This chapter will have some small mother son bonding between Five and Grace and some sibling bonding between Vanya and Diego. I just always felt that we were kinda robbed of that in the show. So enjoy hope you guys like.

Vanya ran into the academy a few minutes later and into the living room where the rest of her family sat talking. Vanya quickly checked little Ben and Rosie for any injuries before turning to her startled sibling.

"You have to go to Griddy's now! He's in trouble!" She all but shouted in a panic.

"Vanya, I need you to breath and calmly tell me what's going on." Diego said trying to calm his frantic sister.

"We were at Griddy's when a group of men came in and pointed guns at us. Five managed to convince them to let me and the kids go. He told me to take Ben and Rosie and run back here but he's still there! You have to go! Now!" She was shouting again as she felt her children press themselves into her sides.

"Stay with Vanya and the kids. Keep them safe." Luther said to Klaus and Allison as he and Diego ran to the door.

Before they could leave they saw a blue light and Five fell to the floor with a long deep bleeding cut on his forearm. Quickly Diego called for their mother and Luther picked Five up taking him to the infirmary. "Go Klaus, Ben and I will stay with Benny and Rosie." Allison said seeing the panicked look on her sister's face. She nodded before running after her brothers and boyfriend.

When she arrived at the infirmary she saw Five on the hospital bed being looked over by their mother. "Oh my god. Five what," before she could finish her sentence she started hyperventilating.

"Get her out of here!" Five shouted whishing he could go and hold her. "She's having a panic attack!"

Diego quickly grabbed his sister by the arm and pulled her out of the room.

"It looks like he is mostly okay." Grace said not looking up. "Just the cut. It's pretty deep. Going to need stitches."

"I'll go tell the others." Luther said.

"Make sure Benny and Rosie don't hear the part about the stitches. It'll only scare them." His brother nodded before leaving the room.

Diego pulled Vanya into his childhood bedroom fearing the tiny space her room was would only worsen her attack. He sat her on his bed facing her. "Okay Vanya listen to my voice. I need you to close your eyes. Can you do that for me?" Vanya nodded. "Okay good. Now picture your favorite color." Vanya nodded again. "Slowly take deep breaths. Imagine you are breathing that color in and out. Good." After a few minutes Vanya's breathing returned to normal. "Feeling better?" He asked. She nodded wiping tears away. "Good. I'm glad."

They sat in awkward silence for what felt like eternity when Vanya finally spoke up. "Diego." He looked to see tears welling in her eyes again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." She said her voice cracking.

He didn't have to ask what she was referring to. He knew all too well what she was talking about. "Y-you told the w-world our family secrets. Y-you told t-them about my-my st-stu-stutter." He said stuttering again like when they were children. Vanya's heart broke. When they became teenager's the only time he stuttered was when he was either extremely angry or extremely hurt. She didn't know which it was this time but she knew it didn't matter because she did this to him.

"I'm so sorry. I was just so angry. It was shortly after I found out I was pregnant. If dad had listened Five instead of just dismissing him like he did our whole childhood, Five would have been there when I found out and he would have been there when the twins were born. Then I thought of what would happen if the twins were born with powers and dad found out. The horrors he would put them through without me having powers to stop it. The world needed to know what he did to us. What he did to you." She said the tears spilling out as she remembered the beatings her brother would get whenever he stuttered in front of their father. While she was mentally abused more, Diego had been the most physically abused one.

Vanya closed her eyes as the tears fell. Diego looked at the woman he saw as his baby sister despite being the same age. He pulled the small woman into his lap and pulled her as close to his chest as he could. "Maybe the reason we were all so an-angry was because you had the co-courage to do what we didn't." He said slowly trying not to stutter. "I am so proud of you for that and for getting out of this shitwhole when you did." He gently kissed the top of her head.

She wrapped her arms around her brother for the first time since they were children. They stayed in that position until she fell asleep. As he laid her down in the bed Allison walked into the room with his niece and nephew in tow. "Is mommy okay?" Rosie asked.

"Yeah she is. She's just a little tired." He whispered. He smiled as he saw them crawl into the bed next to their mother and Vanya, even in sleep, instinctively wrapped her arms around her children. "Come on." He told Allison. "Let's let them sleep."

"Are you two good?" She asked noticing the smile on his face.

"Yeah we are."

Five and Grace sat in comfortable silence as she cleaned his wound. "Thank you." He said as she gathered materials to stitch up him up."Of course silly. I'm your mother. It's my job." She smiled up at him.

"I'm grateful for everything you've done for my siblings and Vanya growing up. And Vanya told me about how much you helped her when the twins were born and I don't think I will ever thank you enough for that."

"I don't do it for the praise." She smiled. "I do it because I love all my children very much. I just wish I had more time with you when you were growing up." She said sadly which was odd of an AI.

"I'm here now." He smiled. "Maybe we can makeup for lost time."

"I'd like that." She smiled.

"I'm curious." He said after a few minutes of silence. "If I had let you name me, what would you have chosen?"

"Aiden." She smiled.

"I like Aiden."

After Grace finished stitching up the cut and she walked off to start dinner, he walked into Diego's room to find his girlfriend and children asleep on his brother's childhood bed. He quietly took his shoes off and slid into bed behind Vanya.

She turned her head when she felt the bed dip. "You're okay." She smiled.

"I'm okay." He smiled back. "We're okay." He said wrapping his arms as far around his family as he could. "I found out what mom would have named me if I had let her when we were children."

"What was it?" She asked curiously.

"Aiden."

"I like Aiden." She smiled.

"I like it too." He said with a small laugh. "Maybe I should go by Aiden from now on."

"You should."

"We'll tell the others in the Moring." He said closing his eyes. "I love you. Goodnight Vanya."

"I love you too. Goodnight Aiden."
