_________________________________________________

When the flash of light faded from your eyes you found yourself in the Hargrevees mansion standing next to the sofa you once fainted on. The time travel sensation was hard on your body. The baby wasn’t kicking anymore. It had moved low, causing you to cramp up, changing the shape of your bump. Your legs were suddenly wet and something warm trickled on to the floor. Klaus was the first to notice. He put his hand softly on your shoulder.

“Y/N, I think your wat-”

“Ahhhh!,” You cut him off with a scream. It was your first big contraction.

“Your water just broke.”

“I know, Klaus. I was an ER nurse, remember?  We have to time how far apart the contraaa -,“ you screamed again, doubled over in pain, tears leaking out of the corners of your eyes. Your screams had alerted the other Hargreeves siblings who came rushing down to see what was going on.

“Allison! Oh, thank god! What do we do? I’ve only seen this in the movies.” Klaus was frantic. Allison froze at the bottom of the stairs for a moment, then quickly sprang into action.

“Lay her down, get her a pillow for Christ’s sake!” She said, motioning to Klaus and Five. “And towels, we’re going to need towels,” she added.

“Shouldn’t we take you to the hospital?, “Klaus asked.

"We’re way past that,” you said, reaching into your leggings. You felt the silky wet top of the baby’s head. “This is happening nowwww,” you moaned.

The boys each grabbed an arm, laid you down on the Persian rug, and stuffed a pillow under your head. Klaus sat next to you on the floor, holding your hand and moving the stubborn sweaty strands of hair away from your face. You looked up at him and smiled until the pain made your face go sour again. Luther and Diego ran in from opposite sides of the room each with an armful of towels. “Throw them here!,” Alison shouted. She placed them under your rear as you pulled off your leggings, modesty be damned. Diego and Luther both turned abruptly away from the sight of your partial nudity. Allison rolled her eyes and spread one of the extra towels over your bent legs. “She’s decent now, boys,” she sighed. Five just continued his casual observation. You never pictured doing this with such a large audience.

“Okay, Y/N, I think you’re gonna have to push now,” she said, looking up from between your thighs. She had a towel poised and ready to receive the baby. You leaned forward, gripping Klaus’ hand and pushed, you really tried, but the searing pain was too much.

You flopped back down into the pillow. “It hurts so much,” you said through tears. Klaus’ face mirrored your own in sympathy. He held your hand a little tighter and kissed it.

“Y/N, you are the strongest person I’ve ever met. It’s one of the reasons I love you so much. You can do this. I believe in you.” He nuzzled next to your face and kissed your temple. You pushed again.  This time felt different, productive.  The sound you made was primal.  It was followed by gasps from everyone in the room as the baby emerged.  A momentary silence made you hold your breath until you heard a loud cry.  Everyone sighed with relief then cheered. “It’s a boy!” Allison announced, wrapping him in the towel and handing him over to you. You cradled your baby In your arms.  Klaus cradled you both in his.  The newborn could barely open his eyes, but he was beautiful and you loved him with every bit of your heart.

Allison cut and tied the cord and helped you with the afterbirth.  She was not an expert, but she muddled through with your instructions.

“Allison, I don’t know how to thank you for all you’ve done.” 

“We are so grateful,” Klaus added.

“Of course, don’t be ridiculous. From one mom to another, you were a soldier…and with no drugs…you’re a superhero!”  You both laughed at her choice of words.  

“Would you like to take the baby somewhere more comfortable and private?,” she asked.

“Yes, but I don’t think I can walk right now.”

“Luther will carry you.”

Luther perked up. “Um… Sure.” 

Klaus followed close behind, hissing at Luther every few feet with a “careful” and “watch her head” as he lumbered down the hall with you. He brought you to Klaus’ room and laid you down on the bed.  Klaus was beside himself, his emotions alternating between sheer panic, pure bliss, and wistful contemplation when he thought you weren’t looking.  He encouraged you through your attempts to breastfeed and celebrated your victory when you finally got the baby to latch properly.  When the baby was full, Klaus burped him and popped him inside his roomy v-neck t-shirt so they could be skin to skin, like Allison suggested.  He marveled at each little finger and toe.  And he lost it every time his son looked at him and made any sort of expression at all. 

Each of the Hargreeves had their turn visiting the baby, moving in and out of the room, chatting with you and bringing you things. It was really sweet, a very different reception than the last time you visited the mansion.

Diego’s face lit up around the baby.  He shed his vest full of knives in favor of a soft, black turtleneck sweater. He cradled his tiny nephew so tenderly in his arms, vowing to teach him everything he knows.

The baby took one look at Luther and started crying.  Luther awkwardly tried to soothe him, but it was no use.  He handed the baby back to Klaus, looking a little sad.

“Maybe he’s just gassy.  You can try again later,” you offered.

What Five lacked in warmth, he made up for in conversation.  He talked the baby’s ear off as if discussing his theories with another fifty year old man.  You stifled your urge to laugh.

Ben expressed his congratulations through Klaus.  He had been a presence in the room throughout the baby’s birth and he regretted not being able to hold him.    

Allison was checking on you when Vanya suddenly showed up with a pack of diapers and a  leather bound notebook under her arm.

“You came!” Allison looked shocked.

Vanya began to cry. “You were right about Leonard. I didn’t want to believe it, but then I found this.” She handed Allison the book. “It’s Dad’s journal.” Leonard has been lying to me the whole time… I read what Dad wrote about me. I do have powers - dangerous ones. I read how he suppressed them with my medication.“

"Vanya, I -,” Allison started to interject.

“At first I was really mad, but then I kept reading, in detail, about how he manipulated and abused each one of us. My heart is broken, but I don’t want to fight anymore and I’m not going to let Leonard use me the same way Dad did, so I left.”

Allison embraced her sister and smiled through tears of her own. “Come meet your new nephew!”

Vanya congratulated Klaus with a hug and stepped forward to meet you and the newborn. “I’m Vanya. Welcome to the family.”

“I’m Y/N. Klaus has told me a lot about you. He said you play the violin and wrote a book. I’m sorry, but I haven’t read your book yet.”

“You know what…Don’t. Let’s make a fresh start.”

“You and your nephew actually have a lot in common.  His powers are also very dangerous and there are people out there who want to…,” your voice caught in your throat with your emotions.

She gazed knowingly into your eyes.  “Just raise him with love and he’ll be alright.  Plus he’s got five fiercely protective aunties and uncles with super powers to protect him.” She bent down and kissed him softly on his little forehead before handing him back.

“What are you going to name this little jellybean?”

You looked up at Klaus. “This happened so fast we haven’t even had a chance to think about it,” you laughed.

The Umbrella Academy Season 1 Episode 2

We start off on another flashback, of right before Five was lost in time. He asked Reginald one day at dinner why can't he time travel, because he's ready for it. Reginald, however, is quick to dismiss anything that Five has to say, and even points out that time travel could mess up his mind. Five storms out of the house, does a couple of short jumps through the various seasons as he walks away from the house, but the ends up in the future that he described to Vanya in the previous episode... Only to realize that his powers are “stuck” and he can't get home.

Back in the present, Five explains things to Vanya, but she's having trouble wrapping her mind around all of this. As if she didn't grow up around six super-powered adoptive siblings. She eventually tells Five that they'll continue this discussion in the morning, and goes to bed. However, as soon as Five is sure that Vanya's gone to sleep, he sneaks out of her apartment.

We get introduced to some of our bad guys: Hazel and Cha-Cha. They're oddly chill about the fact that they've been sent to kill somebody.

They go to the tow driver from the doughnut shop the day before, and pump him for answers. However, the poor driver has honestly no idea what they're talking about. Hazel holds up a photo of the guy that they're supposed to kill, who matches the same general description of the tow driver, and determines that it's not the same person. They ask if there wasn't somebody in the doughnut shop with him, and he agrees some “weird boy”, who asked for directions to a department store.

While that's going on, the police arrived at the doughnut shop the night of the incident. After hearing the statement from the waitress (who hid in the back and didn't really see anything; she also thought that Five was the tow driver's son, and that he had left when she saw the tow truck driving away), the officer learns that there's been somebody sneaking around her crime scene. Surprise!  (NOT!) It's Diego. Also not surprising, but she and Diego used to be in a romantic relationship. He tries to tell her what happened, but she just puts him into the back of a police car.

Later at the police station, one of the other detectives tells her that most of the guys at the crime scene shot themselves, which both we the viewer knew from having seen the fight, but also the police figured out just looking at the bodies. They're also not overly surprised that all of the bodies had criminal records. What is surprising is one of the knives found in the eye-socket of a dead guy, which has prints that don't belong to the dead guys, but also matches the prints from a cold case from the 1930's. The detective obviously thinks that this is a technical error and asks that it be checked again.

Then, Diego is brought over to her desk, where she asks that he be uncuffed. Diego tries to tell her how she should be investigating the scene, but she continues to brush him off. He eventually tries to get her to become a vigilante with him, but she continues to brush him off. She tells him that there is law and order for a reason, and this is how actual criminals get put away. Not by going out there and punching people and just taking care of business on his own. She then tells him scathingly to grow up, and stop pretending like you're still at your little academy. MIC DROP.

Klaus, meanwhile, is still... a drug addict. And he's still seeing Ben's spirit. He's also wearing a rainbow leopard print speedo-underwear and ONLY that, and I'm not going to provide pictures, but let's just say that I'm uncomfortable, and you should be too. Pogo comes and asks about a box that we saw Klaus stealing from Reginald's office the day before. What we didn't see then but see via short flashback now is Klaus dumping Reginald's journal and a bunch of papers into a dumpster before he sold the box to a pawn shop, and used the money to buy more drugs. Pogo encourages Klaus to return the contents of the box to the office... knowing full well that Klaus is a drug addict, but he just wants the papers and stuff back.

Five goes to this prosthetic limb manufacturing building, where he tries to find the owner of a prosthetic eye that he has. The guy gives him the run around, claiming patient confidentially.

Later, Five gets Klaus to pretend to be his father, and they go back to the facility. Once again, the man gives both of them the run-around, but then Klaus pulls out something so stupid, it could only have been thought of by a drug addict. First, he punches Five in the mouth, and then he smashes a snowglobe over his own head. The terrified doctor tries to call security, but Klaus wrestles the receiver from the man and screams that he's being attacked. Klaus then says a lot of stuff about how well that the man would do in prison. The man goes to look up the file, only to realize that the prosthetic eye that Five has hasn't even been MADE yes. Klaus doesn't think too much of this just yet, but this is relevant to the end of the world that Five saw. (Five also refuses to pay Klaus the $20 he promised him for doing this, and jumps into a moving taxi to get away from him.)

Later that night, Five goes to the department store, where he starts talking to a mannequin. It's been mentioned that he wasn't “alone” in the future; that he had “Deloris” and that they were together for thirty years. Do you want to guess who Deloris actually is? It's the freaking mannequin; how insanely sad.

Hazel and Cha-Cha show up, don creepy masks, and start trying to murder Five. They shoot up Deloris a lot... it's the saddest death, let me tell you. Five seems to know who these guys are, and he runs around, but isn't able to take them out. He flees with Deloris' torso when the police show up, and Hazel and Cha-Cha leave.

There's a random bit about a new violin student of Vanya's who's a man around her age. They awkwardly flirt, but she turns him down to visit his wood workshop later. I'm not sure if this is going to turn into anything, but I just though that I'd mention this.

Allison, meanwhile, is going through what seems like an insanely nasty custody battle over her daughter, Claire, with her ex-husband. Vanya overheard Allison talking on the phone with her ex, and tried to offer advice, but Allison snapped at her, saying that Vanya could never understand what it's like because she's never loved anybody in a way that makes you want to jump in front of a bullet for them.

But, this only just cause Allison even more stress, because she didn't mean to hurt her sister like that. Pogo finds her stress-smoking in the attic, and shows her old security footage from years ago to cheer her up. Pogo says that Reginald stopped recording them years ago, but Allison is happy to see the footage anyway. She sees all of the others with at least one other kid, except for Vanya, who's practicing her violin in the living room. She gets upset over this, and wants to know why they excluded Vanya from things, and says that she'd be upset if anybody excluded Claire. Pogo tells her that she can watch some of the other videos if she wants, and leaves. Allison then pulls a random tape off from the top of the security camera console. We don't see what it is that she sees, but she goes “Oh god”.

She storms from the room, and runs into Luther. He's been sulking around this episode, but it was mainly trying to find out about Reginald's death, but later determined that Diego couldn't have done it, because he was in some sort of staged fight the day it happened. He apologizes to Allison, but she says she has something important to show him. As they go back to the security footage room, they run into Five, who's all in disarray from his latest fight, and carrying Deloris. Five is angry and dismissive about the entire thing.

A quick “flashback” to when Five first jumped to the dystopian future. He found Luther clutching the eye, and he was buried under a bunch of rubble from the collapsed house. He found Allison and Diego not too far away, and also Klaus further away. All of them were half-buried under rubble, clearly dead.

Lastly, the officer goes to the tow shop, where she finds the poor tow driver with car battery clamps on his nipples and earlobes, hung from the ceiling via chains, just like how Hazel and Cha-Cha had left him.
