Overwatch High School Family AU

(The Lindholms) Day 0

Brigitte Lindholm woke up slowly to the sound of her alarm clock blaring loudly. She groaned and slapped the alarm clock to silence it, then sat up in bed. She looked around at her room from her bed. The same red wallpaper, the same stained gray carpets, and the same decorations that were sprawled all around her room. She sighed and got out of bed and slipped into her cat slippers. Brigitte has a strong love for cats...and sweets. With all the junk food she eats, she's surprised she's not diabetic or morbidly obese yet. Maybe it's because of her favourite activity...exercise. Not many teenagers like exercise, and Brigitte doesn't know why she loves it, but she thinks it's because of the adrenaline rush it give her.

She walked over to her closet and started to choose and outfit for the day. That's when she realized it was the last day of summer, and that she and her other siblings would have to start school tomorrow. She rolled her eyes at the thought and continued to rummage through her closet. She eventually chose to wear a pair of denim shorts, a black tank top with a calico cat design, and her usual pair of black converse sneakers. But before she could get dressed, she needed to shower. She took everything that she was going to wear in her arms and walked out her room and over to the bathroom. Brigitte always wakes up early, even before her parents! So she's always the first child to reach the showers, much to her sibling's dislike, as they are usually awake around the time she gets out of the shower.

She giggled as she walked into the bathroom and locked the door. She set her clothes on the counter and started to look in the bathroom closet for her towel. Once she found it, she also set it on the counter and began to start her shower.

-Timeskip to when she's done-

Once Brigitte was done in the shower, she quickly dried off and began to change into her clothes. Once she was dressed, she went through the bathroom closet once again to look for her makeup box. Brigitte's not a fan of being extra with her makeup. She chooses to apply foundation on certain areas, a faint brown lipstick, and some eyeliner. Finally, she was ready for the day, and it's only 10:30am! She smiled and put her pajamas and towel in the bathroom hamper before walking out. A line had begun at the door and once the door opened, Brigitte's siblings scrambled to get in. She chuckled and walked downstairs. In the kitchen, she saw her mother Ingrid, cooking buttermilk pancakes with eggs and sausage. Brigitte felt like she was drooling once she smelled the delicious scent of her mother's cooking. She smiled and sat at the long dining table.

"Hi mom! That smells really good!" Brigitte said happily as she waited to be served. Her mother chuckled. "Thank you, dear. Could you do me a quick favour before I serve breakfast?" She asked. Brigitte nodded. "Sure, what do you need?"
"Your father went into the garage to get a head start on a big costumer project and breakfast is nearly ready. Could you please go get him? A delicious breakfast for the both of you will be served when you get back." Her mother said with a smile. Brigitte jokingly gave a salute. "Sure thing! Be right back!" She left the dining room then made her way out the front door, making sure not to let the family cat Gustav out. She walked over to the open garage and saw her father working on a very beat up car. "Woah dad...This is the costumer project you were talking about?" Brigitte asked. Noticing that his daughter was now in his presence he stopped working and turned to face her.

"Yeah well, they are paying quite handsomely if I get this done by Friday." He said whilst eyeballing the hunk of junk. Brigitte's eyes sparkled. "You should let me help you! I could help repair the engine and give it a nice paint job!" Torbjorn chuckled. "Haha, I guess I could. Now, why are you out here? Does your mother need something?"
"Yes, us actually! She said that by the time we come inside, a delicious breakfast will be served to us!" Torbjorn snapped his fingers. "Then let's get in there already! I'm starving!" Brigitte cheered as she and her father started to head inside. They got back into the kitchen and by then, most of Brigitte's siblings were awake and eating breakfast. They took their seat at the table and sure enough a delicious breakfast was served to them. "Brigitte, what do you want to drink, dear?" Her mother asked. Brigitte thought for a moment before answering. "Hm, just a glass of water please!" Her mother smiled and faced Torbjorn. "And what about you, darling?" She asked. "How about some milk, dear?" Ingrid nodded and kissed Torbjorn's forehead the younger children at the table acted grossed out at the action, except for Brigitte. She smiled at how in love her mother and father still are, and deep down she hopes that she can find love just like that.

While the family ate their breakfast, Ingrid started to cough violently. Torbjorn looked at her with a worried look. "Are you okay, dear?" He asked. When her coughing fit stopped, she replied back to her worried husband. "I'm fine, I just...don't feel too well. I think I just might have a cold." She said. Torbjorn got out of his seat and took Ingrid's plate. "Go upstairs and lay down, I'll bring your breakfast and some cold medicine to you so you can have it in bed." Ingrid smiled. "Well, Okay." As Torbjorn helped his wife upstairs and into their bedroom, the children talked amongst themselves. Things like, "Yuck, they kissed!" And also, "They are way too lovey-dovey." Brigitte chuckled as she finished her breakfast and cleaned up her area. "I think it's adorable." She said under her breath. Just as Brigitte was about to leave the kitchen, her father came back. "Well, with your mother sick I don't see how we can go to the barbecue tonight." He said. Some children were bummed out, others happy because they could stay home and watch movies and things like that. Brigitte was bummed out. She was looking forward to seeing her younger friends, Satya and Hana. Oh well, at least she'll see them tomorrow.

"So dad, can I help out with the car?" She asked. Her father shook his head. "Sorry Brigitte, but I want you to stay inside and look after your mother. If she needs anything, please get it for her." Brigitte sighed then smiled. She wanted to work on the car, but knowing that her mom is sick and could need help getting something, she agreed. "Okay dad, I'll look after her."

-Timeskip to dinner time-

All day, Brigitte spent doing her mother's chores and helping her with anything she may have needed. Dinner time rolled around and with her mother sick, Brigitte didn't know what they were going to have. She walked downstairs and into the garage to see her father still working underneath the car. She knocked on the wall. "Hey dad? What's for dinner?" She asked. Torbjorn rubbed his chin. "Hmm...I'm not sure. Oh wait! I have an idea. Why don't you take your siblings down to Maria's?" He suggested. Maria's is a pizza shop in town. "I can do that. You want me to get something for you and mom?" She asked. Torbjorn shook his head. "No no, I'm going to make us both some soup. Besides, it's you and your brother's and sister's last day before school starts tomorrow! Why not have some fun?" Brigitte smiled. "Okay, then! I'll gather everyone up then we'll be on our way!" Torbjorn smiled and headed inside with his daughter as she called all of her sibling's names to come downstairs. He decided to stay inside for the rest of the night to care for his sick wife.

Brigitte had all of her siblings get in her van, that was big enough for lots of people. Good when you have lots of siblings. She drove them down to Maria's and they happily ate a delicious pizza dinner. But boy was that check awful. It's a lucky thing that Brigitte's part time job at her father's auto parts shop pays well. Once they were all done with dinner they drove back home. By the time they got back, it was dark and everyone was tired. When they walked inside, she told her younger siblings to get ready for bed and she would do the same. On her way to her room, she passed by her parents room and their door was slightly cracked. She peeled through and saw her mother sleeping and her father right beside her, reading a book. She smiled and continued to get ready for bed.

Brigitte walked into her closet and started to pick out something to wear for her first day back to school. She decided to go with her 'I love food, therefore I love exercise' shirt, a pair of denim shorts, some white knee high socks, and her pair of black converse. She set her outfit on her dresser to get to in the morning and began to change into one of her many cat pajamas. Once that was done she turned off the lights and walked to her bed, where she then comfortably snuggled into her bedsheets. She set her alarm then began to fall asleep, anticipating the day tomorrow.
