If I Remember You

Epilogue

Peter

"You know what? I'm calling your father young lady. Peter!! Come get your daughter off the ceiling!" I could hear yelling from downstairs in irritation.

I could only laugh light-heartedly as I make my way downstairs to see what I was dealing with.

"I've tried everything humanly possible but its your turn. She won't listen to me" MJ barks glaring up at our daughter as she smirks down at us with her head upside down.

"May" I call out her name warningly as she gives me an innocent smile.

"Yes, daddy?" She replies softly as I shake my head at her. "I told you that you have to listen to mommy. If she says you can't climb up the walls, then you can't do it" I scold at her as she frowns at me.

"But she never let's me do it daddy." She whines climbing up to a corner as MJ glares at me silently demanding me to climb up and get her down myself.

"I don't let you use your gifts because last time, you freaked out half of your classmates on a school trip, and we had to get Auntie Isa to come and fix it" MJ retorts defensively as May rolls her eyes in response.

"It was Claire's fault, she started the fight" Our daughter snaps back irritably.

"Don't yell at your mother and get down from there. Now please" I intervene as MJ huffs angrily at her daughter's attitude.

It was silent for a while, as she silently challenged me with her eyes.

"I'm asking nicely May, so don't make me crawl up there myself" I warned her raising one of my eyebrows challenging at her.

"Fine" She gives in as she crawls down as MJ shakes her head disapprovingly at her.

"Now go get ready, your friend should be here shortly" MJ calls out authoritatively as our daughter sighs.

"Yes momma" She mumbles as she rushes up the stairs.

"Little rascal climbing up the walls again?" A familiar voice perks from the front door.

"You know your sister, always butting heads with your mother" I muse with a light chuckle while MJ smacks me in the back of my head.

"Must suck to be the black sheep of the family. I wouldn't know" He brags teasingly as he kisses MJ's forehead lightly with a soft "hi momma" under his breath.

"You know when I told you that I wanted a mini me?" MJ perks as I nod with a soft smile.

"I take it back. I swear this little girl is too stubborn for her own good" MJ huffs as our sons laughs lightly.

"She's only 8, it's just a phase" I reason as she rolls her eyes just like May had been doing minutes ago.

"You better pray it is Parker. She can't keep risking her powers like that, she knows better" MJ says softly with a small worried frown.

"I'll talk to her and help her dial it back a bit" Our sons offers with a soft smile while rubbing his mom's back reassuringly.

"Thank you baby" MJ thanks him while taking a deep breath.

"Oh, and Ben?" I speak up as his eyes drift towards me.

"Yeah, dad?" He replies with a soft smile. "Your girlfriend dropped off some cupcakes. Very delicious. But the cupcakes weren't for you but for your sister." I tease him as he groans in annoyance.

" Marisol is not my girlfriend. We've been bestfriends since diapers, that's just gross!" Ben protests as MJ gives him a sly smirk.

"Hmmm... are you sure she feels just as disgusted by the idea as you are?" MJ asks him with a quirked eyebrow.

"I'm like 90% sure" He admits as MJ chuckles.

"Well, all I'm saying is that there is a 10% chance you could be wrong" MJ advises him as Ben frowns while shaking his head.

"Just because we are bestfriends, it doesn't mean we have to end up dating" Ben counters as MJ nods her head.

"I agree with you. But it also doesn't mean it's impossible. I just don't want you two to end up hurting each other. So wanna tell me what's bothering you?" MJ asks him as he sighs defeatedly and pours his heart out.

"I'm dating Sophie and I like her...a lot. And lately, Marisol and I have been butting heads because she is not too fond of Sophie and well it's just complicated. I don't want to choose between my childhood bestfriend or my girlfriend" He tells his mom as MJ frowns seeing our son in distress.

"You're 17, and everything seems like the end of the world at your age, but trust me when I say that it isn't. You'll figure it out son" I offer with a small smile draping an arm over his shoulders.

"Thanks dad, but that didn't really help" Ben frowns looking at his mother for a better answer.

"I try my best, your mother is better at it then I am" I muse chuckling. "I'm gonna go check on your sister and make sure she's not on the ceiling again" I tell him as he nods.

"And please let her know that I need to do her hair before Cassie gets here" MJ calls after me as I nod my head.

"I can do her hair while you and Ben talk" I offered as she smiles gratefully.

"Thanks babe. Her hair products are-" MJ instructs before I cut her half way.

"I know where they are babe, this isn't my first rodeo" I tease as she laughs and waves me off.

I love my family. We may butt heads at times, and have teenage drama to concern ourselves with, but I wouldn't trade it for the entire world. And getting to do all these things with my bestfriend (besides Ned of course) makes this journey worth taking.
