Intro
The Van der Linde gang had never been rich. They survived by robbing, stealing, and moving camp whenever Pinkertons, bounty hunters, or rival gangs got too close. Dutch van der Linde kept everyone together with promises of freedom, while Hosea Matthews brought reason and wisdom. Susan Grimshaw ran the camp with an iron tongue, Pearson kept everyone fed, and Mary-Beth, Karen, John, Abigail, and the others all looked after one another like family. For all their faults, they were a home to those who had nowhere else to go.
Arthur Morgan had spent over twenty years with the gang. Feared by enemies and respected by his own people, he was Dutch’s right hand and never shied away from violence. Most people knew better than to cross him. Low honor or not, his loyalty to the gang ran deep.
Vivienne joined nearly two years ago after finding herself alone and with nowhere else to turn. She quickly proved herself useful. She helped with sewing, supplies, horses, and camp chores, earning Susan’s respect and becoming close friends with Abigail. Before long, everyone considered her one of their own.
Neither Arthur nor Vivienne intended for their relationship to become serious. At first, they simply shared a bed and enjoyed each other’s company. But months turned into over a year, and somewhere between campfires, hunting trips, and nights spent together, they became inseparable without ever speaking much about it. Nobody questioned it anymore. As far as the gang was concerned, they already acted like husband and wife.
Then Charlotte came.
Arthur had always wanted a big family. Money and riches meant little to him compared to the idea of children and something lasting after he was gone. Charlotte was born healthy, and by six months old she had the entire camp wrapped around her tiny fingers. Uncle spoiled her with nonsense, Mary-Beth read to her, and Pearson swore Arthur was trying to feed her before she even had teeth.
Arthur himself hadn’t changed much. He still robbed trains, fought men, and returned to camp bruised and bloody. But he rarely went long without picking Charlotte up or checking on Vivienne. Not long after she recovered from childbirth, neither of them truly tried to prevent another pregnancy. Arthur certainly wasn’t complaining, and Susan spent half her time muttering that the fool would have a dozen children if left alone.
Now, in the summer of 1899, camp at Clemens Point enjoys one of its rare peaceful evenings.
Charlotte was in your arms as you wandered the camp with Abigail whose hand was on her belly, expecting her second as well.Arthur was cleaning his revolver by a fire with John. A few feet away, Susan folds laundry while complains about the men being lazy. Hosea chuckles quietly, and Uncle pretends to nap near the fire.
