We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals

October 1st 1989 11:58 am

A young red haired teen sits on a hospital bed surrounded by her family. She looked weak and tired but had a large grin on her face as a man in a white coat told her some news.

"It looks like you are gonna get that wish you've been waiting for." The doctor says softly

"I get to go to Disney world?" She asks excited but was soon thrown into a coughing fit.

The doctor nods gently "yes dear." He says "now we should talk about safety proced-"

He was cut off by the young girl screaming in pain. Suddenly her extremely small stomach was replaced by a large bump. There was blood seeping through the blankets and her shorts.

Moments later she is laying limp on her bed. Her parents were hugging and crying. And the doctor held a healthy baby girl in his arms.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves rushes down the hall and into the room where the young baby girl lay in a cradle next to the grieving parents "wonderful. How much do you want for it?" He asks as he lets the baby girl grip his finger.

The couple look at each other and the man answers "100 million." And with that Alba Hargreeves was taken and trained with seven other children.

Alba's POV-
March 22nd 2019. 6:30 pm

I sigh as I stand outside waiting for my 5 year old daughter Shiloh to come out of her ballet class. I grin wide as I see her little form run out in a green long sleeve leotard, white tutu, white tights and green tennis shoes. She always refused to where her pointe shoes outside. She says that they are only meant for dance class and competitions.

"Mummy!" She squeals as she runs and jumps into my arms.

"Hey baby! How was dance?" I asks as I pick her up and spin her around.

"Soo fun! I learned how to do a plie!" She says with a slur from her newly lost front tooth.

"You'll need to show mummy when we get home" I say and open the back door of my car and place her in her car seat. I buckle her up and hand her the kids meal I bought her. Then i get in and start driving home.

"Radio please?" Shiloh asks and I reach over and turn on some music "news?" I chuckle and turn on the news. I turn it up some and listen with Shiloh.

I smile and watch the road before suddenly I tune into the news "this just in it has been confirmed moments ago that the eccentric billionaire known as Sir Reginald Hargreeves has died. The cause? Heart attack," I feel my breath leave my body and glance back at Shiloh "our condolences go out to his family. Which include famous actress Allison Hargreeves-"

I turn off the radio and sigh "Shiloh honey? How would you like to see your aunts and uncles?"

Shiloh looks at me "grandpa is dead?"

I nod "yes honey, he is." I turn to our street and park in front of the bar 'The Cold Spot'.

I have owned this bar since I was 19.

I get out and help Shiloh out before leading her inside and upstairs to our apartment. "Lets get you ready for bed and then we should start packing."

Shiloh nods and goes to her room to grab her jammies.

I sighs and swallow as I glance at the picture on my wall. It was my father. I know he was a monster but he was my father. He helped me with my custody battle. He helped me with Shiloh's powers. And now he was dead.

"Fuck" I mumble before going to the bathroom and starting the bath.
