Diegos Road to parenting

by Layingwithlay

Summary:

Aka all the random stories I wrote about Stanley and Diego being a father and son duo. Some of these are out of order to which I wrote.

Notes:

I miss Stan, I want him back I need need need more Stanley content.

Chapter 1: Whispers

Stanley could feel Diego whenever he glanced up from cleaning his knives. But he refused to look up when the man looked at him.

  Both were in a bad mood because of the other, Well at least Diego was in a bad mood because of Stan.

  Stan decided to mess around with Diegos knives, even when he said not too. Then he sliced his hand horribly, making blood go all over the place.

  It look like a horror movie with the amount of blood everywhere, then Diego made it worse in Stan's opinion, with flipping out of Stan's injury.  

  Much to Stan's annoyance, once he was bandaged up. Diego made him stay in the same room with him and look at the wall in a time out type of thing.

  "When are you going to let me get up or at least have something to do?", Stan asked bored from staring at this wall. 

  "When you learn to do what I tell you and not be a shithead when I leave for ten minutes", Diego replied barley looking up from whatever he was doing over there.

  "Aren't I punished enough with my hand", Stan said showing off his bandages hand, "No, that's just an outcome of your mistake. I still have to punish you".

  Stan just huffed and went back to looking at the wall, he refused to allow Diego to piss him off. The guy had a good way doing it though.

  Guess they both are meant to piss off each other while Stan stays. Though he's starting to wonder when the hell he's going back to Trudy, because Lila disappeared and he has a week or so before Trudy gets back.

 "Come on, brat", Diego said walking towards the door, "Where?", Stan asked hopping up from his spot.

  "So you can eat and i can send you to bed after", Diego replied walking through the hallways, with Stan right behind him.

  "Why do you want me to go to bed so early?", Stan asked with a raised brow, "because I have some plans tonight and I would rather you aren't terrorizing everything while I'm gone". 

  "I already do that whether your here or not", Stan replied making Diego roll his eyes fondly.

  By the time they finished Stanley was ready for bed, his hand hurt like hell but he was no baby so he didn't say anything about it.

  So he eventually passed out on the couch in the brothers room. He could have slept on one of the beds since they didn't care but he prefers sleeping closer to the doors.

  One being if Luthor farts horribly then he can just walk out completely.

Stanley did not appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night. Usually his mom would always wake him up when she came home at like 2am with some bass player. 

  But he could make out the voices of his uncle Klaus and dad. 

  "And where were you?", Klaus asked his dad who Stan knew was rolling his eyes.

  "Allison and I went to let our anger out for a while. Aren't you suppose to be asleep or something?", Stan heard Diego ask, "oh come on, Diegoooo. You and Allison never hang out what did you two do?".

  "Be quieter, idiot", Diego hissed, "you're going to wake him up". Stan rolled his eyes under the blanket, way to late for that Papi. 

  It was silent before someone spoke again, "We just had a little fun, to take Allison's mind off of Claire and everything".

  "Hm did it help?", Klaus asked, "Probably a little. I don't know, man. She's going through it, I don't think anyone can help her but herself", Came Diego's reply.

  "Shouldn't you know? I mean you have a kid too, shouldn't you to bond together over that", Stan didn't know why those to things were related.

  "Well for one, the thing we bond over is asleep over there and hers doesn't even exist", Stan decided that he should probably stop listening on a private conversation but he was interested.

  Before the conversation could continue, there was a huge bang. The door was swung open with force that shook the wall it slammed onto.

   Stan couldn't decide if he should look over, or simply continue his fake sleeping.

  "Jesus Five, what the fuck are you doing?", Stan heard Diego whisper scream, none of them respected sleeping people. 

 "I'm just coming to sleep, don't have to have a fit about it", Came Five's slurred loud speech, making Stan wince at it being so close to his ears. 

  He has sensitive ears, okay? 

 "Are you drunk, Fivey?", Klaus asked with a few giggles, "I only had 3 drinks", Came Fives obviously smashed voice.

  "More like 30", Stan rolled his eyes at all of them, they all are annoying as hell. With their constant banter and shushing as if Stan's not awake. 

With Luther’s snorting and his farting,Their talking and laughing. Stand about to go sleep in the bathtub. He's so close to doing it.

  "If you wake up Stan I swear I'll kill all of you, violently", Diego threatened for the 100th time that hour, no one even listens anymore. 

  Another 30 minutes went by before they eventually all passed out. Or at least shut the hell up. 

  Stan was already on his way to pass out again, until he felt someone tug his blanket slightly. 

 Oh that's it, he's going to beat someone's ass now. Can't he just sleep in peace? 

  Whoever tugged his blanket where it was above his head and tucked it down below his chin. Stan didn't no why they did, but they left after that. 

 He zoned into half a conversation before passing out completely, no one could whisper could they?

"—-deep sleeper", someone pointed out, "luckily—he will smother himself if sleeps towards the back or the couch and blanket over his head", another person said.

  He's 12 years not 12 months olds, what the hell is wrong with these people?

 And why did he agree to stay here with Lila again?

Chapter 2: To be a father

Summary:

Do NOT wake up Stanley. Also Diego’s top tier Parenting.

Notes:

Much like the last one. But with a little more. My first umbrella fanfiction and og my first chapter but I posted out of order from my Wattpad lol

Diego was so exhausted, going against Sparrows and watching his supposed kid was not easy at all.

The little shit was tiring, reckless, and annoying. But Diego will be damned if anything happens to him on his watch.

Even though he is almost 80% sure Stan is not his kid, but he hated to admit that Stan was growing on him.

So when his tiring day finally ended, all he wanted to do was sleep. In his own bed away from everyone else.

But of course, he forgot he made Stanley sleep in the same room as him to watch his ass at night.

So his bed was occupied by a small lump and the last thing Diego wanted was to wake the little terror at 2am.

He would rather sleep in the bathtub then deal with Stanley with both of them being on no sleep.

So he took to sleeping on the small couch in the room instead. That way Diego can get some sleep without worrying about Stan running around.

 

Diego shot awake, his nervous eyes glancing around the room until it landed on Stan still passed out on the bed.

His dream, well nightmare felt so real. It was unbelievably scary to think about how attached he was to Stanley already.

The thought of losing him was enough to make him have nightmares. Diego promised not to get to attached to anyone, but apparently he can't count for everything.

Just to double check everything, Diego carefully made his way towards the bed. Until he could feel Stanley's light snores.

He was actually... kind of cute when he was sleeping instead of bad mouthing Him.

Diego made the decision after a minute to just sleep on the other side of Stanley. It would make himself feel better to feel his kid moving around and breathing.

It was easier to sleep with someone next to him, Diego would never admit that he slept better with another person in the room.

Diego was a bit worried that Stan didn't notice someone in his bed. Sleeping that deep was unsafe, but lucky him he has his dad to protect him.

  Diego shot up again for the third time tonight, but this time he woke up by someone touching his shoulder.

  He knew it wasn't the kid since he could feel Stanley cuddled close to his back. Which means someone is inside his room where his child is currently sleeping.

Someone's getting an ass beating for this, which that someone keeps shaking him.

  "Diegooooo wake uppppp", Diego looked at the person currently shaking him, Klaus couldn't even let him sleep could he?

  "What time is it?", Diego asked running his eyes,  Klaus gave a sly grin.

  "It's quarter past 5", Klaus answered loudly to which Diego shushed. "If you wake him up I swear to god I'll skin you alive", Diego threatened carefully getting up from the bed.

  Klaus shook his head, "Family Meetings Have no set times". Diego rubbed his eyes again, "Jesus christ", He mumbled before grabbing his shoes and heading down.

 
   "Good your all awake", Five States looking around at all his siblings, most ready to pass out again.

  "Yeah because you fucking called a meeting", Diego growled out collapsing into a chair next to Allison who nodded a greeting.

  Luthor as usual just Looks around clueless, "Wait what did you do with Stanley?", he asked noticing the boy no where in sight.

  Diego knew his brother was nosy as all his siblings were, but apparently Luther always thought Diego was killing Stanley whenever they were Alone for a little while.

  "He's asleep like everyone else at this ungodly hour, why? Do you think I chained him in the closet?", Diego asked with challenging eyes. Luther didn't answer. But Diego knows what he thinks.

  It's not been long since Stan was dropped off by his mom, and ever since them Luther is always getting on his ass for Not taking care of his kid even though he is trying to.

  But whenever Diego drags Stanley to punish him, Luther Jumps in with "dont be so Rough with him, Diego", "he's only 12", "Use words Not violence", "you need to be a role model, Dont teach him to kill", "your a father now you need to be responsible".

  The List goes on and on, just because Stanley isn't up Diego's ass 24/7 doesn't mean Diego isn't taking care of him.

  Luthor wants to play Daddy so badly, Diego wonders why he doesn't just take Stanley then or simply have his own pain in the ass spawn.

  "Hey are you even listening?", Five demanded, with his usual tone implying he was not in a good mood as per usual though.

  "I Have a lot on my mind. Sorry if im not 100% at all our Meetings. Look just Tell me when you make a plan. I have shit to do and raise",  Diego said feeling his tiredness suddenly come back again.

  He can Not Deal with Stan on barley any hours of sleep, plus end of the world as usual. Then the sparrows, all of its just messing with him now.

The Meeting turned into a huge argument, Diego just Tuned them out. Everything usually turned into an argument so it's not surprising in the end.

  The only thing to stop there fight was the power turning off suddenly. They all got tense, Diego especially got nervous as what was happening.

  He has a kid upstairs that might be in danger of randomly going out of existence without Diego even knowing. It was stressing him the hell out.

  "Better hope you still have a kid After this, one of us needs to", Allison said bitterly, which was getting on Diego's Nerves now.
 
Allison was all About herself and what she wanted, no one else came in Mind.

But then again, Diego's thought about Stanley then anyone else lately. So he understands Most of her mindset, but must she always remind them of this.

  She's losing it and Diego can tell, slowly falling deeper and deeper until she's just empty.

Diego decided that It's not his problem anymore, they are adults. They can handle it. His only problem was the one currently snoozing away on his bed.

He needs to go check on his kid before he does Any of this bullshit today. Stanley is number one compared to the others and the world.

  Diego quickly opened the door to the room and his heart immediately dropped. The bed was empty, yet it was still warm enough to where he was just there.

  Oh... god.. what if he got swallowed up too? He doesn't care it Stanley is biologically his son or not, He will take care of him no matter what.

  No matter whose kid it is, Stanley is his own responsibility and he's not about to lose him.

  "STANLEY",  he yelled out looking under the bed, "Stan where are you??". Diego continued to panic, looking down hallway And everything.

  "Stan?!", Diego yelled out, unfortunately bumping into Luthor while looking. "Eh, What are you doing?", Luthor asked looking concerned.

  "I can't find Stanley anywhere I look, I don't know what happened to him- I think he might be... gone". Luthor looking furious At Diego, "You lost your son?", Diego was not in a  mood to deal with Luther especially right now.

"You can't handle a kid, i can't believe you Knocked someone up like that and not even trying to parent your kid", Luther fumed helping his brother find his kid.

  "I am trying to parent. I'm new to this, okay? I need time to adjust and learn. Just have you seen Him?”, Diego said not feeling like actually taking to his brother now.

“If your not going to help me then move out of my way”, Diego growled shoving his brother aside before stalking away from him.

How is someone with no child going to tell me what to do? Luther always think he is the best at anything.

Even with no experience of having a kid, some how knows exactly how to parent a kid.

“Stanley!”, Diego yelled loudly, the other people here probably very annoyed with them Already.

Diego whistles as if he’s calling a dog again, hoping Stan just popped out of no where again.

It’s starting to worry him, he hasn’t seen Stan anywhere and anything could have happened to Stan. It would be Diego’s fault, because he didn’t watch his kid. Because he left him alone, because he’s a horrible dad Already. Because because because-

Diego heard soft voices coming from the other side of the door. One sounded childish enough to be Stan.

The door was already ajar, so Diego just opened it all the way. “Stanley get away from HIM NOW”, Diego growled loud enough.

Both Harlan and his kid looked at him with shock before immediately backing away from each other.

“I was just showing him my tapes”, Harlan said with a bit of fear edging his voice, Stan nodded along.

“I don’t care, Stanley come over here. Your not suppose to be out of the room and bed”, Diego said grabbing Stan’s arm towards him, “You never said either of those things, plus uncle Viktor is getting me a glass of water”.

Diego wasn’t that mad about Stan being out of bed, but with Harlan is another thing. It’s clear he can’t control his powers, so Stan’s in risk just standing here.

“You are not to be near Harlan, ever”, Diego said shaking Stan’s arm slightly. “what why?”, Stan asked in a whiny voice.

“Because it’s dangerous and I don’t trust him not to lose control and hurt you”, Diego said seriously, making Harlan glare at him. “I would not hurt him. Or anyone that didn’t deserve it”, Harlan said with a serious voice.

“Look I know Viktor cares about you and you helped us and all. But I don’t trust you or care about you, so if you ever hurt my kid.. you’ll wish you died drowning”, The room went cold at Diego’s threat. No one said anything for the next five minutes.

“I don’t think you understand, Diego. You have no power here”, Harlan’s eyes glowed up, making Diego grab Stan and slowly back away.

“GUYS STOP”, Viktor pushed them apart, Diego kept his eyes trained on Harlan the entire time.

“Diego… Knock it off. I told Stanley to wait in here. So I could get him a glass of water”, Diego looked at Viktor with cold eyes. “Viktor. You told my twelve year old to go wait in the same room as a murderer who has no control of their powers?”.

Viktor didn’t respond to Diego, just simply patted Stanley’s shoulder and went to see if Harlan was calming down.

“Come on, Stan. Let’s go, I don’t have time today to deal with this. Take your water and let’s go back to bed”, Diego said before dragging Stan and his water out of the room.

Diego and Stan walked in silence, as Stan took sips of his water.

“You have anger issues, you know”, Stan said obnoxiously, Diego only looked back with an annoyed expression.

“I do not have any anger issues, people are just annoying”, he answered before slowing down so he could catch up, “that’s your excuse?”.

Diego just slung his arm around Stan’s shoulders, “Go to bed you little brat”.

Chapter 3: Stanley headcannons

Summary:

Random head-cannons of Stan and Diego or everyone, mostly Diego and stan. Tell me if I should do more.

Notes:

Just random ideas that came from mind, Some might be chapters coming soon idk which ones lol.

•   when Stan and Diego watch tv they judge it and talk the whole entire time. Making any movie night a nightmare. 
• Klaus and Stan have uncle and nephew days where they randomly disappear for hours and get up to a bunch of chaos and appear later never talking about it.
•  Diego’s definitely a helicopter parent to an extent, like he will let Stan walk the streets and go off on his own. But as soon as Stan is on the internet he is right next to him the entire time.
• Diego adores Stan’s smile and hugs, even if he doesn’t show he’s a softie to kids especially his own. 
• Diego sometimes wonders what it would be like if Stan and Claire met, would they not hit off because of the age gap and their different personalities. That and what it would be like if Stan and Claire were the same age.
•  To go with that, Diego also wished he met Stan when he was little, because would he be able to make Stan have a normal happy childhood. 
• Diego would probably get jealous of Trudy, for being Stan’s actual parent. Blood relation and all.
• Stan’s favorite breakfast food is waffles, his glutton free ones of course. 
• The only person to be able to get past making fun of Diego is Stan. Since Diego allows him.
• once Stan got so mad at Diego that he slapped him… let’s just say Stan forget who Diego was for a minute and his ass hurt afterwards.
• the Two most important people in Diego’s life, aside from Lila. Is Klaus and Stan. If he could choose 3 people to live it would be them. 
• Klaus obviously tells Stan all the tea, everything he finds out goes to Stan’s ears. 
• Stan does the same, to the annoyance of Diego. 
• think of Stan like north west exposing her mom, Stan does that exactly. Diego just can’t sometimes. 
• Stan was born to expose Diego on anything, nothing is ever safe with that kid around. He’ll either randomly do it or he will be bribed. 
• either way Diego can’t have secrets Around Stan. 
• Example: “Dad said that you have a big head”, The random man didn’t look please. 
• Stan has no filter, he will always say something. So if you want an honest opinion just go to him. 
• Stan has an obsession with fire, it scares Diego because Stan will literally watch a fire in excitement as it’s scary. 
  
• “Do you know what I want for my birthday?”, Stan asked one time, “hm what would that he”, Diego asked not interested since he had like 2 dollars to his name right now. “I want a blow torch”, “No”.
• Diego cuts Stan’s hair now, he barley knows how to do his own tho so he usually just does the same one for Stan every time. 
• Diego gets sick after Roller coasters, but he goes on every single one Stan goes on because he’s not gonna let his kid go alone.
• Yes Stan robs places as he goes in, maybe not big stuff. But Diego makes him take it back and apologize for his actions every time.
• it happens so often the store people gave up on being mad or telling Diego it’s fine. 
• Diego screams in Spanish when he’s especially made at Stan, Stan only knows Half of what he’s saying. 
• Stan knows German perfectly because his mom loved traveling around and one of her “boyfriends” taught him.
• Lila is like his second mom and Diego is his only dad. But Stanley loves his mom, even if she didn’t regard his safety or needs at times.
• if you think Stan didn’t ever smoke when he was with Trudy your wrong. I have this feeling he did in the 80s XD. 
• Luther gets shitted on so bad by Stan and Diego, though Diego won’t let Stan go to far without stopping him. Stan still rips on Luther. 
• UA!Ben would be the best uncle ever, He probably would adore Claire and Stanley.  And whatever Lila and Diego got going on with their baby.
• Stan knows he messed up when he gets called his full  name. At the least the full name Diego gave him.
• Because Stan has two full names, his one from his mom Trudy and then Diego renamed him sort of. 
• Stanley “Stan” Al Hargreeves, since Diego adopted him in 2019.
• Stanley came from the 80s/early 90s so he definitely acts like it. I will go more in depth later on. 
• Stan and Allison don’t really get along well, mostly since they barley hang out, but still She didn’t seem interested in knowing him at all. So he didn’t get close to her either. 
• Five is surprisingly the best uncle, after Klaus that is, he and Stanley if left alone will be so chaotic almost more then Klaus himself, just imagine the most chaotic trio you can think of and that would be Klaus, Stan, and Five.
• Stanley uses Diego’s weakness about being called daddy or papa against him, especially if he want something. 
• 8/10 times it works. 

Chapter 4: Uncle Five pt.1

Summary:

Uncle Five and Stan bonding times, not my favorite but it’s only part 1 out of many. So it’ll do.

Notes:

Chapter for @JaliceCookie since they wanted a chapter of uncle five and Stan bonding times✨✨

 "Can you walk any faster, grandpa?", Stan asked rolling his eyes, because Uncle Five was literally walking as if he was walking with a walker.

   "Stanley, shut up. I'm going as fast as I can,  why do you want to go watch this movie so bad?", Five asked with his usual sass. Why did he get stuck with the most boring uncle besides Luther!

  "Because I heard everyone talking about it and I really want to see it. Plus it's in 3D, isn't that cool?", Stan asked turning around. "And Klaus could not come and Dad and Lila are at a doctors appointment and Luther is a no".

  "Viktor probably would have came if you asked", Five pointed out. "He would have loved to".

  "Yeah but he i wanted to, but I don't know where he is right now. So your the only one I can bring, I don't wanna go alone", Stan said making the best puppy eyes he could muster. 

Five looked at him blankly for a moment, before eventually caving by walking faster.

  "This movie better be worth the hype your giving it, because I could be sipping martinis by now", Five grumbled walking to the ticket Stand with Stan buzzing with excitement. 

  "Excuse me, young men. You need adult supervision to come watch this", the lady said when they tried to buy the tickets. Stan grumbled, while five seemed to get mad.

  "Ms...Dorothy, is it? Here's what you are going to do. You will allow us to watch this goddamn movie because my nephew wants to see it. And if you don't, so help me god I will destroy you, Dorothy. I will destroy your family too", Five said seriously. "You will HAVE NOTHING when I'm done. SO LET US PAY FOR THE TICKETS AND GO IN OR ELSE".

  Stan and Five munched on popcorn next to each other, watching the movie in 3D. 

  "You know your not as boring as I thought", Stan said, making Five smile. "I get that a lot, better enjoy your dumb movie".

  "Oh come on, you like the movie too. Admit it", Five shook his head and just ate some popcorn. "The movie is shit, but I like you so it's not as bad being here".

  "I knew you would like me, I'm very likable", Stan said obnoxiously making five laugh. Everyone in the movie theatre was crying at the sad part while two adultless teens were laughing away. 

 "I told you that movie was shit didn't I?", Five said once they exited the movie theatre. "Yeah you did, but you made it way worse saying everything before it happened because it was 'predicable'. I think everyone hates us now".

  "Oh Stanley, you're a Hargreeve, you'll be hated always because that's who we are", Stan laughed, okay maybe just maybe Five was his favorite.

  After uncle Klaus, no one can replace his fun uncle. But Uncle Five will be close second.

  "So.. what now?", Stan asked watching His uncle walk off towards the opposite direction of his house. 

  "Well I went with you to do your thing, now we do mine", Five said, Stan shrugged and followed.

 "So what are we doing?", Stan asked catching up, "you'll see soon", Five replied with an evil smile. Almost as scary as Lila's.

  "Can I try a martini wherever we go", Stan asked, Five glanced at him in thought. "Maybe", He replied. 

  Yup, Uncle five is pretty cool.

Chapter 5: Trudys Pov

Summary:

Trudy after Stan went missing in the 80s, I went to see him at least reunite with his mother. Aka why did you steal someone’s kid and get them killed, Lila.

Notes:

Another random story I wrote instead of living an actual life w ppl;)))) also currently holding a grudge about stan being gone still. Also Trudy is a milf and I really want to see more.

Trudy was already freaking out when she came home after a week to find Stan no where. 

 She assumed that he was just out somewhere exploring Berlin. After it became nightfall, Trudy was starting to worry. 

  Because her rule for him, the only one she had was to never be out after 9pm. Without someone she knew. 

  Especially in a place they just got to, unfamiliar places and people. 

  So the second day she called the police, she knew she risked everything doing this. Being allowed her son, but she needed him to be okay. 

  Needed to know where he is and if he's safe, even if it's not with her.

  "We can't seem to find any trace of your son, has he ever done this?", Trudy shook his head, because Stan's always stuck close to home... or has he? She leaves him for a week sometimes but usually the kid is back before she knows it. 

  "No... he can't even speak the language here.. we just got here from America. I-I left him for a week, but he's usually always here when I return", Trudy Knows she's a bad mom, she knows it.

  Stanley was her only child, the only person she's ever loved. She's a cold person, not getting attached to people or places.

 The one person she's always had is Stan, since he was a baby she's taken him everywhere. By the time he was three, Stan had been to at least 10 states. 

  She's taken him out of the country many times, he's been everywhere by 12. Maybe she's not a cookie baker mom, one that takes her kid to his soccer games or whatever. 

  But she does love her son, okay? She's not a perfect human or mother to say the least. But he's always been well fed and taken care of, she gives him plenty of money for things. 

  Food, clothes, comic books, and all the things a kid could need. Maybe not a house but a home with her. 

  So after a week, shes desperate for anything. Anyone to tell her where her baby went.

  She can't focus on anything, can't eat, can't even perform, she can't do anything.

 Two years fly by, he never shows. She stays in Berlin waiting for him. Even through the years she waits for him, if he's just playing around. 

 He's not. She's learns after 5 years, if he was alive then he would have shown up. 

  Trudy can't handle her son being gone, can't handle not having her baby. Not knowing what happened to him.

She realizes if Stanley is dead, then she would rather be with him rather then wait for any news. 

  The next time she woke up, She was in a garden. A little girl was riding a bike humming something.  

  "Where am I...?", She whispered looking around, she couldn't find anything useful to tell her what happened.

  The last thing she remembered, was..... she... died...

  So what is this... hell? Heaven? If it's hell shouldn't she be punished? If it's heaven then where is her kid?

 "Oh wow aren't you an interesting find?", She turned around to see a man with hair to his neck. "I'm Klaus".

She didn't respond for a moment, "I'm Trudy".

 "I knew it, You're Stan's mom?", Trudy's heart beat faster, how did he know her son? Is he here? 

  "Yes. Where is he?", The man grinned and grabbed her hand. "I'll show you to him", he told her. 

 "The little shit is around here somewhere", The man Klaus says, "YO STAN WHERE YOU AT", He yelled out.

  Stan walked out from the Building, that she swears wasn't there before. 

 "Uncle Klaus why are you back?..", Stan asks then turns to his mom, "...mom!!", He exclaimed going to hug her before he could she grabbed him and hugged him. 

 "What happened, S?", She asked hugging him tightly, relieved to finally see him once again.

  "It's a long story, ma. But basically Lila took me on a road trip and it didn't end so well to say the Least", Trudy wanted to be mad at Lila, but she couldn't when she finally saw him again. 

  "So your.. we are... dead?", she asked slowly, he nodded looking to Klaus.

 "Me and you are, he isn't", she looked confused at Klaus, "So... you are an Angel?".

  Both Klaus and Stan bursted out laughing.. Trudy was very confused. 

  But she would do anything to keep seeing Stans laugh and smile. She feels like she hasn't seen it in so long, she worried that if she kept living she would have forgotten his voice, his smile, even his face. 

  But for now... she would be happy being with him and his friend? Uncle? Klaus. 

  Maybe she will think about having a talk with Lila about taking other peoples kids one day.

  Did Lila eventually feel bad because if someone took her kid she would be in pieces too? Or did she not care at all? 

  You know... Trudy's got a lot of questions and no answers. 

  Still though Stan never said how he died.. did he get killed? Did he kill himself? Was it Lila's fault? Why did he know this man?

  All these questions she has, she can't find the words. Especially with him smiling at her..

  What if this All is a dream from drugs? If it is... she do don't want to wake up face the world. 

 She wouldn't be able to handle that... not after this feel so weird. 

  She hopes Stan doesn't know why she died.. don't ask her.. she doesn't want him to blame himself. 

 The worst part, she thinks. Is the fact he never lived to be an adult. He never even hit puberty yet. 

  He's forever 12, she knows it's her fault. She just wants to one day be forgiven. By herself, by Stan who she let down by not being a mother.

  She's happy to be forever with her kid, only two years since he was missing and life was impossible. Now the afterlife was feeling pretty good..

Notes:

Give me more suggestions pls. I need someeeee, like one thing could make me spark a story. If you can’t tell I abandon stories for months without help😭 xxxx

Chapter 6: School days

Summary:

Here’s a short chapter for you since I’m working on my other 10 chapters. Trying to get one done. This is a mini chapter I guess.

Notes:

I’m working on the ideas a lot of you gave me, including the sick fic, Stan learning more about Mexican culture that I’m researching to make sure it’s all good. I don’t remember the word but anyways. I was going to add Diego speaking Spanish, but my Spanish to broken to use for sentences lmao. You would think I would know more since my uncle only speaks Spanish. Anyways here ya go.

 Stanley stared out the window with a bored expression, middle school was just so time consuming for no reason.

  Like why must he sit here all day in detention just because he told a kid to shut the fuck up. Even though they were being rude to him. 

  He really hates going to school, he lives in another time now. Why does he have to go again in 2019?

 It’s most because Diego said that he needs to go and that if he didn’t CPS would be called. Then he’ll get taken away, which is the last thing Stan even wants.

  So here he is, yet again in middle school. Looking off into space as the teacher talks to them about responsibility and all that.

  He hears a tap on the window and looks over to see Klaus waving. What the hell is he doing here? A prison break?

  Stanley looks around making sure the teacher was busy before going towards the window. 

 “Come on Stan the man, don’t ya want to go have fun?”, Klaus offers, which would get both of them killed when Diego found out.

  “Diego WOULD kill me if he found out I left”, Stan says in a whisper making sure the teacher was busy yelling at a kid.

  “Good thing I made all the numbers and emails go to my phone too so I can delete them”,Stan grinned and jumped out the window, he could hear the teacher scream to coem back here. 

  But Klaus and him laughed all the way to the car, making sure no one was following them.

  “So where are we going?”, Stan asked once they got in the car. “Well I think we should get some food and figure it out from there”, Klaus said starting the car.

Stan and Klaus really had a fun time going out all day and not caring about the consequences later. But around the time school ended,Stan went back to the schools outside so Diego could “pick him up”.

  “You went to detention again?,” Diego asked when he saw the paper in Stan’s hands. Stan just shrugged.

  “You need to get along with the other kids, Kid. Trudy sent you to school before didnt she”, Stan nodded halfway listening to his question. “She did… but I only went enough to not get CPS called”.

  “Look, things are different now obviously. You’re 12 years old, you’re a kid you aren’t going to do anymore shit that you use to do. So that’s the first thing you should know”, Diego stated making Stan stop in the middle of the side walk.

  “You don’t think I know that?”, Stan said with a snarl, “Clearly things are different now. I won’t ever get to see my mom again or anything I knew before”.

  Diego looked back at him, “I didn’t mean like that… and that’s not true… I’m sure Trudy is still alive”.

  “That’s not what I meant and you know it! That’s not even my mom anymore, I looked it up and apparently we aren’t even related anymore”, Stan screamed making bystanders look at them. “You don’t even understand, you have your family, I have nothing anymore”.

  Before Diego could say anything stan walked past him towards their shitty place. 

  “Yeah I do”, Diego said grabbing his arm, “And you’re apart of my family. Like it or not. Look I’m sorry about your mom, but you aren’t alone here”.

  Diego hugged Stan before could say something, Stan eventually hugged him back.

Both ignoring the looks they are getting from people passing by, seemingly being in each other’s embrace being enough for them. 

 “Look we will figure this out, but I need you to help me here”,Stan looked away, “Stop doing dumb shit that could get you hurt”.

  “Fine. But I want to be paid to be going school”, Diego pulled away with a stern look, Stan looked back with his own look.

  “You can have an allowance or whatever if I see you approving”, Diego said slinging an arm around Stanley’s shoulder and walking back.

  “Oh.. also, I got an interesting call from your principle today”.

 Shit. 

Chapter 7: Sick fic

Summary:

How many Hargreeves does it take to take care of a sick kid? Hint: all of them.

Notes:

Still working on the other FanFictions. But one down, 10 in the folder ready to go. I give this chapter a 5.1/10. It’s okay could be better. But enjoy to whoever requested this. I couldn’t decide who should take care of him so everyone did;)

Stan Feels awful, his stomach hurt, his head pounded, and he felt like the whole world was spinning.

  'Damn'.. he thought. He must have caught something. Which really sucked because he hates being sick.

  Trudy was never there often, but if he was sick she would usually stay behind depending on how bad off he was. That was the only good part about being sick, his mom actually spent time with him.

Though now here he is, with his fake dad and uncles in the future.

  Could this get any worse? Actually scratch that knowing his luck it could.

Just his luck to get sick while everyone's out too. Everyone except Luther, who is most likely down stairs making more mix tapes with his horrible taste in music.

Klaus and Five were on another road trip, Stan guesses. Diego and Allison were out fighting? Or something. Viktor is out doing his own things.

So basically it's just Stan and Luther here, Luther who is apparently suppose to supervise him for Diego.

Yet he's downstairs, while Stan is up here sick and miserable.

'Oh someone please kill me now', Stan thought bitterly putting his head face down on his pillow.

"Holy shit you're on fire", Stan heard some exclaim, when did he fall asleep? He can't recall even sleeping.

Stan opened his eyes to see Luther like he just saw a ghost, which he isn't Klaus so that's very unlikely.

"Stanley!", Luther yelled out Again, making his headache spike. Why can't Luther just be quite for a minute? Is that really so hard.

"Hmm what?", Stan asked looking at Luther with a dead expression. "I think you're dying", Luther said seriously.

"I'm DYING?", Stan screamed making his own head and throat throb. But he couldn't help to scream, he thought he just had a cold?!

"Calm down, we just need to stay Calm why you die. Maybe call someone", Luther said shaking Stan's shoulders. "STAY CALM? IM FUCKING DYING APPARENTLY AND YOU WANT ME TO STAY CALM?!".

"Oh god what are we going to do?", Luther mumbled pulling at his own hair, we if he had any that long.

"There's so many things I never got to do", Stan sobbed, making Luther cry too. "I KNOW I KNOW", Luther cried hugging Stan.

"You're going to burn to death.. I GOT IT. Let's put you in an ice bath and maybe you will live", Stan nodded eagerly, even despite his body's protests, he got up and followed Luther.

"Let's make it an ice bath", Luther stated. "I need ice.. where do I get ice?", Luther asked as Stan got an idea.

"Downstairs they have a bunch I'm sure", Luther nodded and rushed out of the room without another word. They need to be quick if Stan wanted to live.

So Stan waited inside the bathtub, which had a bit of water in it. And waited until Luther got back with the ice.

Yet again, he is not sure when he dozed off. But someone was shaking his shoulder and patted his cheek to wake him up. It's becoming a habit at this point.

When he opens his eyes for the second time, Diego's worried expression.

"Why are you passed out in a half full bathtub with all your clothes on?", Diego asked looking on the verge of confusion and laughing.

"Because I'm dying", Diego looked even more concerned. "Apparently I'll be -poof- dead", Stan did a 'poof' motion with his hands.

"Dying? What are you talking about? Where's Luther?," Diego asked looking around, Stan just shrugged.

Stan hugged Diego's neck once he turned back to look at him, "I'm too Cute and young to die", Stan sobbed.

"Stanley,You aren't dying", Diego said attempting to loosen Stan's hold on his neck. Because It was getting way to tight.

Stan feels Diego rub his back as he cried, "you're burning up, are you sick?".

Stan did not answer him, choosing to keep his head buried in Diego's chest.

"I'll take that as a yes", Diego muttered as Stan felt Diego grunt as he picked him up. Which Stan was not expecting at All.

"Luther, where in the hell have you been? Stan's sick and you weren't..", Stanley heard Diego drawl off, he couldn't see what he paused at. Stan assumed it might have been all the ice Luther probably had.

"I got the ice, took a little while longer then I thought. But don't worry this will help Stan", Stan could feel Diego's glare at Luther without even looking.

"You dumb Ape he isn't dying he just has a cold or something", Stan did not who to believe, Luther seemed to know what he was talking about.

"DIEGO ARE YOU A DOCTOR? BECAUSE IM TELLING YOU HE'S OVER HEATING" Luther asks loudly making Stan wince with the screaming. Again.

"I don't know I've never been sick", Diego admitted with a growl. ".. He's not dying", Diego seemed to be trying to assure himself.

  Wait if neither of them were ever sick, then how did Diego know truly?

  "... put the ice in the tub. QUICKLY NOW LUTHER TIMES WASTING", Diego yelled out making Luther nod.

Stan had a bad feeling about this... these idiots were going to either kill him or save him.

  Stan's had plenty of better days, that didn't involve being in a cold bathtub with ice being poured on-top of him.

  And by pretty much strangers he's know a week or so at best.

    Great.. just a great way to bond with each other. Though it could have been done any other way, with many different things.

  "He's still burning up", Diego said worried, though Stan doesn't think he would actually be worried if he only knew...

  "Maybe we need more ice?", Luther asks unsure. "or turn on the cold water", Luther offers.

  "I'm cold...", Stan said while wiping his forehead. His head felt so hot while his body was shivering.

  "You don't feel cold on the outside", Diego points out nodding for Luther to turn on the cold bath water.

  "What's going on in here? Why are we watching Stan bathe in his clothes?", Klaus asks walking in, no one responds to him as Luther and Diego fought over something Stanley didn't catch.

  "You know a family who bathes together stays together", Stan Heard Klaus say as he sat inside the other end of the tub.

  Okay perfect time for Lila to come get him, now he is having a bath with his fake uncle... this did just get worse.

  "Klaus what the fuck", Diego curses at him, when he notices Klaus in the tub. “This isn’t a group bath, Stan has a fever and we are trying to make it go down or he’ll die”.

Klaus gasps, “Stan is this true?!”. Stan doesn’t know why Klaus is acting like Stan is his partner and was caught cheating or something.

“Klaus we do not have time for this”, Diego said as he grabbed Klaus’ arm. “Oh come on Diego, I can help out”, Stanley only rolled his eyes and leaned back.

“How so?? I don’t even know what to do anymore”, Luther said making Klaus smirk, “let’s ask Allison, she might know”.

“Bad idea, she’s in a mood”, Diego replied making Stan look over to where he was sitting next to the tub.

“Can I get out now if it’s not helping?”, Stan asked, Luther seemed to disagree but Diego helped him out of the tub.

“Diego, Where are you taking Stan I thought he was dying”, Klaus asked following Diego out. “Allison‘s has a kid.. she must know”, Diego replied.

Stan simply leaned into Diego as they walked towards Allison’s room.

“What do you want”, Allison asked tiredly when she answered the door.

“Nice to see you again. Anyways Something’s wrong with Stan, Luther thinks he’s going to die but I have no idea”, Stan could feel Allison’s cold Hand on his forehead, he would have slapped it off if he didn’t feel so horrible.

“He has a cold, he isn’t that hot. So just put a rag on his head and get some cold medicine and keep him hydrated and he will be fine”, Allison instructed. See one normal person in their family, just what Stan thought before they talked about him dying.

“So wait what kind of cold medicine? Is there a certain kind I’m suppose to get? Stan’s going to be okay, right?”, Diego stumbled across question after question, Making Stan realize this is the first time he had to deal with someone being sick and that someone being a kid.

“Diego, he’ll be fine. Calm down, just get medicine don’t think to hard. And let Stan rest”, Diego swallowed and nodded, helping Stan back to their room.

Before Diego could ask another question, Allison shut the door. He knew he should leave her alone now so he did.

“So what did she say”, Luther asked as soon as Diego walked back in. Klaus looking up from his spot on the bed.

“She said he will be fine and that he’s not dying and I need to get medicine for him. So luther get Stan some water to drink and Klaus uhh just so your thing”, Diego commanded his brother hoping it’ll be fine, he helped Stan to lay down on the couch.

“Look I’ll be right back, okay Stan?”, Diego stroked Stan’s hair before leaving, he wasn’t exactly sure what he was getting himself into at the store but it’ll be something he guesses.

On his way out, he sees Five and Viktor chilling at the bar together. Waving at him as soon as they saw him.

“Where are you headed off to so late?”, Diego really didn’t want to deal with his brothers, no offense Viktor who asked the questions.

Life is just biting him in the ass, he swears he left Stan for only a moment and everything goes to shit. He comes back after feeling badass with Allison to be a wet nurse to a 12 year old.

Then said 12 year old is sick and miserable now, and he should probably go get him some medicine to make him feel better.

“Stanley’s sick as hell upstairs and I have to go get some medicine”, Diego said simply,making Viktor and five look at each other.

“Is he okay?”, Five asks taking a sip of his drink, Diego doesn’t reply right away. “He will be”, Diego replies.

“Okay… we’ll come with you to help you”, Viktor offers as both Five and Diego look like they are about to complain.

“No complaints, Five and I will help out. Right Five?”, Viktor says nudging Five a bit. He just rolls his eyes. “Shit Fine I’ll come”, Viktor looks pleased.

Before Diego knows it, the three of them are at a 24/7 mini mark. While Diego Studies the medicine, to see which one Allison was talking about.

There was so many different medicines for colds. Diego was lost, so lost. He doesn’t know how to take care of a kid. Yet alone a sick one, who is probably feeling like shit right now while he searches for medicine.

It’s a horrible feeling he has in his chest, is it guilt that he can’t take care of his son? Or is it something else.

He has one job, which is to help raise his 12 year old. Who Lila did the rest of the raising and yet he’s still not enough.

He can’t be a good dad, he’s to much like his own to be any good of one.

“I asked the clerk up there, real ass. I also had to stop Five from stabbing him. But he did give us two of the best brands so”, Viktor said, Diego only caught the part about the best brands.

“Okay… so what’s the different between this two brands?”, Diego asked holding them up to look at them side by side. “Well not much of one, I guess. Depending on the better brand and all that jazz. I do know he should only take kids”.

“God.. alright let’s go.. where is Five?”, Diego asked looking around, not seeing Five in sight.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DO NOT SELL CIGARETTES TO MINORS?! IM OLDER THEN YOUR GRANDPA” , Five screamed, which is the last thing Diego felt like dealing with. At this point Five will be arrested for harassment at like 12 at night”.

“Excuse him”, Diego said in a tight voice grabbing Five and pushing him behind him. “He’s just cranky from staying up his bedtime”, Diego felt the kick to his leg but paid it no mind.

“Let’s hurry up and go-“, Diego was cut off by Viktor setting a whole basket of things down on the counter. “This stuff is a need. Plus Stan will like soup since he is sick”, Diego looked doubtful since he isn’t sure what soup is gluten Free.. are soups Gluten free?

“Can we please hurry, I would rather be at home drinking and passing out in a bed”, Five complained making everyone glare at him.

“Thank GOD your back!”, Klaus exclaimed hugging Diego tightly, making Diego push him off.

“Your Spawn threw up all over everything, Luther, me, the floor, the couch, his clothes, and everything possible”, Klaus cried, Diego was sort of glad that he didn’t stay around for that.

“Stan, here”, Diego said Waking the boy and completely ignoring Klaus’s complaint’s and Luther’s cries from the bathroom.

“Takes like shit”, Stan mumbled laying back down, Diego chuckled. “Yeah it’s pretty much shit, but at least it gets the job done”, Stan just made a humming noise.

“I wish I was like you”, Diego froze at Stan’s words, “never getting sick and all”.

“No. You don’t. It’s not as glamours as it looks, plus…”, Stan only side eyed him in confusion.

“Forget it and go to rest, little shit”, Diego said as he patted Stanley’s head.

“Fine, Goodnight”, Stan turned over and abruptly passed out.

Diego rolled his eyes and ushered all his siblings out of the room since all they were doing is being loud as hell.

Though Diego is very happy with his family he has, even Lila. Wherever she is at the moment.

‘See I got this parenting thing down’.

Chapter 8: Sharing rooms.

Summary:

Diego just wants some sleep, it’s like the one thing he wants. Also yes Diego wakes up like a mom. I wanted to write Stan just standing there like “I threw up”🧍🏻♀️But it didn’t fit into the story.

Notes:

I wrote this as one of my first few chapters I just didn’t finish it first. It was like July 9th or something until I finished writing it and taking out a random part that I thought might be a little to dark for this story. Anyways majority of my chapters on here are sleep fics bc I can’t sleep and i always write at 1,2, and 3am.

Diego was dragging the little shit who apparently was his som behind him as he walked towards the hotel room.

 

  It was like 2am maybe? And the brat war annoying Diego to no end. Claiming to be hungry, then when he was fed he was thirsty. 

 

  Any excuse not to be forced to go upstairs and sleep, which Diego knows it's what every kid does.

 

 But god, it's been like this since 12 and he doesn't feel like staying up all night doing this. 

 

 Stanley is already Hard to take care of and manage when he fully rested but a cranky tired Stanley along with Diego not sleeping?

 

 Not Happening, Diego will knock this kid out before that. 

 

 "Ease up, man", Stanley complained as he was dragged, Diego just sighed. Letting Stanley Go some, not enough to run off, because that kid can run. 

 

  "You are going to bed, now. But First you are taking a shower and brushing your teeth before they rot out", Diego ordered pushing Stan towards the bathroom. 

 

  "Do you have any clothes? To sleep in or Wear like a normal person?", Diego asked suddenly remembering Stan didn't have a bag when Lila dropped him off. 

 

  "Nope", Stan replied opening the bathroom cabinets to look around. "Ugh I'll give you one of my shirts and you can wear your own pants".

 

 "Stop going through shit and just take a shower. It's not that hard, and I refuse to bathe you too", Stan made a mock gag making Diego roll his eyes at the kids antics.

 

 "Can you move out of the way of the door,unless you want me to stay awake longer", Diego rolled his eyes and slammed the door shut. 

 

  "I expect you done in 20 and in bed straight after", Diego said beforelaying back on a chair With his eyes closed.

 

  He didn't noticed he dozed off until he woke up to the sounds of generic laughing. 

 

  Stanley was Passed out on the couch, thank god for that. The TV seemed to be playing some type of Late night show, he Must have turned it on and fell asleep. 

 

  Diego rubbed his eyes before checking the Time, it was around 4:30am. Which means He's been out for a few hours. 

 

  Also means Stan's been asleep for who knows how Long, that is a plus because Diego finally can just chill without looking out for a kid everywhere. 

 

  Diego had already rampaged through the hotel once because he went to go check on Stanley in the room he was Left in and the kid was gone.

 

  Diego had checked everywhere for hours and hours. Even some of his siblings looked around. 

 

 But After Hours and Diego tearing down a lot of things, he found Stanley Passed out on a Couch in a random ass room. 

 

  Diego let him sleep there for a while until he woke up and got an earful about not leaving and messing around. 

 

  Stan didn't even have a good reasoning for being there, which was the most annoying.

 

 So now they have to share a room, which was a small stuffy room with his three idiotic brothers. 

 

 Diego gave up his couch for the kid, and said kid barley sleeps. Like Diego has no idea where his energy comes from, it's like he is on a monster energy drink 24/7.

 

  Which is something Diego will kill someone over if they gave Stan anything to boost his energy even more. Diego would either be dead or the one doing the killer.

 

  Anyways, not the point. The point is that Stan's finally asleep. Now it's time for Diego to get some sleep, before the menace is awake.

 

  If he can even sleep with Luther's farts and snoring, like dude come on. They have to open a window every night, because it's so bad they will all pass out.

 

  The floors okay, it's not that bad to sleep on. He's slept on worse for sure, and at least he has a pillow and blanket to sleep with.

 

  Diego goes to shut off the Tv, he checks over Stan, covering him with a blanket and making sure he didn't die in his sleep or something dumb. 

 

"Psst-",Diego feels someone poke his cheek as they tried to wake him. Diego opens his eyes aggressively, he wakes up with a gasp as if he was fighting demon (you know how moms always wake up). 

 

  "Chill dude", Stan said as he kept poking Diego's cheek, Diego grabbed Stan's hand not hard enough to hurt him but Firm enough to make him stop.

 

 "What time is it?", Diego asks looking around as if somehow the room would tell time. "I don't know, but I don't want to go to the bathroom alone", Stan replied.

 

  "The bathroom is over there", Diego said pointing to the bathroom door. "No shit", Diego mumbles a 'watch your language, "But someone's in it".

 

 "Fine, I'll walk with you to the bathroom which I don't know why you don't go alone", Diego complained already getting up to follow Stan. "Because what if someone kidnaps me?", Stan asked outraged. Diego just shushed him earning a kick to the leg. 

 

 On the way to the bathroom, Diego noticed even his half asleep State that Stan was gaining more energy as he woke up more.

 

 Which again, the last thing Diego needs. He never gets any sleep these days, it’s like no one wants him too.

 

  It was like 20 minutes before Stan finally came out, Diego doesn’t even care what he was doing but he could have at least tried to go faster.

 

 “You’re going back to sleep, I hope you know that”, Diego said pulling Stan along, he was way to tired for this right now.

 

  “No I thought we were going to party all night”, Stan said sarcastically making Diego hit him in the back of the head. 

 

 “Ow must you physically assault me at this hour?”, Stan asked making Diego fight the urge to drop kick the kid. He was trying to not be so angry all the time and scaring Stan.. but goddamn that kid always has a way to make him pissed.

 

  Once Diego got back to the room, he was ready to pass out. The floor looked very comfortable at this point.

 

 “Ah Guten Morgen”, Klaus greeted, Diego did. even notice the sun was out. It had to be at least 7am, which means Diego can still sleep some.

 

  “Shut up, Klaus”, Diego hissed as he laid back down, “Stan lay down and sleep, I don’t want to be bothered until 10”.

 

  “Not to worry, Bruder. I’ll watch your spawn while you sleep”, Klaus offered making Diego look at him skeptical. 

 

  “Klaus, the last time I left you two alone you died”, Klaus just shook his head as if it was some kind of joke. “That’s in the past, plus”, He said as he pulled Stanley closer, “Stan is reformed now. We promise no killing”.

 

 “First of all that was a day ago you were dead, secondly, I don’t think either of you have changed. But fine whatever, if I wake up to murder I’m going to commit my own murder”, Diego threatened as he laid on the couch instead, if Stan wasn’t going to sleep there then Diego would have a nice back to wake up too.

 

  “All of you shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ, someone of us are trying to sleep”, Five practically screamed startling Luther who jumped up.

 

  Once the annoying duo left, Diego finally closed his eyes. So he could finally drift off into some much needed rest.

 

 Until he smelled something ratchet, “Luther.. I’m going to kill you”.

 

  Let him have an hour of sleep, at least. Without anyone annoying him. Please…. 

Notes:

Suggest one mini chapters, by mini chapters I mean below 1000 words. I still am writing the other chapters but it’ll be a day or two before I finish them up for you. Also I guess I am posting daily no promises but it seems that way lol.

Chapter 9: Bloody noses+Diego being a tired dad

Summary:

Set after the last chapter but can be read alone too. Send Diego some help, maybe even super nanny.

TW: Blood mentions?

Notes:

Wrote this chapter random without any plan to make it about bloody noses. Klaus and Stan being a crack head duo too.

The blood was everywhere, all over the place and Diego would be lying to say he did not have a heart attack.

Because Klaus was trying to help Stanley’s bloody nose, which Diego didn’t know someone’s nose could bleed that much.

“I literally was asleep for a total of two hours, how the hell did this happen”, Diego asked making Klaus and Stan look at each other seemingly trying to come up with an excuse.

“I was running and I slipped”, Stan said automatically, making Diego’s eyes become slits. “Oh? How did you slip and hit your nose enough to make a bloody mess”, Diego asked.

“It’s a long story”, Diego just sighed at them, these idiots really couldn’t be left alone can they?

“Here..let me help you”, Diego mumbled taking a cloth and taking over Klaus’s place. “Jeez your nose is never going to stop bleeding, is it”.

Stanley simply shrugged letting Diego clean up his mess, again. Stan should be glad that his dad is amazing, Diego thinks to himself.

“This looks like a murder scene”, Klaus comments looking around seeing the blood all over the floor and Stan.

“I wonder why.. Come on Stan, let’s get you cleaned up while Klaus cleans”, Diego said as he helped Stan stand up.

“Wait whatttt”, Klaus whined making Diego slap across the head. As he does to Stan very often. “Your the one who insisted everything would be fine if I left you two alone, now clean up the mess you made”.

“It’s not just my fault, it’s his to. He’s the master mind here”, Diego gave him a blank look, “You’re blaming a 12 year old while you a fully grown adult. Who might I add, who was suppose to be in charge”.

Klaus just sighed dramatically before looking around, “how am I suppose to clean all this up?”.

“It’s just a little blood, now I have to go take care of Stan and once that’s done he’ll help you”, Stan looked like he was about to complain but Diego just dragged him off.

“Where did you fall from again, Hijo”, Diego asked as he leaned Stan’s head back. “The ground”, Stan answered indifferent in answering anymore things about this.

“I think you are full of shit, tell me what you two were doing or else you’re grounded”, Diego threatened as Stan just mocked him silently.

“Fine, but don’t get pissed off. But.. he was giving me a piggy back ride and tripped while running”, Diego just stared at him for a moment. “What?”, he asked dumbfounded.

“Did you not hear what I said or are you dumb”, Stan quickly shut up after the look Diego gave him.

“You two are the most irresponsible people I’ve met”, Diego stated, “I’m only 12 though”, Stan replied.

“If you use that then you definitely should know better”, Diego said rubbing his eyes with the hand not currently holding Stan’s head back.

Stan did not say anything in retaliation, simply leaning his head back. Waiting for the bleeding to stop.

“After this you need to take a shower, just cleanse yourself”, Diego told Stan, who made a face at the comment. “You do. Look at your face it has blood All over it. So does your hands and your clothes”.

Stan mumbled something under his breath and then pouted. Diego just smirked a little and pocked Stan’s cheek, “You’ve been around your uncles to much”.

“No, I’ve been around you to much”, Diego frowned, “I don’t pout”, he said incredulously. Stan gave his own smirk, “Yeah no, you mope which is way worse by the way”.

Diego gave Stans nose a little squeeze, making Stan squeak.

Neither said anything about it, Stan didn’t say anything because he was embarrassed and Diego.. couldn’t stop laughing.

Stan groaned with pink tinted cheeks, “shut up, ass”. Diego just laughed anyways, laughing to hard to tell him to watch his language.

God did Diego love this kid, even with his flaws. The kid was hilarious without even trying too.

“Come on, let’s go help Klaus clean up blood. You should know how to do this by now”, Diego said as soon as Stan’s nose stopped bleeding.

Once Stan stood up he went crashing down, if Diego didn’t catch him then he might have gotten another bloody nose or concussion.

“You must be lightheaded from the loss of blood”, Diego said as he laid Stanley down, Stan just glaring up at him. “Ya think?”, Stan gave as much attitude as he could.

As per usual though, Stanley could be bleeding out and dying and he probably would still talk shit.

“Shut up, you little punk. I’m going to go check on Klaus then I’ll be back, just rest for now”, Diego said before walking off, “Oh and”, Stan looked over at him.

“Stop doing dumb shit, could’ve been a lot worse then a bloody nose”, Diego didn’t hear a response from Stanley so he left him be.

After all, now he had to give Klaus an earful about being more responsible. Damn he really was turning into a father wasn’t he?

“Why the hell did you endanger my kid by giving him a piggy back ride drunk?”, Diego asked as soon as he saw Klaus, ready to beat someone sense into Klaus.

“I wasn’t drunk, I just didn’t see the floor was in leveled and also in my defense Stan also wanted me to piggy back ride him”,Diego would like his hard liquor now, how many children is he parenting at the moment?

Before screaming at everyone Diego just inhaled slightly, “Klaus, think harder before you do reckless shit. Most importantly reckless shit with Stan”.

Klaus saluted to Diego, “aye aye captain”. That earned Klaus a slap, which did not faze him.

“I was going to help you, but you deserve to do this alone”, Diego said walking back the way he came.

“Wait where are you going, Di? Diego don’t leave meeeee. I’m sorrryyy”, Klaus blurted out as Diego just shook his head.

“I got to deal with one kid already, I don’t need another”, Klaus just pouted jogging after him. “But you love me so much that you will put up with me”, Klaus cooed.

“If you weren’t my brother, I would have killed you years ago”, Diego said darkly, Klaus just gave him a goofy grin. “Aw i knew you card for me. Deep, deep, deeeeeep down”.

Diego doesn’t know who he fucked over to get in this, but if you are reading this. He is very, very sorry.

“We All should go get waffles, Stan can have waffles cant he?”, Klaus asked, “Wait you are high?”, Diego realized.

“Yeah you asked if I was drunk not high”, Diego did the very mature thing and tripped Klaus as they walked.

“DICK”, Klaus shirked as he got up, Diego sniggered as he walked.

Notes:

Yes, Klaus gave Stan a piggy back ride high and fell making Stan get a bloody nose and yes he does feel bad about it too. I just didn’t write that because like it’s Diego’s pov mostly so

Chapter 10: Juice boxes + animal crackers

Summary:

Mini chapter- Why Diego has juice boxes in his car.

Notes:

Mini chapters are very short but sweet. Also it’s based off my tumblr post, https://layingwithlay.tumblr.com/post/690173290546954240/klaus-hey-got-any-drinks-diego-yeah-old-up that’s why I wrote the entire chapter here XD

  “I’m feeling famished, got any drinks Di?”, Klaus asked fanning himself dramatically. Making Diego roll his eyes.

  “I have juice boxes back there”, Diego stated making Luther giving him an incredulous look. Klaus just Hummed looking around.

  “Oooo Apple, my fav”, Klaus Said attempting to put the straw back into the box.   “what are we kids? Why do you have juice boxes? “, Luther asked making Diego simply roll his eyes. “Well I guess you aren’t getting animal crackers with that attitude”, Diego said making Klaus snort.

Seeing that Luther was looking at him like he was crazy, Diego just sighed. “Look I have a 12 year old and a baby on the way. Of course i have juice boxes and animal crackers”.

  “Wow…”, Klaus clapped, “You are such a dad now”.

  “Agreed, you act way different. You’re more gushy then before”, Luther stated, Diego just huffed. 

  “I act the same, I just have more… kid things happening around me”, by kids things Diego meant the movie nights, school related things, packing lunches, playing video games, bedtimes, shopping for a new baby. While also dealing with work.

  So excuse Diego for always being prepared and keeping snacks with him at all times. 

  “Just eat some animal crackers and drink your juice”, Diego ordered eating a few crackers himself.

 

 

  

Chapter 11: School supplies + picket fence dream

Summary:

Diego and Stan goes back to school shopping together.

 "Come on, Stan. Just look at the supply middle school list. For what 6th grade?", Diego asks looking around the aisle, clearly not use to coming down these aisles and doing this kind of thing.

  "7th", Stan corrected, "and I am trying to look on the list but it's a bunch of bullshit I won't use".

  "Hey language, also better to be over prepared then under", Diego mumbled snatching the list away from him.

  "So pencils, easy enough", Stan just walked around in circles as Diego did most of the shopping. He was never into shopping in general unless it was actually useful stuff.

 What in the hell was he going to do with 8 folders? Not shit. He has no plans on actually using any of this. 

  He will go, per the laws. But he won't enjoy it, or try to do anything including making friends.

 They can make him go, but they can't make him do anything.

 "Okay so now... we need reusable baggies? Why not ziplocks?",  Diego looked around in frustration. Why did the list have to be so confusing? 8 folders all plain colors, red, blue, purple, orange, pink, green, yellow and Indigo.

Maybe Diego wanted to buy the Spider-Man ones, this is ridiculous. So much cool things Stan could have, but it's not on the list.

Diego is definitely not getting things he wants himself for Stan. Such as the game station and many games. 

  But besides the point, Diego has no idea what he is doing. Shopping for baby things and now things for his other kid to go back to school. It's not cheap or easy. 

  Plus considering a lot of his money goes into bills, for everyone at the house that all the siblings including Ben live at. Minus Allison she's still off in her own world.

 Diego whistled for Stan to follow him, making sure he was right behind him.

  "This is boring. I'm bored, do I have to be here to do this?", Stan complained as the walked, again. Diego just rolled his eyes, "Yes, because this shit is for your education".

  “Not by choice”, Stan grumbled holding onto the cart. “It’s only 7 hours a day while Your mom and I work. Plus you get social interaction with kids your age, you get uh, learning experience and CPS won’t be lurking around”.

  “That’s dumb, i should be able to choose what I want to do with my life”, Stan complained even louder making people walking by look over. “Good thing you aren’t, especially right now”, Diego responded and booped his nose, laughing at the expression Stan gave him.

  “Now I think we are done, with the supplies. Well mostly because I don’t feel like doing more then this”, Stan shrugged, happy that he no longer has to walk around the boring store.

 “I need pepper spray”, Stan says before they check out, Diego sent him a bewildered look. “What if I get attacked or something. I need protection unless you think I should take a knife”.

  “I’m already teaching you boxing, which you’re very good at thanks to me”, Diego replied setting the supplies onto the counter. 

  “But what if he’s both bigger and I can’t fight so I need pepper spray”, Stan responded, Diego just paused. 

  “Okay, look me in the eyes and tell you wouldn’t spray someone ass bullying you”, Stan did not look into his eyes, Diego just smirked and ruffled his short hair before going to pay.

  “Exactly what I thought”, Stan just grumbled at him as he watched Diego pull out cash to pay. 

“let’s go you little tyrant. We have to pick up dinner”, Diego said finally being done with this trip. “Before we go put back everything you stole while I wasn’t looking. Or else I’ll make you work back the money”.

 Diego loved his new life, sure it’s bumpy at times. But in the end, he feels like his life just started. Getting a job, being with the love of his life, having his two kiddos who will eventually be together, working with his soon to be fiancé if his plan goes well to move out.

 Allison might have screwed them over a lot pressing the button. But he’s grateful for that, he has his little family together.

  He’s so busy, he has no time to even notice his powers being gone. Which Diego didn’t have an issue with at all, he can have that normal family he craved for as a kid.

A wife, two kids and a picket fence house was his dream. Well not everything goes according to plan, obviously. He does have his love, two kids and soon to be apartment.

 That’s good enough for him. 

Notes:

Technically this was suppose to be it’s own series spin off but I wanted to ask all of you. Should I make some spin off series about Stan’s school life or keep it in this one? Also I was reading @lefthandofsnarkiness’s FanFiction “you’ve got more troubles than minutes in the year” and their newest chapter inspired this need to write Lila, Diego and Stanley being a family. Like even more focused then this one.

Chapter 12: Reasons my kid had a tantrum with Diego pt.1

Summary:

You know those tik toks? Yeah I made one for Diego and Stan. Bold is sort of like Diego’s thoughts? In a way. Though most of it is his thoughts or just events. Stanley’s a cute emo kid🖤

  Stan really doesn’t have tantrums like crying and things 3 year old would do. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a form of tantrums.which include: lashing out, screaming, pouting, refusing to cooperate, ignoring, kicking people and much more. Here’s the reasons he threw a tantrum today: 

1. Diego wouldn’t let him have his own knife set, even though he’s practiced before. So he ignored him about anything and did the exact opposite of what Diego asked in a rebellious way. Like somehow practicing one time makes him a pro, even when Diego didn’t start carrying knives around until years of practice. 
2. He had to go to school, just in general. He threw a huge fit about it on the way there. Which including yelling as if he was being kidnapped, refusing to move so that Diego had to carry him all the way to school and of course Diego’s favorite, throwing his ear medicine into a thorn bush. which somehow the law that’s been here for years and years became Diego’s fault that he has to go to school. Which also included everyone looking at Diego with glares when the much lighter kid started screaming like he was being kidnapped. Thanks Stan, now everyone thinks you’re kidnapped. Which you kind of are in a way? Then the ear medicine being the icing on the cake, by the time he got Stan to school and back he had a bleeding hand. Which made him some how look even worse in the teachers eyes. Great day 10/10.
3. Stan wasn’t aloud out of the house past 7pm. Diego has no idea what Stan does when he sneaks out, usually Diego let’s him roam a bit around the neighborhood. Not to far where he doesn’t know where he is. But a little more freedom since Diego knows Stan can survive on his own, not that he should know. But he does. So when Diego made the rule not to leave the house everyone was in, Stan got pissed off and refused to talk to him all night and didn’t listen when he asked him questions. Which Diego let be because he does not want any arguments at this hour. Again Stan makes Diego the bad guy by setting boundaries. Leaving the house in the middle of the night, seems like a very good boundary to set. So now they aren’t on speaking terms, which Diego knows the kid bounces back easily in a day or so.
4. Diego said yes to a birthday invitation from Allison for Claire’s party. Diego just wanted Stan to meet his cousin for the first time. Which apparently Claire is 8, which Diego remembers her being like 5? But it’s whatever now. So they are just 4 years apart now or was it three. Diego doesn’t remember exactly how old she is. But now Stan is completely ignoring everyone at the party, though he was polite enough to talk to Claire and wish her a happy birthday. So apparently Diego is yet again a bad guy for taking him to his cousins party. Just because it’s a princess party doesn’t mean Stan has to act miserable. Though Apparently Stan’s in that stage in life where he is a emo edge lord. Great for everyone. 
   
5. here Diego is again, Stan and him yelling at each other because Diego made Stan go back a Friend or he can’t go to the arcade. Which was a lot more difficult, since Diego saw kids go up to Stan to talk and be friends with but Stan never looked interested. Hoping that he could at least talk to someone which backfired, because now Stan was once again blocking out Diego from his mind refusing to acknowledge him. Which Diego isn’t sure what that’s suppose to do. Sorry for trying to make you know how to socially interact with people you goblin. 

Notes:

Enjoy another mini chapter I wrote out of boredom. Yes I am making Claire and Stan meet in another chapter, also yes I am working on a chapter of Stan and his new sibling.

Chapter 13: Nightmares

Summary:

Stan’s nightmares and getting comforted (sort of) by the unexpected. Then by the more expected.

Stan woke up in cold sweat, he looked around the room to make sure no one was awake.

  Once he was sure everyone was asleep in their respected beds, Klaus on the top bunk, Five on the bottom, Luther on the other bed and Diego on the floor next to Stan.

  Stan got up quietly from the couch, being carefully not to step on Diego. Since he decided to sleep so close to the couch that Stan had to jump to avoid him.

He need some fresh air, away from everyone in here. The room was so crowded even with everyone asleep.

Stepping out in the hallway, quietly not to alert anyone that he left the room.

Five was a light sleeper, everyone else was pretty deep in their sleep. So that’s how Stan was trying not to wake up.

The door was closed almost silently. Stan sighed and rubbed his eyes as he walked through the hallway.

Stan doesn’t know how long he’s going to be here, but his nightmares and fear of being killed to its getting worse. He knows Diego wouldn’t let him just be killed, but that man came out of no where and Diego doesn’t seem to like him.

Wandering around the halls, waiting till he felt tired was exhausting him. But at the same time he just could not sleep right now.

An hour later, Stan found himself downstairs. Looking around the dark hallways, looking for nothing in particular.

“What are you doing awake at this time?”, Stan jumped at the sound of the voice, especially in the dark? Hell no.

He turned around to see his Aunt Allison, who he definitely wasn’t afraid of. Nope, not at all.

“Uh I could ask you the same question”, He answered, hoping the sarcasm hid his fear.

She wasn’t impressed at his sarcasm, neither said anything for a few moments. Stan waited for her to break eye contact, it took a few minutes before she did.

“Does Diego know you’re not there?”, Stan didn’t respond, since it really wasn’t her business.

“I was just going back actually”, Stan said trying to walk off, He felt his arm get grabbed.

“You can come sit with me if you want”, she offered, Stan didn’t know If it was a good idea. But he had nothing better to do, so he nodded and walked with her to one of the empty tables.

The whole place was empty, the few people here were all upstairs sleeping at this hour.

So it was just Stan and his aunt, with no one else around. So anything could happen, not that he thinks she’s going to kill him and hide the body.

But you can never be to careful these days, everyone could possibly murder you.

“You never answered why you are awake”, Allison said pouring some water, that Stan doesn’t even know where it came from.

“You answer first”, he responded taking the water she handed him, she looked a little amused. More then she did earlier.

“I just couldn’t sleep with my nightmares”, She responded, Stan looked at her slightly interested. What would someone like her with her powers have nightmares about?

“Now you”, she said catching Stan’s attention, he really didn’t want her to tell Diego on him. Because he really didn’t want to be seen as more weaker then he already is.

“Nightmares too”, Stan said, Allison hummed. “Do you want to talk about it?”, she asked,he shook his head. He doesn’t like people he doesn’t know to know anything about him.

The only person he would talk to about any nightmares was his real mother. Who he was really missing, which he isn’t a baby. She’s left him for a week or so before. But this time he sort of left her, usually he would be home waiting. The usual.

But now Lila is awol and he’s stuck with some super powered nut cases.

“Hey, you okay? You were zoning out for a while”, Stan finally looked back at her, she seemed.. slightly worried?

“Yeah. I’m good just in my thoughts”, Stan said trailing off, he could see Allison’s frown. “Maybe you should go back to bed.. it’s not exactly safe for you to be wandering the halls with strangers around”.

Stan did not point out the fact Diego and the rest were all strangers. Or the fact technically Lila was a stranger, that he only knew her for a few months.

“Right yeah.. I’m going back now.. goodnight?”, he didn’t mean for the last part to sound like a question. But it’s whatever now, he wasn’t going to correct himself now. Save face.

He walked down the dark Halls, which seemed a lot more darker now. Why did majority of the lights go out?

Stan really didn’t want to walk all the way down the extremely dark halls to get to the room. He was afraid of the dark per say, just the things lurking in it.

So looking around for the nearest place to sleep, he’s slept in the weirdest places before. So when he saw a chair he didn’t think that much about it.

Was it a good idea to pass out in a random open room? No probably not. But still better then walking down that hallway.

He didn’t even realize he passed out until he felt someone lift him up, he was way to tired to comment on it. Plus it would be kind of embarrassing to.

He heard someone whisper to him in Spanish, so he figured it had to be Diego. Which he doesn’t know why Diego is carrying him but it’s to late to ask now.

Allison better not have told him about his nightmares, because that he really doesn’t want to talk to Diego about them. Which Diego will make him talk, then give half ass advice to him. Acting fatherly. Which is pretty much bullshit and Stan knows it.

Stan finally feels himself be set down, he’s relieved because he hates feeling helpless. Which is exactly what he felt like being held like an infant.

“I’m telling you, invest in a baby leash”, Stan heard someone say, which Stan was offended about but he couldn’t exactly show it either.

“How do you lose a kid while sleeping next to it”, Stan knew that sassy voice belonged to Five. No one else used that tone except Him and Stan.

“Both of you shut up”, Diego said, Stan felt someone toss a blanket over him. Assuming it was Diego.

Stan didn’t ‘wake up’ until he was sure everyone left the room. Mostly because he was once again embarrassed to wake up with people there. He hates crowds, he’s better off on his own.

Stan didn’t get that much of alone time, as Diego walked back in a minute later.

Diego seemed ready to lecture Stan once again, but he decided not to for some reason.

Instead he sat down next to Stan in silence, “Allison said that you were having nightmares”. Stan knew he shouldn’t have told Allison, he knew she would have told.

Stan didn’t know how to respond to Diego, he really didnt want to talk about this.

“You know… you can talk to me about them, right? I mean I know you don’t know me and I don’t know you.. but you can at least tell me if something it wrong”, Stan feels like it’s guanine. He does, but at the same time he doesn’t know if Diegos just trying to make himself feel better or Stan. That he’s trying so hard to be opposite of his own dad, as he has an obsession with.

That he is offering Stan false promises just to feel like he’s different. It’s sort of twisted in a way, Stan thinks.

“Right”, Stan responded, not giving away to much. Refusing to actually make eye contact with Him.

“I’m not going force you to talk if you don’t want too”, Diego adds, “I just want you to know it’s an option. But at least tell me this”.

“Was it what happened to those to sparrows”, Diego asks, Stan knew his silence only gave Diego the answer he was looking for. But he had nothing to add too.

“I’m sorry.. that you had to see that. That’s why I told you to stay away, I didn’t want something like that to happen.. I know it messes kids up”, Diego said looking off. “I’ve seen and done my share of things.. that still haunt me and give me nightmares. It’s notmal”.

Before Diego could continue his rants, Stan hugged him tightly. Without missing a beat, Diego held Stan too.

They stayed like that for a little while, Diego doing comforting motions on Stan’s back. It was nice.. Stan felt a little better knowing that he wasn’t alone with the nightmares.

Stan knew that he didn’t belong here, even if he really wanted too. But at least he knew for sure Lila’s baby would be fine here.

“Okay..i have to pee now”, Stan announced in a way to break off the hug without being awkward. Diego eventually let go and ruffled his hair before walking off.

“Come downstairs where you’re done. Meet me in the lobby”, Diego said before closing the door.

Stan knew that would come, he would be punished eventually for torching up the place. Damn.. is it to late to run off again?

Also how the hell did Diego know he was there in the first place? He guesses if he wants to hide he’ll have to do it better.

Though he wasn’t exactly hiding, he just didn’t like the dark. Something he will NOT allow Diego or anyone to know. He’s 12 for fucks sake, he doesn’t need that bad rep on his name.

He put a mental note to find hiding places, to get out punishes and times he might need them. He’s small enough to hide in a lot of places efficiently.

He wasn’t a pussy, he just knew that he had no chance against floating cubes and tentacle guy.

He’s reckless but that doesn’t always mean being an idiot. He just likes living on edge.

Though living on edge can only get him so far, he’s trying to live until he can go back home. He has his own life calling his name, might be shitty but it’s his.

Hopefully these nightmares stop, that he will own day forget the melted faces that seemed to also melt into his head.

That old guy still freaks Stan out with his powers, so thats someone he plans to stay 50 yards apart at all times.

He might look like he belongs in a home, but he certainly is powerful. Maybe even more so then uncle Viktor. Which is a huge problem on multiple fronts.

Stan finished up his business before walking towards the front lobby. Bumping into Allison who simply nodded a greeting before walking.

“Thanks for ratting me out”, he calls after, with usual amount of sass, she simply grins. “You’re Welcomeee”, she says before walking off.

Tsst- these Hargreeves people have no manners at all. Couldn’t even stop to argue or be sarcastic, at least smack Stan before walking off. It’s only right.

He eventually caught up to where Diego was standing, looking up at the damage.

Damn..He doesn’t exactly have any money. He has nothing worse selling either. Unless you count kidneys, he has both of his. So he could probably get enough to pay off.

Or he could run now, hoping Diego was to old to run that fast to catch him.

Either works for him, though none works out as Diego calls him over.

“See”,Diego gestures to the damage, “this could have been avoided if you only listend”.

“I mean, technically if I didn’t do that you would be killed. So you could think me”, Stan argued but shut up as soon as Diego glared.

“No, you’re lucky that you aren’t dead to. If I didn’t throw you then you would have been toast”, Diego argued back. “Or you would have been toast long before that”, Stan said.

He felt satisfied at the look Diego was giving him, though that didn’t last long as he saw Klaus walking towards them.

So now he has to clean the whole building like he some how destroyed more then that old guy. Why didn’t he have to clean it up too?

Is Diego afraid to tell that guy what to do? What a lame ass. Going after a kid cause his to afraid of that guy.

Though Stan can’t exactly blame Diego either, he would also stay away from him too.

Notes:

Not my favorite, I wanted to make it better but then I just gave up and wrote until I felt like it. I wanted to make it Five that comforted him. Should i make another version with Five comforting Stan or better yet Stan comforting Five after a nightmare. Anyways here’s the updated to the story for July 21, even though it’s literally 10:30pm on the 20th. Whatever Lmao. Also working on many more stories but I’m happy to still take requests as always. Also I have my other story with just Lila, Diego and Stan I am taking requests for on my other Fanfic. Check it out, it’s fluffy as hell. More chapters coming soon too! Daily updates for now!

Chapter 14: Google: Can 4 year olds play with knives?

Summary:

Instead of a 12 year old boy, Diego was given a 4 year old toddler with an attitude that was taller then himself. What the hell is Diego suppose to do with this?

Notes:

Spent 20 minutes trying to decide if I wanted to make this a separate fanfic but made the last minute decision to make it a chapter here and post my other chapter to the other story 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ This is probably eventually going to be a series in this book.

   "Holy shit you came back", Diego commented in awe looking at Lila, who just sighed.

 

 "Just doing a little drop off", before Diego could ask what she was dropping off, she moved over.

 

  Diego was speechless as a little boy stepped out. Maybe 4 or 5? Give or take. He was small that's all Diego knew. He could have been taller then Lila's hip.

 

  "Your son. Diego meet Stanley", She said, making Diego do a double take on the kid. "Say hello Stanley".

 

  Lila grabbed her suit case, and started to walk off. Before she could Diego grabbed her arm, making her pause. 

 

  "This is a joke right", he whispered as the kid simply watched them. "That your boys could swim fast? Yeah jokes on me there", she responded.

 

 "Look I've had Stan for 4 years, it's time for you to do your part", she said grabbing Diego's face, before entering the elevator.

 

 "Be good for mommy", Lila said before she left. 

 

  Diego looked over at Stan who stared back, "got any food?", Stan asked making Diego blink.

 

  What the hell was he suppose to do with a four year old? The kid was like 3 feet tall 10 pounds, this is ridiculous. How's he Diego Hargreeves, suppose to raise a toddler?

 

 

 

 Diego had no idea what to do with the kid, who was currently stuffing his face. He really, really needs Lila to come back. Like now.

 

  Klaus was to busy laughing, at the mere thought of Diego being a dad. 

 

  "That little delinquent is yours?", Klaus giggled making Diego glared at him. It didn't affect him one bit, making Diego glare even harder.

 

  "Whose the mother", Five asked walking over, looking at the kid strangely. "Lila", Diego supplied him with.

 

  "I don't really care for that one", Klaus admitted, Making Diego glare harder. "Shut up", he said.

 

 "Well technically she is family", Five said taking a sip of his drink. Diego just sighed feeling like the 100th Time that hour alone.

 

 Could things get any worse, because he swears he was talking to his brothers, including Viktor now, and Stan was gone. 

 

 Where the hell could a four year old go off to so fast? This is going to be a problem, Diego could feel it.

 

 Before Diego could look around more, he looked over to see Chet talking or more lecturing Stan. 

 

  Who was back talking him to tell, Chet grabbed his arm and pulled him off. Diego quickly intervened.

 

 Before anyone could happen, "hey what happened?", Diego asked getting Chet's hand off of Stan's arm. Chet gave Diego a glare before talking, "Your son stuffed three mini muffins down his pants".

 

  Diego shot Stan an intrigued look as Stan spoke up, "its a buffet, I'll take whatever the hell I want". Diego quickly grabbed Stan's arm dragging off, telling the man that he got him. Stan did not look interested in talking to Diego, only sending him a glare when Diego explained he needed to stop doing dumb things.

 

  "Look, Im trying not to be a dic- I mean uh a bad person, but I do not have the time to deal with the dumb things you keep doing", Diego said to which Stan just glanced at him, Diego was getting a headache with this kids attitude. He really brings the ass to sass. "Yeah because you look real buy right now", Diego slapped the muffin to the ground, before more gentle then he usually he is, to grab Stan's shoulder.

 

    "You can stay, but no more doing dumb shit, got it?", Diego asked, Stan sighed then nodded. Before they could argue more, Diego noticed something leaking out Stan's ear. He covered his nose at the smell, it smelled rancid.

 

 "whats that?", Diego question, Stan explained something about ear medicine. So of course now Diego has to go buy a kid some ear medicine before he passed out from the smell. Because again that was horrible.

 

 Diego did not think that he would be in this situation, not ever. At the store dragging around a needy four year who was touching and bringing everything he could reach off the shelves. Diego was so close to just leaving him there and bolting. But Diego is a better person now and would never do that..Sadly.

 

 "What brand", Diego mumbled to himself, looking over to see Stan tearing things off the bottom self. "Hey, quit it", Diego growled making Stan immediately stop. "Tell me which Brand I should buy? is it all the same or?", Stan shrugged to Diego's annoyance, how did the brat not know which brand it was???

 

  "I cant read so I wouldn't know", Diego forgot that a four year would not know how to read, if they did then they were some kind of prodigy. If Stan was anything like Diego then he defiantly was not a Prodigy. 

 

    Before Diego could drag Stan out of the store, he caught eye on one of the sparrows. Well two, but Diego was not going to deal with the girl who spits  hallucination  spit first.  No, he was going for that guy first. Just to get it over with.

 

 "Go wait outside", Diego whispered pushing Stan away slightly. Stan looked to where Diego was looking with a look that Diego already knew meant trouble. "No way, I got your back", Stan said, he was sort of cute in a way.. But the hell would Diego actually do with the help of a toddler? Like thank you but no.

 

  Diego told him to go once more,before going to fight the dude who had.. an interesting face. To say the least, not that Diego is judging his looks but clearly the Umbrellies got the looks. 

 

  "Oh isn't this a twinky dink", Alphonso said. "The only twinky dink I see is yours tough guy", Diego replied, both went silent for a moment before picking up again. Diego pretty much got his ass handed to him, as Luther would "Look its your ass".

 

  Damn Bimbo, who Diego has not seen all day matter of fact. Where the hell is he? Diego does not even think Luther knows about Stanley. Great now Luther is going to be judging him, nothing new either.

 

 Which now, Diego realizes, might not be the best place to be thinking about the mess he calls life. Hopefully Stan is outside waiting and did not get kidnapped. Because that really would make everyone judge Diego, losing your own kid not even a day later.

 

  Before Diego could stop him, Stanley came out of no where and grabbed his knife and threw it. Which of course backfired, pretty much literally. 

 

  When Stan cried out, Diego saw red and immediately attacked Alphonso in sheer rage. Who the hell attacks a toddler? His toddler.

 

 Though Diego was torn between comforting Stan who was crying out in pain, Diego really hoped he wouldn’t start hysterically crying.

 

  He can’t deal with crying people like that, they both would end up crying by the end.

 

 Diego kept throwing things at the guy, until he ran out. He made the decision that he needs to back off till later. So he quickly picked up Stanley, who seemed to stop crying now. Also who had to be underweight, because he was way to light and that can’t be natural.

 

  By the time they were back, Stan was completely fine. As if he wasn’t crying like 20 minutes ago.

 

  He was practically skipping around where Diego limped behind him. He’s start to question whether he is actually good enough to parent such a young child.

 

“Where in the hell were you”, Viktor asked only slightly pausing when he saw the kid. “Is that.. yours?”, Viktor asked forgetting what he was about to say.

 

  “Yeah, that’s Stanley”, Diego replied leaning against one of the pillars in the lobby, while Stan goes to the desk. Diego assumed he wanted to pet the dog.

 

  “He’s so cute”, Viktor comments, Stan was cute in Diego’s opinion. Cute but it was sort of hidden by his sass and sarcasm.

 

  “Yeah. What were you saying before”, Diego said changing the subject. Viktor paused, “Oh yeah. We’ve been looking for you.. Luther apparently was kidnapped”.

 

  Diego blinked, before sighing loudly. “Why the hell did he get kidnapped at this time? He couldn’t have waited till we’ve been here longer then two days?”.

 

  Viktor shrugged, looking over at Stan. “Are you going to be able to do stuff with him, how old is he?”.

 

  Diego really didn’t feel like being questioned by Viktor. It just wasn’t the time, but Viktor seemed even more interested in Stan then Diego himself.

 

  Which is sad but Diego really didn’t want to get to attached to anyone. It always ends up horrible for Diego and leaving his heart ripped into pieces every time.

 

  “He’s 4… hey, I have an idea. Can you watch him for me? I need to do something”, Before Viktor could object, Diego just patted his shoulders and limped off.

 

  “Wait Diego…”, Viktors voice was very small so he knew that Diego wouldn’t be able to hear him or well want too. 

 

  Both Viktor and Stan stared at each other, Stan trying to keep the dog trapped in his arms.

 

 This was going to be quite a day.. wasn’t it?

Chapter 15: Uncle Five pt.2

Summary:

Five is a tired old man. He doesn’t have the time for this. Fluff turned to angst for some reason.

Notes:

Look guys I swear it was meant to be fluff but suddenly I had this random idea. So for once I took my laptop out and wrote it down. Out of the norm from me just writing on my iPhone 11. Like I cut a part out but I still was crying writing this. Why must I make such sad angst? Do not ship Five and Stan for the love of god, I will block you when immediately and call a priest.

     "Can you keep an eye on Stan?", Diego asked, already rushing around to put his jacket on.

 

 "Why can't you hire a babysitter?", Five asked sighing, though he clearly was already saying yes. 

 

 "Because it's last minute and they asked me to come into work", Diego explained grabbing his keys. "Fine. But bring home some scotch for me", Five hollered as Diego closed the door.

 

 "Thanks", Five heard Diego say before the door slammed shut.

 

  Now all Five did was have to find where Stan wandered off, he's currently grounded for telling someone to suck a dick after they called Klaus a slur.

 

 Which Five found it dumb, since Stan had a right to call them names too. But he isn't going to argue with Diego's parenting. 

 

 He is staying with them for a time being after all and it's already crowded in their small shitty apartment. With Stan and a baby on the way. Plus it was a two bedroom mess, Five is staying in Stan's room. While Klaus and Viktor come back and forth to crash on their couch. Since besides Allison they are the only ones with jobs and a place.

 

 Five would get a job but technically he's still in school, which now Lila and diego are trying to put him in school.

 

Which means that he will be in the same school as Stan, Five is still a grade or so higher then Stan. But still.. he doesn't want to go, yet he will have to go or he risks CPS coming for Stan and him.

 

 Which would definitely piss off Diego if his kid got taken because Five refused to go to school for only 7 hours a day.

 

  Five eventually found Stan laying face down, Five immediately felt his heart drop. Quickly going over there to check his Pulse.

 

 Much to his annoyance and relief Stan looked up at him, perfectly fine might I add. 

 

 "What's up?", Stan asked as if he didn't give Five a heart attack a second ago. "What in the fuck are you doing on the floor like that?", Five asked.

 

  "I'm bored. There's nothing to do, I can't even watch tv or play games because I'm grounded",  Stan complained as Five just rolls his eyes.

 

  "Well I'm in charge here, so don't do anything stupid", Five stated, walking back to what he was doing. Seeing why they can't use their powers here.

 

 He just needed to make sure Diego's kid was actually in the apartment. Since he tended to sneak out and give everyone heart attacks scrambling to find him only for him to turn up an hour later with a snack.

 

 Apparently that's what he's use too, so Diego and Lila have to explain to him why it's bad for him to run off.

 

"I'm so bored, aren't you bored Five?", Stan asked following him with this glint in his eyes That Five knew exactly what he wanted too.

 

 "No, I'm not sneaking you out. We are staying here and you are especially staying here", Five said, shutting down Stan's plan completely because no way in hell is he going to be taking the grounded child out. 

 

 "Oh come on... dad won't be back till at least after 6.. and Mum won't be home for a while since Allison and Her are spending some girl time together", Stan pleaded. "Plus no one will ever even know".

 

  Five looked thoughtful a moment before eventually caving, "What do you even want to do?", Five asked. 

 

 Stan only sent him a grin, 'oh... that can't be good' , Five realized. That was all Lila's evil grin right there. Her planning grin.

 

 "So why exactly are we at an arcade  an hour away?", Five asked looking around, this place was a lot farther from the apartment then Five way comfortable with. He does not like being away from the place for to long since he cannot just blink places anymore. Which sucked ass.

 

 "Well because Dad's gym he works at is right next to the usual arcade I go too, so this will have to work", Stan explained and Five does not even know how his weirdo nephew knows about this place. Its not like Diego lets him wander around farther then a 5 minute walk, plus Diego does not even allow Stan on the internet without supervision. Five knows all this due to Stan's rants about him and Diego Rants about Stan and then Lila's rants about both of them.

 

  So yes, Five knows every side of all their stories. Especially since Stan has a big mouth too, exposing anything that he hears. To literally anyone, Diego usually laughs it off and silently threatening Stan. 

 

  "Dude, you coming in or are you going to stand there all day?", Five rolled his eyes following his nephew into the arcade. A very sketchy arcade, as if it was abandoned  in the 80s and people break into it. 

 

  "How do you even know about this place?", Five asked looking around the retro place. "uhh I heard some kids around the neighborhood talking about it, So I asked them the address and found it", Stan explained looking around.

 

  Five could tell his nephew was lying, but he couldn't tell why. But he knew he should most likely leave the kid alone. Its not like he's hurting anyone having a secret, maybe its not a secret per say he just does not want to talk about and Five is cool with that too. 

 

  "Wanna play some Mario games or?", Five grinned, this kid had no idea how good he was at anything involving Mario games. Smash bros, Mario cart,  Mario party, and that's just to name a few. But He guesses he will show why his brothers quit play against them. 

 

  Today was not as bad as it could have been, Five actually had fun for once. Stan was good at smash bros yeah but not as good as he is. But he will teach his nephew all the ways to win and cheat as the others call it.

 

 Its not his fault he figured ways to beat the game, they are just dumb. 

 

  Stan seemed hesitant to leave, Five was not even sure why. He just keep zoning out looking at the building. Five knows somethings up at this point. 

 

 "Whats wrong?", Five asked as they rushed to get home before Diego or someone else. "Its nothing important", Stan kept replying every time Five asked. Five knew it would clearly something, but technically it was not his job to find out but... but the brat is still his family and his family is extremely important to him. ]

 

  Though he is terrible with kids, he just did not know to deal with them. Its not like he did not use to think about having kids, because he did. He thought about it, back in his late twenty's early thirties but he just never found the time. The end of the world constantly above him and saving his family now was to important. Though those dreams are long gone with a lot of Five's old life. His 58 years of life without everyone.

 

  Now.. He was a 13 year old. Technically a middle schooler/High schooler. So yeah, he is never having his own shits. But he can enjoy his nieces and nephew right?

 

 "Come on, we have along walk tell me whats bothering you", Five tried again and this time Stan finally gave him an answer. 

 

  "I lied earlier... I didn't know about this place from some kids. I use to go here back when i was younger in the 80s", Five froze for a moment, he knew obviously Stan was adopted from somewhere or more like stolen. But he did not know it was a different time period...

 

 He waited till Stan explained more, which he did. "It reminded me of the good memories I had with my real mom and I just realized ill never see her again", Five was not even sure how to comfort anyone because Stan look one minute away from crying.

 

 "I miss my mom... Its not like I don't love Dad and Mum.. Its just she's the only person that I have always been with and now she's gone and I- I- I don't think she even knew what happened to me", Stan cried and Five just comforted him silently by hugging him and rubbing his back. 

 

 "I'm not sure how to comfort you about this... i'm not the best person, you need to talk to Diego and Lila", Stan shook his head fiercely. "I don't want them to think Im ungrateful or don't love them", Five was sure that would not be the case, though Diego would probably feel guilty knowing him. Trying to always find solutions for things he cannot control.

 

 "I think I know where she is in this timeline...", Stan said quietly. Five knew where this was going, and this would be an awful idea to travel across the country as two minors without anyone even knowing. But then again, Five always loved an adventure. He has also already done this with Klaus on some mother finding journey.

 

   Damn it... Here Five goes again. "Fine. Lets go find your mother",  Stan looked shocked before wiping his tears away with a smile. "For real?", he asked hopefully as Five sighed. "Yeah apparently, lets take my car'', Before Stan could ask what car, Five grabbed  a rock and smashed a cars window. 

 

  "shit", Five said noticing a cop near by running towards them. "Get in the car, STANLEY", Five yelled attempting to hot wire it. Stan said a few cuss words before getting into the passenger seat. 

 

  Five sped away as soon as he could, Diego is going to flip out. Both Lila and Diego are going to kill Five for this, but he knows more then anyone sometimes you have do shitty things to do one big great thing. Though Stan seems excited now, Five can already feel the hard times this trip will bring.

 

 The place Stan's mom was, is only an 8 hour drive which is closer then it could have been. They could maybe do this in 2 days, hopefully. Diego and Lila can take a day off of parenting? or actually they will most likely be panicking the entire time.

 

  But you know what, Five better be Stan's favorite uncle. Because he is risking a lot to do this right now. The trust in him from Diego will be completely gone, their trust in Stan will also be gone too. 

 

  "Do you know what his means for you Stan?", Five asked, Stan looked concerned as he shook his head. "whatever you find out, will be with you forever. But you can still keep the memory of your mom now I can turn back", Five had to make an offer out for Stan. Something could happen on this trip that will haunt Stan and it would be Five's fault.

 

 "Yes. Im ready for it, I would have found a way here without you if I had too", Stan said honestly and Five definitely believed him. Wouldn't it be worse to let Stan go alone then to take him?

 

 Five knows that if Stab told Diego, one out of two things could happen. One, Diego takes Stan to see his mom. Two, he does not because it could go horrible, either she would try to take him back or he would go with her or even she could be dead and Stan would actually grieve her. This all could get messy, horribly so.

 

   "We need to stop for gas", Five mumbled, after driving for three hours they finally needed to refill the tank. Five was careful to use back roads with a stolen and child.

 

 The nearest gas station looked sketchy as hell, perfect for criminals like them. Plus Five could call Diego with the phone they had. He left his phone at the apartment, because he does not trust someone to not track him. Always the risk.

 

 "Wait in the car and keep your head down, understand?", Five only left once Stan nodded. Making sure the kid understood why that part was important. Diego most likely called the police at this point, since they all were useless without powers.

 

 So yeah, they probably are running around looking for a 12 year old and 13 year old. 

 

  Five made is purchase, of gas and a few snacks he knows Stan can eat. Don't ask where the money came from, for legal reasons he can not say.

 

   Five grabbed the pay phone, it only took a few rings before someone answered. "Hello?", Viktor voice answered, the house phone usually was answered by Viktor or Lila, sometimes Diego. Everyone else not feeling like answering it.

 

  "Hey its me", Five said, he was not exactly expecting Viktor to answer. But it did not matter in the end, Viktor could tell Diego would Five tells him.

 

 "Five shit, where are you? Is Stan with you?", Viktor asked, Five just sighed already annoyed with all the questions being asked. "Yeah he is, I cannot say where. But we're fine, we will be back in two days", Five explained. 

 

  "Two days?! You kidnapped Stanley, you need to bring him back like now", Viktor said seriously. The problem being Five cannot exactly do that. He told Stan he is going to see his mom, so hell he is going to see him. 

 

  "Okay it was nice talking to you, Viktor. Pass the word onto the others, ok? Bye bye now", Five quickly hung up and ran back to the car. They cannot stay in once place right now, someone could spot them out or something.

 

  "Did you tell dad?", Stan asked worriedly, as if Five already exposed him so soon. "Nope just Viktor telling them you're okay", Stan nodded looking out the window as they drove.

 

  At some point, the radio was turned on and playing some random songs. An hour back Stan fell asleep, though Five was drinking like 10 cups of coffee so he would be up all night and day. Power driven literally. 

 

 By the time they were at the apparent place, Five was tired. He made the decision to stop at a place where Stan and he could sleep. Because two minors could not exactly get a hotel room. So parking the car in a hidden place was the best thing to do.

 

   Five closed his eyes leaning the car seat back, finally passing out. Hopefully when he wakes up, Stan and him can do what they came here to do. This was the last known place of Trudy, as Stan said and Five took his word for it. Either way he tried, and now he has Diego and everyone pissed off at him.

 

  Five wakes up to Stan poking him, it was annoying but it did achieve Stan's goal of waking him up. So that's a plus?

 

 It was dark outside when Five woke up, he told Stan his mom was asleep, but the brat was 100% sure she would be awake now more then ever. Whatever then, Five will take Stan's word and hope for the best as this whole trip has been.

 

 The house they pulled up to was in a relatively quiet neighborhood, nothing happening clearly. Everyone seemed to be asleep, But that did not stop Stan from going up to the house and knock. 

 

 Five waited in the car, feeling that Stan should do this on his own. Its his thing that Five will get in the way of.

 

  He watched as the door opened, and for a few minutes two people stood there talking to Stan. Stan eventually went inside and now Five has been waiting outside for 45 minutes. Not even knowing what is happening in there, Diego would kill him if he did not bring Stan back in one piece.

 

  A few minutes later, Stan comes outside. He looks like he is about to have a nervous breakdown and at the same time somehow.. numb.

 

 "so what happened?", Five asked already feeling like he knew the answer. "My mom.. she's...dead", the car ride was silent as Stan only look out the window. refusing to talk to Five at all, he was getting worried and regretful.

 

  Why does every time he takes some on a trip to meet their mom, the mom is always dead? like this is ridiculous.

 

  "She died two years ago, due to heart failure. The people there were her step kids and told me that she never stopped looking for me", Stan said quietly, "or well to them.. Stanley".

 

Five did not speak for a while, choosing to focus on driving. "Do you want to go to her grave?", Five asked after the silence was to fierce. When Stan nodded they were already close to the  grave sight.

 

Stan stood at that grave, for who knows long. Five thinks he is in shock and he really does not know how to talk to him or help him.

 

 "Just two months ago, she was kissing me goodbye and now,.,she's dead", Stan said in a tone that made Five ready to drag him back home, because he's heard that tone before. In his own voice.

 

   "I think we should go", Five said watching as rain crowds went over them, a storm would not help anything. "No... I don't belong there, Five", Stan said backing away.

 

 "I don't belong with Diego and Lila, I should have stayed with my mom. I should have waited the week she left, I should have said no to Lila. I should have not formed attachments. Now im never going to see my mom again, im never going to hear her voice again", Stan sobbed, he could not tell if those were tear marks on Stan's cheeks or rain droplets.

 

"You do belong with them, more then you know. Just because you lost your mom does not mean you're alone, trust me. You call Lila mum and Diego dad just as often as you call her mom", Five said trying to convince Stan to come with him.

 

 "She died and i will never ever see her again. she died without knowing where I went.. Im so stupid and reckless.. i should have stayed with her", Five knew there was no way to stop Stan's crying now. He is grieving and Five knows grief is best done alone. Most think otherwise, but no one is going to help you by telling you everything's going to be okay.

 

 "So what you think she wants you to grieve her the rest of your life? no, she would want her child to take the opportunity to grow up with a family who loves him. One day you will see her again and that will be forever but now? You have your family waiting for you back home", Stan did not reply right away, but he slowly nodded.

 

   Five watched him bend down and gently touch where her name was carved in on the stone, he knew it was a private moment but he was not going to leave him alone grieving in the ran. So he stood there a bunch of feet apart as Stan grieved his mother.

 

  This is exactly why he is not taking people to go see their moms. 

 

 By the next day they were back at the apartment, Five knew they looked rough walking in. Considering neither slept all that much and Stan had red puffy eyes from his crying on the way back. Then of course the lecture's to come from this and both Five and Stan promising not to say where they went.

 

 As soon as Diego saw then he hugged Stan tightly, cupping his head as he talked in a soothing voice in Spanish. Five closed his eyes as he practically collapsed on the couch.

 

  "Never again are you two being left alone without an actual adult again and I hope you two know as soon as you clean up you are telling me where you have been", Five just sighed sleepily, he is to tired to argue with Diego about being an adult. To much effort and time.

 

  But now.. Its time to sleep.

Notes:

Also, I’m still working on other chapters like part 2 to my other chapter and more uncle Five content coming soon as well. Because they are becoming my favorite duo in this series but then again I haven’t written any Klaus and Stan stuff…or anyone. SOme give me ideas for them pls.

Chapter 16: Dad!Diego headcannons

Summary:

Here some headcannons of fatherly Diego. Give me more ideas and should I some Lila ones?

Notes:

So currently working on like 10 or so chapters, some being almost written out completely and others are done I just am posting them once a day. Also I still don’t know where to put the fanfic I wrote for Claire and Stan…. It’s like complicated to find which place to post it💀 help a gal out.

• Diego sneezes like a dad, if you understand then you understand.
• Diego teaches Stan to box, which he is extremely good at. But Diego goes way easy on him to the point he lets Stan just hit him. Even though he knows Stan can handle more.
• Diego doesn’t let Stan stay home alone, even if Stan use to stay home alone for weeks. He just can’t focus on anything if he’s thinking about if someone attacked Stan or something horrible happened while he was alone.
•  So he either gets a babysitter/nanny or One of his siblings watch Stan for them. 
• Diego and Lila takes turns on day shifts and Night Shifts so someone can stay home with their kid(s).
• Diego is always at every school event, even the ones Stan isn’t even in for long. If he had more time he would join the school board thingy (I can’t remember the name of).
• He is a big softy when it comes to his family, Klaus points it out all the time. Though he finds it cute too.
• He’s the type of dad to have a Fanny pack and over pack all the time. He practically carries everything with him. Stan always makes fun of him for it. 
• Diego teaches Stan all about his culture. Also I headcannon Stan knows puerto rican Spanish, which I don’t want to sound stupid on here but as far as I’ve seen there is differences in the Spanish spoken. Someone educate me in the comments. Anyways.
• Stan has a lot of health issues, which Means Diego and Lila have to take him to a lot of doctors appointments.which stresses Diego out because he feels like they are going to find something wrong with Stan every time.
• so far he’s as healthy as he can be with his health issues.
• is Diego a helicopter parent? to an extent Yes. He’s constantly looking at everything Stan does. Any times he’s using a tablet or one of his parent’s phone for something Diego is looking over his shoulder. (Which I did make a fanfic about and it’s still in my drafts from a month ago-).
• Diego also parent Locks everything, He’s not letting Stanley get ideas off the internet or see the bullshit on there. Not for a very long time.
•  Most nights Stan does sleep in their bed, especially when Diego’s brothers are over since they need a place to sleep too and usually it’s Stan’s bed. 
• which Diego doesn’t mind except the fact Stan sleeps in the middle so he can’t hold both of them when they sleep is a little annoying to him.
• Diego does also get kicked off the buy, literally. Either by Stan or Lila, they both kick all night. Well Lila kicks hard, while Stan has no spacial awareness and will physically roll on diego at night.
• Which will most likely get more packed when the baby sleeps in the bed too at some point. Because Diego is sure Stan and the baby will be in control of the house at some point.
• Klaus is the babysitter, most of the time and Diego has came back to chaos on many occasions. Which is what happens when you leave your kid alone with your brothers.
• Utter chaos always in the Hargreeve-Pitts household.
• Stan has been known to also eat Gluten to get attention or get out or something. Usually it ends up with Diego comforting him and holding him. 
• Diego’s an idiot so he has no idea he’s being played. Lila knows but finds it funny so she doesn’t saying anything. The other siblings try to tell Diego but he gets offended that they would say that about his kid. Even if it’s true.
• Diego doesn’t allow his kids to be driven by anyone. Especially his siblings since he knows most of them are reckless drivers well Viktor and Allison are okay but still.
• he watches to many true crime and accident stories. So he doesn’t risk his kids and wife in anything slightly dangerous. 
• even though of course Lila doesn’t listen to his worries most of the time, complaining that it’ll be fine.
• but still his siblings know not to take Stan or his baby into a car without him especially.
• Diego also started to dress like a dad with dad outfits (yk those suburban dad looks and shirts from Walmart). 
• Diego is also the only one punishing Stan with getting grounded and things taken away. Lila’s actually to soft too, she will feel bad an hour later. So Diego has to be the ‘bad guy’.
• Diego refuses to accept toys for the baby that light and talk. It drives everyone crazy, except Stan who puts on headphones 24/7. 

Notes:

Also some of these foreshadows things I haven’t posted but are written Lmao

Chapter 17: Cousins- Claire + Stanley meet

Summary:

Lila, Diego, and Stan go to Claire’s birthday party Invited by Allison herself. Stan and Claire meet there too.

Notes:

This is the chapter where I couldn’t decide whether to put it in the other FanFiction but some of you said here. Actually a lot of you did so of course I went ahead and did it. Also this chapter was going to be called “cousin love” but then I didn’t want you guys to think it was *that* kind of fic💀 Anyways sort of a pt.2 is on my other story. I feel like people aren’t reading my chapters as often as they did when I started it, do I post to much or not enough? These are all important questions.

"Hey Love", Diego greeted when he got home, an hour earlier then Stan gets home and an hour later before Lila.

 

  "Hi, I got an invitation to a certain princess party", Diego looked confused as he grabbed a glass to get something to drink. 

 

 "Allison. She invited us and Stan of course, to Claire's 9th birthday", Diego just stood there a minute before shaking his head. "After all she did, what she wants to some how forget her betrayal and skip around a kids party".

 

  "Oh come on, Diego. she did what she had too, you would have done the same thing for Stan",Lila pointed out, which Diego hated when she was right.

 

  "She's untrustworthy still, I don't want her around Stan or the new baby. Anything could happen and I don't want to lose anyone", Lila sighed walking over, massaging his shoulders. "Nothings going to happen at a princess party, Di. Plus, Stan needs to meet his cousin yes?".

 

  Diego knows that it's so unlikely for anything to happen again. But Allison is a lose cannon, he couldn't live with himself If Something happened to his little family.

 

  "Diegooo, come on. You haven't seen her or anyone else in the family for months. It'll be good, I'm sure they will be there too", Diego nodded a bit. Fine, but if something happens he's taking Lila and Stan and not going back. 

 

  "I'm going to go look for a suitable present to buy a child, do you think a working bow and arrow is a bad idea", Diego sent her a look and she nodded to herself. Yeah bad plan, though that's a gift Stan probably would like more then Claire.

 

 "Where's the invitation, have you RSVPed?", Diego Asked finding the invitation on the counter. 

 

  "I thought we should talk about it before. You're welcome", Diego chuckled and shook his head. Looking at the number listed, had to be Allison's.

 

  So Diego took his chances and texted her on his new number, even against his own wants to not do this. He should do it for his family, so Stan can meet his cousin.

 

  Diego;  hey it's Diego. 

 

  No response yet, Diego knew Allison always kept busy. Especially working, so he knew she most likely would get to his texts later.

 

  He still has time to change his mind too, never answer her after his last text. He never said he was going just texted so... Diego's rambles was cut off by The front door being opened.

 

  "You're Home early, Jelly bean", Diego commented watching Stan put down his bag. He looked up at Diego as if he was dumb before going towards the kitchen. 

 

  "I'm at the same time, I always get home. You lost track of time or something old man", Diego just scoffed, grabbing the invitation before Stan could see.

 

  He didn't want Stan to know about anything, unless it was set in stone. It's not his job to mess with his dysfunctional family. 

 

 Before Diego could respond to Stan, his phone made a buzz noise. Indicating that he got a text, Stan looked over at it but Diego grabbed it before he could see.

 

  Diego flicked Stan's nose before looking at his messages.  

 

  Allison: hey. Im assuming you texted about the party? It's on Saturday September 23rd at 3pm. It's on Hargreeves central street, it's at a park.

 

Diego just stared at the text, why is she having a party two weeks away from Claire's actual birthday??

 

 And worst of all, on Stan's birthday weekend. His actual birthday on the 22nd. Shit, well that plans out the door. 

 

  He can't take Stan, technically his birthday to his cousins party isn't that kind of messed up in a way?

 

 It's an easy choice not to go to Claire's thing and instead do something for Stan. He's turning 12 after all. Though knowing Stan and Lila, no party, they both hate going to parties as much as Diego.

 

  So trade that for a family day, works better in Diego's favor. 

 

 "Come on, Stan. Let's make some dinner, I'm thinking keep it simple and make some Enchilada's", Stan nodded already pulling out the the tortillas from the cabinet. Since Diego and Stan always cook these especially together, Stan already knows what to do.

 

  Later that night, after Diego eventually got Stan to go to bed he finally had time to talk to Lila.

 

  "Stan doesn't like parties, you know that.Plus his birthday is the day before. He will most likely want to skip school anyways for it", Lila pointed out as Diego grimaced. No, he was not in fact using his son as an excuse to get out of this party. Nope. He would never. 

 

 "Fine.. but I'm not going to he happy about it", Diego said pouting, yes, he a grown man, pouting. 

 

 Finally when the time came, Stan really didn't want to go. Not because he wanted to do something, Diego asked many times. Just because he didn't want to go to a Princess party. 

 

  Which Lila got mad at Diego, Claiming his negative energy was rubbing off on Stan. Diego just rolled his eyes.

 

  "It won't be that bad, right Diego?", Lila asked giving Diego a look, which told Diego she wants him to lie his ass off.

 

 "Claire is your cousin, she's 9 yeah but you two can still hang out right?", Stan looked at Diego skeptically. Diego knew that Stan knew he was lying, the kid could always tell.

 

 "I don't think she'll mind if I don't go... I mean we don't even know each other", Stan said, Lila sent him a look from the passenger seat. "And what? Want us to drop you off in the middle of the street. Let you wander till the party is over".

 

 Before Stan could say "yes", Diego interrupted them both. "Look we are here already. Let's all suck it up for the sake of this princess party", Stan rolled his eyes waiting for some to open the back door.

 

 Because yes, they have to lock Stan in now. Since the incident. 

 

  "Don't say anything dumb or ruin the party", Diego couldn't tell it lila was aiming that at Stan or him.  Because both accidentally make little children cry all the time.

 

  "This party better not last that long, or else I'm jumping out the window", Stan complained, they haven't even gotten in the party and Stan was already having an attitude. 

 

 Great this would be great, Diego shook his head out off bad thoughts.

 

  "Lila, Diego, Stan I'm glad you guys came", Allison said in a false cheery voice, that was her Public voice she used around outsiders.

 

 The party.. was very colorful. To say the least. Much more colors then Diego was used too, it was like a rainbow threw up all over the place.

 

  But it was a kids party he guesses, he wonders if Stan ever had a party. He doesn't seem the type to want something big, or maybe he doesn't even know.

 

 Diego knows he wanted huge parties but Reginald always said no. That it was dumb to celebrate their birthday every year.

 

  So they never really celebrate their birthday besides a special dinner and some free time without training. It was always a dull day to them. Another day in the year that was their Fucked life.

 

  "Diego, you want a drink or something?", Diego looked to see who said his name, he was shocked to see Ray also standing there. So that's what Allison got.. everyone she cares about.

 

 "Uh maybe just one.. I have work tomorrow", Diego lied, he took off the entire weekend for Stan in advance. But that's neither here or there.

 

  Plus he did not want to drink with These asswholes, they just weren't there yet. No matter what Lila says.

 

  It's not really about Claire or Ray, he's glad they are back for Allison.Plus she wrote Stanley into the timeline too for them.. it's about trust and all the shit she did. He doesn't know if he can trust her around his kids, she's more of a lose cannon then Viktor at this point. 

 

 "So, it's been awhile", Ray started, Diego nodded taking a sip. Looking around slightly to see where his family ran off too.

 

 He couldn't see them, which he knew nothing happened to them it just made him nervous when they weren't around.

 

 Even when he goes to work, he frets if Lila doesn't answer him for to long.

 

 Then he gets nervous if Stan isn't home exactly on time, since he really wanted to walk by himself. So Diego usually goes walking the same direction until he finds him.

 

  "Thanks for the drink, Ray. But I'm going to go see where my family went off too", Diego said, before Ray could ask him to stay for another drink. Diego walked off.

 

 He eventually squeezed his way through all the little kids running around all over the place. All the cute little girly things made Diego want a daughter. He would be happy for a boy too, it's just his dream to have a boy and a girl.

 

 He already has Stan, so he would love a little baby girl. To throw her own horrifying pink birthday parties. 

 

 Diego found Lila and Stan together looking at the petting zoo. Which Diego hated, not the animals just the fact that people were using them for entertainment and such. 

 

 Then they have to be pet by a bunch of rowdy kids. Poor creatures really, though it's not his place to say anything to anyone it still ticks him off.

 

 "Did you enjoy your drink with Ray?", Lila asked when she spotted him. She had this twinkle in her eye as if she already knew.

 

 "Didn't last that long", Diego replied walking to stand next to Stan looking at the bunnies. 

 

Lila didn't seem to be to interested in the animals as she looked around. "I'll be right back, I'm going to go find some food", Lila said walking off.

 

  Diego would have like it if they all could Stay together, since the party was big he didn't want to be wandering all day to find them.

 

 "You should get me a bunny", Stan said breaking Diego's thoughts. "Hell no. No more looking at bunnies for you", Diego said leading Stan away.

 

"Fine then Papi im going to dress the baby up as a bunny and feed it carrots", Diego laughed putting a hand on Stan's shoulder. 

 

"Deal", Diego said as they walked. "Have you met your cousin yet?", Diego asked suddenly remembering why the came. 

 

 The silence was enough of an answer to Diego,   he quickly took a look around until he saw Allison.

 

  "Do I have too?", Stan whined, clearly not wanting to actually talk to anyone. "Yes. We came just for this. Family is the most important thing, you two need to get along", Diego replied having his arm over Stan's shoulder as they walked.

 

  It was very important to Diego and Lila that Stan was apart of the family and that included going to crappy family events. 

 

  "Hello Stanley", Allison greeted, Diego ignored the fact she didn't greet him at all this time. "Do you want to meet Claire?", She asked, Stan only looked at Diego who sent him a look, then nodded.

 

 "Okay, good you've caught her at a good time she's over here come on", Allison led them both to where Claire was. Stan still didn't seem interested in this entire thing.

 

 But Diego was, Stan and Claire are the next generation, plus the baby of course. And they were the closet in age to each other too.

 

 "Claire bear, come meet your Cousin Stanley", Allison said to a little girl, who in Diego's opinion is her twin when she was younger. 

 

  The little girl waved at Stan, who only nodded awkwardly.  Neither actually spoke, Allison shared a look with Diego.

 

  "I'm sure Stan would love to give you the gift he got", Allison stated, Stan looked at Diego expectedly who looked at Allison expectedly.

 

  "Here idiots", Lila said brining the gift over,  making Claire giggle. 

 

  Lila handed Stan the gift who just blanket stared at it, "why did you hand it to me?", Stan asked as Diego slapped the back of his head.

 

 Stan eventually got the memo and handed it to Claire, who thanked him before opening.

 

 "A real bow and arrow?", She said excitedly as Allison's smile faltered. Diego gave Lila a look, she just grinned.

 

 "Can never be to young to practice, isn't that right Clairey", The little girl nodded enthusiastically. "Thank you aunt Lila", Claire said happily.

 

 "How about we take this for now", Allison said prying the bla and arrow carefully from her kids hands. Diego didn't exactly think Lila was thinking when giving a gift of an borrow and arrows to a 9 year old when they had this conversation when she brought it up for Stan too.

 

  Which they did not do, to Stan's disappointment. Since he already shot Klaus once and no one else can come back from the dead now.

 

  It only took a few minutes before Claire to go back to the party and Allison trying to be and explaining that next time they should just buy a doll or something.

 

  Lila shrugged it off saying it was 'a very thoughtful gift' for the future.

 

 Diego's already decided he will be doing the gift shopping from now on. Especially when it comes to children's gift.

 

 At some point in the party Stan disappeared, Diego and Lila were hanging around the food tables since she was always starving these days.

 

 "Wish they had an open bar", Lila complained, Diego shot her a look of disbelief. "Calm down idiot I'm just saying in general", Diego still didn't believe her but luckily there wasn't a bar to test that.

 

 It was time for singing happy birthday and Diego didn't even know where Stan went off too.

 

  Looking around the party, which was crowded with so many people. What 9 year old knows this many people?

 

  He eventually found his son next to his dumb ass uncle who he killed before.

 

  Diego didn't know what they were talking about, But Klaus was already laughing hi ass off. Everyone in the party were looking at them. Which Diego found rude, hasn't anyone seen someone laugh before?

 

  "They are doing cake now", Diego said before collapsing on the nearest chair. "Awe did the princess party you out?", Klaus said with a snicker which made Stan snicker.

 

 Diego swears those two are the most annoying, especially as a duo. Almost as much as Five and Stan now.

 

  "Shut up you two, after cake I'm ready to leave", Diego said tiredly already knowing Stan couldn't eat the cake though he did eat every treat that was gluten-free so that's probably for the best. He doesn't need Stan to be up all night.

 

 "What have you been up too?", Diego asked Klaus, since he hasn't seen him in a few week. "You know the usual... I got me a job", Diego looked interested.

 

 Because Klaus hadn't had an actual job in years. "It's a job I probably shouldn't say what I do in front of children", Klaus said as Diego looked confused.

 

 "Are you a stripper or something", Stan asked, Some how everyone inside stopped talking after he said that. Klaus was on the floor laughing, Diego shook his head. Stan still seemed confused.

 

 "Are you guys coming to sing happy birthday or", Lila asked plopping down next to Stan. "I don't feel like getting up", Stan pretty much whined. 

 

"You and me both", Lila said closing her eyes slightly. "Aww look at the happy family", Klaus cooed. Getting glares from everyone as he laughed.

 

  "We should bail", Lila said, Diego shook his head. "You wanted to come and we can't leave without saying something", Diego said.

 

  Stan made a face at that, of course being at a party for 3 hours would make Diego's entire family done with socializing.

 

  "Fine. I'll send Allison a text later, let's go before you two start a fire or something", Diego said taking Stan's hand and Lila's.

 

 "Awww my little Diego is growing up", Klaus wiped a fake tear or a real one, Diego couldn't tell.

 

  "You need a ride anywhere before we go?", Diego asked, usually Klaus would hitch a ride with one of them. He shook his head, "nah. I've been crashing here, but I'll come visit you guys since I know you miss me".

 

  Diego rolled his eyes fondly, he was way too tired to deal with Klaus's nonsense. But he's glad that Klaus is sober and being a great uncle recently.

 

  "He steal anything?", Diego asked while they were driving back home. Stanley passed out in the back. 

 

  "Nah, getting better. Only attempted to steal something small", Lila said proudly, maybe some parents wouldn't found that something to be proud over but The Hargreeves weren't everyone. 

 

  And that was a big plus on Lila and Diego's parenting. The improvements were the best things, because it meant they were actually parenting correctly.

 

  Lila and Diego smiled at each other. Yeah, they got this parenting thing down.

Notes:

Tell me more requests so far I’m working on Stan and MR.Pennycrumble- don’t ask. Then I am working on pt.2 to Stan being younger. Then I’m working on like 8 chapters that I haven’t finished since I wrote then July 8th ish- so they are technically old chapters but I like them enough I want to write them soon. Plus I think you guys will like them too. Also I’m working on another fic I haven’t written it out yet but soon, maybe I’ll make it it’s own fanfic. But I borrowed the idea from someone with permission of course- anyways im ranting and no reads these so🤣 tell me do you actually read my notes???

Chapter 18: No punching

Summary:

Mini chapter- Diego try to curve Stan’s habit of punching.

Notes:

None of my other chapters are finished and I’m working on another series. Plus I haven’t been feeling to good to say, yk the usual. So technically this isn’t even done but I’ll post it since it’s able to read alone like this.

  "Diego", Luther called walking towards him. "What do you want luther?", Diego asked not looking up from his plate of food.

 

  "Your kid just throat punched me", Diego paused in his eating looking up at his brother with confusion.

 

 "He what now?", Diego asked slightly intrigued, Luther scowls. "Yeah he just.. punched me in the throat",  he replied with

 

 "...why did he do that?", Diego asked, because he had not seen Stan actually punch anyone. Though it makes sense he would considering his parents.

 

  Luther took a deep breath, "Well, I went into our shared room. I saw him sleeping still and I thought he might be dead so I checked his pulse". 

 

  Diego look dumbfounded For a few minutes, just staring at Luther.

 

 "You thought he was dead???", Diego asked clearly amused yet concerned. "I don't know maybe! The point is he is not and I guess I woke him up and he punched me in the throat and went back to sleep".

 

 Diego smirked to himself a bit, "I told you specifically to not wake him up, he can naturally wake himself up later".

 

 "But it's already almost noon", Luther complained, for some reason he's always a control freak much like Five. Everyone has to be awake because he is and Diego really doesn't blame Stan for punching. 

 

Luther already keeps them up all night doing his weird shit and then last night the idiot broke his bed. By himself.

 

  "Just leaving him he", Diego said going back to eating, but Luther didn't walk away. "Aren't you going to I don't know? Punish him for being bad?", Luther asked as Diego raised a brow.

 

  ".. no? Am I suppose too? All he did was punch you so it's not that big", Diego stated once again, Luther frowned.

 

 "But then he'll think punching is okay", before Diego could say it was. Luther added on, "There's time and places he should learn when to punch, unless you want him like the rest of our siblings and punching whenever and whoever".

 

 "Fine I'll talk to him, but I'm not going to wake him up like you. I'm not getting throat punched", Luther nodded simply and walked off to who knows where.

 

 Later, like an hour. Diego bumped into Stan, he really couldn't decide if he should talk to him now or later. 

 

 Or exactly what he was going to say to the kid. Because basically he was preaching something, he didn't do.

 

"Come here, kid", he called catching Stan's attention, he sighed clearly already having an attitude. "Did you throat punch your uncle?", Stan blinked at him lazily. 

 

 "Yeah", Stan and Diego were seeing who would look away first. "Why?", Diego asked finally.

 

 "Because I don't like people touching me sleeping", Stan put it simply, Diego fought the urge to rub his eyes again. Instead hs rubbed his temple. 

 

 "Just... no punching people ok?", Diego really didn't want to be arguing so early, well early for him since he woke up two hours ago. 

 

  "You do it. Everyone does it", Stan points out, which Diego can't exactly argue with. He doesn't want to sound stupid by telling Stan that he can't do that just because. 

 

 "Yeah we shouldn't and you shouldn't", Stan just looks at Diego up and down. "You're Lying", he says before walking off.

 

  Diego really doesn't know how to talk to his own child right now. Because yeah he can see bullshit too. Damn luther...

Chapter 19: Google, Can 4 year olds go to jail for assaulting their parent?

Summary:

Viktor and Stan for a few moments then Diego and Stan in the end.

Notes:

So maybe instead of daily I’m going to start posting every two days or so? Like what do you think?

   "Hello Stanley, I'm Your Uncle Viktor", Viktor smiled at his new nephew. Who was currently trying to kidnap the hotels clerk's dog.

"How about we put the dog back and go get something to eat", Viktor said gently as if he was talking to Harlan. The little boy he was missing so much.

"But I think he likes me", the dog growled in response to that so Viktor wasn't so sure. Plus Chet would have a fit if he saw this.

Eventually Viktor coaxed Stan into letting the dog be, and taking him over to the food areas.

"I can't eat gluten", Stan comments when Viktor was looking for food he thought a child might like. "Oh so what doesn't have gluten?", Viktor asked as Stan shrugged.

  "I don't know my mom makes my food", Viktor sighed, looking around. He wasn't even sure what had gluten and what didn't. Does he ask? Or what.

  "Let's just try to eat something you've had before", Stan nodded scrunching his face in disgust at the foods.

Okay.. never a good sign.

Eventually they found something, after a while of Stan shake his head at Viktor's questions.

"Do you like playing games?", Viktor asked, since Viktor is sure Stan hasn't had any chances to actually like a kid. Stan looked thoughtful.

"Depends", he said. "How about we play hide n seek?", Viktor asked as Stan nodded excitedly.

"Okay I'll hide", Before Viktor could tell him to wait and finish his food the kid was already running away.

Maybe.. this was an awful idea. A four year old playing hide n seek in a huge hotel?

Shit, Viktor didn't think this through very well. Oh well, Stan couldn't get that far in a few seconds,right?

Viktor was very wrong, Stan could get far. Viktor's been looking for 2 hours and nothing. Diego's also probably looking for them both now, so basically Viktor has to find Stanley before Him.

Before Viktor could start to freak out, that it was all his fault. Again he causes dumb shit to happen. Allison and Stan come into view, she's holding his hand telling him something.

"Allison? stan?", Viktor calls, Allison looks over when she realizes He was standing there.

"Did I win the game?", Stan asked, Viktor looked thoughtfully then nodded. "Yep. You totally win, nice job".

"So that's why he was hiding in the bathroom", Allison stated, Which Viktor didn't even think to check there. This place is way to big for a kid to be running around.

"Yeah I guess", Viktor said attempting to take Stan's other hand. "Come on let's go back down so your dad can find us", Viktor noticed Allison hold Stan's hand tighter.

"So he is Diego's", Allison said bitterly making Viktor freeze up a bit. It's never works out for anyone when a Hargreeve sounds like that.

"Yeah..I better get him back before Diego starts question bystanders", Viktor said waiting for Allison to let go of Stan's other hand. Which she eventually did.

"Great I'll come along", Allison said walking next to them, Viktor looked concerned before nodding. Stan didn't seem to care about them, just looking proud he won.

"We should all play hide n seek", Stan decides, Both Allison and Viktor shake their head. "Bad idea" and "you might get lost", comes out of their mouths at the same time.

Stan deflates but nods sullenly.

"Come on its fine, we can play another day", Viktor says trying to lift Stan's spirits. Because he definitely doesn't want Stanley to go back to Diego looking sad. Because how do you explain to him they you pretty much lost his kid for 30 minutes?

  You don't, that's how.

Stan looked happy again at Viktors promise, Viktor's almost jealous how easily kids can come back from things like that. Almost as if he wasn't just upset about this.

But that’s just life he guesses, kids will be kids.

Once they got back down, Viktor’s guess was right Diego was looking for them. Once he spotted them, he walked towards them with a hidden expression.

“Viktor, where the hell did you two go?”, Diego asked, ignoring the fact he was swearing in front of a 4 year old.

“Playing hide n seek”, Stan vocalized, making Viktor want to put his head in his palm. By Diego’s expression to that, he looked pissed off.

“So you went off by yourself in a huge ass hotel with a bunch of weirdos walking around?”, See Diego was directing the question to Stan but looked Viktor right in the eyes. As if to pretty much ask him too.

“The only weirdos here are you”, Both Viktor and Allison had to stifle their laughter, Diego’s face was to funny not to laugh at. A four year old just pretty much insulted them all, kids have no filter for sure.

Diego clapped his hands together, “Okay.. it’s bedtime now”, He said grabbing Stan’s hand and dragging him off. “But the sun’s still up”, Stan complained.

“It won’t be when you close your eyes”, He replied walking him up the stairs. “That’s dumb”, Stan complained again, Diego simply rolled his eyes.

He looked back to see Viktor and Allison talking about something looking at them. They better be talking shit on his parenting, he’s not afraid to slap a bitch.

Which he should probably watch his language since the little shit of a son he has, already has a problem with cussing.

Which is not Diego’s fault, blame Lila, she’s a terrible person. Probably a shitty mom too. Well actually no, he can’t really saying anything about that since he doesn’t know.

Leaving Stanley with him was shitty though, of course his life puts the child at risk too. And he doesn’t have the time to parent a toddler, or any child really.

“Can you let go of my hand”, Diego doesn’t budge and keeps walking. “No, because you run off all the damn time”, Diego said seriously.

“You’re a dickhead”, Diego pauses and stops both of them from walking. Diego bent down to Stan’s eye level, “We don’t use that kind of language”.

Stan blinked at him lazily, “You say it though”, Diego took a breath in. He knew that was coming.

“Yes and I’m a grown as- man”, he said trying to cut down on his language. Stan looked at him unimpressed, Diego really was horrible at being a dad wasn’t he?

“Aw he’s adorable, is he yours?”, Some old lady cooed, Which really wasn’t helping when he was trying to talk sternly to his kid. Then a dumb old lady is here complimenting him?

“Thanks… yeah…he is”, Diego said once again walking away. More quickly then before, not wanting another interruption.

Stanley’s complaints went on deaf ears, as they walked. Diego practically dragged him down the hallway.

Once in the room, he let go of Stan. “It’s bedtime, no more arguments”, Diego said as he closed the curtains. Making It a lot darker so it would be easier for Stan to sleep.

Eventually he did achieve his goal in making Stan lay down and sleep. Though he wasn’t sleeping he was quietly laying down.

Which is enough for Diego, he can stay here and also quietly clean his knives. Gotta be ready for those sparrows at any moment.

“I’m not tired”, Stan said after a while of silence, Diego hummed and continued cleaning his knives. Taking a cloth and wiping anything extra off.

Stan got bored and tried to get up, “Down”, was the only word Diego said not even looking up.

“I don’t want too though”, he said slowly getting whiner as the moments pass. “Well that’s to bad”, Diego responded.

Stan started crying, which Diego does not good when anyone starts crying. But he cannot exactly let Stan have what he wants by crying, which sucks yeah. But then he will cry for anything and immediately think he’s going to get it.

“Everything’s okay”, Diego shushed him, knowing he’s horrible at comfort. But eventually Stan stopped crying but he did want Diego to do one thing…

So here he is laying down trying to squeeze himself on the couch, who barley fits one tiny person let alone a grown one too.

But at least Stan isn’t crying, we’ll thank god. Diego hates anyone crying near him, especially his family. It just upsets him too.

He’s not sure if Stan’s asleep or not because every time he thinks he’s asleep, a voice pipes up asking him where he is going as if he isn’t in his thirties.

So he stays, for an hour or so, also dozing off. Just when he is almost asleep, he gets pushed off the couch.

Slamming to the ground as Stan sleeps on as if he didn’t just push his dad off the couch. After making him lay down next to him.

But whatever, the brat’s cute at least.

Chapter 20: On your own- Aunt Allison

Summary:

Allison gets pissed off, lashing out at Diego and Stan.

Notes:

Sooooo I want to make a hurt/comfort fic of Stan being hurt by Allison or something but this wasn’t it.. I remember now that I have one in drafts but I already wrote it here too. But tell me if you want me to post it. Also if you didn’t know I sort of prewrite half the chapter before quickly finishing it days later to post here now.

  Allison looked over at Diego, who was casually scrolling through texts. During their important family meeting, one that no one was taking serious.

 No one seemed to care that Allison and Luther were missing their special people. Sure it technically was Allison's fault that She doesn't have Ray or Claire.. but she had to try something.

But she did get her karma, as neither Ray, Claire or Even Patrick is here.

 Luther's wife isn't here either, which Allison is still pissed off about. Why did he get married after like two days??

 This family is a mess, inside and out. Luther being his idiot self, Viktor hiding important shit from everyone, Diego getting Lila pregnant and adopting a random ass kid as his own. Then Klaus being Klaus and Five acting like everyone is trying to kill him.

 It's all ridiculous, especially now. Klaus munching on a random taco, who knows where he got it from. Then there's Five trying to write out a detail plan to kidnap Their dad, then Diego still smiling at his phone.

 "Are we wrapping this up?", Allison finally asked, bored as hell. No one was even getting anywhere with this or really no one in this room actually cared. 

 Klaus doesn't have anything anymore in any time period, Diego has his family together then Five is trying to retire but he is also getting roped in to do this too.

 Everyone seems to have their own problems too, Allison knows this. But still she can't help but feel no one is actually understanding her pain. It's not like they have ever lost a child, maybe Viktor.. but does that really count?

 Allison wouldn't say so. Diego's kid yeah, since he's grown attached to him and formed a bond.

 She doesn't even know what Viktor did or if bonded but right now he is not on speaking terms with Allison.

 Really no one is with her, all pissed off at her for their own reasons. Though she thinks that at least Diego should be thankful he has his entire family here. Plus a baby.

Allison at least helped one person finding happiness, but it wasn't her being that person. 

"I'm trying to fix this mess-", he gestures to his scribbles, "but I don't think there is a way out of this", Five finally answered.

  Allison got quiet for a moment, taking a deep breath in. She refuses to start over.. again. She needs there to be a way, even if she has to sacrifice someone.

 Even if that sounds cruel, she will bring back her daughter and husband. 

 Diego just looked around, clearly in thought. About who knows what at this point, he's always thinking about something else. 

 He's really not that hard to understand, he only thinks about Lila, Knives, Food, being a hero, and his kids.

  He could probably live in a shed and still be happy if he had kids little family. Though Allison knows she's different from him, she wants her family living in her perfect world.

 A huge home, with plenty of space outside, being on magazines as the 'perfect family' and just have the life she dreamed of since she was a little girl.

 But of course her old life ruined it, or maybe she did? 

 Either way, that's all out the door now and she's stuck being hated by her brother's for the betrayal with no family really left.

 "Maybe we should leave this be", Allison glared at Diego. "I know some of us had a different envision for this world. But that's what happens when you trust Reginald, and we've been causing to many apocalypse so I say if there isn't one here why make one".

 Allison really wanted him to shut up.. because she's missing her family so badly. But he makes such good points he knows Five will eventually agree and she'll be stuck. Luther, who won't even look at her, too will be without his wife.

 "You can only say that because you have Lila and Stan", She growled standing up, Diego got eye to eye with her. "Yeah I am. That and you do this to yourself. But unlucky for you that you don't get what you want. This is more then us now, the worlds finally fine".

 "That we know of", Five said sighing and rubbing his eyes. "Nothing we can't deal with", Klaus responded seemingly taking Diego's side.

 "If the world does go down again, we'll do what we have too. Pack it all up", Diego said making Allison's scowl. She doesn't want the 'ifs' she wants her CHILD back.

 Is that such a hard thing to ask for? No, shes not asking for that big of a stretch? 

 Stanley came back from the 1980s some how, why couldn't her daughter make a return either??

 The meeting ended as soon as it started with everyone giving up.

 Which is something she refuses to do, if she is giving up it's going to be with her death. She'll talk to her 'father' and make him listen.

 “So whose coming with me to figure out a way to sneak into hotel oblivion”, Five asked, Allison already knew she was going to be going with him. Hoping that Five doesn’t give up on the plan to fix this mess.

  “I am”, Allison that like it was obvious, Five nodded looking at Klaus and Diego.

 “Can’t”, Is all Diego replied with, “why is that?”, Five asked clearly as annoyed as Allison felt. “Lila has a job interview and some body has to stay with Stan”, He replied with.

 “Stan will be fine alone for a little while, he’s twelve years old after all”, Allison replied, They could use Diego for this mission. Even though no one has powers, Diego still can fight pretty damn well. 

 Not to say the others can’t but, they need more people.

“I am not going to leave him alone, for who knows how long and in a random timeline”, Allison is really getting annoyed with them all, she’s about to do this all herself. No one is understanding her Point of view or trying too.

“Fine. How about you Klaus”, Five asked, Klaus shook his head. “I’m going with Luther again tomorrow, some bro on bro time”, Five just sighed.

 It’s clear Five is slowly coming onto the ides that no one is really hacking this plan up. Except Allison, who neither had powers to do anything.

 “Fivey, come on. You know this is dumb, you can’t even do anything anymore”, This time Klaus said walking out the door, Allison really wanted to punch him up reframed from doing so.

 Everyone keeps seeing her as the villain, at this point she might as well be. 

Diego soon followed after Klaus, both seeming to fall back into conversation with each other. 

 So Allison waits until Even Five leaves so she can be alone looking at their shitty plan. Her own stupidly, her pain now.

  Allison wouldn’t say that she hates Stan, he’s an okay kid. But she doesn’t like him either. Not really him per say, more like the idea of him.

 The idea that Diego gets to keep him and a baby while her daughter still doesn’t exist. Just pisses her off more then words can say.

Trust her, she’s tried to put it in words.

 Every time she seems Lila and Diego or Diego and Stan, it just pisses her off again in a vicious cycle. 

 Everything she lost and gave up means nothing now. As everyone slowly settles down, Five actually being retired and relaxing. Diego settling down with his family and not doing the old shit he use too. Klaus and Luther off on their own adventures. 

 Then there’s Viktor, who is slowly settling down. Going to teach children violin lessons again for some cash and seemingly doing okay in the new timeline.

 Then there’s her, who can’t even seem to settle down with anything. Always pissed off, upset, or simply depressed.

 “Okay and move your leg back a little more”, Diego said teaching Stan proper boxing forms. Which he does often now, any time he has free. If your going to be an Hargreeve you need to learn to fight to save your life pretty much.

  So walking into the living room and seeing that isn’t anything new, though usually Diego is doing it at the gym he works at. Not at home. 

 “Hey”, Diego greeted when he saw Allison pass by, she nodded at him. Not staring to looking at them.

Diego whispered something to Stan before walking in her direction, which was the kitchen.

  “You good? You haven’t been talking to anyone”, He asked, of course she isn’t fucking good. Her daughter is dead, her husband is dead, and her powers are gone.

 She ignores him instead of yelling at him in front of his son, she could say a lot but that wouldn’t be fair to do Infront of a child. About their parent especially.

 “I know you want this to work, I do too, for you. But.. If Five can’t figure it out either, there’s not a lot of hope”, Diego said, she knew he was trying to pretty much tell her that she was getting her hopes up and she would only get worse as time passes.

 “What do you want me to do, Diego? Want me to act like I never had my child. Restart my life?“. Diego sighs, “I’m not saying that.. I’m just saying that maybe you should stop snapping at everyone who cares for you right now. Viktor especially, just think about it”.

“I’m sorry I’m not you, I can’t forget about people who died because of me. Your little girlfriend and what not.. you act so high and mighty now”, she screamed in his face once again, this feels like it happens once a day. “But I will NOT forget about them, I will get them back”.

 Diego didn’t respond to her, sort of looking away. Probably something to do with the mention his ex girlfriend.

  She’s sick and tired of her siblings and their shit. She can’t even grieve without them saying suck it up. 

 “Do you know about what losing a child feels like, Diego? Because I can sure show you”, She said as her eyes glowed. Diego seemed to watch in horror as Stan started to cough violently.

 She’s not sure how she did it, not sure where her powers came from. But it was sort of like a spark she had, then she just couldn’t hold her fury in. 

 “KNOCK IT OFF HE DID NOTHING TO YOU, ALLISON”, Diego yelled trying to help Stan, which clearly it wouldn’t work since she’s using her powers to make him forget to breath.

 She didn’t respond to his pleas, so he started to beg Stan to remember to breath. All in vain of course. 

 It was like someone blocked her feelings for others, only remembering her pain and suffering. She didn’t want to kill her nephew, she doesn’t want to do this. But If only someone felt her pain truly.

 She felt something hit her head from behind, she held her wound glaring behind her.

 Lila stood there ready to battle, frying pan in hand. Allison eventually Heard Stan’s wheezing stop and she quickly stopped.

 She didn’t want someone to feel her pain truly no one deserved it..  it was a thought.. but then she would have to watch someone go through that. She looked over to see Stan eventually cough a few times before breathing.

 “Don’t look at him. Look at me”, Lila growled, Allison only glared up at her. “Stop. I think you need to go, Allison”, Diego said not looking at her. 

 “Better yet we can go, I’m sure we can find-“, Before Lila could finish Allison pushed through and left the apartment. 

“If I see you again. I will kill you”, Lila called out in her oh so lovely voice.  Allison really needed to clear her head, her powers and all.

 She almost killed her own nephew, out of pain. Then she would have to live with herself knowing she did that. But she thinks he will be okay, hopefully.

It’s not like she has a right to know, but she is some what worried. 

He’s not the healthiest child ever, with way to many health problems one being just being his ears the others go more deep. 

  Maybe she shouldn’t come around anymore, stay away from her family and Solve her own problems and what not. 

 She can do this and with the discovery of her powers being a hell of a start.

Chapter 21: Uncle Klaus pt.1

Summary:

A story with Klaus and Stan with everyone else. Of course I’m writing one with more of a then POV but this is set after the ear piercing FF I made. You can find it in this series too.

Notes:

Still not sure of what I’m doing with this tbh. I’m working on a chapter update for multiple fanfics rn and One for my STD parents might come out tonight.. it’s a possibility. Comment and leave kudos if you want!

 Klaus likes to think of himself as The best uncle in the world, his niece and nephew think so. It must be true then, their opinions matter more to him then his brothers or sister's opinions.

 

   He really loves Niece and Nephew, and of course his soon to be born niece or nephew. He despises the thought of having a kid if his own, thats what so great about being an uncle. You get to be reckless, fun, and give them more freedom, some of which you really cannot do as a parent. Allison, Lila, and Diego have to make rules and teaching responsibilities to their children. But Klaus? He gets to teach Stan how to hot wire a car, steal valuable things, how to successfully pick a lock different ways.

 

  The best life lesson's come from him, at least he thinks so. Need advice that your parents would disapprove? Uncle Klaus to the rescue. 

 

  He is not always the.. most responsible. Of course, he's Klaus. No one see's him as anything but irresponsible. Which is what he deserves when he got his nephew's ears pierced knowing damn well Diego said no. But that's just who he is, The fun uncle for his nephew. Luther is to soft and well, to be honest, a snitch. He knows for a fact Luther has snitched on Stan and Klaus for doing dumb shit to Diego. 

 

  For instance, the one time Klaus let Stan watch a movie Diego said no too. Saying it was to inappropriate, scary, gives bad ideas, and that a 12 year old should not watch it.  Which is the dumbest shit Klaus heard, considering it was just a movie and they know that they seen worse in their early childhood. He reckons that Stan has seen and heard worse too. Maybe that is the reason Diego is trying to protect Stan from that.

 

 But Klaus is his uncle, so of course he has to show Stan the movie. Unfortunately Luther saw them watching it and then told Diego. Who got on Klaus's ass about it, not even in a good way either. Saying that he keeps doing shit behind his back and undermining his parenting. 

 

  Something about Stan not respecting rules and authorities. 

 

  Besides that's not even something Klaus thinks will happen, Stan's a rough kid, yeah. A little rebellious too, but he does respect his dad and mom. He doesn't do anything that would upset them to much or something he knows is to serious to actually do. ]

 

  But after the ear incident Stan and Klaus aren't aloud alone, which kind of hurts Klaus's feelings. They really think Klaus would actually let Stan do something that could possibly hurt him, getting his ears pierced is barley something to worry about.

 

 Now Klaus cannot do anything fun with Stan, because Viktor who is in charge of both of them will immediately stop it. What a party pooper, he might have gotten Stan a tattoo if they were left for to long.

 

  "Okay I'm bored", Klaus said after and hour of watching whatever  came out their crappy TV channels. Stan just doing whatever school work, looking just as bored as Klaus feels. Stan looks over to Klaus, "We should go do something".

 

 Klaus did not even get to say anything before Viktor is saying something. "Absolutely not. You are grounded and Well Klaus has no money to even go out", Viktor points out making both of them scowl for their own reasons.

 

  "I have a group of kids coming to learn the violin so I need both of you to be on your best behavior", He said sending pointed looks at Stan and Klaus. Klaus just waved his brother off, he won't do stupid shit to make Viktor send him and Stan to Stan's room.

 

  It's always annoying when Viktor teaches a younger kid, Stan's age and younger. Because first they are horrific Violin players . Secondly, they are either always complaining about something or their parents are. As if its Viktor's fault their kids can't play after thousands of dollars. 

 

  Which Klaus would like to rub in their faces that his nephew can play the drums, guitar, and a decent violin without anyone paying thousands of dollars. Mostly because Stan learned those instruments from his biological mom and the violin from a few lessons from Viktor.

 

    Stan and Klaus both had headphones on, Stan because his ears are extremely sensitive and Klaus has seen him sob if his ears hurt to much. And Klaus because no one wants to hear that horrible shit. 

 

 "You're getting better, Valerie", Klaus knows that's a lie, she was here last week sounding just as horrible as ever. Apologies to the kid, but Klaus isn't lying.

 

  "Thank you, Mr.Viktor", she said sweetly, Klaus has noticed she keeps staring at his nephew.. Oh, sweet young love. But she definitely doesn't want to be apart of this messed up family, everyone's murderous, crazy, some even have been in an asylum, cough Stan's parents. 

 

 Oh and of course, the threats she would get if she did date Stan and god forbid broke his heart. Way to much Crazy for her to handle. Or anyone normal. Everyone knows you are messed up if you can fit into The Hargreeve Family, Lila and Stan just blend in perfectly with everyone else.

 

  But that's all way ahead, all she did was look at him. But he didn't even seem to notice her at all. 100% into whatever he was doing on that tablet now, which Klaus did not steal back from Diego.. nope.

 

 Should he say something to Stan? Or let these kids figure it out themselves?  He isn't a love matcher or whatever you call it. No one in this family even has an actual healthy relationship, Maybe Five and his little manikin. Diego and Lila are not exactly the healthiest relationship either, yet they still some how go perfectly with each other.

 

  "Ok, your mom said she will be running a little late. Something about her Yoga class or whatever", Viktor said walking back in the room, the girl nodded and sat down on the very edge of the other couch.

 

  "Do you want something to eat, we have gold fish puffs that are gluten free", Viktor asked as the girl Valerie, Klaus thinks her name is. Shrugged, "i've never had goldfish of any sort", she admitted as Klaus gasped.

 

 "That's terrible, we must change that", Klaus said as he grabbed Stan's tablet. Probably was a bad idea to do, since now Stan was looking at him murderously. "What", Stan questioned when everyone was looking at him.

 

   "Come on let's show our guest how to party", Klaus said pulling a confused Stan up, Valerie simply blinked as she followed them into the small kitchen. Klaus could already feel her thoughts, something about how weird they are.

 

 I mean it's probably something she is not use too, most people who learn Viktor's expensive lessons are at least alittle above middle class. That is also something Klaus doesn't understand, where is all the money going from Viktor teaching kids violin?

 

  Everyone here, including Klaus has been pulling their money together to get a bigger place or a separate place for them all. It just feels like Viktor is stashing more money then he is giving which is not fair to Diego and Lila who are practically supporting everyone. Especially the three kids in their care, counting Five. Since they have to pretty much take him too. 

 

  Though Klaus is not going to accuse Viktor or say anything, its just strange after all. 

 

    About an hour passes, Stan and Valerie were talking and doing there own thing as Viktor and Klaus cleaned up the kitchen. "They are getting along well don't you think", Klaus asked looking over to see Viktor glancing in their direction.

 

 "Yeah looks like it", Viktor is slowly getting more distant these days, not engaging in anything. Or anyone for that matter. 

 

  Klaus Isn't surprised they really haven't done anything to win his favor, he wouldn't be shocked to see Viktor cutting everyone off. It would be upsetting but if that's what he wants no one can actually stop him.

 

 "Who's the girl Stan's talking too?", Lila asked walking into the kitchen, Klaus was a little startled to see Lila back earlier then usual. Usually she would get home later then even Diego, but it's odd to see her now.

 

 "One of Viktor's students", Klaus replied before Viktor, Lila sighed and nodded.

 

 "What are you doing back so soon?", Viktor asked ignoring them before, Lila scoffed, "it is my apartment, I can come and go as I please".

 

Lila rolled her eyes at the silence, "I left early, because Diego, Stan, and I will be leaving early in the morning".

 

  Both Viktor and Klaus noticed how it was only those three going who knows where.

 

 "Oh where you planning to go?",Klaus asked interested, since he already knows They don't ever leave the place for trips. Especially Lila being pregnant.

 

 "Picking up some baby furniture for cheap and looking at an apartment thing, which both are an hour or so away", Lila said taking the left over goldfish and eating some.

 

 Klaus already knows they are trying to find a three room place for them, since this apartment is two bedrooms and there's like 6 people here on and off of the couch.

 

 "You don't have to take Stan, I could babysit", Klaus offers already knowing Lila will most likely think about it and then ask Diego who would say no.

 

 "Personally I do think Stan would be fine with you, but you know how Diego is. He would rather drag Stan everywhere then leave him with someone", Lila said honestly, she clearly wasn't even trying to hide the face she disagreed with Stan getting his ears done.

 

 "Will he ever stop being mad about that?", Klaus asked, which both Viktor and Lila saying 'nope'.

 

 "Valerie and Stan would make a cute couple", Both Lila and Viktor look at him like he had grown to heads. "I'm just saying Stan's getting at the age", "-He's twelve", "-where he will start dating".

 

"Nope", Lila said shaking her head, "he's not going to start dating ever". 

 

 "I don't know they seem comfy in there", Klaus pointed out.  He's not saying that he is trying to get those two together. They would be cute friends too, since who knows who Stan will date when it comes time.

 

  Klaus mostly wants to mess around with Diego and Lila who will freak out if they see Stan 'dating' someone or whatever. 

 

 It's clear Stan isn't interested per say in relationships, no little boys usually are.

 

 "They aren't comfy. He doesn't even know her. Who even is that child", Lila said looking around the corner at them. She looked at the girl suspicious, which Klaus is probably the reason. 

 

  Oopsie, Klaus shrugs it off. Lila’s gonna hate anyone she wants anyway, even if it’s a kid.

 

Which may or may not be Stan’s little girlfriend or boyfriends he brings home. 

 

Klaus watched in amusement as Lila sprinted over there, making Stan and Valerie move apart so she could sit. 

 

 “Oh wow what are we talking about”, she said loudly making Stan side eye her about his sensitive ears. “About this game-“, the look that Lila gave made the girl immediately shut up. 

 

 “How fun, but don’t you think you two are a little close then you need to be”, Again interrupting both of them by pretty much pushing them apart. “Much better right?”, “No”.

 

  Lila and Stan seemed to be having a stare off, No one was actually sure what they were communicating through their eyes but clearly an argument.

 

 Eventually, for some odd reason, Stan rolls his eyes and scoots over. Making Lila smile and pat his head.

 

 “Valerie, you’re mom’s here. She asked me to walk you to the car outside”, Viktor said breaking apart whatever mess they are about to involve a random child in. The girl nods before looking back at Stan, “see you around”.

 

 “You aren’t seeing her around, you know that?”, Lila said once the door shut with a smile on her face. “Why not? She’s cool”, Stan said confused.

 

 “Because you can’t date till your 18”, Lila said simply, “plus you’re still grounded and you better bet I’m telling Diego”.

 

 Stan squawked offended, “that’s snitching”.

 

“No it’s actually parenting, which I am the best at”, Lila said with a grin. “Lame”, Stan grumbled.

 

 Let’s just say, Diego was not happy when learned about what happened. Stan can’t date till he’s 30, obviously. But he also doesn’t trust people at all no matter the age, so the fact she was casually hanging out with Stanley alone was a no go for him. 

 

  Klaus still Finds it funny how they both think that Klaus wouldn’t help Stanley with anything he could possibly help him with. 

Chapter 22: Uncle’s(+aunt) headcannon

Summary:

Stan and Claire may or may not cause fights in the family to get their uncles and aunt(s) to try to one up eachother with buying them things. Job accomplished.

Notes:

I suddenly remembered the sparrows then wrote them. Tell me if I should make them a separate chapter too.

• Viktor and Luther are the best people to watch Stanley, well that’s Diego opinion. But clearly Klaus and Five would be fun for the kid part of it. 
• Luther loves playing with Kids, he’s always had a dream of having a family of his own. But to be blunt.. Stan taught him he only likes the idea of it not the actual raising part because damn does that kid mess with everyone a little to much. 
• Being the great uncles they are and Father, while playing musical chairs at a child’s party it got.. violent. By violent i mean, All the Hargreeve’s were pushing each other to get on the chair. Yes Klaus did in fact push Stan on the ground to get the chair, Stan did punch Luther in the head to get in the chair too. They all got what they deserved fighting.
• that’s how they got banned from playing musical chairs, until they stop being competitive. Even Diego, did not set an example for his kid because he may or may not have dragged Stan out of the chair to win. Hargreeve siblings win.
• umbrella!Ben (if he lived;>) would be definitely be the uncle to teach Stan how to win fights using your Brian with plans.  Plus reading his niece and nephew different poetry and of course his favorite books.
• Umbrella Ben and or Sparrow Ben would also argue with Klaus about everything when they are left to babysit. The chaos of them being left alone with a child..
• Also Sparrow Ben would definitely duct tape Stanley to a chair while babysitting. Being a little annoying? Find the Duct tape.
•  Luther would definitely be the one to give the kids horsey rides, even though Stan purposely makes himself heavier (his mysterious ways) to see how long it would take before he went face down. Trying to be innocent when Luther does collapse.
• yes Diego is jealous that all the children including his own go to Luther for those. 
• Klaus and Stan have been arrested together, neither will talk about what happened but it involved a homophobe, an axe, two clown masks, rope, and 300 yards of Rope.
• so yes Klaus got his nephew a record at 12 years old. That’s the best kind.
• They take being uncle’s extremely seriously, so yeah they do have shirts like “best uncle” and one “best aunt”.
•  Allison once she’s finally happy, is a decent Aunt. She does take Stan and Claire places together because she also wants them to be close family too. Cousin bond or what not.
• The family does spend holidays together, including Sparrow Ben. It’s usually a mess with arguments, but that’s how every family time is.. so it just feels like home to them. 
• Outsiders looking in would be so confused, the amount of Uncles one child has. If you count the Sparrows too. Then their dysfunctional selves there too.
• Of course Stan has other uncles and Aunts With the sparrows. Alphonso, Christopher, And Marcus also consider themselves Stan’s uncles, so they do tend to ‘kidnap’ him from time to time. Stan also calls them and his aunts there too his Uncles and Aunts. Diego doesn’t appreciate that since he sees them sort of as the enemy or possible enemies.
• Jayme, Fei and sloane also take Claire and Stan with them to different places. 
• Are they all competitive about being uncles and aunts? yes. Sparrows Vs Umbrella’s trying to out due themselves. Stan and Claire are just casually watching them while being spoiled.  
• even with their age difference of some years, Stan and Claire are always getting up to something together. Which always involves getting their uncles and aunts to buy them something or take them somewhere.
• no ones caught onto them purposely causing their uncles and aunts to fight over who can do better… 
   

Chapter 23: No pets!

Summary:

Maybe it’s a no to cats, but what about dogs. (Mr.Pennycrums return??)

Stan was having a pretty good day out with his dad, just them two picking up groceries and such.

 

  Diego told Stan to wait in the car as he paid for gas, but Stan being the kid he was, saw something little go under a car next to him and had to investigate.

 

  He made sure Diego wasn't around to see him get out the car. He would definitely be in a lot of trouble if he did get caught, doing yet again another thing his dad told him not to do.

 

 It's not his fault Diego's lame and has no chill.

 

 Plus Stan knows he to cute to stay mad at, he really needs to milk his cuteness while it lasts. Soon enough he won't be able to get away from as much as he does now.

 

 Who is he kidding, he will stay cute forever.

 

  Stan shook his head at his side tracking thoughts, he got on his knees to look under the parked car to see what was under it.

 

  He was hoping it wasn't a skunk, or something. Because Diego would have a bigger hissy fit if he stunk and had to have a tomato bath.

 

 To his surprise and glee it was a tiny black kitten, the size of his palm. He made sure he saw no mama in sight before snatching the tiny thing up

 

 Was Diego going to let him keep the kitten? Probably not. That's why he had this genius plan to hide said kitten in his shirt.

 

 Was that his most thought out plan? Probably not if all the tiny mewls coming from his shirt.

 

 Diego can be dense, most days. But even he will notice this if Stan doesn't do something soon about it. 

 

 Stan kept petting the cat gently until he felt it calm down, still wrapped pretty much in his shirt. Diego was walking towards the car, just finishing up from paying for the gas.

 

 Stan watched as his dad made a quick check to see if he was still there. Once he saw Stan, he went to pump the gas.

 

   Stan was feeling nervous on how he was going to hide this account on their small apartment, there's people in it all day. Plus he is never alone in one room, always one of his uncles or his parents with him.

 

   Which usually he liked, he hated to be alone like that. But it made it much harder to hide things and sneak things in then it was when he lived with Trudy.   

 

 He needs a good plan, then a back up plan for when his 'good' plan fails him. 

 

 "You ready to go?", Diego asked once he entered the car, Stan nodded not really paying attention to him. Still tense about the cat in his shirt.

 

 Thought be is not sure why Diego asked him if he was ready to go as if he was doing something actively in the moment.

 

  Diego could be slow most of the time but come on now.

 

 "Why are you so quiet", Diego asked suspiciously after a good 10 minutes of silence. With Stan that was a record of some kind.

 

 "Uh I'm tired", Yup that's it, definitely not something to do with a cat..most definitely not.

 

 "Tired huh? I guess you'll have to sleep earlier tonight then", Diego replied with a smirk, making Stan glare at him.

 

   Because they both know he already goes to bed at 9pm, thanks to Diego reading a book on proper care of a child. You eat some pretzels at 3am and suddenly your bed time is hours before then your use too.

 

  They finally reached the apartment, Stan made sure He didn't look suspicious walking inside so fast. While making sure Diego was busy at the same time.

 

 He could feel the cat scratching him. Very unpleasant. 

 

 He scrambled away, practically racing Diego to get into the apartment. 

 

 Which as he guessed it, had someone in it. Though he wasn't worried to much about his uncle Klaus, who luckily isn't a snitch unlike some people.

 

 Hint, his Uncle luther and Uncle Viktor. 

 

 "Hey StanStan, Whatcha got there", Klaus asked noticing Stan was struggling to keep said Kitten in his shirt. 

 

  "Uh.. a smoothie?", Stan said nervously looking down at the smoothie in his hand. Secretly been waiting to see that, who knew they time would arise. 

 

 Before Klaus could ask more, Stan shushed him and ran to his own room.

 

 The door slammed shut behind him, he finally had some space to let the cat roam for a little bit.

 

 "Shut up, don't meow right now", Stan whispered, wondering why he was talking to the cat. Oh god, was this his version of Dolores?

 

 Should he... name the Kitten Dolores? It sort of matched the kitten in s weird way. 

 

Uncle Five couldn't complain about the cat if it was naked Dolores, right? 

 

 Seems pretty legitimate to Stan. 

 

  "Stanley, what are you doing?", He heard Diego ask through the door, Stan cursed his luck before reply. "I'm not feeling well... I want to.. rest?", Stan tried coming up with an excuse, but none actually came to mind. Diego already knows exactly what he eats now a days since that ONE time he kept eating things with Gluten to get attention.

 

 It was once, he's tired of It being held against him.

 

 "...Okay? Well.. I'll tell you when dinner is ready", Stan was glad this once diego wasn't questioning him like a criminal, since usually Diego didn't trust him to actually do what he's suppose to do.

 

 Stan can't blame him, because sneaking a cat in is the opposite of what he is suppose to be doing right now...

 

  It's not his fault, though. It's the kitten's fault for being so damn cute. Stan's always wanted a pet, a dog, cat, or even something small like a Fish. 

 

 Now he will have the cat as apart of his family one way or another.

 

 Now it's time for faze two of the plan, getting some food and water for the kitten. He can't have it starving on his watch.

 

  Sneakily he made his way out of his room, making sure to shut the door. 

 

  Diego was the only one in the kitchen, Stan didn't even know where Klaus went off to. Stan thought his plan was working, but unfortunately he got caught five seconds into trying to steal meat. 

 

  “I know you aren’t hungry, why do you want some bacon?”, Diego asked grabbing Stan’s hand, Stan froze up not really knowing how to reply.

 

 “What Are you up to, Hijo”, Diego asked a little more soft but still stern nonetheless. “Uhh.. Saving it for later?”, Diego’s eyes became slits.

 

Stan knew he had three options, one, Run for the hills with the cat. 2, be honest with Diego and tell him. 3, cry until Diego stops asking.

 

  “I know you are hiding something.. don’t think can get out of this conversation”, damn well then his first two options won’t work then…

 

 Option two it is, although Option one is much more appealing to him.

 

  “Um.. well you see…”, Stan tried to form words but ended up taking Diego to his room instead. Better show then tell, right?

 

 Diego and the cat looked at each other for a long time, Stan thought they might have been trying to out alpha the other. Which was weird because Diego is a grown man fighting a kitten.

 

 But eventually Diego leaned down to pluck the kitten off the grab, gently exclaiming it.

 

 “Where did you get a cat from?”, Diego asked softly After a moment, “it’s always been here”, Stan jokes.

 

  “Stanley”, Stan rolls his eyes at Diego, who couldn’t take a joke. “The gas station, under a car”, Stan eventually adds honestly.

 

 Diego looks at Stanley with a very fatherly look on his face, “we can’t keep the kitten”.

 

 “Why not?“, Stan challenges, it looked to him Diego likes the cat. “The apartment doesn’t allow pets and we don’t have the money or things for a cat”.

 

 “Why can’t you just.. I don’t know, put it as an emotional support pet?”, Stan asked, Diego sighed a bit. Petting the cat, “because even if it was.. we still don’t have the money”.

 

 Diego seemed to notice Stan’s anger, because he paused slightly. 

 

 “We’ll look for a good home for the cat, but a few days with us couldn’t hurt”, he offered, which Stan knew was the only way to actually have a cat.

 

 He wanted to argue but he can tell when Diego is seriously not going to do something. Plus logically it made sense, it did, but childishly Stan wanted to throw a tantrum.

 

 Instead though, “Can I name it?”. Diego looked at him as it he was thinking about something, then he seemed to check the cats gender before nodding. 

 

 “It’s a girl and yes, ONLY for now”, Diego saidx emphasizing the world ‘only’. 

 

 “Okay.. Her name shall be Dolores”, Diego blinked at the suggestion, before closing and shutting his mouth. 

 

 Suddenly Diego laughed hard for a moment before nodding, “Yes.. Her name will be Dolores”.

 

 Stan cheered, as Diego said lowly so Stan wouldn’t hear although he did. “I can’t wait to introduce Five to her”.

 

  

Notes:

Still making these yeah and still making them daily. None or my other chapters were done so I wrote this which cams up to be longer then I meant. Mr.pennycrumb will return as many suggested, don’t worry.

Chapter 24: More worry

Summary:

More Stan and Diego! Diego worries at being a parent. Plus 2 mini chapters in one! Lila’s pov too.

   "Ow that hurts, dude", Stan whined, Diego simply shook his head in disbelief.

Because he literally told Stan not to pierce his ears yet, did he listen? Nope. Did he get grounded? Definitely. But now this is another thing Diego has to take care of, clean two parts of his ears.

  Because sure Stan can clean his ears out on his own and drain them.. but usually he does a half ass job when he's lazy. So Diego ends up doing it, now the smell doesn't even effect him.

So yeah, now Diego has to drain and clean his ears.

Also of course changing his earrings when it came time had to be a Diego thing. He refuses to trust Stan not to leave them to get infected.

"You're pulling to hard", Stan complained again, this is why we listen to our parents. Unless your father is like Reginald Hargreeves you listen to him.

  "Well if you were spinning then like you are suppose to, this wouldn't be happening, cariño", Diego said exasperated trying to help him. Though he kept moving and squirming the entire time, Diego was so close to calling luther to hold him down for him.

I mean it wouldn't be the first time, there's that one time Stan wouldn't let anyone remove his splinter so Luther held him down as Diego pulled. Then there's also that one time Stan started CHOKING on whatever he was eating and everyone had a flip out and each one failing the Heimlich maneuver. Then Luther punched him in the back and almost broke his back bones but he did save him.

  Though the little ass being stanley, complained about them hurt his bones and insides.. like damn they were trying to save him.

Which of course scared the shit out Diego, then once everyone was out of breath.. he started to eat the same food he was choking on???

Stan's going to kill them all before his sibling even comes along.

  It took all Diego's self control not to pass out on the needle of the earring, then there's the fact he had to PUT it in his Son's ears.

Which he did, making sure Stan's ears weren't hurting then sending him off to do what he was doing.

  Yeah... Diego's not getting his ears or anything else pierced again.. he just can't handle that.

Diego would also like to point out five is a control freak about literally anything involving his family. He will insult anyone outfit and tell them to change before they embarrass him so when Stan got his ears pierced, Diego thought he would be pissed off.

Because he thought it would ruin his little vibe, but apparently he didn't care much about it. Shook his head that Stan didn't listen to the adults but said he liked them anyways.

Which did not help Diego's case, he said no. Which Luther poked fun at him that he was also rebellious when he was young and even moved at before he was 18..

Stan can be as rebellious as he wants, Diego will keep grounding him until he learns. But no way in hell is Stan moving out at 17 like Diego. He can move out when he is Like 25, something like that.

Diego learned the hard way not to move out without a plan and help, living place to place then at Al's gym. Stan can learn the easier way or Diego telling him.

See Diego would have loved a father like himself, he is still waiting for his thanks from Stan. Though he doubts Stan see's him getting grounded as something positive.

    Stan is constantly giving everyone heart attacks too, with him doing dumb shit contentiously. With not properly taking care of his ears and having to be reminded, to losing every medication he needs for his day to day life.  Then there is his thing for danger and not even having powers to help him out either.

  Diego is so close to buying one of those kid leashes, because just the other day Stan ran into traffic following a stray dog and almost got hit if Five didn't pull him back. Stan of course had the nerve to be pissed off he could not save the damn dog. This isn't even the first time he's done something like that. Once he went missing or got lost, Diego's not sure, but it was at a crowded mall and everyone searched for a soiled three hours until he popped up and asked them where they were.  

   So yeah a leash is currently in his amazon shopping cart.

 

   The mall incident:

  Diego, Lila, Stan, and the others being Diego's brothers went to the mall to grab some things they needed for the apartment. Also, Klaus wanted to look around the mall so he dragged everyone out. Its not like any of them could afford any of the clothes at the mall, especially on the budget they set. 

  Now they all were here walking around looking, Diego keeping Stan close not just because of the crowds, more because he keeps stealing things. Anything he could possibly get his hands on, he will take. Its like his little "quirky thing", as he likes to call it. Mostly trying to make an excuse to get out of getting in trouble for it. 

  At some point, they went into one of those baby stores. Diego bought a few things, some clothes Stan liked for his younger sibling. But when Diego turned around after paying, Stan was no where in sight.

 "Lila, did you seen Stan walk passed?", He asked when he saw her looking at different baby brands in confusion. "No, I thought he was with you", Diego exclaimed getting worried, "You lost our kid?", she asked pissed off.

  "I literally turned around for one minute and he's gone", Diego said looking in the clothing racks just in case. "Goddamn it, Diego", Lila said following him out to look for Stanley.

  "Maybe you should stay over here in this area in case he comes back", Lila nodded with a sigh, "He couldn't have gone that far, we will follow him", Diego said to calm her nerves or well both of theirs.

Diego searched high and low for Stan, everywhere that he could have possibly went. Diego was starting to think the kid got klublized or whatever.

How far could he have possibly gone? The answering being extremely far. Diego under estimated that kid, unfortunately now it involved not being able to find him.

It was starting to stress him the fuck out, it wasn’t just one small store he’s lost his kid in. No it’s a huge place with tons of small stories and people.

He’s extremely anti social, he doesn’t want to have to be asking people where his own kid went.

What if he got kidnapped and they didn’t notice? What if he’s dead as they speak??? What if he’s lost or scared somewhere. What does Diego do in this situation?

“Hey Diego, what are you doing?”, Luther asked confused when he saw Diego looking under a bench.

“I lost Stan and we can’t find him anywhere”, Luther’s smile dropped as he looked at Diego dumbfounded, “How do you lose a twelve year old?!”.

Look Diego doesn’t know, the kid got himself lost.

“I don’t know! He’s was There.. t-then h-he’s”, Diego couldn’t stop stuttering so he just did a ‘poof’ expression with his hands.

“Okay.. well I’ll help look around”, Luther said before jogging off to search the other stores.

Diego didn’t think he would ever find Stan, after three hours he got a text from Lila to meet up in the middle of the mall by the fountain.

“So nothing?”, Five asked taking a look at all their expressions. Each person shook their head, Diego took a deep breath. “Are we going to ask the staff?”, Viktor asked, clearly concerned for his nephew.

Diego and lila looked at each other with anxiety, what if CPS holds that against them? Losing your kid really doesn’t look on their papers does it.

“What’s everyone making a plan for?”, Everyone looked over with stunned expressions, at Stan just standing there with a slushee.

Diego was the first to react hitting him in the back of the head before hugging him tight. “Where the hell have you been?”, Lila asked clearly relieved but still pissed.

“Over there”, Stan points to the arcade, which Diego completely forgot existed and is the exact place Stan would be.

“You can’t just run off without telling anyone”, Diego said, everyone making noises of agreements. “Oh okay”, Stan replied not caring at all.

“Let’s go, lecture your child later. I for one, would like to take my afternoon nap”, Five said like the old man he was.

Diego agreed with him, he definitely WOULD be lecturing Stan about this in private.

For now though, he just took Lila and Stan’s hands and walked with his family.

Street incident:

Lila wouldn’t say she had anger issues, per say. Just that inanimate objects has this way of pissing her off.

So yes she was fighting a trunk to close, you would it would close after all the cussing she did at it.

They were trying to go on this one vacation, their first ever together. A road trip with 12 people, Diego, Stan, Viktor, Klaus, Dave, Luther, Solane, Five, Allison, Patrick, Claire and herself. Ben not wanting anything to do with it of course.

It’s a lot of luggage in one car, but not everyone is going in the same car or they would need a bus. Still who is putting their entire life in one bag??

Stan was casually playing on his game while sitting on the side walk, so Lila thought it could be a good time to lit a cigarette. Which Diego kills her when she tries- but Stan and her cover each other’s asses a lot of the times.

She didn’t however see Stan get up and chase a stray down the side walk and eventually into the street.

The extremely busy streets.

“STANLEY”, She dropped her cigarettes at the voice of Five screaming. Just in time did she see Both Stan, a dog, and a car go out at the same time.

She froze in the spot, knowing she wasn’t able to get to him from her spot. Her heart dropping at the sight, being prepared to run out after.

But then the hit never came, as Five grabbed him a split second before the truck zoomed by.

Asshole didn’t even stop his car for any of it, just kept on going not caring if anyone was okay.

Lila ran over to the two and threw her arms over their shoulders to bring them into a tight hug.

“You idiot, are you ok?”, She asked Stan, who was focused on the puppy in his arms. Five and Lila seemed relieved at the fact he could care so less, because that could have gone way worse.

“Can we keep the dog”, Stan asked after they got back on the side walk, Lila holding his arm. “Stan”, she said In a very disapproving mom voice that made Five snicker.

“Glad both of you are okay..you however”, She said pointing to Stan, “are going to explain just what happened a minute ago to your father”.

Despite Stan’s whines and complaints she dragged him to where Diego was. He was much better at punishments and the stern part of parenting.

She just hates being stern and strict, or sounding like her mom. She knows it’s the same for Diego too, but Stan needs one of them to set him on the a good path.

Notes:

School starts in less then a week:”) so I have to produce these chapters faster before that happens. Or else my daily updates won’t happen 😭 happy august though!

Chapter 25: Tablet kid

 "Has anyone seen Stan? I thought he was down here eating but I can't find him", Diego exclaimed looking around, Klaus only shrugged. 

 

  "Haven't seen your delinquent  anywhere today, you've had him what a day? And He's already missing tsk tsk", Diego rolled his eyes and fought the urge to punch Klaus as he looked around. 

 

   "Yo you've seen Stanley anywhere?", Diego asked when he saw Five at the bar drinking whatever he does these days.

 

  "Great parenting, Diego. Losing your kid in a day, that has To be a record", Five said sarcastically, is anyone in his family Not s total dick? 

 

  "Can you just tell me if you've seen him or not?", Diego growled getting more pissed off by the minute, Five only sighed rolling his eyes. "Fine I saw him and Luthor walking up stairs earlier", Five answered before turning back to his drink. 

 

  "What the hell were they doing together?", Diego asked with a pissed off expression, Five gave him an annoyed look. 

 

  "Why don't you go ask them, Diego. I am trying to have my retirement here", Five answered aggressively before shooing Diego off. 

 

  Diego eventually found Luthor laying down on his bed, on his phone. Wait.. since when did Luthor have a phone? 

 

  "Where is Stanley, Luthor", Diego asked snatching Luthor's phone out of his hand. 

 

  "Diego give me my phone back", Luthor demanded jumping up ready to battle his brother for whatever he was doing.

 

  "Answer my question, where is Stanley?", Diego demanded Luthor before his brother gave an annoyed look, "He's in the other room, I thought it might be a bad idea to let a kid roam around so i gave him something to keep him distracted".

 

  Diego looked interested on what kept that brat busy, because he wants to know how to keep Stan from being annoying and in his way. 

 

  When he checked on Stanley, the kid was just sitting on the couch clearly hypnotized by the tablet in his hands.

 

  So that's all It took to make Stanley stay in one place a tablet? 

 

  Why hasn't he thought of this before? This could have been very, very helpful. 

 

 For Diego, this confirmation is all he needs to leave Stanley be. Though it bothers him in a way, he doesn't know why though. 

 

  Why the hell does Luthor have to metal with his kid? His responsibility like that. As If he wasn't able to take care of Stan himself. 

 

 "See I told you he's distracted. I read on a blog about something called 'IPad kids' If you aren't careful about screen time but I think it'll be fine", Luthor said as Diego's mind went blank, "you went on a what mom blog to see ways to take care of my kid?".

 

  "Diego, look I know you want to take 'responsibility' for your kid.. but you Are not ready for a child to take care of. Stanley needs Someone well put together to take care of him", Luthor started as Diego got more and more pissed off. 

 

  Diego grabbed Luthor's shirt, "you think I can't take care of Stan? That it has to be you on you to raise him and be the well put person".

 

  Diego growled when Luthor pushed him off, "Well Luthor, you aren't exactly well put together either. I don't even know what's going on with you"

 

  "Im getting my life together and making my place in the world. I'm just trying to look at for My family. Including my nephew", Luthor Said as he braces himself for Diego to punch him.

 

  But he doesn't do so, he just glared as he walked towards where Stanley was. Because who the hell told Luthor to even interact with the kid?

 

  Though he’s not going to get mad, no. He’s going to stay calm and collected in front of Stan. Going to show everyone, he is changing into something more… parental? Fatherly?

 

 Either way, Diego IS trying to be better for Stan. Since now apparently thanks to Lila, he’s raising a child. 

 

 It’s not exactly… something he thought he was doing. But Stan’s not as bad as he could be, since he is related to Hargreeve’s after all

 

 Luther and his number one bullshit still has him pissed off though, Luther thinking he is better then everyone else. Some type of cult leader bull.

 

 Well Diego, is Stan’s father not Luther. So at least he has that against Luther trying to ‘help’.

 

   “Stan”, Diego called multiple times, Either Stan was ignoring him or to occupied to even act like he heard him. Diego snapped his fingers in his face until Stan eventually look up at him confused. 

 

 So it was the latter.. good to know.

 

 “Yeah?”, He asked, Diego pulled Stan up to his feet against his complaints of being busy. “Didn’t you want to learn how to fight? Come on then…”, Stan immediately brightened up putting the tablet down following Diego.

 

 Did Diego just agree to spend time with his kid because he didn’t want Stan to like Luther more then him?.. hm… still being processed. 

 

 Diego is not petty, ok? But if he can do something  that will help himself out and hurt someone else then he will do it. For sure.

 

Luther be damned with his.. gorillaness? Trying to make Stanley dislike him. By giving the child a tablet, which DIEGO DID NOT APPROVE. 

Notes:

Written on July 10th and been in my drafts ever since. Since I didn’t feel like writing something brand new again, I went with one of my saved ones Already adding a quick ending;)

Chapter 26: Internet safety

Summary:

Go do something that doesn't involve the internet or murder or anything illegal".

"But that's all I know how to do!", Stan exclaimed, with a defeated sigh.

Diego just wants a nap.

Notes:

Another old one I wrote a while back. July 10th again, sort of a pt.2 to the other one I posted. Needed something to post for the day after I was at my schools orientation and shopping tonight.

Stan did not make things easy at all, earlier the two of them plus Klaus were headed to the dining room and Stan just had to ask a question. 

 

  The kid doesn't know how to shut his mouth does he? 

 

   Stan's question made Diego freeze and Klaus laugh loudly and obnoxiously. Why didn't anyone warn Diego about children asking whatever comes to mind. 

 

  "It's... it's not something you need to worry about right now. Or ever...Why do you uh want to know?", Diego asked stopping in front of Stan, making both of them stop.

 

  "I was looking at a video online, I don't know what it's called thought. I think.. Tik Tok?", Stan replied as Diego's mind went blank. 

 

  When the hell did Stanley get access to the internet? 

 

  Also what kind of videos what this kid watching for that to ever come up????

 

 "Who gave you access to the internet?", Diego asked grabbing Stan before he could run off, He just blinked up at Diego as if he had no clue what he was talking about. 

 

 "Luthor let me use his tablet", Stan replied as Klaus was wheezing in the background, "Goddamn Luthor", Diego muttered under his breath. 

 

  "Stan the man, why didn't you just Google it", Klaus asked when he finally stopped wheezing. Stanley looked like he hadn't thought of that. 

 

  Diego smacked both Klaus and Stan on the head, "you", Diego pointed to Klaus, "don't give him ideas and you", Diego pointed to Stan. "Just... no more Google, tik tak, or anything that i don't know about", Stan looked like he was going to argue. 

 

  But Diego had a bright idea, "How about we ask Uncle Luthor?".  Stan looked suspicious but shrugged as Diego dragged him off to wherever Luthor was. 

 

   "Ah Diego, good to see you man", Luthor said  in his new happy voice, which was weird to Diego. Because what the hell is going on with everyone? 

 

  "Stanley here", Diego pulled Stan's arm up as if to emphasize Stan's existence, "has a question for his uncle". 

 

  Luthor's happy face fell as soon as Stan asked the question, his face said 'oh shit' in so many ways. 

 

  Diego and Luthor made eye contact, Diego hoped Luthor understood his eyes saying he was going to kill him. 

 

  "Buddy... you don't have to know about that right now", Luthor says Weakly making Stan look even more questionably at them. 

 

  Luthor looked like he was going to faint, "why won't anyone answer My question? Dad said you would answer it".

 

  Luthor stuttered a bit, before looking helplessly at Diego. Who just crossed his arms with a raised brow. 

 

  "Next time, Luthor. Talk to me before you let Stanley online", Luthor nodded at Diego but he really didn't see why Diego had a problem with him letting Stan online for a minute.

 

  Sure he asked.. some interesting questions. But it doesn't mean he shouldn't be online in the real world.

 

  It was 101 in a blog Luthor came across, he had a bit of time that he thought he was use to help Diego out with parenting. 

 

 Because let's be honest, none of them are meant to be parents. Especially Diego, though he hates to say it. 

 

  "Stan go wait outside", Diego ordered as he gently pushed Stan towards the door, "Why?", Diego just sent him a look that screamed just do IT. 

 

  "I'm glad we understand each other, but Luthor. If you ever do that again and put me in that position I will cut you into pieces and send those pieces to the moon", Diego said darkly with a glint in his eyes. 

 

  Luthor nodded a bit, taking a step back from his blood thirsty brother. Who just patted his shoulder before walking out. 

 

  So initially that's how Diego ended up sitting next to Stan on a tablet. Monitoring whatever Stan clicks, only a few times did Diego take the tablet and click out of the thing Stanley shouldn't be doing. 

 

  "do you have do that?", Stan asked annoyed."Yes. Because the internet is no place for children unsupervised. You See all those kids online acting a fool, it's because they don't have someone as good as me watching them". 

 

  Stan just rolled his eyes, "Oh come on, what's the worse thing I can do on here?". Diego sent him a look, before replying.

 

   "Oh Trust me, if your anything like me then  alot", Diego replied, because he knows if he had the internet as a kid...it would just go horrible.

 

 Diego knows Luthor thinks bad of his parenting already, which pisses him off because how is he a bad dad when he hasn't been able to be one yet? 

 

  "Wait... i have another question", Stan said making Diego groan. Nope, that's It no more internet today.

 

  "No you don't", Diego said before walking away, circling to grab the tablet. Time to but some restrictions really fast before that. "Go do something that doesn't involve the internet or murder or anything illegal".

 

 "But that's all I know how to do!", Stan exclaimed, with a defeated sigh.

 

"I'm sure you can find something to do", Diego said in a very fatherly voice, Stan just glared at him. Before seemingly stopping himself saying something Diego probably would get pissed at.

 

Stan being himself didn't just NOT reply with a sassy reply, "Then actually give me more money and stop being a tight ass". 

 

 "I'm not a tight ass, kids don't need more then 8 dollars", Diego said in an offended tone, how dare this little shit. "Sure. Because that's how much you had as a kid", Diego really couldn't argue there. But did he look like a billionaire?

 

  "You can have this back once I child proof it, however you do that", Diego mumbled the last part, he still has no idea how to work anything like that.

 

 Klaus calls Five and him the boomers of technology whatever that means.

 

 “Hey Cindy how do you child proof a tablet?”, Diego asked his phone, who rudely wasn’t answering him. Even though it answered everyone else. 

 

 “HEY CINDY. I COMMAND YOU TO WORK”, Diego yelled Making Stan look at him incredulously. “Her name isn’t Cindy, it’s clearly Sammy”, Stan replied as Diego shook his head.

 

 “That doesn’t sound right….”, Diego said looking down at it, “Wait a minute DONT help me child proof this”.

 

 “You don’t even know how to use it at all so I don’t think it matters”, Stan pointed out earning a slap to the back of the head.

 

 “OW YOU ASS”, He yelled, getting another one for cussing.

 

 After a solid hour of yelling out, ‘Cindy’, ‘Sarah, ‘Emmy’, ‘Mary’, ‘Susie’, ‘Sari’ and more. Klaus eventually came in annoyed talking about it being called ‘Siri’ or some bullshit.

 

 Diego just wants to make Stan take a nap, so he could also take one. 

 

  

Notes:

Thanks for sticking around, series will most likely be ending when it hits chapter 32 which I already have a lot of chapters to make that too. I keep expanding it but who knows. Loveee youu.

Chapter 27: Baby Stanley pt.1

Summary:

Stan immediately calmed down in her arms, Diego wasn’t sure if it was he wanting to be held in general or he wanted a woman to hold him.

Was his own son sexist against him???

Notes:

Part two coming soon, or another little mini series coming. Tell me your thoughts and ideas while reading;) also been in my drafts for a long bit.

Having a baby was never apart of Lila's plan, but apparently the universe has a different plan.

 

  Or whatever shit people say.. She barley had time to even come up with a plan to get Diego into the fold. 

 

 But popping out a baby in 1989 was not a good experience... now that she thinks about it. She just had a baby on the same year Diego was born. 

 

 She was so out of it when she first had her baby, a baby boy she named Stanley. 

 

  The nurse told her she would connect with her baby soon, but she feels like she's never going too. That she's to like her adoptive mother to love her child.

 

  So when he was six months old she decided he should meet his father. She shouldn't have to do this alone, even though she knows it's her fault he isn't here.

 

 The moment Diego saw her she felt her heart snap. Because she did not come to be with him, as much as she wanted.

 

  She came for a break from Stan, because if she couldn't get one she might just give him up for adoption.

 

 Maybe she should have, maybe he should have a normal life without his two screw up parents. 

 

 But then again to super powered people having a baby, has to lead to some powers. So Stan's screwed either way with powers.

 

  "Lila, you came back", Diego said as soon as he caught up with Lila, she didn't want to do this anymore.

 

 But she already came this far, so this has to happen.

 

  "I'm just doing a drop off", Lila replied, making Diego look confused.

 

  "Of what?" Diego asked nervously, Lila rolled her eyes and and went over to the car seat she left off to the side and picked it up.

 

  Diego's face fell into shock, Lila would laugh if this wasn't so depressing.

 

 "Meet Stanley, Your son", Lila said handing him a car seat before grabbing her briefcase and walking off.

 

  "Wait Wait Wait.. this is a joke right?", Lila looked down at Diego hand on her arm, and rolled her eyes.

 

 "That your boys swim fast? Yeah jokes on me there. Bye stanley be good for mommy", She said before getting into the elevator.

 

  Diego looked down at the baby currently snoozing away, not even realizing his mother left him with a stranger.

 

 Shit indeed, why did Lila have to do this to him?? No talking through anything, just simply leaving a little baby with him. 

 

  “So wait that’s your baby and Lila’s?”,  Klaus asked shocked looking down at the baby, who still was sleeping away. Diego doesn’t know if that’s something to be worried about or something to be glad about.

 

 “Yes.. she just left him here. Isn’t that ridiculous?”, Diego complained again putting his head on the table. “Awe Diego Jr. so cute”, Klaus cooed at the baby making Diego glare. 

 

 “His name is Stanley”, Diego said with a frown, the kid didn’t really look like his name should be named Stanley. But whose is he to question what Lila named her (our?) baby.

 

  As if to answer the mention of his name, Stan opened his eyes. He seemed to take in everything he immediately sobbing as if he was being chased by a murderer. 

 

 “Uhh Klaus do something”, Diego said hitting Klaus’s shoulder, “your the dad you do something”, Klaus snapped back.

 

 Both of them started bickering which seemed to lead the baby to scream even more. Making Chet glare at them.

 

  “What the hell is happening over here?”, Allison asked looking at both of them with a pissed of look.

 

 “Make Diego’s spawn stop screaming”, Klaus said covering his ears, Allison looked shocked looking down at the crying baby then at Diego. 

 

 Allison rolled her eyes at the men before bending down, gently taking the baby out of the car seat.

 

 “It’s okay, love. I know those idiots are insufferable”, Allison said softly ignoring both of her brother’s offended ‘heys’.

 

Stan immediately calmed down in her arms, Diego wasn’t sure if it was he wanting to be held in general or he wanted a woman to hold him.

 

 Was his own son sexist against him???

 

 He has to admit in a way.. Stan’s a cute baby. Compared to all those ugly baby’s out there in the world. 

 

Diego also has to admit this is his child.. Stan looks a lot like him in a weird way. Not so much Lila, but he definitely could see himself in there.

 

  “Whose the mom?”, Allison asked looking at Diego, though Klaus Answers instead.”Lila. The one who tried to kill us”, Klaus said calmly.

 

 Allison looked at Diego with a ‘I’m disappointed in you’ look before looking back at the baby. Which was pretty rude, Diego must say.

 

  “Where’s the baby’s food?”, Allison asked them, they both just looked at each other. “We have some food right here”, Diego pointed out showing her the food.

 

 Allison sent both of them an annoyed look, “Did Lila give you a bag of some sort?”, Allison asked shaking her head.

 

 Diego nodded kicking a bag towards her, Allison just sighed not even looking at him.

 

 “Pull out the formula”, She commanded, to which Klaus pipes in, “Why do we need math right now?”. 

 

  “Ok, take the formula and a bottle and put some in it”, Allison tries to instruct Diego, she loves her brothers but they are so dense.

 

 “You know what hold the baby”, she said watching him fail, she made Diego take the baby very tensely too.

 

 “Just support him, while I make this”, Allison mumbled trying to go quickly so that Stan wouldn’t cry or Diego wouldn’t. 

 

 “So how’s life?”, Diego asked the baby awkwardly, Stan simply blinked at him. Clearly ready to have another melt down, Diego feels the same way.

 

 “Ok here”, Allison said taking the baby to feed him, she seemed more at ease now with the baby then she had earlier. Diego didn’t know if it was a bad or good thing in the Long run.

 

 “When’s Lila coming back?”, Klaus suddenly asked looking at Stan and Allison. “She didn’t say. I hope soon”, Diego mumbles sitting down. 

 

  God diego really hopes she comes back before the days over, he can’t deal with a baby. Alone. 

Chapter 28: Drummer boy.

Summary:

Mini chapter- Stan teaching Luther the drums.

Notes:

I haven’t written in a few days I’ve been using old drafts trying to get them good enough to post them😭😭 my 2hr day is tomorrow for school and I’m struggling. This weekend my plan is two write a bunch of things to post on here and STD parents. This is an old story too one of my first from July. Also side note this was suppose to be longer but who has the time? Not me.

 "Are you trying to play the drums?", Stan asked when he saw well more like heard Luther's awful playing skills.

 

 "Yeah.. it's going awful. I heard Sloane likes the drums so  i wanted to show off my skills", Luther admitted making Stan look at him blankly.

 

  "You have no skills to show off", Stan said with snark. Making Luther just glare at him.

 

  "You try playing them, it's not as easy as it looks", Luther said hanging him the sticks, Stan shrugged.

 

  He hasn't played since before Lila came along, but he hates plating anyways. His mom would ask him to play all the time since he was the best drummer she claimed.

 

  More of an excuse to have a free Drummer, which Stan didn't care because he already got money from her for other things. 

 

  So Stan showed off his skills, making Luther gape like a fish. 

 

  Everyone already knows he comes from the 80s and his real mom being a rockstar. Of course he knows how to play The Drums and bass guitar. Along with many others just those to Being the main two.

 

  "Wait where did you learn to do that?", Luther asks with shock when his nephew finishes. "My mom is a rockstar, of course I know how to play the drums", Stan replied simply.

 

  "Can you teach me your ways?", Luther asks when Stan attempts to walk away. "It's going to cost you", Luther nodded grabbing his wallet.

 

  "60 each lesson you take, 20 extra if you want to learn multiple songs", Stan explained his prices, Luther seemed confused.

 

 "Multiple lessons? Can't I do it one?", Luther asks making Stan look at him like he was an idiot. Which he was.

 

 "Unless you're some kind of genius, which I assure you, you aren't", Stan replied taking the 60 dollars from his uncle and sitting down to teach.

 

  "Here... the simplest song for you. The one I learned and you'll need to learn. Take notes", Stan showed him how to play it simply, hoping the idiot would follow along.

 

  Which he did not... it was all just noises. Hitting random parts of the drum to make noises. Stans like 50% sure he hit the bottom of the drums instead of the top.

 

  "Stop stop..you don't just hit random parts randomly. It needs to at least match the song", Stan said taking the sticks.

 

 "Now go slowly before you try to go fast, once it becomes natural you can go faster", Stan's getting a headache now because Luther keeps doing the same thing over and over.

 

  "I'm going to hit you in the head every mistake you make", Luther just glared but tried to keep doing what Stan instructed.

 

  He hit one wrong thing and Stan hit him in the head. It didn't hurt but it was annoying, that's what he gets for hiring a 12 year old.

 

 “Ok again”,  Stan said hitting him once again, this happened for an hour before Diego interrupted the pair. 

 

  “What the hell is happening, I’ve been looking all over for you”, Diego said looking at Stanley, Luther grinned at Diego.

 

 “I learned to play the drums thinks To Stan wanna hear?”, Diego looked confused at them but nodded. Luther didn’t play to bad, Stan thinks. For the few hours he learned, luckily he picked it up.

 

 “It was….good? Since when can you play the drums?”, Diego asked Stan who shrugged. He was full of surprises as people would call it. 

 

  “I just know I guess”, he kept most details out because it would mess with Lila’s story and thing she drug him into.

 

Diego still didn’t a  chance to ask as Luther collapse into the drum set. When Diego looked at him he shrugged again. 

 

Maybe he hit him a little to hard….

Chapter 29: Mr.Pennycrumb

Summary:

Stan dognaps a dog, then agrees for a snack.

Notes:

Mini chapter once again 🙄🙄 I was to busy to write something new so I am posting an unfinished one. Gonna have to do that until I’m done with this fanfiction one and post on STD parents until it’s done;)

Stan was beyond bored, Diego was off doing whatever the hell He did with Aunt Allison at night. Stan's guessing he goes fighting, like a real lunatic.

Not surprising though, they all are crazy. Lila included.

So when he saw that stupid dog from the front wandering around, he thought it could be some fun to play with the dog.

"psspsp, come here doggy", the dog just plopped right down. Stan got bored quickly of the dog, he wasn't like the dogs he had always seen being playful growing up.

He always wanted a dog or a cat, but his mom said no. Since they were on the road every month or so. Plus she didn't want to have the responsibilities of being a pet owner. Even though Stan always does the most work.

Though now.. he had a Chance to have one. For a little while, since really technically he's on his own here. Diego isn't much of anything, besides making him do random shit to keep out of the way and to know where he is.

So Mr.Pennycrumb you are coming home with him today. Even if all you do is sit and bark at everyone.

Lucky for him the dog didn't bite him as he carried him through the halls, unlucky for him that Diego was coming down the same hallway as him.

   "Why do you have The Clerk's Dog, Stan?", Diego askes looking at both of them disapprovingly. 

"His name is Mr.Pennycrumb and he likes me", Stan said in a matter-of-fact way, making Diego roll his eyes. "Go put it back", he responded.

"No it's to late, we already have an connection", Stan said holding the dog closer as Diego walked closer to them. "Yes. That his Chad", "-Chet", "-'s dog and we do not steal people's dogs".

"It's not his if it's mine", Rubbed his eyes, before attempting to grab the dog which snarled at him.

"IT'S FERAL STAN. PUT IT DOWN BEFORE YOU GET RABIES", Stan snickered at Diego holding his hand all Offended.

"He just doesn't like you", Stan said making Diego scowl, "I'm telling Lila", he stalked off to do so.

Stan rolled his eyes and walked back the way he was going. When Diego gets fed up he stomps to Lila to make Stan do things that he won't.

Which of course makes Stan laugh, since Lila will literally be in a robe yelling at him in German to listen to his 'dad '.

"Ok Mr.Pennycrumb", Stan said sitting the dog down, "roll over", The dog just blinked at him laying down.

"Ok... rude, first of all. Secondly, shouldn't you know how to do this you're clearly not a puppy", Stan frowned as he kept telling the dog to do tricks. Which it wouldn't do at all.

"Stanley, Geben die Hund Rücken", Lila told him opening the door a bit, clearly snitched on from Diego.

"Nein, warum? Er war wandern überall", Stan replied with a whine, showing her the dog plopped on the ground.

"Stanley", she warned in a motherly way, a mother trying to discipline kid. Which neither were even a mother-son duo. Sure she had been taking care of him for the past few months, but if he called everyone mom or dad that helped take care of him..he would many sets of parents.

"Fine. Hes no fun anyway", He replied looking down at the dog, who turned his head to the left.

"I'll just get a new puppy", Lila scoffed at that. "Trudy wouldn't let you have a pet, Sohn", he shrugged at her. "Maybe. Maybe not, only one way to find out though", Lila looked a little hesitate being nodding.

"Fine ok. Before I take you home We can stop by a pet store", She promises, Stan looked at her skeptically. Since Lila never made him promises. "Fine. But I want a snake", Stan said picking up the dog.

"Okay but you are feeding it live rats I hope you know that", Lila said ruffling his hair on the way out. "Deal".

Chapter 30: Ojos de ángel

Summary:

Part 2 of Baby Stanley. I just think it’s a cute name for this chapter.

Notes:

Might make this a series or keep doing it on here. Haven’t decided yet, also I don’t know if it’s really going to end with this chapter number. But Ik my daily updates will bc I struggled to come up with a plot for this AND the chapter I worked on earlier I think might be it’s own story. What do you think? I like hearing feedback, negative or good.

It was a rough night with Stan, he cried almost all night. Only stopping when he was held by Diego, so Diego wasn’t getting by any sleep.

Well actually no one sleeping, Five would yell at Diego when the baby would cry, as if it was some how his fault.

He couldn’t control Stanley, who might he add, was bent on everyone being awake with him.

“Hey brat, just close your eyes”, Diego whispered rocking him back and forth. Hoping that it would some how calm him down, he couldn’t deal with another night of no sleep.

“It’s okay, mi corazón”, Diego whispered when Stan started to whimper again. “I’ve already fed you, please close your eyes “.

Stan didn’t listen, he let out a wail. Making everyone groan, “Diego please just lock him in the closet or something”, Klaus begged as Diego rolled his eyes.

Diego carefully laid down, making sure Stan was laying comfortably on his chest. If he couldn’t sleep, at least Stan could.

For the first time in hours, it was peacefully quiet as Stan snoozed away on him. He couldn’t sleep with the baby being on him, he’s to afraid to do so, one wrong move and Stanley could be hurt.

Then it would be his fault, he wouldn’t be responsible for hurting his own kid. He couldn’t be.

Not the tiny thing that’s barley feels like anything with his whole body weight on Diego’s chest. His entire hand isn’t even bigger then his thumb. He’s small and it’s frightening.

To think, that he created this, is unbelievable to him. Lila and him created this human being on a fun night on a pull out couch.

Okay well forget that part, Stan really doesn’t know that, maybe just the part where their love created him.

Oh god did he miss Lila, Lila who left the baby with him after taking on to much. Diego really would have wanted her to come to her sooner. He would have taken care of them both, been at every appointment, been with her every step of the way.

But for now? He’ll take this tiny moment with his son. Who trusted Diego out of all people, to keep him safe while he slept.

He’s always wanted kids, not that he thought it would ever happen. No, he imagined it way differently.

It’s to hard to think about the way he wished his life could have been, once upon a time. A wife, two kids, and a little home. A true family. Don’t get him he loves his siblings, but they don’t act like a family.

This would be his family, his babies. His perfect little family, that doesn’t know all the horrible shit he did. That he can be happy with and be lovey with without a thought.

Diego paused his thoughts when Stan moved his head up slightly to make eye contact with, his big brown eyes met Diego’s and smiled slightly.

For the first time, Diego felt like Stan actually liked him. Because before, He would only calm in Allison’s arms really. But now? He was smiling at Him and Diego couldn’t help but smile right back.

“Ojos de ángel. Your the most perfect baby I’ve ever seen”, Diego whispered making the baby grin. As if he understood every word Diego said, English and Spanish.

He loved the thought of Stanley knowing Spanish and being able to understand every word he was saying. It was such a precious and important thing to Diego to have with his son.

Diego didn’t realize he dozed off on his own until he woke up panicked that he could feel Stan on him anymore. Looking around he didn’t see Stan on the floor or did he get-

“He’s right here, calm down. I just thought he should be fed and changed on a schedule”, Diego turned to see Allison holding a very much alive Stan. Who seemed content to stare at them with his brown doe eyes.

“Jesus… ok. Thanks Alison, I can-“, Before he even said anything, Allison rolled her eyes. “Go take a shower dude, You’re gonna need it. I will watch Stanley”.

Diego hesitated before agreeing, he’s going to take any free time he has. Since Stan’s in very good care, Allison knows how to be a parent. Better then Diego.

Being alone felt.. different then before. As if he was missing apart of himself, the little baby who is most likely drooling and not even thinking about him at all.

 

Allison for once, had her mind off of all she lost as she changed her nephew. Who wasn’t crying like he did all night, she heard it through the halls.

He was quiet as long as he got his food and clean clothes. Which was simple enough since with Claire, it hurts to even think her name, who would scream for nothing.

The baby got fussy when he noticed his dad was gone, “it’s alright booger, he will be back. In the mean time, we can hang”.

She’s sure he had no idea what she was talking about, but it didn’t hurt to talk to someone. Someone who couldn’t judge you, hurt you, someone who had to listen to your pain.

“Allison?”, She looked up from Stanley to see Viktor standing their awkwardly as if he was intruding.

“Hey Viktor, whats up?”, She greeted picking her nephew up and walking over. “Nothing- it’s just.. I’m going to meet up with Marcus. To get the brief case back”, Viktor said making Allison look at him shocked.

“You can’t go alone”, she tried to keep her voice low and neutral as to not upset the baby, “The first time was fi-“.

“first time?? You did this before”, Allison was already ready to scold her idiot brother, she couldn’t lose anymore of her family. “I’m coming with you. Let me give Stanley back to Diego then we can go”, Allison said firmly before diego could shut the idea down completely.

“Fine, but you need to follow my lead”, Allison nodded at Viktor, she would only interrupt his plans if it would cause harm to him or their siblings. That’s it.

“Leads for what?”, Five asked walking in, Allison shook her head at Viktor. “Don’t worry about it, you’re retired”, Five looked at her skeptically before shrugging it off.

“Oh and Five?”, Allison added, making her brother look up as she plopped the baby in his arms. He struggled for a moment to hold the baby up in shock.

“Watch your nephew for Diego, he’ll be back soon”, Allison said walking with Viktor out the door. Ignoring Five’s cusses and pleas to come back.

Five looked over at the baby, who Grinned when Five looked at him. “Shit”, Five grumbled, there goes his dad.

“Shit”, the baby repeated to Five’s horror, “Shit shit shit shit”.

Oh my fucking god, Diego’s going to kill him. Lila’s going to piss herself from laughing so hard then kill him.

This is what happens when you leave Five alone with his nephew.. nothing good.

Notes:

Another thing. I didn’t think i would post anything, because I usually pre upload my chapters for the at at 11pm or earlier but it’s currently almost 3am and I had nothing an hour ago. Enjoy my work;)

Chapter 31: Hurt

Summary:

The next time he woke up he felt a soft bed under him, he felt like he slept for days but at the same time not at all.

Notes:

suppose to be longer and also it’s a month old and was supper to be posted by now. But here is this so I can sleep for school tomorrow. Might make it Its own thing. Enjoy;) STD Parents will be update soon.

"Stan..sta...ley..Stanley?", Stan mumbled something unintelligently and attempted to roll over but he found that he couldn't.

Someone was holding him, Stanley didn't know who exactly it was. But it felt better then just laying on the cold floor so that was a plus to this.

"Hey.. you okay, kid?", Stan heard the voice asked, it clicked that It was Diego. But why was Diego holding him?

"Hm?", Stan mumbled, he felt Diego run his fingers through his hair. Diego said something in Spanish that Stan didn't understand.

"Still... still..don't.. speak Spanish", Stan said, he blacked out before he could Diego's reply.

The next time he woke up he felt a soft bed under him, he felt like he slept for days but at the same time not at all.

He lifted his head slightly and almost freaked out until he realized he was not at Trudy's house right now.

He was in hotel obsidian and he can't remember why exactly he was laying down right now.

But everything hurt to much to actually move, plus whoever was holding his hand tightly wasn't letting go anytime soon.

Wait a second...

Who the hell is holding his hand???

Stan looked over to his right to See who the hell was next to him. He looked over to see Diego passed out next to him.

Stan couldn't tell if Diego was aware of him being awake because as soon as he attempted to move his hand Diego held it tighter.

"Yeah he laid down about an hour or two ago, so don't think he'll be up any time soon", Stan looked over to see Klaus taking a swig at the drink in his hand.

"What happened?", Stan asked, wondering why he was even in the bed with Diego? Who he was practically passed out. "You don't remember, eh?", Klaus hid his smirk into his drink.

"Diego can tell you", was his only reply, usually Stan would question him more. But he just felt so drained, he didn't even feel like looking over at Klaus.

"Are you okay?.. you're quiet?", Klaus seemed unsure, Stan really didn't even know if he was okay himself. "Maybe it's because he was just hurt like day ago", a guy that Stan can't remember the name of.

It started with a 'B' and apparently he was suppose to be dead? But this asshole version replaced him in or something.

"I know Ben- I'm just asking, because that's what you do", Oh yeah Ben was his name, though this one doesn't look like the other one he knows.. either he changed his hair in the last week like apparently everyone is doing.. or this is someone different.

God, why did they always have so much happening in a span of a few days. He watched a lot of shit go down and it's not even week two.

Klaus and Ben bickered in a familiar way with each other, Stan didn't find it as annoying as Diego holding his hand.

He sleeps better with people talking and noise. Not to much, not when he was super tired. But right now, on the edge of sleep it was like a lullaby.

"Shut up, if Diego wakes up", Klaus started, "-He would want to know Stanley's awake", Ben finished. Stan could roll his eyes, if he had the energy.

"You two both can shut up now", Stan heard Diego grumbled moving slightly over, "can't you see people trying to sleep?".

"Apparently not", Stan grumbled finally able to turn over when Diego let go of his hand is surprise.

Though that didn't last since Diego moved over to see Stan, when they made eye contact. Diego looked him over like he was searching for something.

"¿Estás bien?", Diego asked in Spanish to which Stan nodded, since technically he knows Spanish. But he's not very good at it.

Diego's worry seemed to wear off a bit, not all the way. But enough to where Stan could turn back over, so he didn't have to look at Diego's worried eyes (not that he's feeling guilty that he's not his real son and had been playing him this entire time, making him worry over a random kid).

Nope, not it at all. If you think it's like that, then.. get help.

"Ben, Klaus, could you give us a moment?", Diego asked, Stan didn't think it was even a question as both men scrambled out.

"Do you know what happened?" , Diego asked, pausing to read Stan's expression who sat up to look at him. Stan hopes he wasn't giving away anything away in his expressions.

"I told you not to get in the middle of this fight, but you didn't listen, so look what happened. "You almost died, Hijo", Diego said softer then before grabbing Stan's face in his hands.

"Sorry?", Stan was not sure what else to say, he's starting to remember everything. Sparrows. Elevator. Old guy. Blank.

"Do you want to die? Is that something you want, mhm? I can't lose you or your mom", Diego said again in that soft tone making Stan feel like shit.

After another pause, "Sleep now. We will talk about things in the morning, ok?", Stan nodded, he waited for Diego to get off the bed, which he didn't do. Seemed to get more comfortable laying back down.

Stan practically collapsed back into the bed, he felt sore all over, so sleeping sounded a whole of a lot better.

Waking up again, feeling the same amount of sore as before. Everything hurt, especially his head and shoulder.

Hopefully he didn't break anything outside or inside his body. That would suck, he's to lazy to go to the hospital in and out. Nor can he afford it.

"Are you hungry do you want some waffles?", Klaus asked as Stan shook his head, "I can't eat Gluten".

"Ah ha, I remembered that. So these are gluten free", Klaus didn't even ask this time, putting a plate of Waffles on his lap. Stan frowned at the waffles that had Sirup on it in a smirk face.

He looked up to Klaus winking, eating his own waffles. Stan wasn't sure exactly what was happening, but it wasn't going to be good. He can feel it.

"Diego is with Lila right now, they didn't say what they were doing or anything. They told me to give you something to eat and send you down later", Klaus said with his mouth full, Stan rolled his eyes at the gross display.

"Hm", Stan said to let Klaus know he was some what listening to him, taking a bite out of the food he was offered.

"Oh and Ben has some medicine for you, so you don't worry about any pain", Klaus informed him, he would ask Klaus why he couldn't just give it to him. But he didn't want to pry into his Uncle's personal business like that.

It wasn't long before Ben came in, giving him some medicine. He was much nicer then the other Ben, who Stan had the misfortune of speaking to one time.

The first and final time, he's like an emo wanna be. At what 30 something years old? Come on now.

Ben didn't look away until he was sure Stan had swallowed it, Stan would have been weirded out, if it was anyone else, but Hargreeve's are just like that.

  Stan got bored quickly so he decided he might as well go down stairs.. but standing hurt. He ended up right at the edge of the bed again.

"Woah, can you walk?", Ben asked grabbing his arm gently, keeping him from collapsing again after trying to get up. "Uhh... I don't know?", Stan said unsurely.

"Ok.. I can carry you?", Stan shook his head at the offer, because that would be embarrassing to be carried to Diego. "I can walk".

"Can you?", Ben challenged letting Stan use him to pull himself up, Stan felt embarrassed when Ben practically helped him walked manually as if he was a baby.

It hurt so badly to walk, like his legs were burning. Up his back to felt burning.

God, he hoped it would stop soon. He really didn't want to be in pain nor go to the doctor. Not that he has a fear or something.. that would be crazy.

"That's it, I'm getting Diego", Ben stated when Stan fell to the ground after pushing his hand away. Stan gave up at that point too, he really couldn't walk.

  It was also embarrassing when Instead of Diego It was Lila, who also watched him fall. She told Ben to leave for a moment before taking to Stan alone.

"Shit kid, Ich bin Tut Mir leid", Lila Said hugging him slightly, looking guilty. As if some how it's her fault, when Stan didn't.

It was his own fault for being reckless himself, he knew eventually it would catch up to him.

"Sorry Lila", he mumbled knowing that she was probably going to take him home to Trudy, who would be pissed at both of them if she found out.

She told him always to stay home when she was out,  sometimes she would  'homeschool' him which would involve her making him complete a page of work for the week until she got home.

  But when she finds out Stan went out with Lila, out of Berlin. Out of 1989? She's going to flip her shit, which might involve his grandparents.

Which is.. absolutely shit. He would rather be in the hotel then with Trudy or his grandparents.

  "Trudy's going to be so pissed", Lila mumbled, Stan really, really didn't want to go home. But it was, in the end, for the best.

He still has his mom, who is crappy at times, but still his mama. He also cares about Lila and even if he can't see Diego or have a 'dad', then he will take seeing Lila whenever she comes by.

  Lila had to give him a piggy back ride, since standing for two long hurts him. He knew that she was mumbling a lot of curse words in German, since he is clearly fluent in German.

He wasn't born in German but his mom was, coming back every once in a while to either visit family who stayed or to do gigs. Or both.

"Woah.. where the hell are you taking him?", Diego asked stopping them in the hallway, having ice in his hand.

"Home", Lila replied simply, Diego furrowed his brows. "In that condition you're taking him anywhere? We have to take him to a doctor here", Diego insisted.

"I'm going to tale him to a doctor, when we get to our home", Lila argued, "so what I'll see him in another 12 years?", Clearly a fight was going to break out, he should have brought some popcorn for this.

“And you didn’t think to run that by me? Diego asked making Stan look at him surprise since early he was complaining about Lila leaving him here. But when she tried he got upset? Doesn’t make sense.

He’s dumb, is the only conclusion his mind came too.

“Well Diego I am his mom- for the last 12 years so I think I have more of a say”, Lila said back, clearly trying to rile him up, out of amusement. Stan can’t blame her there, it’s fun.

“And I’m his dad. You left me in charge of him and this happens. But you don’t get to leave with our child and goes who mows where.

“He needs to be home with me”, Lila says, with complete honesty. Stan was a bit surprised how she was that dedicated about something.

“This is his home, now it is. So he’s staying, or else I’ll chase you down myself”, Lila seemed to understand Diego’s threat and hold onto Stan harder.

“Now.. let’s see what’s wrong ourselves before we go to the hospital or leave”, Diego said casually holding his arms out. Lila sighed and took a breath before passing Stan over. “If he’s bad off in a few more hours we’re leaving”, Lila-informed him.

Diego nodded a bit, clearly not happy with the idea. But accepting nonetheless.

Diego carried Stan back into the room, placing him on the chair next to the bed. “I’m telling you I can’t do it”, Stan whined when Diego trying to get him to stand up.

“Doesn’t hurt to try, Hijo”, Diego said, Stan rolled his eyes at Diego, him playing father to a random kid. Then getting clearly attacked to said child, Which would make it even more awkward when he found out…

“I told you it’s bad”, Lila complained sitting next to Stan munching on some snacks while being supported of anything Stan does much to his own embarrassment and Diego’s annoyance.

“Fine Thats it for the day”, Diego decided. Wait what? A day, does this mean he has to do anything his everyday in pain. Hell no. Suddenly sleeping sounded real good.

“I have an idea”, Both of them turned to her, smiling evilly. “Whatever It is we’re not interested”, She kept smiling even at Diego’s words.

“I don’t like this one bit”, Stan shuttered at the idea of doing any thing more today. Not that it matters to his parents, they do their own thing half the time and he gets dragged into it.

Why can’t he have a normal day? family that he was fake born into, being real actual humans that aren’t messed well into their 30s?

Chapter 32: Through your eyes

Summary:

Klaus and Stan body swap, Klaus POV.

“What to do now, is the biggest question. If Stan is dead and Klaus Gets back to his body then Stan will be dead for good.”

Notes:

I just noticed I FREAKING POSTED THE SAME CHAPTER TWICE AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING WHICH I MUST SAY IS RUDE. SO TWO CHAPTERS WILL BE POSTED TODAY.

See if you told Klaus that one day he would die randomly and then end up in his own nephews Body who died too... he probably would have believed you because that sounds like his life.

But waking up in a hospital, nothing new to him. Again all of this is just typical with him. Well he thought it was, except usually Diego wasn't here looking worried.

And... stressed? Usually Diego called him an idiot with less bite then usual. He however hasn't stayed next to Klaus in the hospital in years.

Klaus doesn't even know what Diego is doing here or why Klaus himself is in the hospital... It's still blurry.

When Diego noticed he was awake he immediately started talking, but Klaus understood none of it. He wasn't sure if it was because his head was pounding so fast or if Diego was speaking Spanish.

It could be either really... Diego either stutters in English when stressed or switches to Spanish.

"—thought it was just a cold?-", Was the only thing Klaus caught, he had no idea what Diego was talking about or to whom. Because he really couldn't tell who Diego was talking too.

He was kind of tired of being in this bed, itching for a drink. His attempt at getting up was quickly put to step with Diego laying him back down.

Which was extremely annoying, because he hates hospitals. He also hates people told what to do and stop. Much like a child, but he knows what he wants.

"It's fine, you're fine. You Just.. had a close one", so now Klaus could hear but he really didn't know what to say. Which usually he always could find something to say.

Being the person Klaus was, he did not stop trying to get up. For some reason, Diego was easily over powering him. Shouldn't he be struggling a little? I mean Klaus is a grown ass man and taller then Diego too.

"Knock it off, Stanley. I swear I'll tell them to sedate you", Klaus sort of froze at those words- why was he calling him Stanley-?

Wait a minute.. where's the nearest mirror? Oh god...

"I have to go the bathroom", even his voice.. sounded off. Diego looked skeptical, like he was going to argue. But he nodded and allowed Klaus to  get up.

He was a bit wobbly to walk but eventually with Diego's help, which he didn't ask for. He eventually made it to the bathroom, Diego looked like he was about to ask if He needed help so he immediately shut the door.

Just as Klaus feared, he looked in the mirror and saw his nephew staring back.... Shit indeed.

What the hell does he do? Diego would be pissed off if he found out Klaus possessed his son. Or he'll think Stan is crazy and put them both in a nuthouse.

Also what was he doing in a hospital and where was his real body? He is not living as a 12 year old boy, he's not Five he refuses to live like that.

Also what happened to his nephew? Is he in Klaus's body? Wait a minute.. why does he always get possessed his relatives.

"Stanley.. you okay?", Klaus didn't exactly know what to do, Diego's outside pounding on the door. Thinking that his brother is his nephew.

Which is very awkward, if only Diego knew..

"Yeah uh I'm coming", he said trying not to sound strained, hopefully Diego doesn't realize somethings up. Because even though he is dense, he always can realize if somethings up with his family members.

Klaus was going to play his part until he figures out what happened. Which might be tricky considering he is not even sure what him/Stan is here for.

When he opened the door Diego was standing off to the side looking at his phone. Seemingly distracted by it, which Klaus doesn't mind he really doesn't want to talk to Diego right now. Might give away that he isn't Stan.

  "So.. why am I here?", he asked finally when Diego was walking him backed to bed.

   Diego's brows furrowed, "you don't.. remembered?". Was that going to be a problem on Klaus's behalf or?

"You.. were sick and we thought it was a cold but you kept getting worse", Diego took a shaky breath, "You stopped breathing for 10 minutes, if the paramedics didn't save you then you would've die forever".

  Ah shit.. does this mean what he thinks it does? That Stan died and some how he took over his life?

  What to do now, is the biggest question. If Stan is dead and Klaus Gets back to his body then Stan will be dead for good.

And Klaus will have to deal with the after math of it. Diego and lila will be devastated, Diego will rage and Lila will be cold again.

It would be his fault too...

No, he has to find another way. Before anyone figures out.

"Oh", He replied, not really knowing what to say to His brother/now father. "You feel better yeah?", Diego asked touching his forehead, Klaus assumed it was to see if he was hot.

He didn't feel sick, he guesses. Just sore and tired.. That's pretty much it. Luckily, he doesn't do sick.

  "Hello Mr.Hargreeves, Hello Stanley", the doctor greets, Klaus tries not to scowl as he touches his shoulder. He hates hates hates people who he doesn't know touching him.

"Can I check to see if everything okay?", he asks Klaus kindly, but Klaus stays quiet as the doctor already started.

"He doesn't feel or look sick anymore", Diego adds for the doctors information,It was a bit annoying because did he have to tell the doctor his business? Or well Stans.

"I'm sure why that is, if I'm honest", The Nameless doctor said frowning, "His tests all came back.. odd. As if he is In relatively perfect health".

  "Then why is it a problem?", Diego seemed to snap, catching himself before he starts yelling. "It wouldn't be if you didn't bring him in sick and pretty much on the verge of his heart stopping, which it did", the doctor replied.

  Diego looked like he was going to cry, Klaus really hoped he didn't cry anymore. He doesn't know what Stan would do so he doesn't know what he should do.

"We'll take care of it, don't worry Mr. Hargreeves", Diego nodded squeezing Klaus's hand in a comforting gesture. Though Klaus Wasn't feeling very comforted.

  How the hell does he keep ending up in the worst situations?

  Really his luck, he's really starting to wish ghost Ben was here to actually have some brain cells.

   Scratch that, Ben would be to judgmental and make Klaus feel guilty and do shit out of being guilty.

The things they made Klaus do was annoying, he saw really no need in them when Clearly Stan was breathing.

  Now all he had to do was find a way to get home and figure this out. Without letting Lila and Diego get suspicious of him and start to worry.

  Diego looked down at his phone with a frown, before excusing himself.  Giving a pat to Klaus's head before walking out.

Which was good for Klaus, since he was hoping for a chance like this.

So with a quick look around, he was off again. After changing of course, is this how Ben felt possessing Klaus? Uncomfortable and scared, for no apparent reason.

The hallways had a lot of patients around and doctors, as you would except. So Klaus was careful to avoid anyone who would ask questions, simply acting like he was just going for a walk.

He made sure to rip off the hospital band, because that would be a dead give away. To anyone really.

“Hey kid. Where’s your parents”, Klaus froze at the voice, slowly turning around to see a nurse with her hands on her hips.

“I’m going to the cafeteria?” , he knew he already sounded suspicious, he was worried she saw right past him.

“Nurse Ashlee, You’re needed in room 109”, Someone said, The nurse nodded to them. Klaus took the opportunity to run off. Being quick so that he could beat security if she called.

Goddamn it.. he’s already out of breath. Does Stan have asthma?? Shit he doesn’t even know the problems he’ll have.

It actually was easy to get downstairs and to the front doors. No one really asked questions, as he hoped. Though it was a little to easy…

Klaus felt someone grab him and pull him towards them, all fight left him when he looked up to see his Brother’s (dad?)pissed of face.

“Where do you think you’re going?”, He asked, Klaus wasted no time and immediately kicked his brother’s leg. Who dropped to the floor immediately holding his leg.

Klaus ran as if his life depended on it, which technically it did.

He wasn’t sure if Diego was behind him or not, knowing his brother, he was. He was also most likely pissed off right now and gaining up on him.

But Klaus can have some hope right?

All hope was lost when he was grabbed again, God he was tired of human contact.

“What the hell”, All his adrenaline lost when Klaus looked at Lila, who usually called him kitten or something similar.

“Was ist Falsch?”, Klaus was glad he was fluent in German too, because when Diego spoke Spanish he had no idea what he was saying or what he should say. “Es ist nichts”, Klaus replied trying to remove his arm from her grip.

“Clearly not, if you are going to run away from Diego and kick him”, Klaus wasn’t sure how she knew, he didn’t answer her. He really didn’t have an answer for her either.

“Stanley”, Lila Warned getting closer, before they could continue this lovely conversation. Diego came running out of breath, panting and almost collapsing.

“I was.. almost… I was close to catching up to him”, Diego said through breaths, Lila sent him a deadpan look. Klaus was Really sure without Lila he would have been gone.

Then Diego turned to him, with concern and anger.

“You’re going back to That hospital, whether I drag you by your arm or volunteer”, Diego said stepping closer, Klaus was corned by both of them.

“Wait is that.. REGINALD HARGREEVES?”, Both Lila and Diego whipped up their heads to the direction ‘Stan’ pointed.

When they didn’t find him, they looked back to Stan for answers. Who much to their horror wasn’t there, just an empty spot.

“Oh shit”, Lila said looking at Diego, who just closed his eyes. “FUCK”.

Notes:

Also, my German still needs improvement. Well Ik basic words but that’s all my knowledge goes so be welcome to correct any errors you see.

Chapter 33: Mom Lila headcannons

Summary:

Some headcannons of motherly Lila I thought of last minute.

Notes:

Still gotta figure out what to post tomorrow lol..

• Lila doesn’t like being the strict parent because it feels wrong to punish her own kids. Like she will if she has but she would rather diego do it. 
• Lila didn’t necessarily plan to take stanley with her when she left.. but she had grown an fondness to him. She couldn’t convince herself to leave him there, when it’s possible anything could happen so she would rather him be closer.
• Lila has fought middle school age children for picking on Stanley. Even when diego got mad over it, she still fist bumped Stanley. She also told him to fight but don’t tell diego she said that. 
• She despises most kids, Five being his own little thing. She just hates them in general, except of course her own.
• Has Lila thought of going back in time and stealing Stan as a baby.. yes.
• Sometimes she’s afraid her kids will become like her one day. Stan slowly takes on both of their personalities mixed.. which proves to be interesting.
• she has a hard time of thinking that one day Stan and her baby will become real adults and possibly have their own families. 
• Lila hates having to act mature to show her kids how to behave and respect them when that’s not how she acts. She’s reckless, fun, and lively. But it makes her dull down, as Diego does too. To try to Teach Stan how “normal” (ish) people act. 
• though they should rethink that because Stan came to them already pretty messed up. Ready to rob anything possibly and not batting an eye at all the crazy shit happening around him… it’s kind of nice? Nice that someone understands her more now then ever before. 
• Lila isn’t a soccer mom, but she will fight another parent for saying her kid sucks at any sport. She takes it very serious.
• even at parenting meetings when they say Stan did something and yet don’t have video evidence she will deny it.. even if he most likely did it. 
• being a mother and wife come first for her….but sometimes she has off days and goes to blow off some steam. 
• Then sometimes she will cuddle up to her family, watching movies or somethint domestic like that. 
• she knows it possible the handler is alive but she has kept tabs on possible places she could be and kept tabs where her family is at all times.
• she doesn’t allow Stan outside alone for any reason, even walking the five minutes home is a little to much for her. She’s constantly thinking something happened to him or anyone she loves.
• she may or may not have put trackers on them so she can have an ease of mind at work or anywhere.
• Stanley likes to push his dad’s button and hers, but usually he doesn’t do it on purpose for her. He will do something reckless that she will get pissed off at yelling at him.
• or simply when he does do something, she goes to the gym to cool off. she doesn’t like yelling at him, it reminds her of her mother in a way.
• That’s why she and Diego let their kids make their own choices, nothing big. But to teach them their actions have consequences. Even though they do make it a household rule to get one of them have doing something like murder or anything illegal to come to one of them. 
• Lila tries not to get mad over little things, she isn’t one for being super organized but that wasn’t until she lived with 2 of the most enjoying people she’s met, her son and husband. 
• Constantly setting things where they don’t belong like an inch where they should be. 
• Also the fact that Stan likes to pile his clothes in one huge pile ONTO his bed. Even though she knows he puts it in the laundry basket after he’s ran out of them. But it’s still annoying. 
• Lila is definitely done having kids, after her one pregnancy and adoption, she’s had it. She loves the ones she has now, so she’s good.
• it’s probably best that Way too, they can just now afford having two and even that is hard.
• lila loves siblings in law, but they are also annoying. But she doesn’t leave either of her kids with them longer then a few hours, if it’s longer she gets the babysitter she trusts the most. Except Viktor, she will leave them with him.
• On that note, she digs into her babysitters history and makes sure it’s safe for her kids and for the babysitter to be in their home. 
• she is looking for a permanent nanny, but it costs hella cash to make a commitment like that. But she also takes her kids protection very seriously. 
• Lila and Diego both made the decision to not leave stanley home alone at all until he’s more mature. Including babysitting. But sometimes for a minute to run to the store they will leave him with the baby depending on where. 
• Lila loves her kids so much, she never saw herself becoming a mother but shes so happy she did. 

Chapter 34: attention seeker and learning the ways of being a big bro.

Summary:

Stanley and his baby sister! Plus him being a little attention seeker. A chapter combined with two plots I had in mind.

Notes:

I’ve been meaning to write both of these prompts from like a month ago. But I finally had the time rn lol. So here’s it combined. I have many chapters ideas in drafts but not written out. But when I do finish this book I’ll still add onto it.. but less frequently like how I do it daily now.

Diego rubbed Stan's back as he threw up at the gluten things he ate. Diego would have been grossed out by anyone else throwing up next to him, but when you have kids its kind of part of the job description.

Diego swears be buys almost everything possible that is gluten free, but yet Stan gets horribly sick still. Is he going to have to monitor everything Stan eats or what? Because he is sure its not good to be throwing up this much and eating it still. Diego just doesn't know what to do about it, they've been in this new timeline a week or so and just recently Stan keeps getting sick.

It's why Diego finally set up a doctors appointment, so that they know whats wrong with Stan before he goes to school. Because that he refuses to send Stanley to school in pain like that.

He was suppose to go yesterday but he was sick, so he stayed home with Lila and the baby. Which Lila said he was fine after a few hours of being sick and throwing up.

Then again today, he's sick once again. This time with Diego, which just means Diego will have to go and forth to two kids.

"What in the hell did you eat", Diego asked, very confused. Since the last thing he saw Stan eat had no gluten in it. It was worrying to think he could get sick even without gluten.

That's got Diego really worried, he's ready for that doctor's appointment to see what he has to do to help Stan. It's not easy to watch Stan be in pain like that or any of his kids really.

When Stan didn't answer, Diego let him be. He wasn't going to force him to answer a bunch of questions right after he was throwing up.

Diego carried Stan to bed, making sure he was good before checking on the baby.

 

Stan doesn't feel bad about faking being sick, one being he gets the attention he wants out of it, two it's not really hurting anyone. Well except him.

  But it's hard to share his new parents attention, that is their biological kid and he's well nothing now.

  Not that Diego cares about blood ties, but it wasn't his choice to adopt Stan in the first place. Really it was Lila's joke, so it's life is pretty much a practical joke.

  He's afraid that Diego will get rid of him once his kid grows up more and Stan becomes a problem. Which he's tried not to be.

That's why he doesn't need anyone to find out he is eating gluten on purpose. He'll be sent back to Trudy, for taking their time up. He doesn't want to go with Trudy. He loves her, she's his mom. But...

He loves Diego and Lila more.

As much as they tell him the baby means nothing between them, it really does.

It means everything. It's always 'not now' or 'you need to be mature to be a big brother', and more. He doesn't want to be a big brother, it's not who he is.

No one's ever looked up to him, it's frightening. He's not a good role model, none of them are. Maybe Diego but he's just as crazy as the rest.

"Stanley, do you wanna hold her?", Diego asked pulling him closer, Stan scrunched his nose at the wrinkly baby. She look more inhuman then a baby, were all baby's this ugly?

"Uh nope", Stan said simply, Diego frowned. "Come on, she's your baby sister-", He started but Stan shook his head.

"Don't force him if he doesn't want too", Lila called out, Diego nodded letting Stan do his own thing. They both think he'll come around eventually. Which never happens.

"You haven't held her at all, estimado", Diego said softly making him sit down, this time he didn't have Lila or any excuse to say no.

"I don't like babies", Stan told him, which wasn't a lie technically. He didn't really care for babies, but especially the one trying to take his place. "She's your sister though, she will be in your life forever".

"I don't want her in my life forever", he blurted out, without thinking. Then realized what he said by Diego's face. "Yes you do, Stanley", he said firmly.

"Isnt that my choice not to want someone in my life?", Stan challenged, getting angrier at Diego. "You haven't even given her try. She's a baby you can't make that decision right now", like hell is Diego going to tell him what to do with his own life.

"Fuck off", Stan cursed attempting to get up but being held back, "get off me", he told Diego simply. Who didn't let go.

"Stanley, listen to me", Diego said firmly, "Get your hands off me", Stan said again, this time angrier.

"Stan-", He tried again, but Stan could only feel tense at the hand.. he doesn't like people touching him without permission even when he asked them not to. It gives him bad memories and what some call "PTSD".

  He's not sure what Diego is saying but he could feel himself freeze up and start to hyperventilate.

"What's wrong?!", Stan could hear Diego asking, but he refused to look at him. Staring at the floor trying to calm down, finally Diego let go of his arm and Stan took off.

He slammed his door shut locking it before collapsing and leaning against the door. He could feel his heart beat, he just needed to calm down.

It hurt.. he's not sure what exactly. Maybe everything.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you.. I know you need time", Stan put his head in his knees, trying to block out Diego's voice. "That you need to get used to Grace".

Stan really wanted to cry but he didn't want go seem weak, he just wanted to be alone for a while.

When Stan didn't say anything, he heard Diego walk away. Probably to go comfort Grace for her big brother being shitty. Which he never asked to be a brother, again must he remind them?

Stan calmed down eventually by reading some comic books. He could hear people all through the apartment but he kept himself in his room, eating food he snuck at night for his stash.

He heard a knock at the door, so he kept himself quiet so they would think he was asleep.

"Come out and eat, Stanley", Stan ignored Lila's voice, waiting for her to walk away. "Give me a sign of life at least, Stanley. Or else I'll break that door down", he knew she wasn't joking.

"I'm not hungry", Stan replied hoping that would be enough for Lila, it was silent for a moment. Stan was sure she left, until she spoke up again. “Fine. But if you don’t eat the bowl I put out for you, then I’ll force feed you”.

Stan was happy lila at least knew boundaries when the Hargreeves siblings don’t.

It was maybe another few hours before he heard anything from anyone again. It was a simple ‘goodnight’ from Lila, who asked him to open the door so she could give him their nightly goodnight hug.

He didn’t reply or answer, so she eventually left him be.

Stan sneakily opened his door, after checking to see if the coast was clear. When he confirmed that no one in the halls, he quickly got to the kitchen.

His snacks ran out and he was hungry, so this clearly was the only option. Sneaking into the kitchen and eating, running back before anyone saw him.

“I thought you weren’t hungry”, Stan whipped his head to seeing Lila in the door with her arms Crossed. “That was hours ago”, he replied simply.

Trying not to show her how Tense he was. She probably already sees through the act.

Lila didnt say anything to him, so of course he didn’t speak a work either.

“Are you mad at Diego? Or both of us”, Lila asked as Stan ignored in favor of his food. “We can’t help you if you don’t tell us what’s wrong.. talk to me at least”. Stan still didn’t budge so Lila walk over to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

“I won’t tell you to talk right now.. just eat and sleep ok? .. talk to Diego please, he feels bad for making you upset”, Stan really didn’t want to talk to him or her, he just wanted to be able to be left alone right now.

“Ok”, he said to please her before going back to his food, she squeezed his shoulder before walking off.

“Goodnight Stanley”, Lila said before walk out. To which Stan was thankful for.

The morning didn’t prove to be any better, Stan woke up and did his Normal thing. To get ready for school, he could hear the baby crying but he ignored it once again.

Stan avoided talking to Diego all morning, making sure to say bye to Lila and walk out the door.

Usually Lila or Diego walked with him, but he rushed out before either was ready to walk outside the house.

He really hopes they will forget this happened and let him just chill without holding his ‘sister’. He’s not being forced to do anything he doesn’t want, which includes whether or not he wants to hold her.

He was prepared to walk home alone, but to his surprise Diego was waiting for him outside the school. He really wanted to walk the other way, but Diego already saw him. So he might as well walk with some pride.

“Where’s your bag?“, is the first thing Diego said to Stan in the last day. “I leave it in my locker since I don’t have homework”, Diego nodded.

It was a pretty quiet walk, Stan was a little glad that Diego has not said anything yet. He likes the quiet, even though it’s tense.

“I’m sorry, for upsetting you, estimado”, Diego spoke softly, Stan didn’t say anything. “It’s fine”, he said even though they both knew it wasn’t.

“I shouldn’t have pushed you to do anything you don’t want too”, Stan nodded, he knew Diego and Lila loved him. But.. at the same time he still is unsure where he belongs in the family.

“I need you to talk to me.. tell me what exactly is wrong, please”, Diego begged. “I just.. don’t like people touching me when I said not too”.

Stan left the part of it giving him bad memories out of it.. he doesn’t want Diego to worry about years prior to meeting.

“Why don’t you like Grace?”, Diego asked, “do you think she is replacing you?”.

Stan ignored him and kept walking.

“No”, Stan denied, it went back to being quiet until they got back to the Apartment.

“I hope you know that no matter what happens, nothing changes between any of us? Okay? I’m serious with this, Stanley”, Diego hugged him, Stan allowed himself to be hugged for Diego’s comfort (totally not his own).

“Grace and you are both my kids, who are both huge brats that I love so much”, Stan felt warm in his chest, of course he’ll deny it.

“I love you, Stanley”, Stan had forgotten why he was even mad in the first time while diego hugged him tightly.

Even though he’s still a little… put off by the baby being here now. But he’ll accept the baby for now, for Diego and Lila’s sake.

So that’s why Stanley is here as Diego finally positions the baby in his arms, his baby sister. Grace.

“That’s so cute… Wait I wanna take a picture”, Diego said taking out his phone telling Stan to look less like ‘he was forced to do this by his parents’.

“Ok..”, Stan drawled looking at the tiny baby in his Arms, she was cute. Extremely so, Stan still can’t believe this is an actual Mix of both Lila and Diego genetically. It looks more like a dust bunny then it does them.

The baby hiccuped, which was cute until she spit up, then he pretty much dipped.

“Ok I’m done, take your creature back now”, Diego chuckled but did as he was asked, finally.

“See being a big brother isn’t that hard, right?”, Diego asked in a joking way, “I’ll hang out with her when she is potty trained”, Stan replied.

Chapter 35: Klaus’s life. Also Klaus+Uncle= Unklaus

Summary:

Kind of more about Klaus.. but like Stanley’s there and so is Diego. So really I think it should be in this thingy.

Notes:

It’s not my last chapter, I still will have more eventually. But this is just my cut to where I’m posting daily.. it’s become a little to hard to do it with school. Also I’m making more series, plus finishing the others I have. So please leave suggestions for spin offs. I already have Five and Stan’s middle school days sort of fic planned out. By late august to September I should have some more fics posted.

Klaus knows he's going down hill again, but it seems ever since they got to this new timeline everyone's growing and becoming happy.

Except him. He's has no one, not even Ben. Neither Ben anymore and damn does he miss Ben. He doesn't have Dave either.

  Allison clearly has everything, Ray and Claire and a life. She made sure of it. Diego is growing his family out, With a baby on the way.

Luther is still trying to find his wife while Viktor settles down.

But Klaus? He feels like he is drowning over and over.

He's high again and alone without anyone, he just had to call someone to pick him up off the street. That someone being Diego, since he is the only brother close.

  Who was 30 minutes away still, but took the drive for Klaus. Klaus regrets intruding on Diego's life even more, his new life with his real family.

  "Dammit Klaus", Diego mumbled helping him up, helping Him into his car.

"I thought you were sober now", Diego said, well Klaus thought so too. But thinking about Dave and everything he doesn't have.. he just had too.

  "It's just who I am Diego", Klaus said in a half joking manner. Diego just looked at him disappointed, which he is use too.

Diego then looked to the backseat, making sure the kid in the back was asleep still.

Another thing Klaus ruined.. his Nephews sleep. Just because he is selfish and called his dad to come get him from his high.

"Klaus, what's going on. You're acting off", Diego asked, Klaus didn't answer mostly because he didn't know how too.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it", Diego glared even harder at Klaus. "I will worry about it. Because I'm worried about you", Diego said seriously.

"I'm just not having a good day", Klaus mumbled, Diego sent him a worried look. "Come stay at our apartment, it's small. Also Five and Viktor stay there on the couches but I'm sure we can find room".

Klaus Didn't want to stay with them, he wanted to stay with Dave.

  The next thing Klaus knew, he blinked and he was at their apartment. As Diego carried Stan out of the car, trying to keep the blanket that was draped over him from falling off.

"Lila isn't home, she's working nights", Diego explained before Klaus could ask. Which explains why Stan came with Diego

  Klaus could see who he assumed was Viktor Sleeping on one of the couches. Klaus collapsed on the second couch across from it and closed his eyes.

  A few minutes later, Diego laid a blanket across Klaus.

  "If you need to talk you can come to me", Diego whispered before walking away.

  Being a father really has softened him, Klaus is proud of him. He really is. But at the same time he envies him, having Lika and his kids.

  Of everything he's done and accomplished.

Of course he won't act horrible as he feels to them. They are his family. Stan is his murderous yet cute nephew.

Klaus woke up to the smell of coffee and eggs, he rubbed his face with his hand. He could feel himself coming off the high.

"Good morning sleeping beauty", Diego greets, Already drinking a cup of coffee. Stan, Five and Viktor were already at the table.

"Morning", Klaus mumbles stumbling to the nearest chair. Viktor and Five were talking quietly on a matter Klaus did not even feel like knowing. While Stan was eat eggs and some fruit he still seemed half asleep, which Klaus felt that.

Even awake he felt like he was asleep, so tired.

"I'm going to work and taking Stan to school, anyone need a ride?", Diego asked setting his coffee down. Viktor nodded as Five shook his head.

"Well whoever's coming, we leave in ten. Stan go get dressed", Klaus zoned them out of as he looked off into space. Such.. normal conversations then usual.

The usual being apocalypses, death, murder, saving the world and all they fun stuff.

"Lila's in our room asleep, warning do not wake her up. I'll be at work until 4 and Stan will be home at 3:30", Diego explained as he got ready. "If you need something my numbers on the fridge", Klaus just nodded.

He doesn't even know how everyone is so awake at 7am, he's barley even awake right. He can't even imagine going to work or school at this hour.

His poor little nephew, having to deal with asshole kids at 7 in the morning.

Once everyone left except Five who went into one of the rooms to do who knows what, then Lila who was passed out from working Night Shift.

Klaus felt tired once more and passed out again, way to tired to deal with the world.

His dreams were always the same. Happiness with Dave. Living the life he dream. It all falls down. Crying. Death. Destruction. Ben. Ghosts.

He wishes he never needed sleep. It’s a useless thing in his opinion, why sleep for some Hours when you could be doing shit instead.

But of course, God hates him. So here he is waking up from another dream turned nightmare. Trying to keep himself from screaming at all the unfairness.

A loud Crunch sound, had him immediately turning his head. In shock or he doesn’t even know.

“What’s up”, Klaus sighed when he saw his nephew in the door was casually eating.

“Wait is it already that late?! What time is it?”, Did he really just sleep the entire day away? Shit man..

“It’s like 3:30 something, maybe 3:40”, Stan shrugged, Great so he did sleep the whole day while everyone was at work.

“Good morning Sonnenschein”, Lila said sarcastically walking in, clearly already ready to go to work as soon as Diego comes back. “Did you rest well Sleeping beauty?”, Lila continued.

Klaus rolled his eyes at her sarcasm, “Warum ja”, He answered rubbing his eyes while standing.

Klaus ruffled Stan’s hair on the way out of the living room, he can at least put an act on for his nephew. Who deserves an uncle like Viktor to look up too, yet apparently he looks up to Klaus.

Which worries everyone since hes not always.. acting the best. Or really always on drugs or in jail. Probably both on a good day.

Klaus casually went through the fridge tryin to find something to snack on. He really had this craving for a juicy burger right now and some French fries.

“I heard what happened last night.. are you okay Kitten?”, Lila asked him worried, keeping her voice low. “I’m.. good. Just an off day is all”, Klaus replied getting a spoon for his yogurt.

“If you need to talk.. come to me”, Lila said a bit stiffly, Both of them know she isn’t good at emotions. But she’s trying, which counts in her book. That also, is what makes her fit in with them even more, not understanding human emotions.

The front door was pulled open, stopping their conversation for now.

“We’re in here”, Lila called out to her husband, Klaus was a bit nervous to see Diego. Because if he thought something was wrong he wouldn’t stop until he found out what and fixed it.

Endearing.. but annoying.

Diego walked in, clearly tired from work but offered Lila a smile and kiss.

“Where’s Stan?”, He asked looking around, “He’s off somewhere, probably playing a game”, Klaus replied trying to make casual conversation.

“Wow you look like shit”, Diego said, no filter as always. “Thanks Di”, Klaus said sarcastically, making Lila snicker.

“Don’t you have a kid to greet”, Diego nodded at Lila before sending Klaus a look that means ‘further discussion later’.

Klaus wasnt look forward to that conversation, not really at all. But he did want to get better.

Get better for Dave, Ben, Stanley, Lila, His siblings. Oh and of course himself.

Which probably involves actual family therapy.. which will be.. something.

Notes:

Hope you enjoyed this chapter and my others. Daily uploading was fun and this was my first time doing that.. so now I know how stressful it is so thank you for all the other writers who did it for a long ass time lol;)

Chapter 36: Batman bandaids.

Summary:

Honestly just a random Drabble between Diego and Stan. Allison and Claire too.

Diego rubbed his eyes tiredly, eyes shifting  over to Stan. Who was just looking around the place, probably looking for something to steal. Which is another reason why Diego has to stay around him.

  He hasn't gotten to sleep much, more of a night owl, staying up late and doing shit while Stan sleeps. But now he has to get up with Stanley or else who knows what the kid will get into.

  As soon as Stan was picking up some random expensive looking object, Diego whistled. "Ah ah no. Put it down", He said in a way someone would say to their pet or something.

  "Whaaat I wasn't even doing anything", Stan complained. Diego rolled his eyes pulling Stan along, deciding it would be easier just to have Stan in their room so He can doze off for a bit.

"Yet. Stanley, im not dumb. I know how 12 year olds think, I was once your age you know", Diego said with a sigh, Stan glared back at him. "What, like 40 years ago?", Stan said sarcastically trying to pulling his arm back from Diego.

Diego looked shocked, "I'm not that old!", He protested. He didn't look that old did he..?

  Diego was about done with Stan, being a brat and trying to age him up. But also with his lack of sleep, he ought to give Stan some melatonin and call it a day.

On their way to the room, Diego and Stan bumped into Allison and some random kid.. wait since when did she have a random kid....

Oh wait... that isn't her is it? Diego thought she was erased but maybe not?

"Is that.. Claire?", Diego asked, trying not to upset Allison but..the little girl had to be Claire. She looked just like Allison did when they were younger.

"Yeah.. it's a long story, but Diego meet Claire and Claire meet your uncle Di", Allison introduced with a sparkle in her eyes, Claire smiled and waved.

"Hi Claire", Diego said gently, wanting to lean down but he still had Stan to hold on to. Because he had a feeling that as soon as he lets go of Stanley, that he will bolt off. Not with a feeling, he just knows.

"Hiiii", She said sweetly, Diego thinks that he would have loved to have a daughter. The adorableness of It all is to much.

Is it bad Diego doesn't know it he likes Stan? His own son. His blood. He doesn't Like him and it seems Stan doesn't like him either. So it's mutual.

  "Where are you going, uncle Di?", Claire asked innocently, Diego smiled down at her. "Me and.. oh shit where is he", Diego cursed when he noticed Stan was gone.

"Diego, Language", Allison scolded, Diego didn't have time to even comment. After all, he gotta find his own kid.

He wished he could stick around with his niece but priorities.

It took a good 30 minutes to find Stan, he was just wandering around. "Ow dude what the fu-", Stan said when Diego grabbed his jacket from behind.

"Language and I told you to stop running off", Diego was so tired, he just wanted some peace. "Look", Diego grabbed Stan by the shoulders, "you're going to stop doing all that shit you keep doing. If you don't, then I swear that your ass will be sore by tomorrow".

"You wouldn't", Diego raised his brow at him, "oh but I will". It was quiet for a moment, both of them staring each other down.

"I hate you", Stan said looking Diego directly in the eyes, Diego felt a little.. hurt by that. It's maybe not the words Stan said, but the way he said it. So simple. Without hesitation.

  Okay.. it was the words too.

"Hey idiots", Lila greeted when she finally found them, Diego sighed turning away from Stan, trying not to be affected by his words.

"What's wrong with you?", Lila asked noticing his feelings, already? Damn. "I'm just tired. You", Diego said pointing at Stan but looking at lila, "Take him and watch your own kid while I take a nap".

Diego didn't wait for her reply, walking off without even saying anything to either of them. He just needed to sleep a bit and ignore a kid's hurtful words.

Stan will get over it eventually, he's just a little brat right now. He's going to be fine.. everything's going to be fine. Diego's not going to be like Reggie, he's a good dad. Stanley will never know what it was like with a father like Reggie and he won't have the same trauma.

This won't be generational trauma. That's something Diego just has to know. 

 

  Diego finally had some sleep, its felt so good to finally get some sleep. Without having to run around to find Stan before he sets the entire hotel on fire or have to get traps readying for when the sparrows attack.

“Allison”, Diego greets sitting down next to Allison and Claire, who was to busy coloring to greet or even notice him. “Hey Diego, sleep well?”, Allison asked politely, much more polite then she has been the last few days. Probably the discovery of her daughter?

“Yeah, I feel much better”, Diego said rubbing his eyes, then he realized it was a little to quiet.. where is his little brat?

“Have you seen Stan or Lila”, Diego asked Alison who shook her head. “I haven’t really been looking, just talking toc Claire”, Alison replied looking at her daughter lovingly, which is cute yeah, but Diego needs to go looking for Stan.. again.

“I’m sure they are fine, Diego. She’s his mom and has raised him for all those Years too”, Diego knew that, he did. He literally just met Stanley a few days ago, as Lila has known him since he was born. But it’s not his fault Lila is kind of… untrustworthy with any kid or person in general.

Diego did eventually leave the pair alone to look for Lila and Stanley, who apparently are very good at disappearing. Which is extremely, extremely, did he mention extremely? Annoying.

At this point he needs to get a tracker on Stanley.. and Lila while he is at it. Because this is like the 3rd time he’s lost the kid in the span of a few days.

He’s feeling a bit worried and anxious that he won’t find Stan or Lila. It’s true he loves Lila, but she is a little.. immature. Well they all are immature. But as soon as she gets mad at him or see’s him bond with his kid, she will most likely run off with the kid.

Diego just knows her, it’s definitely something she would do.

He just met his own son, after 12 years of not knowing. Or a week for him.. but anyways, he doesn’t want to lose more time just because he pissed off the baby mama. Pissed off the love of his life.

With Lila, anything could happen. She could have gone anywhere with Stanley, done anything.

By the time Diego went back to where Allison and his niece was earlier, he saw Lila and Stan sitting at the same table. Really… you’ve got to be kidding him.

“I’ve been running around looking for you two idiots everywhere”, Diego said annoyed at both of them, both looked unbothered though. “Letting you get your beauty sleep, since clearly you’ve been crabby”, Lila said making Stan snicker.

“And what in the fuck happened to your face”, Diego asked noticing the many Batman bandaids scattered all over his face, which weren’t there when he went to nap.

“My beauty you mean”, Stan asked sarcastically, Diego simply ignored him to look at Lila. “Calm down Daddy Diego, he just fell”, she could tell his tenseness at it.

“How did he fall?”, Diego asked looking back at Stan, Lila grimaced at Diego. “I pushed him obviously”, Lila sneered with a roll of her eyes.

Diego was not trying to blame her for Stan getting hurt, but he left Stan on his own and even when he watches him, he’s has not gotten hurt randomly.

That does boost his ego some, he’s a damn good dad. Maybe he should write a parenting book on how to parent? Yeah that would be a good idea, Viktor’s not the only person who can write books.

“Alright Batman, come on we are going to do something together”, Diego said pulling Stan up from his chair by his arm, “Hey, at least I’m on Brand Batman”, Stan retorted.

“Keep talking like that and we’ll add some Flash bandaids to you next”.

Notes:

Haven’t posted since august 12, but I decided to add this chapter to here. I’m thinking about eventually making this back into a daily thing once again.

Chapter 37: Halloween

Summary:

The Halloween with the Pitts-Hargreeves house hold.

Notes:

The costume idea is from https://at.tumblr.com/layingwithlay/lochrannn-look-at-lila-and-diego-and-stan-and/1xs0pfpv0ctf

Diego never really liked Halloween, not that he ever technically celebrated it. Every year on Halloween kids would dress up as super hero’s, monsters, villains, and any other ‘make believe’.

There was always a bunch of kids to dress up as the Umbrellas. He despises when he passes them by on the streets.. it feels like his life is a joke.

Someone’s costume to pretend they are for the night. They can take it off and never feel any of the pain they felt growing up like.. that.

But since becoming a dad, life has been way… different then before. In a many good ways and bad days. He loves Stan, Lila, and his little baby girl, they still challenge him everyday.

Plus his daughter is to little to go tricker or treating, or even know what that is. Stan does not have an interest in it, he’s ‘to cool’ for all that. Diego has never gone tricker or treating, but he has always seen the news where people can put whatever the hell in candy.

He would rather not risk that, Stan loves candy though. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to.. take him at least once time with Diego and Lila. He’s not exactly sure if his kid when with Trudy or not, he has no plans to ask because that might be personal for Stanley.

“Aren’t I to told to even go?”, Stan complained as they walked around the costume store, Diego only rolled his eyes.

“You’re literally 12, plus your short they probably will think your 10 or something”, Diego joked acting oblivious to Stan’s dark look, it’s hilarious how mad his kid gets when someone calls him short. Diego knows the feeling, he was pretty short compared to his siblings, besides Ben and Viktor, he was the shortest.

Diego makes sure Stanley knows when he’s joking around with him, which Diego gets bullied back a lot by a 12 year old so it’s very even.

He secretly finds it Cute that Stanley’s short for his age, he doesn’t really want Stanley to grow up more right now. He’s already missed so much of his life, so he has to cherish these k moments before Stan grows out of wanting to be like him.

Growing out of wanting Diego to teach him cool shit.. when Diego becomes his lame ass dad.

“I know what I want to be for Halloween”, Stan said from the other side of the aisle, Diego gave him a dead pan look when he held up a ‘number 2’ costume. Stanley smirked at him, “what? It’s so cool”.

“Okay you little shit, if you want to be me your going to have to dress in black and carry knives”, Diego said putting the costume on the highest shelf.. well Not highest, just tall enough where Stan can’t reach it. Isn’t very high though.

“Ooo really?”, Diego sighs and pulls Stanley along so he doesn’t lose him in the store (again). Of course his kid would be the only one coming to a trucker or treating with knives and weapons. Nope, he’s going to have to kidify it.

Diego saw some good family costumes that might be cute to go out in, they would really adorable costumes in his head.

“Really this is what you want us to be”, Stan asked looking into the cart, “I want something with blood”, he complained.

“No blood, you know damn well I don’t like seeing blood on you”, Diego said grabbing Stan’s face and squishing his cheeks, Stanley just frowned at him.

“Thats lame”, Stanley complained once again, Diego really didn’t care if he thought it was lame. He cannot stand the thought of anything like blood on his kids. It would make him paranoid and get flashbacks from his wonderful life before them.

“Fine but I better get a lot of candy”, Stan said to which Diego sighed, he’s going to have to take Stanley to a dentist after this.

 

Lila rolled her eyes at Diego’s costume idea, though she put it on anyway. Because hey, it’s a cute idea.

“I’ve never seen a hotter Morticia”, Diego said when Lila walked out, “Thanks Gomez”.

“This Is still a lame costume”, Stan complained dressed as Pugsley, which all he did was put on his stripped shirt and some jeans.

Diego thought his family looked great and his kids looked adorable in their costumes too. His baby girl was so precious for being a little Wednesday.

Diego did take Stan out tricker or treating down some rich looking neighborhood for the better candy. Which his number one rule was Stan was not allowed to eat anything until he checked it out first.

Diego thought it was cute that Stanley didn’t want to go to the houses without him. Which Diego didn’t mind, he could see the people giving our candy and see if they are sketchy too.

Diego might’ve made Stan go back home earlier then everyone else when Stan got enough candy in his bag. Of course his son didn’t care about It, since he likes being home anyways.

Most unsocial person Diego has met besides his own family.. which really makes him fit in with the family too. Lila and Stan both hate leaving and going into public places for to long. Diego hopes his daughter doesn’t like going out for the sake of the whole family.

“Did you two have fun?”, Lila asked when they got back, Diego nodded tiredly sitting next to Lila on the couch. “Next year I’ll just buy the candy”, Diego said exhaustedly rubbing his eyes.

They decided to put on some horror movies, not to scary per say, but not anything babyish. Stan fell asleep into the first one, so it was just them watching the movies after a while.

Diego would say it was a pretty good day, besides the fact Stan wanted to be a bloody killer or whatever. It was Diego’s first Halloween with both his kids, out of the many he has planned.

Chapter 38: Sharing clothes.

Summary:

3 times Stan has stolen his families clothes.

Notes:

Part 2 anyone?

  1. 

 

 

When Diego saw that for the first time Stanley wearing his hoodie, very oversized on him.

 

   He felt… happy? In a weird way, even though it was his favorite hoodie. It was so adorable on his kid, it clearly wasn’t going to fit anytime soon.

 

   But if Stanley liked his hoodie or any of his jackets then he will happily let him wear it.

 

   It’s not like Diego could fit into any of Stan’s jackets or hoodies, but at least his kid will be comfortable in the cold and warm. 

 

   Stanley was just chilling on the couch, watching whatever movie that was allowed for the kid’s part of Netflix. 

 

 Diego sat on the right side of him, leaning closer to him. 

 

   “Eres tan mono, hijo”, Diego said, noticing the way Stan got embarrassed in only way that a child can get when their parents embarrass them. 

 

   Stanley grumbles under his breath, but didn’t say anything. Diego took that as a winning pulling his kid closer to him so they could be warm together.

 

  Every time Stan falls asleep on Diego or is squished into his side, it seems that he runs warm. Which is perfect for Diego because he hates being cold and usually runs cold. 

 

 It’s a perfect mixture in Diego opinion. 

 

  2. 

    Lila could not find her favorite shirt, it’s literally the only one that fits over her perfectly with her Huge bowling ball stomach.

 

  If she finds Five in one of her shirts again she will beat the shit out of the little twig. 

 

  Someone must have stolen it, either because it’s a cool ass shirt or because they want to ruin her entire mood and life. 

 

  But when she finds the little shirt bandit, she couldn’t find herself to be mad.

 

 Stanley was Deep asleep in his bed, wearing her favorite amazing shirt. 

 

 Hey if that’s the one he took, then he certainly has class.

 

 She expects nothing less of her children, to be cultured on everything. Especially when it comes to music that has to be the most important thing in the universe. 

 

   She will allow the little punk to keep her shirt for now, doesn’t mean she’s always going to accept him stealing the only shirt she can wear right now… but he’s lucky he looks cute in it. 

   

3. 

  Klaus loves his random wacky style, that some how comes together. He steals clothes from all over for his amazing style.

 

   He’s happy when he notices someone else wearing clothes to resemble what he wears, especially since it’s his nephew!

 

  Klaus so literally so excited to see Stanley wearing his clothes, even if it might be his favorite jacket. With a wacky pattern that looks like it jumped out of the 80s.. 

 

   If he has at least someone in the family that understands style then his life goals will he complete or well at least one. 

 

  He needs to update Stan’s style with all the best, from his favorite funcle… okay that was cheesy but still.

 

 He will sneak his nephew out of school soon and take him on a surprise shopping trip. 

 

 They could paint nails and talk shit too… might as well steal Claire for it too. 

 

 Get the youngings to know how culture their uncle really is and make sure they know how to dress and act when they grow up. 

 

 Makes Klaus proud to be an uncle. 

  

Notes:

Happy 2023!! Haven’t posted since Halloween 2022, but I decided hey why not post a little update. I have more chapters and I’m thinking of redoing the series once again. Maybe not daily but something, anyways ideas are still open. And also I think my goal for this fic is 100 chapters at least. I’ve always wanted to do it but I’ve never had a chance too. This is the year I will.

Chapter 39: Drabble.

Summary:

Random headcannons. X.

• Diego gets extremely pissed and insecure when people ask who Stan’s ‘real parents’ are after saying they adopted him. Like fuck you. That’s why when people asked why Stan doesn’t resemble Him or Lila he says hes light skinned or that why does his skin tone have to match anyway. 
• Stan laughs at the worst possible moments, he can’t help it. It’s like his nervous habit and sometimes it slipped. Like the one time Uncle Luther was hysterically crying over something and the only thing Stanley thought to do was laugh. did NOT go over well. 
• some how he could dragged into being in a seance and summoning a ghost. He has to go to Klaus to make sure it’s not real. When Klaus starts screaming about something in the corner. Stan bolts.
• ends up sleeping in his parents room for like a month. 
• Stanley can’t swim and apparently neither can Diego. So when he falls into a pool’s deep end and the idiots Hero complex goes into full force.. Lila is the one who has to haul their asses out.
• Their swim lessons started the next day with a bunch of little kids. 
• Stan LOVES making terrible art and handing it to Diego and asking him with big eyes if he likes it. He will go out of his WAY to make Diego look bad in it too.
• When it ends up on the fridge it’s even better.
• Diego’s noticed Stan goes through fazes extremely fast. Almost to fast in his opinion, like his obsession with fire (still there but wayyy less). Then his obsession with knives life Diego lasted for a good month (he still likes them but it’s toned down much to Diego’s disappointment). Then he had an obsession with this one game and played it none stopped for a month. That went away. 
• diego is afraid of what might be his next adventure because can’t forget when he had a thing where he would only wake up Diego at night asking random questions. he ended up throwing the kid on the bed and stalking out of the room.
• Randomly after this 14th bday, Lila and Diego noticed Stan acting.. off. He had a lot of energy Bolting off the walls and shit. Then a few days later, he refused to get up from bed. Lila was afraid she already knew what it could be (her own childhood issues coming into play). 
• they got him taken into therapy and it turned out he was Bi polar. 
• Diego flips out if anyone says anything negatively about his kids. Just because Stan has behavior issues or whatever bullshit does not mean they have to treat him like shit.
• Stan licks all the icing off the Oreos to piss off Diego when he’s mad. 

Chapter 40: Choices we make

Summary:

Quick ending bc I wanted to have a small chapter because I started this July 2022 and wanted to end July 2023 lmao

   Diego can safely say that after all these years, he’s so glad that Lila came back to torture him and lied to him about Stan. Because without that he wouldn’t have the son he has today.

 He wouldn’t have the family he has either. 

 Family has never meant just blood, hell blood family sometimes aren’t even your family truly. It’s people you love and who you want to spend your time with, who you would go for war too.

 So watching your daughter graduate from kindergarten and your son from highschool… it just shows how much time can pass in a blink of an eye.

 Diego wouldn’t change a thing about his life even the apocalypses, murders, and horrible things that happened. 

 Without his traumas he wouldn’t who he was, wouldn’t be the Diego Lila fell in love with, the father that Stan looks up too, the father who Gracie has tea parties With.

 Who would’ve thought that the apocalypse could trigger all of this?

 Not Diego for sure. 

 

Notes:

It’s short but sweet
