Time went by. Peter and Charlotte stayed at the house, everyone else stayed at the tower. Lillian had officially turned one and Charlotte and peter weren't even at the small party they had for her. Charlotte was getting weaker and weaker which made peter very worried at the possible outcomes of having the baby. Tony would come over frequently to check up on everything. Charlotte was not only getting weaker, but her mood changed. She stayed quiet and spent most of her days sitting in the windowsill looking outside at the mountains and hills holding her stomach. It was now the end of April and she was 8 months pregnant. It was a rainy day and she sat in the same place watching the lightning. Peter went to the tower to get Danielle and Bucky so they could talk to them about what would be best when Charlotte went into labor.

"Something you need to know peanut, the world is a cruel place. There will be times where you feel like you are nothing and want to just fall off of the face of the earth. But you have to pick yourself up. God I hope the world treats you good." Charlotte said getting emotional, holding her stomach. She quickly wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "God I hope you don't have my anxiety. And if you do get my powers, I hope you can have a normal life, I hope I didn't screw everything up for you just because I was stupid and didn't think about what would happen if I Had a kid. But if you become a geek like your father we are going to have a problem." She laughed. "God I can't wait to hold you in my arms. Just please try and take it easy on me, I think I deserve that." She smiled. "God I hope I survive this." She said softly and rested her head on the wall behind her. That's when the door opened. She quickly sat up.

"Charlotte!" Danielle said and hugged her.

"How have you been?" She smiled.

"Good, you look great. You've even went for the overalls, full mom outfit." Danielle laughed.

"Well it's one of the few things that fit these days." Charlotte said softly.

"Well we have a lot to talk about." Danielle said.

"Before you start talking her ear off let me say hello." Bucky said walking into the room.

"Bucky it's good to see you." Charlotte said standing up to walk over to him.

"No please I'll come to you." He smiled and walked over and hugged her.

"Your skin so cold." He noticed.

"Yeah I have nothing left. Lost all my powers, it's worrying me." Charlotte sighed.

"No stressing out. It's crunch time and we need to talk about this." Danielle said.

"How are you feeling?" Peter asked hugging her and kissing her gently.

"Like crap, nothing's changed I guess." She smiled.

"Ok so have you thought where in the house you are going to have the baby?" Danielle asked.

"I'm not due for another month." Charlotte said.

"Yeah well the baby can come early, or she can be like Lillian and come late." Danielle said. "And like I said a hospital is a no go." Danielle said.

"But I have no powers anymore." Charlotte said.

"Yes but they can come back full force. Trust me I know what's best." Danielle said. "Something else you need to plan for is, when you are in that much pain, the last thing you want to do is panic. It's not good for you or the baby. It will just make things worse. You will have to remember to take deep breaths, rapid breathing won't help anything. And labor can be as short as an hour or like me, I was in labor for 5, but it can go even longer like that." Danielle said.

"What happens if I don't survive?" Charlotte asked. Everyone paused and looked at her. Peter instantly started to panic inside.

"You will-"
