Disclaimer: I don't own KND and none of the characters of the cartoon. I just own the DCFDTL mother, that I named Susan Gregory. Oh, and the names for the Delightful Children I made up on my mind (and I'll always use these names for them on all my fics about the DCFDTL). On the next chapters, maybe I can come up with more original characters. Now, go and enjoy this fic! Note: This was written way before that episode, of the official cartoon, where they tell the origin of the DC, so, I was still thinking they were all siblings and that father was really their father.

They were finally free. Their father wasn't controling them anymore. Their mother could come back and they could take off their emotional handcuffs. It took almost 18 years, but they were finally free. All the DCFDTL were free. Now, they could be what they wanted to be. They could do what they wanted to do.

At their father's burial, they were to only ones there. Even being a bad person, he was their father. While they were entering on the cemetary following four men that were carring their father's coffin, they were feeling kind of sad, but with an inner happiness that they were trying to hide. Their father always told them that they should hide their real feelings and wills to the others.

When the coffin was finally underground, and they knew that they didn't need to feel afraid anymore, they all looked to the grave and then looked at the sky. They didn't know why they did that, but they did anyway. All of them at the same time, like one. They were taught to act like that. To act like they were just one mind and one body. They were taught that they should act, talk, think and do everything together, since they were four, when their mother "died".

Their mother was a really wonderfull woman. She was tall, with blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a soft voice and kindness on her heart. All the DCFDTL always used to remember her with a lot of respect and a giant love in their hearts.

Walking back to the cemetary gate, Nadine, the dark-blond haired girl, suddenly stopped to walk. Her siblings stopped too and looked back at her.

"And now?" she asked looking down. "What are we going to do? I mean, there's no one out there to take care of us."

Miette, the shortest girl with glasses, walked towards her sister and, hugging her, she said: "Don't worry. We will be OK. Father is dead and he left a lot of money to us. And we are old enough to take care of ourselves. Right?" she asked looking at her sister face behind her black framed glasses.

Nadine looked to Miette and said, rubbing the lower area of her own rib cage: "Yes, we are going to be OK."

The blonde girl remembered what her father did to her many years ago and wanted to cry. She remembered that when she was 11, she headed a mission to destroy the KND. After talking about it with her father, she and her siblings went to execute the plan, but everything went wrong and all that they won were a spanking. Specially Nadine. Father kicked her on the stomach, right under her rib cage, what broke one of her ribs.

"Hey, Nadine, if you want to cry, cry. Father isn't around anymore," Said Kasen, the one with the helmet. "And you know what? I think mum is coming back. I can fell this."

Nadine looked to her brother, with her eyes full of water and started to cry on her shorter sister's shoulder. She cried everything that she wanted to cry all those 17 years. A loud and hard cry. All her siblings felt touched by that and some tears rolled from their eyes too. Joy and sadness all mixed up.

Out of the cemetary, but still in front of the gate, Albin, the blond boy looked up and said, with a little tone of hope on his voice: "The sky is so blue. It wouldn't be a surprise for me if mum appeared today. Even if she appeared now, it wouldn't be a surprise."

Miette, still hugged with Nadine, said with a soft smile on her face: "Well, she will come soon, that's for sure. She won't leave us alone if she's alive somewhere. Once that she receives the news, she will come running to our mansion to live with us!"

"I will appear sooner than you think," someone said behind them.

All them turned and saw a blond woman, around her 40s, standing under the cemetary gate.

"Hi my little kids! I missed you for so long!" the woman said with tears in her eyes.

She was their mother. She was Susan Gregor.

She reappeared after the burial to see her children again after 13 years without seeing them. That day was more to celebrate than to be sad about Mr. Delightful's death. All the DCFDTL were happy to be free and have they mother back home to take care of them. Have the kind and gentle Susan back.

All of sudden, their eyes became full of water again. It was a long time that they didn't cry. At least, not crying because they were happy. They hugged their mother and, after a long time without doing this, they opened big smiles. But not sarcastics or devilish smiles. Just plain, happy smiles. They smiled because they were free and they also smiled because they discovered that their father lied to them when he said that their mother died.

Kasen, the one with the helmet, was the last one to hug his mother. When he saw everyone there, hugging their mother, he did something that he never did in front of the others: he took off his helmet. Then, his face came out of the shadows. His medium brown hair was a little bit messed up and his blue eyes were shinning with the tears. He was smiling and sighed when he passed his fingers through a scar on his face. It was a cross scar on his right cheek.

All Father's work. It was a punishment for something he did, many years ago. When he was 5, he refused to accept that his mother was dead. Father then took him to his bedroom and punished him. After a long and severe spanking, he grabed a really sharp knife and drew a cross on the little boy's face, making him scream on pain. He didn't care about it and left the boy there, bleeding, with two broken ribs and crying loud because of the pain on his face and body. It was up to his siblings to take care of him the way they could, once they were very young too. After his recovery, he started to use a helmet to cover his scar, and he never took it off again in front of the others.

But now, he knew that he could take off his helmet and forget the past, because the past was now dead with his father. And now, everything would be fine. Then, he went to hug his mother too, dropping the helmet on the ground.

All them knew, deep in their souls that, back in the past, their mother had ran away from Father. Even when he said that she was dead, they refused to believe on it, but they needed to, or they would finish just like Kasen. But, they knew that it was her only chance to live. Her only chance to have freedom. They knew that she loved them and, in the appropriated moment, she would come back to them.

And that's what she did.

"Oh my little chilcren! I missed you all so much. Please, step back so I can see how much you all grew up," Susan said, looking at her children in front of her.

Nadine had become a beautiful girl, with a long dark blond hair and soft white skin. Her body was the strongest of all the DCFDTL because she liked to make exercises and play lots of sports. With her 5'8'' and gentle moves, even with her strong looking body, she was the sweetest girl of all that team. Afraid the moon (specially the full moon) and with a strong interest in punk-rock music, she, in particular, far from her father, liked to listen to Blink 182, Good Charlote and other bands.

Miette was still the shortest and fattest of them all, but she became a lovely person. She was very cute, with her glasses and a kind of melodic voice. Outside her house, she was very talkative and liked to listen to indie music. Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes, White Stripes... All them were great to her. She also had cut her hair very short, and her fear of dentists have grown a lot. She also liked to read books (but everything but horror books, because she hated horror).

Albin, the blond boy, had cut his hair, and now it was very short. He was almost the same height of Nadine and liked all kind of old songs, like Disco and Dance of the 60's. KC and the Sunshine Band, Earth, Wind and Fire and this kind of stuff. He had a big fear of cats and a deep love for colorful clothes. He also just liked to wear white socks since the 4 years. Outside his father vigilance, he was a happy boy, that was always smilling and cheering up his siblings, that were his only friends.

Kasen, the ex-helmeted boy had now a medium length hair, that touched his shoulders, in a light brown tone and he had the "x" scar on his face. He liked rock, specially 70's rock, like Doors, Jefferson Airplane and all those psicodelic things. A little bit taller than Nadine and with an average body. Not fat or skinny. Just normal. Like Albin. He didn't like the blue color and was afraid of closed spaces.

And, Donovan, the tallest of them all, with his 6'5'' and a little bit more, was a quiet boy, that didn't smile too often. His hair was a little bit long and with bangs. And they were really long bangs and they always fell on his blue eyes. He liked hardcore, specially Puddle of Mudd. With a strange fear of flowers and great interest in religion, he was studing in a college just for boys.

Susan looked at her children and more tears came down from her blue eyes. They have grown up a lot in all those 13 years and she was very touched about his.

"Now,"she said "we're going to live like a family. Like a real family! You can all be what you want! You all can wear the clothes you want and listen the music you all want. Please, come with me."

She walked in the direction of a limousine and opened the door.

"Please, enter my children," She said with a smile. "We are going to our new home!".

All the DCFDTL entered in the car and their mother said something to the chauffeur. She entered on the car by the front door and they all went to Susan's house, where she and her kids will live like a real family. Like the family that they could be since the beginning, if Father wasn't around.
