Hey Everyone!
I really love your reviews. I get so excited to read them. I want to try to make the chapters longer and get a cover as the lack of one is starting to bother me. I am also SOOOO sorry for not updating. I've been thinking about it so much but it didn't happen. Thank you for staying with me and encouraging me. You guys all have some great ideas so thank you for that!

With her little brothers finally asleep in Peter's room, Gwen shut the door and quietly tip-toed down the creaky stair case and into the living room where Peter was reading on his cellphone.
"You sure you don't need any help in there?" Gwen called to Aunt May.
"No dear, I'm fine thank you. Dinner should be ready an hour."
Gwen sighed as she sat down opposite Peter on the couch and stretched out with her feet on his lap. She had to take work off for the afternoon to watch her brothers and tend to Peter. By now it was 3pm, and her back and feet hurt.
"Reading something interesting?" she asked Peter as she raised an eyebrow.
"Mmm?" Peter replied, not looking up.
"I said, READING SOMETHING INTERESTING?!" Gwen said as loud as she would dare to with her brothers sleeping.
"Quiet down in there! You'll wake up those poor boys," Aunt May scolded from the kitchen.
Gwen rolled her eyes at Peter who smirked at her.
"Will you cut it out? I'm not feeling up to this," Gwen said, the effects of today's events taking its toll on her body and mind.
"You know, you should have eaten me or at least bitten my head off by now- statistically speaking that is." He smirked and leaned back as Gwen smacked his shoulder with the back of her hand.
"You better pray that I don't bite you," she mumbled, holding back a laugh.
"You know, you two worry me sometimes," Aunt May said as she poked her head out of the kitchen.
"Sorry," Peter said as he tried to tickle Gwen.
"Peter! Peter stop!" she said as she began to laugh. "Seriously! STOP IT PETER!" Gwen said, clearly getting annoyed.
"Peter, why don't you take Gwen for a walk so I can finish dinner in peace?" Aunt May yelled from the kitchen.
"Alright!" Peter said. He stood up and turned around to face Gwen. He held a hand out to her and pulled her off the couch. "Why don't we go where I discovered and tested my powers, and see where you're at?" Peter whispered to her.
Gwen suddenly felt nervous but nodded and began to walk towards the door.
They walked just a few blocks when they stopped in an abandoned garage.
"This is it?" she asked.
"This is it. I needed a safe place. No one is ever here, sometimes it's a great place to just think," he said as he put his hands in his pockets and looked all around the room.
"I'm surprised you want me to learn more about potential powers," Gwen said.
"I was surprised but I realized that I want you to know how to use them and be able to protect yourself if you need to. That doesn't mean I won't be there, it just means I can know that you will always be ok."
"I promise to be safe. Where do we start?"
Peter thought for a moment. "Well, we know you have strength, or a really insane case of adrenaline."
Gwen smirked at him. "Lets test that out."
Before he could speak, she walked across the garage and lifted a broken car. "Well I guess that-" before he could answer, she through it across the room and it landed with a crash. "Gwen! Someone could notice that!"
"Sorry, I didn't think anyone would," she said as she bit her lip. "I mean, I was just proud because for once, I'm stronger than you."
"Say what now?" he asked, suddenly feeling competitive.
"Well, you know, generally speaking female spiders have more strength than male ones do."
"Is that a challenge?"
"For you maybe," she said as she poked his arm.
"Fine then," he said as he got under the car and started doing bench presses with it.
Gwen picked the car up with him hanging underneath it and then carefully placed it back down.
Peter crawled out amazed. "Gwen that was incredible! That was- Gwen? GWEN!" Peter cried as he saw her bent over with her arms around her stomach. "Gwen whats wrong, you need to tell me, are you hurting?" he asked, his voice full of panic.
Gwen looked up at him and relief washed over him as he realized that she was laughing. The tears streaming down her face were from something other than pain.
"You almost scared me to death! What is so funny?" he said as he pushed the her hair back behind her ear.
"Spiderbaby decided to sit on my bladder, and I think I peed myself a little!" she said, partially embarrassed. Peter burst out laughing. "It's not funny!" she protested.
"It is a little," he said. When he saw that she was starting to genuinely look upset, he gave her a big hug and held her there. He began to rub her back. "We knew this wasn't going to be easy. We're going to have to laugh at little, but know that I'm here, and we'll figure things out. I'll even get you adult diapers if you'd like."
Gwen pulled back from the hug to see him smirking at him, and she began to laugh. "Oh shut it!" She slapped his arm.
"There's the smile that I love. Let's go home, the rest of this can wait till another day."
"You won't tell Aunt May will you?" Gwen asked.
"Oh I absolutely will," Peter said.
"You're unbelievable."
