Once again I press the call button at the gate to my dad's house. I don't get an answer but the gate opens a few seconds later. Not surprising, I'm sure he still has a camera somewhere around the gate.

"T-this is where you g-grew up?" Bellamy asks as I pull into the driveway.

I sigh. "Yep."

"It-it's as big as-as Lita and Grandma's house." She exclaims in wonder.

I hum as I park in front of the four door garage.

That may be true but there's nothing in it but a lonely old man. He should sell it to be honest, I don't know why he still lives here.

Bellamy as always is already out and waiting at my door as I step out. I take in a deep breath as I close the door, then I grab Bell's hand. "Let's go."

"K." She answers, not seeming nervous in the slightest. Like I said she's always down for anything.

We walk our way up to the front door, and once we've made it, Bellamy does the honors of ringing the doorbell.

A few seconds go by before the door opens revealing dad at the door, a bright smile on his face as he looks at us.

"Hey." I greet him shortly because I'm only here to meet Will.

He nods and then looks at Bellamy his smile growing a he pockets his hands. "You must be Bellamy?"

I always hear that until they see what Ari looks like. Bellamy's a mini Ari just with wavy hair and an olive complexion.

"Yep." Bellamy grins. "And you're my grandpa."

He chuckles. "That I am, you two come in and meet Will."

He motions us in and steps out of the way as he yells for Will to come into the hallway.

The little boy who happens to be the spitting image of my father runs out the living room and stops in front of us. His hair blonde and eyes blue.

Blue eyes wide as he looks at Bellamy. "Bellamy? What are you d-doing here?"

"Wait..." she stares at him for few second before looking up at me with confusion on her face. "H-He's my uncle?"

I nod. "Yeah, do you two know each other?" I ask.

"Yeah, we're friends and we're in the same class." Will answers before adding with a smirk. "Cool, I'm your uncle."

"That's k-kinda weird." Bellamy says, making me snort.

Will tilts his head from side to side with a frown on his face. "Yeah a little." He agrees. "But you don't have to call me uncle."

"I-I'm not, don't w-worry." She assures, again making me snort.

Dad clasps his hands together. "Well isn't that a coincidence."

Actually I'm done calling him dad, he's Eric from now on. That is his name after all.

Will nods and looks at me. "It's so cool to finally meet you!" He says excitedly.

"I'm glad to finally meet you too, growing up I always wanted a sibling." I admit with a smile.

It's true, I felt so alone when I was younger, when it came to family anyway.

"Good because I'm gonna be the best brother!" He grins adorably.

I chuckle. "I have no doubt."

Erik looks at me. "The food is done if y'all are ready to eat."

I look down at my daughter. "Are you hungry, love?"

She nods. "A l-little."

"Me too." Will says in a gruffy voice, rubbing his belly. He's definitely gonna be a character.
