February 24th - 2020

Back at the Parker's apartment, Gwen was sitting in their bed with Ren spread over her legs. The puppy was snoring like he usually did. She had been busy reading some of Peter's medical files he had gathered for the meeting with Adams in a couple of hours.

Speaking of Peter, he was sleeping next to her and wrapped in the sheets. It was a cute view, seeing Spider-Man wearing his boxers and mumbling something during his sleep, nobody would ever picture that.

She glanced at the clock beside the bed, it was 9:00 AM, she wasn't particularly tired but Peter doing what he usually did, required to sleep some extra time to recover his energy.

It was enough, though. They had things to do.

"Hey handsome," Gwen placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking him awake lightly. "We need to get up soon."

He opened his eyes groggily, his legs sliding down the bed and to the very bottom. He raised his arms as well, stretching his entire body before whilst yawning.

"Morning." Peter sat up in the bed, placing an arm around Gwen's shoulders. Ren was up now as well, he had jumped up onto Peter's chest and was enthusiastically licking his face. "Yes, morning to you too."

"Slept well?" Gwen asked, softly.

"Kinda."

"You were mumbling quite a lot."

He laughed. "Yeah, I had this crazy dream where you were Spider-Woman and you helped me defeat the villain… the latter being Aunt May, by eating all of her eggs."

"That's quite a crazy dream, she must be menacing with all those eggs." Gwen chuckled. She smiled at him and rested her hand on his arm. "Are you okay about today?"

"Don't worry about me, it's you going through everything," Peter intertwined his fingers with her own. "And you're okay, right?

"I'm fine, silly." She assured.

"Then I'm fine too." Peter continued, "Everything will be alright." He held her hand and softly kissed it.

Gwen teased, "You say it like you won't have to do anything."

"My role is quite simple here."

She chuckled. "Oh, you wish."

There was a moment of silence as the two watched each other. Then Peter moved closer, capturing her lips in a passionate lock. She happily reciprocated the kiss, placing an arm around his shoulders and pulling him closer.

He deepened the kiss, Gwen knew he was trying to convey his support physically, but then he began to run his hands over her body. Without a warning, Peter broke the kiss and looked to the window.

"Crap.."

"What?" Gwen asked, totally confused.

"Crap! Crap!" Peter raised from the bed and hurried to their wardrobe just to quickly move down a shirt over his bare torso. "I told Eddie that I would cover for him during the morning, there's a new site update that I need to finish, or else Jameson will throw me out of the window!" He informed, now wearing his jeans.

"So, you are back at the bugle."

"A couple of hours in the day, yes."

"At least have breakfast."

"Not enough time!" He walked to her side of the bed and quickly kissed her lips. He went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, and combed his hair, before returning to the bedroom just to hurry towards the main door.

"I'll be back soon. Love you!" Peter exclaimed, closing the door.

Gwen found herself alone and still trying to process everything that had taken place in a matter of seconds. He went from kissing her to vanishing in a blink of an eye.

She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "... okay."

Three hours later…

"With the decreasing loss of investors due to the investigation that is taking place since the leak exposed by its previous CEO, the entirety of Oscorp might be bought by the recently founded Horizon Labs."

The channel in Spider-Man's earphones within the mask informed.

"In other news, there are rumors about a possible superhuman registration act being discussed in the American congress. Sources claim that the rule was being discussed since the Battle Of New York, four years ago."

"Well… that's something," Spider-Man affirmed as he kept swinging from one building to the other at an accelerated pace.

A new year had started somehow very active for both Spider-Man and Peter Parker, the hero was very often guaranteeing the citizen's safety, twenty-four hours in the day and even further.

For Peter Parker, a new age began with lots of work in his rather new job as he lived another year with his wife and family. The past year was full of experiences, good and bad ones, it was a year that he wouldn't ever forget because it allowed him to evolve into the person he had to become.

The one he was always meant to be.

The webbing in Spider-Man's hand brought him down near the ground as he swung between the cars. He still had to buy some roses for Gwen since it was Valentine's Day, he wanted to remind her of how much he loved her every day, holiday or not.

Then they would meet again at Doctor Adam's clinic to start planning the future child that they both wanted, and that would be the perfect moment to give her the roses to her once the matter was over.

Spider-Man swung to his left, entering a new avenue while constantly being cheered by the people under him. He had to admit, his relationship with the city couldn't be any better and that just boosted his determination. He kept saluting when he could as he swung towards the nearest flower shop.

Adam's Clinic

"Is there a risk, a real risk? No matter how small it may be." Peter asked, sitting in the chair in front of Adam's desk.

Gwen observed his concerned expression from the seat next to his.

Adams finished looking into his medical record. He looked up to Peter and replied, "I believe that Gwen could have a standard pregnancy, we could have a slight risk here due to the genetic differences, but even then they might not be that important for the baby's development, nor your wife's. Every pregnancy has risks." He informed, resting his elbows on the desk in front of him. "What I can say for sure is that the baby will carry over your traits, one, two, or even all of them. They might not appear right away, or they might not appear at all, but they will be there. We surely will have to take a careful approach to your pregnancy, Mrs. Parker, just to be safe."

Gwen smiled at the news. She glanced at her husband who seemed calmer. She moved her hand close to his as they intertwined fingers. He turned his head to her side and received a warm smile.

Peter spoke, "So my abilities would be carried over then…"

It wasn't really what Peter wanted his child to be awarded, but that wouldn't stop his and Gwen's plans for their future.

"Very likely." Adam's confirmed, "We already can manipulate genetics but that's something that isn't fully grasped yet, but trying something in your case might be extra risky and even fatal. My recommendation is to carry this pregnancy just like any other, we'll just be even more careful with it."

Gwen smiled. "Just being able to go ahead with this is already enough for us,"

The baby earning Peter's gifts would just turn him or her even more special than they would already be.

"We will be keeping a close eye during the pregnancy, please keep me updated on everything that happens."

"We will," Peter smiled, raising his hand as they complimented each other. "Thanks, Doc, this means a lot for us."

"Happy to help. Keep in touch."

After having dinner, the couple decided to take a calm stroll at Central Park. It was close to their apartment. Peter had an arm wrapped around Gwen's waist as she rested her head on his right shoulder.

"What do you want?" Peter asked, caressing the soft skin of her stomach with his hand found underneath her blouse. "A boy… or girl?"

Gwen looked to the river on their left side as they crossed the now empty bridge made of gray stone. "Well, I have no preference at all." She smiled kindly.

"Really? Then I suppose junior has your approval?" He teased.

Gwen laughed. "Junior? I think one Peter is enough." She kissed his cheek and snaked an arm around his back.

"You think? Imagine how awesome it would be, my own minion! "

"You're losing your mind, honey." She chuckled, amused.

"Just wait and see,"

They walked over a path full of trees on their sides. He unwrapped his arms around her and walked towards a rather tall one, leaving his wife wondering what he was up to.

"What are you doing now?" She asked, seeing him crouching in the grass and picking something that was hidden behind the tree.

Peter raised from the grass and slowly walked back towards her. His hands were hidden behind his back.

He approached Gwen. She was still trying to find out what he was hiding from her.

"Well… only the best for Gwen Stacy Parker." He revealed a bouquet filled with red roses that he had hidden behind the tree with some webbing before they went to meet at Adam's Clinic. "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Gwen widened her eyes at such perfect flowers "They are beautiful." She touched a small one with the tip of her finger and looked at her husband. "You really are the cutest, aren't you?

He handed her the roses. "Did you like it, though?"

"Of course I do, I loved it. Thank you." She leaned up and softly captured his lower lip as Peter moved a hand on her back and brought her closer to his chest. "You're full of surprises. I wonder how nobody stole them first."

"My bad luck is finally turning around."

March 29th - 2020

Gwen entered their living room, and she arrived nervously. This was what she had wanted for so long, what Peter wanted as well, but that couldn't stop her from being a little scared. She clutched the test in both hands, the test that would reveal the most important moment in their lives as a couple.

Peter himself was sat on the carpeted floor, selecting some photos he had taken for the Bugle. It was cute to see how dedicated he was to the side job.

He looked up to her as she approached, lowering the camera he was gifted down into the floor and together with the photos.

"What's wrong? You seem different." He stood up, closing the distance to her quickly.

"There… there isn't any problem… actually." She caught his hands in her own, placing the test in his grasp. He studied it for a second before meeting her eyes. "It's… positive, Peter. We are… having a baby."

There was silence for a few tense seconds, prompting Gwen into worry, but then Peter was a blur of emotions. He placed his arms around her waist, lifting her straight up. She laughed as she hooked her legs around his back, his lips racing over her neck.

Then he dropped on his back onto the rug on the floor, a wide smile on his face as Gwen got onto all fours on top of him.

"Well… I take it you're happy?" She smiled.

His response was physical at first, gently flipping her over so she was lying on her back on top of him. Gwen felt his hand gently move over her – for now – perfect stomach, massaging slowly.

"I'm more than happy…! This is… our baby…" His voice was very quiet as if a whisper would destroy the peace they found themselves in. "I love you so much, you're everything to me."

"I love you too..." She paused, playing with his fingers on top of her belly. She had to get used to the fact that a tiny human would be developing from her belly over the months, their child.

She began to grin. "You know what this means?"

"We're pregnant?"

"Well, obviously," She turned her head so their eyes could meet, now with a devious grin. "It also means… you have to pamper me for the next nine months, to do my every wish."

"I already do that, don't I?"

"Oh you're very good, I will admit that," Gwen twisted in his arms, placing a chaste kiss on his lips and fluttering her eyebrows."But you have to satisfy every single desire I can come up with."

Peter moved his hand down her back and stopped at her buttocks, gripping them tightly. "Hmm… do you got any burning ones right now?"

She bit her lips. "Hmm, I can think of a couple… here on the floor…"

A/N: So it begins. I've always wanted to write this chapter since day one. The story was supposed to start with a chapter like this. Let me know what you guys thought about it, no matter how short they might be, any words are always inspiring.
