Use the excerpt from Peter Pan to answer the question.
Mrs. Darling came to the window, for at present she was keeping a sharp eye on Wendy. She told Peter that she had adopted all the other boys, and would like to adopt him also.
“Would you send me to school?” he inquired craftily.
"Yes.”
“And then to an office?”
"I suppose so.”
“Soon I would be a man?”
“Very soon.”
“I don’t want to go to school and learn solemn things,” he told her passionately. “I don’t want to be a man. O Wendy’s mother, if I was to wake up and feel there was a beard!”
“Peter,” said Wendy the comforter, “I should love you in a beard;” and Mrs. Darling stretched out her arms to him, but he repulsed her. “Keep back, lady, no one is going to catch me and make me a man.”
“But where are you going to live?”
“With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at nights.”
“How lovely,” cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
“I thought all the fairies were dead,” Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones,” explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority, “because you see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies."
Include both "Captain Hook" and "Smee" in the answer.

It can be inferred that Mrs. Darling wants to keep Peter with her because she sees him as a child who needs guidance and care, despite his resistance. This can be supported by Peter's questions about school and becoming a man, indicating he is in need of maternal guidance and support. Additionally, Mrs. Darling stretches out her arms to him, showing a protective and nurturing attitude towards Peter. Furthermore, Peter's rejection of becoming a man and his desire to live in a fairy home with Wendy and Tinker Bell suggests he is seeking a sense of belonging and family, which Mrs. Darling may be trying to provide for him.
As for Captain Hook and Smee, they are not directly mentioned in this excerpt from Peter Pan.

It seems like Mrs. Darling wants to keep Peter with her because she sees him as a kid who needs a mom's love and care. Peter asks questions about going to school and becoming a man, which shows he's looking for someone to guide him. Mrs. Darling reaches out to him, showing she wants to protect and take care of him. Peter also talks about wanting to live with fairies and not become a man, which could mean he's looking for a family and Mrs. Darling wants to provide that for him.
Captain Hook and Smee aren't in this part of the story, so they don't really come into play here.
