Shego was gazing instinctively out the window as Estella drove the station wagon home. Her eyes were still full of fury. But calmly she said, "Shego honey, this isn't your fault. You just won't be coming to school for a little while." She said looking back through the mirror at the disappointed tot. "How come?" Estella sighed, "Don't worry about it," At that moment her face brightened, "Besides, I have a surprise for you when we get back." "Surprise?" All damages done were forgotten. She had pushed the boy out of her mind. A surprise was something more important. Boys were stupid anyways. If he had stayed a few milliseconds longer, She would have given him her name.
Shego was un-strapped from her car seat. She was a bit ashamed that she still had one. She had seen Angelina and Liz riding without them before. This made her feel like a baby. "Estella? Can I ride no car seat?" Shego asked. Estella smiled and pinched her nose making Shego yelp. "You grow up faster every day. Of course you don't need your car seat any longer. Perhaps Mego might like to have it." Shego thought over this suggestion carefully. She didn't want that dirty toddler in her pretty pink car seat. No way. "No!!!" Shego shrieked as she burst into tears. Estella just laughed as she opened the door to a very empty house.
"Where is Hego?" Shego asked almost immediately. Her big brother always waited for her when she came home. "He's at school, still." "Oh." She said flatly like a deflated balloon. "What about Mego and twins?" "Daycare." She responded. Mego and Wegos were too young for school. Shego remembered when she had been sent to day care. There were so many plastic foods and pots to bang on. Even a longer nap. Sometimes she secretly missed when times had been so simple and fun. Nothing could possibly be more complicated than big bad Kindergarten. "Where is the surprise?" Shego asked curiously hopping out of her grandmother's arms. Estella grinned, "Outside butterfly." This made Shego trip her way over glass door. "Lemme see! Lemme see!" Estella unlocked the door and Shego's eyes widened when she saw the sight in front of her. "It's the treehouse!" She squealed jumping up and down. Estella smiled and brushed some sawdust off herself. Old as she was, she still kicked ass with a couple old tools and boards. "But you can't go up yet. Not till your brothers come home." Estella told her crossing her arms. Shego spat, "When come back?" "In an hour sweetie. That's sixty whole minutes. Think you can wait that long?" Shego nodded and ran inside to play with her Barbies like a good girl would. Estella threw back her head and laughed. Even so, Shego was the most impatient of the kids. But she was happy this treehouse had been built so well. It was really sturdy. It could use a paint job but it had been sanded down very smooth. It could support around eight hundered pounds. It was completed with a rope ladder.
Estella realized she couldn't leave Shego unsupervised for long so she turned and began to head inside. Just as she reached the door, something struck her hard. She'd been at the house a few days now, and hadn't taken the opportunity to see her son once. It wasn't like she didn't love him. She loved him a lot. But she never had really agreed with the way he raised Hego and his other children to their current ages. He never paid much attention to them. Now that she provided it. It was like a disease, every Hart child wanted some. Also, she couldn't bare to look at her son the way he was. So very lifeless. Just like rotting flesh. Even just peering into that dreary room had brought tears to her eyes. She sighed and shook her head pushing the thought from her mind. Her son, his wife, that was in the past now. She was now the guardian. And it was time that she acted like one. "Shego! Are you alright?" She called running into the house
