☔THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY☔ (ONE SHOTS)

Yesterday-Ben Hargreeves☔

I let out a groan and let myself fall onto the couch, "I'm so tired." I tell myself and buried my head onto a pillow. The apartment is quiet and peaceful for once, except for the pouring rain outside. This only makes me want to fall asleep and take in that i'm alone for once.

But soon as I got myself comfortable the door opened and in came Ben with two kids in hand. I internally cry but smiled looking back at them three.

"Look who's on the couch." Ben points out to the two little kids and they smile running over to me.

"Mommy!" They each hug me and Ben chuckled at the view and began to take off his hoodie and I take off my kids wet clothes. "Make sure to wear your warm pijamas so you won't get sick!" I call out when both twins begin to run to their room.

Ben tiredly sighs and sits next to me, he's quick to reach over the table and continue his reading before the kids begged him to take them to the park that's in front of the building.

"Some peace and quiet..you know I had to carry them both since they refused to leave." Ben says looking over to me and taking my hand in his.

I smile and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Well that's nothing new, I'm sorry you had to go alone while I went out for groceries."

Ben smiles and kisses the top of my head. "I wanted you to take things easy, they are my kids too so I do enjoy their company. I do admit it is hard for me to continue with my books since they are always asking me to come play with them."

He's been looking a lot more tired lately since he's been watching over them since we don't want to ask Vanya to regularly take care of them. Both of us went through a lot at the Academy so moving out and having kids wasn't the best plan.

But we never regretted it.

"Don't worry read your book i'll look after them." I patted his knee and stood up from the couch. I made my way to their room and peeked in and saw them playing on the floor in their onesies, but as soon as I was about to enter the lights went out and it began to thunder.

Both of them quickly got up and ran over to hug my legs. "Mom, we're scared." They both said crying a bit. My daughter held onto me tight and my son silently cried and held onto my sweater.

He's so much like Ben when he was little. I ran my fingers through their hair and carried my son over to where Ben was when my daughter reached his side and held him tight whenever thunder could be heard. Ben smiled and held her in his arms, "How's the little guy doing?" He asked looking up at me from his spot and I turned around.

Our son had his eyes shut and had his arms and legs around me. "He's so much like you." I tease him and Ben rolls his eyes and I moved over to sit on the couch again. We had three flashlights and heard the rain getting even heavier.

"I know just the thing that will make them calm down." I laughed and tried getting my son off of me which was hard but I did and both of them clung onto Ben. I ran behind the tv and got my acoustic guitar and began playing the familiar chords and began to sing.

" Yesterday

All my troubles seemed

So far away

Now it looks as through

They're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday"

Ben and our kids stayed silent and listened to me sing. This always seem to work whenever my kids are scared or nervous. Ben on the other hand, he always loved this song and insisted on me to learn it when we were little. He found the guitar all dirty and unused back then at the Academy and from there I learned how to place Yesterday.

I hummed the last part and looked over and saw the twins surprisingly asleep and Ben looking at me lovingly. "Yesterday. Ever since you sang that song you won me over you know?" He asks smirking and I feel myself getting flustered.

"I thought I already did." I tease him back and hear him chuckle. "You did but you won be over completely with that song and from there on I know I'd have to have you." I smile and look into his dark brown eyes.

"You're too sweet, Ben."

"I am. In fact look at us now we're living together with two kids. Reginald would've kicked our butts if he'd see us right now." Ben says and I can agree. It's one the reasons our father..I mean Reginald kicked us out. Ben was to go on a mission and I stood up to him, he was correct about his suspicions about us. We were dating behind his back like Allison and Luther did, but the man got furious and kicked us out. We had very little money so somehow Klaus got some and lend it to us.

Klaus had this apartment somehow also, so he let us stay over. He rarely came here anyway so he gave it to us and would sometimes come and stay on the couch whenever he would feel tired or way to high to head out the streets.

It doesn't look like it but Klaus was amazing with the kids and would try his best to not let any dirty joke slip through him. He did make a good babysitter also whenever Ben and I would be busy some days. I haven't seen Klaus for a while so last thing I heard he was in rehab.

Ben and I grabbed the kids and placed them on their beds when the rain began to stop and we went to our room and held each other as we slept.

*********

"There you go." I smiled and set the last plate in front of the twins and we all sat together for breakfast. I made Ben an omelette with bacon, the twins wanted pancakes and I made myself the same.

"So what's the plan for today?" I ask my boyfriend and he stops eating and looks at me.

"Well the kids and I were planning to go to the library but it isn't a good idea now that I think about it. So we don't have a plan for today."

"How about we head the the aquarium?" I suggest which makes Ben look at me weird. "I thought you were working today." I shake my head.

I smile and take this hand. "Today i'm free so we can do whatever we want." The twins cheer and began eating their breakfast. When they were done they were all getting ready. I brushed my wet hair and went over to pick up the phone which was ringing.

It was Vanya and Five was back! They told me everything and what was about to happen. That made my blood run cold. "We need you and Ben. We have to prevent this from happening." Five said and hung up when we finished talking.

I couldn't move or say anything. This is scary. The apocalypse is in a week, what will this mean for Ben and us?

"Everything alright?" Ben asked coming into the kitchen and stared me me worried. "Vanya and Five called."

Ben raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Five is back?! When did he return? Are we going to check on him?" He continued to ask.

"The apocalypse is in a week." I muttered but Ben heard and he stopped asking questions. "What?" He went over to stand by my side and I explained to him everything.

Ben reached over and hugged me tight "They need us and I don't know what to do. I'm scared...we spent so much time together with the twins and we might lose them.." i began to cry and felt Ben rubbing my back.

" Yesterday love was such

An easy game to play.."

Ben began to whisper the lyrics to our song and continued to hug me. "Whatever happens, we'll get through it. The kids aren't going anywhere. I promise we'll stop this from happening (Y/N)."

I could only nod my head and give him a small smile. "Okay, Ben. I'll listen to you, we'll get through this." I hugged him again and I heard our kids in their room, excited about going to the aquarium but completely oblivious of what's to come.
