It All Started That One Day~ A Peter Maximoff Fanfiction

We are Family

Kaitlyn's POV

"When do you plan on telling the team that Charles is your... Ya know..." Peter said gesturing with his hands dramatically. It's been four days done the whole thing went when, and Peter still can't say it out loud. "That he's my dad? I don't know, but for now it's just nice spending time with him and getting Maddie used to the idea."

"She's two weeks old she doesn't understand what's going on around her" he sighs picking her up from her bed as she shows off a big yawn. "Of course she does she knows that I'm... Mommy!" I squeal kissing her cheek, and she gives me a toothless smile.

"Well everyone's starting to get suspicious since you two have been acting differently" he states matter of factly spinning on his heel to head down to the breakfast area. I scoff stomping after him, and we've probably been acting differently because I know he's my dad now I just wasn't ready to share that news with everyone yet.

Well I'll show him I'm going to tell everyone at breakfast. Excitement surges through my body as I run down the stairs two at a time, and see Peter waiting outside the kitchen tapping his for impatiently. "Took ya long enough" he sighs dramatically kissing my lips briefly before spinning me through the door.

Like always Char... Dad is waiting for all of us sipping his coffee and reading the paper. "Good morning Prof" Peter says while handing Maddie off to him. He immediately puts his paper down and starts playing with her much to her amusement.

Meanwhile Peter is trying to discreetly reach the Twinkies in the back of the cabinet. "Peter I swear if you eat that garbage for breakfast then I'm going to have your mouth sewed shut for the rest of the day" Erik scolds just as he steps into the kitchen.

"I would've said something, but I felt your mind down the hall. Besides I'm preoccupied" Dad counters boopping Maddie's nose in the processand, she releases a shrill giggle making all of smile. "How about I make all of us a somewhat healthy breakfast" Erik offers swatting Peter's hand away from the sweets cabinet with a fond smile nonetheless.

"Sounds good, and Charles I need to show you something" I whisper the last part tapping my head, and he stops his baby talk with Maddie eyeing me worriedly. After a few seconds his eyes actually connect with mine and he simply nods his head. That's all the reassurance I need.

Slowly the rest of the gang drifts into the kitchen some looking more awake than others, but one sniff of Erik's omelets and everyone suddenly has more energy. Once they're all scattered about the kitchen happily eating, or scarfing in Peter's case, there omelets I stand taking a deep breath ready to break the news.

"Guys I need to tell you something." Everyone unanimously freezes turning to look at me like a bunch of programmed dolls. When no one else speaks I clear my throat bracing myself for everyone's reaction.

"I recently found out some very shocking news..." I glance at Charles from the corner of my eye snapping my attention back to my friends not wanting to be suspicious. Instead I focus on Peter and Maddie who both seem to be cheering me on internally.

"I found out that Charles is my Dad" I state more confidently than I expected, but the silence that follows my confession nearly makes me faint. Everyone stares at me blankly clearly trying to decide if I'm telling the truth or not.

I swear minutes pass all of there eyes sliding between Charles and I as if trying to pin point similarities. A delicate tink breaks the silence and I look up to see Scott now standing with me bracing his orange juice like he's toasting.

"I think this calls for a toast. To Kelsey for finally finding a parent she deserves I told you they're not all bad... And to the professor perhaps now he won't be so cranky when our homework isn't turned in on time" Scott cheers making everyone laugh shocked faces replaced with happy ones.
