[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Reena[/name_f] [name_m]Piers[/name_m] (27) is a co-worker of [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], older sister of [name_m]Nick[/name_m]. She was already an adult and moved out at the time her family moved to Manchester and she decided not to go with them. She is a niece of [name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] and [name_u]Fred[/name_u] and she and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] feel like cousins but are technically not blood-related since [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is only blood-related to [name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] is only blood-related to [name_u]Fred[/name_u].
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] are both co-workers at a local small business boutique. However [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is pregnant and about to go on maternity leave. Like [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], she is also bisexual and has also broken up with the baby’s father. She learned a lot about pregnancy from [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and takes maternity classes. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] has expressed interest in girls but is not romantically attracted to [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] or [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and would rather date someone her own age who is single. Unlike her ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her with a 20-year-old woman who was in a relationship with someone else…
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] was born with a heart defect that no one else in her family had. When she was just a week old, she had her first heart surgery. She has had three other heart surgeries and some blood transfusions to treat the condition until she got a heart transplant from her deceased maternal cousin [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m] in late 2017. She has lived a much healthier life and hasn’t had any complications since, but fears she may pass it down to her unborn baby. Her foetus’s heart appears fine on ultrasounds and has a 90% chance of not having the defect, but [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is still scared about the possible 10%. [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] have helped her through her worries, much like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]'s other co-workers at the boutique.
