She was smiling, her sight looking to where she knew was the window. She could no longer physically see, her sight hadn't served her ever since her very first connection to the Center of the Web. But she had a better pair of eyes, one that allowed her to keep on seeing in another way. And it helped her a lot in controlling the three rascals that she had as daughters. It made her smile wider, knowing that the trio of girls were arriving home very soon. She glanced back, her eyes covered by black sunglasses while she waited patiently for her daughters to enter their house.

"Mom! Why do I still have to look for the mail in the mailbox?" She could hear the words of her eldest, Samantha Parker-Webb, which were accompanied by a soft laughter from her and her two sisters. She kept on smiling, her powers letting her know that something was about to fall and shatter. She immediately looked to the vase, one that belonged to her love's aunt who had sadly departed from the land of the living. She quickly used the web-shooter that had been given to her for self-defense and saved the vase from falling.

"Be careful, girls. You know just how much this means to your father" She reprimanded softly, a smile still on her face as she moved her wheelchair slowly to the nearest table to place the vase in place once more. She could feel the stare from the guilty party, her youngest daughter, chuckling sheepishly. She loved all of her three daughters dearly, but she rue the day that they got more of their father's personality than her own. It was slowly driving her insane, but she wouldn't have it any other way. "And we all know what happens when your father's mad, right?"

"I'm sorry, mother... I'll try to be more vigilant from now on" She could see the fear in all three of her daughters, her powers showing her the pale expressions that all three had at the moment. She knew that her daughters have been fortunate to not yet have seen their father being angry yet. But unfortunately for the trio, they have a weaker yet similar power to her own. Her thoughts were interrupted when the last of the sisters decided to speak.

"Speak for yourself, Clover. You are the only one that still stumbles around the house" She had to hand it to her daughter, that was very much true. But she loved her little Clover either way. She was a bit clumsy at times, but her heart was in the right place. She could see once more, her powers showing her the interior of the living room, just how Clover was glaring at her older sister. She could only wish that the man that made her believe in love once more would come back soon to calm things down.

"Go to hell, Alex! All I see you doing around the house is eating all day!" She rolled her eyes behind her glasses, her ears detecting the sharpest of gasps that escaped from Alexandra Parker-Webb. She really loved her family, but her girls were really trying to make her go gray again. It came to a shock when she saw Samantha try to detain Alex from approaching Clover, who had mocked her sister back.

"A-And that is why we brought takeout!" Samantha tried to change the topic as fast as she could, and she noticed that almost immediately. She was grateful for her eldest, the one that was the most similar to her. Yet even she shows her prankster and comedic side more often than not. But she was glad that she was trying to be as responsible as possible at the moment. It was then that her powers detected something else, her head moving towards Clover.

"Bless you, sweety" Her daughter looked at her confused, a brow rising almost immediately. Knowing that most impulses were very hard to control, the youngest of the three sisters immediately covered her mouth with her forearm to sneeze. She smiled at her daughter, who could only mutter a slight thanks to her. She loved seeing her embarrassed, especially when her very own powers were not warning her. It was always a sight to see.

"So, we brought-"

"The chicken sandwich is more than fine, Sam. Thank you for thinking about us" She interrupted her daughter, who only nodded back at her. Her hand immediately rose, her fingers already pushing the mechanism that liberated the webs. The thread immediately made contact with Alex's hand, who had tried to grab the food from the bags. "No eating until your father comes home, Alex. You know that"

"But, mom!" She whined, and that only made her enjoy the moment even more. She knew just how gluttonous Alex was, yet she maintained a body that most people would envy for. She knew that it was because of the high metabolism that all three of them had inherited from their father, but Alex really wanted to take full advantage of it. But even in the chaos that was her house, she loved every second of it. And it was all because she had those she cared for near her.

"Girls! I'm home!" A male voice could be heard from the front door, which only made Alex smirk right at her. She could only make a small chuckle before releasing the pressure she was making with her webs and allow Alex to start eating her food. She was surprised by the appearance of her lover at the house. While her powers had already made her aware that he was arriving soon, it was earlier than other days. But she didn't care at the moment just why he had arrived at their home a bit early. She was just happy to see Peter Parker, the man that had given her a chance in rectifying her mistakes, back where he belongs. With her and their daughters, who immediately greeted their father with all the love they could muster.
