(3rd Person POV)
July 8th
Both Eliza and Peter had called Doctor Strange daily for about a month until he just stopped responding. He told them that he would call when he had any other news. He was working on it every day, trying every time and space equation he could think of, but it was hard when a bunch of teenagers were calling him all the time.
Eliza ended up staying at Mr. Stark's new lake house for a while, just to get away from the city and avoid thinking about Peter.
Her and Tony were working on updating EDITH a lot, adding all the essentials that a six hundred and eleven million dollar device would need. She just hoped that Peter would like it.
It was about five pm when a loud crash next to her head made Eliza sit up abruptly, waking up from a nap. She unstuck her tongue from the roof of her mouth, and scowled at the taste.
"Hey kid," Tony said.
"Hi Mr. Stark," she yawned.
He squinted at her and bended down a little, then unstuck something from her forehead. It was a key from the keyboard she fell asleep on.
"Wow, impressive. You know you drool in your sleep," he said.
"Mhm, okay. I'm gonna go brush my teeth." she said, ignoring him. She rolled back in the chair, and walked to the bathroom. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror, but quickly looked back down, because it wasn't a pretty sight to see. The bags under her eyes were a light purple shade, her lips were chapped, and there was a 'J' imprint on her forehead.
After brushing her teeth, she brushed her hair and put it up in a bun, just to get it out of the way.
When she got back out, Tony and Morgan were sitting on the couch, just starting a movie. Eliza had seen the movie once before, in theaters when it first came out. It was called 'Home.'
She sat down with the pair on the couch to watch it. Halfway through, Tony said that he needed to do the dishes and left Morgan in a jumper next to her.
When the movie was over, Eliza was full on sobbing, the tears running down her face like a waterfall.
Morgan just looked up at her with her big brown eyes, her small fingers in her mouth and a trail of spit falling on her chin. Her chin started to wobble watching her cry.
"Oh no, baby it's okay. It's just a sad movie." she said, then picked Morgan up and cradled her in her arms warmly, swaying back and forth. "You're okay, I'm okay," she whispered. It was quiet for a while, just the two of them. Eliza started to cry again, "I just miss your Uncle Peter. I miss his smile... I miss his voice... I miss his hugs."
She closed her eyes and kept rocking Morgan back and forth, another tear escaping and rolling down her cheek.
Tony was in the kitchen washing the dishes when the faucet just decided on its own to go crazy and spray water everywhere. He sighed and grabbed a towel, drying off the cups and counter. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a photo of him, Eliza, and Peter together. All of them were secretly putting bunny ears behind their heads.
He smiled and wiped off the water droplets from the glass frame. He heard sniffles from the living room and looked up from the picture, and towards the room. He walked over and saw Eliza silently crying and holding Morgan.
'Jesus, if she's doing this bad, I wonder how Peter's doing,' Tony thought.

Back in Queens, Aunt May went into Peter's room. All the lights were shut off, making it completely dark, the only light coming from his laptop on his desk. She heard a few sniffles and turned the lights on.
