First day at work

Barnabas woke up early in morning to hunt before long day ahead with no where to go, he found that Angelique was up already as well.
He sit up on their large bed and rubbed his eyes, pulling his morning jacket on before he walked to the door. His witchy wife was nowhere to be seen and he didn't want to wake up his children yet.
"Good morning" He heard Angelique's purring voice whispering to his ear and soon she wrapped her arms around him.
"Hm.. Morning. Why are you up so early? I woke up and you were not beside me. You know how I dislike awaking like that."
He felt her lips press against the skin of his neck, "I'm sorry my love.. I promise I'll make it up to you."
Barnabas turned around, loosely wrapping his arms around her middle.
"You did not answer the question."
Angelique sighed, "I have to get started with Angel Bay."
Barnabas raised his eyebrows, "Why can I not help you with it? You would not need to awake three a clock in morning to go do everything by yourself."
"Barnabas if you're going to keep me another lecture of your family's honor, you know I will only make you see how miserable Collins family is."
"You are a Collins, Angelique. You should value the name as well."
Angelique rolled her eyes, "I will see if there is something you could do." She leaned to kiss him and pulled back, "I already killed few rabbits so you and children will get breakfast. I will come home as soon as I get business started with."
Barnabas sighed heavily, looking down. "Thank you.. " He turned to go back to bedroom to continue sleeping, but he didn't make it far when he felt Angelique taking hold of his wrist.
He tried to hide his smirk of his successful try to make Angelique feel like she needed to do something to make him happy again.
"Is there something else I must remember?" He asked.
"No." Angelique shake her head and turned him to face her. "What if you'll just come with me to work? We can take children to back room of my office and they can play there."
Barnabas looked surprised, he had not dared to imagine Angelique would warm up to his will to work as well so soon.
"We would... Work together?" He asked.
Angelique smiled a bit, "Only if you promise to work by my rules."
Barnabas rubbed the back of his neck, "I have become rather familiar with your rules, it should not be a problem."
"Good. then you go awake the children and give them their blood while having your own, and I'll make carriage ready to take us there."
Barnabas nodded, "We shall be there soon."
 Angelique looked after him for while before she go out to get horses and carriages.
"Poor, sweet Barnabas... Believe everything so easily.." She thought aloud while getting carriages ready.
Soon enough her sleepy children came out with their father who had dressed up so well she couldn't help but smile.
"Hello handsome."She smiled and kissed Barnabas.
He smiled, looking at her rather simple but pretty dress that showed her natural curves better than many other dresses in that time did.
"You do look lovely as well."
Angelique laughed and got into carriages with her family, "Once Angel Bay starts working daily, we will gain the wealth more than Collins family business ever did."
Barnabas looked at her, narrowing his eyes, "Right now, Angel Bay will be family business as well. I consider it as we only change the name and few technical things. Job is practically the same."
Angelique didn't have a heart to tell him that Angel Bay will never work under Collins name, but only her own. She did had in mind to offer job for Barnabas to help her with paper works and to train the workers, but she didn't have any intention to make him one of the owners.
  When they got to the place, Barnabas got out of the carriages and looked shocked to see that huge, red building was already there and Collins cannery was burned.
"What on earth is this?!"
Angelique got out and go open the door to Angel Bay. "It's new beginning my love."
Barnabas kept staring at destroyed Collins cannery. "But.. Our family's hard work.. It's all gone.."
"This is new place to work hard, come along." Angelique said pulling him with her.
"When this was build?" He asked.
"I started building when I killed your parents. I ordered them to build new cannery in name of your parents will to make business larger. Well, when they died, it became useless for Collins business so I took it. And that burned little cannery you used to call work place, was destroyed by villagers when you came out to be a monster."
 "Your cruelty known no boundaries." Barnabas muttered.
"Everything is allowed in love and war." Angelique smiled sweetly. "There will soon come many people for interview to get a job. You help me choose best workers in town. And if you happen to find someone suitable for servant to Collinwood.. By all means."
Barnabas nodded just slightly to express his understatement.
"Children, you go there and entertain each other. If you need us, then call for us."
"Alright mother." Children mumbled one after another, going to back room.
Angelique looked at Barnabas, "My sweet darling, don't be so down. We are working together now."
Barnabas nodded again, "My parents.. Died for nothing."
"They died for your sake. Now Focus. We have job to do."
Barnabas looked at her, "Why won't you bring them back? For me. I swear I won't be such coward to hide us. I cannot! We have children! I would make them accept us."
Angelique folded her arms to her chest, looking at him sharply.
"Please?" He tried one last time.
"No."
"Angel, our children need their grandparents. My parents would love them."
Angelique laughed, "Of course, they'd be thrilled to have three monsters as their grandchildren."
"Please, I would make them understand."
Angelique rolled her eyes, "I will think about it, but I don't promise anything yet."
Barnabas smiled a bit, "I will make it worth it."
Angelique raised eyebrow but said nothing, sitting down next to him and took some papers, giving half of them to Barnabas.
        After good four hours, they had gathered many young, strong man to work for Angel Bay and the cannery started working during the same day.
"You certainly did not waste time." Barnabas admitted, watching people working.
"Time is money, and long time is a lot of money." Angelique smiled and kissed him. "Come now my love, we have parent-duties to take care of. There's whole new day tomorrow."
"Can we just leave them?"
"Yes. They know what the price is if they fail." Angelique nodded and go get her children.
 Barnabas looked after her. She sure did know how to make people fear her.
She came to take hold of his arm and pulled him with her, opening the door to back room just a little so they saw how their children played together.
"Aren't they adorable?" She whispered.
Barnabas smiled, "Indeed they are. Our perfect little ones."
They watched their children play for while until Angelique cleared her throat to get their attention.
"It's time to go home."
Their children followed them out of the cannery, complaining hunger.
"We will have dinner when we get home."
"There is only couple servants left." Barnabas said.
"So? I gave them orders this morning." Angelique said.
"When?!"
"While you were still sleeping."
Barnabas saw it best not to ask more. He had learned to accept that Angelique was able to get many things done at once. Perhaps it was the benefit of her witchcraft.
