A supertale Of New York

Part 13

At some point you must have fallen asleep again, because you were woken up by the heart monitor beeping incredibly fast. There was a doctor standing next to you who said "thank god, we almost lost her then, DON'T LET HER FALL ASLEEP!" And pointed at your parents as she walked out. Your mum was crying "What happened?" You slurred as you were still waking up "your heart stopped" "WHAT?!" Shouted a voice walking through the door. Your eyes focused on the figure and everything else vanished for a second. "PETER!" You squealed and the monitor beeped loudly again. He ran over to you and very gently hugged you "Calm down baby, you just died for a second, you need to stay calm" he whispered in your ear. the idea that your heart a just stopped, filled you with complete dread "peter I'm scared" you cried into his shoulder. "I know, I know, my love, but everything is going to be fine, I'm here now, I won't let anything happen to you." 

"We'll give you some privacy, Don't let her fall asleep!" your dad piped up after a few awkward minutes of crying to peter. "Don't worry , sir, She's safe with me" peter said as your parents left the room. Suddenly peter hugged you tightly and started crying. "I almost lost you" he sobbed "I almost lost the only thing I care about, and it's all my fault, I'm so sorry baby! I love you so much, I swear to you, no one will ever take you from me, ever.... I love you so much........" peter trailed of into quiet wails as he held you closer. "It's ok peter, it wasn't your fault......I love you too and I don't plan on leaving you anytime soon." You painfully moved your arms onto his back, attempting to comfort him. "Hey...where's that kiss I asked for?" You joked, and peter sat up and smiled at you. He very gently rested his lips on yours , and pulled away quickly. "what was that?!" You asked , upset at being denied the kiss you dreamt of. "I don't wanna hurt you..." peter said, sadly. "It's fine, kiss me properly you dork" you giggled.

"I missed you so bad, it's so nice to hear your voice, and see your eyes" peter said, resting his forehead on yours. "If I knew I was asleep, I would've woken up" you sighed. Peter kissed your forehead "it doesn't matter now, you're here, and I'm here, and we're gonna be together forever" you smiled and fiddled with peters ear. "Here, come and cuddle me" you said, moving over to one side so peter could lie next to you. He wrapped his arms around you, careful to avoid all the wires and monitors attached to you. He pressed his face into the back of your neck and whispered "don't fall asleep, please, don't leave me ever again, my life is pointless without you." "I promise, my love, I'll be here for a long time yet" you said, lifting his hand up to your face and kissing it. "I love you, Peter Parker" you whispered into his hand "Je t'aime , Tu es belle , Tu es l'amour de ma vie." He whispered back.

You felt your eyes get heavy, and peter tapped your side "Hey! Don't fall asleep!" "Sorry, I'm trying!" "Well try harder! If you fall asleep , you die. And if you die on me, I'll kill you." You laughed and it sent shooting pains up to your head "ARGHHHH!" You cried out. "WHAT?! What is it baby? Are you ok?!" Peter was freaking out again. "It's fine I just......it hurts when I laugh" peter nodded and took a deep breath. "Wait.... what day is it?" You asked Peter "Friday" he replied "NO, you idiot .... like...what number!" "OH!" He giggled "The 16th." You turned 16 on the 7th. You frowned. "What?" He asked. "I missed my birthday! I was gonna fly home for a bit and have a big party, but ....." it felt very weird that you got older but didn't have a birthday. Peter smirked. "What?" He got off the bed and walked over to the far corner of the room, and moved some coats, revealing loads of colourful balloons and wrapped up presents. "Your parents set all this up for you, I helped , they tried to wake you up on time, but the doctors said it was too dangerous." 

Peter picked up an envelope, and brought it over to you. "You can open this one, it's from me." Your name was written on it in pretty cursive writing. He sat next to you again and tried to mask the huge grin on his face. You were slightly terrified of what on earth he had got you. You ran your finger under the paper and ripped the envelope. Peter took it from you. It was one of those ridiculous pink cards with glitter and 3d butterflies. It had a badge with it that said *birthday princess* you looked at peter and raised an eyebrow "I'm sorry I know it's not your thing but that's all they had, just open it!" You pried the card open, and four pieces of paper fell out . You went to pick them up , but Peter blocked your hand and said "read it first" you started to read it out loud but peter stopped you "read it in your head, its pretty cringe"

*My incredible y/n, I don't think there are any words powerful enough to describe my love for you. from the moment I first heard your voice, I knew I wanted to spend my life with you, and every minute I spend with you, that feeling grows stronger. I still can't truly believe I am lucky enough to be loved by you, you are so perfect,all the things that you hate about yourself, are my favourite things about you. I could never love anyone more than you, except for people we create together. You are the strongest person I've ever known. And you make me stronger. Never doubt how much I care about you, I will be with you every moment for the rest of our lives, you will always be safe, and I will always try to make you happy, over anything else. I love you so much, and I hope your birthday is everything you've ever wished for. All my heart, your Peter XXX*

Some of the writing was smudged from your tears, and you turned to look at a blurry peter. He had turned bright red . And was biting his lip. "Peter, this is beautiful!" You managed to say through the lump in your throat. Peter just gestured to the pieces of paper in your lap. You picked them up, they were plane tickets. New York - London Luton. Return. London Luton - Corsica. Return. Two adults. Mr. PARKER & Mrs. PARKER. "Mrs Parker" you laughed . "It wouldn't let me book if we had different surnames..... and .... Corsica, that's the place you went to as a kid right?"

"So, the not so subtle message that I'm getting from this present is.."

"shut up" peter giggled

"No! let me be Sherlock Holmes." You joked

"Shut up" he repeated

"You wanna get married, and have kids.......with me?".

He rolled his eyes "yes , I do , but that wasn't hard to figure out"

You were trying hard not to laugh at how embarrassed peter was.

"I love you." You kissed his cheek

"I love you too"
