Daddy Fury & Spidey Son (AU)

Part 2

It's Peter's second birthday which was happy yet sad occasion. Nick hadn't contact Richard since they adopted his son. Mary wanted to celebrate their son's birthday and not like last year, he was now able recognise people quite clearly, even with his eyes closed he was able to recognise whether it was his mama or dada. His hair had grown quite curly , his Cheshunt brown curls covering his forehead. Mary had some real struggle while trying to dress her son's hair. Like she will straighten and set them then within a second the hair will back normal. He learned to walk pretty quickly but he still couldn't talk though , this did worried his parents , he said very few words . Richard would struggle to keep up with his son in the park , when Peter might run around trying to catch butterflies. Peter wasn't much trouble , he was good boy , he didn't trouble his mama and dada . Always good and smiling at silly things like most children did but he was smart too.

Mary picked gifts for peter while he took nap at home, she let Mrs.Wescott at her home to look after peter. Mrs. Daine Wescott was good woman who lived next door , she was stout , brown skinned, stormy blue eyes and curly black medium hair , second wife of Mr.Wescott . They had three sons and one daughter , eldest son , Steven goes to elementary school, age around 16 or so , he had blonde hair and white skin unlike his stepmother. The other two twins were 6 year old, and 4 year old sick daughter, she was suffering from congenital heart disease. Mr.Wescott's first wife died due to blood loss during child birth when they had their daughter , Emilie.

Richard invites both his friends and their family to his son's birthday party. Norman agreed to come with his son who was an year older than peter and his wife. Curtis had no one but also agreed to come , he loved Richard's cute son peter like his own blood .

Mary arrived around 2 hours and found her cheerful baby playing with blocks making building with it while Mrs.Wescotth helped him. She had this smile that say 'how am I so blessed look after this angel' peter giggled everytime he placed a block pleased to see his creation.

Mary: mama is home
Peter: Mama *jumps and hugs her legs*
Mary: how was sleep baby?
Peter: *nods*G-oo-d

Mrs.Wescott had left while Mary took care of the gifts and decoration. Tired she walks upto peter who was still Playing in blocks and his stuffed animals.

Mary: *sighs* pete , baby you need try and speak , come here *sitting*
Peter : *snuggle into her lap*
Mary: *coos* aww baby wants mama , hmm?
Peter:*nods in lap* mama*stretching hands to lift up*
Mary: you want up up baby

She plays with him for while, then puts him to sleep . She starts cooking , and Richard comes back home and informs Mary that Curtis ,Norman and his family will be party at 6 . One hour more , Mary thinks , once she's done , she gets Peter ready with his outfit , denim onsie with designer Tee for toddlers. She tried to dress his hair but no avail it still looked messy. She shook her head smiling and took peter out in the room where party things were set up . Richard had got the room ready , setting dinner table and cake in the trolley table in the middle. Curtis , Norman and his family had arrived and were waiting for the birthday boy to show up . Mary came with peter who was bouncing with excitement in her hands , he clapped and squealed seeing the lightings , his favourite people and cake.

Harry waved at peter who returned the same gesture with a bright smile. Peter's cheeks were dusted a faint pink when his Dad complimented his outfit. Curtis tickled peter making peter giggle. They sang happy birthday song and enjoyed the time they cherished like a family.

Curtis bought peter a toy car with flashing lights. Norman bought him Lego block set. Richard bought peter puppy plushie which wiggles its tail. Mary had got him a coloring book which peter loved to do . The party was over , Peter was tired , and so they put him to sleep.

Leaving Mrs.Wescott again with peter who was kind enough to come and look after peter while he is asleep, the parker couple drive to the graveyard in silence , Mary bought lillies with her. They walked in and reached Ellen's grave. Mary laid the flowers over Ellen's grave and started sobbing , Richard comforts her while doing the same. They felt a presence , like someone was looking at them. Richard couldn't but look around frantically , he spotted two figure in the far end. The two figures walked over to the couple who they quickly recognised as Nick and Maria.

Richard: Nick , how are you ? My man *tries to smile*
Nick: never better Ric , didn't think , I would find you both here
Mary: if you are here peter then let's leave but he might be aslee...
Nick: no Mary, as much as I would love to but Peter must be kept safe , letting me in will put you and him in danger's path.
Maria :*talks in the phone and hangs up the call * sorry to interrupt director , it's Coulson , he says we have been compromised , government is now against S.H.I.E.L.D
Richard: oh god that's bad , we're here , if you need help
Nick : the only thing I need your help is with keeping peter safe Richard, I will come in contact sooner or later

Nick and Maria leave the couple and they part their ways.

Earlier, before Richard spotted Nick

It took every ounce of strength for Nick to come visit Ellen's grave , he hadn't tried to come see his wife's grave , problems at work was a different kinda  stress but this was family.  He finally decided to go . Maria was Ellen's friend , so he took her with him. They drove a car all way back from Headquarters to downtown. They just pulled up near the graveyard and spotted a familiar car parked. They entered the graveyard and made their way to Ellen's grave. Nick was holding back tears in eyes , years of training would have been waste if he couldn't control his tears now , pain was not new to him but this kind of pain sure was , Ellen was everything to him , so was his son.

' I should keep him safe , I cannot risk losing my son too , I need to make S.H.I.E.L.D stronger than ever before , that's the least I could do for now , I can't see my son , it will only put him danger'

They reached a corner and Richard and Mary kneeling down on the grave silently bawling their eyes out. They stood there in silence , observing. Maria decided to break silence and tried to start a conversation with her boss

Maria: sir do you not wish to see your son ?
Nick: It's not like I don't want to Maria but I will when time is in our favour, S.H.I.E.L.D is in danger which means more risky business , you know the drill Maria
Maria: right sir , looks like Richard spotted us.
