A Few Hours Ago

Della got out of her car and went into her apartment.

"Dew Drop I'm home early, they didn't need me for the business trip."

She didn't hear anything.

"Dewey? You here?"

She was looking around her apartment in her room, Dewey's room, the bathroom, the living room, the kitchen… and that's it it was a small apartment.

"Oh no no no!" She was saying in a panic.

She got her keys and hopped into her car and drove around Duckburg for an hour and she saw Dewey and 3 other kids outside of McDuck Manor.

"Oh no does he know?"

She stops in front of the Manor and rolls down her window.

"Oh no." Dewey said.

"Dewey!" she said angrily getting out of her car.

"What are you doing here?!" she asked

"I-I should ask you the same thing, why aren't you on your work trip?" Dewey responded.

"They didn't need me, why are you with 3 kids outside of Mr. McDucks Manor?" she asked angrily.

"Me and my friends, yeah you never asked these are my friends, were gonna go camping to get to know each other, but we heard a bear and ran and stopped at Huey's house." Dewey replied.

"Wait… which one is Huey?"

"Hello Mrs. Duck… I'm Huey." he said as he stuck his hand out for a hand shake.

She didn't shake his hand but she did ask him a question.

"Are you adopted?" 

"MOM!" Dewey yelled back.

"No Dew she's curious and yes Mrs. Duck I was adopted, my real name is Hubert and I was adopted a few years ago."

"H-Hubert?" she said, starting to tear up and she put her hands on his head.

"Y-yes?" he replied questionably as a door busted open from the mansion.

"What in dismal domes is going on ou-" Scrooge said before he stopped and said

"D-Della lass?"

"Uncle Scrooge." Della responded.

"Uncle Scrooge? Mom what's going on?" Dewey asked.

"Kids let's go inside and I'll explain it all."

When they entered there was an older female duck dressed in purple.

"Mr. McDuck what's going on?" she asked.

"There's some guests, will you get some water please." as she left Dewey and Louie were looking around.

"Wow Hue, this place is huge." Dewey said.

"Yeah I know." Huey said back.

They all sat on the couch and Della sat down on a chair in front of the couch.

"Okay Dewey, Hubert I have to tell you something." Della took a deep breath, "You two are brothers."

"WHAT!" they both said at the same time.

"Me and Huey and brothers and I'm related to my idle Scrooge McDuck?!" Dewey said "and you never told me?"

"Honey, im sorry, the reason I haven't told you is beca-"

"Because we had a big fight." Scrooge cut her off "the day you two were born."

"Actually" Della said "there were 3 kids."

"I HAVE TWO BROTHERS!" Dewey said angrily "AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME ANY OF THIS."

"Well honey… I was waiting for the perfect time-"

"PERFECT TIME, YOU MEAN NEVER!"

"Lass, let your mother finish." Scrooge interrupted.

"Fine." Dewey said, still mad.

"The reason I told you you're my only child is because I set the other two up for adoption because I was t-too poor to take care of all 3 of you."

"Too poor, you're related to the richest duck in the world!" Huey intervened.

"We had a fight before you 3 were born-"

"That's right three do you even know where the third one is, do you remember his name?" Dewey said.

"I don't know where he is" she said crying "but his name was Llewellyn."

Huey and Dewey gasped and looked at Louie.

"L-Louie, weren't you given up for adoption?" Huey asked.

"W-wait, you're my mom?" Louie asked.

"L-Llewellyn?" she asked him.

"My mom is alive?" he asked starting to cry and get mad 

"YOU WERE ALIVE THIS WHOLE TIME?!" he said furiously.

"Lad calm down." Scrooge said.

"NO I'M NOT CALMING DOWN," Louie yelled angrily as he stood up 

"NOT ONLY WAS I GIVEN UP FOR ADOPTION, NOT ONLY WAS I IN THE SAME CITY AS MY MOM BUT ALSO MY RICH UNCLE AND ONLY A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM ME!"

"Llewellyn please calm-" Della said.

"NO I WON'T, I HAD 8 YEARS OF HELL I WAS BEATEN AND MENTALLY BROKEN AND JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE TAKEN IN BY A NICE OFFICER ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO STUBBORN TO ASK YOUR RICH FAMILY MEMBER FOR MONEY."

"Llewellyn I-I-"

"Don't even try to talk to me." Louie cut her off running out the door.

"Louie Wait!" Dewey and Huey said following him. Della sat back down and started to cry harder while Scrooge wrapped his arm around his niece.

Louie ran all the way back to his house and slammed the door open.

"MOM, MOM!" he was yelling when Ms. Cabrera and Fenton rushed out as fast as they could and Louie ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"Lou Lou what happened?" she asked when she saw Huey and Dewey run up to the door.

"Fenton hold onto Lou Lou." she said as Louie hugged Fenton.

"WHAT DID YOU TWO DO TO MY SON!" she said angrily at them.

"No Ms. Cabrera." Dewey said gasping for air.

"He found out his… family was… alive and lived… in Duckburg and was… related to me and Scrooge McDuck." Huey said, finishing Dewey's sentence.

"Lou Lou… is related to the richest duck in Duckburg… and was dropped off to a family of monsters?" she said angered and sad.

"And it… turns out me... Huey and Louie are… brothers." Dewey said.

"Lou Lou-" Ms. Cabrera said as she turned around to see him hugging Fenton.

"You'll have to go to them-". 

"B-but mom, you-you and Fenton a-are my f-f-f-family."

Him saying that made it harder for Ms. Cabrera.

"Lou Lou, I'm sorry but-" she started crying "They're your real family."

"We could drive you there and try to talk it out." Fenton said hugging Louie.

"S-sure we could t-try" Louie said, wiping his eyes.

Ms. Cabrera, Fenton, Huey, Dewey, and Louie got into her car and drove to the mansion. They got out of the car and knocked on the mansion door.

"Hello?" Scrooge answered and saw Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

"What did they do?"

"No, they did nothing, I just heard their family is here." 

"Yes, I'm their great uncle." 

"Um, Mr. McDuck c-can mom-Ms.-Ms. Cabrera come in and talk to Della?" Louie asked.

"Oh, sure lad." Scrooge brought them in and sat them on the couch.
