Living with Gladstone wasn't perfect but it was kinda fun while it lasted. Lisa called Gladstone after a week of them staying with him and claimed to have found people who were willing to take the boys.
She picked them up that afternoon to take them to their new homes.
"Last chance to keep us here with you"Dewey says tears pouring from his face yet laughing so he didn't have to admitting that he's actually crying.
"Oh come on dew drop, I'll visit so much you'll get sick of me before you know it"He promises.
"Doubt it"Dewey says rubbing his face with his sleeve.
"Have I ever lied to you?"He asked.
"I guess not", Dewey shrugs.
"I promise, I'll still be here and we'll see each other plenty"He says.
Huey smiles, "Goodbye uncle Gladstone"He quickly ran into his arms forcing a hug, the duckling didn't even care to warn him first. "Thanks for everything."
Gladstone didn't expect it, though he should've, these kids were very affectionate. He smiled and finally hugged him back, "Bye kiddo", soon Dewey joined in, the whole situation seemed like Donald should've been there. "Bye dew drop."
All Louie could think of is what Donald would do if he were there, would he feel jealous of Gladstone getting so much attention or would he join in on this group hug?
Gladstone eventually lets go of the other two and they get in the car. Louie thought it seemed more like one of those creepy carriages they used to haul criminals in old movies, not sure where they'd go but for some reason knew it would be bad and they may not survive.
Gladstone walked up to Louie, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong green bean? Not even going to say goodbye?"He asked.
Jealous. Donald would definitely be jealous, Louie thought.
Louie's done saying goodbye to people, he couldn't do it anymore, so he just shakes his head, doesn't even look at Gladstone.
"Come on Louie, it won't be that bad, I'll visit anytime I can"He says.
Tears started to fill Louie's eyes, he couldn't even pretend anymore. What was wrong with him?
"Hey"Gladstone tried turning him around to face him but Louie looked the other way, "I promise everything will be alright".
"Why don't you want us?"he asked as straight as he could without sounding like he was crying.
"Come here"Gladstone says pulling Louie into a hug he couldn't refuse. Louie wrapped his arms around him and cried openly. Gladstone has never seen him act like this, not that he blames him but he didn't know the right protocol.
Donald would know what to do, he was so good at calming them down. "If I could take you I would but I can't ok? I promise everything will work out. You're going somewhere you'll be taken care of, a good home with nice people."
"B-but I d-don't w-want to g-go anywhere"He says, "I want to stay here, please don't m-make me", still crying his eyes out which made Gladstone consider it one last time, he remembered how scary it was when his parents died and he started living with a stranger, but it worked out ok and for his own good, it'll probably work out for them too. "Listen, I'd never let them take you if I didn't think it was the right thing to do. Lisa will take care of you and send you to a real home with people who will care about you."
"What if they don't?"He asks.
"Then Lisa will send you to someone who will. You'll be ok, you have my number in case you need me right?"He asked, Louie nodded as he started to calm down.
"We really needs to get going. We don't want anyone to worry"Lisa says.
Gladstone nodded then turned his attention back to the child who's face was indecisive, "You going to be ok buddy?"He asked.
Before Louie could say anything else Lisa grabbed his arm and lead him to the car, opening the door it and pushing him in. "Thank you mr gander, I'll take over from here."
All he wanted to do now was take the kids away from her, but he reminded himself that they won't be with her for very long and he knows that he made the right decision.
She started up the car and drove away. "Don't worry boys, you're all going somewhere safe."
Huey wanted to scream, he didn't like the way she said that, he grabbed Dewey's hand and wished more then anything that they wouldn't be separated.
But some wishes just don't come true.
Huey:
The boys were taken back to the foster care center and each were taken to different homes.
Huey met his new caseworker named milly, she was nice enough and seemed very interested in him, she asked a lot of questions about his life and personal hobbies, he thought maybe it was because she was actually interested or maybe because she wanted to make him happy. But she couldn't, nothing she could do can make him happy.
"We have a long way to go so do you have any questions for me?"She asked.
She must've ran out of questions. Huey vowed once that he'd never run out of questions, Uncle Donald once said that scientists never hesitate to ask questions and they ran out of them either, and that's what Huey wanted to be, a scientist.
"When will I see my brothers again?"He asked in a very demanding tone.
"Well,"She pauses to clear her throat, "That depends".
"On what?"he asked the same way.
"On your new parents, sometimes distance can be an issue but I'm sure it won't be too long"She says, "Plus you all have cellphones so you can call and text any time."
"Lisa said she'd try and keep us together"He says, "Why didn't she?"
"Lisa shouldn't have made any promise to you, I'm really sorry but sometimes it's easier said then done."
Huey has never been away from his brothers for longer then two hours, what was he supposed to do? What was he to expect? Was this new family nice? He couldn't take this stress, he was use to order, he needed structure, there's no structure in this! And nothing about this feels right.
Despite still having so many questions Huey stayed quiet the rest of the trip, milly isn't the type to keep quiet, so she played music and sang along to the words until they arrived.
"Here we are"She says, "let's meet your new family."
She stopped the car and moved to Huey's side and opened the door for him, he hesitates for a second before stepping out. The house was nice enough, it was white and it had a garden outside but the noise coming from the house that was almost unbearable. Huey covered his sensitive ears and tried his hardest to stay positive.
"Hello"Said a younger lady who seemed older then she should've been. She had nice hair and eyes, perfectly nice hair and bill but she had horrible teeth and was covered in wrinkles, first he thought she was in her sixties but now seemed more in her thirties. People are weird like that.
"Hello mrs Davis, my name is milly and this,"She pushes him forward, "Is Huey."
"Hello Huey,"She said slowly and almost condescending as if she couldn't speak proper English or maybe she thought he couldn't. "It's very nice to meet you."
"Hi"He said.
"Emmett! Lola! Come over here!"She yelled, Huey refrained from covering his ears this time to avoid being rude.
"What's up mom?"A kid who Huey assumes was Emmett asked, two seconds later a younger girl who was wearing a t-shirt with her name (Lola) on it.
"Yeah mom?"She asked.
"These are my lovelies Emmett and Lola"She said to Huey, "Kids, this is the autistic kid I was telling you about."
What did she just say? Huey looked at her when she said that and she smiled as if to say 'it's ok, we already know' he's autistic not crazy, this explains why she was talking so weird.
"Hi Huey,"Both kids say, Huey was still stunned and just waved.
"We also have turner but he's still an infant"She explains.
"Kids, how about you show Huey his new room while I talk to milly"She suggests.
"Ok, come on Huey!"Lola says.
Huey looked at milly as if to say 'please don't make me stay here' but she didn't seem to notice, he was stuck.
"Come on!"Lola demands again. Huey has no choice, he followed Lola to the other room.
