*3 days later*
Peter stood nervously staring into a mirror fixing his tie and suit. Today was his big day he was finally marrying his girlfriend Ava they had been together for 2 yrs., and were officially tying the knot peter felt a wave of fear and excitement come across him. He hopped their marriage would last to old age, and that they'd be together for eternity. He only hoped now that their daughter Olivia would be born happy and healthy. The door opened, and Aunt May poked her head inside. "Peter. Are you ready, sweetheart? The wedding is starting." Aunt May asked. She smiled sweetly at him and he smiled back.
"Yeah, Aunt May. I'm ready. Nervous, but ready," He replied.
Aunt May walked in and hugged him close. "Oh, you look so handsome. I'm so proud of you, Peter, and I know your Uncle Ben would be too," she replied. Peter had to refrain from crying. He missed Uncle Ben so much, but he knew Uncle Ben would want him to move on and enjoy life. The wedding music outside began to play, and Aunt May lovingly held her nephew's hand and led him out to the main hall where the wedding was taking place.
The guests, including some school friends, sat respectfully as the wedding started. Peter watched as the eyes of what seemed like 300 people watched him walk up the aisle. He noticed a few familiar faces and smiled. (They came. Gwen and MJ really came,) Peter thought to himself. Gwen noticed him giving her eye contact and looked down at her shoes while Ava smiled at him. He then noticed a person he did not want to see there: Flash. He was present, sitting in a guest of honor seat that was really meant for Sam.
Peter didn't understand why Sam wasn't there, and why this bastard Flash Thompson was sitting in a seat he knew he didn't deserve. Flash waved to Peter, making him turn his head in disgust. (What's happening, and why is Flash here? He must have snuck in. Yeah, that's it, and Sam's probably stuck in traffic,) Peter thought. Little did he know that Sam was in the hospital with a serious condition.

*On the plane back to New York*
Rival wasn't feeling very well. She was pregnant, and it was starting to show. She was only a few weeks, but she could feel a small baby bulge showing, and it wasn't really noticeable until you got a closer look at her. She rubbed her stomach and groaned. Kraven noticed her uncomfortable state. "Dzhemma, chto sluchilos' moya milaya zhenushka?"
(meaning Gemma what's wrong my sweet little wife?" in Russian)
Rival was learning Russian still, but she understood what her husband was saying. "I'm not feeling well. I feel queasy. I think I might be pregnant, Sergei…" she said, shyly looking away.
Kraven smiled, and he kissed her hand. "I sure hope so that is fine. There is always much excitement and joy a little one brings, especially in our life together. There is also room for a new child in our home as well," he added.
Rival smiled, and kissed him. "We'll see if I really am pregnant when we get home. It could be just motion sickness," she replied.
Kraven smirked, and kissed her hand again. "My dear, considering how active we've been these past days, I don't believe a mere airplane ride would send you into a frenzy like I did last night," he added seductively.
A bright red blush spread across Rival's face, causing him to chuckle. She playfully smacked his arm, causing him to chuckle again. "Sergei, this is serious. Are you sure you're ready for the responsibility? I mean, we're still newlyweds, and now we're having our first child together," she replied.
Kraven rubbed her hand, ensuring her that everything would be fine. "That is fine, krasivyy (beautiful in Russian). A child is a blessing as well as a challenge, is it not? You are a wonderful mother, and our baby will be lucky to have you as his or her mother, as I am lucky to have you as a wife." he said.
Rival was touched. "Oh, Sergei. That means a lot. It really does," Rival said, starting to feel herself tear up. She felt so loved, and she was excited about the idea of being pregnant, even though it was so soon. Sergei was excited too, and she would be having her second biological child. She enjoyed being a mother. She pictured herself feeding, bathing, and cuddling and playing with her future child.
She hoped she was pregnant, and she was surely taking a pregnancy test when she got home. The pilot spoke out loud on the speakers, interrupting her thoughts. "Landing in New York, ladies and gentlemen. We have safely landed in New York. Thank you for flying with Skyline, and have a nice day," The pilot announced when the plane landed.
The couple grabbed their things and safely got off. Rival sent a message to her sister Apprentice, who was officially packed up and ready to move with Ryuuji out of their apartment into a nice spacious house the next day.
Apprentice and Ryuuji were busy currently trying to stop the twins from fighting each other and Link, like all siblings do. Momo and Kylie were fighting over a pacifier that was accidentally given to Link, the newest addition to the family. It was quite clear that Link was not going to give the pacifier back.
Apprentice received the text message and sighed. She was tired out of her mind, and her nieces wouldn't stop fighting. Her husband separated the crying children, except Link, from each other, and placed them in separate playpens. If it wasn't for Ryuuji, the children would have been fighting for hours now.
Link stretched her tiny arms and legs in Celina's arms and fell asleep. Celina smiled tiredly. Link wasn't a bad baby, but she was very stubborn. That morning, she had refused to take a bath, nevertheless get dressed that day. Apprentice gently took the child from Celina and took the adoption papers as well. Waiting for her sister and brother in law was tiresome, but at least the place was a fully furnished mansion. There were some beautiful things previously owned by the twin's dead parents, but still, she didn't feel right to go into some other woman's things. A servant asked her if would she like to take some of Mileena's jewelry. Even though the woman and her husband were long dead, Apprentice, being the sister of Rival, who was now the queen and owner of the mansion, couldn't take anything from this house, especially from the dead.
"Thank you for your help, Celina. I don't want you to be even later for Peter's wedding. At least go to the reception," Apprentice replied.
Celina nodded. "It's fine, Ms. Erudazu. I'll be going now. I'm just glad Link is going to meet her new parents," Celina said. She was already wearing her clothing for the wedding. It was a pretty teal strapless dress with silver high heels, and her hair was tied in a bun. Celina didn't really care much for makeup, but she put it on anyway for Peter. "The things I do for my friends," she muttered as she stood up. She said goodbye to Apprentice and her family and left to go to the wedding. Her brother Arachnos, real name Jackson Tarantlos, to her consternation, walked next to her. "I can walk just fine," she said, trying to shove her brother away. She only succeeded in making herself lose her balance. The battle with the Skrull had left her somewhat drained, something that worried Arachnos. He wasn't used to seeing her weak. Ever since the time when she'd beaten Ronan in a hand-to-hand match at the age of 10, he'd always thought of her as strong. Anything else, he thought, was unthinkable.
"No, you can't," Arachnos replied frankly, supporting his older sister. "The doctor said it could be a week until you regain your strength, so you're just going to have to tough it out and rely on someone for a change." Celina gave him a brief look, and continued walking, using him as a support. Few would dare tell Celina what Arachnos just did, but he could get away with it because he was part of the only family she had left, and to Celina, family was FAR more valuable than gold.
Meanwhile
*Back at Peter's wedding*
Peter watched as Ava was walked down the aisle by her grandfather. She looked like an angel despite her being a few months pregnant. The dress hid her baby bump well. When Ava finally reached Peter, he felt at peace besides flash being here.
It was truly a beautiful and memorable day. Luke, who was the best man at his wedding, had showed up with Lunaris who was looking a bit larger due to being pregnant with his child. Peter briefly worried about Luke's safety. There were few forces in existence that could halt an angry Volcanus. However, the words of the minister interrupted his thoughts. "Mr. Peter Parker, do you take Ava Ayala to be your wife in sickness and in health, through good times and bad, to have and to hold, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Peter said, Ava having already said her vows.
"I hereby pronounce you husband and wife," the minister said. "You may now kiss the bride." Peter needed no second encouraging. Neither, it seemed, did Ava, who beat Peter to the kiss. Some people started laughing, but everyone present started clapping and cheering for the young couple. Peter pulled away from Ava's lips, and was surprised to see a blush on her face. She smiled at his reaction.
"Ready to cut the c-cake?" Peter asked, blushing at the nervous stutter.
Ava smirked. "Definitely," she replied. The young couple walked over to the cake. It was a special 3-tier cake composed by (surprise, surprise) Carl and Celina. Ava was still stunned that a guy smarter than Doc Connors and a girl tougher than She-Hulk could make such a masterpiece. (Almost a shame to eat it,) she thought.
As was traditional, the young couple cut their pieces of cake. With a smirk, Ava smushed her piece into Peter's face, covering her new husband's face in blue frosting. Peter licked off some of the frosting around his lips, and tried to do the same to Ava. Peter dodged, causing the piece of cake to fly wildly. It hit Carl in the face, causing everyone to gasp in shock. Silence fell. After a few moments, Carl shrugged. "Not like anyone will notice," he quipped with a smile. Everyone laughed, and the cake was quickly cut up and distributed to the guests. Ava giggled softly as she saw Lisa feeding Volcanus. She found it cute that a tough guy like Volcanus, tough enough to earn respect from the hard-to-impress Wolverine, had a girlfriend that cared for him like that.
After everyone had a piece, it was time for the groom's friends to give their testimonies. Luke, being the best man, stood up first. "I know. I'm surprised as the rest of you that Peter and Ava are getting married so soon," he started. Peter's face turned bright red. "I thought that with the way they studied so hard for tests, they'd probably spend two more years studying each other at dates before getting hitched." Everyone laughed at that, especially Peter. He and Ava were heavy studiers for tests, Carl being the only one who studied harder than the rest of them. "Jokes aside, I'm glad those two are getting hitched. May they remember this day for the rest of their lives," he looked around, and whispered into the microphone, "and may you never forget the wedding anniversary, Pete," causing everyone to laugh out loud, including Peter and Ava.
After everyone was done laughing, Volcanus stood up and accepted the microphone from Luke. "I'll admit that I was surprised to find out that Ava was getting married to Peter. I mean, Ava's the most responsible young lady I know, besides my sister, and Peter's such a buffoon, he ought to go to clown school," he said.
Peter laughed at the joke, and Ava did, too. (What is this? Comedy hour?) Peter thought in his head. He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I think I'd look good with a polka-dot afro," he fired back.
Volcanus laughed at the joke. "It must've been your sense of humor, Peter," he replied. "You and Ava both have smiles on your faces no matter what life throws at you." He paused for a moment, and said, "I'll tell you what I told Luke after he proposed to my sister: Either you make that young lady happy, or I'll come and beat you up with one arm tied behind my back, just to make it fair."
Ava looked confused. "I thought you only had one arm," she said.
Volcanus smiled. "That was the joke," he replied, giving a cheerful wink. With a laugh, the people began eating. Ava noticed Celina sitting nearby, trying not to fall asleep. She was accompanied by a pale, skinny guy that Ava knew as Arachnos, a guy who'd gained powers similar to that of Spiderman through unknown means. Arachnos looked over at Ava and waved, smiling.
"Hello," Ava said softly.
Celina snapped out of the state of sleep she'd almost entered. "Hey, there," she said. "I'm sorry if I fell asleep during the testimonies. Ever since that Skrull attack, I've just been so tired."
"Do you need to go see a doctor?" Ava asked, looking over in Carl's direction.
Celina chuckled. "I already saw Doctor Carl," she replied, knowing who Ava had been looking for. "He said that I'll regain my energy in a week or so. She stretched. "I'm just glad that you and Peter are getting married. He's a good guy. He won't have to worry about Volcanus making serious his threat and coming after him."
Meanwhile
After the reception, Peter and Ava left out to enjoy their honeymoon in Hawaii. That night, Peter and Ava expressed their love for each other the second time. Luke and Lunaris had given them a free trip to Hawaii as a gift. Ava and Peter spent the entire night love making and enjoying the ocean view.
Meanwhile
*Back at Aunt May's house*
Even though they had met only a few days ago, Harry and Josie were starting to like each other. Of course, the relationship wasn't getting too serious just yet, but they were both considering dating for a while, despite the incident with Harry's disgusting father. The two laid in Harry's bed. Harry was going to move out of Peter's aunt's house and into Josie's apartment. Norman was in jail, and would be for a while. In a month or so, Harry was going to have all the money and the mansion to himself, but for now he was staying with Aunt May, or his love interest Josie, for the time being.
"You know, you humans aren't that bad. If we're going to be dating, you must show me more about yourself, your planet, and the wonderful food here, Harry. I heard about this thing called 'za'. Is it good?" Josie asked.
Harry smiled. "Za? Oh, pizza. Yeah, really good. Maybe tonight we can order some," Harry replied planting a kiss on her lips.
"Oh, I can't wait. Your planet is so much fun and so interesting," Josie replied happily. She pressed herself against his chest, sending shivers down the young rich boy's spine. Her breasts were so soft. Josie made it clear that she wouldn't have sex until she was married, or mate, which they called it on her planet. Harry had found out that Josie's species lay eggs, and the very idea of fathering children scared Harry, yet again intrigued him. He always wanted to be a father, not a fake one like Norman was. Yet, what would people say if he fathered illegitimate children? It would destroy his reputation and cause even more shame to fall on the family name.
Giggling, Josie kissed him passionately causing Harry to moan against her lips his hand found its way up her thighs causing a voluntary buck from the female alien above him. "Oooh Harry not yet we should stop." Josie said pulling away from him Harry nodded he knew she wasn't ready not just yet.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "What are you two doing in there?" Aunt may asked. "Josie your father is here!"
"Human, where is my daughter?" A strong burly voice asked. "Human, where is my daughter?"
Harry turned pale. He was about to reply, but Josie opened the door. "Here I am, dad," she said.
Meanwhile
When Rival finally got home, she noticed the mansion was quiet. Apprentice and her husband had put the children to sleep before falling asleep themselves on the couch. Rival smiled. It was good to be finally home. She suddenly felt the urge to pee and went to the bathroom. She took a pregnancy test, and the results were positive. Rival was very excited. Sergei was out carrying the luggage in. She would tell him the good news after he was done with the luggage. After finishing her business, she waited to tell him the good news in their bedroom, which was a bit too lavish for her tastes, though she hardly noticed at this time. She could barely contain her excitement. She was going to be a mother again.
