"William! Why does Mabel have a pig?!" Was the scream Seb heard the moment he picked up his phone to answer to his dear baby brother.

"Geez! A 'Seb! My dear big brother whom I love and cherish! Thanks for taking care of my charges' would have been better!"

"I was PLANNING to thank you!" The 28 year old brunet grumbled. "When I saw this naked jerk come out of the bus with the twins! Mabel said you convinced the driver to come with them! He's been rubbing his muzzle against my leg since he came out!"

Seb looked at the Stans, who were covering their mouths to contain their laughter, and he cooed mockingly. "That's how Waddles shows he likes you~"

Abigail was heard moaning as Mabel's unmistakable loud voice explained why Waddles was now part of the Pines family and they had to go shopping for a cute bed, a cute collar, and a cute leash. She forgot Waddles' plate so one was needed as well.

"Seb, what have you doneee?" Shermie sobbed as Dipper started talking at the same time in his adorable and funny high pitched voice. "DAD! You won't BELIEVE what happened this summer!"

"-UNCLE SEB DIDN'T SAVE WADDLES FROM A DINOSAUR FOR NOTHING!" "-JOURNAL IN THE FOREST!" "-MY BABY!" "-TIBEAR LIKED ABBA!" "-RRIED TO GOMPERS!" "-NOMES! THEY PUKE RAINBOWS!"

The twins weren't planning to tell their parents after their uncles, that was a surprise~ But they could still tell them of their adventures.

Abigail frowned, confused. What were the kids EVEN talking about? Was it a game?! What was a multibear?!

Waddles started pulling on Shermie's pants and chewing, making the young man groan.

Mabel and Dipper were still talking loudly and drawing the attention of the people at the station. Shermie sighed, picked up the twins and threw them over his shoulders like sack of potatoes. "Well...Thank you, Sebastian..." The youngest Pines brothers grumbled. After Seb's cheerful "Bye~" He hung up, and started limping towards the car, dragging a pig by his pants.

Seb turned to look at his brothers and grinned. "Shermie is SO grateful I did an excellent job taking care of his babies~"

Stan laughed. "Well, now that the kids are back with Sherman, what's the plan to scare him?"

Seb rubbed his palms together and laughed evily. "Ok, I vote you appear dressed up as ghosts, covered in blood, and-"

"I'm not dressing as a ghost to scare Sherman." Ford said, like a boring owl, and Seb scowled. "You're no fun."

Stanford rolled his eyes and started pacing. "Speaking of deciding what to do...What's going to be our cover story?" He looked at his triplets. "Stanley and I have been missing for 13 years and I'm supposedly 'dead'."

"Oh, don't worry so much, dear."

The triplets screamed and Seb jumped into Stan's arms. They turned around and saw Abuelita in her couch, smiling kindly at them.

"How long have you been there?" Ford asked.

Stan dropped Seb who laughed softly when his stomach protested. He moaned softly. Ok, stomach stitches didn't like that, got it. He crawled towards the old woman and sighed dramatically. "Abuelita, help us! Do your novelas have anything useful we can use?" He leaned against her couch, from where the little old woman started petting his curly, disheveled hair.

"Well…there was this one novela where the main character disappeared, but everyone made it look like he died…"

Seb hummed before smiling. "Yeah, that could work!" He turned to look at his brothers. "I made everyone believe Ford was dead, the bad guys could have done the same! And they didn't expect Stan, but he had seen too much, so they took him as well!" He smiled widely.

"I'm worry you even managed to pull something like that off." Ford frowned, but Seb waved a hand, dismissing it. "Eh, I have my contacts…and we have the same blood."

Stanford stopped thinking about it, it made a really disturbing mental image for him.

"Ok! So we must Glasses and tell him to call a huge press conference where…" Seb trailed off when he thought of something. "Wait. If you two have the press conference first, you won't have a special moment with Dillon."

"Oh…" Stan paused and nodded. He was right. He wanted the moment he would meet his son to be special and intimate and private, he had enough with the news following him around when he was younger and something told him it will be the same after the press conference.

"Ok, new plan!" Seb started listing the things they had to do. "First you meet Dillon! Then we call for the press conference to resurrect you and get you back on the game! You announce your cool research center and become famous again and-and then I meet with Wanda…Deal?" He raised a hand.

The triplets grinned and high sixed.

-.-

Dillon pouted. And pouted hard. His mom laughed loudly as his brown eyes glared at her and his freckled nose wrinkled. "No."
"Well, I have already decided it, you have no say in this." Carla shrugged. Dillon took a deep breath and massaged his temples. "Look, ma, it's not like I don't love missing school, trust me, I do, but the first day IS special and you're making me miss it for nothing."

Carla gasped dramatically, putting a hand over her chest. "Your UNCLE SEB, your own BLOOD AND FAMILY! Is NOTHING?!"

Dillon squeaked when his mom trapped him in a hug and rubbed her cheek against his. The child let out a soft giggle and hugged his mom back.

The...only parent he had...for now!

"He's not nothing..." Dillon corrected himself. "But I wanted to go to Gravity Falls way before today and JUST when school starts, you decide it's a good idea to go?" The child put his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow, amusing his mom to no end.

"I was busy~ And your uncle was too."

"Yeah, with my other, mysterious cousins..." The dark brown-haired boy grumbled. "Next summer, is my turn to stay with Uncle Seb at his house in that town!" Carla gave him a tense smile.

Sure. If only Seb was staying in that house...Stanford was staying, it was HIS house after all, but she didn't trust him enough to take care of her baby.

"I'll see what I can do...Hey, maybe you can even meet your cousins!" Stan had mentioned something like that. About...scaring their youngest brother?

Dillon shrugged a bit. "What's the point of going NOW to Gravity Falls? What are you hiding?" The kid was as perceptive as his dad, maybe even more so. He knew his mom had been super weird since she had that phonecall...Wait.

The child scowled, remembering mom's source of weirdness. "If this is about the bitch you've been talking to! I swear, mom!"

Carla chuckled at him and put a hand on his shoulder which he batted away. "I want you to meet him as well. I'm sure you'll love him, sweetie, you'll get along pretty well."

Dillon gasped, incredibly offended. She didn't even DENY it! When she was obviously CHEATING on dad! "NO! Hell no! He can fuck himself!" Dillon ignored his mom's scold for cursing. "If I see his dumb face in that town, mom, I swear I'll kick his ass and -and live with Uncle Seb forever!"

The curly boy stomped away, leaving Carla snorting and holding back laughter. She would let this tantrum pass, because he had NO idea who was waiting for them...

-.-

Carla was in a really good mood despite her son was being, in every sense of the word, a brat. They said bye to Kari, Dillon clung to his grandma's dress and refused to let go for a while before she managed to get a hold of him, before leaving to the airport. Kari had no idea as well, she just thought they were quick visiting Sebastian.

"Give Sebas a big hug for me." The older woman smiled kindly. "And tell that boy to call~ I know he said he was busy, but we have barely talked this summer." Carla hugged her mother-in law and nodded. "I'll tell that dummy."

Dillon ignored his mom during the entire trip. He had his earbuds on as he played his videogames in peace. Carla kept telling the boy how much they would get along, which only served to enfuriate him more, but he kept quiet. Now that he knew, she was talking openly to HIM, laughing and saying how 'Dillon wants to see you already!'

That was a lie. A big blasphemy. But Dillon will show him how much he hated this 'boyfriend' of hers once he was there. No one will EVER replace HIS DAD! No one! He was coming back! He FELT it! And Mom WILL feel bad for lying to him! And Dillon will gladly say 'I told you so!'

Carla pulled one of his earbuds and he pouted childishly at her. "What?" He couldn't escape, he was trapped between her and an old lady in the plane. His life sucked. "I love you, Dillon...You know that? I love you with all my heart..." The dark-haired woman stroked his chubby cheek.

Dillon cursed his love for cuddles and didn't push her away. "I love you too..." He grumbled. His mom hugged him and pulled him close. Dillon hugged her back, but he wasn't going to like it!

"Ladies and gentleman, please buckle your seatbelts, we are going through some mild turbulence." The flight attendant said emotionless and Dillon returned to his game.

-.-

As soon as Dipper and Mabel returned from their first day, they threw their backpacks away and made a beeline to their room. They needed to know! Their grandma was watching Tv in the living room (as their parents were at work) so they could talk to their uncles with no fear of having their mega plan to scare their dad, ruined.

First part of mega plan was, of course, operation Dillon!

"Call him, Dipper! Call him!" Mabel roared and her twin winced a bit. "Alright, alright..." He put it on hands free and the two leaned eagerly.

"Hey, Shooting Star~" Seb's voice was heard from the other side and the twins smiled. "Oh, it's been so long! I feel like it was just yesterday you were by my side~"

"We literally were just yesterday." Mabel giggled. So silly. "Uncle Seb! We HAVE to know! I couldn't stay in my seat all day thinking in Uncle Stan and our cousin!"

"That's true, she was vibrating with excitement." Dipper said.

"Carla and Dillon aren't here yet. They'll get here in...an hour or so."

"And how will be?! Is the house decorated?! Has Uncle Ford built a machine that decorates the house pressing just one button?!"

Seb laughed. "Sixer is boring, he wouldn't build such a thing." Dipper smiled when he heard a faint but firm "Hey!"

"Give the phone to Uncle Stan! I HAVE to talk to him." Mabel ordered her youngest uncle. There was some shuffling and their uncle's gruff voice replied. "Hey, kiddos!"

"Tell me you have everything planned to meet with Dillon!"

"Well, I am wearing my pants, aren't I?" Stan joked nervously.

"Don't worry, Shooting Star, he's all suited up and hair combed." Seb clarified. Stan was trying to be chill, but even FORD, the blind owl, could tell he was freaking out. He wanted to give a good impression to the kid after all.

Mabel hummed in approval. "And what else? You have to make this special! You MUST impress him!" She gasped. "How about you jump from the cliff! And with a jetpack you fly over the lake tossing balloons for him and a huge sign that reads 'I'm your dad!" and 'Mabel planned this!'"

"Sure, Mabel, why isn't the lake full of cobras as well?" Dipper raised a sarcastic eyebrow. He sighed when Mabel screamed. "Oh that's a great idea, Dipstick!"

The triplets fell silent for a second on the other side before Ford spoke up softly. "You know, it'd be PRETTY interesting to see Stan perform such an act."

Stan smacked his head and groaned ad he rubbed his palm. "Metal plate...right." Ford grinned smugly at him.

"Don't worry, Shooting Star, Pinetree." Seb giggled at the two. "We'll make sure everything is special for Dillon, ok?"

"I trust you on that, Uncle Seb~" Mabel pointed threateningly at the phone, even when her uncles couldn't see her.

"Kids! Come down here for lunch!" Grandma called and the twins looked in direction of the door before sighing.

"We gotta go now! GOOD LUCK UNCLE STAN!" Mabel squealed. "Waddles says good luck too!" She picked up her pig, who was STILL sniffling everything after a day (this wasn't his house! Everything smelled so different!), and squeezed him to make him oink at the phone.

"Give me Dillon's number then! I want to talk to him forever from now on!"

"Oh no, the poor boy..." Seb mumbled. The triplets said bye and hung up, but not before smiling warmly when Dipper spoke wise words "You'll do great Uncle Stan, just be yourself. That's the dad Dillon will see everyday."

Ford smiled at his brothers when both teared up. "Technical teenage hood has done Dipper good..." He commented as his blond brother dramatically sniffled
"He's so wise~"

"And he is right." Ford put his hands behind his back. He was just bothering Stan before. "Dillon will like you just how you are, no need for any extravagant..." He trailed off when he saw Stanley writing something down on a paper. "...jumping...with...a jetpack..."

Ford sighed.

-.-

Dillon stared out of the window of the bus sleepily as his mom busily talked with her work partners. He had fallen asleep for a bit, exhausted from his flight. He wanted to see Uncle Seb already, give him his present, get a present from HIM for his birthday he didn't come to, and LEAVE.

He didn't want to meet mom's boyfriend. He didn't want to talk to him. He wanted to hurt him for daring to approach his mom when she was OBVIOUSLY with Dad.

He didn't care what the bullies said. His dad WAS coming back...he...he had to. Because Dillon didn't know what he'll do if the great man mom, granny Kari and uncle Seb talked about...never appeared...

"Mommy?" Dillon spoke softly as the bus passed a sign which read 'Welcome to Gravity Falls' that was... bitten?

"Yes, sweetie?" Carla covered her phone. The dark-haired boy sighed. "If...If Dad is...not coming back...for some reason...I still don't want you to date anyone..." The boy pouted, holding back tears, and leaned against his mom.
Carla hung up her call and gently stroked his cheek. The idea of her dating was hurting her son more than she ever thought. "No one is going to replace your dad, Dillon Pines." She smiled and kissed his freckled nose. Even IF she had dated someone, he would never have been Dillon's father and she wouldn't ask for it.

"But you are dating this bitch..." Dillon mumbled upset, making Carla snort. "I promise this will be different."

Dillon narrowed his eyes, suspicious. He didn't have more time to question his mom's words though because the bus arrived to the Mystery Shack. Usually, the bus didn't come here, but now that the Pines were heroes of town, they could make an exception for another little Pines.

Dillon thanked the driver and jumped out of the bus. "UNCLE SEB!" He screamed as loud as he could, not caring if he was with a tour group. "Your FAVORITE nephew is here!"

Stan panicked when he heard a childish voice screaming outside. Fuck this! He wasn't ready! "I can't!" He tried hiding behind the couch but Seb picked him up with his mind and slapped him.

"FEZ. FEZ. CALM. DOWN!" Seb said seriously, shaking him by his shoulders. "You CAN do this because you are Stanley freaking Pines. You survived in space and you build a Quantum Destabilizer by yourself. Stop being so fucking pathetic!"

Ford gently put a hand on Seb's shoulder to stop him from shaking Stan any more. "I'm sure he understood." The blond grumbled and let go. "I'll go talk to them, ok? Then we'll start with the introductions." Seb took a deep breath and smiled, calmer this time. "Everything will be fine, Fez, promise." Seb said. He would be just as nervous or worse if he was meeting his kid.

Maybe he would panic when he saw Wanda again, but his brothers wouldn't be there to shout at him if that was the case, heh.

Ford watched Stan take deep breaths as Seb ran outside to meet their oldest nephew. He didn't have to imagine how he looked like, Stan had showed Seb all the photos he had of Dillon to help him remember about him and he had seen them as well. He was a cute kid, he looked like Carla, and nothing like his twin niblings.

"DILLON!" Seb roared and he knelt on the grass as his nephew ran over to him. The blond almost fell backwards and laughed loudly as Dillon hugged him tightly, almost choking him.

"Uncle Seb! I missed you!" The boy wrapped an arm around his neck and gave his uncle a noggie. Seb cried and returned the favor with a grin.

"I can't believe you never had ME here for the summer!" Dillon pouted. He was still upset. Uncle Seb was his uncle and they were closer than his other cousins. They didn't even know him before this! "So unfair!"

He wasn't wrong, but he also wasn't right. Seb technically knew the twins before him.

"What?! With overprotective mom over there calling every 5 seconds?! She would stay here as well and ruin the fun!" Seb grinned teasingly at Carla, who scoffed and crossed her arms. Not true! She was just worried for her baby!

"Well, if you want, we can try to stay in town next year and do all I did with Mabel and Dipper. What would you like? Fighting ghosts with songs or fighting zombies with songs?"

"...What?" Carla grimaced.

Dillon just laughed. Crazy uncle Seb. "I bought you another tie for your birthday!" Dillon said. "And a t-shirt from Disney and a cute earring I saw in the store! Mom said I could get an earring too when I'm older!"

"Mom never agreed to that." Carla remembered him.

Dillon stood up and put his hands on his hips. "So, where is MY present? It better be amazing for everything I've got you."

"Geez, materialist much? Don't worry, this present is the best one yet. I've been working on it for years!" Seb stood up, picking him up to carry him inside.

"Oof! You need to stop eating those toffee peanuts,kid! You're getting heavy!" Seb laughed. Dillon stuck his tongue out. "Or you're getting old-Aahh!" Seb used his powers to throw him over his shoulder.

"I ain't old, you brat!" Carla picked up their backpacks and followed them inside, biting her lip. She's been keeping her cool all the flight here, but she couldn't take it anymore.

Stan was inside. She was seeing Stanny today after 13 years...

Dillon hit his uncle's back, laughing, unaware of his plan. They walked threw the Gift Shop and Dillon smiled at the man inside. "Hi. Mr. Soos!" Dillon knew Soos, he saw him everytime mom and him visited Seb.

"Hey, little dude!" Soos waved, almost throwing a jar to the floor because of the eyepatch covering his left eye. Seb rolled his eye. NEWBIE. Eyepatches were the best. He was now wearing an eye lense just not to ruin his look with dumb glasses.

Seb had no idea why his sight went from 30/20 to POOP so suddenly. Maybe it had been his magic keeping him seeing correctly? But he still had magic, he still had an 'internal' all seeing eye to See, but apparently not enough to have a perfect sight?

The Axolotl's powers were so confusing.

"Uncle Seb." The child being carried like a sack of potatoes said. "Do...do you know my mom's bitch?" He said it so casually Seb burst out laughing.

"No, I definitely don't know who is that!" Seb stopped at the 'Employees Only' door. "Flower, you can go inside if you want, Dillon and I will talk about stuff." Seb looked at her sister-in law.

Carla nodded and took a deep breath before walking inside the house. When she was gone, Seb put Dillon on the floor. "Kiddo, what do you mean?"

Dillon put his hand in his pockets and shrugged. "Mom said we're going to meet the man she's been talking to, she says I'm going to like him but I hate him already."

Seb blinked, really confused, before his mouth formed a small 'o'. "Oohh~" Ok, he understood now. He grinned like a little shit. "Well, yes, now that you mention it, I do known that bitch man."

Dillon scowled. "I don't want to meet him, please. Mom doesn't understand Dad would be really upset." The child sniffled. "Tell that fucker to leave my mom alone!"

Seb felt the need to laugh and cry at the same time. His nephew was so loyal to the memory of his dad and he was so proud of him. But at the same time he was so loyal that he was insulting said dad!

"Dillon, kid..." Seb giggled softly. "Your mom is a grown up, and she can date whoever she wants, but that doesn't mean she's replacing your dad."

"Yes it is!" Dillon sniffled. "Because that means that she'll marry him! And he'll live at our home! And then I'll have to call him Dad! But I'll never NEVER do that! Because I can't BELIEVE you are allowing mom to date a bastard when YOUR BROTHER is out there! Trying to come back home to us!"

Seb would be crying hard if the situation was any different. He would feel like shit for letting Dillon suffer and he would never let Carla date anyone for real if the Stans hadn't come back. But they had. And his poor nephew had NO idea, which was was cruel. There was no point to keep this from him any longer.

Seb hugged Dillon tightly and kissed his forehead. "How about we discuss this later, huh? You are right, your dad is coming back to you and your mom shouldn't date anyone else."

Dillon nodded grumpily and wiped his nose with his hand. "Yeah..."

"So, how about I show you your present first, and then we talk more about this?" The blond offered and the kid nodded. Seb pushed the door open and Dillon walked inside. Soos gave Seb thumbs up before he quickly trotted over to Dillon.

The two made their way to the living room and they had to stop when they saw Flower sobbing her heart out on a man's shoulder, whose shoulder's were shaking as well. Ford was a few meters away, watching them with a happy smile on his face.

Dillon blinked slowly and gaped at the man with glasses and the trenchcoat. He...looked just like Uncle Seb...

Wait...

Was-was he-?!

He mouthed the word, but he didn't have the courage to say it yet.

Seb fake coughed to call the couple's attention and Flower turned to look at Seb and Dillon, brown eyes full of tears and runny nose, just as another man, bulkier, with long brown hair and a black suit, slowly looked down.

"Dillon, kiddo..." Seb smiled tearfully and knelt next to the frozen boy. "I want to present you to your mom's bitch..my brother, Stanley."

Dillon was speechless. The man with long hair was trembling as Carla, with tears still streaming down her face, hugged Stan's shoulder. "S-Stanny, tha-that's Dillon, Stanny...He's your baby, he's our baby, Stan..."

Stan's legs were shaking like jelly, he felt he would fall in any second.
That boy with curly, dark hair, freckles and brown eyes, he was his son, his baby.

Seb gently stroked Dillon's hair, pulling the petrified boy towards him. "Dillon, that's Stanley Pines, see? He-he's your dad...He-He's finally back..."

Dillon's brain had shut down. He couldn't process the information, he had no idea how. That-that man. He-he was dad?! Was he finally back?! It couldn't be! But he was there, standing next to mom...looking like a little older version of the photos he had at home. He also looked like Uncle Seb, a lot more muscled, just-just like always imagined him...

He absently thought of the third man with glasses. Who was he? Dad had triplets, but Uncle Stanford had died before he was born...unless he didn't. He was here. He must be Uncle Stanford...

Dillon reacted when Seb started pushing him forward, towards Stanley. Stanley Pines. His dad. His dad. His dad that was kidnapped and had gone missing thirteen years ago...

And he was here. He was finally here.

Dillon's mind raced as the tall man with long hair, his dad, covered his mouth and tried to subtly wipe his tears away.

The child was scared. He was terrified of meeting his dad, so he did the only reasonable thing. He burst into tears before wailing, startling the triplets and Carla.

"Dillon? What's wrong? No, no, please don't cry..." Seb grimaced as he stopped pushing him. The crying boy immediately clung to his neck when his uncle crouched in front of him and Seb kissed his head. "Hey...It's ok, kid...It's ok."

No, it wasn't ok. Dillon didn't think everything was ok. His dad was BACK. He was HERE. He wasn't a photo, or a nice story his grandma told him to sleep. He wasn't in Dillon's usual dreams, he wasn't an idea, he wasn't a THOUGHT. He was here. He was looking at him cry with a panicked expression and tears streaming down his face.

Dillon hugged Seb tighter. Uncle Seb was someone he could hug, or talk to. Dad had never been that. Dad was a picture in his mind, a strong mental image where he would appear at his presentations at school, or would drive Dillon to school, or would teach him how to play football or baseball or any sport. Or he would beat up another dad whose kid was bothering him.

That was the image Dillon had about his dad, and it had been and stable image throughout all his life...But his dad was back. ...What was he supposed to do now...? Everything he knew was broken, and he loved his dad, he loved him since he knew he existed, but he was scared of letting go of all his safe images he had about him.

It was easy to treasure a photo and dream of meeting that person. What were you supposed to do when that photo turned real?

What was he supposed to do now that the only thing he had known for years and gave him a safe sense of security and gave him hope, gave him something to be strong for, was GONE?

Carla crouched next to her unsoothable son. Seb was still holding him, whispering soft reassuring words to him while Stan stood there, looking uncomfortable and absolutely clueless as to what to do. Ford, exactly in the same situation, awkwardly rubbed his brother's shoulder.

Dillon wanted his dad, but now that he was facing the situation, he didn't want things to change. He was so confused and troubled and his emotions were a mess and his dad was back, he was actually back! HE COULDN'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT!

Seb wiped his nephew's tears and gently forced him to look up at him. "Dillon...kiddo, it's ok, I promise..." He kissed his forehead and the child immediately buried his face in his shoulder. "Come on, Dillon, your dad wants to meet you, he's been wanting to see you since he came back..."

The blond rubbed his back in circles and Dillon's sobs eventually quieted down, turning into soft hiccups. He was still clinging to Seb's neck, hugging him tightly. Seb turned him around to look at Stan. "Do you want to hug Dad too?"

Dillon buried his face on his shoulder shyly. Seb moved his head a bit and Stan was suddenly forced forward, almost tripping and fell to his knees in front of Seb and the shy kid. Stupid demon powers...

Carla and Ford shared a look as Stan stared at his little son. Ford gave her a small, awkward smile and the curly woman sighed exasperated and pulled the tall man for a hug. She had totally ignored Stanford in favor of hugging and kissing Stanley.

"I'm so glad you are safe too, Ford, even if you are the biggest idiot in the entire world." She whispered. "If I ever learn you are building something as dangerous your portal that separates my family again though, I'll personally throw you inside."

Ford pouted a bit. Ok. He deserved that.

Seb sat Dillon on his knee so the two of them could look at Stan. Dillon blushed darkly and looked down. "Hey, Dillon...Your dad wants to look at you, can you look at him?"

"Di-Dillon..." Stan mouthed softly. He reached to touch his cheek but stopped himself and his trembling hand stayed centimeters away.

Dillon, very slowly, looked up at the man and the two stared at each other, father and son sporting the same wide-eyed expression.

"Well, don't you stand there, Stanley." Ford urged his triplet.

Seb slowly put Dillon on his feet and the boy broke down once again when Stan opened his arms for a hug. "Di-Dillon...Dillon, I-can-can I hug you?" Stan begged with a soft voice.

Dillon looked back at his blond uncle who nodded reassuringly, and he let go of his uncle's hand. He took a few steps closer and Stan couldn't take it anymore. The tuff, muscled guy sobbed loudly and pulled his small, delicate son towards his chest and enveloped him in a tight hug, as if he was trying to compensate all the missed hugs. He wished he could.

Dillon found himself surrounded by the man's warm arms and he started sobbing again. He wrapped his much smaller arms around him and wiped his tears and snotty nose on his shoulder.

Fuck his comfort zone breaking down. Fuck the uncertain future, Dad was back! Dad was back! DAD WAS BACK!

"D-Dad!" The child sobbed. "Dad! Dad! Don't-don't leave again!"

Stan choked down a sob and laughed wetly. "Never, Dillon, I'll never leave you again..." He kissed his forehead and after that, he didn't stop. He started attacking his tear-covered face with kisses as the boy smiled tearfully.

Seb stood up to the side, giving those two their much needed time together and walked over to Carla and Ford. Carla was wiping her tears and trying hard not to cry, but she was crying anyway. Seb rolled his eye and gently steered her towards Stan and Dillon, so she could be part of the family hug as well.

Ford put his hands behind his back and straightened up when his short younger brother skipped towards him and hugged one of his arms. "You should be proud, Sebastian." He told him softly.

Seb had spent 13 years of his life trying to bring them back. He didn't finish school and yet, he taught himself physics and advanced engineering. He rebuilt the portal and got in big trouble for that. He did all of that to bring them back, even when Ford had been so ungrateful and insulted him. He did all of this to save them, and yet, Ford had never said thank you. He didn't do it just for them though, he worked his ass off for his nephew, for Dillon, because he wouldn't allow his nephew to grow up without a father for his stupid mistake.

Ford's mistake. For building the portal, for trusting Bill, for letting him mess with his mind and allow him to use his already bad feelings against him...It was his fault, Bill almost took over the world because of him! His brother almost DIED because of him...

And he still saved them.

"Yeah? Why?" Seb asked confused. Ford put a six-fingered hand on his shoulder and pulled him closer, draping an arm around his shoulders. "Because you are hero, Sebastian. To the world, and to this child."

The blond smiled widely, pointy teeth showing, and he laughed. "It's no big deal, Sixer, calm down. It's family, I'd kill for family...literally."

"I am sure you are capable of such an act." Ford chuckled softly.

The two faced their triplet who was now wiping Dillon's tears away with a thumb and smiling brightly. Having the twins really helped him to make his way around children. "D-Dad..." Dillon said as he stroked Stan's arm. He was a very clingy boy. He had been shy to meet Stan but now he'll probably not let go for a while.

"Y-Yes, Dillon?" Stan choked down a happy sob. Dad...He'll need to get used to that.

"You...You're coming home with us...?" Dillon tilted his head to the side adorably and Stan had to take a deep breath to keep himself from screaming for how adorable his son was.

"Or course, Dillon..." Stan pulled him close for another hug. Carla stroked Dillon's hair. "Of course he is, kid, where would he live then?" She giggled softly and Dillon buried his face into his dad's chest. At least now Dad can stop mom from sassing him from now on.

Stan picked up Dillon, holding him with an arm under his legs and the boy hugged his neck. "Dillon, that's Stanford, our other triplet. I'd forgotten he was here." Stan joked now that he wasn't sobbing his heart out and could think again.

Ford narrowed his eyes at his brother but straightened up when Dillon looked at him. "Um, greetings! I-It's really nice to meet you, Dillon..." He waved awkwardly, and Carla and Seb shared a look.

'Once a nerd, always a nerd~'

Dillon looked at the hand he waved and smiled a bit before sniffling. "Yeah, you are Uncle Ford...six fingers." Ford looked down at his hand and nodded quickly, ignoring how his cheeks were warming up.

"I'm glad you-you aren't dead..." Dillon sniffed and wiped his eyes with his palm. Stan didn't want to let go of him, but he GUESSED he could share his son with Ford for a second so he could say hi, because at the same time, he wanted everyone to see his son.

Stan handed the boy to his older brother and Ford held him just as easily, despite Dillon was a bit taller and heavier than the twins. Dillon hugged his uncle and after freezing for a second, Ford hugged him back. It was a different context from when he met the twins, but holding his oldest nephew felt just as amazing. This was his family, a family he was getting a second chance to see, meet and see it grow (if Stan's REALLY inappropriate comments about what Sebastian and his girlfriend were going to do the moment they were alone was anything to go by)

Ford blushed a bit at the thought. He...didn't need the mental image of Sebastian-oh, nevermind! It was stuck now!

"AAaaaaww!" The blond, unaware of his brother's thoughts, cooed. "Well, this is one thing less to do!" Seb exclaimed happily. Dillon let go and went back to hug his dad.

"Now we need the news to know you two are back and then plan how to scare Shermie for Christmas!"

With an almost identical grin, Dillon and Stan said. ""Let's scare him!"" The boy was upset because he had never seen his youngest uncle. He deserved to be scared!

Ford sighed fondly and rolled his eyes. The similarities were really shocking.

Seb ruffled his nephew's hair and dramatically walked away to call McGucket to tell him they were ready for the press conference in his new home tomorrow. "Enjoy your time with your mom's bitch, kid! Be right back~"

Dillon paled as Carla guffawed and Stan chuckled goodheartedly. He had to admit it was pretty funny.

Mom was...but Dad...oh...Oh. OH.

"Mmmoooommmmmm!" Dillon shrieked. This was her faaullttt!

-.-

Dillon and Stan spent the entire day together in the less dangerous places in Gravity Falls. He held him like Simba everywhere and introduced him like "Behold! My son!" in front of everyone at the Diner. Everyone cheered and clapped, happy for Stan and Susan had cooed and gave them pie, which the two devoured with gusto. They played outside the shack as well with the basketball Dillon brought and by the end of the day, surrounded by empty bags of toffee peanuts, they fell asleep on the couch on the porch, Dillon resting his head on his dad's broad chest and Stan wrapping a muscled arm around him.

Seb had covered them with a blanket and they let them nap until it was dinner. At night, Carla was explicitly kicked out of the room by Dillon and sent to the couch, telling her "I've been too long with you! Shoo! I wanna be with my dad!" and then STAN frowned at her when she scolded him, telling her "Hey! Let him be! We'll sleep together another time!"

She was only going to tolerate this because it's their first night together. Ford nicely offered her his room.

The other two triplets went to the attic, but they didn't really mind. "You know, Sixer, the Shack needs more rooms." Seb told him when he turned off the lights and climbed to bed, hands behind his head and staring at the dark ceiling. "You know…Now that-that our family is together we'll need more space! Imagine all the family meetings! You and Stan, Carla and Dillon! Shermie, Abi and the twins! And Wanda and me! And Mom! And then Soos! And Melody!" Ford watched his brother in the night as he continued explaining what they should do. He'd like to see his whole family too, it sounded stressful, but fun…

"And the Shack would become the meeting point because…?"

"Because Gravity Falls is awesome!" Seb's shrill voice squealed and Ford chuckled. "Alright…I'll see what I can do…" He heard his younger brother yawn. "How are you feeling?" Ford asked him.

Seb shrugged a bit. "Tired, it's been a long day…but I'm happy…for Stan, and Dillon, they've been away from each other for too long because of me…" Ford remained silent. It wasn't his fault. "I can't wait to see Wanda again…I-I just hope that, that it will turn out fine…"

Ford hummed. He didn't know anything about partners or love; that time with the siren didn't count. "Well, I'm sure it will…You've been away from each other for a long time as well." He heard Seb squirm again and curl up, pulling at the covers. "Will you have kids?" The scientist asked bluntly and Seb coughed awkwardly, trying to pull the blankets over his warm face.

"Sixer~" Seb laughed sheepishly. "I-I don't know…I-I don't think I'd be a good 'paternal figure' for anyone…Mabel and Dipper were close to dying so many times this summer…"

"…Stan is a dad…You can't do that bad…" Ford mumbled and Seb laughed softly. He doubted he should…despite how…thrilling such an experience would be. Shermie said being a father felt so weird and nice at the same time…and Stan was planning to protect Dillon with all his might… but he'd probably not do a good job. He was dumb, he might accidentally hurt them and he'd never be able to live knowing he caused them harm…It was probably better not to. He wouldn't want to ruin someone's possible life…

"I…I'll tell you if it happens…You-you need to make more rooms in here…" Seb joked and Ford chuckled softly. "Yes…you're right…" Seb sighed. "Well, Sixer! Tomorrow is an important day! We need to sleep! Good night!"

"Good night…"

-.-

"Glasses, for fuck's sake, stay put or I'll shave your big ass nose!"

"Sebastian, please don't shave his nose."

"I don't trust yer brother with sharp objects near me!"

"Oh come ON!"

"Dude, come on, you're acting like kids! The guys are coming in less than an hour!"

The triplets were all grooming the very awkward and annoyed engineer. Ford took the razor from Seb, because Fidds wouldn't allow them to help if he was all jumpy and shouting, and the blond went to hair duty. He sprayed him with some water and started cutting and brushing his blond hair. Ford cut shaved his friend's beard and smiled relieved when that white beard came off, revealing the face of the friend he hadn't seen in years.

Dillon was sitting on the floor watching as his uncles and HIS DAD (Oh god, he wasn't dreaming, dad was back) groomed the blond man. They were in a huge mansion! It was so cool! The blond man's wife was making them some snacks and their son Tate said he could play with him in his video game console if he wanted, but he didn't know him and he was kinda shy to talk to the teen all by himself.

He glanced at his phone. Uncle Seb had given him the number of his cousin, Mabel, because he said she wanted to talk to him. The freckled boy pouted a bit. Apparently, Ford and Dad had been here for half the summer and no one told him! And worse of all, his cousins had his dad and uncles all for themselves! That wasn't fair.

He sighed and wrote her a message she'll probably read later as they must be in class. -Hi, M Dillon, youre Mabel, uncle Seb told me to write to you :/?

"A-Ah! I'm so nervous!" Fiddleford adjusted his glasses. Stan scoffed. "You're nervous? We're the ones coming back from the death!"

"The sooner you finish this, the sooner we get this over with!" Seb reasoned. Carla put a hand under her chin and shook her head. The media was going to eat them alive from now on.

"Alright, guys, don't forget it. First everyone will be asking about your blueprints and nerd stuff right? Then you mention the Stans and you two tell the story and then you try to distract them with the future research center!" it couldn't be that hard!

The event was, simply, chaotic.

The press conference happened in the manor's big studio at around 3:10 pm. Talking to Fiddleford himself was crazy enough, everyone wanted to ask about his amnesia, his projects, his family and his future plans and ambitions, relation to the government as well. Fiddleford, dressed up in a nice suit with glasses and with his hair combed answered the best way he could before bringing up the Stans case, something along the lines of "Well, I'm planning to do a research center here in Gravity Falls with an old college buddy who is, um, not dead? He's Stanford Pines."

Then the reporters went nuts when the missing football player Stanley Pines who disappeared 13 years ago and Stanford Pines, scientist who was murdered 13 years ago, joined the interview. Photos were quickly taken, cameras zoomed and reporters screamed questions everywhere.

Stan decided to make it as exaggerated as possible, going by the TRAGIC Iron Man-ish backstory, which made Ford groan but he otherwise kept quiet and went along. Dillon giggled from afar and looked at Seb. "Uncle Seb, you should go as well! Give your testimony!"

Seb thought for a bit, before saying "You know what? Yes! I should!" Before Carla could stop him, he joined the conference as well, wailing about how he missed his brothers and he one day this summer he saw them coming out of the woods!

Not only the local news were transmitting the event, led by a very happy Shandra, at some point, Portland's news came as well.

Fiddleford casted a look to Stanford and both scientists sighed as Stan and Seb continued explaining to the reporters what happened and what THEY were planning to do with the research center! "It will be a huge thing! Just next to his house in the forest!" Seb opened his arms to indicate how big it'll be. "And, they'll do all kind of nerd stuff!" "Yeah! To safe humanity and invent all kind of crazy things for the greater good!"

"What are you planning to do after this?!"

Stan smiled. "Well, all I know is that I want to be with my wife and my son." Seb blinked when some reporters asked him as well. "Um…I…-" Stan got him. "He's a bit shy about his life…Oh, I missed him so much!" He hugged Seb and the reporters made soft cooing noises. "He's a GREAT fashion designer! You all would DIE if you saw his dressed and suits! He's going to open his own store!" Seb waved his hands around frantically, but the cameras already captured it. "When do you plan to do this, Mr. Pines?" "Do you plan to sell your designs? Why didn't you do it before?" "Will your brothers' presence chance anything?!" "What are you planning to do now?!"

Dillon looked at his mom with a raised eyebrow. "Mom, if Uncle Seb wants to scare Uncle Sherman with the Stans appearance…how is he supposed not to see the news or newspapers until the time comes?" Carla blinked before sighing and shrugging. "I don't know, sweetie."

He pulled out his phone and saw it had around 20 new messages from Mabel, half of them were hearts and puppies, the other half were "OMG! HIIII!" and "OMGG I KNEW YOU'D WRITE WE GOTTA MEET!"

Dillon chuckled and wrote. "Yeah! We should! Uncle Seb told me about the plan to scare ur dad, but it won't work if he sees the news! You gotta make sure he doesn't see any news!"

Mabel replied instantly. "DW CUZ! We got this! Dad barely sees the news ANYWAY!" She said before a photo popped up. She was taking a selfie (she was hugging a pig?!) with her brother behind her waving with a small smile. Dillon smiled and sent a photo of himself making a dumb face with the interview behind him as background. "They're in the interview right now, it's crazy."

"Now it's Dipper, hi: Did Uncle Seb make a scene already" "Yep :P" Dillon replied and spent the rest of the evening talking to the twins. Hey, maybe meeting Mabel and Dipper didn't sound like a bad idea at all! They were family after all. And they weren't that mysterious anymore. He knew how they looked like.

The conference lasted A LOT, it was almost night when it finished and more reporters had appeared after hearing what was happening in the small town of Gravity Falls. Carla and Fiddleford's wife were forced to call the cops for help and Blubs and Durland forced the reporters to leave already. It was such a commotion that even the townsfolk and the mayor were listening to the conference from the outside. Even Tate came out of his room to see how it was all going, his brown hair covering his eyes.

The triplets said bye to Fiddleford and his family, thanked them for the help and returned to the Shack at night, simply to just pass out on the couch, the floor, and in Dillon's case, a bed, but just because Seb sneakily floated him there. They were going to get used to having people ask them stuff. They guessed their reappearance was more of a news than they thought!

-.-

"We're stupid." Was the first thing Seb said the next morning when he saw his family was having breakfast.

"Don't curse in front of Dillon, damn it." Stan huffed and Dillon giggled softly. He grabbed his dad's hand and continued eating. He LOVED his dad!

"Why are we stupid now?" Carla asked and the blond sighed. "Your house is literally in front of mom's, if it isn't MOM'S as well!" Mom was very stubborn and refused to live with Carla and be an "old burden" as she put it, so she had a nice flat in the nice building in front of Carla's house.

However, she spent a lot of time in their house babysitting Dillon and cooking for them.

"How are we supposed to surprise them if she's going to see you?!" Seb pointed at Stan, who was taking a pancake to his mouth. Stan lowered his pancake and sighed. "We're stupid."

"If you can't surprise them, then don't." Ford said before sipping his coffee. Dillon, Stan and Seb groaned loudly. "But we already said we were going to scare Uncle Sherman!" Dillon whined. "And we promised the twins!"

Ford stood up calmly, turned on the TV, and to proof his point, changed channels only to reveal their faces were everywhere. "Yeah, there's no way they aren't going to see it."

Seb hummed as he stroked his goatee. Think, Pines…Think! There must be a way to scare Shermie before he spoilt himself! He looked at his phone and noticed the last message was from Wanda. He also had to see Wanda tomorrow…His brown eye widened and he grinned mischievously. "Alright guys, you might be stupid, but I have the perfect plan! You'd need to be home tomorrow though, not today…" He looked at Carla and then nodded at Dillon. The curly boy cheered. "Yes! No school!"

-.

It was a complicated plan. Dillon texted his cousins and discovered that, despite how much they wanted to keep their parents away from any source of information until the due date, it was getting more and more complicated as well. "Dillon, Waddles already ate the TV's wires and chewed on Dad and Mom's phones and they're FURIOUS!" Dipper texted him. "We don't want them kicking Waddles out."

"Yeah, we already realized that Granny Kari is going to see Dad when we come back :,(" Dillon texted back. "But don't worry. We've got another plan, Uncle Seb came up with it. Don't worry, you guys just need to go along with it and your dad is going to poop his pants!" Dillon texted them the entire plan and when they finished reading it, the twins grinned mischievously. "Oh! I LOVE THAT!" Mabel texted, decorating her message with hundreds of hearts. It wasn't for Christmas like they originally planned, but this will work too!

-.-

Seb gave Soos a smile making the man-child sniffle before hugging his blond friend tightly. Seb wasn't that blond anymore, the color was being replaced by his natural brownness as the days passed. "Oh, come on, Question Mark...I'm not DYING~" Seb patted his back.

"I know dude...But-But I'll miss ya." Soos looked back at the Shack. "The house will feel so empty..."

"Ah, don't worry! I'm sure Ford's explosive experiments will keep you more than entertained! And the workers making noise to build the research center." Seb then grinned mischievously and nudged Soos with his elbow. "And dear Melody is now here to keep you company~"

She had come back when Soos called her because 'they were short of employees' and now the two were going to manage the Shack while Seb was out. The property was under Ford, but the attraction was Seb's, and Soos' family was staying to make sure everything ran smoothly AND to make sure Dr. Pines 'didn't die for real, dude!'

Soos smiled at the thought of working next to his girlfriend. "I want niblings." Seb suddenly burst out and Soos turned bright red. "DUDEE!" He cried embarrassed but Seb only laughed loudly.

Soos crossed his arms. "Well, if we are like this...I want niblings from you too!"

Seb stopped laughed and his smile morphed into a mortified grimace. "whAt?!" H-Him? Why-Why did everyone asked him if he wanted kids?!

We-Well...The-The Axolotl did say he could continue with a human life...and-and what was the sickest, saddest, and most limited human mandate than procreation?

Still, thinking about it made him blush bright red. Ho-How silly...H-Him...being a-a dad...

Ford came out of the house munching on a chocolate chip cookie. He was smiling happily, starting to belief having Soos and especially Abuelita around wasn't going to be SO bad...

Seb gave him a knowing smile and his older brother stopped before quickly finishing his cookie. "Eh-hem! He coughed and Seb giggled. "We are ready to leave…" Ford informed Seb. So, the first part of the plan was having the Stans travel to New York and meeting with their mom first. They wouldn't want to surprise her too much and hurting her. It had to be a calmed thing, and then they could explain to her the second part of the plan to REALLY scare Shermie.

Seb, unfortunately, wouldn't be there because he was traveling to Pennsylvania to meet with Wanda. Then, they would go to New York to join the next part of the plan.

Dillon came out of the Shack, holding his dad's hand with one hand and a souvenir from the shack with his other hand. Soos said he could grab something and he got a snowglobe. He liked those. Carla walked behind them carrying Dillon's bag. "We're ready, Seb." She agreed.

"Wait, Mr. P!"

Seb turned around and smiled when he saw Wendy, along with her dad, Pacifica and Susan. The teenage girl ran towards him and hugged him tight. "I'm going to miss you, you insane lunatic…" Seb chuckled and hugged her back. "I'm going to miss you too, Red…Continue being a pain in the ass."

Wendy pulled apart and chuckled. "Got it…" Dan sniffled dramatically and hugged his neighbor and his brothers. "DON'T DIE AGAIN! WE WERE ALL WORRIED!"

"I WON'T, RED FATHER!" Seb screamed back and patted the lumberjack's back.

Pacifica awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck, not really sure why she skipped classes for the Pines, and sighed before giving the tailor a quick hug. "Bye…I'm going to miss getting dresses from you and seeing you angering my dad." That was always fun.

"You could always hire me for one, Llama, I ain't dying. And I'd bother your dad any time you want for free." Seb ruffled her blond hair and the girl whined loudly. Her family was fine. They weren't on the street or anything, he would feel kind bad if that was the case, but they had moved to one of their other houses which was still big and luxurious. The other houses were sold though and the pony Pacifica kept was now living in a rented barn because they didn't have space with him.

Oh no…poor them…

"Sebastian…the plane." Ford reminded him. "I know, I know!" Seb huffed. Susan also gave him a tight hug, some sort of closure for her and her feelings. He was leaving town to meet with his girlfriend…She had no one to blame but herself. She should have been direct, she bet Seb had NO idea of her feelings for him!

"Bye, Susan, I'll back,I ain't dying." People were crying as if he was going to die or to war! "I'll go to the diner the moment I come back!"

Susan wiped a tear from her eye, smearing herself with a bit of makeup and nodded. "I'll be waiting with pancakes for you and your…girlfriend…" She gritted her teeth and smiled. Stop it! She scolded herself. You have the oldest triplet yet!

The group went to the bus stop to go to the airport but then the rest of the townsfolk came to them to give their final goodbyes, even some magic creatures! All crying because the Pines were leaving town (despite Ford was coming back in a few days). "People, we aren't dying!"

-.-

Wanda was at work, going through some boring paperwork when Seb texted that he was arriving in the evening! Not at night like he said before! Dammit! She said she was going to meet him at the airport! She was going to take a few days off to catch up with him because she thought it was important to spend some time together after all this time (and Magda said that if she was really meeting her not-dead boyfriend, she HAD to put him before her job), but if he was coming earlier than expected, she'd have to leave in…an hour.

She handed the paperwork to the practitioner/ her assistant/secretary and stared at the kid. Aaaww~! She remembered being just like that when she was younger~! "Listen, Gary, I have to leave now, family emergency, you know? I also need you to rearrange my schedule and cancel my calls, I can't talk to any client right now." The young man nodded. "I'll not disappoint you! I'll have this done by tomorrow, Ms. Friedmann! It's…not like anyone give me a real job to do around here anyway…" He mumbled and Wanda chuckled. "I trust you on that, you know the case, write me an e-mail when you're done."

Wanda walked calmly through the hallway, waving at her co-workers who were in their own laptops or talking to their clients, before she reached the parking lot. She got in her car, took a deep breath and SHRIEKED.

SHE WAS SEEING SEBAS TODAY!

She went home, took a bath and changed into some not-for-work clothes. She chose a nice skirt and a blouse. She really wanted to look nice for their meeting. Seb would probably look like a zombie like any person coming out of the plane, or maybe not. Knowing him, he'll look just as amazing as she remembered…

She debated whether or not to drive there. At the end she chose not to. What if they-maybe-they went to drink something? She couldn't drink and drive, that was a crime. So she took a taxi. Once in the airport, the blonde saw the crowd waiting for their loved ones or costumers. Some had signs that read 'Welcomes back!' or "WELCOME TO THE US!" or "John." And that made her frown. She should have gotten something special…

Wanda looked around and with a smile, she bought roses. Now she had to wait…

-.-

Seb said bye to his brothers, Carla and Dillon once they were at the airport in Portland. He had called Shermie already. The Stans would be going to New York first, Carla would try to keep things under control, while Seb went to Pennsylvania to meet with Wanda and kidnap her for a few days. He stared from the airplane's window and sighed, watching the clouds and bright sky. He was so close to seeing her again…What will happen once they see each other? Will things go back to how they were before?

He didn't need a Bill2 to make him feel bad, he could do that to himself. Wanda was working, and she studied in an incredible good college! She had a great job and she was an amazing person and professional…He was back in square one. A loser, drop out who had nothing to offer, who once again didn't have a job, he was crazy, and he was a monster… Eye or not, nothing was going to undo what he really was. And he was a demon, he…was never going to get rid of that, unfortunately, recovering his past life memories was more than enough proof. The only good thing he did was bringing his brothers back, and while it was amazing…he didn't think it was enough to deserve a life with Wanda. Ax said he would come back, but…not necessarily he was entitled to good things now…

He wanted things to work out, now that he had a second chance, he COULDN'T, WOULDN'T fuck this up. Because he died for this stupid planet! He deserved at least to be with the only other human he felt entirely comfortable with and could love as his own family. Seb drew his knees to his chest and wiped his tears with his shoulder. It had to work because his family was happy, he wanted to feel happy as well…and he couldn't bleed to death anymore if something was hard.

"It's going to be fine…Wanda loves you and-and you love her back. It will be ok…You will talk to her, apologize for escaping and disappearing, and promise not to leave again." Seb started talking to himself and the woman sitting next to him gave him a questioning look. Was…was he okay? Was he kidnapped? Did he need help!?

The plane didn't give the passengers anything to eat, you had to buy it yourself, those fuckers, so Seb was looking forward to eating. He didn't eat much breakfast because of how excited he was, now he was regretting it. There weren't even screens to watch anything! His leg was bouncing in boredom. He wanted to land now!

The woman sharing row with Seb frowned a bit as she watched the 30 something year old man throw a mini tantrum, rolling from side to side and muttering "Hunngryy…booreed…" Jesus Christ, if he wasn't handsome, she would have already called the flight attendant…

For the woman and Seb's relief, the plane started descending and Seb jumped to his feet the moment he could leave. "Freedom! See ya, suckers!" The blond grabbed his bag and ran out of the plane. He needed real air! He stepped outside and took a dramatic mouthful of air. Ah! No more cabin pressurization! He hated airplanes! He took another deep breath to calm himself, he was going kinda insane there, gotta control that! and focused on the next step: Find Wanda. Seb pulled out his phone from his pocket and messaged her he had already landed.

Like the rest of the herd of people coming out of the plane, Seb simply followed the mass, knowing they'd take him outside. He started pulling his sixth finger nervously.

-.-

"Curse you, shorty genes!" Wanda groaned in frustration as she tried to look from behind the tall people waiting as well. Her phone buzzed but she ignored it in favor paying attention to the crowd of people coming out of the gates. She looked around, realizing that she was seeing Seb after almost 18 years…Holy shit. Talking to each other was nothing like seeing each other face to face. Why didn't they send photos? How stupid! Will he remember her? Will she be able to recognize him after only seeing him in a dream?

And then, after pushing through some people, Wanda saw him.

That was definitely Sebas…

The confused man looking around, half his curly hair dyed yellow, his brown right eye confused as the other one was covered by an eyepatch. He was wearing a yellow sweater, a blue shirt under it, dark jeans and brown shoes.

Wanda stared in awe at the man, and as she stared, Seb finally caught her eyes. People walked past them carelessly, minding their own business and grumbling at the two people standing in the middle of the way. However, it started picking their curiosity, when Seb let out a loud sob. "Wa-Wanda!"

He dropped his back and ran towards her, making Wanda sob as well. The people around, now more interested, cooed loudly when the man picked her up from the waist before swinging her around in circles before putting her down and hugged, clinging to her like a lifeline. Seb stared in disbelief at her bright green eyes and sobbed again. "I-I-I'm so sorry…"

Wanda gently cupped his face in her hands as she tried to hold back tears, failing miserably. "Sebas...I missed you so, so fucking much..." She whispered and leaned a bit, her forehead touching his.

"I missed you too...I-I never thought I'd see you again..." Seb sniffled and gave her a light peck on her lips. Wanda pulled him closer and gave him a full kiss that for them, lasted forever. Seb pulled away when his lungs gave up and laughed breathlessly. "I missed you even more..."

Their cheesy, little scene was interrupted when Wanda was bumped by a passing man. Seb looked around and notice they were standing in the middle of the flow of people and receiving looks from them, some were annoyed, some didn't care, but some were taking photos of them and cooing. Seb blushed, suddenly feeling really awkward, and looked down at the blonde. "We… should move out of the way."

They went to a little café at the airport, as they still had time and Wanda didn't want to go home yet, and ordered something to eat. The woman smiled fondly as Seb poured 3 sugar packages onto his coffee and sipped at it. "Do you need more coffee in your sugar?" She joked and Seb looked up at her before looking down at his drink.

"Ah, no, it's fine!"

Wanda smiled even wider at his dumb, innocent smile.

"Stan said I didn't use that much sugar before, but he said it was the only way I drank coffee after I lost my memories, so...Besides, it's fine, I like sweet stuff."

Wanda frowned a bit. "Wait, what do you mean you lost your memories?"

Seb stopped. Should he tell her about weirdness? He'll have to tell her about the Stans and when they were gone. He didn't want to lie to her, if he wanted to make this work, he had to be honest, even if she didn't believe him…Carla DID…Maybe Wanda could believe her as well…He'll have to tell her about her powers eventually too. He could hide his powers in Gravity Falls because he didn't interact with the townsfolk as much, Soos knew because he was always at the Shack, he told Wendy when it was time…But he was LIVING with Wanda now…He used his powers as if they were an extension of himself, which they were… He-He was sure Wanda will understand…or she'll think he was insane and crazy and worthless and leave…He-he didn't want her to leave.

"I had an accident, I almost die like, 2 weeks ago? And I lost my memories for a bit, but don't worry…I-I got them back." It was weird though. He had lapses of time where his mind blacked out, and he couldn't remember stuff, from basic things like who he was or where, to insignificant things like his favorite plate of food and when he gave his first steps. They didn't last more than 5 seconds though so he wasn't too worried about it, it must be his weak human mind still getting used to the rush of memories flooding.

"Oh god! Is-Is that why you didn't write in that time?! I didn't know! I'm so sorry!" Wanda cried and held his six-fingered hand with her two hands. Seb covered her hands with his free hand and smiled widely. "You didn't know, I'm fine now." Without letting go of Wanda, who was still frowning a bit, he took a bite of his muffin, which successfully made her giggle. "Ok…I think I'll trust you on that…" She stroked his manicured and painted hand and hummed amused when she compared it to her own hand, clean but simple. She could use a manicure herself… Maybe Seb will like to go with her…?

"So, the Stans are back, huh? What the heck happened with all that? Wasn't Ford supposed to be dead?!" Seb shrugged. "It's a LOONGG story…" He checked the time on his phone and his eye widened. "FUCK! You asked for a few days off, no?"

Confused at the sudden change of topic, Wanda nodded slowly. "…Yes?"

"Ok, cool, let's go!" He finished his coffee with two gulps and shoved his muffin to his mouth. Wanda threw a few dollars on the table before quickly grabbing her purse and following Seb. "What? Were?"

"We're late for our next flight!"

That caught Wanda off guard. "What?! Flight!"

"Yeah! I'm taking you to meet my brothers! It'll be quite the show, you'll like it!"

"But, But Sebastian, I didn't bring any clothes!" She complained but still allowed herself to be pulled through the airport to check in and go through security.

"We'll go shopping there!" Wanda was pretty excited for this little trip but very confused. She held his five-fingered hand as they walked. "So…what's the occasion? Um, why now?"

"Ah well! It supposedly for my mom's funeral!"

-.-

Dillon winced at the red mark Dad and Uncle Ford had on their cheeks, it looked even more painful because Granny was using bracelets and rings…

Kari was sobbing loudly, covering her mouth as her shoulders shook. Carla was comforting her, because the Stans were literally incapable of moving right now, as they were frozen to their spot, still holding their cheek. Dillon moved to hug his dad's leg and patted it. "There, there, daddy…"

Carla hadn't wanted to scare her mother-in law, so like a good person, she explained to her who was going to go through the door so she could be more prepared. But of course, nothing could prepare the woman to find herself face to face with her oldest two babies who left 13 years ago and she thought them dead. She had screamed loudly, putting a hand over her mad heart, and first thought she was seeing things, the age catching up to her, but Carla held her arm before she fainted, her legs had been really close to giving up, and the Stans were gaping at her, breathing hard, and Ford even lifted his glasses to rub his eyes with a fist. "Kari, they're back!" Carla smiled.

The woman had sniffled, her tears freely streaming down her face, and she walked over to her sons. She put a hand on each of their cheeks, their jaws were so sharp and defined, just like their father…and she let out a sob before slapping the heck out of the two.

""OOOWW!"" The two interdimensional travelers that fought monsters and lived as fugitives for 13 years whined like kids when their 60 something year old mother slapped them.

"WHERE THE FUCK HAD YOU BEEN?!" Kari then proceed to scold the heck of the Stans, shouting at them and pulling their ears really hard. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURT ME?!" After her well-deserved scolding, Kari then started sobbing on the couch, Carla rubbed her shoulders and whispering kind words.

Stan and Ford looked at each other and wished Seb had been here. They were sure he'd have made things easier for mom. Ma had always been closer to Seb, he needed more attention as a kid, and he stayed at home the most, so their mom had a stronger relationship with their youngest triplet. The two had tears in their brown eyes, but they were two afraid to move and upset their mom further.

And then, after the two thought it was lost and their mom would never forgive them, Kari finally stood up and walked up to her sons, before enveloping them in the tightest hug she could give the tall, muscular men in front of her. "Oh, babies…" The Stans froze but quickly enveloped their mom with their big arms. They were much taller than their Ma, the last time they saw her they were around her height or maybe a few centimeters shorter. The Stans eyes welled up with unmanly tears (nope! They weren't tears! They were sweating through their eyes and their throats were itchy! They were not sobbing!), and held to the thin woman as their lives depended on it. Ford particularly was nuzzling his face against her soft hair. Stanley hadn't seen her since the portal, but Ford hadn't seen her, except for very rare exceptions in his first college years when he wasn't alone to stay on campus, since he moved out of the house…He hadn't seen his MOTHER since he was 19 or 20...

Kari slowly pulled away and this time, stroked her sons cheeks without hitting them. "You owe me a fucking explanation"

"Mom…Dillon is here…Language." Stan smiled and Kari rolled her eyes. "I'll talk however I want! Now start spilling, boys."

The two shared a look before sitting down on the couch with their mom and started telling their lie as convincing as possible. Of course, they knew it wouldn't be as effective, they were talking to a woman who lied for a living, and their mom's judging expression wasn't of any help.

Dillon shook his head. He just wanted to meet his cousins already. And See Uncle Shermie's face! Dad and Uncle Seb were so going to make him piss his pants! When was uncle Seb coming anyway? He was taking so long! He had to come before Uncle Shermie does! And all because he was going to find his girlfriend! He didn't know that woman, but he wanted to meet her all in all. He had never seen Uncle Seb with anyone.

Meanwhile, Kari was staring at her sons with a deadpanning look. Seriously…Kidnapped…to build weapons for terrorists…and they made their way out of it… She might be old, but she was not stupid! Didn't they know WHO they were talking to?! She was the queen of lies, no one could bullshit her, not even Stanley. Besides…she had seen that superhero movie with Dillon and she remembered the plot, damn it!

Kari sent her two older sons the most skeptical look they have ever seen and Ford flinched a bit while Stan pouted. "Mom…It's true!"

"Dillon!" The woman called and the boy skipped into the room, all while Carla looked at the Pines with a really confused expression on her face. "Yes, granny?" The child asked. Kari pinched his cheek and turned him around to face his dad. "Stanley. Tell your son what you just told me."

"About what?" The curly boy asked confused. "Where your dad and Uncle Ford were all this time."

"They were kidnapped by mean guys." Dillon said immediately. He looked at Stan. "Right? You told me that…"

Stan started sweating. The kid's big brown eyes were big and so innocent and it hurt him SO MUCH to lie to him! "Well…yes, technically we were on the run from bad guys for years…" Dillon crossed his arms. "Technically? What do you mean? Where were you and Uncle Ford?"

Ford sighed defeatedly and ran a hand over his face before looking up. Keeping secrets was bad. He had learnt his lesson. He got it. Family was important and you could trust them. "Dillon" Stan started. "You and mom wouldn't understand"

""I WOULD!"" Both grandmother and grandchild spat at the same time.

"During that time, I built trans-universal gateway, a portal that would lead to other dimensions. However, it was pretty unstable and during a fight, Stan and I fell through the portal, getting lost for 13 years with no way to get back until Sebastian activated the portal once again, but creating a tear through the fabric of reality that almost brought a dangerous evil into this dimension, but everything is pretty safe now." Because of Seb, because he saved them all.

"…"

"Alright. I don't understand." Kari admitted while Dillon frowned. "Can you repeat that...in English?"

Carla rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Seb worked really hard on it for thirteen years…Um, he-he told me about the portal that-that day of the funeral…fake funeral." She said as she glanced at Ford.

Dillon gasped. "You-You KNEW?!" Dillon turned to face his mom. "You knew dad was-was in SPACE or whatever and you didn't tell me?!" Kari was slowly processing what she was told. Her sons weren't kidnapped…her oldest baby wasn't VIOLENTLY MURDERED like she was forced to believe for more than a decade, but they were in SPACE, because of a machine Stanford BUILT, and Sebastian, who ORGANIZED the stupid fake funeral, KEPT the truth from HER?!

SLAP SLAP SLAP!

""OOOWWWW!"" The Stans complained again and Carla gaped in shock at her mother in law. "Bu-But why me?!" Hers wasn't as hard as the men's, but it was still quite shocking.

"For keeping it from me!" Kari spat. Dillon huffed and stood next to his granny. Well deserved! That was for being BAD adults!

-.-

"Are you sure lying to your brother like that is a good idea?" Wanda questioned Seb after he told her his plan to scare the living shit out of his youngest brother. "Don't worry, it will all be fun! I'm sure Shermie is just going to cry anyway!" They were arriving soon, and Shermie and his family were already going, so it was perfect!

The blonde woman slowly, as if scared, leaned on his shoulder from her seat and closed her eyes. "Ok, I trust you know what you're doing…" She smiled and held his hand. Seb looked down at her and timidly kissed her forehead. "Thanks for not getting angry with me for this, I-I know it was really unexpected…"

"It's ok, I was still going to take a few days off from work to be with you~" She purred, and laughed loudly when Seb's face turned bright red and he whined childishly. Wanda covered her mouth (so rude, she was on an airplane), and this time, Seb laughed. "It's nice to know you still laugh the same…I like it."

And this time, Wanda blushed. She suddenly felt this was perfect and everything was going to be perfect.

Well, Wanda was wrong. Nothing was perfect, but with the Pines, everything will be fun and an adventure from now on.

When they arrived to Carla's house, the first thing Seb's mom did was slap him so hard Wanda flinched hard, and watched Seb's mom shout the crap out of him. Carla softly apologized, she couldn't keep peace, Seb whimpered and held his cheek as tears welled up in his eye, and before his mom could continue to colorfully express her anger, she noticed Wanda fearfully standing by the door. And she gasped.

"Oh my GOD! You brought a girl!" Kari squealed, her previous anger immediately gone and turned sweet and kind to look at Wanda. "Hi! Oh, dear, you are so pretty! Oh my god, Sebas never mentioned you!" Kari held Wanda's hands as Wanda looked up at the rest of the family with wide green eyes. "What's your name, dear?!"

"Wanda…" It took a second for Kari to react, but then the name clicked. She gasped and slowly covered her mouth with her hands, freeing Wanda in the process. "You…you are Wanda…? The-the Wanda? From-From all those years ago…?" She asked softly.

Seb walked towards Wanda and stood next to her when Wanda said a sheepish "Yeah…we-we just back again…"

Kari was in heaven.

She hugged Wanda to herself, she was kind of a short girl, but she was really pretty, and she remembered how much Seb loved her. She just wanted her baby to be happy, even though if said baby (or three of her babies) were complete and utter idiots.

"Well, I'm glad you are back together…good luck with this dumb man." Kari pointed at Seb and Wanda grinned. "I'll take it into consideration." Kari nodded and this time, instead of slapping him, she hugged her son, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I like her…" Kari whispered and Seb grinned widely. "Awesome!" He whispered back.

"I want grandbabies"

"Mooooommm!" Seb groaned softly and pulled away from the hug with a pout and a red face. He looked at Wanda who had been pulled away by Dillon, she didn't hear anything luckily. "You have 3 already."

Kari scoffed hard. "Yeah, from only 2 of my FOUR sons!" She didn't have that many kids to only have 3 grandbabies. "I want babies from all of you…" She glanced at Ford who was with Stan greeting Wanda for the first time. "…I'll have to wait longer from some of you…but I'm a patient woman."

Seb rolled his eye. Right. Sure. Ford having kids. Ford and a woman…or man? Urgh, no, the mental image was disturbing. No. He didn't see Ford like the type to do that…Maybe he should adopt like, seven kids and that way Mom will be happy?

The youngest triplet grinned mischievously. "Hey, mom, Wanda, want to see my yellow eye?!" Kari frowned. "Why? What is so impor-AAHHHH! HOOLYY FUCK!"

-.-

Shermie leaned against Abigail's head the entire flight. He was breathing heavily to hold back tears, and his wife was stroking his messy curls. "I-I am a terrible son…"

Abigail didn't say anything, she just continued giving him comfort. Dipper and Mabel were a row behind them, eating expensive plane chocolate chips muffins their parents didn't know Mabel ordered. Waddles had to stay at home, but luckily their Grandma accepted to take care of him. The girl looked at her twin with her face covered in crumps when he whispered. "I feel bad for Dad, he is really feeling bad."

Mabel waved a hand. "Nah, don't worry, he feels bad now, but when he sees you know who he'll be so Happy and all of them with hug each other very tightly and they will all be best friends again…besides, we're meeting our cousins and AUNTS! Our AUNTS, Dipper!"

The boy sighed, finished his muffins, and pulled out new Journal which had a Pinetree on the cover, to write some things. Mabel and him fell asleep for a bit though, and were woken up by the nice flight attendant telling them to put their seats back up as the plane was going to start descending.

Shermie was charged for the muffins and without the energy to argue, he simply paid. They got out of the plane, much to Mabel's relief and went to search for a taxi. They didn't bring much things, so they didn't need to wait for their luggage.

Abi was calling a taxi, Shermie was really feeling down today, while Mabel quickly wrote to Dillon. "HI COUSIN 3 3! Were in the aiport now! Well be there SOON! :PP Prepare everything!"

"We're on it ;)"

Shermie looked at his kids and smiled sadly. "You…you got along with your Gr-grandma really well when you were babies…M-Mom always told you stories and you two loved them so-so much…" Mabel and Dipper shared a look when their dad wiped a tear and quickly hugged him. This was for the greater good, he'll forget about it when he knows everyone is safe and sound.

"Un-Uncle Seb is already there…" Mabel whispered and Shermie nodded with a sniffle. Oh man…Seb must be totally destroyed right now, he was really close to mom and now…The young man hugged his kids. He just wanted to be there for his brother, he needed him right now.

The taxi took them to Carla's house faster than Shermie expected and he stared at the house with dread. It was a bit strange that there weren't more people here, but it didn't matter. It scared him to go inside.

"DILLON! WE HERE! REPEAT! WE HERE! :0"

Slowly, the family of four walked towards the front door and with a shaky hand, Shermie nodded and knocked a few times. Carla and Dillon opened the door and Mabel had to do everything in her power not to squeal excitedly. That was their cousin and Aunt Carla! They MUST be! AAWWW! He was soso cute! She LOVED his freckles! It was going to be so easy to find Dillon a girlfriend~

"Oh, hi, Sherman…" Carla made a sad face, it was not an exaggerated one, she was an actress after all, and Dillon was a natural histrionic. "Seb and Wanda are already inside…"

Shermie nodded slowly. "Thank you, um, who is Wanda though?"

"Sebastian's girlfriend." Carla said and moved so they could get in. Shermie pursed his lips a bit. He didn't know Seb had a girlfriend… He looked at the twins, but they didn't seem to be paying attention. Dillon waved at them and they hugged each other with a sad pout. He wished his kids could have met with their cousin in a happier day…

"Guys, after this, we HAVE to know each other…" Dillon whispered to the twins who nodded eagerly.

Shermie, Abigail and the twins walked inside and found Seb and a blond woman who must be Wanda, sitting in the kitchen. "Oh, Shermie." Seb stood up and went to hug his younger brother, who was trying to be strong and brave and hold back his unmanly tears. "I-I'm sorry…I'm sorry…I-I should have visited her, I should-" Seb patted his head softly as he looked at the twins, who were doing everything in their power not to grin, and he winked at them.

"I'll take you to the living room...Mo-Mom is there…" Seb wiped his own tear covered cheek. He had made himself cry thinking his dear mom will die someday and he had been crying for real with Wanda rubbing his back.

Seb took his brother as Abi was suddenly stopped by Carla, who smirked the second the two brothers were gone. "Wait, sweetie, you'll want to see this…" Abi looked at Carla and-Wanda was it? With utter confusion. "Excuse me? Shermie's mother just died…"

Wanda rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, not exactly…" That made Abi frown even more.

Shermie prepared himself to see a coffin and flowers and photos…instead…he saw his mother…ALIVE, and chilling on the couch with a book in her hands. Shermie's green eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands. As if that wasn't enough, Seb let go of him and shouted "GUYS NOW!" And slowly, two men looking just like Seb entered into the room. Seb slid towards them and grabbed the man with glasses' hands.

6 fingers.

"Surprise, kid! Mom's not dead! And look who else IS NOT dead?!" Seb smiled widely, hugging his triplets. "Sebastian…" Ford sighed as Stan gaped at Shermie. "Holy shit, Shermie! You are so big now! Remember when you were a kid? Seb told us what you did, you naughty boy~ But don't worry, the twins are amazing!"

The women and the kids joined them in the living room. Abigail gasped when she saw Kari and the two men who were definitely Sebastian's brothers (who were supposedly dead! Shermie went to their funeral!)They looked at Shermie, paralyzed by the door with his eyes so big they feared they were going to explode. Abigail frowned worriedly and slowly walked towards her husband. "Baby? Are you ok?"

Seb laughed, his brother seemed like he was going to faint. "Oh, come on, Shermie, I know it was kinda rude to pull a prank like this, but you have to admit it was hilarious! Come on!" he poked his cheek. "Don't worry though, you can cry all you want, and we will be here to-AAAAHHH!" Shermie grabbed him by the wrist and swung him towards the Stans.

He wasn't going to pass out because that was for the weak, he was a black belt and he was furious.

The Stans screamed and were knocked to the ground by Seb who was thrown at them. The 3 fell to the floor and stared at their baby brother with big brown eyes.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"""AAAHHHHH!""" The triplets hugged each other as Shermie charged at them.

And for the second time in the day, they were beaten up to pulp. Kari continued reading her book, the boys deserved it for lying to their baby brother like that. The younger women stared as Shermie beat the shit out of the triplets. Carla snorted softly before she burst out laughing, Wanda was staring in shock, knowing this was a bad idea, as Abigail shook her head. "Shermie, stop! You already proved your point!"

Now that they didn't need to act sad anymore, the twins gave their granny the biggest hug, accepted her loud kiss, and turned to look at their cousin, totally ignoring how their dad was kicking and punching his older brothers. "So, I have a Wii in my room, wanna play?"

"Yeah!" Dipper roared as Mabel squealed. "Do you have that cute game where you can make babies sleep?" Dillon nodded as Dipper rolled his eyes. "Mabel, you never win in that." "It's still cute!" Mabel ran to her bag and pulled out a colorful card for her cousin. "For your birthday!" She hugged him and Dillon gasped. "Dude! Thank you!"

The kids ran upstairs to play and spend some well needed time together as the brothers finished fighting.

Shermie managed to knock down his three older brothers, pile them up on the ground like bleeding and bruised pancakes and put his foot over Ford's back. He was panting loudly, but the fire and anger he was emitting was already going away, leaving him just exhausted.

Now that his mind was a bit clearer, he could look down at the Stans. Mom was fine….but the Stans were back. Stanford and Stanley were back, the two brothers he lost as a kid and never got a chance to say bye, as he was too angry with them for not doing anything to stop Filbrick from hurting Seb.

His green eyes welled up with tears and hugged his groaning brothers as tight as he could. "Gu-Guys…You're back…" The young man started crying loudly, clinging to his brothers and Seb painfully turned to look at Ford, who was licking the blood from his broken lip. "I told ya he was gonna cry~"

"You three are going to kill ME someday! Stupid assholes! I hate you!"

Kari looked up from her book and her green eyes welled up with her own tears. She never thought she would see her four sons together again… Everything was going to be ok, her family was fine, it was safe; it was together again…

-.-

24th December.

"Wanda, we're going to miss that plane if we don't hurry!"

Wanda closed the door of the fridge and put the entire slice of bread in her mouth. "It's ok! It's ok! I'm done here! Let's go!"

Seb picked their bags and shook his head with a smile. "You know, people get stomach aches for eating too much~" He leaned closer to her and kissed her lips.

"Are you sure it's not your case~" He poked her belly. She had thrown up a few times and it had scared the living shit of out him, thinking she was getting sick for some reason. She didn't do that anymore, thanks the Axolotl.

"Ok, ok I get it, I'm stressed eating, shut up." Wanda pouted jokingly. They called over a taxi to take them to the airport. They were going to spend holidays in California with the twins and Shermie. Stan and Ford were joining as well. "I blame you, your cooking is too delicious."

"No one can resist my cooking!" Seb puffed his chest with pride and got a smack on his arm. Wanda fell silent for a second. "Do you think I'm getting fat?" Seb stopped, the taxi driver silently wished Seb good luck, and Seb slowly looked down at Wanda.

"Um…Stanley said those were tricky questions…Do…do you think you are?" To be completely sincere, she had gained a bit of weight, but JUST A LITTLE BIT compared to when they saw each other again…Like she said, she was stressed eating, and eating too much usually led to that, but he didn't see what the big deal was.

"I think you look lovely just like you are." Wanda smiled, wiping the tear that was threatening to fall from her eyes, and nodded. "Thank you" before leaning on his shoulder. The taxi driver stopped in a light, looked back at Seb, and gave him a thumbs up.

-.-

""Uncle Seb!"" Mabel (with Waddles running after her), Dipper and Dillon ran to their uncle as soon as they saw their taxi parking. They only found a late flight, so Stan, Carla, Dillon, Kari and Ford were already there. The triplets laughed and hugged each other as Shermie ushered everyone inside. "Come on, the snow is getting inside!"

Seb carried the three kids with ease (because of his powers) and exclaimed. "You three are so big! What the hell! Dipper~ Did you use a crystal again~?" He teased, lifting the hat Wendy gave him to ruffle his hair.

"Nope! I grew up!" "But I'm still the alpha twin!" "And I'm the alpha cousin! I'm the tallest!" Dillon didn't know what they were talking about, but he was still the tallest!

"Auntie Wanda!" Mabel squealed and hugged her legs before looking up. Mabel gasped loudly. "Oh my gosh! Are you pregnant?!"

Wanda's brain stopped working and her face went red. "I-I no, sweetie, I'm-I'm not-not, I'm just-" Before she could finish stuttering, Mabel was knocked down to the floor by a flying cushion. "SHOOTING STAR!" Seb shrieked. "What a rude girl! Where's your dad who isn't teaching you any manners?!"

Abigail and Carla looked at Wanda before looking each other with a knowing look. Girl, she needed to stop being in denial~

Mabel apologized, mildly embarrassed, and ran away with her brother and cousin, who was mocking her endlessly. Wanda coughed awkwardly and wrapped her coat around herself a bit tighter. You know? Maybe she really needed to go to the doctor to make sure she wasn't…Please, let Mabel be wrong. "Hey~ Fordsie…How's the-nerd center going on?" She changed the topic.

"Oh, it's actually going great." Ford adjusted his glasses. "It's getting built faster than normal, actually, thanks to some crazy machines my friend Fiddleford invented, they-" Stan pushed him aside. "Well, no one is going to ask me about the team I took to victory?!"

Seb giggled. He had sent a few drawings to some fashion companies, after Wanda found his binders with drawings, and now he…just needed to wait for them to reply, and he was studying again…and he was making personalized dresses again…But holy shit! Ford and Stan's faces were everywhere in the news! That was WAY more important!

"Yeah, can we talk while eating? It's going to get cold~" Kari remembered them and everyone rushed to the living room to eat. The kids were going to take a seat when Seb picked them up and pushed them towards the kitchen. "Kids' table is there~~"

"What!? Not fair!" Dillon and Dipper complained as Mabel huffed and crossed her arms. Seb looked at Wanda. "Oh, ok, they we will eat your nuggets and you can eat all our vegetables…"

"""NOO!""" The three ran away and disappeared into the kitchen.

Wanda giggled and fist-bumped him. "Good job" She praised. "I know~" The brunet with dyed blond hair grabbed her hand. "Shall we eat now?" Wanda took the offered hand and smiled. "It'll be pleasure~"

The house was filled with Christmas music and the delicious food was served. This was a very happy Christmas for the triplets. For the first time after 13 years, they were back, celebrating it with their family and the people they loved the most…

Seb helped carry the stuff to the table and glanced out of the window, seeing the half-moon shining and making the snow outside glisten. He smiled. "Thank you…for this second chance…" He sat down and kissed Wanda's lips softly. Because maybe the deal with the Axolotl wasn't that bad after all…

The end…
