Jin POV

Alesa tensed up and held the trembling Matthew closer, Arthur looked confused at the group in the room holding onto Mason's arm. Mason made a noise in the back of his throat, directed at Matthew from what I could tell. I felt a small part of me crumble, if Max was near a sobbing mess then what about Ross?

"Wait, are you saying – oh god where is he?" I asked standing up so fast I almost hit Red in the face, Max looked up as if not surprised by my reaction.

"Hope said that we should give him a bit, he'll need a bit of time to be able to form coherent sentences" Max said grabbing my wrist and pulling me back slightly, I nearly ripped him out of his chair snatching my wrist back.

"Why can't we just go to support him in his time of need?" I asked a bit more violently than I intended rubbing my wrist, he has a fucking iron grip I swear. Max sighed and rubbed his face he stopped mid rub looking at Alesa, he stood up looking slightly panicked placing Pandora down on the chair.

"What's wrong with Mattie?" he asked making all of us look over to the shivering child, she was curled up in on herself shaking, I could hear her ragged breathing and almost feel her fear as if it was pliable. She whimpered and curled into a tighter ball, Mason made a hand grabby motion at Adam pointing at Arthur. Adam quickly complied picking up Arthur, as soon as he did Mason scrambled to Matthew he made a deep noise in the back of his throat and touched her shoulder. She shot up and fell of the bed.

"Oh shIT" TimTim yelped catching her at the last second, she looked at TimTim her eyes wide and filled with tears she pressed her back into his chest clutching her head whimpering. Mason, Newt, and Pandora made sounds of distress and held their hands out to her.

"What's wrong with her TimTim!" Max all but shouted getting more panicked by the second, Alesa held Mason looking terrified at the whimpering child. Arthur looked confused at the sudden commotion in the room but thank Jesus wasn't crying.

"I don't know!" he said franticly bouncing her, she looked up teary eyed looking around us all franticly. She looked at the door and her pupils dilated as her breathing increased in speed, she gripped onto TimTim's shirt and opened her mouth as if she was trying to scream.

"H-h-h" She stuttered clutching her head and screamed a heart shattering noise, "H-h-help!" she cried making Max's face pale even more than it already was, he practically jumped over the hospital bed and held his crying daughter.

"Shit" he mumbled "Matthew look at me" he said waiting until she released her own head to look at his brown eyes, Max patted his face "I'm here, see I'm real" he said grabbing her hand and placing it on his cheek. Matthew's breath seemed to catch in her throat and she reached up and placed a hand on his beard.

"R-r-real-l?" she stuttered tracing every inch of Max's face with her small hands, Max smiled and nodded. I could hear Red burry his head in Barneys shoulder to muffle a soft sob, was this a regular thing? Was Matthew seeing something? How often does she see things, sure we all saw things when we were small, but this- this is heart breaking.

"Who'd you see?" Max asked softly as Matthew was tracing his lips, she looked him in the eye and opened her mouth. Closed it and let her eyes flit across his face blankly as if looking through a mental phone book.

"Z-Zac-c-char-r-ry." she stumbled over her words as her eyes continued to scan over her mental phonebook, more of a word bank now that I think about it. Max froze up and let his eyes stare off.

"Alesa can you watch her?" he asked blankly still looking at nothing "Me and the guys are going to check on Ross" he said placing the calmed Matthew down on the foot of the bed, her eyes locking onto the wall flicking around to follow something. Max didn't even see Alesa nod before he speed walked out of the room, me and Adam in hot pursuit.

"What the fuck was all of that Max" Adam asked nearly pinning Max to the hallway wall, I was pretty damn close to it too. This is some shit that I would have loved to know about when I was babysitting, in case that shit happened on my watch.

"She knew his name" He said softly looking up at use with patented Ross puppy eyes "When you have a stillbirth you still have to name them, Ross was stuck on the name Zachary. So Zachary was what we named him, Matthew saw him. I don't know about you guys but sometimes, she scares me. She acts like there's something following us around all the time, like there are things dancing the mambo behind us. She's only a fucking child" he said going to slide down the wall, Adam made sure he didn't.

"Hold up there cowboy" he said with a slight hinge of paranoia in his voice masked by the strain of lifting the heavy ass man. "Zachary is a common name, I've heard Barney and Red discussing names for children they might have, and I will bet my soul Zachary was one of them" He said looking at Max's defeated looking face.

"She said she saw Isabella" He said hoarsely looking up at Adam who looked just as shocked as me, "She tells me that she has Alesa's hair, your eyes. Says that she loves to create things, to try and make her laugh." He stops to think "And that she looks hurt when you walk past her, when nobody notices her." Max looks at Adam who looks close to punching Max.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" he hissed letting Max fall to the floor, "What the hell is wrong with you!" He growled running a hand through his hair, "Saying that she can see your stillborn, fine by fucking me. But there is no way in hell she can see Izzy, that she is a ghost? To say that she doesn't know that she's not alive? What kind of sick fucked up shit are you telling this child" Adam asked close to yelling, I felt my blood freeze. Isabelle was Alesa's miscarriage, Matthew wasn't even born then.

"MAX" a semi high pitch squeak said from the end of the hallway, a blur of black and white slid in front of Max nearly making Adam fall over. "Oh dear Jesus, Max look at me how many fingers am I holding up?" The girl said holding two fingers in front of Max while her other hand went to his neck to check for a pulse.

"Hope my God" He said weakly swatting her hand away, "I'm fucking tired, imp not dying" he said letting the short girl help him to his feet.

"Right" She said sarcastically placing one hand on his hip and the other under his arm "Give me a few steps, Ross should be good now so you can go in for visitors" she said walking with Max as he did what she told. "Good boy" she said patting his cheek. "And Adam, Jin" she said turning to us.

"Yes?" we both said, imp pretty sure it came out as more of a squeak from me, Adam's voice cracked about three times in that simple word. Something about this short girl was fucking intimidating, I really want to know why now. Hope took a step up closer to us and simultaneously bitch slapped both of us. Making us both hold our cheeks after a particularly deadish cat noise came out of our mouths.

"Listen to me you little shits" She growled grabbing us by the ears dragging us down to her size, "Stop giving him hell. Matthew isn't exactly in the best mental state for a child, imp surprised she actually managed to stay sane this long without too many psychological effects. And correct me if I'm wrong but Max and Ross are going through the same thing you did, so go easy on them. And Jin stop being a little bitch when someone is getting into a fight, try and stop it" she said glaring at us both one last time before letting go of our ears.

"Damn" Barney and Red said from behind us "I would pay to watch that again" they said laughing until Hope glared at them.

"Okay then" hope said smiling again like scaring the living shit out of us never happened, she looked at her Apple watch reading a notification "Hospital required" she said at me and Barneys equal looks of confusion. "Okay, Ross and Mark are actually in the lobby sighing out" She said tapping her watch.

"Thanks Hope" Max said planting a quick kiss on her head before rushing to the front, we probably looked really confused when she looked up.

"I'm gay okay?" she rolled her eyes and tapped her watch again "It's a platonic thing you conclusion jumping bastards"

A/n Okay I'm alive. But now I need you guys to tell me what POV you want the next chapter to be. If it's a Matthew chapter please also leave a song that I can base it off of. And besides that, hi. I'm not dead, just in vacation for who the hell knows how long. But I shall be writing and updating as frequently as possible.
