If your wondering why the kid's don't have to go to school, this fanfiction is set during the summertime so there's no school for any of the kids. Also Numbah 2, 3, 4, 5 and Numbah 86 know that Father is Numbah 1's uncle but the rest of the K.N.D and all the evil adults don't know*
It was a normal Friday evening at the Uno household, Nigel "Numbah 1" Uno, was getting ready for bed, his parents were watching TV and chit-chating in the living room, snuggled up to each other cutely.
"I'm going to bed, night mom and dad..." Numbah 1 called out to his parents, "Goodnight Nigel!" Monty replied, "Goodnight, sweetheart!" "Sleep well!" Mrs. Uno chimed in, Numbah 1 went upstairs to his room and collapsed into bed, he was tired but he couldn't wait for the weekend, he was going to do so much fun stuff this weekend, he was sure of it. Numbah 1 fell asleep, dreaming of adventure, having no idea of what was to come.
Numbah 1 was woken up by the sound of knocking on the front door, the bald child sat up and took a look at his bedside alarm clock, "6:57 am" the digital dial read. Who the heck was awake this early on a Saturday morning?! Numbah 1 groggily rolled out of bed and made his way downstairs, surprisingly their was no sign that anyone else was awake, no sound of the morning radio, no TV, it was all just...silent. Numbah 1 had a werid feeling, a premonition of things to come. Numbah 1 opened the front door, he expected to see his mom or dad standing there, maybe having locked themselves out of the house, instead he was greeted with a police officer. Numbah 1 stumbled back slightly in surprise, why was a cop here?! "Hello young man." "You are Nigel Uno, correct?" The police officer asked, "Yes sir, that's me." "What's going on?" Numbah 1 asked.
"Your...your parents have been in an accident and have been taken to hospital." "Do you have an adult you can call to take you to the hospital?" "Grandparents?" "An uncle or aunt perhaps?" The police officer explained, purposely trying to talk in a way that would upset the child as little as possible. Numbah 1 felt his blood run cold, his mouth suddenly going dry. An accident? His parents? Oh no...Numbah 1 had a twisted, awful feeling in the pit of his stomach, a feeling of overwhelming dread and fear of the unknown.
"My...both my grandparents are in retirement homes, but my uncle might be awake, do you want his phone number?" Numbah 1 explained nervously, "Yes, that would help a lot." The police officer said. Numbah 1 went inside the house and got his uncle's phone number, it was scribbled on a sticky note on the fridge, next to a few other phone numbers. Numbah 1 got his uncle's phone number and gave it to the policeman, the cop dialed the number, it rang for a few seconds before a groggy and clearly annoyed voice picked up on the other end. Numbah 1 wasn't even paying attention to their conversation, he was lost in thought. Were his parents okay? What would happen to them? What would happen to him? Who would take care of him while his parents were out of the picture?
Father POV:
Father, or Benedict Uno, was woken up at about 6 in the morning by his phone ringing, it was his brother's phone number, it was too early for him to be that angry yet, so he wasn't in his shadowy "Father Form". He answered the phone, ready to ask his older brother what he was doing up so early but instead of his brother's voice, a cop answered the phone.
The cop told Benedict that his older brother and his sister-in-law had been in a horrible car accident, and had been transported to hospital. Furthermore, the cop told Benedict that his 10 year old nephew, Nigel Uno was alive and okay, and that someone needed to come pick up the child and take him to the hospital so he could see his parents. Benedict told the cop that he could be there in 20 minutes, then the cop hung up. Benedict quickly woke up his 5 children, The Delightful's and got them ready he, got ready himself before pilling all of them into the car, ignoring all forms of traffic laws and the possibility of a speeding ticket as he drove to his brother's house.
The Delightful's were confused and a little bit scared, after all their father seemed pretty stressed and scared himself, so Father gave them a quick version of what he had been told over the phone. The Delightful's were definitely worried now, worried for their adopted aunt and uncle, and for their adoptive cousin as well.
Numbah 1 POV:
Nigel was snapped out of his thoughts by a car pulling up into the driveway, it was his uncle's car. Benedict practically threw himself out of the car, making his way over to the cop, after a quick conversation Benedict walked over to Numbah 1, getting down on the kid's level. Benedict was actually somewhat calm, his tone of voice gentle, although you could tell he was stressed under the surface. "Hey kid." "Look...I'm gonna take you to the hospital so you can see your parents, then we'll come back here and get some stuff, then I'm taking you back to my house." "Okay?" Benedict explained, Numbah 1 didn't even have the strength to respond, instead he just nodded, wiping away the tears pooling in his eyes. Benedict walked Numbah 1 over to the car and helped Numbah 1 into the car, and then drove straight to the hospital, with Numbah 1 quietly bawling his eye's out the whole way there.
The Delightful's tried their best to comfort him, one of the Delightful's, the one with the football helmet named Lenny, tried to offer up his teddy bear to Numbah 1 to help him feel better, but the bald child didn't want the teddy bear, he was just so overwhelmed with worry, he just...he just wanted to see his parents.
