☔THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY☔ (ONE SHOTS)

Home Again 3-Five Hargreeves☔

"Violet be careful! And don't get too close to those geese!" I shout loud enough so my daughter would hear. She gives me a big thumbs up and ran over by the bridge and stared at the animals honking and walking around terrorizing some people.

"Don't worry about her, though I won't hesitate to shoot one of those things if they harm her." Five says staring at Violet then walking closer to where I was sitting and sat down beside me. Today I was feeling happy and different so I begged Five to come with me and Violet to the park to get some fresh air and our mind off of things, which in his case it would be the apocalypse.

"You should start enjoying the small things in life." I lean back and smile at Five who's focused on Violet so she doesn't get hurt.

"I'll start enjoying them once I know the apocalypse is over." He bluntly tells me still focused on Violet.

I decide to tease him, "I see your paternal instincts are kicking in." Five turns to me not hiding his surprised face. Quickly he scoffs and sarcastically laughs.

"Hell no. Having a kid around would be my worst nightmare not to mention raising one." I try to hide that I'm not upset.

"I mean..you would make a good dad..your strict..umm blunt..and.." I can't come up with anything more so he just stared at me like I'm crazy.

"Let's face it. I would be like the old man when it comes to kids."

We both stare ahead and see Violet climbing up the stairs to a wooden his before she runs across a bridge and comes down from the slide. "Mom don't you want to play with me?" Violet excitedly asks me. I shake my head embarrassed that Five might make fun of me knowing that I play with a little girl.

"Not today honey."

"Aww come on." She pouts and stares at me with teary eyes. She makes such a fine actress sometimes. Five again sighs and rolls his eyes and stand up from my side.

"Lead the way, Violet."

Violets eyes light up and she hurriedly rush towards us and grabs Fives hand leading him up the tree house like playground. I can't help but giggle knowing he hates it when people touches him. I look to my left and glance at the mannequin sitting next to me, making feel weird from the stares I get from people passing by.

"So..you're the one who's been keeping him company?" I ask definitely not expecting an answer from Dolores.

"Hey kids why don't we head out for some ice cream." I call out to which Violet smiles side and Five frowns. We started walking down the streets, with Five carrying Dolores and Violet holding my hand.

"Can I have my favorite?" Violet asks me when we went up to see the different flavored ice creams on display. I glance back and see Five talking to Dolores while sitting by the window. "Sure. I'd like an ice cream sundae with extra sprinkles please." I tell the cashier who flashes a smile and starts preparing it.

"Aren't you going to eat something mom? How about Five?" That's weird. Violet has called him Uncle Five a few times but recently just calls him Five?

"I didn't bring enough money. Maybe next time okay?" Violet frowns and walks over to the cashier to grab some napkins after grabbing her sundae and I follow her to the table.

"Sorry it took so long." I tell Five and Dolores and sat in front of him with Violet facing Dolores. "So is there anyway we can stop you know what." I tell him a without saying 'apocalyse' I don't want Violet to get scared.

"I was going to investigate this eye but decided to come here instead." Five holds up an eye which almost made me gag and Violet stared at it with her eyebrows raised.

"Thats disgusting" she mutters going back to eating her ice cream.

"All I have to do is find it owner and prevent all this shit from happening. So I need you to take care of Dolores while I'm off."

I stare at his dark eyes and scoff to myself, "I'm not a babysitter, Five. I want to help you in anything I can." I fight back to he's quicker to answer.

"You can help by staying still and not doing anything. Our brothers are the ones that should be helping me since they aren't doing anything, they're all so useless."

Five takes a second to breathe and smiles at Dolores. "You're probably the smartest person I know." That makes my blood boil a bit. I slam my hands against the table making him look at me a bit surprised since he doesn't see me angry often.

"I can be strong you know! and having a kid doesn't make me useless. I may not use my powers anymore like I used to but I can still fight the bad guys. I don't want anything to happen to my family anymore so with our without your help I'll stop the apocalypse!-" I stop when someone tapped my shoulder and saw the young man who was behind the cashier holding up a strawberry milkshake in his hand.

"Umm here's your milkshake." He awkwardly says playing it in front of me. "Hey who's it from?!" I shout standing up and looking to where he ran off but got no answer.

I groan loudly and sat down with the milkshake in front of me and two straws on it. This is awkward. I glance up at Five who's also silent and I fake a cough and move the milkshake closer between us.

"..Want to share?" I ask quietly. Five seems unsure but reluctantly agrees and we awkwardly share our drink.

"This reminds me when I was younger."

"Don't you mean when we were younger?" Five corrects which makes me laugh. "I always liked hearing your laughing. Not to mention it's quite amusing seeing you all angered up." I cant help but blush.

I feel eyes on us so we both turn sideways and see my daughter staring at us almost adoringly? "W-What's wrong Violet?" I stutter and she fails to hide a smile.

"Nothing mommy." She says with a small chuckle. "It's working." I hear her whisper to herself and glance up at Five. They stay at each other for a split second.

"Violet what are you-" Five jumps up all of the sudden and claps his hands together.

"Okay I think its time to leave." He says with a smile and turns away from me before grabbing Dolores and leaving us alone. What the hell just happened? I feel kind of upset. I look back and see Violet looking sadly ahead at where Five just disappeared, a small frown appearing on her small face.
