Harper blinked and squinted again but her eyes widened immediately when she realized who it was and the fact that he was coming over.

"Harrrrper." Butcher greeted with a wolfish grin and held his arms out. "What a surprise to see you here, babe! Look at you."

Harper stared for a moment before sucking in a breath. "Butch, h-hey!" she sputtered and reached for her phone in her bag beside her.

"'S that your friend, Harper?" Coco asked, eyeing the man. He seemed like he was friendly enough, however, there was something...off about him.

"S-sure is, baby." Harper said as cheerfully as she could manage, grabbing her phone tightly and went to hold it out to Coco. "Hey, honey, can you do me a favour and call your brother to tell him we'll need a ride back? I totally forgot."

"Here, let me. I haven't talked to Griffith in ages." Butcher grinned and grabbed the phone from her. Harper almost flinched when he got as close as he did but held it back, watching him.

Coco furrowed her brows and looked up to the man.

"Hey, it's not nice to grab things from people's hands." Coco scolded.

Butcher simply gave a wide grin again before going to dial Griffith's number from Harper's address book, patting Harper's shoulder firmly. "You're awfully big there, Harp. About ready to pop, huh?" he commented while the phone rang.

"..Yep."

Griffith had just left Lowell's office, finally having wrapped up the final paperwork to get the business license for the shop renewed. He couldn't be any happier than he was now. He had his sister back in his life, he had his business poised and ready to open soon, and Harper was well on her way through her pregnancy. Everyone was happy and healthy, and everything was good. Nothing could possibly bring him down.

He could feel his phone vibrating in his pant pocket and he promptly went to answer it. An easy grin came to his face when he saw it was Harper. He assumed that she was just calling to check in, something she was doing more frequent now considering she was getting so hefty and Griffith liked to hear from her.

"Hey, baby." Griffith crooned as he answered.

"Well hello to you too, Fitz." Butcher greeted with a chuckle, giving Harper's shoulder another very firm pat.

Harper forced a small smile for Coco's sake. "Coco, honey, why don't we go home and play, hm? It's g-getting kinda hot, don't you think?"

Griffith tensed when he heard the man's voice on the other end. Not Harper.

"Who the fuck is this?" He asked.

Coco looked to Harper, brows furrowed as she noted the forced smile and the subtle stumbling over her words. Her gaze flickered to the man, recalling that unease he'd brought her. She wondered if he did the same for Harper.

"Mm, yeah, it is pretty hot. Maybe we should go." Coco nodded, agreeing.

"It's Butchy, you know! We met through Kasper." Butcher said with another grin, not moving his hand from Harper's shoulder. Harper quickly went to start putting things in the basket, trying to not shake. She was terrified Butcher was going to hold onto his promise from before.

Kasper.

Griffith's jaw immediately set and his body tensed. He hadn't expected to ever run into anyone from the life he and Harper had worked so hard to leave behind, let alone anyone from Kasper's gang with hard enough loyalties he came so far to pursue him and Harper.

"What the fuck do you want?" Griffith seethed.

Coco watched Harper struggle and she promptly hopped down from her perch and moved over to help her gather things faster.

"Oh, just checking in here on my favorite gal!" Butcher said cheerfully, fingers digging into Harper's shoulder briefly before finally letting go. "I won't hold you. I need to get going, actually. But Griffith... congratulations with the whole pregnancy thing. I'll be sure to let Kasper know he's going to be an uncle." Butcher said and pulled the phone away.

Griffith's eyes flew wide with panic and he felt his heart seize tight in his chest.

"B-Butcher, don't you fucking dare! Don't you fucking d-Butcher? Butcher!" Griffith hollered into the phone, absolutely livid...and undeniably horrified now.

Coco reached over to grab Harper's hand, gently tugging at it, the man making her increasingly uncomfortable now.

"Me and Harper are leaving now, Mister." She said.

Butcher hung up the phone and promptly dropped it into the basket Harper was packing up. He gave Coco a grin and a sarcastic thumbs up. "Sure thing, kid. I got some business to attend to anyhow." He looked at Harper then, eyes cold suddenly. "See you soon, Harper." he said.

Harper stared at him for a moment before managing to get herself up, grabbing onto Coco's hand tightly and grabbed the basket.

Coco squeezed Harper's hand back, a little scowl on her face as she watched the man retreat back to where he'd come from.

Harper stared after him too, undeniably starting to shake now that he was leaving. God, what were they doing to do? Butcher was in town. Butcher was going to tell Kasper. Butcher was going to kill her and her babies, she just fucking knew it.

She dropped the basket back onto the table after a moment of being frozen and internally freaking the fuck out and reached up to put that hand to her stomach, suddenly doubling over the most she could, really. "A-ah fuck!"
