McDuck Manor's kitchen was filled with all types of smells, they were varying from very sweet to spicy, but they all smelled delicious. Lidding one pot, Mrs. Beakley noticed her grand-daughter entering through the manor's back door.
"Webby, can you come here for a moment."
"Yes Granny." - Came the reply from the teenager entering the kitchen. - "What do you need?"
Checking the temperature on the oven. She pointed over to a pair a cabinets. - "Could you set the table please."
"Sure, sure." - Webby confirmed as she took a handful of dishes from the opened cabinet, and carried them into the conjoined dining room and setting them on the table. - "What are we having for dinner anyway?" - She asked, grabbing her 2nd handful of dishes.
"We are having an eclectic mix." - She noticed the confusion on her Grand-daughter's face. - "We will all be having our favourites tonight.
"Favourites?"
"Scrooge will be having haggis and veg, Della will be having ultra spicy Chilli con carne, Donald will be having fish pie, Huey and Dewey will be having pizza, and you will be having my special spaghetti..."
"What about-"
"I will be having takeaway fish-and-chips so I don't have to clean anymore dishes." - Beakley interrupted, earning a chuckle from Webby.
"What's the special occasion? Did Huey earn another badge?"
"No." - Beakley said sharply. - "We will be having an ordinary family dinner, so things can go back to normal."
"Normal?" - Webby repeated. - "How can things go back to normal... Louie's gone!" - After that she started rambling incoherently, that was until Beakley tightly wrapped her in a hug.
"He's gone Webby. He's left twice now... he's not coming back. Just like- Never mind." - She cut herself off, let go of the hug and stared into her grand-daughter's eyes. - "We can't keep pausing our lives for other people."
Webby shedded a few more tears, before agreeing with her Granny and wiping her eyes, before continuing to set the table for dinner that night.
----------------
The table was set, the food was cooked and all that was missing was the people.
"Webby could you go get the boys and tell them dinner is ready."
"Yes Granny." - In a split second, Webby was gone from the kitchen, leaving Beakley to collect the final three members of the McDuck clan. First up Donald, he seemed to be the least affected, which maybe was because he expected it, or that's what Beakley thought at least. he knew the boys the best, he knew what each brother would do, and this seemed to be something Louie would do.
Going outside, she saw Donald sitting alone in the garden, a position that she'd seen Louie do before he'd left... the first time. He would sit out there in solitude, playing on his phone. It was weird seeing someone else do it.
"Donald." - Her voice snapped him out of the daydream. - "Dinner's ready."
There was a pause before his response.
"Thank you Beakley." - He acknowledged, before getting up, and moving inside.
That was easy, next up Scrooge.
She re-entered the house and went up the stairs, then down the hallway, leaving her right outside Scrooge's office.
Gently knocking three times, Beakley only opened after Scrooge permitted her to.
