Monkey: Well, it's been a while lmao. Hi. Why am I updating on Valentine's Day? Because I was scrolling through tumblr in the morning, thinking 'aw yeahh, vday means a revival of fanart and fanfics! …. Oh yeah, I have fanfics I should probably update' so here I am, updating lol. I know I left you guys with a cliffhanger (someone reviewed sounding like they weren't happy that I brought the mom in, maybe they thought she'd be a love rival?) but I hope the way I turned this story surprises people lol. I hope y'all are having a fun Valentine's Day! Thanks for reading/reviewing/alerting/favoriting! I always get so happy when people like my story.

The beautiful woman continued staring at Light, easily sidestepping the boys to get closer to the brunet, she was shorter than him, fair skinned, wearing sunglasses despite it being night out, and was blonde and beautiful.

She surprised him by reaching her hands up. She cupped his cheeks, turning his face this way and that despite Mello and Near protesting.

"You are stunning," she commented, bringing his face close to hers.

"Um," Light managed before she kissed him.

Many things happened at once.

Light's caramel eyes went wide as he stumbled forward a bit, inadvertently bringing their bodies closer together.

Near and Mello paled, simultaneously yelling, "mom!" in matching horrified tones.

Matt, who walked over to them, froze as his face turned red.

A small crash was heard when L dropped his fork onto the plate and walked over to them, standing right behind Light.

The woman pulled away, her teeth gently biting on Light's lower lip as she did so. She smirked, catching how she left Light a little dazed. She appreciated the gorgeous blush that spread even to his ears. She released his face. "Nice to meet you, I'm Wedy."

"I-I'm Light." He took a step back when she gave him a dazzling smile, causing him to bump into L who placed a hand on Light's hip and pushed him behind him.

Wedy placed her hands on top of Near and Mello's heads to ruffle their hair. Near had his hand covering his face. Mello rolled his eyes. "Mom…"

Wedy giggled and took a step forward, waving at L. "Yo."

"Hi."

She stopped walking when she stood in front of Matt whose wide brown eyes stared up at her. He had a blush that matched Light's. Wedy looked between Light and Matt. "Oh crap, are you married?"

"N-no," Light weakly replied, unable to look her in the face. He could taste a hint of red wine in his mouth and he hadn't been drinking any which made him blush harder.

Wedy sighed in relief.

L sighed in resignation. "Just because he is not married does not mean you can go around kissing everyone."

Wedy pouted. "But I love beautiful people." She crouched down closer to Matt's height. "And what's your name, cutie?"

"M-Matt," the redhead stammered shyly, looking over at Light who walked over to him.

"This is my son, he's a little shy." Matt hid behind his leg. Light, who had regained most of his composure the moment Matt looked like he needed him, was staring curiously at Wedy, a very faint red dusting his cheeks.

She smiled at him, reaching up to lightly pat his cheek. She laughed when he flinched a bit. "Don't worry gorgeous, I won't jump you again." She lowered her sunglasses, revealing a pair of aqua blue eyes. Her voice sounded like velvet. "Unless you want me to."
"Ok." L cut in before stepping in between them. "Wedy, you should have told me you were coming."

She walked into the living room, taking off her leather jacket and tossing it onto the couch as she walked by. "And ruin the surprise? At least I used a door this time. Though, I guess I was the one surprised." She took off her sunglasses and winked at Light whose face looked like it would never stop being red at the rate it was going. She cackled when she saw that.

Mello finally had the sense to close the front door then crossed his arms over his chest as he walked passed her, stopping just outside the kitchen. "Mom, you are so embarrassing."

Near shook his head as he joined his brother's side. "I think you've scarred them."

L put a hand on Light's shoulder. "I apologize for her." Black eyes searched through caramel ones, checking to see if their owner was really ok.

In those split moments, Light's eyes seemed to be apologizing too. Light thought he was at fault for the mother of L's sons kissing him out of nowhere. L tried to convey that he had nothing to worry about and Light looked visibly relieved.

"It's ok, she's friendly." Light commented.

Wedy came out of the kitchen with a can of beer in her hands. "Oh he's precious. His son is cute too. Are you keeping them? Can I keep them?" She opened the can with a perfectly manicured, sharp, red nail before slamming back most of its contents.

"No one is keeping them," L immediately replied. He turned to Light. "Friendly is definitely one way of describing her."

Near walked over to Matt who shyly looked at the albino's outstretched arm. "Come on, Matt. Let's leave the adults to do adult stuff." Matt timidly took Near's hand, the albino smiled and guided the redhead back to Mello who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs with an armful of snacks. Matt looked back at Light who nodded encouragingly.

Wedy watched the three of them leave and turned to the two men. "I can't wait to see that dynamic when they're older."

Light smiled. He'd been thinking the same thing. L walked over to the dinner table and picked up his cherry pie.

"So why are you here?" he wasn't accusing, his tone sounded genuinely curious.

Wedy shrugged, taking a seat on the couch and undoing the straps of her five inch stilettos. Light had a brief image of her and Sayu meeting and thought they'd get along well. But maybe the world wasn't quite ready for that yet. "Was in between jobs at the moment, thought I'd swing by." She chugged the rest of the beer and settled the empty can on the ground by her discarded shoes.

"You know you are always welcome here," L made his way back to the living room with his pie, taking a seat on the couch opposite of Wedy. He glanced at Light who took his cue and sat beside him.

"Ah, what did you work as?" Light asked, shaking his head when L offered him some pie.

Wedy smirked. "I'm a woman of many talents."

"She is a world-class thief." L answered around a mouthful of pie.

She frowned. "Way to keep the mystery alive."

Light looked between them, an eyebrow raised. "So a detective and a thief?"
"I know right? Such a cliché, I can hardly believe it myself," Wedy replied with a wink. "So, are you two a thing?"

"Yes."

"Kinda?"

"Light, do you let him get away with everything?"

"He lets me get away with nothing." L looked sad for more than just having finished his pie.

"Good. I approve." Wedy decided. She eyed Light. "Although L, I think you're a little out of your league." She eyed his blush. "Way out of your league."
"But you and him, I mean you're so—"

"Yes. Way out of my league." L set the plate on the ground. "I took him to Paris a few weeks back."

Wedy whistled. "Very nice. Light, what do you do?"

"I'm in between jobs but—"

"He's a man of many talents."

Wedy chuckled. "Wow you are so gone on him."

"Um," Light began, drawing both of their attentions. "I know it's not my place to ask, but what relationship do the two of you have?"

"A boring one," Wedy replied with a wave of her hand.

"A normal one." L replied.

Light stared at them because that didn't tell him anything.

Wedy smiled. "Don't worry. He's all yours. I can't be tied down. I have sons who know I love them and they know I'm not the kind of person to stick around."

"Our love was mostly alcohol based," L deadpanned.

Wedy winced. "That too." She shrugged.

"She is the mother of my sons."

"He's the father of mine. Let's leave it at that."

Light looked between the two of them and couldn't help but chuckle lightly at their matching expressions.

"Oh L, he's adorable, I can see why you fell for him."

L looked at Light. "He's also a genius. And he has a long list of great qualities that caught my attention."

Light flushed scarlet.

Wedy brought her legs up onto the couch and crossed them under her, uncaring that she was in a skirt. "And you have a son, tell me about that cutie."

"He is a genius too," L said.

"He's shy when meeting new people but he's a good kid." Light added.

She nodded. "He's precious and I can see why my sons love him."

"He does not yet realize the power he has over them," L commented, bringing a thumb up to his mouth.

Light agreed. "I worry a little about that."

"I would not worry until they are in their adolescent years."

Wedy snorted. "And the mom?"
Light looked down. "She died shortly after Matt was born. It was a complicated birth."

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Wedy stood up from the couch and walked over to him, arms out. L looked like he was going to stop her but she went ahead and, climbing onto the couch to do so, hugged Light who hesitated a bit before hugging her back. "I'm sure you've done a wonderful job raising Matt." She pulled away, leaving a hand on his back.

"It wasn't just us, I raised my sister for a few years too, so she helped a lot," Light replied.

"Your sister. But your parents…?"

"… Died a little before Matt was born."

"Oh Light," she pulled him into another hug. "L, if you ever do anything to hurt him I will hunt you down."

"I will never hurt Light."

Wedy pulled away and Light offered a tiny smile. His eyes lost a little of their brightness. "I'm sorry for ruining the mood."

"You didn't," Wedy and L were quick to assure.

"I think we should get some rest, it has been a long day," L said, standing up to pick up his plate and Wedy's empty beer can. He put them away in the kitchen.

"I want to sleep with Light!" Wedy said.

L immediately shut her down. "Light will have his own room, we have enough space for you to have your own room too."

"Boo." Wedy complained. She gave Light's hand a squeeze before hopping off the couch and making her way up the stairs.

L was collecting the dishes everyone left behind from the dining room table and Light joined him.

"Here, let me h—"

Light didn't finish as L pressed his lips to his own. He let out a little gasp of surprise and L took that moment to deepen the kiss, using his tongue to erase any trace of Wedy ever having touched Light. L pulled Light closer, wrapping his arms around his waist as Light put his arms around L's neck.

L's hands moved over Light's hips, teasing, gently coaxing the shirt up, fingers softly grazing over Light's warm skin.

Light sighed into the kiss and brought a hand up to put in L's hair.

L's thumbs slid under the waistband of Light's pants and—

Someone cleared their throat.

Light practically jumped away from L who gave an unimpressed stare at the person who interrupted them.

It was Wedy, smirking.

"Not that that wasn't super hot, but earlier Light said you were "kinda" a couple and I'm guessing that means the boys don't know, or at least don't know all of it." Light's blush answered that. "So luckily I was the one that caught you, maybe you guys should make out after the boys are in bed."

She walked into the kitchen and retrieved another can of beer.

"It's the grown up warm milk." She winked and went back up the stairs.

L sighed. "Light—"
The brunet took a couple steps towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

With a shy smile, Light said, "Thanks for today. Goodnight, L."

"Sweet dreams, Light."

Light went upstairs and L busied himself with putting away the dishes and setting them in the sink. He'd do them later.

"Sorry about our mom," Near said once the three of them got to the boys' room.

"Yeah, she can be a little intense," Mello added, dumping the snacks into a pile in front of the tv where they planned to play games for a bit.

"She seems nice," Matt spoke, sitting down on the ground as Near dug through the snacks while Mello looked for a new game to play.

Near passed Matt a bag of skittles, his favorite. He also threw a twix bar at Mello who flipped him off but still ate it. Near ate some pretzels.

Mello snorted. "Yeah, she's cool. She does her own thing, we get it."

Matt hadn't opened his candy yet. He was playing with the bag, slowly moving all the skittles from one side of the bag to the other. He didn't even realize he was doing it. "Do you guys see her often?"

Mello and Near froze, exchanging glances without Matt noticing.

Near spoke first. "We usually see her once or twice a year."

"Not really big on birthdays or holidays, just days when she wants to come by." Mello continued, thinking about it. "She'll usually stay for a couple days then leave again."

"She likes to travel," Near finished. Both he and Mello knew what she liked to do for a living but they feared telling Matt their mom was a professional thief might scare him away.

Mello abandoned his search of the game and sat next to Matt. He reached out to ruffle Matt's red hair.

The action snapped Matt out of his thoughts. "Oh, sorry."

Mello offered him a bite of his twix. Matt was going to reject it when the blond broke off a piece and offered it to him.

Matt took it and popped it in his mouth.

Near came over and sat on Matt's other side. The albino took the bag of skittles from Matt so he could open it.

He took Matt's hand and poured some skittles out, picking out the yellow ones because Matt didn't like those. Matt ate the orange ones first.

They sat in silence for what felt like a long time until Matt spoke. "I always wondered what it'd be like to have a mom." He ate two purple ones. "I love my dad and he's done so much for me but," he ate a red one, "I never got to meet her."

Mello and Near scooted closer to him and wrapped their arms around the redhead. Matt sighed. "Sorry I killed the mood."

"Nah, it's healthier to accept your feelings instead of trying to hide them," Mello told him.

"It's ok to feel sad or anything, you're allowed to see other people's situations and wonder," Near added. "You didn't kill the mood."

"I mean we wonder what it'd be like if our mom was at home and stuff, but this is the life we got." Mello continued.

Near poured Matt a few more skittles, taking out a yellow one, and watching Matt slowly eat them. "You live, you learn, you deal with the hand fate deals you."

"In our case things weren't too bad because we eventually got to meet you, right?" Mello grinned.

Matt shyly smiled. "I really like you guys."

Near and Mello felt a blush spread across their faces. Mello choked a bit on the last bit of twix in his mouth. Near looked away from them.

"W-we like you too," they quietly replied.

Mello jumped up from the ground. "So, I say we play something then head to sleep." He rushed over to find a game, dropping a couple he picked out.

Near jumped up too. "Yeah, I'd like to see you lose endlessly at whatever game you pick. Right, Matt?" He went to grab more snacks, tripping over an abandoned snickers bar.

"You little shit," Mello muttered, narrowly avoiding stepping on a game on the ground, but in doing so, slipped and hit the bookshelf behind him.

Matt watched them, a little confused and a little happy. He liked his friends. He hoped they'd be around for a long time. He giggled at their antics.

Mello and Near paused, staring at him then each other, sighing in relief that they made Matt smile again.

Outside, Wedy and Light were quietly giggling as well. Wedy had stopped by their room with her can of beer in one hand. She was going to knock but heard them talking and decided to eavesdrop. Light had popped up shortly after. She put a finger to her lips and glanced at the closed door. Light felt a little bad for eavesdropping but he did it anyway. He was a little sad hearing Matt but he understood him. And he liked that Mello and Near were quick to help.

"They're precious," Wedy mouthed to him when Matt caused her sons to get flustered.

Light nodded. "Goodnight Wedy."

"See you in the morning."

They parted and Light went to his room, the one next to the boys' room in case Matt needed him at all. He stripped and performed his nightly routine. He was sure Matt wouldn't need him tonight. He found good friends in L's sons.

During the night, Mello, Matt and Near finally went to bed. After arguing where Matt was going to sleep, the brothers decided to build a pillow fort for Matt in the middle of their room and the three of them slept in that together.

Wedy finished her beer and she stripped down into nothing but her undergarments and went straight to bed.

Light was originally alone in his room but halfway through the night, Wedy came in, not waking him until she was under the covers with him. Light was surprised but figured it didn't matter much. Until she pressed her body up against his as she slept. Light's face went completely red when he felt she wasn't wearing much clothes.

Almost like L had a sixth sense for this, he came into the room not long after and he was about to wake Wedy up but Light stopped him.

"Let her sleep, she must've had a rough day," Light whispered. Wedy snuggled up more against him, as if happy he defended her. Light flushed again and L narrowed his eyes.

"Then you can sleep with me."

Wedy unconsciously tightened her grip around him.

Light had to wonder if she was actually asleep. He smiled sheepishly at L before lifting up the covers and patting the space next to him. L climbed in after debating it for a few seconds and pressed up against Light's other side.

Light sighed. Hopefully it woudn't be too long of a night.

In the morning, Light was the second person to wake up. He noticed Wedy was gone, but L was out cold. Light spent a few moments staring at L, recalling that it was rare to see L sleeping so soundly, before deciding to get up and make breakfast.

He pressed a kiss to L's forehead and carefully got out of bed to perform his morning routine.

After a quick shower, he headed downstairs only to see Wedy in the kitchen, making pancakes in nothing but her bra and underwear.

Light flushed. "Wedy!"

She turned to him and smiled. "Good morning Light!" She pointed to the steadily growing batch of mixed pancakes on the counter. "I'm making pancakes, any requests?"

Light looked to the side, avoiding looking at her body. "Please put some clothes on before L sees you and throws a fit."

Wedy laughed. "You're too cute."

Light fiddled with his own shirt. "It's cold out."

"You precious boy, I can see why L likes you so much." Wedy turned around and went back to making another pancake.

Light took off his shirt and held it out to her. "Please, at least wear this."

She looked at him with a smirk. "Alright, if you insist." She put on his shirt and he sighed when he saw that it went down to her mid thighs.

"I'll help you, want some eggs and bacon? I told L to buy more breakfast food because strawberry shortcake doesn't count," Light said as he opened the fridge and started taking out the eggs.

"Sure. What kind of pancakes does Matt like?"

"He likes all of them but as of last week he's into strawberry pancakes," Light replied, getting the bacon out.

Wedy nudged him to the side and dug around in the fridge searching for some strawberries. "You're a good person, Light."

She pulled a box of strawberries out, setting them on the counter beside the fridge. She stood in front of Light and put her hands on his cheeks. He stopped and stared at her, a faint red appearing on his face. She kind of left-fielded him just now.

"T-thank you."

Wedy smiled. "I'm glad L found you." She stood on her tiptoes and gently pulled Light's head down a bit so she could press a kiss to his forehead. "Thank you for making them happy." She grinned when Light smiled at her.

Someone cleared their throat.

The two turned to face L who looked very unimpressed. It seemed to be his default expression around Wedy. He eyed her, noticing that Light was shirtless and she was wearing his shirt. And a quick glance confirmed she was hardly wearing anything underneath. Light smiled at him, a radiant grin that softened L's gaze.

"Good morning, L."

Wedy smirked beside him, letting go of his face and patting his butt lightly, going back to the pancakes. "Chill, L, I'm not here to steal your man."

L sniffed. "I would turn you in in a heartbeat."

"Oh L, you wound me."

Light walked over to him and pecked him on the cheek. "We're making breakfast, you should go get the boys."

"And leave you here with her?"

"L," Light frowned.

Wedy cackled. "Oh is this where I suggest a threesome?"

L glared at her. Light stood in between them with a disarming smile. "You know what I'll go get the boys."

He walked out of the kitchen, hoping the two wouldn't let the breakfast burn.

Once Light was out of earshot, Wedy turned to face L.

"He's a good guy, I can see why you like him."

"Yes."

"I'm not gonna take him from you. Besides, I'm swinging a bit more for the soft skin, pouty lips and perfect breasts right now."

L raised a brow. "I did not know that."

"I have a lot of fun on my travels." She winked at him.

L hummed, heading to his coffee maker. "I am glad you are happy."

Wedy sighed. "I do wonder what it would have been like if I'd stayed, but I'm happy things are working out for everyone." She finished the strawberry pancake and went to start the eggs and bacon until Light came back.

L nodded. "Yes. In another life, maybe."

"Well, this kind of talk is too heavy this early in the morning. Pass me a beer."

L obliged. "Will you be visiting more often?"

"Nah, you know me, a wanderer."

"You are still always welcome here."

She smiled at him. "Thanks L."

At that point, Light came in, smiling and staring at his phone. "Guys look, they're adorable." He showed them his phone and on it, a picture of the three boys sleeping in the fort, though the pillow fort had mostly fallen around them by now. Matt was in the middle with Near and Mello curled up on either side of him. "I'm gonna set this as my background."

"That scene looks familiar." L commented as Light changed his phone wallpaper. He and Wedy exchanged glances without Light noticing.

She laughed. "Oh this family is gonna be a blast when they grow up."

"Hm?" Light asked, not having paid attention as he kept staring at the picture with a fond smile. They could hear the boys slowly started to descend the stairs for breakfast.

"Nothing," Wedy and L replied with a smile.

So long as all went well, this family would turn out to be a happy one.

Maybe Wedy would visit more often to see how it was going.

"I smell pancakes!" Mello hollered halfway down the stairs.

He and Near tried elbowing each other out of the way to get into the kitchen first. Matt moved to the side to avoid them and walked inside with a grin.

Light went back to helping Wedy with breakfast and eventually, the six of them ate together, smiling and happy throughout.

Matt watched everyone with a smile. He liked this family. He hoped it lasted.
