"Mommy, look what Uncle Bobby taught me," Eliza announced as she put mashed potatoes onto her spoon.
"No! Don't!" Kitty was too late; the mashed potatoes had hit Pietro right on his face.
"Oops, sorry Daddy," Eliza cowered in her seat.
Kitty burst out laughing.
"Do you think this is funny?" Pietro looked upset at Kitty, not Eliza.
Kitty pursed her lips together to keep from laughing, but she couldn't hold it in.
"Would you like some gravy with your mashed potatoes?" Kitty grabbed the bowl and dumped it on his head.
"Mommy," Eliza gasped, "you touched Daddy's hair!"
"So," Kitty smirked proudly, "I told you I'd get you back!"
"I supposed you'd like some apple pie for dessert," Pietro smashed the whole thing on her face.
Eliza hid under the table as her parents fought; she reached for the phone and dialed for the mansion.
"Hello?" Scott answered the phone.
"Hello? This is Eliza, my Mommy and Daddy is throwing food at each other, I don't wanna to get hit," She whined.
Scott laughed, then pulled himself together for Eliza's sake, "We're on our way!"
Everything that was in arms reach was ammo, but then they even resorted to the food in the freezer, fridge, and cupboards.
"I have an idea," Jean suggested on their way over, "Ok, we'll…"
Ding Dong.
'Eliza, its Auntie Jean, open the door.'
"Get it Kitty," Pietro paused before smashing her face with food.
"No way! I look terrible!" She poured water over his head.
"I'm not answering it!" He went ahead and smashed it onto her face.
"I'll get it!" Eliza ran from under the table to the door.
"Shh," Jean whispered.
"Who is it Sweetie?" Kitty asked while still attacking Pietro.
"It's just the police. I told them you were fighting and throwing things at each other," She replied innocently as she walked in.
Kitty's eyes widened as Pietro's jaw dropped.
"Gotcha!" Kurt exclaimed as they saw a flash.
"Wow, you two really made a mess," Jean commented walking into the kitchen.
"Did you just lie to Mommy and Daddy?" Kitty squatted down to be eye level with Eliza.
"Auntie Jean told me too," She pouted.
Kitty glared at Jean, then spoke to Eliza, "Give Mommy a hug."
Eliza made a face as she was soon covered in whatever Kitty was covered in.
"That's what you get for lying," Kitty placed a fart kiss on her cheek.
"I wonder what really would've happened if she really did call the police," Scott laughed.
"I think you two are having a bit too much fun living here," Kurt added, "Wanda told me about the huge water fight that lasted for hours."
Kitty blushed and turned away.
"Way too obvious," Tabitha teased.
"I think everything is under control here, we'll leave the mess to them," Jean spoke into the communicator.
"Did you get pictures?" Jubilee asked on the other side.
"Of course," Jean replied.
"We'll see you guys later," Scott laughed, then waved as they headed outside.
"Look at the mess you did," Eliza put her hands on her hips to play 'Mommy.'
"Daddy can clean it up, he does it faster," Kitty flashed a smile, and then picked up Eliza, "You need a bath."
Pietro made a face.
"I love you Daddy!" Eliza smiled as she waved since Kitty was holding her over her shoulder.
"I love you too Babe," He shook his head and laughed.
================================================================
"Ok, is this another 'gang up on Pietro' night?" Pietro asking walking into his father's base.
"I wouldn't say that," John said, "pull up a chair. It's a poker night, and we thought you missed out since you haven't played in a while."
"How's the kid?" Remy asked shuffling the cards.
"She's fine, I can't believe she's turning six soon," He replied.
"How's Kitty?" Piotr asked.
"She's great, and just to let you know from the last time we had that 'serious' conversation, I did listen to you. I'm taking her out tomorrow night for Valentines Day too," Pietro added.
"Don't hurt her Pietro, she deserves better than that," Eric warned.
"Dad, how can I hurt her? I'm in love with her," Pietro smiled, a real smile.
Silence. A pin drop could be heard in the room.
Pietro looked around and everyone had shock written on their faces from what he had just said.
The phone ringing caused everyone to break out of their stupor.
"Hello?" John reached over for the phone.
"Why are you guys so surprised? You said yourselves that you know that I am capable of loving," Pietro shook his head at his fellow Acolytes.
"We knew you were in love with her, but we didn't actually expect you to verbalize it. Here it's for you," John handed him the phone.
"Hello?" Pietro into the phone.
"Daddy?" The voice asked.
"What's up?"
"'Member when you gave me dinner last night and it burned my tongue?" She asked sweetly.
"Yes, I remember," He replied.
"Well…you said you'd make it up to me, 'member that?"
"Go on," He laughed.
"Well, I saw this new doll on TV, and then I thought, I want it, and then I told Mommy, and then she said to remind you about last night, and then I called you."
"We'll see, ok Babe? I'll talk to you later," He heard the guys snicker then glared.
"I love you Daddy," She beamed.
"Love you too," then Pietro hung up.
"Was that Kitty?" John teased.
"Moron!" Pietro hit him upside his head, "That was Eli!"
The rest of the guys snickered again.
"What did she want?" Eric asked.
"Some new doll she saw on TV, because I promised I'd make it up to her for burning her tongue by giving her some hot food," He answered.
"That girl has you wrapped around her tiny little finger," Remy teased.
"I know, who knew the great Pietro Maximoff would soften up after having a little girl," John laughed.
"I did not soften up! Ok, so she does have me wrapped around her finger, but she's the only one alright?" Pietro snapped defensively.
"Ok, ok, I stand corrected," John stood up and hung his head.
"Does Kitty know how you feel?" Eric asked.
Pietro didn't answer.
"I take that as a no," John stated.
"You mean to tell us that you told us before you told her?!" Eric banged his hand on the table.
"I was planning on doing that tomorrow night," He spoke in his own defense.
"Take Remy's advice and tell her as soon as possible, so you can go on making another Eliza," He teased.
"Remy!" All the men threw their soda cans at him.
================================================================
"Annie, remember, listen to whatever Auntie Wanda tells you do ok? So when she says it's time for bed, it's for bed ok?" Kitty kissed her daughter.
"Yes Mommy, what time will you and Daddy be back?" She looked at her parents, all dressed up.
Kitty looked to Pietro, so he said, "Before Mommy turns into a pumpkin."
Eliza giggled, "Don't lose Mommy's shoe."
Pietro picked her up and kissed her.
"Take care of Mommy, because she's Cinderella tonight," She ordered.
"Yes 'mam. I will have her home before the clock strikes twelve," He put her down and saluted.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Just go! Have fun you two!"
Pietro ushered her out and into his car.
"You know Eli was right when she said you're Cinderella tonight, you look beautiful," He commented as he escorted her into the restaurant.
"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself," She laughed.
"Maximoff table for two," He spoke to the waitress.
"Yes sir, right this way," She took them to a secluded area outside.
"Oh my goodness," Kitty was in awe, "This is beautiful."
It was right in the middle of a garden, just their table, with violinists playing on the side. The star shined brightly in the dark sky, adding more beauty to the area.
"What would you like to drink?" Pietro asked once they were seated.
"Pietro, this is…expensive!" She exclaimed.
He laughed and shook his head, "Don't worry about it."
After they had eaten, he offered her his hand, "May I have this dance?"
She took it and he pulled her close, and they danced to soft music of the violinists.
"Pietro, why are you doing this? This is so…"
"Expensive?" He teased.
"Amazing," She laughed.
"Listen Kitty, there's so much I want to say to you, and I'm not so sure how it's going to come out, but here goes," He took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."
They stopped dancing and Kitty looked at him in confusion, with her arms still around his neck.
"I'm sorry for being a jerk. I'm sorry for ever hurting you. I'm sorry for everything," He sighed.
"Pietro it's ok. You know, we learned our lesson, plus I don't mind the consequence, I don't regret her one bit, she's wonderful," She stated.
"It's not only that. For a long time, I've been treating you as a maid, and it's recently that I began spent time with you. You're a good mother to my daughter. You take care of her, but also you take care of me too. I just want to let you know that I appreciate you so much. It must've been hard to carry her for nine whole months, deal with me, work, and everything other a thing a girl in her early twenties has to deal with, plus giving up your job, moving in with me, and staying home all day. I think you're a remarkable woman, and I wouldn't have anyone else to be my daughter's mother," He started.
Kitty was silent as tears began to make their way down her cheeks.
He cupped her face wit his hands, and used his thumbs to wipe her tears, "I took you for granted, because I couldn't stand you one bit."
Kitty laughed, "I couldn't stand you either."
"But I always found myself wanting to be near you, even if meant fighting with you over little things. Then I started enjoying being around you, watching you, especially with Eli, and then I realized something," Pietro paused.
Kitty held her breath.
"I love you," He spoke with all sincerity.
A spring of laughter gurgled inside of Kitty, as she no longer stopped the tears, "I love you too, you know I have."
He bent down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Later that night, Wanda heard the car pull in and wanted to tease them, so she ran to the door, crossed her arms, and started her toe tapping.
"You're still up," Pietro stated as he opened the door.
"You're late," She shook her head and looked at her watch.
"Is she asleep?" Kitty asked beside him.
Pietro grunted, "We're not late. Just in time," He pushed her out of the way and headed upstairs.
Wanda watched as he saw that their hands were entwined, "I see you two had fun tonight," She teased.
Pietro just pulled Kitty up the stairs.
"Thanks Wanda," She blew a kiss over her shoulder.
"No problem. I'll see you guys later, and yes, she's asleep," Wanda grabbed her coat and left.
"How's my little princess?" Pietro walked into her room, as Kitty switched on the lights.
Kitty followed him and knelt by the bed.
"Eli, it's Daddy and Mommy, wake up," He gently shook her.
"Don't wake her up!" Kitty whispered.
"It's ok," He continued.
She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Hey Baby," Kitty greeted.
Eliza moaned, "What time is it?"
"Midnight, told you I'd have her back in time," He kissed her; "We just wanted to say good night."
"Did you have fun?" She yawned again.
Kitty nodded, "Now go back to sleep, we love you," She placed a kiss on her temple.
"Night Mommy! Night Daddy! Love you too." She kissed them back and then Pietro tucked her back in.
"See you in the morning," Kitty smiled over her shoulder as she phased into her room.
