Chapter 3: Sweet Child of Mine

"Peter?" Gamora called, walking onto the Milano only to receive no response.

She tried again. "Honey? I'm back."

As she walked further into the ship, she noticed the captain's seat fully reclined, where her husband was sleeping with their infant daughter held to his chest.

Gamora chuckled to herself before taking the baby in her arms, and kissing Peter on the cheek to wake him up.

"Nrgh…" He groaned, stretching his arms above his head. "What happened?"

"You and Aria decided to have a little nap." Gamora said, lightly bouncing the child in her arms.

Peter smiled at the sight of his two beautiful girls, as Gamora met his eyes warmly.

"This parenting thing's pretty sweet, huh?" He asked, reaching out his hand for Aria to grasp his fingers. Gamora chuckled, her gaze flickering from her daughter, who was squealing with joy, to her husband, who was gleaming with pride.

"Yeah." She responded with a grin. "It's not half bad."
