Chapter 9 – The Story of Gwen Parker Stacy

Authors note: I am going to be switching to my previous, Wednesday, Sunday schedule. This also has mentions of abortions, abuse, and gore. Enjoy, and review!

Gwen didn't know much about her dad's family. His name, was Richard Parker, and while going through a nasty divorce, and even though the papers hadn't been signed yet he'd hooked up with Doctor Lilith Stacy. A neurosurgeon at New York City Health and hospital. Very well known, and Gwen's mother.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand since Lilith was married. Well, one night, turned to two, and two to three and three to ten and so and so forth. Lilith began to believe they could be something more and filed for a divorce. Richard didn't look too much into it, after all his rebound was simply a distraction. That is until the call came through.

It was the familiar Mama Mia ring tone that stopped the heart-to-heart Richard and Lilith were having about their future. All he could think about was Mary all thoughts of the woman beside him flew out the window.

"Mary" he said happily. Richard heard muffled sobbing on the end of the line. "Honey what's wrong"

The concern laced in Richard's voice annoyed the doctor. She wasn't going to let her boyfriend's ex-wife ruin this for her. "Richard?" she asked innocently batting her lashes, but he paid her no mind.

"Mary?" he asked again as the sobs came to a halt.

"Richard'' she whispered, "I'm pregnant''

It felt like Richard's world stopped. "I'm going to be a dad?"

Mary laughed lightly. "Yes, Richard we're going to be parents, now get over here, and celebrate with me" with that she hung up. Richard smiled and turned to Lilith.

"I'm going to be a dad" he squealed. Lilith was furious. There was a new light in his eyes, full of love and passion, but she knew it wasn't for her.

"Richard, I though we were..." She trailed off. Richard looked down at her with pity.

"It was never going to work" he said softly. Planting a passionate kiss on her lips. He lingered there for a moment, robbing salt on the wound. Still, she savored it.

2 months later Lilith bought 4 pregnancy tests. She'd been having symptoms for a while, but She denied it until a very visible baby bump appeared.

She took the first as soon as she got home, positive. The stupid plus sign stared at her, mocking her, fear blossomed in her chest.

'You still have 3 more' she reminded herself. Positive the next day, and the next, and the next day. Lilith glared at them wondering what in the world she did to deserve this. A mistaken her brain supplied. Finally, she picked up her phone, and dialed a familiar number. Two rings.

"Who is this?" A lady answered the phone. Mary Parker, the woman who was pregnant, and had the same baby dad she wad. "Hello?"

"Yes" Lilith started remembering what she was calling for, "Is Richard There. I'm one of his students at NYU" She said remembering that Richard had told her about being a history professor.

"Of Couse" Mary said politely. Lilith could hear her call for her husband.

"Hello?" the velvet voice of her ex asked. She couldn't help that maybe this would make him come back.

"Richard" She whispered.

"Lilith?" He asked, shocked.

"I'm pregnant" She heard the man stop breathing.

"How much" He asked frantically.

"Excuse me" Lilith asked angrily. Was he seriously going to buy her out?

"How much for you to keep your mouth shut'' Richard asked sternly. Did he not realize all he'd done.

"You I want you'' She begged. So what if she sounded pathetic and childish. "I can't do this alone"

"Lilith" His voice got softer. "I am having a baby with my wife, it's a boy. This is my family I can't leave them. Now how much?"

Fresh tears welled up in her eyes, and she let out a choked Sob. Lilith heard Richard take a deep breath, "I'll be over torn-morrow at ten." The beep of him hanging up forever

embedded in her heard.

With nothing else to do she began to tidy up, a million sceneries running through her mind, but it was not just stupid fantasies, it was of telling his wife. Watching the pain on her

face when she found out. Lilith knew she could never do that though. She was just too good.

The next day Richard showed up at ten as promised. He looked angry, and panicked.

"Richard please, don't let me do this alone" she tried again. Her blonde curls bouncing with her walks around as she followed him through her house. He didn't respond, all he did was silently pull out check book and pen, slamming the pen on the book.

"Sign it" he practically growled. Lilith was furious.

"No!" she screamed, ' 'You DESTROYED ME.' I divorced my husband of five years because I thought you were the one. My reputation is destroyed. The other doctors HATE me. I am the lady who divorced the man that treated her like a queen for a fling"

"Are you done" Richard asked completely and utterly unphased. Lilith was pissed.

"I don't want anything from you. I am getting rid of this thing. tomorrow" she said, on the brink of tears. Richard's composure dropped, and he gripped her wrist. Hard.

"I will give you money, but do not. I repeat you do NOT get rid of our child. Call me when and if you have a price" Richard slammed the door on his way out, and Lilith sank to her knees in gut-wrenching sobs.

The day Baby Gwen was born was the worst day of Lilith's life. She basically ignored her child leaving her baby at daycare, and often leaving her there for up to 48 hours until

Lilith's shift ended. Gwen was a nuisance until age 10 when she was old enough to fend for herself. Gwen could help around the house and set a good example at school for the kids of moms that also work at the hospital.

At age thirteen Gwen learned about Peter Parker her half-brother and her father Richard Parker. Gwen hated Peter Parker. He was the reason her mommy didn't like her as far as she knew if Peter Parker hadn't been born, she'd have a life with both her parents, and it would carry for years to come.

Present Time

Gwen followed in her mother's footsteps a huge hatred for the Parkers, and a Nuero surgeon at Stark-Potts memorial. It was a new one made in honor of the people who died in Sokovia. She woke up when the sound of glass shattering resonated around her small house. Gwen reluctantly got out of bed and went to see what all the fuss was about.

The first thing she noticed was Alexander, Cameron, and Harrison passed out drunk, surrounded by beer bottles, and drooling on her new beige couch. The second was Grant and Daniel surrounded by shattered plates yelling colorful profanity at each other.

"Boys!" she yelled over the arguing. Daniel at least had the decency to look apologetic, the same could not be said for Grant Ward.

"Why should we listen to you" Grant asked angrily, "How did you even end up with HYDRA"

Gwen rolled her eyes. Lilith had been studying brain washing She was even the one who helped brainwash James Buchanan Barnes. It had traveled down to Gwen who was working on

an improved more permanent serum. Another thing she'd followed in her mothers footsteps for. But she was better, especially when she was killed with the doctor she was working with when Bucky craved revenge 1 year ago.

"That's for me to know, and you not to find out" she said dismissively.

"Well, I'm not going to follow you, I outrank you" Ward boasted Gwen did not like this in the slightest. She whipped out a revolver and shot ward once in the chest and once in the head.

"Anyone else?" she challenged as blood oozed out from under the former HYDRA head. "Good clean this up"
