"(Y/N)!!"

A loud voice interrupts me from my cooking which also almost made me drop the pile of fresh cookies I had just made. I close my eyes and look back and see my brother Klaus stumbling over while struggling to put on his long leather jacket he stole from me many months ago. 

"If you want money for drugs then I'm not giving you anything." Klaus groans loudly and starts to rub his tired eyes.

"Aww come on! You're my favorite sibling after all right after Ben of course but still I've done everything you've told me to do which was to stay quiet and other things not so important." he says waving his hands around and making me roll my eyes. 

It's around 10 in the morning and he just got up and is desperately in need of some drugs, I love Klaus and I get why he takes them but I don't want anything bad happening to any of my family again...

I stare down at my hands and fight back the tears. "Yooo hoo earth to (Y/N)." Klaus waves his hand in front of my face and doesn't stop smiling. "Ben wouldn't want you doing this Klaus.." We both stay silent looking at each other.

Klaus shrugs his shoulders and steals a cookie from the plate, "You're not my mom." with that he sticks his tongue out and gives me the peace sign before leaving the house. The family has been back since our father Reginald died but everything's been the same as always, we're all distant from each other and not really caring about what the other does. 

My sister Allison has been busy with her daughter.

Luther has been obsessed with finding who killed father.

Diego is busy with helping the police and fighting with Luther.

Klaus is...well himself.

Five has returned and is obsessed with the apocalpyse.

Vanya has been practicing for a violin recital.

Ben is no longer with us...

It's been a few days since I've returned to the academy and it feels so lonely without him. Ever since he left I also decided to leave the academy despite father hating me afterwards, ever since he adopted all of us he was never a real parent to us. Ben and I had each other. 

Since I was a little girl I loved him and would always follow him around the academy and encourage him on our missions and promising we'd get the hell away from father, but that never happened and now he's dead.

Ben died when he went out for a mission and it was Klaus who spilled the news to me. We had a small funeral and a day later I left telling all of my brothers that I couldn't take the pain of being in the house without him. 

I was number 8 and ever since mom gave me a name I felt better, I never liked going on missions because that would make me use my powers, I just wish I could've also had Klaus' power to see the dead, to see him again.

Klaus would always tell me "He's always here, watching over you." or "Ben says you've never changed and that you look more beautiful every day." he'd tell me while fake gagging. While Klaus being Klaus he would always have my back and help me with everything I needed, he's the only one in the family who ever looked after me when I left.

"(Y/N), do you know where Allison is I want to-" Luther comes to the kitchen and I snap at him, "Stop talking about the moon!" Luther's blue eyes widen and seems surprised by me snapping at him. "She went out for coffee with Vanya so I don't know when she'll be back." Luther slowly backs away and mutters something to himself.

I close my eyes shut and begin to cry silently. Opening my eyes I look around me and wonder if Ben is here watching me. "Ben?" I call out hoping he'd answer but he never does. I hear the front door open and walk out of the kitchen and into the living room to see Klaus with none other than Adam. I wipe my tears quickly and smile at the boy, "Mom!" my son comes running over to me and hugs my waist tightly burying his face on my stomach.

"Hey sweetheart,how was school? Is it 2 already?" I ask looking down to my wrist watch and look up at Klaus. "Yeah..about that." he looks down at my son and I do too when he steps back from me and holds tightly onto a book with his both hands.

"Adam did something happen at school?"

"Uncle Klaus almost beat up my classmates." he quickly says.

Klaus looks surprised and blocks his face with his hands so I won't hit him. "What the hell Klaus?!" He grabs Adam and hides behind him. "I was just defending my nephew! Some bullies were pushing him and calling him names. Please don't hit me!"

I stare at them and sadly look at my son, "Is this true?" his brown eyes look up at me and quickly looks away and stares at the ground. "My classmates were calling me names and telling me I was a nobody because I liked reading books and...because I don't have a dad."

Klaus is already crying so I ignore him and knelt down to my sons' level and hug him. "I have no idea this was happening. You should never listen to people like them, and whenever they want to harm you you need to fight and never show them that you're weak. You're stronger than you know Ben." realizing what I just said I look back and see Adam looking at me with sadden eyes. I curse myself for mentioning him in front of Adam, a boy like him needs a father figure and unfortunately I can't give it to him.

"You miss dad a lot don't you?" my boy asks me and I nod my head "More than you can imagine, I'm sure your father would've done anything to have you in his arms." Adam looks up at Klaus who's talking to no one or so he thinks.

"Mom who is uncle Klaus talking to?" 

I stand up and keep hugging Adam while Klaus looks down at kneels to his level, "To your dad.." Adam looks at between me and him confused since I never told him about our powers. "It's a long story but to make it short, your mom can't see your dad only I can." Klaus looks to his side where Ben supposedly is and nods his head.

Klaus looks again to my son, "He says that he's sorry for the mistakes he did and that he loves you and your mom very much and whatever happens next he'll always be here for you." Adam with tears streaming down his small face and looks over to where Ben is. Despite not seeing him he knows he's watching him, he looks so much like him.

"I love you too Dad..thank you uncle Klaus." Adam says leaning forward and hugging Klaus which caught him by surprise and fought so hard to not cry. "Thank you for always keeping an eye out for our son, Ben."
