Hey guys. So I really liked the relationship Diego and Eudora had and I wanted to include it but in a none romantic way.

Also this is a Diego Vanya centric story it will the very little of the grown up Umbrella Academy until a few chapters in.

After Eudora left for the night, Diego positioned himself so that he was laying on the bed with Vanya laying on his chest. Tears still quietly falling. "You will get threw this." He said placing a kiss on the top of her head. "I will be with you every step of the way."

"I'm scared Di." She whispered.

"I know, baby." He said smiling sadly at the childhood nickname. "I know but you are going to just fine."

"I'm sorry." She whispered

"For what?" He asked puzzled. What on earth could she possibly be blaming herself in this moment.

"For the book. I'm sorry. Please don't leave me again. I don't want to spend my last year with you angry at me." She was fully sobbing now.

"Hey don't worry about that now. The book is the furthest thing from my mind." He told her wiping away her tears. "I'm not going anywhere, you hear me? I am done trying to be away from you. I want to be by your side for the rest of our lives may that be one year or one hundred. I am not going anywhere."

"Promise?" She sniffled.

"I promise. And this isn't your last year. You are going to survive this with me at your side. And if I know Eudora as well as I think I do she isn't leaving your side during this whole process either." He smiled down at her.

"So Eudora." Vanya said after a few minutes of silence. "There really isn't anything going on between you?"

"I am as attracted to her as I am to Allison." He told her. "She is like my sister. I was in a really bad place when I started the academy and she helped me and gave me a place to live. I do not have nor have I ever had any romantic feelings towards Eudora Patch."

"What about anyone else?" She asked trying to sound uninterested.

"Vanya in my twenty-eight years of life I have only ever loved one woman and she is currently laying wrapped in my arms." He told her wondering how she can even think that he has ever loved anyone other than her. "You were, are, and will always be the love of my life Vanya Hargreaves. Even if I am not-" before he could finish he felt a pair of lips crash to his then pull away. "Yours." He finishes in shock.

"I do love you Diego." She smiled softly. "That night we broke up-" this time it was he who kissed her.

"We can talk about that day later. For now I just want to lay here with my sick girlfriend and hold her until she is better."

"Girlfriend." She whispered. "I've missed that." She said before falling asleep.

"Me too." Diego smiled closing his eyes.

That's how Eudora found them in the morning when she arrived with their requested items. "Diego." She whispered gently shaking him awake.

"Go away." He groaned.

"Shhh you'll wake Vanya." She hissed. He looked down at the girl in his arms realizing that the night before hadn't been a dream like he originally thought.

"Too late." A small voice yawned.

"Sorry." Diego chuckled as they both sat up. She responded with a smile then turned to look at Eudor and the bundle she saw in her arms. "You found my quilt." She smiled.

"Yup and the shirt which looks oddly like every shirt Deigo owns." She said handing them both to her.

"That's because it is. She took it when we were sixteen and never gave it back." He said then turned to Vanya. "You still have that?" He asked in shock.

She nodded as she brought it up to her nose to inhale a scent that had long since faded. All that was left was memories. "These two were the only things I've has to remind me of us for a long time. Other then this of course." She said opening her hand to show the scar on her palm.

"How did that happen?" Eudora asked getting a closer look.

"I was practicing my accuracy and this dumby walked in front of a knife. I didn't have time to curve it away and she caught it by wrapping her hand around it." He said with a small laugh.

Vanya's face suddenly changed. "Dr. Torres." She greeted solemnly.

"Good morning Vanya, Diego, and i'm sorry I didn't get your name."

"Eudora." She said.

"Eudora." She repeated before turning back to Vanya. "So yesterday you decided that you wanted to go ahead with the treatment." Vanya nodded. "I believe that the best course of action would be a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. I'm not going to lie, Vanya. It is going to be very hard on you both mentally and physically. You are going to need a strong supporter system."

"I have one." She smiled as Diego grabbed her hand and Eudora walked up behind him.

"Good." Dr. Torres smiles.

"When can I go home?" Vanya asked.

"We can start your first round of treatment later today and have you home by tomorrow." Vanya nodded.

"And when can I have something to eat?" She asked.

"I can have something sent up now if you'd like?"

"Oh i've got that covered." Eudora smiled pulling a white cup out of the paper bag she had. "Vegetable soup. I know its your favorite."

"I never thought I'd be happy to go back to my crappy apartment." Vanya said after the doctor had left the room.

"Speaking of your apartment." Eudora said. "You won't be going there when you get out."

"What why?" Vanya asked shocked.

"Vanya, your whole apartment is smaller than our dinner and kitchen alone. And the heat is broken and there are no locks on the windows or door. Vanya, that is no place for you to recover in. From the moment you leave this place to when you recover, you will be living with us. You can stay in my room and I'll stay on the couch. Or," she said with a smirk, "you two could share Diego's room."

Vanya blushed as she turned to her soup. "Thanks for the soup." She smiled at Eudora.

"No problem. I thought you might be hungry." She smiled back. "And hospital food sucks."

"How did you know that was her favorite?" Diego asked. "I never told you that."

"Ben told her." Vanya said before Eudora could. "She was his mystery girl."

"How did you know that." Diego said in shock. They had all known about Ben's mystery girl but nobody had known her name. Or so they thought.

"Ben told me." She said with a small smile. "I was the only one that knew her name. I didn't put it together last night but last night I dreamt of Ben. He told me that he was watching over me and that he knew that his girl would be there for me the whole time."

Eudora had tears in her eyes. Of course she dreamt of Ben every night but it felt like a relief so have someone else to talk about Ben too. "How come you never told me that you were my dead brother's mystery girlfriend?"

"When I first met you, I didn't know who you were and then when I did find out you were Ben's brother, I knew you didn't know who i was because you never mentioned it so I decided to keep it to myself. Keep Ben as my own secret but over time all i wanted to do was have someone to talk to about Ben but i never had the courage to bring up the topic." She said.

"Well now you have us." Vanya smiled.

"Yeah I do."

Unbeknown to them Ben was standing right beside Eudora watching the exchange. "I always knew you two would be great friends." He smiled.
