A/N: Welcome to my series of Laura and Peter one-shots please review and let me know what kinds of stories you would like to see hope you guys enjoy!
"You could have told me we were having dinner at your aunts." Said Laura Kinney as she walked up the steps of her boyfriend's childhood home.
"I wanted your birthday dinner to be special Laura. Aunt May wanted to do something special for you. My aunt adores you Laura, first time she met you she told me you were a keeper." Replied her boyfriend Peter Parker.
Laura smiled and blushing a slight red at her boyfriend's comment. Laura loved that women May was very caring of Laura. She felt at home in the Parker household. After years of being a held captive and being turned into a weapon by The Facility. She finally had a family, people who loved her and cared about her.
When Peter opened the door the young couple was greeted with Aunt May and Logan in the living room. Logan sitting on the couch and Aunt May standing with a cake in her hands smiling at the two. "Peter! Laura! You're early, I was just about to put the cake on the table." The old woman smiled putting the cake down on the coffee table in front of Logan and hugged her nephew and his girlfriend.
"How ya feeling bub?" Logan asked as he shook Peter's hand in a tight grip as his aunt and Laura went into the kitchen.
"You know the same still taking pictures of myself. Jameson is still a pain in the ass. How's teaching treating you wolvie."
Logan growled and gave Peter a glare. "Same as it always is", Logan looked at Peter he could tell something was up he saw a look in Peter's eye he'd seen in Scott's eyes when he proposed to Jean.
"You're planning aren't ya Parker. You got that look in your eye like a you're about to do something crazy. Listen kid I've seen what you've done for Laura and she loves you. Don't know why, but she does I know you can take care of her and provide for her." He gave Peter the first smile that he ever saw. Peter looked down pulling out a small black box.
"That obvious huh?" he smiled and looked at his possible father-in-law. "Aunt May knows I'm proposing was hoping you could stall in some way so I can enact the plan I had in mind. You do kind of owe me for that little adventure we had last week"
Logan nodded and the two men headed into the kitchen where May and Peter where in mid conversation. Laura smiled at Peter and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Kid, you and me gotta have a talk." Said Logan as he entered behind Peter. Laura looed at her father with a puzzled face as the two walked out the back door. Leaving Aunt May and Peter alone in he kitchen.
"That girl loves you Peter. She's such a sweet girl, do you have the ring dear?"
"Yes, Aunt May." He handed her the box. May smiled, Laura truly made Peter happy. Ever since Gwen died he never truly had his smile back. With Laura however he seemed happy it was good to see him smile. Even when May met Laura three years ago she knew Peter had found the one. The girl was quiet at first didn't really open up until much later. She loved Laura and knew her nephew had found his soulmate.
Outside Laura and Logan stood in the cold the two standing in silence for a moment until Logan spoke up."How much do you love him Laura." He said
"Logan I would do anything to keep Peter safe. He made me feel things I've never felt before. He's one of the few people who isn't afraid of me. He may be an idiot sometimes but he's my idiot." Laura felt tears roll down her cheek. Ever since they've been together Laura was afraid of losing him. She'd made so many enemies and Kamura was still out there, anyone of them especially Kamura could use Peter to get to her. She couldn't allow that wouldn't allow it.
Aunt may poke her head out of the door opening smiling at two. "The cakes ready…Laura dear are you alright?" she said looking at Laura who was wiping tears away," I'm alright May just had something in my eye." The old woman nodded as the two mutants entered the home.
Inside was peter next to the cake that had candles and something else that caught her eye. Beside the cake was a small black box with a bow on it. When Laura saw the box she felt her knees go weak, was Peter really popping the question?
Slowly she walked towards the table as Peter and his Aunt sang happy birthday with Logan looking back. She closed her eyes and made her wish. With a swift blow the candles were diminished and then she slowly held the box in her hands looking at Peter.
Peter walked toward her kneeling with one knee holding her hands. "Laura Kinney you have been the best thing that has ever happened to me. When I first met you I knew there was something special about you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Laura. He rested his forehead against hers looking into those deep green eyes that were filled with tears of joy. She kissed him not wanting this moment to ever end
"I love you Peter Benjamin Parker" she placed the ring on her finger and smiled a huge smile. This night couldn't get any better.
Then Peter's buzzer went off. Laura groaned and Aunt May smiled slightly. When Peter had told her that he was Spider-Man she always got worried, when she found out his now fiancé was The Wolverine she was even now worried about both of them.
"Duty calls ya know being an Avenger and everything." Peter said as he got up.
Aunt May hugged both Laura and Peter tightly. Every time she saw them on the news fighting some super villain she worried that one of them wouldn't come home. Then she heard a sigh of relif from Peter and Laura.
"We'll call you when we get home. It doesn't seem end of the world at least just a meeting." Laura said as her and Peter walked to the door holding hands. Logan saluted to the Parkers and his daughter and headed off out the door.
"Treat her right bub." The old Wolverine called out.
Laura and Peter said their goodbyes to Aunt May in full Wolverine and Spider-Man gear.
As Peter swung through Queens and into the city Laura never felt happier then she had ever been. Her wish had come true.
She had a family and was with the man she loved.
