Spider Family: The Next Generation

Chapter 14

Peter suited up and quickly left his apartment swinging in the direction of Mary Jane's apartment so he could sit down and talk through what was happening after Julia dropped that bombshell yesterday.

'Even after getting some sleep and taking some time to process everything... it's still so hard to believe.' He thought as he swung absentmindedly to Mary Jane's.

'I have a kid. TWO KIDS, actually. And it's possible there will be more coming if what Julia said is completely true. And all I have to do is effectively choose which child I want... or basically who I want to be with.' He continued, his trail of thoughts spiralling.

'Heh. No pressure or anything.' He humoured to himself but he found little to joke about in this situation. There's a first for everything.

Knowing that this wasn't just a conversation he needed to have with Mary Jane but with Felicia too he quickly dialled her number and waited for her to pick up.

"Well hello spider. What are you doing calling me so early this morning?" She purred through the speakers.

"Hey Felicia, just wanted to let you know I'm on my way to MJ's." He informed her hearing the clicking of her tongue.

"Headin' over to see little ole red. Should I be jealous?" She asked with a little sarcasm.

"No... actually I wanted you and Felicity to meet us there. I think we all need to talk about this." He said practically feeling her elation through the phone.

"Sure thing spider, we'll be right over." She said with a little mirth before the line was cut.

"Huh... this is gonna go well, isn't it?" He asked rhetorically.

As Peter swung through the cityscape, weaving past every building with an increased speed as he perfectly fired off one web after another with precision to maximise his momentum, he was unaware that he was currently being followed.

Behind him was Nathan, cloaked and swinging behind his father from a distance to keep out of his sights and to make sure he didn't accidentally set off his spider-sense.

Now knowing that there were in fact others that could be making their way here he needed to make sure he didn't run into any... unexpected visitors and make things more complicated than they needed to be.

After all he had no way of knowing who was coming back and what kind of threat they posed, not just to his future existence but if they would cause any trouble themselves in this present time.

Peter continued swinging for a while until he reached Mary Jane's apartment, both MJ and Mayday were already awake and sitting at the table seemingly having a pleasant talk until they noticed Peter at the window.

"Hey Pete." MJ greeted as she let him in.

"Hi dad." May said soon after.

"Hey guys. So uh... Felicia is on her way, with Felicity, so we can all talk about this." He said causing some slight irritation from MJ who isn't thrilled dealing with the cat themed thief.

"I thought you were going to think things over by yourself?" MJ questioned with a little venom in her voice.

"I tried but... it's not like it's an easy... or simple, decision. I think hearing things from both of you might help." He said honestly.

He spent a good part of his morning thinking about his options, he could just up and choose one of them, Mary Jane or Felicia.

But how was he supposed to choose? Both women held a significant role in his life in certain aspects and he did truly love and care for them both.
