"Working already?" Wanda popped her head into the master bedroom.
"Do you know how much clothes this woman has?" Pietro was running back and forth from Kitty's closet to now 'their' walk-in closet.
Wanda laughed, "I'll be downstairs with Eliza, have fun!"
"Pietro, our room needs a woman's touch," Kitty stated looking around.
"Do what you want, but get rid of these knick-knacks please?" He motioned to a box of things Kitty had received since she was young.
"Oh and Pietro, since we both have lots of shoes, I bought this thingy for shoes and put it in the garage. I already put them all in boxes they just need to be put in their proper place," She grinned.
"How come I'm doing most of the work?" He complained.
"Because you're a man, and you can do it faster. You love me right?" She said walking up to him.
He nodded.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, ""I'll have the rest of our lives to make it up to you."
"Good, because this is a lot of work," He smirked.
================================================================
"Mommy, where are we going after this?" Eliza asked as they waited in at Starbucks one afternoon.
"We're going to visit Daddy," Kitty replied.
"You mean I get to visit Daddy's work?" Her eyes sparkled.
Kitty nodded.
"Ok," Eliza held onto her mother's hand as she ordered.
"So why you getting coffee Mommy?"
"Because Mommy needs it," She admitted.
"Kitty," A worker announced.
"Thanks," Kitty picked up her drink and headed for the straws and napkins, "Here," she handed Eliza a cup of water after sticking the straw through the cover.
"Thank you," She smiled.
"You want some?" Kitty offered her straw to her.
Eliza shook her head.
"It's chocolate," She persisted.
Eliza just sipped her water.
"Let's go," Kitty took her hand and headed for the car.
"Oh my gosh! Kathy, is that you?!" Josie spotted her.
"Hey Josie," Kitty smiled.
"I haven't seen you in years. How have you been?" Josie slapped her arm, "why do you wait so long to visit?!"
"Rex!" She called out, "look who's here!"
"Shh! I don't want everyone to know I'm here yet," Kitty laughed.
"You look so mature, I mean, still young, but look at me, see these wrinkles and all this cellulite," Josie patted her stomach.
"Kathy?" Rex stepped out from one of the offices.
"Hi," Kitty greeted him with a short hug.
"What's the occasion? That you come to our humble abode of an office?" He asked.
"Umm…I saw Mr. Sheldon a while back, he said I should stop by, he said everybody missed me. Things have been busy, but I finally found the time. Plus I've been meaning to show Josie something anyway," Kitty faked coughed as she brought her hand to cover her mouth.
Josie spotted it right away, "Ahh!"
Kitty giggled.
"Oh my gosh! Who's the lucky guy?" Josie's voice went one pitch higher as she reached for Kitty's hand to admire her ring.
"I'll tell you later," Kitty wanted her friend to be in suspense, "Mr. Sheldon wants to see me."
Knock. Knock.
"Come in," Pietro's voice was heard on the other side.
"Hey!" Kitty smiled.
"Daddy!" Eliza ran over to his desk, and crawled onto his lap.
"How's my little angel?" Pietro gave her a kiss.
"I'm fine, you know what Daddy? A lady was screaming when she saw Mommy's ring," Eliza giggled.
"Oh really?" Pietro put her down and walked over to Kitty, "I wonder why," he smirked.
She gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "I'm a little scared. I haven't seen them in years, and now we bring all this news on them. I didn't say anything yet, so I'm going to let Mr. Sheldon know I'm here, I'll be back," She made her way back to the door.
"That's it?" Pietro looked hurt.
Kitty rolled her eyes, "Don't give me that!"
"Mr. Sheldon, Mrs. Maximoff is here to see you," His secretary's voice was heard on the intercom.
"Kathy, I heard Josie and Rex saw you. How was the honeymoon?" He let her in. "Call Mr. Maximoff here for me," He told his secretary before closing the door.
"Wonderful. I brought her here like you told me too," She added.
"Good, it's about time, they knew the truth about you two," He laughed.
Knock. Knock.
Eliza opened the door.
"Mommy, look," She was playing with some of Pietro's things.
Kitty panicked and closed the door.
"How are we going to do this?" Pietro asked.
"Kathy will go back outside to finish her conversations earlier, introduce Eliza, you'll come out of your office, Eliza will run to you, and they'll get it. You'll explain from there," He replied.
"You make it sound so easy," Kitty started playing with her hands.
"Ok, we'll do it. Eli," Pietro squatted down to be face to face with her, "when I come out of my office, you'll come to me, like it was the first time you saw me today ok?"
Eliza tilted her head to the side, and wondered, "Ok!"
"Good girl, I'll see you later!" He kissed her then walked out.
"That was quick meeting," Josie approached her, "So…are you going to tell me what your new last name is?"
Kitty nodded, "First, I need to introduce to you, if you didn't notice her earlier, my daughter, Elizabeth Ann."
"Last name please?" Josie waited.
And right on cue, Pietro stepped out of his office and into viewpoint.
"Daddy!" Eliza ran up to him and he scooped her up into his arms.
Josie gaped.
"Sorry for not telling you sooner, Josie, but she wanted to be the one to tell you," Pietro walked up to them.
"He's your husband? That's your daughter? How come you never said anything?!"
"Hey Pietro, who's the kid?" Rex asked as he spotted a little girl on his shoulders.
"This is my daughter, Eliza, Eliza, this is daddy's co-worker, Rex," He extended her hand to shake his.
"You have a kid?" Rex's eyes widened.
"You want to know who the mother is?" Josie asked still in shock.
"Who?" Rex asked.
Josie reached for Kitty and Pietro's left hand to show the rings, "They're married! This is their daughter!"
"Was this a secret you decided to keep from us? Wow," Rex let out a deep breath, "you're one lucky guy."
"I know," Pietro put his arm around Kitty and smiled.
"And you have one adorable little girl," Josie pinched her cheeks. "Even if you did keep it from us, we're still happy for you!"
"Thanks," Kitty laughed.
"Ok, ok, leave the happy family alone, back to work," Mr. Sheldon walked up to them, "And Pietro, take the rest of the day off."
"Thank you Sir," He shook his head, and headed back to his office.
"See, it wasn't so hard after all?" Mr. Sheldon teased.
"Yeah, thanks," She gave him a quick hug, and followed Pietro.
"What are we doing today?" Eliza asked.
"What do you want to do?" Pietro retrieved his stuff, picked her up, with one arm, and had Kitty around his other.
"Movie night?" She flashed him a big smile.
"Ok, movie night," He agreed.
"So what movie?" Kitty asked.
"Little Mermaid II!" She giggled.
"What about Little Mermaid I, since you fell asleep last time, and we didn't hear Mommy sing?" Pietro suggested.
"Ok!" Eliza exclaimed, "But no more kissing this time!"
"I can't make any promises!" Pietro smirked.
"You better not!" Kitty laughed, "and I won't fall asleep on you this time," she whispered the last part.
"It doesn't matter, because now you sleep with me," He grinned.
"Ok fine, you're right." She sighed in defeat.
"Of course I'm always right," He stated arrogantly.
Kitty rolled her eyes and made a face, "You're not always right."
"I do get you for the rest of my life, am I wrong there?"
Kitty shook her head.
"You love me, am I right?"
"But do you love me more than I love you?" She asked.
"I do! Because I pay for everything," He replied.
"I make it up to you though, so I do," She laughed.
"Fine, you do make it up to me. But hey, I don't mind one bit," He smirked.
