Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20180724200235/@comment-27303410-20180804150125

I walk up to the Arachne smile. "Hello miss, I'm the manager of this store I need you to please come with me." She cocks her head in confusion so I extend my hand out to her to get her to follow me. "I won't hurt you I promise." She takes my hand and I lead her back to my office and gesture for her to take a seat on the couch which she does. "So I have to ask what were you doing in that crate of Bananas?"

"I was told my sister came here the same way and wanted to meet her and her new family." She states, that when I look up and see the resemblance. "Is something the matter?"

"No not at all, I actually know your sister, she's married to the owner of the company." I reach into my desk and pull out a picture of the company picnic and show it to her. "See there she is clinging to him." The photo itself is just a simple regular picture of everyone. "Hold on we also took a gag photo too." I take that one out and show it to her and everyone is doing a silly or fun pose, her sister is hanging from a tree and looks like she's pouncing on her husband while he pretending to be scared. "We like to have fun here."

"I'm happy she doing well for herself, do they have any kids?"

"Yeah, they do three of them."

"I'm an aunt, amazing I know she's been sending me postcards, pictures, and letters but I really wanted to surprise her myself."

"Then hold on for one second." She looks at me puzzled for a second as I grab the phone and make a call, after a few minutes of talking on the phone I smile after saying my goodbyes and hang up. "Well, I got some bad news."

"What is it?" She starts getting nervous when I tell her that.

"Your sister is already here which is good news the bad news is that her kids heard me over the phone mention you and are about to come crashing through that to tackle you and ask you a bunch of questions."

"I love kids but I can see how that might be bad news." She quickly gets off the couch and spins some webs to places them in front of the door like a net. "I'm going to enjoy this." Just as she finishes the door bursts open with three little Arachne impacting into the net and get pulled up into it. "Got ya."

"Nice trick, those three are always a handful even with their parents around."

"You don't have to remind us about, they're kids and they're hyperactive at the worst times." I look at the door and see Louise walk in. "It has been a while, nice to say hi once in a while." She looks up in the corner of the room and spots her sister. "Nice to see you again Lara, it's been four years since we last talked seen each other."

"It has." She comes down from her hiding spot and hugs her sister. "We have so much catching up to do." While she's hugging her she quickly reels back. "Oh my god you got a fourth on the way?"

"You know how we are, I can't keep off of him." They both laugh at their own joke, while I just sit behind my desk, I reach into the mini-fridge I keep in my office and toss them some water. "Thanks needed that."

"It's what I do." I say to them and grab a water for myself. "So are you going to cut your kids down or let them tire themselves out up there?" I ask them.

Louise looks at her kids and sees them trying to break free and reach for their Aunt. "I'll let them tire themselves out, this is a good chance for me to take a break." She takes a seat on the couch sigh in relief. "Tryin to keep up with them all day is exhausting, I wish their brother was here."

"Oh, right you married Samson after his wife passed if I remember correctly where is your son by the way?"

"He had basketball practice, but enough about my private life, what about you I know you're still single aren't you?"

"Yeah and trying to raise a son of my own to boot, I had to leave him with my mom and Step-dad today." I tell her, we were so lost in our own world we forgot about Lara. "I'm so sorry about that Ms. Lara we got so caught up that we left you out of the conversation."

She shakes her head and smiles. "That's quite alright I was getting confused just listening to you two." She down more of her water and looks at me. "So...you're a single parent what happened to your wife?"

"She died from cancer, I really don't want to talk about it." I state holding back the tears, I soon feel a hand on my cheek, I look up and see Lara wiping away some of the tears.

"Listen if you need a shoulder to cry on they go ahead and let it out, I can tell just by looking at you've been putting on a brave face but even the strongest of people need to cry sometimes." She hugged me and with those words, it's like the dam in my heart broke and I just cried everything that kept bottled up until now. "There, there sometimes we all need to a good cry."

I retake my seat at my desk and feel like falling asleep. "I'm sorry you had to see that, but thank you, I feel like a great burden has been lifted off my shoulder." I tell them and can feel myself drifting off when I look back to my boss's wife and sister-in-law I see them lowering the kids who seem tuckered out.

"Louise I'm going to stay here and look after your manager, ok?"

"Yeah, you do that Lara, I need to get these three home." She smiles and goes to leave. "Don't do anything I won't." She smiles and walks out of the door with his kids.

Lara Lifts me out of my seat and places me on the couch to relax. "Go ahead and get some sleep." She shifts me to a position that allows me to use her as a pillow. "I'll take care of until you wake up." I can't really argue with that as I've already drifted off to slumberland.

About a three months later I'm sitting in my office filing away some paperwork when one of my employees come barging in again. "Sir, we have a problem can you or Lara please come down to the loading dock?"

We look at each other and smile. "You want to go or should I?"

"I'm taking care of our son at the moment, you'll have to go handle it." I sigh and get up, I stop next to her and kiss her on the cheek. "Stop you're making me blush, just for that when we get home today I biting you."

"Oh no what am I going to do, my beautiful wife is going to bite me." I kiss her on the lips this time and go to handle business, we've been getting a lot a Mamono using this strange shipping method, but I'm kind of glad that Lara showed up like she did despite how strange our meeting was.
