Hey everyone!
I honestly didn't mean to take this long to update! I have been so busy and it's not even a lie. I do however love reading all of your reviews and already have the next few chapters planned out. You had a few questions about the story line, but I can't answer them because I don't want to ruin it, but things will get a little crazy in the story. I mean, it is Spiderman after all. Things will not be normal.
Thanks!

"Gwen?" Peter called as he climbed through the window out of breath.
Gwen awoke with a start as she heard a thump. "Peter?"
"Haha yeah... it's me," Peter said as he sat down on the bed.
"Peter! You're covered in blood," Gwen said as she began to get up.
"Relax it's just a scratch," he said as he tried to reassure her.
"Let me clean in up," she said as she got up and began to dig through her suitcase. Within seconds she had a first aid kit in her hands. "You're going to have to get changed Pete."
"Already on it," he said as he got up. In a minute he was out of his suit and into his pajama pants.
"Come and sit, you can tell me what happened while I fix this," Gwen said as she sat on the bed and pointed to the cuts across his chest.
"Alright," Peter said
as he sat down facing her. "I went down to times square. This creature... it seemed almost inhuman. I don't even know what it was. The worst thing was that at first, the people though that it was me."
Peter flinched as Gwen started to clean the wound. "Sorry Peter," Gwen said as she wiped it one last time. "We're almost done."
"It's ok," Peter said.
Gwen suddenly stopped bandaging him looked away as she covered her mouth and nose with the back of her hand. She took a deep breath.
"Gwen are you okay?" Peter asked, sounding alarmed.
"It's... I'm fine. I think it's passed. Apparently carrying a spider baby is going to make me very nauseated," Gwen said as she looked at the floor and smiled.
"I'm sorry," Peter said as he rubbed her back. "How was your day?"
"It was good. I was planning on looking for a job tomorrow. Do you think that is still safe?"
"I think it's a good idea. I need to be out protecting the city, and I can keep a better eye on you that way. If my new "friend' doesn't know who I am yet, it is best to keep it that way and go about our normal routine... or as normal as it can be."
Gwen yawned. "Alright, well it's 2 am. I need some sleep."
"Alright. I can finish this. Thank you," Peter said. He threw out the gauze pad and swabs. Just as he turned around to say goodnight to Gwen he noticed that she as already asleep. Carefully, he got in bed and pulled up the covers. "Good night my love," he said as he kissed her forehead and turned out the light.
It was 9 am and Gwen found herself walking down the streets of New York City. She stopped to look up at the sky to look for a sign of Peter when someone bumped into her.
"I am so sorry," the woman said as she bent down to pick up Gwen's bag.
"It's fine really. I-" Gwen began as she looked down and saw a familiar ginger looking back at her.
"Gwen Stacy. Is that really you?" the young girl asked as she handed her the bag.
"Mary-Jane Watson?" Gwen asked. "Is that really you?" M.J. nodded. "I've missed you so much where have you been?"
"I've missed you too! I've actually been acting. I am currently working on a Broadway show. What brings you here?" she asked, wondering why the smartest girl in her class was walking around alone.
"Well, it's a long story that begins with Peter," Gwen said as she tried to hold back a smile.
"Really? You need to tell me," M.J demanded like a typical school girl.
"I haven't really told anyone aside from family so this stays between us," she began. M.J. nodded, eager to hear the story.
"We started dating just before senior year. I was working for Oscorp, and Peter was a photographer. The plan was to go to university this year, but it might be on pause because Peter and I are expecting. I didn't want to be a young parent, but now that it's happened I just can't bare the thought of adoption or abortion. Peter is looking for a second job and I am looking for a new one. I cannot be at Oscorp. I almost died there one a few occasions," Gwen said as she rushed through her story.
"My, my Gwen Stacy. I didn't not expect that from you. I would love to help you out though. We are always looking for help backstage. I can get you a job. It would just be running some things backstage."
"That would be amazing," she replied.
"Alright then. I was actually on my way there. You can come with me now if you'd like."
Gwen smiled at her and the two were on their way.
Peter watched the two walk off together and smiled. Although he found it weird for Gwen to be with his childhood best friend, he was happy, because for the first time in a long time, it looked like Gwen was making a friend. Peter wanted that for her.
I had to bring in M.J. I felt like this story would really lag if they never had any friends.
