Winter's solace

Peter

Parker family apartment:

Alyssa laid in her bed, attempting to sleep.  She tossed and turned, unable to get comfortable. She groaned and climbed out of bed. She wore a long silver nightgown with built in cups and her colorful hair was swept into a long ponytail. She leaned against MJ's door and heard sniffling. 

  "Michelle?" She asked, pushing the door open.
 

She rushed to her wife's side.

  "Baby? What's wrong?"

"I-I miss Peter." MJ whimpered "It was easy when you were with him but he's alone and I'm so scared."

  Alyssa sighed, climbing into bed and cradling MJ in her arms.

  "Baby." She whispered "He's okay."

"Then why hasn't he called?"

"He will as soon as he can. I promise."

   MJ nodded, burying her head in Alyssa's chest.

  "This gown is torture." She mumbled.

   Alyssa chuckled and rocked her softly.

"I know."

Their front door creaked open.

"Girls." A voice whispered.

"Peter?" Alyssa asked jumping out if bed.

She ran to the living room and flipped on the light. Peter stood before her, bruised and cut up.

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed, running towards him. "MJ!"

MJ came running.

"Peter!" She yelled

They treated Peter's wounds. Which turned out to be bloody but minor. MJ slapped his arm.

"You know I hate it when you show up like this!" She whined.

  "Take it up with the guy in Prague." He groaned.

"You came back from Prague like this!" Alyssa yelled.

She was breathing heavy, anxious. His injuries could have been so much worse.

   "Shhshshsh." Peter said, pulling both women to him.

He took a deep breath, inhaling their soft scents.

  "God I've missed you both so much." He whispered.

Alyssa nuzzled into his bare chest and MJ rested ger head on his bandaged shoulder.

   Peter kissed both their heads and MJ smiled, remembering something that had happened earlier in the day. She leaned up, whispering something in his ear. He froze and looked down at her.

  "Are you serious?" He asked

She nodded and Alyssa laughed, knowing what was just said. He arms left Alyssa and wrapped around MJ. He held her close, kissing her repeatedly. He held back tears as he whispered a soft "thank you"  in her ear. Alyssa smiled softly, kissing them both.

  "Happy birthday Peter." She whispered
