A/N: So, this is a chapter with a little of everything. I wanted to focus a little more in Peter and Gwen moments and their friends, but of course, Elizabeth doesn't get any less parts. Also, I wanted to make it clear that the integration with the MCU doesn't mean that the story will have less of Peter and Gwen. For the contrary, my objective always was to write the many stages of their relationship over the years. My focus won't be in other characters. Some are going to get more content as the story progress, but nothing excessive, after all, this story is based on a comic book movie.
There should be at least two more chapters for this year. I'm going to take a break at the middle of December and I will be returning in January. Hope everyone likes this chapter and till the next one. Thanks again!
April 17th - 2021
"C'mon Liz, open wide," Peter moved the spoon in front of Elizabeth's mouth, pushing it lightly against her lips. Her mouth stayed stubbornly shut however, she even began to tilt her head away from it whilst giving him a cold glare. "Seriously, eat it. Please?"
He still had no luck so he pulled the spoon back with a frown, trying to come up with a plan. The baby was very stubborn about eating her food whenever he tried to get her to eat, even Gwen struggled to get her to eat on occasions. It often took a lot of coaxing before she would try even one mouthful, though Peter couldn't blame her – the food smelt rather disgusting.
"Please Liz, for my sake just eat a little bit," He got a grin in reply. "Honestly, your mum will be really annoyed with me."
He tried to push the spoon against her lips once more, but again Elizabeth wouldn't accept it. She screamed rather noisily and banged her arms on the table of her high chair in protest, prompting Peter to sigh in resignation and drop the spoon again. He reassessed the situation once more, clearly pleading wouldn't work.
"Right Elizabeth, if you don't eat this food then I'll...I'll...erm.." He scratched his head, what could you do to threaten a baby? It wasn't as if he could ground her or anything. "I'll take away your plushy toys!"
Elizabeth looked him dead in the eyes, widening her own green eyes whilst pouting her lips. Peter's heart melted at the sight, it was rather cute.
"I didn't mean that Liz, sorry." He lowered the spoon in resignation, about to chuck the food away, but then he had one final idea.
"How's about this?" He raised the spoon up a third time, but instead of going straight to her mouth he zigzagged it around in the air in front of her. Her eyes followed the spoon but they quickly flicked back onto Peter as he made swishing noises before darting the spoon at her mouth. "Here comes The Amazing Spider-Man! "
He did get a smile but she still wouldn't open up for him. He sighed and placed the spoon on her little table pinching the bridge of his nose with one hand. He closed his eyes for a second, but reopened them when he heard a thumping from Elizabeth's table.
"What?" His mouth hung open as he saw Elizabeth gripping an empty spoon with a wide smile. She had missed narrowly, with a bit of food spread around her lips, but she had successfully fed herself. His mouth was still agape when he heard chuckling behind him.
"That was just hilarious," Gwen approached the two at the dining room table, giving Elizabeth a wide smile and seating herself down the other side of the high chair. "That was being officially outsmarted by a half year old baby!"
"Yeah," Peter rolled his eyes. "That's makes me the third most intelligent person in the apartment."
"Erm, fourth actually," Gwen grinned at him as she carefully cleared the mess around Elizabeth's lips with a cloth. "Ren studies quantum physics when you're not looking."
"I knew he has a bit of a shifty look about him sometimes." Peter dead panned in response.
"Someone is a very clever girl though."
"Rather too clever if you ask me!" Peter cocked his head at his daughter. "I really wasn't expecting that."
"She has been watching us eat, she's only copying what we do," Gwen stood back up, giving Elizabeth a kiss on the cheek. "Maybe she needs to start eating at meal times with us more regularly, obviously she may want snacks in between. Also, I think we should start giving her a drink with food as well, water obviously."
"Sure, I guess that's a good idea."
"And it has to be in a normal cup, not one of those ones with a no spill lid," Gwen shook her head. "They have those silly nozzles that aren't brilliant for teeth development, plus she needs to learn to drink properly."
"Yeah, you asked me to buy some normal plastic cups the other day."
"And we should drink the same stuff from the same cups in front of her, so that she can copy us. That's how she'll learn the best."
"Yes Gwen," Peter stood up, placing his hands on her waist. "Chill out, seriously. There's no need to worry so much."
"I know that, I just want to get things right – for her to have the perfect environment, opportunities, and lifestyle to grow up in," Gwen sighed. "I just want to be a good mother, you know?"
Peter rolled his eyes. "Listen, you are a fantastic mother – the best. You're so good with Liz, it's obvious to anyone that she adores you. And you adore her."
"Yes, but that isn't enough you know."
Peter pressed a quick kiss to Gwen lips, pulling back with a smile. "We already talked about this, I know that you sometimes worry too much, but you don't need to with this particular aspect, you love Elizabeth, she loves you for a reason, and that love exists because of your actions, you're a perfect mother."
"Why are you always so fantastic? And thank you for saying these things about me," Gwen placed her arms around his neck. "Though there is one other thing."
"Which is?"
"Well maybe it's time that Liz moves into her own room, she's more than old enough," Peter was about to open his mouth to object but Gwen beat him to it. "I know you love having her in the bedroom and I love too, but she really needs to be able to sleep alone."
"Really? Do we have to do that so soon?"
"Yes," Gwen gave him a grin. "There are perks to it, you know?"
"Oh?"
"Absolute privacy..." She winked.
"Hmm, that's an intriguing thought," Peter grinned in return. "Just you and..."
He was interrupted by a scream from Elizabeth, both of the pair turning to face her. She was smiling happily at them, clearly pleased to have gotten their attention.
"Excuse me!" Gwen spoke to the baby in a scandalised tone, raising an eyebrow. "You should let your parents give each other some attention now and then!"
Elizabeth let out a little giggle like sound in reply before turning back to the spoon on her little table, picking it up and whacking it onto the surface several times. Peter made to go towards her and stop her before she hit herself. He picked his daughter from the seat and gently placed her on the floor since Ren had just entered the kitchen and she always loved to play with him. "Here's your buddy."
"You know that there's a very special date coming, right?" Gwen asked, leaning her butt against the counter and observed her husband washing Elizabeth's spoon in the sink besides her.
"Hm?" Peter frowned.
"You don't remember it? Really?" Gwen was now rather annoyed at Peter who couldn't remember the such special date that she was talking about.
"Okay, we are at April and the next month is May...oh!" He cleaned his hand with a towel and turned to his wife.
Gwen smiled. "Yes!"
"I know, I have to cover this event at Horizon Labs for the Bugle." He sighed.
"What?! No!' She groaned is discontentment, giving him a cold stare. "You're sleeping with Ren, tonight."
Peter laughed and slowly approached his furious wife. He gently placed both hands on her waist, pushing her against the counter. He leaned his head down to her neck, softly kissing the smooth skin. "I know what you're talking about, He whispered and ascended the trail of kisses, stopping just besides her lips. "Our wedding anniversary."
"God! You're such a dork!" Gwen exclaimed, realizing that he was just messing around with her during all the time.
Peter looked to her green eyes. "Heh,I wouldn't forget such date." He connected his lips with hers and passionately kissed them as she snaked both arms around his neck.
After some seconds of just slowly enjoying each other lips, Gwen finally broke to recover her lost breath. "It feels like ages,though."
"It's been almost ten years that we're together," Peter said with a huge smile. "Couldn't bring myself to let you go alone to England."
"I never forget that day on the bridge." Gwen affirmed, reliving such loving memories when Peter expressed on his own way how much he loved her with the enormous 'I Love you' written with webbing. "You really messed with my feelings."
"That was the goal." He gave her a tiny peck on the lips. "I could do that again if you want, as the anniversary gift, or I could arrange a meeting with the Spice Girls since you love them." They would properly celebrate the special occasion when they had free time in July, even if it wasn't the exact day. But till then, he would just tease his beautiful wife.
Gwen giggled. "That would be really awesome, but you don't have to go that far."
"Okay, I could then persuade the owner of that Korean meatball restaurant to sell me the place-"
"Oh, stop!" She interrupted her husband with a deep and grateful kiss that lasted for a few couple of seconds before a little girl supported herself by standing up and holding in Peter's left knee.
"Dada!"
Peter broke the kiss and looked down to his daughter with a surprised face. "Did you...just say something?"
Elizabeth smiled and concentrated again "D-Da..Dada!"
"Oh, darling!" Peter unwrapped his arms around Gwen and leaned down to grab his daughter into his arms. He softly kissed her cheek and turned back to Gwen. "She just said her first word."
Gwen smiled and caressed Elizabeth's cheek with her thumb. "Not exactly a word."
Peter looked to Liz and asked, "Who's this beautiful woman?" He pointed towards Gwen with his eyes.
Elizabeth frowned, thinking. "Ma- Ma..Mama!" She giggled and raised her small arms towards Gwen as her mother slowly retrieved her from Peter's arms.
"Okay...can you say Dada-Man?"
Gwen laughed. "I think that is too much." She softly kissed Elizabeth's cheek as she curiously analyzed her mother's golden wedding ring. "I'm gonna change this cutie before we go for a walk." she smiled, approaching Peter and quickly kissing his warm lips.
June 10th - 2021
"You're really taking your time Gwendy."
Gwen shook her head at him as she bent down and grabbed a brown handbag that matched perfectly with her favorite chocolate colored leather jacket and shin high boots. Peter gave a sneaky peek to her behind that was clad in skin tight jeans, grinning smugly. Gwen noticed his glance and shook her head a second time.
"Well you don't seem to mind that," Gwen straightened up to look in the mirror, tousling her hair into a satisfying position. "And I always have to look good."
"You're going shopping with my Aunt, your mother and MJ, I don't think they mind," Peter grinned. "Besides, you always look mind blowingly gorgeous."
"Flatterer." Gwen slung her arms into the jacket as she began to head out of the bedroom and entered the empty hallway. Peter following her from behind.
"So, are you buying me a present today?"
"That would be telling." Gwen looked back at him with a wink as she headed towards Elizabeth's bedroom to check if she was there.
"So that's a yes?" Peter sped up, coming up behind and wrapping arms around her waist to slow her pace. He pressed a couple of kisses to her neck, getting a giggle from Gwen. She soon stopped laughing as she noticed the knowing stares from May and Mary Jane, who was carrying Elizabeth, in the hallway's entrance, her face flushing with embarrassment.
"Peter, stop it!"
That was when he looked up, though unlike Gwen he wasn't that much embarrassed. "Sorry."
"Oh, don't mind us," MJ jiggled Elizabeth in her arms with a mischievous grin. "We'll watch the show."
"No you won't," Gwen crossed her arms defiantly. "MJ, that's rather private"
"You mean your sexy life..? Ha!" MJ let out a short bark of laughter. "Good one Gwendy."
"Glad you think that's amusing," Gwen shook her head as she took Elizabeth out of MJ's arms, smiling happily. "Now Liz, make sure daddy doesn't misbehave."
Elizabeth grinned and giggled loudly, prompting smiles from everyone.
"Nawr, she's just so cute," MJ cooed. "But when is she really gonna start talking?"
"Hopefully not for a while," Peter joked. "Once she starts talking, she starts talking back."
"That's a downright lie, you said the other day that you wanted to hear her talk!" Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Well, I've heard that babies that learn to speak later learn much quicker," May shrugged mid point. "Of course I don't know for certain."
"There is some truth in that," Gwen continued "Mom told me that Howard didn't begin until later on, but he knew at least some words after seven months "
"Oh, Peter was the opposite," Now it was Peter's turn to blush at his Aunt words. "He started really early on, about six months old, but he didn't know any words except one until several months later."
"I'm curious," Gwen raised an eyebrow tenuously. "What was the word?"
"Because of Richard's work, he said 'Spidey' "
After a second of silence the two Parker's and MJ broke out into fits of laughter. Peter shook his head as he took Elizabeth off Gwen, not finding it so funny. After the women had begun to calm down he decided to speak.
"Right, if you're going shopping I suggest just going." Peter headed over to the door, giving them a disapproving look. They walked over to him, all gathering jackets and coats with grins. His Aunt clapped him on the shoulder as she headed out into the elevator hallway, followed by MJ who gave him a smile and a wave, and lastly Gwen who gave a quick kiss to him. He watched them get into the elevator before heading around to the living room and stand in front of the window, waiting for the car that they were going to use get out of the garage.
When they were out of sight he retrieved his phone from his jeans and sent a message to his chat group.
We are a go.
One hour later...
Peter opened the door to let the group of friends outside the apartment to enter his apartment. The first to pass through the door was Flash, the athletic guy and one of his oldest friends, walking in with a large box in his arms. He nodded at Peter as he passed.
"Pete."
"Hey Flash, good to see you," He was followed by Eddie who pulled off his thick coat. "Sup, Eddie?"
"Hey Peter," Eddie greeted "I got something for you." He passed Peter a large dusty bottle, filled with an amber liquid. "Pure Scotch whiskey, matured for thirty four years. Should be a cracker."
"Guys... I can't drink that much, I have to take care of my sleepy daughter." He turned to the next person in line who was taking off his jacket as well.
"That's why her Uncle came." Howard shook his head, gesturing extravagantly. "I can regulate things around here. " He continued with a cocky smile.
"Just what I wanted to hear," Betty dead-panned as she followed him in. "Hey Pete." She leaned up in her boots and kissed Peter's cheek.
"I'm glad you came."
"Needed to clear my mind after such stressful day at the Bugle." Betty said as Ren approached her, placing her paws on her legs to support himself. "Aww, I love your pug." She kneeled and caressed his soft skin.
"The volume of drool that Ren produces could cover the Sahara in an ocean." Howard joked.
"Stop being mean to my dog..." Peter cut him off, clapping both Betty and Howard on their shoulders. "It's not his fault, that's just how he is, how he was born and raised. As with people, you shouldn't judge him on how he was born, on what's natural to him."
His brother-in-law chuckled. "I'm sorry man, you know that I love Ren," He patted his shoulder. "C'mon."
They headed into the dining area of the kitchen where Flash had all ready begun to prepare the table. He had a green felt sheet that was inside the box, now covering the table neatly. In the middle was a metal briefcase, full of glass Poker chips. The set was Flash's favorite, a rather unique set from Spider-man collection.
"Really, Flash?" Eddie smiled, he knew how much his friend is a big fan of the webhead.
Flash looked up. "Hey, he's awesome." He winked and proceeded to prepare the game.
They all drew up chairs around as Flash begun to separate the chips into even piles, passing them around the table. Peter pulled out a set of eight tumblers, also a rather fancy group of antiques, setting them down in front of Eddie who proceeded to fill them up with the Scotch.
"Right, how high are the stakes?" Howard asked.
"Well, as you know, normally I like to play rather high stakes but..." Flash turned to glare around at Peter, jerking a thumb at him. "He's here, and Peter will just clean us out as always...I need to be a genius.. " He sighed.
"You're going to get there bud " Peter grinned, he did have a knack for poker after all. He had spent many an evening cleaning out his friend back at highschool after they became friends. At first, he accepted Flash's invite just to experiment the game, now it was just for fun and to annoy his friends since they refused to play a high stakes game against him, mainly because he would claim all of their money. Though, there is one exception.
A couple of weeks after he had first gotten together with Gwen after the first break up. He had decided to do something new and invite her for a very different date at his Aunt's house. The couple had duelled most of the evening for ten dollars, and Gwen had totally destroyed him with, not one, but two Royal Flushes. In a row. It shocked him because she had never played since. After that, he went to tingle her to try and get the little money he bet back, but she didn't allowed, instead they snuggled on his bed while watching a movie, totally forgetting about his lost money to his , at the time, girlfriend.
"C'mon guys, If we keep on this pace, Oscorp will be fully bought by Horizon Labs and we won't even see the glorious party that the city will do. " Howard joked, he and most people were grateful that Oscorp was finally erasing itself from the existence after the recent events that left a bad taste on everyone's mouth.
"That's understandable," Betty took a swig of whiskey before changing the subject. "By the way, mentioning Oscorp and Horizon Labs, what's all this about the new fusion reactor by Otto Octavious ? Jameson can't stop talking about it.
"It's a clean energy project project and a very good one. I read that Otto is a genius, worked for Oscorp and everything, he can pull it off, Horizon is supporting him." Peter replied.
"But what if-"
"Look, are we gonna play poker or not?" Flash interrupted Betty. "My girlfriend don't know a thing about poker, this is the night I've been waiting for."
"Right." Peter grinned as the ex military started handing out the cards. He had to fight to contain the grin as he received his hand – pocket aces weren't a bad way to start the evening with his closest friends. Almost everyone was there and he was happy for that. Though, for some reason he couldn't stop thinking about his first and only friend, Harry Osborn. Seeing the table full with his friends but knowing that there was one missing in a chair still was hard for him. But he wouldn't let these sad feelings get on his way and ruin the mood, he invited them for a reason. Have fun.
"Ow, come on!" A rather drunk Flash swore loudly as Peter collected yet another pile of chips. His winnings were growing with almost every other hand, as per usual, and every time he won only made his opponents more vocal of their disappointment. He was about to retort when he heard a little crying coming from Elizabeth's bedroom.
"Oops, better go and take care of my little girl." Peter rose from his chair, hurrying out of the room and upstairs quickly.
Entering her bedroom he headed straight over to her cot, scooping the crying and fidgeting the seven months old off the mattress. He placed her in his arms and bounced her several times, talking soothingly to her. As he did this he walked around her bedroom, looking around them. They had settled on creating what Gwen had called a neutral color scheme when they had moved Elizabeth into her own room a few months back, consisting of a honey hut theme and with matching furniture.
Soon Elizabeth settled down, heading back off to sleep. It wasn't often that she cried, and usually it wasn't for feeding or changing as Gwen had devised an almost clockwork routine for her. Liz's cries were usually just for attention, for someone to make a fuss of her. He placed her carefully back down in her cot, quietly creeping away. He almost made it to the door, but the crying started up again.
"All right, all right," Peter walked back over to the cot, picking Elizabeth back up again and gently caressing her back as she lay her head on his left shoulder. "Wanna play some poker with daddy? You can help me out, if we win, I'll let you hold my deactivated web shooter. " He kissed the top of her head.
He carried her out of the room, heading back to the dining room. As he entered, Liz was greeted by a series of smiles and ahhs, before Peter was greeted by a series of grins. He looked down at the table, nearly all of his hard won chips were gone.
"Oh, very funny guys," Peter gave them a disapproving glare. "Chips back, now!"
"Lets see about that," Eddie put on an exaggerated look of consideration. "Maybe you can win them back?"
"Maybe I will then," Peter sat back to his chair and with Elizabeth sat on his lap as she curiously eyed his cards. "Flash, deal. I've got work to do."
The next round of betting consisted of everyone checking, no one put any more chips down. Flash turned over the penultimate card, showing it to be a King of hearts. Again Peter kept his poker face on, not betraying the buzz that had began in his mind. Howard placed a bet down that was bigger than what Peter had left in his entire pile, meaning that he would have to go all in on the hand. It was a bit of a risk, if the last card wasn't at least heart then he didn't have a hand at all. If it was a nine of hearts it was a straight flush, and an ace of hearts would be a royal flush.
"Someone's gonna have a flush, maybe even a straight flush. Or even possibly a royal flush," Eddie grinned as he moved his bet into the middle of the table. "Peter, are you all in?"
"Hmm," Peter cocked his head to consider. He raised his cards to show them to Elizabeth, grabbing her attention. "What do you think Liz? All in? I can't exactly raise can I?"
He was about to move his chips into the middle when a high pitch, squeaky voice stopped him.
"Web shooter...all in"
Peter slowly turned his head to face his daughter, an amazed expression on his face.
"Liz, did you just speak?"
"Web...all in," Liz grinned at him before banging her hands down on the table. "Wraise."
"You spoke?" Peter gave her a quick kiss on the forehead before. He fixed her with a concentrated gaze. "Can you say daddy?"
There was a pause as she opened and closed her mouth several times, making a clucking sound, before trying to speak again. "Wraise, all...all in?"
"Well, she's not much help to you is she?" Flash managed to get out a sentence in-between snorts of laughter, like everyone else around the table. "Though, why web?"
"Shh Flash," Peter watched Elizabeth intently still. "Liz, say daddy."
"Wraise!" She shouted back at him, still with a massive grin.
"Hmm, we'll have to work on it," Peter grabbed his phone from his pocket, starting a video a call with Gwen. He looked around him at the others, giving them an apologetic look. "Sorry guys, I have to tell Gwen."
"No that's fine, go ahead." Howard replied as he slowly moved closer, Peter wondering what he was doing. He realized just in time. He was lunging for Peter's cards out on the table. Peter managed to grab them without losing Liz off his lap, grabbing the cards and placing them in a pocket with a grin.
"Nice try..." Peter paused as Gwen's face appeared on the screen on his smartphone. "Hey Gwendy."
"Hey, something up?"
"Yeah, just watch this. You won't believe it," Peter picked Liz up, turning her towards the screen. "Liz, are you going to speak for mummy?"
The almost one year old looked up at him with her deep green eyes, a questioning gaze meeting his own. He smiled encouragingly, inclining his head towards the screen. Elizabeth turned her head back to the image of Gwen, who had now been joined by MJ and May. She paused before speaking in a questioning tone.
"Wraise? Web shooter!"
"Wow, she spoke!" Gwen's face was filled with a huge smile, mirrored on the faces of the other women with her. "Though, we're gonna have to teach her her R's and...wait a second.."
"What?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Are you playing poker?"
Peter paused before replying, with a little trepidation. "What makes you say that?"
"Well, she said raise – that would be for poker. And also, looked behind you." Peter did just that, turning around to see the table in front of him and all the surrounding players. His phone's camera had a field of view of the entire room.
"Ah, yes. About that.."
"Peter, I don't begrudge you having some fun – enjoy yourself," Gwen smiled at him. "Just don't drink too much whiskey, you snore really badly if you do."
"Yes Gwen," There was a chorus of sniggers around the table which replied to with a glare. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah, I can't wait to get back now!" Gwen couldn't keep the grin off her face. "I'll see you both later."
"You gonna say bye Liz?"
Elizabeth looked back up to him before turning back to the screen. "All..in!"
"That's a new one," Gwen gave him a wink. "Love you."
"Love you too," Peter shut off the feed to a table of grins. "What?"
"Nothing" Howard chuckled. "All in?"
"Yes, all in."
"Right," Flash flipped over the final card, revealing an Ace of hearts. "Oh god, someone's definitely got the flush."
"Anyone got any last bets?" Howard questioned.
Eddie nodded. "Yeah, ten more"
"I'll match," Howard grinned. "What about you,Betty? "
"Aye, I'm matching," Betty moved his chips into the centre too, alongside the pile. " Howard? Show your cards."
"Three of a kind Jacks."
Howard grinned, placing his cards down. "But I've got three of a kind King's, sorry about that."
"Well, I'm sorry to both of you," Flash gave them all a wink as he placed down a pair of aces. "Three of a kind aces, someone was dealing very, very well!"
There was a series of exhalations around the table.
"Now Mr photographer, " Flash moved his hands over the pot in the middle of the table. "Will I be taking this pile?"
Peter placed his cards down on the table, a series of gasps and curses ran around the audience.
"Royal flush," He paused before scooping the pile towards him. "Thank you people."
"Oh just..." Flash paused. "Sh...fudge it."
Two hours later...
"Mmm, just there." Gwen moaned as Peter worked his fingers over her bare back. He was rather good with his fingers, regardless of where they were on her body. She was in his lap on their bed, only wearing her blue underwear, enjoying the attention she was getting from him. In fact, Gwen always enjoyed their 'snuggle' time in the late hours of the night.
"Uh-hu," Peter complied, circling one thumb on her particular pressure point underneath her right shoulder blade. "I better get something in return for this."
"Oh, you just might." Gwen replied softly as Peter pressed his lips to the back of her neck, moving her hair gently over one shoulder with his free hand. Then he moved both his hands around her torso, wrapping them around her waist whilst resting his chin on her shoulder. Gwen sighed in contentment.
"Did you bought my gift?"
"Yup, it's on the wardrobe" She replied as Peter turned his head to the wardrobe's direction, curious. "No peeking!"
Peter chuckled "Enjoyed your night?" He asked, kissing the soft skin of her cheek.
" A lot, " She replied leaning her head besides his. "You?"
Peter slowly ran a hand down her thigh. "Mine is not over yet" He whispered, flirting with his wife. "Did I ever told you how much beautiful you are?"
"Sometimes." Gwen teased. "I wouldn't mind hearing it again." She smiled.
"You're the most beautiful woman that exists, I love you so much." He whispered close to her ear. They were about to kiss again if a certain baby hadn't started crying for her parents.
Gwen laughed as Peter leaned on her neck. She stroked his now messy hair and said "Could you bring Liz here?"
"Yeah. Apparently, she doesn't want to sleep tonight."
"I know someone that used to leave me alone in bed in the middle of the night, not surprising at all.'
"Heh, you have point." He gave her a tiny peck on the lips before raising from the bed and heading towards his awake daughter room. This night would be a long one, but taking care of Elizabeth was something that they wouldn't ever get tired to do. Because with an amazing daughter, there are amazing parents.
