(Author's Point-of-view)

A few days has passed since the drive out with Ambrocios, and (Y/N) has been clicking away on their laptop, focused on the task at hand. Currently, they have decided to stay over at the married couple's house.

Anna was out at the moment, having a shift at the hospital while Gabriel was downstairs cooking lunch for the inhabitants that were left within the cozy home. A few steps away from the room Y/N lounged in, were fraternal twins playing with the toys in their hands.

Elijah and Sarah, Gabriel and Anna's children. They were currently both 3 years old, Sarah took after her father, being interested in cars and mechanical related items, though she has her mother's fighting spirit and confident attitude. As for Elijah, he takes after his mother, picking up a book (picture book for kids) at such an early age and has an interest in cooking, while Sarah is confident and proud, Elijah was more shy and nervous.

Either way, (Y/N) enjoys taking care of both of them, seeing them as little siblings of theirs. They looked up briefly from their laptop and smiled upon the sight of the twins doing their own thing, yet still managing to enjoy themselves.

"Gosh, I hate this thesis defense" (Y/N) grumbled, forcefully closing their laptop shut and placing it on top of a drawer. They walked towards the twins and plopped onto the floor, feeling a smile creep up to their face as they hear the twins laugh and pat their face.

"(N/N)" Gabriel called out, peeking his head through the door. He smiled upon the sight and walked towards (Y/N) pulling them upwards. "Come on, I know you're draining yourself with your last thesis defense so, come. I made some delicious ramen and tonkatsu since Anna requested it"

"Yes!" (Y/N) exclaimed. "Eli, Rara, come on let's go eat some lunch" They cheered, swiftly picking up the twins into their arms and running down the stairs to head to the dining table.

Upon arriving in the dining room, a picture frame caught their eye. It was an old photo of (Y/N) and Anna together in the beach. 16 year old Gabriel was of course holding the camera and pulling out a peace sign while grinning, 14 year old Anna was by the water laughing, her face frozen in moment, and there was mini 7 year old (Y/N) on her back, getting a piggy back ride.

They smiled softly to themselves as they remembered how this photo was taken. It was 10 years ago.

-Flashback-

It was a sunny day at the Nicholas' house, that day, Y/N and their family went to visit Anna and her family.

It just so happen, that Gabriel was there as well lounging around with the girl he loves.

"Uhhhh I'M SO BORED AND IT'S SOOOOOO HOOOTT" Anna complains. "I knooooooooowww" Y/N agrees.

"I'm used to these weather, you guys are just weak" Gabriel snickered which earned a smack from Anna and a cackle from
Y/N.

"Anna! Y/N! Gabriel! Pack your stuff kiddos we're going to the beach!!" Anna's mother says. Y/N  shot up from where they were laying down on the floor and looked at Anna who was scrolling on her phone on top of her bed, cuddled to Gabriel.

The three shared a look and scrambled out of their current positions. Anna and Y/N helped each other by packing the clothes while Gabriel busied himself with packing the toiletries for the three of them.

They all shared one big duffle bag. They recounted and made sure they had everything.

"Swimsuits?" "Wearing it" "I have it on"
"Change of clothes?" "It's in the duffle bag already, dear." "What Riri said"
"Toiletries? Sunscreen? Soap? Shampoo? Scrub? Lotion? Powder?" "Check, check, check, check, check, check, and check"
"Chargers? Powerbanks?" "All here."
"What about-" "My sandcastle building equipment is missing!"

Gabriel and Anna shared a look. Gabriel swiftly picked up the tearing Y/N while Anna looked around the room for a sign of their sandcastle building toys.

"Shh.. it's alright, we'll find your toys" Gabriel assured. He turned to look at them and asked, "Do you remember where you last put it?" They sniffled "I don't remember.."

"That's alright" He smiled. "Found it!" Anna called out from the other room. She entered her room again a huge grin on her face as she held up the toys in her arms and showed a familiar doll.

"Bepo!" Y/N cheered, holding the white polar bear plush close to themselves. "I didn't even notice he was missing." They muttered.

Gabriel placed down Y/N and packed the toys away, leaving Bepo in Y/N's arms. He swiftly picked up the bag while Anna unplugged her phone, placed it in her bag and picked up Y/N.

"Kids! Are you ready to go??" Anna's mother called out. "Yep! We're on our way down!" Gabriel yelled.

After all the commotions that happened within the house. The two families left for the beach.

Arriving the two best friends enjoyed themselves. The mother and aunt of the two taking pictures. One particularly that the two asked for to keep.

Tearing up a bit, Y/n quickly got back to what they were doing.

-Timeskip-

While at the car, Anna began thinking about her older brother again. As if on cue, her phone began wringing, indicating that someone's calling, taking a quick look, she began to smile as she saw the name.

Besprend❤️

Answering the phone quickly, "Hey what's up?"
"Anna, help me"
"What happened"
"PHIL'S ATTACKING ME- OW?!"
"HAHAHAHA YOUR FAULT NOT MINE ANYMORE WHADDYA DO THIS TIKE TO HIM"
"I JUST SAID THAT I NEED TO GIVE FREDDIE ATTENTION TOO!"
"CROWS ARE REALLY DRAMATIC AND SENSITIVE Y/N"
"I'M SORRY-"

-call ended-

Signals gone now, well, time to see my family again
