to her; at first Caitlyn just sat there looking out the window as well and then she finally signed….
“Vi, why won’t you look at me?”
Vi wiped her tears “I….” She hesitated to finish her sentence, until Caitlyn scooted closed and placed her hand on VI’s lap. It was then, she found the courage to finally look at Caitlyn “you saw me….you saw me with my pants nearly down….I didn’t want you to know that I was being…” Vi trailed off. Caitlyn could kind of understand what Vi was getting at, so she turned VI’s head towards her and signed “you have nothing to be ashamed about, he took advantage of you and I will never blame you for it”
Vi looked Caitlyn in the eyes searching for anything that told her the opposite only to find nothing. And then Caitlyn started asking the questions she was dying to avoid. “How long?” Caitlyn signed “Since I was ten” Vi signed back Caitlyn knitted her brows together “Vi why didn’t you tell me?” Vi shrugged her shoulders as tears started to spill and then she made a huff cry and signed “fear makes people act. He hurt me so I wouldn’t tell, and I was stupid to think I couldn’t get away…I’m sorry” Caitlyn cupped VI’s face and shook her head no “it will never be your fault you hear me?”
And it was then, Vi felt something bloom inside her; the warmth, her heart skipped a beat as she looked into Caitlyn’s blue sapphire eyes. And suddenly Vi was leaning in, her breath quickening; she saw Caitlyn look down at her lips and then back up to her eyes, and then finally they locked lips. Caitlyn’s soft lips interlocking with hers, their noses scraping together and both women caught in the bliss. Caitlyn pulled away first only to be gently pulled back in by Vi; only this time, Vi deepened the already intense kiss, she trailed her hand up to Caitlyn’s face as both women started to breathe extremely hard from the lack of oxygen….neither of them wanted to pull away.
Until finally, Vi broke away resting her forehead on Caitlyn’s. Vi crooked a smile and signed “I’m sorry” Caitlyn rolled her eyes and signed “no you’re not” which made ago chuckle. Caitlyn laughed and pulled away from Vi “you should get some sleep, you need it” she signed as she got up from the floor and started to exit the room, Vi got up from the floor and smiled as she watched Caitlyn leave. She don’t know why but something clicked right then and there…she will never leave this woman again. She’ll trust herself to finally have someone that sees and cares for her in a way she never experienced.
That night, she didn’t sleep….she did what she always did; she sat outside of Caitlyn’s room, only this time, she got up from the floor and peeked her head in to see Caitlyn turned away from the door sound asleep. For some reason, she needed to be closer to Caitlyn; so she quietly entered the room and made her way around the bed. She looked at Caitlyn before easing her way to the floor and leaning up against the bed; and just as she got comfortable, she felt a hand caressing her face from behind her. She turned around to see Caitlyn barely awake smiling at her; Caitlyn patted the spot next to her and gently started to pull Vi in the bed.
And before Vi knew what was happening, she was tangled up with Caitlyn under the covers with Caitlyn sound asleep on her chest. With the smell of Caitlyn everywhere, the warmth radiating off of Caitlyn, her eyes grew heavy. What the hell was this? Was she finally able to sleep? And before Vi could figure out any of this, sleep took over. And finally, Vi could rest.
Notes:
They finally had their first official kiss 🙏🏾😛🥲I’m so glad 🙂

Chapter Text
It's been two months since Kenny's been caught, and in those two months, he refused to sign the papers for Vi's surgery. And the longer Vi went without the surgery, the worse she got; Vi sometimes struggled to eat, she slept most days and sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night throwing up blood. But Vi still kept that beautiful smile on her face, even though Caitlyn could see the pain in her eyes; especially today.... today was December nineteenth, Vi's birthday. Last night, Caitlyn woke up to Vi screaming in the next room; so she dragged Vi to her room to make her feel better.
And so, here she was sitting at the edge of her bed, caressing the back of VI's head as she slept. Caitlyn had just returned moments ago from the bakery, she had purchased Vi her favorite cupcakes and since Vi can't drink coffee, she purchased her a tea. Caitlyn trailed her hand down Vi's back and started to softly massage; Vi had bruised on her lower back. This gesture made Vi stir awake, she fluttered her eyes open and saw Caitlyn looking down at her with a smile. She wanted to turn around on her back and greet Caitlyn, but for some reason...the massage she was receiving from Caitlyn made her feel relaxed and aroused....too aroused. She closed her eyes and sighed in response to Caitlyn's magnetic touch.
They've only been dating two months, known each other for five and Caitlyn already has a hold on her...yeah she's in deep shit.
Vi shot her eyes open when she felt Caitlyn's touch disappear, and then the pain resurfaced which made her slightly wince as she flipped on her back; and then she saw Caitlyn sign "happy birthday my love" Vi's birthday was today and she herself forgot....she hadn't had anyone tell her this before. She knitted her brows together, sat up and looked Caitlyn in the eyes, this woman sitting in front of her remembered....took a moment out of her day to wish Vi a happy birthday...Vi could feel the lump in her throat and the sudden tears streaming down her face. She saw Caitlyn look at her with the fear of doing something wrong "Vi I'm sorry, did I overstep?" Caitlyn signed. Vi blinked her tears away and smiled as she shook her head no. She then leaned forward and buried her face in Caitlyn's neck, hopefully Caitlyn would understand that this was her way of thanking her.
Caitlyn Understood, she understood completely; she wrapped her arms around Vi and held her tightly as Vi silently cried. Vi eventually pulled away "you really are sweet like a cupcake" she signed, Caitlyn chuckled as she wiped the remaining tears from Vi's face "speaking of cupcakes, I've got some downstairs" Caitlyn signed as she trailed her hand up to Vi's hair and ran her fingers through the tangled locks "we cannot wait any longer for this" she signed with the other hand, Vi shook her head no "absolutely not, not a chance cupcake" Caitlyn tilted her head to the side and arched a brow "I suppose I'll have to do it myself" Vi's eyes widened "okay okay, you win. I'll get the haircut" she signed as she rolled her eyes and huffed.
Caitlyn smiled in response only for it to falter when Vi started to cough uncontrollably. "Vi?" She signed, but Vi waved her off as she covered her mouth. The coughing grew more dangerous, to the point where Vi couldn't get a breath in. And then Vi removed her hand from her mouth, blood streamed down her chin; neither Vi or Caitlyn weren't new to this but it still shook Caitlyn. Because each time it happened, Vi coughed up more and more. Caitlyn reached over to the nightstand and pulled out a cloth; and as she went to help Vi to clean up the blood, Vi turned her head away. They went through this every time, Vi was ashamed but Caitlyn always reminded her that it wasn't her fault, that it was okay.
She turned Vi's head back and gave her a look, a reassuring look; and then she began to clean up the blood from Vi's face. She won't let this ruin Vi's birthday, she'll make this day special for her.
--------------------------------
Caitlyn sat across the shop watching Vi give her a annoying look, but also a cute one. She had her nose scrunched up, her eyes were droopy and every now and then she'd look at Caitlyn and huff as the man spun her around in the chair. And by the time she was done, Vi got up and signed "you're cold cupcake, I was being tortured and you just say there gawking at me" Caitlyn smiled as she looked at the fresh cut "what can I say, you look very handsome now" Vi playfully rolled her eyes and took Caitlyn by the hand "I feel naked" Caitlyn guided them out of the shop and toward the car "you will get used to it" Caitlyn teased as Vi opened the driver seat for Caitlyn and made her way to the passenger side, once they were inside the car, Vi signed "what is even this?" She signed pointing at her hair.
Caitlyn chuckled, "it's the one you picked out yourself...I believe it was called a messy French cut" Vi signed "well it's not messy, it lied" Caitlyn shook her head and smiled as she started the car. The next stop was to take Vi shopping, the constant sweatpants weren't working for her; if it were up to her, she'd keep Vi locked away so other women wouldn't see Vi in them damn things...Vi just showed to much. Sometimes she wondered if Vi had ever had sex consentually, Vi was always so pent up it seemed; and she noticed it was worse whenever she was around. VI never talked about it and always kept a distance which Caitlyn respected but sometimes she just wondered. And so as she was driving, she slowly trailed her hand over to Vi's lap which made Vi inhale in surprise.
She saw in the corner of her eye that Vi slowly turned her head and then she looked down not knowing what to do; until finally, she placed her hand over Caitlyn's and trailed both of their hands up to her front. Vi made Caitlyn squeeze her erection which made Caitlyn slightly shiver; Caitlyn looked over to see Vi leaning her head back with her eyes closed and her mouth open....she smiled as Vi made her squeeze again. She loved how Vi was becoming more intimate with her, she was very much grateful and was willing to wait for Vi. She felt special, because she remembers Vi telling her that she hated being touched, hated people in general; and for Vi to trust her enough to touch her like this, truly is a blessing.
It was about ten minutes later when they arrived at the mall, and it took Caitlyn about fifteen minutes getting Vi to calm down; it got so bad, Vi pleaded her to get out of the car so she can just jack off but not even that worked. It was then, Vi decided to trust Caitlyn, it was the first time she's done this....she was embarrassed; Caitlyn shut that down though, "everyone does it" she told Vi which made Vi crumble, Caitlyn even promised that she wouldn't look if it made Vi feel better. And so She let Caitlyn take care of her and it didn't take long at all, Caitlyn stroked her three times before she released with a loud monotoned moan. Caitlyn didn't even acknowledge anything after that, which made Vi feel better; they walked the mall as if nothing happened.
Caitlyn helped her try on clothes, they went to a game store which made Vi excited, she had started to play some games to ease her mind and they went to a store that had mostly anything. They had hats, shirts, belts, and so much more; and of course, the hats caught Vi's attention. She still felt naked so she asked Caitlyn for a cap; Caitlyn bought it without a doubt and the rest of the day, Vi never took it off. After the mall, Caitlyn took Vi to an aquarium and Vi was instantly hooked. Vi walked in front of her looking all around amazed while Caitlyn watched her from behind; she watched as Vi ran over to a glass and excitedly waved her over to see a huge turtle swim across. Caitlyn watched in awe as Vi stared at the turtle swimming away along with another showing up in view....Vi was truly amazing. "That's you" Vi signed as she looked at Caitlyn.
"Me? Why am I a turtle?" Caitlyn signed, Vi smiled at her genuinely "because I love turtles, and they're beautiful like you" Vi signed as she turned her whole body towards Caitlyn and bent down to press a soft kiss on Caitlyn's cheek "thank you...for everything, I don't know if I could ever repay you for any of it" she signed. Caitlyn smiled "you already have....I have you now" she signed. Vi smiled and bent down once more to bury her face in Caitlyn's neck and wrap her arms around her. Caitlyn was too good to be true. She doesn't want this to ever end, because every time she's with Kiramman, her heart no longer feel empty....it feels warm and fuzzy....it felt full.
---------------------------
It was around ten at night when they returned home, Vi didn't know what errupted on the way home but she couldn't keep her hands off of Caitlyn; which led them to stumbling out the elevator door, Vi kissing Caitlyn all over. Caitlyn chuckled as she tried to balance the left over steak they had; she backed away from Vi and started walking to the kitchen to store the leftovers there. Vi followed closely behind her; and by the time she stored the steak in the kitchen, Vi was already on her. She was gently bent over the counter top and she felt Vi's erection press against her; she could hear Vi unzip her pants. She turns around and lands a kiss on Vi's lips, Vi deepened the kiss and trailed her hand down to unbuckle Caitlyn's pants.
For some reason, Vi was getting impatient and so she turned Caitlyn back around and began to pull out; only for her to come to a halt as images surfaced her mind. Kenny did this to her....Vi backed away from Caitlyn which left Caitlyn worried. Caitlyn zipped her pants back up and made her way to the troubled Vi "hey Vi whats wrong?" She signed, Vi blinked away a tear "I'm not him...." Was all she signed. Caitlyn was confused up until she realized what just happened "Vi...I know you're not him..." Vi cut her off "I won't do that to you....he did-" Caitlyn stopped her from finishing that sign and pulled Vi down to hug her. She wished she could take Vi's pain away, wished she could have done something to stop Kenny....
About an hour later, Vi was sitting in the middle of Caitlyn's bed; Caitlyn had told her to sleep here tonight. VI sat in bed waiting patiently for Caitlyn to get out of the shower. She felt bad for ruining her Caitlyn's intimate moment, Caitlyn was the first person to make her feel this way....and she ruined it. VI snapped out of her thoughts when she saw the glare of the bathroom light; Vi's mouth flew open when she saw Caitlyn walk out of the connected bathroom with nothing on. Her hair was dripping wet, it may have been dark but Vi could still see the water streaming down Caitlyn's body; Vi trailed her eyes down to Caitlyn's nicely rounded breasts with pink nipples....do she dare look down further? Don't Vi..
She did and almost fainted.
Caitlyn walked over to the bed with a smile and signed "I thought you were sleeping love" Vi was too flustered to even sign, her brain was short circuiting, and her boxers were now soaked. Caitlyn just chuckled and made her way in the bed and on top of Vi who was clearly love strucked. She was Vi look down not knowing what to d, so Caitlyn grabbed her hands and trailed them up to her breasts, Vi got the idea gently squeezed as she shook in awe. Eventually, Vi and Caitlyn were now in a full blown make out session; and slowly Caitlyn trailed her hand down to pull Vi's erection out. Vi froze which made Caitlyn freeze "Vi...I'm sorry" Caitlyn pleaded fearing of doing something wrong.
VI waved her hands and signed "it's not that....it's just..." Vi trailed off, Caitlyn knitted her brows together and started to rub Vi's shoulder to ease her "I've never done this..." Caitlyn smiled, cupped Vi's face and mouthed "I've got you" She could feel the tension in Vi's shoulders cease. And so, Caitlyn reached between them and grabbed Vi to line her up. She then eased her way down on Vi and it made them both gasp out, Vi buried her face in Caitlyn's neck as she felt Caitlyn all around her.
And in just minutes, they found their rhythm; it was slow and delicate. VI has her hands around Caitlyns waist while Caitlyn had her arms wrapped around Vi's neck kissing her passionately. She rocked back and forth and each time, she moaned out....Vi was different and it was driving her crazy, it's only been minutes and Caitlyn felt herself clench around Vi ready to climax. It must've did it for Vi because just then, she felt Vi release in her along with a couple of low moans as she released. Caitlyn couldn't explain it but Vi was so gentle...the gentleness in her releasing made Caitlyn's body spasm and climax right after Vi. She buried her sweaty face in VI's neck and released with a loud moan, soon after Vi flopped down on the bed and started to cry which caught Caitlyn off guard.
It was then when she tried to help Vi pull out, She felt Vi release once more.... only this time it was intense. She saw Vi cover up her face with her arm and her body started to shake, a long with Vi moaning out Violently. Caitlyn started to caress Vi's body to help her, soon VI’s body started to cease along with her breathing evening out; Caitlyn slowly pulled away making sure not to cause another climax and laid beside Vi. Caitlyn’s never seen anything like that before, Vi was truly different in so many amazing ways. And just before she could tell Vi that she did amazing, she looked over to see Vi sound asleep. She smiled and trailed her hand up to wipe away the remaining tears from her face; Caitlyn bent down and pressed a soft kiss on VI’s forehead.
—————————-
The next morning, Caitlyn left Vi asleep; she was called in to work…..
“How the hell you let this happen?!” Caitlyn shouted at the two enforcers. The enforcers were bloodied and bruised up “It all happened so fast I swear we looked everywhere and he’s nowhere to be found” one of the enforcers pleaded. Caitlyn sighed and walked around her desk “I need every corner…every road and alleyway monitored understand?” She commanded both enforcers nodded and quickly left.
This wasn’t good….Kenny escaped and now she has to tell Vi that her rapist is out running the streets. Caitlyn sighed…This is shit.
Notes:
This should be goodddd

Chapter Text
Parties were indeed not VI’s thing, she hated the blinding lights, the crowded areas and gotdamn the alcoholics dancing like maniacs. But Vi was willing to endure the torture for Caitlyn, three months ago Caitlyn told her Kenny escaped; And for the last three months, Vi had never left Caitlyn’s side. She followed Caitlyn to work, whenever she’d go out with friends she’d tag along and during the nights, Vi would stay up watching over Caitlyn. As the days went on, Vi’s health got worse…she didn’t tell Caitlyn but Caitlyn could see it. Whenever Vi would undress for a shower or what not, she could see the bruises going up and over her back, on the nights Vi did sleep…her nightmares were unbearable.
But Vi didn’t care, all she cared about was keeping Caitlyn safe. Which brought her here slouching in a chair, watching Caitlyn laugh and talk to her coworkers from across the room; nothing really bothered Vi up until she noticed Maddie in Caitlyn’s presence. Caitlyn was too far away for her to read lips but she could read Caitlyn’s movements; and it told her that Caitlyn wasn’t comfortable, so she got up from the chair and made her way over. And just as she approached Maddie and Caitlyn, she could see Maddie’s hand gripping Caitlyn’s arm; she lightly pushed Maddie away which made Caitlyn interfere. She saw Caitlyn sign something, but Vi wasn’t paying attention but she could read the tension, so she backed away; and just as she was leaving, she looked at Caitlyn with a sorry look and then walked away.
Maybe she overreacted, maybe her and Maddie were just having a conversation…maybe Vi is just paranoid. But lately Caitlyn’s been acting different…she was distant; she one time caught Caitlyn throwing up in the middle of the night. She had fallen asleep, when she woke up to an empty bed; the light to the bathroom lead her to her girlfriend hunched over the toilet throwing up. There was another night where Caitlyn came home from work, and just as usual Vi tried her best to be a loving girlfriend; Caitlyn ended up yelling at her and telling her she just needed space…yeah it hurt Vi a lot but she backed away and since then, she’d kept her distance from Caitlyn.
Caitlyn tried to apologize for her actions multiple times but Vi was so used to people pushing her away; so used to being hurt, she didn’t believe Caitlyn’s apologies. She believed Caitlyn would end up pushing her away again, so she stayed away…keeping herself from getting hurt any further. She still made sure Caitlyn was safe, she still sat outside Caitlyn’s room…and she still followed Caitlyn around…but at a distance. Vi made her way to the car and waited…she must’ve waited for Caitlyn for hours; because by the time Caitlyn came out of Mel’s place, Vi was waking up from a nap she didn’t know she had taken.
——————————
When they arrived back home, Vi didn’t acknowledge Caitlyn…hadn’t for weeks, she went straight to the guest room and locked herself in there. She don’t know why the thought popped in her mind but was Caitlyn going to break up with her and get back with Maddie? Did she do anything wrong? Maybe Kenny was right, Maybe she didn’t deserve anything good that came her way; she was nothing but street trash people feel sorry for. Maybe Caitlyn’s had enough…
It was around midnight when Caitlyn woke up to a soft melody playing on the piano, she knew it was Vi; It was one of VI’s ways of expressing her feelings. This melody sounded like she was sad and angry and Caitlyn couldn’t blame her; they hadn’t been on the same page for weeks and it was all her fault. If Caitlyn just had told Vi what was going on, there wouldn’t be a wedge between them. She regretted taking her stress out on Vi that day…Vi had been so good to her the moment she step foot into her life and she can’t even give Vi the truth.
She was pregnant….
At first Caitlyn hadn’t known until the mood swings and the morning sickness came; it was then, she missed her monthly she realized. She didn’t know what to do or say to Vi, Vi wouldn’t react well to this; so she called someone who would understand, her mother.
She was in her office crying, her mother sitting down on the couch in the corner of the office patiently waiting. “I’m pregnant” Caitlyn said in a raspy voice, Cassandra sat there frozen, her legs crossed with her eyes wide with a surprising look. She remembers her daughter telling her that she never wanted kids, her job was way to busy for her to handle a child…she didn’t want to quit her job…Caitlyn was addicted to her job. Cassandra’s thoughts were interrupted by her daughter’s raspy voice “it’s V-Vi’s….I don’t understand, we’ve only done it once….Vi wouldn’t want this…” she started to rant. Caitlyn turned around to face her mother, her eyes were glossy, tear marks stained her face….
Cassandra’s heart ached for her daughter. She’s met Vi a couple of times, and she loved her; Cassandra immediately opened her arms to Vi, which was rare. She hated the men and women Caitlyn dated over the years, they were either self centered or just pure stubborn; but Vi… she respected her daughter to no end, and that alone made Cassandra love her. Cassandra got up from the couch and made her way to Caitlyn “Caitlyn dear, listen to me. Violet will understand…she will not abandon you or this child if you decide to keep it. She loves you very much…all you have to do is be honest with her”
Caitlyn nuzzled her face in her mothers neck “but what if-“ Cassandra cut her off “she will understand…your not giving her the credit she deserves Caitlyn…that girl is a blessing, do not let her go by keeping this from her”
That was two days ago, Caitlyn just couldn’t find the right words to tell Vi. She knew she was running out of time, so she got out of bed, put on her dark blue silk robe and made her way downstairs. And when she got downstairs, there was Vi looking beautiful as ever under the moonlight; her hands were moving delicately over the piano keys, her eyes laser focus on each and every key. Vi wore some light blue boxers with a white tank top, her messy French cut was disheveled, Caitlyn trailed her eyes up to VI’s neck and she could see more bruises form there. She knew Vi was hurting and it hurt her deeply.
She didn’t want to interrupt Vi so she slowly went over and carefully sat next to Vi on the stool; she was hesitant but soon she rested her head on VI’s shoulders and watched Vi play….the melody was beautiful. She wondered how Vi was able to play without hearing it herself or where she had learned to play. About three minutes later, Vi came to a halt, she breathed in and then exhaled; she trailed her hand up to VI’s hands and interlocked her hand with one. And just for a moment, they sat there; she missed Vi….she missed Vi in her bed, missed her smile, missed the late night cuddles. Caitlyn closed her eyes the second she felt tears, she sat up and looked at Vi who was already looking at her.
“I’m sorry” Caitlyn signed as tears streamed down her face, Vi smiled and trailed her free hand up to wipe Caitlyn’s tears away “it’s okay” Vi mouthed, Caitlyn shook her head no “it’s not…I’ve been selfish. I’ve been keeping something from you and I’m sorry” she signed. Vi knitted her brows together in confusion “What have you been keeping from me?” She signed, Caitlyn’s heart started to hammer out of her chest “I’m…” she started but couldn’t sign the rest, she was too afraid to even look Vi in the eyes. She then felt VI’s hand caress her face which made her look up at Vi “hey…you can tell me anything cupcake, I won’t get upset I promise” Vi signed with a reassuring smile.
Caitlyn leaned into VI’s touch “I’m…I’m pregnant” she quickly signed, she felt Vi freeze so she opened her eyes and saw Vi looking back at her…her face unreadable. “Vi I’m sorry….I was-“ Caitlyn started to sign but Vi Interrupted her by pulling her in for a hug. At first Caitlyn was caught by surprise, she was ready for the yelling and the anger but It never came….all that came were the silent cries coming from Vi. Her face nuzzled deep in Caitlyn’s neck, Caitlyn caressing the back of VI’s neck to ease her; Caitlyn really wasn’t expecting this, her mother was right….Vi truly was a blessing. Just then, Vi pulled away and looked at Caitlyn with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes; Caitlyn was truly confused….
“Wait you’re not angry with me?” She signed, Vi shook her head no “of course not, I understand. I did this…and now I have to act on my actions” Vi signed. Caitlyn smiled and shook her head no “no…we did this” Vi smiled as she got up and held out her hand for Caitlyn to take, Caitlyn got up and took VI’s hand; and just then, Vi picked her up by the waist like it was nothing…Caitlyn wrapped her legs around Vi and buried her face in VI’s neck. And as Vi carried her up to the bedroom, she felt a wave of glee rush through her veins.
They were laying in bed tangled up and then Vi signed something Caitlyn will never forget “I love you” and for the first time in her life, she truly felt loved. “I love you” she signed back as she nuzzled her face in VI’s chest….Vi was the best thing she could ever ask for.

Chapter Text
Another five months had gone by and Caitlyn was now eight months pregnant, and Vi couldn’t had been the perfect partner than she already was; Vi went to the doctor checkups, read up on things about how to take care of Caitlyn…and late nights whenever Caitlyn would sleep, she would read about how to take care of a new born. In all honesty, Vi was excited to become a parent; one night she told Caitlyn she was afraid she would be a horrible parent…she told Caitlyn she didn’t want to be like Kenny. Caitlyn reassured Vi that she was nothing like him, she was going to do amazing at raising her own.
Some nights Vi would wait in the living room for Caitlyn to come home from work, Vi insisted Caitlyn to take leave for her pregnancy but Caitlyn wasn’t ready to just give up the search on Kenny; because she knew as long as Kenny was still out there roaming the streets, Vi wouldn’t rest nor stop being extremely paranoid. Vi swears most nights, she feels like she’s being watched….felt like someone was in the apartment; this worried Caitlyn because the more Vi lacked sleep, the more VI’s health became a problem. It stressed her out along with work, but Vi always made sure she was alright…Vi took care of her. Just like tonight, when she got home, she saw Vi in the recliner waiting for her.
The second she stepped foot out of the elevator, Vi got up from the recliner and made her way towards Caitlyn to help her with her jacket and shoes. After that, Vi gently picked Caitlyn up bridal style and carried the pregnant Caitlyn up the stairs and to the bedroom; soon, Vi was running some bath water while Caitlyn undressed herself. Days like these m, Vi understood….Caitlyn looked exhausted and sad; mostly upset at herself for not finding out where Kenny was, and Vi hated how hard Caitlyn was on herself. She saw Caitlyn look at herself in the mirror and it almost broke her to see her girlfriend so upset; so she got behind Caitlyn, caressed Caitlyn’s shoulders and looked Caitlyn in the mirror. She then started to breathe in and out, wanting Caitlyn to reciprocate it…telling Caitlyn to breathe….
And Caitlyn did so, soon after, Vi helped Caitlyn in the bathtub and waited patiently until Caitlyn got done; after that, Vi helped Caitlyn dry off and put on her robe…Vi insisted on Caitlyn to dress up for a surprise. Caitlyn was curious but did as she was told, she ended up putting on a dark blue turtleneck midi sweater dress. soon after Vi helped Caitlyn downstairs to the kitchen and served Caitlyn her favorite dish; which Caught Caitlyn off guard, sure VI’s been learning to cook but since when was she this good at making roast beef. And as she ate, she could see how nervous Vi was; it was also seeing Vi in a suit for the first time without her complaining….what was Warwick up to she thought as she smirked at Vi which made Vi turn red in the face.
She could tell Vi wasn’t comfortable in that suit, but she still wore it….why? It was then, Vi had dragged her out of the apartment and out of the Kiramman estate; she insisted on driving which Caitlyn was reluctant only because Vi couldn’t properly drive. But Vi said the surprise was only ten minutes away, so she gave Vi the keys; and surprisingly Vi was amazing at driving, and just like Vi promised…they made their destination in ten minutes. And the place was beautiful, how the hell did Vi find this place? They were on-top of a hill where they could see the whole city, the moonlight mixed with the city lights, the city noises, the midnight breeze….it was beautiful. And just for a moment, Caitlyn closed her eyes and took in this very moment…..
It was until she opened her eyes back up and turned around to praise Vi….Vi was down on one knee, a little dark blue box in her hands….and inside the box was a blue sapphire ring….it matched her eyes. “Vi?….” Was all she could sign before Vi started to sign “I truly don’t know how I can put my love for you into words….all I can say is that from the moment you walked into the interrogation room, I knew my life would never be the same. You stole my heart and nothing on this earth could ever make me regret that…..truth is, I’ve never loved anyone as much as I love you….” Vi stopped for a moment to look down and gather up the courage to finish….meanwhile Caitlyn was on the verge of tears.
“You make me better….and If anyone asked me today, who do I want to spend the rest of my life with, I’d say….” Vi stopped signing and looked up with tears in her eyes, and then she spoke “I…..just….want…..you” her voice was monotoned and lisped….and after hearing Vi speak to her, Caitlyn started to cry “will you marry me?” Vi finally signed, Vi didn’t have time to register it; Caitlyn pulled her up and hugged her tightly as she possibly could, with Vi being much more taller and her being pregnant…it was difficult but she made it work by standing on her tip toes and Vi bending down with all her might. Caitlyn pulled away and rested her forehead on VI’s.
“Yes….” Caitlyn mouthed
———————————-
It was around five in the morning when Caitlyn got up; her phone was going off like crazy. It was Jayce texting her about the council’s meeting in an hour which was weird…why were they having a meeting this early in the morning. So she called Jayce demanding for answers; she got up, put her robe on and woke Vi up because she knew Vi wouldn’t be happy if she hadn’t and went downstairs to make a cup of tea. She entered the kitchen, put Jayce on speaker and started to move around the kitchen; she was in the middle of stirring her tea and continued to talk with Jayce about the details when she heard a noise coming from the living room. She didn’t think of it at first given the fact that she woke up Vi….but then she realized it took Vi a while to get out of bed.
She stopped in her tracks when a eerie feeling crept up on her, she shook her head…maybe she was still exhausted. “Remind me again what this meeting is about?” She asked Jayce “I believe it’s about that drug lord Silco…more of that shimmer crap surfaced up in Piltover…more people are in hospitals” Jayce responded. And just then, Caitlyn turned around just for something hard to hit her in the head; she felt huge hands around her throat “Hang it up!” She heard the man say, she didn’t hesitate…she felt around for the phone and just before she hung up on Jayce, she heard him call out for her concerned. She couldn’t quite recognize the man at first but then his dark brown hair and his eyes gave it away “Ke-kenny!” She screamed out and it made Kenny panic.
So he tightened his grip around Caitlyn’s neck and flung her to the floor, Caitlyn landed hard on her side, her head was hurting from where she got hit but wasn’t worried about her….she was worried about the baby. So she started to plead but Kenny showed no remorse as he stalked her “where is that trash?!” He yelled as he kicked Caitlyn in the stomach….Caitlyn screamed out in agony as Kenny kicked her again; Caitlyn’s vision blurred but she could see Kenny roll her on her back and get on top of her “I’m not gonna ask again sheriff” she said venomously as she saw Kenny pull out a knife and point it towards her stomach. “Please!” Caitlyn cried out, that didn’t matter to Kenny…..
And just as he was about to sink that knife into Caitlyn, he was tackled off of Caitlyn; but Caitlyn couldn’t register what was happening, she was in and out of consciousness and her stomach started to hurt….she could feel something wet coming from between her legs. She turned her head towards the muffled commotion to see Vi struggling to get something out of Kenny’s hand….a knife “V-Vi…” she tried calling out but it was barely audible. She witnessed Vi being flung across the kitchen counter but Vi didn’t stay down, she flew across the counter and jumped on Kenny only for Kenny to grab the knife that was discarded minutes ago and stab her in the side. It made Vi jump back…..
Kenny started to swing the knife around uncoordinated, Vi tried her best to dodge every single one but couldn’t….Kenny sliced her face from her forehead…through her left eye and all the way down to her bottom lip. Vi was now fighting with one eye; she saw Kenny make his move and lunge at her, he backed her to the counter as he tried to stab her once more. But Vi wasn’t giving up, no matter how bad she was in pain…no matter how hard it became harder for her to breathe because Caitlyn needed her; Kenny stabbed her again, this time it was in her pelvic area, Vi took that opportunity to trail her hand up and claw at Kenny’s face…it made Kenny cry out in pain and jump back.
Vi didn’t let up, something inside her erupted when she looked over to see Caitlyn laying there barely conscious; she promised to keep Caitlyn safe no matter what….no matter the consequences….Kenny hurt Caitlyn and it woke up something within her. She managed to get behind Kenny, wrap one arm around Kenny’s neck and the other tucked under his chin….in this moment she felt the rage and the pain he left behind….all the late night crying because of him….she was about to kill him….about to snap his neck. But then she looked over to see her pregnant girlfriend laid out “you’re not him”
A memory of Caitlyn signing to her….Caitlyn was right….she’s not him, she was better. And so she whipped him around instead and started to punch him repeatedly until he fell to the floor; that didn’t stop her though, she got on top of Kenny and continued to bash her fist into Kenny’s face. Kenny held out his arm pleading for Vi to stop but Vi wasn’t. Until one final blow to Kenny’s face knocked him out; Vi stopped and just for a moment she sat there trying to catch her breath. She couldn’t, something was wrong…..she looked over and immediately got up; once she stood up, a wave of pain ruptured throughout her body, but she didn’t care…she needed to get to Caitlyn. She limped her way to Caitlyn, blood oozing out from the stab wounds, her heart felt like it was about to explode…..
Her breaths became erratic as she bent down and picked up Caitlyn from the floor….more pain erupted as she slowly limped her way to the living room and sat Caitlyn on the couch; Vi couldn’t keep her weight up so she stumbled to the floor, her breathing picked up tremendously, her vision blurred….something was telling her it was time to sleep. And as she was closing her eyes, she felt a hand latch on to her shirt shaking her awake weakly. She slowly turned her head and looked up to see Caitlyn mouthing something….stay awake.
Caitlyn had managed to crawl off the couch and over Vi to try and Keep Vi awake; but she was in so much pain herself. Her water had broke which wasn’t good, she wasn’t due for another month, and the contractions were bad. At one point, she nearly lost conscious when one came, she screamed out in agony; she felt something weird, so she looked down to see blood dripping down her leg….a lot of it. "Vi.." she called out barely audible when she saw Vi lose consciousness; she weakly started to tap Vi's cheek but Vi wasn't waking up...worst thing was that Caitlyn was on the verge of passing out herself from the amount of blood and pain she was enduring. And just as all hope was lost, she heard the elevator door.
She looked over to see multiple medics and enforcers flooding her apartment, and behind them was her brother Jayce; thank god she was on the phone with him she thought. "Caitlyn!" She heard Jayce call out, and just as Jayce approached.... Caitlyn lost consciousness.
--------------------------------
When Caitlyn regained consciousness, she was on a gurney being rushed through the doors of her father's hospital. She saw multiple nurses around her, her brother on one side...she started looking around until her eyes landed on the gurney behind her....Vi. A nurse was on top of her giving CPR; Caitlyn started to panic "Violet!" She started to scream out... multiple nurses surrounded her "Sheriff! We need you to call down" one nurse called out just as Mel approached. Caitlyn felt another contracton rupture, she started to scream out in agony "get her in now!" Mel yelled out, and with that...they rushed Caitlyn into a room readying her.
Caitlyn gripped the side bar of the bed with one hand and squeezed her brothers hand with the other, Mel between her legs urging her to keep pushing; Caitlyn was sweaty, her hair stuck to her forehead, she was pale and tired for the most part....her eyes were extremely red from the crying. "W-i need to-see Vi" she cried out "she's in good hands Caitlyn, you're father will take care of her" Mel reassured her. Caitlyn laid there crying as she looked at Mel, Mel nodded for Caitlyn to keep pushing and so she did....she did until finally....the baby was out. "We got him! It's a boy Cait" Mel said as she quickly laid the crying baby in Caitlyn's arms. Mel looked over to Jayce and gave him the scissors to cut the cord....VI should be here to do this he thought.
Caitlyn cried and smiled as she looked down to see her child in her hands....and just as Jayce cut the cord, the heart rate monitor started to spike; Caitlyn grew limp "Caitlyn?!" Mel rushed over to grab the baby and gave him to one of the nurses. Meanwhile, one of the other nurses quickly guided Jayce out; "Give her fluids now!" Mel yelled out as she declined the bed and cautiously started to bag her "wake up Cait! Breathe!" Caitlyn lie there unmoving, her empty eyes staring up at the ceiling.......
Meanwhile in the surgery wing....
"Stand clear!" Vi's body convulsed but no heartbeat. They had successfully removed the damaged valve and replaced it with a new one which was what Tobias couldn't understand....Vi was supposed to be breathing; they stopped the bleeding and stitched up her wounds....what was wrong? "No pulse!" One of the surgeons called out "go again!" Tobias ordered as he looked intently at the heart rate monitor.....
No pulse.....

Chapter Text
The hospital room was dim lit, the air was cold, and all Caitlyn could hear was the muffled beeping of her heart rate monitor and the quiet whispers of her parents. She looked over to see the bright sun shining through the room….but her Vi wasn’t standing there holding her hand. She looked around and found no evidence of her new born child in view….where are they? Caitlyn’s heart rate monitor started to beep faster; it caught Cassandra’s attention, so she excused herself from her husband and made her way over to her daughter.
She sat on the hospital bed and started caressing Caitlyn’s face; she saw Caitlyn try to sit up while pulling at the nasal cannula in her nose “Caitlyn, calm down you’re safe” she reassured her, but Caitlyn unwrapped herself from the covers and tried to get out of the bed; Cassandra put her hands on Caitlyn’s shoulders to stop her “Caitlyn you need to rest” She pleaded, Caitlyn clapped back “and I need to see my child!” Her voice had risen without noticing. Cassandra slightly squeezed Caitlyn’s shoulder’s “the baby is alright dear I promise” Cassandra said. There was a beat of silence before the room was filled with Caitlyn’s silent cries.
“A-And Vi-Violet?” Caitlyn choked out, she felt her mothers hand on her back rubbing circles to calm her “She’s fine dear….she hasn’t woken up yet” just then, Cassandra felt Caitlyn release a long breath she had been holding in along with more cries. “Violet….she-she did everything in her power to save us….” Caitlyn said in between cries “she…she proposed to me” she finished. Cassandra came to a halt, she got up from the bed and made her way in front of Caitlyn. She saw Caitlyn looking down…but she could see her daughter holding in her tears, fidgeting around with the ring on her finger. She could tell her daughter was struggling to keep it together….Caitlyn acted strong in front of others but knew she could break in front of her mother.
Cassandra wasted no time and wrapped her arms around her daughter “it’s alright dear…she’s going to be okay” Caitlyn held her mother tightly as she could and let herself breakdown, as much as she wanted to stay strong…she couldn’t anymore. A few minutes later, Mel entered the room; rolling in a clear container in and inside was a newborn baby boy. Caitlyn immediately pulled away from her mothers embrace and got up; she quickly walked over towards the clear container and her heart swelled.
Inside the container was a small baby with a baby blue hat covering his soft dark blue hair, his skin was red, his little nose flared as he yawned, and his beautiful round cheeks….they were like Vi’s. More tears streamed down Caitlyns face with a smile of glee on her face “you look just like you're mother little one” Caitlyn choked out as she carefully picked up the newborn and cradled him on her chest. His coos and little noises warmed her heart as she slowly made her way over to the bed; Cassandra and Mel smiled “you know he hasn’t fed yet, he must be hungry” Mel said.
Caitlyn looked up to see both her best friend and mother reassuring her, and without anymore doubt, she carefully scooted back on the bed; took off her gown enough to remove a breast out and almost immediately, the newborn latched on and started drinking. Caitlyn was in awe, she gently caressed the baby’s face as she slowly started to rock side to side. “He still needs a name” her mother said, Caitlyn looked up and her mind went straight to Vi….she wanted Vi to be here so they could make the decision together; “Not without Violet” Caitlyn responded softly and turned her attention back to the newborn.
The baby looked like Vi so much it scared her, besides the blue hair. She just wished Vi was here to see the baby for the first time….
——————————
A week had gone by and the baby cried nonstop, she tried feeding him, changing him and her mother even tried to help but nothing worked. It was only then when Caitlyn visited Vi with the baby and it clicked. Maybe the baby just wanted her mother….so she laid the crying baby in the crook of VI’s neck and the crying ceased almost immediately. Vi had a way of calming people with her magical touch, and she was good at it. Caitlyn remembers coming home from work stressed and Vi would just hold her….the stress itself would just disappear without a trace. So she got it….their child just itched for her mothers touch. She watched as the baby fidgeted around, his tiny hand gripped at VI’s cheek; and then Caitlyn’s eyes locked onto VI’s face.
VI’s left eye was covered and taped in gauze, Tobias couldn’t save her eye; he said the cut to VI’s eye was too deep, and the cut along her forehead and down to her chin would leave a scar after the stitches were out. VI’s hair was getting longer, her freckles that ran across her cheeks and nose were popping in a way that made Caitlyn melt. Tears threatened to spill out of Caitlyn’s eyes, she misses that bright smile Vi would give whenever their eyes would meet or them random big bear hugs Vi would give out of nowhere. Caitlyn’s mind suddenly started to wonder….
Her mind went straight into investigative mode, how’d Kenny know where Vi was? Vi almost never went out, she was afraid to; and no one knew where she lived exactly except her close family members and…..Maddie. She put her hand on the baby’s back so he wouldn’t fall and then reached for her phone and dialed for Steb. She told Steb to quietly investigate Maddie to make sure to not tip her off; and if he found anything out m, Caitlyn will handle it when she went back to work. If Maddie did this….she’d lose it.
She sighed and then looked at her comatose fiancé and realized that Vi had no family members here…it was just her and the baby; so she dialed for her mother and immediately started to investigate on her long lost sister. And surprisingly, it wasn’t hard to find Powder; she was up in Piltover not far from them. She figured that at times like these, Vi would want to see her sister….and so here Caitlyn was, standing in front of a good size brick house with two cars in the driveway. She knocked on the door and waited, and just then the door opened; and there stood a girl no more than seventeen with blue hair in two bun on each side of her head, a black half shirt with some blue jeans. Caitlyn could see a tattoo that went up one of her arms, it looked like blue smoke or could be clouds…she wasn’t sure.
“Oh my gods it’s you!” The woman yelled out in excitement, Caitlyn flinched in surprise and confusion “you’re the Sheriff! I’m a huge fan toots!” The woman exclaimed as she held out her hand. Caitlyn chuckled and took the woman’s hand “I’m truly flattered Ms.?” The woman waved her hand “oh please call me Powder” Caitlyn froze “your Powder?….VI’s sister?” Powder froze, her breath became rugged “How…How you know Vi?” Caitlyn sadly smiled “I-I can take you to her…if you’ll allow it. I’ll explain on the way” Powder looked back in the house and back at Caitlyn and nodded.
—————————-
Caitlyn had explained the situation with Vi, explained that Vi had been looking for her since they were split up…she explained that she met Vi almost a year ago and they’d been together every since; aside from that, Caitlyn explained to Powder that she was an aunt which Caught Powder off guard, she found it hard to believe that her sister was now a mom. They arrived at the hospital and Powder was nervous to enter VI’s hospital room; it was until Caitlyn reassured her that it was okay, and so Powder entered the room and she nearly broke seeing her sister laying in that hospital bed. She slowly made her way over to the bed and she could barely recognize Vi….
Her facial features were different but in a good way, her face was more round indicating that Vi was being taken care of, her freckles stood out and what happened to her eye? Powder knitted her brows together “H-He did this?” She whispered to herself, she almost forgot her sister was deaf…it’s been so long. She looked down at VI’s hands and smiled, a memory popped in her head “hey fat hands” she choked out as she caressed her sister's cheek. She used to call Vi fat hands because Vi used her fists for everything…used to fight off Powders bullies.
“Powder?” She heard Caitlyn softly call out for her, she turned around and froze; she saw Caitlyn standing in the doorway with a newborn baby cradled in her arms. “Is that..” Caitlyn smiled and shook her head yes as she walked towards Powder. She gently placed the baby in Powder’s arms and Powder instantly started to cry; “he looks just like Vi…it’s-it’s creepin me out” she chuckled. Caitlyn smiled “I thought so myself” Powder trailed her hand up to the baby’s head and started to play with the stray blue hair “he has your hair…” she turned towards Caitlyn “what’s his name?” Caitlyn’s smile faltered, she cleared her throat “I-I haven’t named him yet…I was waiting for Vi to wake”
Powder looked back down at the sleeping baby “ya know, my dad’s middle name was Calum. Vi used to call him that to taunt him when they used to mess around. They were close…I’m sure she’ll love the name” Caitlyn looked over at Vi and then back at the baby and Powder….
About fifteen minutes later, the birth certificate was stamped awaiting VI’s signature with the baby’s name; Calum Kiramman, it felt right…most importantly, Vi would love it.
Notes:
And powder makes her appearance 🙏🏾🥲also, y’all think Maddie was behind the break in?
Chapter 9: Chapter 9
Summary:

Chapter Text
The bright light from the room burned through her eyelid, the smell of anesthetic filled her nose, and the constant cold shivered up her right arm. She opened her eyes or at least tried to…her left eye wouldn’t open, so she slowly brought her left hand up and felt around her eye. She winced when her fingertips grazed over the soft fabric that covered her eye; Vi didn’t like that too much, so she started to pull at the fabric….until a soft calloused hand stopped her….not Caitlyn’s hand.
Vi froze at the unfamiliar touch, her vision in her right eye was still blurry but she could see a woman hovering over her with blue hair…light blue hair instead of the dark blue hair she’s used to; the woman’s hair was put up in two buns with blue eyes…and as VI’s vision began to even out, the more she found the woman oddly familiar. Vi weakly knitted her brows together in confusion, she couldn’t figure out this feeling….the feeling of knowing this woman. She saw the woman sign something and VI’s newly upgraded heart nearly gave out “it’s been awhile fat hands”
The memories of her younger sister surfaced, her mind started comparing the memories to the woman and her mind finally pieced it together….it was her….Powder. Vi started to breathe erratically as she weakly trailed her shaky hand up to Powders face and without knowing….Vi spoke with her voice “Pow” it was raspy and so monotoned, barely audible or understandable, but Powder did…she always did. Vi used to talk freely around Powder because Powder always made her feel heard or seen; she trusted her little sister to not judge her, and just like now….her younger sister looked at her with love and nothing but support.
“It’s me sis….I’m here now” Powder signed with tears threatening to spill; she leaned into VI’s weak touch “you have someone waiting to meet you” she signed Vi knitted her brows just as Powder got up and exited the room, a few moments later Caitlyn appeared in the doorway with Powder. Vi was already crying of relief seeing her fiancé safe but then Vi looked down at Caitlyn’s arms and saw him…Vi froze. She laid still as she could when Caitlyn made her way to her bedside and gently laid the baby in the crook of her neck. And as soon as Vi felt that soft touch of her sons skin, she broke; her good eye closed…brows knitted together and tears ran down her face. She trailed her hand up to touch the fidgeting baby and all it did was make her break more.
She felt the hospital bed did so she opened her eye and saw Beautiful eyes staring back at her in awe “Calum…” she saw Caitlyn sign. At first Vi was confused, she’s only heard that name whenever she used to call her dad that…but then she looked over at Powder and then at the baby….it clicked. She nodded and smiled as her eye closed once more taking in everything. Her sister was here, her girlfriend was safe and…and she now had someone to care for in a way no one did for her. She couldn’t ask for anything more.
———————————-
Later that day Caitlyn, her parents and Powder silently sat in the dim lit room watching Vi bond with Calum; Vi never let go…everyone saw the light return in VI’s eyes the minute she saw Calum. She wouldn’t let anyone hold him unless it was Caitlyn taking him to feed or freshen up; and everyone understood. It was good for both of them, because since Vi got ahold of Calum….Calum hadn’t fussed and Vi herself felt calm. It was around eight at night, Caitlyn’s mother had left for a meeting while Tobias had a patient to tend to; Powder had went somewhere…Caitlyn didn’t ask, she didn’t mind it though because it was just them now.
She watched Vi rub tiny circles on Calum’s back being gentle as an angel, and in between those gentle circles…she would witness Vi bent her head down and softly kiss Calum on his covered forehead. She would also witness Vi wince out in pain whenever Calum slightly moved on her chest; Caitlyn wanted to take Calum away from Vi to ease her pain but she knew Vi would lie and say she was fine. So instead, she waited for Vi to fall asleep; and just then, Vi had fallen asleep with Calum gently snoring on her chest….she walked over and quietly but gently took hold of Calum and placed him in the clear container.
She looked at Vi and noticed faint blood on her chest staining VI’s hospital gown; Vi probably popped her stitches, so she made her way out the hospital room and called for her father. Minutes later, Vi woke up to Caitlyn and Tobias? Holding her up to remove her gown, she looked at Caitlyn in confusion and anger; “it’s okay” she saw Caitlyn sign just as she was being laid back on the bed. She saw Tobias peeling off the medicated clear tape from her bleeding stitches and then saw him grab some tweezers, a needle and some string.
About ten minutes later, Tobias was threw; he smiled and signed “take it easy Vi…you’re still healing” Vi smiled and nodded. She turned her head towards Caitlyn and her heart swelled; Caitlyn was already looking at her with worry “I’m okay cupcake…” she signed but Caitlyn’s worried face didn’t falter. “Come here” Vi signed and patted an empty spot next to her; Caitlyn got up from the chair and carefully nuzzled up against Vi, her arm gently resting on VI’s stomach and her face nuzzled deep in VI’s neck. Nothing needed to be said, because VI’s touch dissolved every worry and negative feeling she had.
VI’s magical touch….
——————————
Two more days go by and it was time for Vi to get her stitches out for her eye, Tobias had to stitch VI’s eye shut to keep it from getting infected; it didn’t bother Vi at first but then the constant feeling of the lingering. It felt like her eye was still there, the random pings of pain and then the itches. She didn’t want Caitlyn to see her without anything to hide this disgusting thing but Caitlyn never left her side; she held VI’s hand through it all and then once it was done, VI’s eye was completely sewn shut. She still had purple and yellow bruising but it was looking better…it was healing.
As the days went on, Nurses came and went, Powder ended up coming back with a boy named Ekko; someone Vi used to know before they got separated, and every now and then, Caitlyn would help Vi walk around the hospital. Her father said, in about a day or two she could go home. Vi spent her free time bonding more and more with Calum; Caitlyn could really tell, Vi and their son Calum will indeed be inseparable. And so without word, Caitlyn took out her phone and took a photo of the two most important people in her life.
A memory she couldn’t forget.
