Norman Osborn and his son, Harry, had always been distant from each other, Norman was the founder and CEO of OSCORP industries, the company focused on briinging in new technology, including everything from TV's to weapons for the military. Norman got married soon after he created the company, but when his wife died when Harry was only six years old, he was too focused on his company and lust for power to care for his son, so he sent him to a boarding school untill he was eighteen.

Harry didn't come home very often, mainly because the school was at the other end of the country and the school only let out for a week during Christmas and six during the summer. Due to him having no one to take care of him when he would get hurt, cheer him on when he'd win a game, or listen to him when he cried, Harry eventually fell into a deep depression; which led him to become addicted to heroin. He tried to stop multiple times but his depression would only get worse. His addiction eventually became sever enough that he had an OD and was declared legally dead for three hours.

Peter and Harry had been best friends since they went to pre-school together. They were practically inseparable, even after Peter moved in with his aunt and uncle. Although, that all changed when Harry was sent to the boarding school. They tried to do stuff together during the summer but Harry's father started sending him to summer camp when he turned 10, they would hang out even less when Peter started dating Gwen, and Harry with Mary Jane Watson.

Norman was always power-hungry; he pictured himself as a king, a king who's reign would never end. He was ready to do anything to be on-top, weather it was buying out other companies, or hiring someone to make his competitors "go away". When he found out he had cancer, he couldn't bare the thought of someone else running his company, especially his own son. He thought of Harry as nothing more than a bolder, a bolder that stood in the way of his success.

Harry used to always try to be a good son to Norman, he tried to prove that he could handle his father's legacy, but his attempts were never successful. Even when he'd get all A's at school or when a game, his father didn't care. Eventually, Harry decided that he wanted nothing more to do with Norman and began to shut him out of his life for good. The transition was hard, but Peter and MJ were always there to support him.

Harry and MJ got married at 19, he proposed to her the night after Peter and Gwen's wedding; the two of them had briefly talked about marriage before, but they both said that they should at least finish collage before they got married. MJ didn't know that the reason they were having the conversation in the first place was because Harry had just bought the ring. On the night that he proposed, Harry took MJ to the restaurant where they had their first official date; part of him thought that MJ knew about his intentions, but when she saw the ring, she looked as if she had just won the biggest jackpot in history. She practically screamed "YES".

"Mr. Osborn, we're ready for you downstairs" Norman's assistant said. Norman had since lost the use of his legs due to the cancer, which left him confined in a wheelchair. Once Norman reached his destination, a group of scientists approached him. "Mr. Osborn, we found a cure for you."

"We might've found a cure for you, Mr. Osborn." the doctor said, with a hint of triumph in his voice. "we've created a serum which could terminate all of the cancer-cell in your body." the doctor continued.

"How exactly does this work?" Norman said, curiously.

"Well, the serum was created in order to keep the body in perfect health for many years, the serum helps the body create antibodies which could make you completely immune to disease and most injuries; we're calling it 'the goblin serum'."

" when will this be ready?" Norman asked, "within the month." the doctor replied. The one dream that Norman had always hoped would come true had seemed unreachable; now it was close enough that he could practically touch it, the one dream he always thought he deserved: immortality.

(Peter's pov)

I woke up on Saturday morning, to the sound of Gwen typing on the computer. For the past six months, Gwen had been working on getting an online degree so that she could get a job as a teacher. Initially, I thought she was kidding, but she told me she was serious. I can still remember the conversation.

A few weeks after she left Oscorp, the two of us went out to dinner to celebrate our first anniversary. "Pete, there's something I need to tell you" Gwen said, with astern voice. "What, are you secretly a guy?" I replied, sarcastically. "Oh yeah, I was suprised you didn't figure it out when I had to push George out of my ass when I gave birth to him." Gwen said, trying, unsuccessfully, to replicate a man-voice, we both laughed.

"As I was saying, the main reason I left Oscorp wasn't just because I wanted to take care of George. I want to be a teacher." Gwen said "Are you sure, and what made you decide this anyway?" I replied, curiously.

"I don't know, my mom did it for 15 years, and it was kinda nice having my mom as my teacher, and I think George would like it too." Gwen said, with a smile forming on her lips.

"Sounds good, and I could try to work around my schedule so that I could stay home with George, pluse I'd be banging a teacher." I said, making Gwen chuckle. "So, what happens now; are you planning on going back to school?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm gonna try and get a degree online so that I don't have to worry about George." Gwen replied.

"okay, I'm sold, and don't worry, I'll take time off to help with George." I said "OH MY GOD, thank you, thank you so much!" Gwen said, throwing her arms around me. The two of us spent the rest of our vacation making plans for Gwen's dream career, neither one of us had been this excited about planning things out since we found out Gwen was pregnant.

Gwen was typing fast enough on her computer that she didn't notice Peter waking up, untill he turned her chair around to where she was facing him.

"hey" Peter whispered

"hey" Gwen whispered back.

"You know, I don't have to work untill Tuesday, and you can work on your school stuff anytime." Peter said

"What did you have in mind, bugboy?" Gwen asked, playfully

"Well, I was thinking we could go to Vermont for the weekend, just the three of us, and we can take George out of the city for the first time." Peter answered. "I'm in" Gwen said, after thinking it over for a few seconds.

The three of them left that afternoon, and drove off to their first vacation as a family.
