"Am I in trouble?"Louie asked.

"No"Scrooge answered while Dewey and Huey called their mother's so they can sort things out.

"Am...I in trouble?"Webby asked.

"No!"Donald answered.

"Then what the heck is going on?"Louie asked.

"All will be explained soon enough"Scrooge says.

"It's always dramatic with you"Louie sighed.

Huey and Dewey finally sat back down at the table in uncomfortable silence, then Della knocked on the door, webby let her in, "Dewey honey, are you alright?!"She asked running to him and hugging him "I'm fine mom"Dewey said.

"Uncle Scrooge what happened?"Della asked nervously.

"You know Louie's uncle?"Dewey asked.

Louie? Della looked at the two other boys, knowing eminently who they were, she looked at Scrooge who just nodded, "You should sit down"Della said, he did so.

Mrs Beakley heard Della slam the door on her way in and rushed downstairs "What in the world is going on?"She asked.

"You might want to stay for this one"Scrooge said.

Margret without knocking ran in at full speed hugging Huey "Huebert what happened? Are you hurt? What did they do to you? Did you pick up a parasite? A desease? Will I need your asthma inhaler?"She started digging through her purse.

"Mom for the last time I don't have Asthma"Huey said quietly.

"You don't know that!"She said.

"Can we focus Please?"Louie asked "Who are these weirdos?"

"That's the kind of manors you teach your kid?"Margret asked smugly.

"At least I didn't raise him to be a pansy!"Scrooge said.

"How dare you?"Margret asked while the five of them continued bickering, "Why are our parents fighting?"Huey asked.

"I don't know...but my money's on uncle Donald and Scrooge"Louie laughed.

"Excuse me?!"Dewey yelled, "I'm sorry but can someone please explain exactly what Is going on?"He asked.

Della looked at Scrooge "Boys...I'm ...your...Mother"Della said softly.

"What?"Louie asked.

"A long time ago I couldn't afford to keep all three of you...I was working as a maid for Mrs saxony"She explained.

"Mom?"Huey asked.

Margret started to tear up,"You have no idea how much I wanted a child Hubert, She had three"She said.

"So we made a deal and I gave her huey"Della said.

"So you lied to me?"Huey asked.

"Of course not dear"Margret said.

"I asked you if I was adopted you said no"He shouted back.

"Technically you're not!"Margret said.

Della stepped in "Huey it's not as bad as it sounds"she said.

"You gave me up just like that?"He asked.

"Well I offered money, she wouldn't take it"Margret said.

"So I'm not adopted, just bought and paid for? Fantastic!"Huey ran out the door, he couldn't take this anymore.

"Huey wait!"Mrs saxony yelled.

Dewey shook his head "How could you?"He asked walking out the door too.

Louie was still confused "And me?"

Della sighed "You were sick, Margret put a curse on you that if you were separated you couldn't get back together"She explained as best as she could.

"So Scrooge was right"Louie said "You're psychotic!"

"Watch your tone!"Della said.

"You can't tell me what to do, you gave me up!"

Scrooge sighed "Louie"

"Ok See? He can tell me what to do but you can't!"Louie ran upstairs and slammed the door.

Della looked at Margret "This is all your fault"She said.

"You were the one dumb enough to believe I cursed your kids!"

"Donald how could you?"Della asked.

"Dewey has nobody in the world Della! He needed to know!"

"He had me!"She said.

"Yeah and clearly that's enough right?"He asked, Della left slamming the door behind her, Margret left not long after.

Webby and Mrs Beakley were stunned, not sure what to do, Scrooge sighed and walked upstairs to Louie's room and knocked on the door "Lad? can we please talk about this?"He asked, there was no answer, he soon just gave up, decided that if Louie wanted to talk he'd come to him.

Magret waited at home for Huey to come back, she knew him, she knew he couldn't stay away forever, he loved his family for some reason, it was getting really late but huey finally walked inside "Hubert thank Walt!"She hugged him "I was so worried"

"Mom- I mean whoever you are, just please stop"He said.

Mr saxony walked in "Where have you been?"

"Huebert"She said shocked.

"Why didn't you just tell me the truth?"He asked "I would've understood!"He raised his voice.

"What are you talking about?"His father asked.

"What? She didn't tell you either?!"Huey raised his voice.

"Watch your tone"He warned.

"Your sister is sleeping"She whispered softly.

"Is she even my sister? Is she adopted?"

"Huebert knock it off, this is highly disrespectful and I will not tolerate it!"She said.

"You will treat her with the proper respect you hear me?"

"Or what? You'll give me back? Get refund from Della?"He stomped upstairs locking himself in his room.

Dewey was on the roof, thinking about what happened, he really wanted to talk to Louie and Huey about it but he couldn't, they were just as stressed and wanted to be alone, he wasn't mad at Della, not really, he just wished she told him sooner.

"Dewey?"Della climbed up with him "I brought pizza"She said.

"I'm not mad at you, I just wish you told me before now"He said.

"I'm really sorry dew- I just didn't know how to break it to you"She continued.

Dewey interrupted"It's fine mom, really, I understand..."

"Really?"She asked.

"No, not really but I respect whatever decision you make."

"Dewey-"

"I have work tomorrow so I'll see you later"He said climbing down back into his room.

Della sighed, she knew she could've handled this better.
