As our week long vacation wore on, we snorkeled, swam around the island, enjoyed the warm sun from under the canopy of the trees, and I showed the girls my bird sanctuary. They loved the island, and even more, the loved the chance to relax. Walter treated us like royalty at the club, which wasn't needed, as we were really the only ones there this time of year. I found May was being flirted at hard by him, and she responded okay to it, but I knew that she wasn't one to allow it if she wasn't interested.

Andrew had moved on. She told me as much after the second night, that he was seeing another woman. She wasn't upset. She had pushed him away, and there wasn't anything she could do to make that better. So, she was gonna move on. As much as she could after

On the last night, Wanda was spoiled with new lingerie. She blushed the whole time, but I knew she would find a use for even the most scandalous pieces.

As I flew us back, Natasha sat, staring longingly out the window, and then down at my stomach.

"Anytime you want to," I said, being vague on purpose.

"I think I do," She said, moving to gently touch my stomach. It had gotten harder over the last few weeks, and I now knew the signs to look out for. It was just like Helen said. We were getting closer over this, but I could tell Natasha was still feeling left out.

"Even after a week in Paradise, I still feel like I need a vacation." Nat said, rubbing her thumb over the hardness of my belly.

"Maybe it's because you couldn't drink either," I teased.

"You aren't, so how is it fair that I get to?" She responded, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Trust me. Sometimes, my children make me want to drink. I need to get you the coloring book my Dad found for me as a gag gift," I chuckled, "It's called 'Mommy Drinks Because You Cry.' Steve and Bucky found it hilarious."

"Oh, adult coloring books! Trip got me one last week, and it's so calming."

"Better than Tai Chi?" May asked, raising a brow at Daisy.

"Almost better," She smirked. I tuned everyone out for the rest of the flight, focusing on the sky and getting home to my babies. My mind wandered a lot, about my new job, how I would keep myself healthy for my godchild, and the fact I wouldn't see my family as often as I would like. Natasha sensed my mood almost immediately, and gently took my pinky with hers.

"Всегда и навсегда."

Smiling at her, I replied, "Всегда и навсегда."

As we touched down outside the base, I noticed walls already being lifted, and a temporary roof in place for the new SHIELD base. My horses were out in the field, enjoying a graze, and my kids were plastered to the inside windows, watching the Quinjet come to a stop in the hangar. I waved to them as I stepped out into the brisk November air, and they came barreling into the hangar, their Daddies on their tail.

"Hello my darlings! How was your week with Daddy and Dad?" I asked, as they gently hugged my neck.

"Great! We went to visit Grandpa and Grandma! And Daddy took us to the park there with Grandma, and we rode the carousel." Elijah said excited as I grabbed my bag and followed them to their Daddies.

"Really?"

"And Petey showed us his Spider suit, and we saw where Daddy and Dad used to live!"

"You took them to Brooklyn?" I asked, surprised.

"And Queens," Bucky smiled, kissing me sweetly in welcome.

"How do they like the Brooklyn apartment?" I smiled, kissing Steve.

"They loved it. Especially all the memento's I had stored there."

"No, I'm pretty sure they loved my suit the best," A voice said, making my head turn up as it was coming from the rafters.

"Little brother, come down here," I called out as the girls started looking up to see what I was talking to. A small chuckle was heard before I saw Peter swinging down swiftly to land beside me, "Hey sis."

"Wow…." I heard Darcy say and Peter turned to smirk at the ladies.

"What are you doing here?" I smiled, hugging him tightly.

"I thought about what you said the last time I saw you. It's time to move on," He sighed quietly. I put a hand on his shoulder and said, "We are here for you."

"Okay, we should gather the team for introductions. Whose turn is it for cooking tonight?" I asked, knowing it was mine. A chorus of male voices shouted, "YOURS," quite passionately.

"Boys, did you miss my cooking?" I teased, taking Peter's elbow and guiding him.

"ARSENAL, please call everyone to the common room. Meeting," I called towards the ceiling.

"Of course ma'am. It is good to have you back. I was advised against informing you that Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Odinson nearly burned down your kitchen. I advised them that I report to only you in regards to the kitchen's condition and wellbeing."

"Oh really? Wait, which Odinson?" I said, scared.

"Thor."

"Oh god, my baby!" I yelled, taking off with my children running behind me laughing. Joey came out of a hallway, not quite banking and running into the opposite wall, before shaking it off and bolting to my side as I came to a stop in the kitchen.

I took a deep breath, noticing a large scorch mark on the ceiling. Noticing that there was a bucket on the counter, and the distinct smell of fire extinguisher in the air, it was recent. Turning on my heel, I watched Thor grab Hunter by the collar and pull him down another hallway, away from my wrath.

"Angel, stay calm," Steve said softly, approaching me slowly. I narrowed my eyes at him, and said calmly, "Well, I would be calmer if I had been informed the minute it happened."

"It was this morning, and Thor got upset at the stove that it wasn't working. And when Hunter tried to help him light the gas like you're supposed to, it was on for a few minutes without flame. And then Hunter lost his eyebrows trying to put it out, but he grabbed oil, so that's what made it blow up even further."

"What idiot wouldn't think to turn the gas down? Or use OIL on FIRE for Odin's sake?"

"I thought it was a glass of water, not the oil drippings." Hunter said, as he approached the doorway. I quirked my eyebrow at him and he said, "It's the truth. It was all so fast that I didn't think to check what was in the container."

"Fine," I sighed, looking back at the damage.

"Take the damage from my paycheck," He said, and I realized he was being sincere. A former merc rarely offered up their money.

"No, I was aware that someone would damage my kitchen at one point," I said, "I'm just glad no one was hurt."

"Yeah, I'll look like a freak for awhile, but that's what I get for not thinking first," Hunter said as Bobbi examined his face for any other injuries.

"Now, everyone up to the common room." I said, making had come to see the scene, march.

"I have to let go," I whispered to myself before I took the kids hands, and motioned for Peter to follow me. Sending the kids to sit with the team, Callie running to Nat and Elijah to Pietro, I said, "Alright. So, you all know I am still remembering secrets that I've kept for years, some I forgot to mention. Some were big, some small. But what I wanted to tell you a while ago was that I have a brother from another mother," I explained gesturing to Peter.

"Peter Parker came under SHIELD's radar when he as still in high school. He was an exceptional student and the son of Dr. Richard Parker, formerly a scientist at Oscorp, before he and his wife disappeared in a plane crash."

"But Peter was special. He was destined to become a hero, and it wasn't until he was bitten by a crossbred spider that he discovered how his father really affected him. He was the only one that could get the powers he did."

"Holy shit, are you Spider-Man?" Daisy said, before I shot her a death glare, pointing to my children.

"Sorry," She mouthed, as a couple of the team smirked at her embarrassment. Peter stepped forward a bit and said, "Yes."

"You disappeared for awhile there. Where did you go?" Coulson asked, ever the Director.

"While I was battling the Green Goblin/Harry Osborne my old friend, my girlfriend, Gwen, she…"

"Do you need a minute? Or for me to tell the story?"

"No, I just… Gwen fell, and I didn't catch her in time. Either the sudden tension of my web… snapping he-" He cut off suddenly, clearing his throat as I gently touched his shoulder.

"Let's just leave it that, during the fight, she died from her injuries. It caused Peter to stop being Spider-Man to cope with his grief. I was there any chance I got to be in New York, and slowly, he got back to a place where he could take up the mantle again."

"With great power, comes great responsibility," He said, quoting his Uncle Ben as I squeezed his shoulder in comfort, "And I had a responsibility to the people of New York, to fight. To honor Gwen."

"And what better way to do that, than by joining us," I smiled, and turned to Steve. He was already nodding at me, and said, "You want to be an Avenger?"

"Ever since the Battle of New York, I knew that I was meant for something. To help in any way I could. Even if its just in the lab. If you guys want me, I'm in." Peter said, as we all looked to each other, a silent affirmation was sent to Steve from everyone, and he smirked.

"Let's see what you've got."
