Chapter Fourteen

It had been a month since Lucy, Hayley and Remy had agreed to work on being a proper family, and it was working out pretty well – though the brunette refused to call Hayley mum (calling her by her name for several years was a hard habit to break) – and to make things easier she also called Remy by his name also.

"Peter hasn't come around recently" Hayley said as she placed dinner down on the table

"He's giving me some space so that I can deal with everything" Lucy sighed, she had missed the silver haired teen and talking over the phone only eased the loneliness she felt.

"That's not all you're thinking about it is petite?" Remy asked

"He said he loved me"

"What?" Hayley asked nearly dropping the plate she was holding before placing it on the table

"He thought I was asleep, said he loved me. I asked for space because of that and the whole parentage thing"

"Do you feel the same?"

"..." Lucy didn't respond but the blush that spread across her face was giving her feelings for the speedster away. Hayley just wrapped her arms around her daughter before whispering in her ear

"If you love him, don't let him go, if you don't feel the same way don't string him along"

"I should talk to him"

"Tomorrow Luce" Hayley smiled weakly as she sat down "Not the right time right now"

"Don't pout" Remy told his daughter as she played with her food instead of eating it "It's better you talking to him with a clear mind"

…..

As Lucy knocked on the door of the Maximoff house, she held her breathe until Wanda opened the front door.

"Hey stranger" the dark haired girl smirked as she stared at the brunette "Craziness died down yet?"

"Pretty much" Lucy smiled

"Peter's in the basement"

"Thanks Wanda" Lucy said as she headed towards the silver haired teenager, who was so absorbed in his game of Pong he hadn't noticed the brunette standing at the foot of the stairs. "Hey Peter"

"Lucy?" Peter gasped as he spun around so he was facing the brunette who was awkwardly shifting her weight from foot to foot

"Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?"

"That you love me"

"You heard me? Lucy I …"

"Did you mean it?" Lucy asked as she stood infront of the speedster

" 'tImeanitLucy? 'sthetrutheventhoughyoudon'tfeelthesamewaymyfeelingsaren'tgoingtochange" Peter rambled

"I love you too you idiot" Lucy interrupted as she leaned up and kissed the man, who kissed her back with all the pent up emotions he'd had since they broke into the Pentagon

"I love you" Peter whispered in the second that they separated for air.
