after sabrina’s death, hilda and dr cee move back in with ambrose and zelda. he agrees they all should be together, as a family. a family he now belongs to as well. as the new member of the family, andrés wants to be involved, he wants to help them through this. he might not have known sabrina for long, but grieves too, just not as much as the other three do (he also believes he doesn’t really have the right to grieve as much as they do). so while he wants them to grieve bc it’s a healthy thing to do, he also wants to try and bring them some sense of normality. 

he’s being the best husband to hilda, supporting her, loving her, taking care of her as good as he can, allowing her to grieve but also offering her as much distraction as she wants and needs. with her, one of his favorite things to do is to sinfg or watch old horror movies. then there’s ambrose, he’s being quite the dad for ambrose, he listens to him when no one else will, he gives him advices when he needs them, he’ll give him hugs if he feels lost. with ambrose, it really feels like he got a son through his marriage with hilda. now with zelda, he has come to try different things. at first he would just let her yell at him if she needs to let out her anger and sorrow, he doesn’t take it personally. but he also tries to just talk to her, about everything and nothing at all. he’s trying to give her the space to grieve in her own way while also growing closer to her; they are, after all, a family now.

             Giving the eulogy had taken her last vestige of strength; having to stand before those people, her coven, Sabrina’s friends, and talk about the girl she loved like her own child was one of the most agonizing things she had ever had to do. That pain compounded as she heard Ambrose’s cries over the others. Zelda ached to stop talking, to rush to him and throw her arms around him and never let him go, never let go of her only remaining child.

             Once she had gotten through the eulogy and everyone began to go off into separate conversations, some lingering while others followed Hilda to the house, Zelda made her way to him after watching Prudence step away and go to Agatha, another poor traumatized child she should reach out to but not before Ambrose. But once she reached his side, her lips parting to say something, she couldn’t find anything to say. A thousand different apologies sprung to her mind. The boy was hugging himself, and she could say nothing!

to live a life without sabrina, that was hell. nick's own personal hell, it seems. the way she left them, left him. it all felt so abrupt, like----it was her destiny. ever since sabrina died, nick's been here and there, contemplating what they could have been, if he had done enough to save her. he doesn't dare go around the spellman's home anymore, because it reminds him of her, the spirit she had, the way she was. always so selfless and preserving. he was glad that he told her that he still loves her, that there's still something between them.

sometimes, nick finds himself lonely, only to surround himself with prudence and agatha, although, it's become boring and dull now. the academy's empty, only the statue of sabrina in the middle, reminding him, reminding everyone that she saved them, that she's their savior. too many months pass by, suddenly, everything is almost okay again, nick's okay again. often times, he has dreams about sabrina, about what would have happened if she didn't sacrifice herself to save them. he only hopes that someday, they'll meet again.

there he is, in the footsteps of the mortuary, steadying himself, wanting to knock on the door. instead, all he does is teleport himself inside, the very semblance of sabrina there, he can feel it. walking around the home, he could feel the ghost of sabrina there. even though, he knows there isn't one, he can feel it. careful steps, nick peers around the rooms, looking for whoever's there. salem runs out of one of the rooms, scaring nick for a moment.
