The Life and Times of Louie Duck - Book 1

Chapter 10 - "N,No No Dad. We can't!" - Garret

Webby made it to the plane without any problem without robots or Lacy, who was now pulling playfully at her hair, and giggling non stop.

"Mom! You're back!" Hope cried out. She ran up to her mother as she got closer to the plane and was about to hug her when she stopped short. "W,what's that?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at Lacy.

"Never mind that, get back on the plane." Webby ordered. She hustled Hope back inside with the baby screeching with laughter as they entered the mouth of the plane.

"W,Webby?" Gosayln asked. Webby looked over at her sister-in-law and saw that her eyes were bloodshot from crying.

She saw Dewey slumped over on one of the cots, groaning loudly, and Garret, he was just waking up from a nap. His wounds looked like they have been completely heeled with help from Gosalyn. After he yawned and stretched his eyes widen when he saw Webby.

"Mom!" He jumped up and rushed for her, but stopped short when he saw what Webby was holding."Who is that?" He asked, his heart pounding hard against his chest.

"Kids." Webby said, softly, "This is Lacy. She's," She paused as she tried to find the right words to describe her, so not to raise any panic with Hope and Garrett. She hadn't thought about how they'd react to this child before she agreed to be her caretaker.

She bit the bottom of her bill.

"Luca's sister." She said finally.

"N, No." Garrett stammered. He fell to the ground and started backing up as Webby took a concerned step towards him. "T, This can't be happening!" He wailed.

"Garret? What's gotten into you?" Webby asked.

Hope quickly darted out from behind her and went to comfort Garret as she helped him to his feet. Both of them stared at her like she had just told them that Santa wasn't welcome in Uncle Scrooge's mansion, again.

Dewey's groans gotten louder making all three snap out their heads towards him.

"H, He's getting worse!" Gosalyn wailed in panic.

Webby slowly walked up to her as the baby started to cry, again. Webby studied his bite mark, his veins around it had turned black, and he was shaking violently. How Louie was able to cope with Soran's bite, Webby will never know.

"What's wrong, Uncle Dewey?" Hope asked, in a tiny voice.

Webby looked down at the now redden faced Lacy then back at Dewey. She sighed deeply. She knew what had to happen, and she didn't like it, not one bit.

"Gosalyn," She whispered, as she got closer to her. Gosalyn looked at her with her eyes brimming with tears. "Do you trust me?" She asked. Gosalyn stared at her for a moment, then looked back at her husband before nodding slowly. "Then move aside, I know what Dewey needs..."

Gosalyn watched in horror as Webby knelt beside Dewey with the baby. The baby suddenly stopped crying and without hesitation grabbed the front of Dewey's shirt, and bit into his neck, almost at once Dewey's veins turned back to blue, and he stopped trembling, then opened his eyes.

"W,Webby?" He choked out when he saw her. "What -?" His eyes widen when he saw the child drinking his blood, again. He slammed himself against the wall, Webby quickly rushed to them in alarm just as the baby hit the wall.

Oddly though, she didn't cry, scream, or wail in pain for that matter as the child slowly let go of Dewey's neck. Gosalyn rushed to Dewey's side as he slowly got to his feet. Webby picked up little Lacy and cuddled her close. Lacy cooed and gurgled at her.

"Webby, what the hell?" Dewey choked out angrily at her. "Why is that thing here? When did you come back, and where the hell is L -."

He stopped and stared past her. Webby looked behind her and her heart sank when she saw Louie he was leaning against the mouth of the plane.
