AN: I really made this story on a whim, though I have had this story running though my mind for a few years now. I guess I just decided to finely just post. I will say I doubt will have a solid time on my updates. I will say this chapter was being a real pain in ass writer's block, so the upcoming chapters will most likely come a lot quicker.

Facing The Past

In that moment time slowed down, Felicia, Peter and MJ all just stared at one another. While no words were spoken, endless questions were being put into thought.

"Why did she keep this from me, is this why she asked me to leave with her" from Peter

"What is going to happen now, the children have been the only thing I have had over her. She had it all, if she had told him I would have not stood a chance" from MJ

"Now that he knows what will happen to my babies" from Felicia

The tension in the air grew ticker by the second, had it not been for the kids who know what could have happened.

"Oh mommie Mary says she and Ben have a big pool, can I go swim there coon" said a very unaware Felicia Gwen Parker.

With that one sentence the three parents were broken out of their trance.

"Well sweetie it is up to Mary mommie if it is ok" said a still stunted MJ

Felicia Hardy was between a rock and a hard place, on the one hand her daughter had finally made a friend she liked enough to ask to come over, and Mary was always the shy one so this was a huge step in the right direction. On the other this was her worst nightmare come true, many a nights she had dreamed of seeing Peter and MJ show up at her door ready to take her beloved treasures, if it had not been for her brave little Benny she would have lost hours of sleep and now it was all happening just as she began to feel safe.

Somehow MJ managed to say

"I have to talk to Mary's mother about what would be a good time" said MJ as she nodded at the elder Felicia

After a return nod the former Black Cat replied

"I will have to look at the schedule" with a pause the elder Felicia looked at her daughter and finished with "don't forget you do start school soon so we would have to do in the next few weeks." With that Felicia reached into her bag and pulled out a small phone

"Anytime this week is good, after that I'm quite busy" said Felicia hoping that they were both too warped up in their work to visit

Though after hearing the twins had not yet gone to school Peter gain a sense of joy

"I can still take them to their first day of school" he thought "I have to find a way to convince Felicia let to me at least see them, now that I know of them I must do what I can for them"

"Well I'm free all though out the week, so I guess all we need to do is decide on a day" said a very eager Peter

Both Felicia and MJ were left stunned at Peter quick answer. Though unsure Felicia reached back into her bag and pulled out a small business card.

"He-here's my contact info" she managed to get out as she handed Peter the card

Peter and MJ's POV

Peter and MJ did not say a word to each other the in tier ride home, clearly afraid of what they might say. In this one afternoon their lives were changed forever. For MJ it was in her mind the last thing that was keeping Peter to stay with her, she knew he will still be around for the kids, but she was unsure of how she would fit into the picture. For Peter he had just learned of two little gifts he never knew he had, he felt like everything he thought he knew was all a lie, he had spend the past five years thinking about that day, until today he had all always thought Felicia just gave up in spite of knowing the Black Cat never quit.

After the kid were safely in bed Peter and MJ both sat at the kitchen table. They both stared at each other hoping that the other would be the first to speak. The tension had only increased by the second, each knew that this could very well make or break their marriage. Taking a deep breath MJ asked Peter as calmly as possible

"Are you going to leave me Peter"

Her question had left Peter stunned, after a few minutes of watching Peter's mouth open and close MJ asked

"Well Peter are you going to just sit there, or are you going to answer me"

A shaken Peter replied

"How can you ask me that after all we have been through MJ?"

Though she was sacred of losing Peter, she had to know and that meant laying out everything

"Peter I know you still care about her, I know you sometimes think of her when your with me and I know you dream of her more than you do of me. Now that we know she has children… YOU'RE CHILDREN, Peter I have to know are you going to stay with me and when I say "with me". I mean with me as your wife, not the mother of your kids, but as the woman you love and hold dear. Please Peter I have to know"

Peter remained silent unsure of what to say. Through his silence MJ found her answer,

"I want a divorce Peter; I can't be with a man who loves another woman." She managed to say as she began to cry

"MJ don't do this, I love you don't you know that" said Peter trying to sound reassuring

Mary Jane however was not convinced

"MJ right now I need some time to think this all over, if you could just give me a few days to get my head on straight"

Before she had a chance to reply, the police scanner went off. Shocker was robbing another bank and the police were having no luck pinning him down. With a sigh MJ look at Peter as if to say "we are not done here" but only said

"Just be safe"

With only a nod Peter made a quick costume change and moments later "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man" was web-slinging to the seen

Felicia's POV

After Felicia and her little silver-haired trouble makers were safely home, they watch "Push", practiced in the gym/dojo, and finally snuggled up in bed. Of all the things Felicia Hardy was thankful for, one of her top favs was unlike other kids their age her little twin were very fine sleepers. Even if Mary had one of her night terrors, her bother Ben would always be there for her. As a mother she was always so proud of her little boy. Of course with the kids soundly asleep Felicia had some time to herself, and with the kind of day she just had she really needed it.

As Felicia laid her on fine leather couch wearing only her nightgown and robe she reflected back on the day that had just made her life a giant headache. Her thoughts were so divided her head felt like it was playing tug of war with itself. After spending years telling herself she did the right thing, she now felt the pain of gilt flowing down her spine. The look on Peter's face told her how wrong she had been.

In spite of having two children with MJ, he still had a look of sheer joy in seeing her little ones. Part of her wanted to be happy about it, even though she that at best they could only be friends she was happy that they might be able to be close once again. While her other half was worried she might lose her children, if she lost them she did not know what she would do.

Deciding to take her mind off of what had happened that day by taking a late-night swim in her heated salt water pool. Since the kids were fast asleep she decided on a skinny dip would be really refreshing. It had been so long since she was able to just let herself be completely bare in the pool of warm water. She felt her stress melt away as the heated pool relaxed her muscles and joint. All of her worry seemed to wash away as her nude body glided through the small body of water.

After an hour of swimming on her sky deck she emerged from the pool of warmth, her flawless pale skin glissaded and sparkled in the bright light of the fool moon. As she walked over to the towel and robe she had set aside earlier; once she had the towel in hand she began to dry her goddess-like curves and ample features. As the cool night's wind blew she felt as free as an animal in the wild that gave her an amazing sense of joy. It was a sense of joy so great, it's only better was the joy she received from playing with her children. She smiled as she looked forward to the upcoming days, in her time thinking of only the bad of her predicament she had forgotten all of the good that could come from it.

Maybe if she and MJ could be friends, they could make each other's lives so much easier. Even though she loved her kids with all her heart they could be a hand full some times. Having another woman to back her up would be such a relief. Even better having Peter in the picture would mean her kids would have a father to look up to. The more she thought of about it, the more she found joy in it.

As she finished drying herself she heard the sound of someone landing on edge. With a quick spin motion Felicia prepared herself for a fight, losing her towel in the process. However instead of an attacker she found a shock Spider Man looking at her like it was the first time he had seen a naked woman up close.

Peter's POV

As Peter Parker remembered why he had come to Felicia's home tonight, he made a major noted to thank Eddie for convincing him to just meet with her. In the five years since he had seen Felicia she had managed to not only keep her figure but also gained more up top as well as a bit extra back side space. All he could do was stare at her, her beauty was just so breathtaking what more could he do. Felicia simply smiled as she reached down to retrieve her robe to cover her now dry body.

"Well Peter, are you going to say something or are you just going to stand there and enjoy the view." She said as she warped her robe around her body. Spidy let out a small sigh as Felicia "features" disappeared behind her towel. However with her "detracting spots" now covered he was able to remember why he came.

"Felicia I…. that is… If you will….uhhh"

As hard as he tried Peter, found himself unable to say that he was thinking of.

"How could you keep this from me" was one of the toppers along with "do they even know about me"

There was part of him that wanted to just rip into her about how hurt he felt, or how he was now in the middle of a bad fight with MJ because of what had happened today. Instead of anger or hate all he felt was pain. The pain of not being there to hear the first words of his son or even see the first steps of his daughter. The list went on but right now all he wanted to do now was see them, and maybe even hold them. Peter slowly pulled off his mask to look Felicia eye to eye, he had try his hard to let her know how much it hurt not being able to be near them.

"Can I see them" he managed to say slightly slurred from the booze "please Felicia let me see m…. our children" he continued as he fell to his knees. As he cupped his hands together into a begging pose, tears began to form from his grief.

Felicia took no joy in see him in so much pain. It all most made her cry seeing him like this.

"Why….. I thought MJ was the only woman you wanted to have a family with" she said without thinking. Her words stock herself as her hand quickly cupped her mouth.

All Peter could do in response to that was realize why she had never told him about the kids, why she was so hurt that fateful day all those years ago and most of all he realized all of the pain he must have put her through. All he could do was bury his face with his gloved hands. The shame of how he now felt was even worse than the pain; with those words he felt he was the greediest person on earth, after the pain he made her feel all of these years; who was he to ask of anything from her. All he wanted to do now was do everything in his power to fix what he had broken oh so badly.

"Peter I didn't mean that" said Felicia, as she quickly dashed over to him, warping her arms around him before he could even respond.

"Please do not leave! I'm sorry…. I'm so sorry it just came out" she continued as she tightened her embrace, afraid he would leave and never return if she let go.

With a sob Peter return the embrace, felling like he found something he did not know he was looking for in the first place.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, I have had that one coming for five years now" he said as began to stoke her hair. In that moment he realized their lives were going to be far more complex than before.

"What are we gonna do Felicia" said Peter as he continued to stroked her hair. "What are we gonna do"

When they had finished their embrace they walk down to Felicia's kitchen, opened the kids baby books as well looked though the photo albums. They talked about the kids, about their first steps, about their first words, and even the first laugh. Peter enjoyed every minute of it, the way Felicia talked about their little bundles of joy; it made him feel like he was right there with them. Even when Felicia slip that she taught them the art of con and way of thief; he still laugh feeling like the more he learn about his long lost little ones, the closer he to them.

As they talked they lost track of time, and before they realized it was one in the morning. With a sigh he began to call MJ to tell her where he had been. After a quick shouting contest he hung up the phone; with a sigh he turn to Felicia and asked with a slightly embarrassed chuckle.

"Uh mind if I stay here for the morning"

Felicia simply nodded as she showed him one of the empty guest bedrooms, as they made their way to said she told him there was a change of clothes ready for him. With a simple good night she left him to himself. As Peter looked around the room he noticed this one room alone was easily worth more than his whole house. As far as size went it was at the very least the size of both his along with MJ's master bed room and their kid's room combined. The furniture was also far beyond anything he could ever hope to afford. With a sigh he slipped out of his spidy suit and opened one of the dresser drawers. Again he was reminded of how little he made in comparison; even the pj were worth more than a whole month of his paycheck.

Just as Peter was falling to sleep he heard his door open. When he saw who it was he was shock to see his son looking back at him; the little white-haired stared back at him for a moment, before he walked up to Peter. He looked like he was ready for a fight for some odd reason and seemed to be a little on edge. However what said or rather ask next shocked Peter like never before…. Well almost never any way

"Are you my father?"

To say Peter felt godsmacked would be an understatement, with a deep breath Peter only said the one thing he could think of.

"Yes Benjamin I am your father"

As the two stared at each other, a weird chill flowed through the air as father and son truly met each other for the first time. Benjamin began to look angry and hurt.

"You really hurt my mother… I want to hate you for all of the pain you cause her… I want to say I can never forgive you for all you have done….. But mother… she says you're a good man, that it is her fault we don't know you…"

Peter could barely look at his son; the boy's every word felt like Wolverine was finally "gutting him like a fish". All Peter wanted to reach down and hold his son, say he would never again hurt his mother, tell him he was here to stay. But he did not know how the upcoming weeks were going to go. He just had another big fight with MJ and he did not even know how he felt about Felicia. Before Peter could say anything the boy pulled out a photo of him, MJ and their two kids. How he got the photo was something Peter felt he was better off not knowing.

"Is this why you left my mother… to be with them" said the young boy as he turned photo over to look at it with his own eyes "Does this mean Felicia and her brother ar.. are my sister and brother to" Ben continued as he looked back at his father. Peter could only look back at his son in shame "I will take your silence as a yes" he finished as he handed the photo over to Peter.

"Benjamin I'm as lost as your mother right now" said Peter as he looked down at the photo "as much as I love my wife I still love your mother. That is something I will never stop doing"

Before he realized it Benjamin had curled up next to him

"can I sleep here tonight fathe…daddy" said the boy with a weap

With tears of joy in his eyes Peter replied

"Of course son"

Unknown to the father and son, Felecia had seen the exchange; in the five years since she had her kids she had not seen a more beautiful sight. Not wanting to ruin the moment she sunk away to the room her daughter was sleeping in and snuggled into the bed with her.

"even if it's only for one night, I finally have my family" she thought as she fell to sleep with little girl next to her
