Thanks to the people who kept demanding an update. Please review.
"Honey, I'm home!" The woman yells as she enters the house/mansion. "I picked up the kids."
"Mother, Father may not be here. He may be at work." The Delightful Children told her.
"Oh," She seems sad and smiles at them. "Go upstairs and do your homework. After your done, you'll have an hour of free time, then dinner."
"Thank you Mother." They went upstairs. She looks at them in worry and when they were out of sight. She goes to the living room and sits down. She sighs heavily.
"Oh, Benny, I love them, but it's not the same." She pulls out her locket and opens it. It had a picture of Father and a baby. "Oh, junior. Life would've been so different if you didn't.." She becomes sad and keeps looking at it.
"Mother, we finished our homework!" The Delightful Children appeared looking so cheerful. She immediately closed it and smiles at the children. "Great job, do you want to watch T.V.? I think there is an invigorating documentary about World War II. Or you can read the biography of Richard Nixon?"
"Oh, the biography would be so delightful! After all we wouldn't want to rot our brains on television even if it is educational."
"Okay. I'll go get the book from the library. Help yourselves to celery and carrots. They're in the fridge. Also drink milk, it's good for you." She says to them and gets up.
She walks into the library which doubles as Father's study. She looks at the mess on his desk and shakes her head.
"Oh, honey. You must have missed me." She starts straightening some of the papers to separate piles. She then looks through the bookshelves and found the book. She takes and gets back to the children. They dutifully set the vegetables in front of them with their respective glasses of .
"Mother, is it possible, if it doesn't inconvenience you, to read it to us?"
She smiles at them. "Of course."
About an hour later...
"...then he went to China." She closed the book and turns to the Delightful Children as they became sad when she stopped reading.
"Mother, you were almost at the best part." They whined. "Can't you please keep going?"
She smiles at them. "I got to start dinner. You can read it for another.." She looks at the grandfather clock. "30 minutes and then go wash up."
"Okay, Mother!" They said happily. She goes to the kitchen and starts cooking.
...
"Dinner!" She called out as she set a bowl of steamed mixed vegetables on the table.
"Here, Mother." The Delightful Children came and sat on a large seat as one. She smiles at them.
She sits down and they hear the front door open.
"Stupid brats. Keep foiling my plans." Father grumbles to himself and heads toward the dining room and sees them.
"Hello, sweetie."
His eyes widen and he looks at her. "Ang-?"
"Yes, dear?" She smiles at him.
"I'm so happy, you're back. How was it being back at your father's? How is the general?" He asked.
"He still hates you, so do my brothers. It was alright. Mom sends her love and a death wish." She says, calmly to him. He smiles nervously and goes to her.
He kisses her on the head. "I love you."
"I do too." She kisses him on the cheek. "Now sit down, I made enough for everyone."
He sits down next to her and is so happy to see her home-cooking.
"So what'd guys eat, when I wasn't here?"
Father stops and looks very guilty. The Delightful Children looked away from her.
"..?" She raised her eyebrow.
"So are you going to work?"
She shrugs. "Dunno, you think Mr. Boss can handle me coming back? He's such a.." She looks at the children. "Suck up."
"Mother, what is it, that you do?" The Children asked her.
She smiled at them. "Oh I'm just person that everyone answers to. If I don't like something," She smiles widely and stops there.
"Ah, Children finish your dinner and do your chores. Your mother and I need to make up some the time."
10 minutes later...
The Children took all the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
"Sweetheart. I have something to tell you."
She raises her brow.
"When you were gone, I kind of filled in for you and let Mr. Boss um, how should I put this? Try to send the employees' daughters into space."
She stares at him and blinks. "Even his own daughter?"
"Of course not. He's not that evil. I'm just saying I may have caused some issues that you might have to address."
She gives him the stink eye. "Benny, do you want me to go back to my parents'?"
"No." He said sullen.
"Tell you what. If you can make amends with your brother, I will fix everything."
His eyes widen and then he pouted. "But I don't wanna."
"Okay." She stood up. "I'm leaving." She said determined.
"Okay! I'll try."
"Trying isn't good enough. For goodness' sake! We live across the street from them." She gestured. "At least invite them over for dinner one time and then you don't have to do anything more, okay?"
He sighed and looked at her. "Okay, I should also tell you. His child is part of that organization I told you about and he might not know, we're related."
She scratches her eyebrow. "Hmm."
She walks out of the mansion. Father follows, trying to stop her.
"What are you doing?" He asks, frantically. He tries to catch up with her. As she neared the house, he paled. "Angela! Don't!"
She rings the doorbell and Mr. Uno answered the door.
"Why hello, Mrs. Wigglestein." He greets.
"Hi, Monty. I told you, you can call me Angela. After all, we're family." She smiles at him. "So I was wondering if you and your family would like to come over sometime for dinner?"
"Oh, sure. Let me ask the wife." Mr. Uno went back in.'
"Dad, who's at the door?" Numbah 1 asks as he walks down the stairs and sees her. His eyes widened in shock. "DAD!" He ran to his kitchen and was pulling on his father's shirt as he walked back to them.
"The wife said she'd love to."
"Dad, he's evil, that means she's evil too." He ranted, frantically.
"Great!" Angela smiles. "How's tomorrow?"
"Perfect, we'll see you then!" He said jovially.
"What!" Numbah One is really confused. "What do you mean, Dad?"
"Oh, we'll be having dinner with the Wigglesteins, tomorrow. Tell your little friends you can't play with them."
"WHAT!"
She smiles at them. "Then I'll see you tomorrow, Monty. You too, Nigel."
She turned around and grabbed onto Father's hand. Crunching noise is heard and his face in agony and fear.
"Honey, are you sure you want to do this?" He asks, in pain.
"Yes, dear. I want our families to be nice with one another. Benny, you only have one brother and my brothers hate you so he's the only one."
"I know." He slightly whined. She kisses him.
"I love you." She said cutely. He took one look and gave up.
"I do too."
"Great, come home early tomorrow or else, okay?" She says to him, smiling.
"Yes, darling."
...
"Guys! I need every 2X4 surveillance technology we have. I have to eat with the Delightful Snobs from Down the Lane!"
"What!" The other 4 operatives shouted.
"My dad agreed to it, without knowing the danger! Okay here's the plan..."
