[The gift was a labor of love. Something pulled together by Peter's determined want to ensure Rue had a good gift, felt appreciated.]

I love you, you're my mom. I want you to have a great gift for Mother's Day.

Does it fit okay?

[ruevealing]

I can not believe my life has been blessed with such darling children who think of me as their mother.

Yes, of course, my love, it is perfect. Beyond perfect. Thank you.

[heyunderoos]

You have a really big heart, so, you're probably going to end up with more kids as time goes on Rue. They're all going to love you just as much.

I'm really glad. I figured you deserved something kind of showy and dramatic.

[ruevealing]

Well, no matter how many children I end up taking beneath my wing, none can replace the perfect family that I have right now. And you are forever a piece of that, Peter.

I'm so very honored to be your mother. Every single time that you call me mom, I know what true happiness feels like.

And thank you. I suppose I do lend to the dramatics at times. You know my taste so perfectly. :)

[heyunderoos]

[He's not crying!!! You're crying!!

ok, maybe they are both crying.]
Thank you, I... really needed to hear that.

You deserve some dramatic swooshing into the room sometimes.

[ruevealing]

[sometimes a mother and a son just need to sob a little together]

Just as I needed this perfect reminder of how much I meant to you. It truly means so much to me.

Shall we spend the afternoon together? If you have the time. :)

[heyunderoos]

Yeah, I'd really like that.

Do you want me to come by the shop or the cottage...?

[ruevealing]

The shop, so then you don't have to make the trip out to see me at home.

[heyunderoos]

Okay, I'll see you in five minutes then?

[He wants to be sure he isn't interrupting whatever Rue has going on at the shop.]

[ruevealing]

[peter parker rue is going to come into your house and bully you into accepting how much they want to spend any time with him and making him take up space!!!!!!]

🦉❤️

[heyunderoos]

[Sorry, Rue, he's just a fool! A fool!

As promised he does show up within those five minutes. He still knocks on the shop door, waits a minute before coming inside. Progress was made at the cottage, but not at the store front.]

Hi, uh, I'm here?

[ruevealing]

[Their son is a fool!!!]

My darling, hello! Please - this is a business, Peter. No one knocks before entering. You simply enter.

[heyunderoos]

Knocking still felt polite for this situation. What if someone came in wanting to talk or something? [He will be old and grey and continue to idly argue with Rue about knocking.

He walks over to Rue, smiling at them a little. He reaches out to hug them. There is no warning, just hug.]

[ruevealing]

[oh. ignore them if they just get a little emotional at that hug before squeezing Peter back.]

You know, you are someone wanting to come in to talk too, Peter Parker.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter is 6'5 certainly isn't taller than Rue, but he isn't small enough to completely tuck under their wing anymore. He smiles up at Rue.]

I'm just saying, you probably have a million billion clients you're giving stuff away to.

[He is not unaware of Rue just giving things away when they think no one is looking.]

[ruevealing]

[sweats]

Don't tell Donatello. He will roast me alive!

[It's also borderline homophobic that Peter is getting so tall. Just a few months ago, he fit perfectly under their wing, but look at him now! Their giant boy.]

[heyunderoos]

Mom, I hate to tell you this, but he's going to figure it out eventually if he does the math on inventory and orders. Depending on how you guys handle that. [Peter isn't gonna say anything, just let it be.

Blame Thirteen for making their boy tall. He was perfectly portable before all of this.]

[ruevealing]

[blink. blink. hm.]

Oh dear. I'm quite doomed, aren't I?

[heyunderoos]

Maaaaybe a little. [Peter offers back with a loose kind of shrug.] We'll see how it goes. I think he'll get over it pretty fast though?

[ruevealing]

Maybe yes, maybe no. Either way, it is my own fault, I will own up to it!

[And Donnie will hopefully accept a few head kisses in exchange for their bad business sense.]

So many people struggle to save Lore in the beginning and I hardly want them to go without clothing, when there are more much important expenses as they arrive.

[heyunderoos]

You're at least ready for whenever Donnie finds out. [Peter will just stay out of that eventual issue directly.]

You could maybe make a few outfits ahead of time in some general sizes for people to take for free when they first arrive...? Like packaged for them to take but still cool looking? Set those aside or something? [He offers back, trying to find a middle ground to keep Donnie mildly off Rue's back.]

[ruevealing]

[He's sweet to try, but Rue is ready to face the execution squad that is their meanest son.]

Like a little care package? Oh, how darling. I do love that idea, it could be very cute!

[heyunderoos]

[At least their meanest son can be distracted with technology and fancy clothes. So Rue can live another day.]

Yeah, something like that! You could probably advertise in your window you have that for new arrivals. Or at least have a few ready for whenever Thirteen decides new people are coming in.
