The One

Pietro had called Kitty for their weekly lunch while the Eliza was in school, (now in 1st grade).
"Thanks for taking care of him while I'm out," Kitty dropped Nick off at mansion.
"No problem, he's doesn't cry, so that's good thing. You raised them well, Eliza was the same way. They don't have separation anxiety when you leave them for a couple of hours even if you're always there. Not like some of the other kids here who follow their parents everywhere," Hank laughed.
"Thanks, I'll be back, bye Nicholas," She placed a fart kiss on his cheek, and phased outside.
Kitty followed the hostess who had her seated by the window, the perfect spot to wait for Pietro.
As the minutes ticked by, no sign of him. "Where are you?" She sighed.
Kitty reached into her purse to pull out her cell and called his office. No answer. 'Maybe someone needed him real quick as he was leaving.'
Twenty minutes passed, and now she was worried. She had sent the waitress away, and now she had no food, no husband, and she was losing faith. 'What happened?"
She recognized some other couple from the PTA meeting looking at her weird.
Finally, she left her seat and took a short tour checking if she hadn't missed him in the crowd. No luck. Defeated, she drove home, tired, and hungry.
"He stood you up?" Jean was surprised as she gave Nick back to Kitty.
"I don't know," Kitty sighed.
"Well, go eat, we have some leftovers from earlier," Ororo led her to the kitchen.
"You should call him," Rogue suggested.
"Ok," Kitty reached for the phone and called his office.
"Where were you?!" She challenged.
"At the restaurant, waiting for you."
"But I was at the restaurant," She said.
"Really? Where were you sitting?" He asked.
"I was at one of the booths on the upper floor on east side of the room," Kitty replied.
"But that's where I was sitting!" Pietro exclaimed. He paused, and then chuckled, "The hostess probably had us back-to-back!"
"Didn't you see me come in?" Kitty questioned.
"No, I was checking my messages when I came in," He answered.
"I walked around looking for you."
"That must have been when I went to the rest room," Pietro stated.
"No wonder that one couple from the PTA gave me such a weird look. They probably thought we were fighting and wouldn't even sit at the same table."
Everyone who heard that laughed.
"Hey, you may have been sitting back-to-back, but your hearts were in the right place. You both were waiting for each other," Remy teased.
================================================================
"We need to get away," Kitty complained.
"I know what you mean," Pietro agreed as he looked at their bed, which had become a family bed with all four of them.
"That's why I always tell you to make them go to sleep before we do, so we can always move them into their rooms," She stated.
"Ok I will next time," He blew her a kiss and then dozed off.
================================================================
"I'll stay over if you like, I could sleep in the guest room," Wanda offered.
"Really?" Kitty was relieved.
"Yeah, anything to get away from the guys, plus I love spending time with my favorite niece and nephew," She pulled them into her arms.
"We are your only niece and nephew," Eliza made a face.
"Minor detail, little one, minor detail."
"Thanks Wanda, I'll go call Pietro now."
Later that night…
"I'm going to take a bath," Kitty said as they stepped into their room for the night.
"Ok," Pietro plopped himself in front of the TV.
'Yes,' She thought, 'this definitely is going to be a night to remember.'
Pietro mumbled something over the roar of the faucet.
Kitty came out of bathroom, primped and ready, but Pietro was no where to be found. No note, no clue, just gone. "Where could he be?" She wondered.
After a few minutes, Kitty sighed and waited as she stared onto the TV screen.
"I can't believe it! He's always doing this to me, like its macho not to let me know where he is!"
Kitty started crying while watching TV, because he husband had ditched her, "Pietro! Where are you?"
Pietro came in not too long after Kitty's eyes were red and puffy, "What's wrong?" He pulled her into his arms.
"Where were you?" She cried.
"I said I was hungry, so I went out to get some food," He replied.
"I didn't hear you. You should've told me louder!" She pouted.
"Well, you should've listened louder!"
Their passions rose, and the mood turned…
================================================================
"You want to know what I think is sexy?" Kitty asked.
Pietro gave her his undivided attention.
"It's sexy when you spend time with the kids playing games and stuff like that," She replied.
"Nick! Come here; let's play a game right now!"
"Dork!" Kitty slapped him.
"Yes Daddy?" He ran into the room almost running into the table, but Kitty caught his arm, phasing him through.
"Never mind Sweetheart, he just wanted to say I love you. Go back and play with your sister," Kitty gently shoved him towards the family room.
"You know I once read about this woman who wrapped herself in saran wrap for her husband, naked," Pietro added.
Kitty shook her head and laughed, and started rinsing the dishes.
Pietro came up behind her and purred, "You are so sexy!"
Kitty rolled her eyes and continued.
"What?" He looks at her innocently.
"What's sexy about me?" She asked.
"I love you, that's what makes you sexy to me," He smirked.
She turned around and kissed him.
Unfortunately right when Nick comes in, "Eww!" He runs back out.
They broke apart and laughed.
================================================================
"Thanks again Wanda, you're a lifesaver!" Kitty called over her shoulder.
"You're welcome. Just don't tell me what you guys do when you go out like this," She shuddered and brought the kids back in.
It was a surprise. Pietro had to go out of town for his work.
Kitty remembered their last conversation, "It's only a few days," He stroked her hair reassuringly.
"It's just that we get so little time alone as it is," She sighed.
She looked to the passenger seat, the picnic basket was set, a small overnight bag, makeup bag and toothbrush.
Kitty checked her watch as she parked, just in time to get into his room undetected.
Pietro walked into his room, soft flickering candlelight danced across the ceiling to the soft sound of music. He spotted her right away and looked at her in disbelief.
She walked up to him and he wrapped his arms around her. He twirled her around and whispered, "I'm so glad you came! I was lonely."
Then they kissed, danced and did all the things Kitty had dreamed of doing.
The quiet beeping of the alarm clock, signaled Kitty's time to go, even if she didn't want to.
He stirred and opened his eyes and sighed.
"I know, I wish these moments could last forever," She slipped into her clothes, and gathered her things.
She ran her fingers through his hair, and they kissed.
"Thanks for coming," He smiled.
"I would do it all again if I could," She whispered.
================================================================
Kitty felt Pietro stirring next to her and his arm slide across her waist. Her husband pulled her to his chest, enveloping her in a morning embrace.
"Morning beautiful," He greeted.
"Morning yourself," She lightly laughed.
"How did you sleep?"
"I always sleep wonderful in your arms," She answered then kissed him.
"I'm hungry," He stated.
Kitty shook her head and got out of bed. "Beautiful morning, isn't it?" She commented looking out to the front yard. She smiled, she hadn't regretted one moment of the past 10 years. Ever since, she has grown to love Pietro Maximoff more and more everyday.
As if reading to her thoughts, Pietro slipped his arms around her waist. He lowered his face and gently kissed her neck, sending her to the unknown. He grinned and continued.
"I thought you wanted breakfast," She warned.
"I changed my mind," He deep warm voice giving her the chills.
"But the kids need to eat," She added turned around to face him.
"They won't care," He smirked.
"They're just going barge in on us when they get hungry, you wouldn't want traumatize them would you?"
"Alright, fine," He pouted, "one more kiss though."
Before she could reject, his lips captured hers with so much heat and passion. She kissed her husband back with just as much intensity until they broke apart, which seemed too soon for Kitty.
"Ok, I'm ready for breakfast!" Pietro took her hand and headed downstairs.
"I changed my mind!" She stood her ground.
"Too late," He chuckled and picked her up and brought her to the kitchen.
"You're horrible you know that!" She frowned and then started cooking.
"Oh well, I guess I'll have to make you suffer tonight won't I?" He spoke with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Kitty just rolled her eyes.
"Pass the butter please!" Eliza said as soon as she sat down.
"Morning Annie," Kitty handed her the butter, "where's your brother?"
"Nick!" Pietro called out, "Breakfast!"
"Coming!" He ran through, and like always, almost running into the counter, but it's become a habit for Kitty to grab him just in time.
"When Nick gets his powers, he's not going to need Mommy to do that for him is he?" Eliza asked spreading the butter on her pancakes.
"Who knows what his powers will be? You still haven't got yours," Kitty replied.
"If I'm like you, four more years and counting," She laughed.
"How come you never said when you got your powers Daddy? Come on, aren't I old enough to know yet?" She pouted and gave him the puppy dog eyes.
Pietro looked to Kitty, but succumbed to her face, "Eight."
"Eight?!" Eliza exclaimed.
Pietro nodded, "You know one of these days I'm going to say no to that."
Kitty added, "I doubt it!"
"Yes, I will, and I know what I will say no to," He smirked, "no boyfriend till your married."
"That's fine, boys are gross anyway," She started eating.
"In a few years, you'll be begging to change his mind," Kitty laughed.
"Yeah, and she'll get all kissy-poo like Mommy and Daddy," Nick teased.
"Eww! That's the last thing I need is to be like Mom and Dad, they kiss all the time," Eliza made a face.
Pietro and Kitty just smiled to each other.
"Now they're making googly eyes!" Nick covered his eyes.
"Oh stop it you two!" Kitty stuck her tongue out to the two.
That started a contest in who could make the ugliest face.
"So what are we going to do today?" Eliza asked.
"Stay home," Pietro replied.
"Aww," She whined.
"Fine, we'll watch a movie tonight then," He said.
Driving home that night, Pietro peeked to see both of his little ones asleep in the backseat. He placed his hand over Kitty's hand, who was seated beside him. "I'm so lucky to be married to you," He added.
"Me too," She smiled.
Kitty turned around to get a good look of their offspring. Eliza was now ten and looking like Kitty more and more, the only difference is that she has Pietro's eyes. Nick was four, with platinum hair like his father's and looked just like Pietro when he was a kid, except he had Kitty's eyes, which was brown.
"I wouldn't live our lives any other way. I love you," She stated.
"I love you too," He gave a quick kiss; "Don't forget, it's payback time tonight."
"I can't wait," She grinned.
