Even Bad Blood Is Thicker Than Water

A oneshot for 

AN: There's harmful language so you've been warned. It is censored, but I figured that I should warn you here and now. 

Adelaine's POV

Amèlie has grown so much. Jamie has too. I'm so happy that she's growing up to be a fine young lady! Jamie's enjoying elementary school, such a sweet boy. My daughter has come to consult me, or rather complain to me, about puberty and her popularity at school.

"It's so annoying, Mom!" Amèlie exclaims.

"I know the fame can be irritating, and me and your father being famous doesn't make it better," I reply.

"It's terrible. People expect so much of me just because I'm your daughter." She replies.

"I understand that, but you know that me and your father will love you no matter what you do with your life." I comfort.

"I'm supposed to be meeting with Sophia tomorrow to go painting... but I'm upset that I can't wear my white pants." Amèlie groans.

"It's a bad idea to wear white when you're on your period, I told you as such when you started getting your period a few months ago. It's alright though, paint still looks good on jeans." I reply.

"I just don't want to get cramps, that's the worst of it." She complains.

"I know. It really does suck. That's really the worst of it. However, there's plenty of Tylenol to take if you need to. Also, it'll all be worth it if you end up having kids one day." I assure.

"I didn't sign up for this." Amèlie huffs.

"Your dad got you a chocolate bar to help with your time of the month," I reply.

"Really? He's the best!" She beams.

"There are ways to combat the pains of puberty," I respond.

"Even my bit of acne doesn't deter guys from giving me attention. It's annoying. I wish people could leave me alone." Amèlie retorts.

"You'll find the right person whose attention you'll enjoy." I tease.

Hugh's POV

I love my kids, they're so cute and my goodness are they growing up! I am relaxing at home, sitting on the couch. I hold the TV remote, flipping through the channels. I was deep into the movie that was on when my phone started ringing. I pick up my phone and see that my phone was getting a call from a number that I didn't recognize. It's probably a fan. They always try to get my number and I get unknown numbers all the time. The number called back and I let it ring. Suddenly, that number texts me.

'I need your help, you're the only person that can help me. Please answer my call.' The text said.

'I have no idea who you are. Who are you? Are you sure that there's no one else who can help you?' I reply.

'Please just answer my call.' The person begs.

I sigh and they call again. I answer the call. The voice on the phone sounded strangely familiar. A thick Italian accent seems happy that I answered.

"Who is this?" I ask.

"You probably want nothing to do with me but I have no one else to turn to so... I suppose that I should reach out to my estranged brother." The voice says.

"Estranged brother? W-What?" I hum.

"It's me, Luca. Your brother. Please help me, I've been having the worst fucking day and I don't know what to do!" He replies.
