If we've got each other, Spider-Man x OC

{Introduction}

Kali Stark was going through so much. Her best friend Ellie Heere was now pregnant at the age of 15 and the father had abandoned her without a single word. Kali begged her father to let Ellie stay with them in the huge home that was Stark towers seeing as the didn't really have anywhere else to stay. Soon the baby was born and life couldn't have been better for the two friends. But Kali's life was about to take a turn for the worst...

Kali came home from school with a bright smile, her father wasn't home so it would just be Kali, Ellie and young baby Michael.

"Hey, El! I'm back!" No reply. "Ellie?" There was again no reply. "Oh god! Where is she?!" Kali continued to yell Ellie's name until she saw water coming out from somewhere. She followed the trail to the bathroom and opened the door to see Ellie in the overfilled tub, her skin deathly pale and a bloody razor blade on the floor along with a note. "N-No..."

Kali's heart broke and she collapsed to the floor in a series of broken sobs. With shaking hands, she grabbed the note and read it aloud.

"My dearest best friend,

Don't you ever think that what I have done is in any way your fault because it's not. You and Mr Stark have been ever so kind to me and baby Michael so I want you to take care of my baby boy. Take care of my precious little Michael and make sure that my beautiful baby is safe. Thank you for being an amazing best friend and thank Mr Stark for letting me stay with you both. Well I've gotta go because I'm running out of space to write. Goodbye, my friend.

Sincerely

Ellie Heere."

Kali turned off the tap and kissed Ellie's forehead gently as her father entered the house.

"Kali?! Sweetheart, why is there-" Kali's father Tony came into the bathroom to see his daughter clutching onto the note left by her now dead best friend. "Oh no... Kali, I'm so sorry. Come here." He held out his arms to her and Kali ran over to him, hugging her father tight.

"D-Dad, Ellie she... She..." Tony stoked his daughter's hair in a relaxing way but the sounds of baby Michael filled the air. Kali broke away from her father and ran into Michael's room to see the baby wide awake, his tear stained face turning to face her. Kali smiled and picked the baby up, rocking him back and forth to calm him. "Hey, hey, hey, ssh... It's okay, Michael, I'm here..." Michael stopped crying and fell asleep in her arms. But Kali did not put him back in his crib, she held onto him and kissed his head repeatedly. Tony stood behind his daughter, smiling as he knew that she would make a good mother.

"What do we do with young Michael? Do you want to keep him?" Kali didn't look at her father, she kept her eyes fixed on little Michael and smiled.

"I'll raise him for Ellie's sake. I can't just give him away because then I would've not only failed Ellie but I would've failed Michael as well and I don't think I could live with myself." Kali kissed Michael's head once more and vowed from that day on she would protect Michael Heere with her life and would make sure that no one ever hurt him.
