A/N: Title for this is from Eric Clapton's ~ Wonderful Tonight.

GreenDragon - I'm really glad you're enjoying this story :) to answer your questions: fortunuately, unfortunately is a game played with children and you basically tell a story together, it works best with more than two. So you start it off for example with "Joey went to the zoo on Friday, fortunately it was sunny"

Then the next person adds on (kind of like a round robin I guess) with "Unfortunately it had rained the day before and he fell in a puddle" so on and so forth alternating the fortunate incidents of the story with the unfortunate ones. I used to play this with my nephew and as expected with young children, when monkeys were bought into a story poo was inevitably being thrown at some point lol.

Yes Harry can understand Groot, though magic and being around him long term.

Tamicamcwilliams - I have a general plot for this and yes it will include other marvel characters at some point, not sure when but it'll happen so watch this space :)

Chapter 10 - You look wonderful tonight

Peter grinned as he and Gamora snuck around the canteen, they had put up streamers and banners the night before and now they were blowing up balloons at the crack of dawn in preparation of Harry's sixth birthday. From the little snippets of information they had gleaned from him Harry had never celebrated his birthday before. Taking Harry in had been the best thing they could have done, as a team they had bonded a lot more than before, they still had the occasional disagreement of course and Rocket could still be annoying when he wanted to but for the most part things were great. Harry had even helped Gamora bond better with Nebula, he had really taken with her and often asked when they would see 'Aunty Nebula' next.

An hour later he and Gamora carefully opened the door to Harry's room and grinned at the messy haired child lay spread eagled across the bed. Gamora stifled a laugh at the sight of Harry in his bed with his feet up by the pillows. He had been moving a lot in the night it would seem. A quick picture later and they let Groot run past them to wake him up.

The look on Harry's face when he saw the canteen had been priceless. He had been dragged out of bed by Groot after the little tree had jumped over him and tickled him awake. The canteen had streamers and banners wishing him a Happy Birthday and there were balloons in silver, blue, purple, green and red all his favourite colours. His breath caught when he saw the presents on the table and they were promptly forgotten when he caught sight of his beloved Aunty Nebula.

"Aunty Nebula" Harry shouted as he darted across the room and leapt into her arms, trusting his aunt would catch him. "I missed you" he said with a grin and he snuggled into her arms.

"I missed you to Harry. Happy Birthday" Nebula smiled softly, she had been a lot more open with affection since hanging around with her sister and the family she had made for herself. She realised with a start that it wasn't just her sisters family, they were hers as well. The knowledge bought a bigger smile to her face.

She put Harry down and watched happily as he tore into his presents and played various games. This child who was currently dancing to the music in a way that she had never seen before, as if he was the music bought so much joy to her and her family and in that moment she realised exactly how much they meant to her, she knew she would die for them without question.

Later that night Harry snuggled into his bed happily cuddled up to Groot, he had had the best day ever. He had been allowed waffles with ice cream and extra syrup for breakfast, then he had opened his presents and he'd gotten new books from Uncle Kraglin, Aunty Nebula and Groot. Uncle Drax, Aunty Mantis and Uncle Rocket had gotten him some games for the new game system his Mama and Papa had bought him and he even got a gift from Miss Roselyn at Ballet! She got him a cd of some of his favourite ballet music. As he lay in his bed he had a warm feeling of being loved, he was content and happy after a great birthday the first one he could remember having and as they listened to his Mama and Aunty Nebula read Fantastic Mr Fox one of his new books complete with voices he started to drift off to sleep.

Gamora smiled softly as she closed the book. Harry and Groot had drifted off to sleep halfway through the book. "Come sister, let's see how Quill is getting on with clean up hmm" she whispered with a grin.

Together the siblings headed out to the canteen, Gamora grinned happily as Quill caught her arm and spun her to him as the speakers played Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton.

Gamora smiled as she rested her head on Peters shoulder and listened to him singing softly, "and then she asked me do I look alright and I say yes, you look wonderful tonight." As they swayed gently around the room and Peter sang softly to her Gamora felt herself singing back, she grinned at the sight of her sister dancing somewhat stiffly with Kraglin on the other side of the room before closing her eyes and enjoying the moment with Peter.

"And then I tell her,

As I turn out the light

I say my darling,

you were wonderful tonight

Oh my darling,

you were wonderful tonight"
