That night...
Just as soon as everyone was in bed, Aranea opened her eyes back up and she crawled out of the crib.
It took her a few minutes but, she managed to get into the Man Cave.
"Mom? Mama? Are you here?" Aranea asked, calling out into the darkness.
Then, a golden light began to appear.
It was Charlotte.
"Yes, my dear Aranea. I'm here." Charlotte said, calling from the rafters.
Aranea then used her silk and she began to climb up to where her mother was.
Just when she got up there, she sat by her mother's side.
"My dear Aranea, you have come a long way since I last saw you today." Charlotte said as she hugged Aranea.
"Yes, mother." Aranea said as she was hugging Charlotte.
"So, I heard you singing at the funeral." Charlotte said, starting the conversation.
"I know, mother. Joy made fun of me." Aranea said, reminiscing the moment after she sung.
"She can be quite mean sometimes but, she won't stay mean for long." Charlotte said, reassuringly.
"So, Mom? Can I ask you a question?" Aranea asked, wondering.
"Of course, dear." Charlotte said as she placed her golden arm around Aranea's shoulder.
"Did you send that message that said: God, Captain Man and me?" Aranea asked, wanting to know.
Charlotte sighed.
"Yes, my dear. I was trying to warn Captain Man." Charlotte confessed.
"Warn Daddy about what, Mom?" Aranea asked, suspiciously.
"About a new arrival to the family web." Charlotte said.
"A new arrival?" Aranea asked, now a bit excited.
"Yes. Do you remember Sabrina?" Charlotte said.
"I do remember Sabrina, mother. Why?" Aranea said, wondering.
"Well, a few days ago, after I passed away, she laid 516 eggs in her magnum opus." Charlotte said, explaining.
Aranea was surprised.
"She's going to have 516 children?" Aranea asked, excitedly.
"Yes, my dear. Unfortunately, she died right after." Charlotte said, depressed with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, it's okay. So, when are we going to see this new arrival?" Aranea said, soothingly.
"Tomorrow in the afternoon. Jennifer and Nina are supposed to be coming here." Charlotte said.
That reminded Aranea of something.
"Mom?" Aranea said.
"Yes, dear?" Charlotte responded.
"Are you going to get this place ready for the baby shower?" Aranea said, excitedly.
Then, she yawned.
"Yes, my dear. I'll get started on it after you're asleep." Charlotte said, soothing and reassuring.
Aranea then hugged her mother.
"Thank you, mother." Aranea said as she hugged Charlotte.
"You're welcome, my dear." Charlotte said as she hugged Aranea.
Aranea then began to lower herself.
As she was trying to find her way back into the sprocket, something was bothering her.
"Mom?" Aranea said.
Charlotte looked down at her child.
"Yes, dear?" Charlotte responded.
"When will I get to see this whole place decorated?" Aranea asked, concerned.
"Tomorrow morning, when the first light appears in the sky. When the rooster crows and the stars fade. You'll look around and you'll see my masterpiece." Charlotte said.
Then, Aranea looked at her mother one last time before she went into the sprocket.
