AN: So I was in the middle of writing the chapter that was originally going to be in place here when I had an epiphany, and I said to myself 'this needs to be written now'. So I did. This chapter was a lot of fun to write because it seems like it would be awkward and uncomfortable for everyone. Lastly, much love to NeoTyson. I saw that you gave me an unsolicited shout out in a recent update to one of your stories. Some more love to Celgress and Highlander348 for their continued support in reviewing this story, as well as everyone else who reviews as well. I am reading them.

Chapter 8

Peter woke slowly to the subtle scent of breakfast in the air. The sweet smell of pancakes and bacon permeated throughout the bedroom and invited itself the senses of the waking man. As he opened his eyes, he saw that he was alone in the sun filled bedroom. He ran his hand over Felicia's imprint on the bed sheets beside him, noting that it was cold, indicating she had left a while ago.

Peter could no longer resist the smell of what he strongly suspected was breakfast. He rolled out of bed slowly, tired from the activities from last night, and wandered over to a dresser where he pulled out and put on a clean pair of underwear. He then put on a rumpled, but comfy tee shirt and went out the door to the common area of his apartment where he was greeted with more of a scene that he expected. Company.

On the main floor below, Peter saw that his Aunt May had stopped by and was at work at the stove with a spatula in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other, the heavenly aroma more pronounced now that he had left the room. Nearby at a counter, Aunt May's second husband, whom she remarried many years after Benjamin Parker's death, Jay Jameson sat reading the day's copy of the Daily Bugle. Felicia, wearing a crop top and jeans, sat next to him on the counter reading off her phone.

Felicia was the first one to notice he was up. "Peter. Good morning sweetie." Felicia said as she pranced over and embraced him with an extremely passionate kiss and grabbing his butt.

"Good morning." Peter said a little surprised, and a little awkward. The then looked over Felicia's shoulder "Good morning Aunt May. What brings you here?"

"Thought that I would surprise you." Aunt May Said with a smile.

Peter walked over to the stove and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "When did you get here?"

"Oh, about a half hour ago." The older woman responded.

"How's it going Jay?" Peter looked over to the older man.

"Fine." he said absent mindedly, clearly engrossed in the paper.

"Peter dear, I know this is your place, but it would be rather polite if you could go get dressed." Aunt May pointed out. The tone sounded like a request, but the stern look on her face indicated that it was more of a demand.

"Yeah, I can do that." Peter said, and quickly moved upstairs to make himself more decent.

As Peter left, Aunt May looked to Felicia. "Would you like to change as well?" The woman asked pointing towards Felicia's bare midriff and belly button.

"Why would I?" Felicia asked confused.

"Have it your way." Aunt May said with the slightest bit of displeasure. Aunt May had never really accepted Felicia. As far as she was concerned she was a tad too wild, and a tad to open with herself and her body to be with Peter. Peter was a nice young gentleman, and Felicia seemed to enjoy being a borderline harlot.

Upstairs Peter quickly punt on pants and a button down shirt that he left open over his tee shirt. A quick check of the closet revealed that he had indeed placed his Spider-Armor back, and that Felicia had hung up her Cat suit. It was good to know that they hadn't left out anything incriminating. Peter's eyes then grew wide as he remembered that there was something that could be extremely embarrassing. The laptop with Fisk's data drive was on the table in the living room. Peter then became more worried when he remembered that they hadn't cleaned up after last night, and cloths were still all over the couch should Aunt May have a reason to look over there.

He took a couple a deep breaths and prepared a plan. His only hope was to make everything look casual. His Aunt May had the nose of a Bloodhound for sniffing out when Peter was being awkward. Normally he was able to keep all of his Spider-Man activities hidden. The obvious evidence of his and Felicia's adult relationship activities though would be much more awkward to explain.

Peter walked outside and went down to the living room calmly. "When's breakfast going to be ready?" He asked as calmly as he could.

"Getting ready now." Aunt May stated clearly.

"Awesome." Peter picked up his laptop which had indeed finished cracking into Fisk's data. Meanwhile he picked up the clothing from last night and threw it underneath the couch. He walked over to the dining room table and sat down. The laptop beside him closed and began to tear into a full stack of pancakes.

Jay was the only other one who ate with any enthusiasm. Aunt May and Felicia just took small bites and glared at each other from opposite sides of the table. The frigid conflict that took place went unnoticed for the time between the men at the table. Felicia never liked the fact that Aunt May only saw the side of her that most other people saw. The fun loving and flirty young woman. Felicia knew she cared deeply for Peter, and held it against the older woman that she couldn't see that.

The next few minutes were only filled with the sound of cutlery clinking against china. Eventually Peter got done and popped open the screen of the computer. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't look through the information of a criminal overlord in front of his Aunt, but neither she nor Jay would understand the technical schematics of the nano-technology he was looking at or the programming code that he was examining.

Jay noticed him clicking through his computer. "What's that you're working on?" He asked with genuine curiosity. Even though he didn't understand the high level math and science needed to know the details, he did try to be supportive in his own way. In that way he did remind Peter of his Uncle Ben.

"Technical data and programming for nano-technology." Peter said honestly.

"Ah. Okay then." Jay said and went back to his paper.

"So why are you in town?" Peter asked. Jay and May had moved to Boston some time ago.

"Jay and I are attending a fund raiser at the Museum of Modern Art." Aunt May said proudly. She had become very happy with the fact that he now had access to the financial resources to help people pursue academic and artistic talent, much in the same way she tried to support Peter when he was a boy.

"Oh, the one with the Pollock exhibition?" Felicia asked.

"Yes. How did you know about that?" May asked with a mixture of concern and surprise.

"I helped verify a few pieces." She answered. Since giving up crime, she had earned an honest living as an art and antiquities dealer. " Peter and I'll be there as well." She finished knowing that it would annoy May that she would be in the same room as her.

"Terrific." May said with disappointment.

Peter could sense that this sudden visit was quickly getting awkward. He needed an out quick and it was sitting right in front of him. "Aunt May, I loved that you stopped by and made breakfast, it was delicious by the way, but I have some work to do now, and we will be seeing each other at the art museum…" He explained and trailed off with urgency.

"Oh I suppose." May said sadly.

"I'll walk you down though." Peter said cheerfully, knowing it would make his aunt happy.

The quick ride down the elevator was done in silence. When the trio of Peter, his aunt and Jay reached the curb, May turned to her husband.

"Jay. Go get the car please." She requested.

"Be right back." Jay said in a friendly manner.

As he left, she turned to face Peter. "I really don't see what you have in common with her." May observed.

Peter groaned. This subject always came up when they were alone. He loved his aunt, but May continued to try and get him to return to a relationship with Mary Jane Watson, his old girlfriend and neighbor. "Aunt May, I've told you. M.J. couldn't support my work ethic, and I love doing the stuff that I do. Felicia does. Because of that we communicate more about our days, and that means the world to me. On top of that, she loves all of my little quirks that come naturally. Mary Jane just wanted me to change into someone I couldn't be." Peter had made these statements so many times they were now a rehearsed speech. Aunt May always figured that it had to do with Peter being a scientist, and not with him being a super hero.

Aunt May sighed in response.

"I know that she isn't the woman you thought I would spend the rest of my life with. But she is the woman that I can see doing that with." Peter said tring to sound convincing.

May perked up. "Peter, are you telling me that…."

"OH. No no no no no no no." Peter said in a rush. "Marriage, kids, stuff like that are defiantly a long way off. I mean we haven't even moved in yet." Peter said trying to reassure her that he was still a responsible young man.

May stared at him for a few seconds. "I guess I'll get used to her at some point." Jay just then pulled dup on the street in front of them in their car. Aunt May reached out to hug Peter. Peter gladly welcomed the embrace with a smile on his face.

"I love you Aunt May." He said.

"I love you too." She replied. The two eventually broke apart, and May held another stern look on her face. "But you need to shower. I don't know what you two did in bed last night, but you smell like her perfume still." May explained as she released him and walked away.

Peter just stared at her as she got into the car, thinking how he had just been busted.

AN: Despite all of the Spider-Man comics, movies, TV shows, video games, and fiction I have consumed, I don't ever recall seeing Aunt May directly interact with Felicia. My gut instinct is that they would not get along, principally is because Felicia isn't M.J. Even though I ship Peter and Felicia, I don't think it would be in character for Aunt May to do so as well. Also I have settled on the future of how I want to write this story. Should be a good way for me to continue to add to the story as I see fit. I hope I can come up with the content for it. I hope you all stick around to see it.
