Avengers Compound:

Peter walked over to the bedroom door and shut it before returning to the bed.

"Baby, What is this?" He repeated,the test in his hand.

"A positive pregnancy test..." Molly said slowly

"A pos-" he stopped before he yelled

A positive pregnancy test? She was pregnant?

"Fuck fuck fuck." He thought.

How was he supposed to care for a child? Financially, he could handle. Emotionally? He didn't know how. He'd barely gotten the chance to know his father? What even was a dad supposed to do.

"Peter?" She asked nervously

He slipped his hand into hers.

"Positive?" He asked, he was trying to be excited but all that was coming to him was fear "You're pregnant?"

She nodded, shivering a little as the fan hit her. He grabbed the throw from the chair and draped it over her.

"You're mad." She said

He looked at her, confused.

"Mad?" He asked "I'm terrified! I have no idea how to be a dad but mad? No."

He pulled her close to him.

"Most of my life is shit." He whispered "Everyone I love dies. But you? You keep giving me more and more to fight for."

She buried her head in his chest. She was sniffling.

"Are you crying?" He chuckled

"No." She whimpered

He pulled her back, lifting her chin.

"Don't you dare cry." He said "I'm happy. I am. I promise."

He kissed her gently.

"Lay down. Rest." He said, grabbing his phone.

"Where are you going?" She asked as she laid down.

He smiled.

"To call Ned." He said as he pressed Ned's number on his speed dial list.
