Tiny Dancer

Reunion

I stood outside the building and felt all the memories slamming hard on me, "Mommy why are you scared?"

"What no."

"Mommy don't lie, I see it."

"See what baby?"

"The memories. I'm sorry, mommy."

"No baby it's okay. Daddy isn't here to stop your powers."

She took my hand and gave it a squeeze and we walked in, "hello?"

The first person I see is, "Allison?"

"Naomi?"

I was wrapped into a carefully awkward hug by her, since we never really had any bond,

Grace peaked behind me and caught Allison's attention."Whose this?"

"Allison meet your niece, Grace. Grace sweetie this is your Auntie Allison."

She giggled while holding my leg and whispered, "The gossiper."

The door closed and we recognized who it was instantly, "Vanya?"

"Hey Naomi, Allison."

"Auntie Vanya!"

"Hey there, Grace"

Grace runs up to her and wraps her arms around Vanya's waist, who smiles softly and ruffles her hair. Vanya gave me a weak smile and gave me a tight hug.

"Hey V."

"Hey Naomi, how's Abe and the-"

I quickly sent her a look telling her to keep quiet before tears started filling my eyes Vanya understood and wrapped me in another tight hug and whispered in my ear, " I never liked him anyway."

I gave her a weak chuckle and asked,"When's your next rehearsal?"

Vanya opened her mouth to say something until I heard a familiar voice, "What is she doing here? You don't belong here, not after what you did."

Allison snapped, "Really Diego today? Way to dress for the occasion by the way."

"At least I'm wearing black."

I snorted drawing Diego's attention and I stiffly greeted him, "Diego."

He nodded replied, "Naomi."

I felt Grace mentally tease me and I felt my cheeks turning red I looked down at Grace and squeeze her hand. I look back up at Diego and he looked shocked," She yours?"

"Yes this is Grace,"I looked down at Grace and said," Sweetie this is Diego."

He gave me a weak smile and he walked off, I felt the tears spilling out of eyes and I felt Grace squeeze my hand and she whispered,"Don't worry mommy he's okay he's just a little sad, he's happy for you."

Grace and I were wandering around the house when we reached dad's office and we heard voices in there and I immediately realized who it was.

"Klaus?"

His head turned away from Allison and a sad smile appeared on his face,"meine Zwillingsschwester (my twin sister)!"

He threw his arms around me, engulfing me in a hug as the smell of smoke and alcohol filled my nostrils, and when we broke away from the hug he let out a dramatic gasp,"this is perfect! Two famous people in the room! Naomi can I get your autograph as well? I want to add it to my collection!"

Grace giggled drawing Klaus' attention to her, "Who must you be?"

"I'm Grace you're ghost boy mommy's twin brother!"
