A Fighting Chance (Tom Holland AU) [2]

Fifty-Two

After a while in Georgia of us just spending time together in the place we fell in love, we flew over to LA--the place we conceived our child and one of our favorite cities in the world. As we landed, I grinned over at Tom and pressed a kiss to his forehead. "Hi, baby." 

"Hi, darling." He grinned softly. "We're meeting the Marvel guys at the gate, right?"

"Yes. They've got our suits at the main office, and they said we can keep our bags there until we need to check in." I smiled softly, and he nodded gently.

"Did Ali and Zendaya tell him that he was going to meet us?" I shook my head, and he smiled.

"But they're so excited, and I'm so happy for them." I grinned as we stood up, kissing his cheek gently.

"Oh, me too. I just know they're going to make wonderful moms." I smiled and nodded in agreement as we gathered our things, chit-chatting as we made our way to the gate. Once we met the Marvel team and were on our way to the main office, I pulled out my phone to text Ali.

Hey babe! We're on our
way to the Marvel office,
where they've got our suits
for us. We're so excited
to meet Noah.

We're so excited for you
to surprise him. Thank
you so much for taking
time out of your
honeymoon to do this.

Of course, Ali. You guys
mean the world to
us, and we love bringing
a little cheer. We'll
see you guys soon!

As Tom got dressed, I looked down at my suit. "I don't know if I can get back into this."

"What do you mean? It was tailored specifically for you, darling."

"Yeah, and then I had a baby." One of the attendants looked between me and the suit.

"I'm sure with a little help, you'll fit into it." I gave her a smile as she pulled it off the hanger, and Tom smiled.

Once we were both settled in our costumes and on our way to their place, I sent Zendaya and Ali a selfie of us to let them know. As we sat in the back, I pulled my hair up into a tight ponytail. It was the best way to secure my hair when I had the head of my suit on. "It's always amazed me how you can do your hair blindly like that."

"I told you, they teach it in girl school!" He rolled his eyes playfully, and I chuckled. "Doing my hair for dance really helped too. It's basically muscle memory at this point."

"Okay, that's fair." He smiled, and I laid my head on his shoulder gently. My phone began ringing, and I grinned as I answered it. "Yes, Ali?"

"What if this doesn't go over well?" I sighed, taking Tom's hand gently.

"It will. You and Zendaya told us that he is a huge fan of the two of us. He's going to love it."

"But he has some pretty bad trust issues after what he's been through. What if he's upset that we've kept a secret from him?"

"Have you told him anything?"

"We did tell him that we'd have some surprise visitors today, yeah."

"Than that's not a secret! He knows that you're having visitors, and he knows that it's a surprise as to who we are. It's going to be okay, Ali."

"You think so?"

"I do. We're getting ready to pull into your neighborhood now, so we'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you guys so much." After bidding goodbye, Tom and I pressed our lips together quickly before we both put our masks on.

"You ready for this, darling?" I smiled as I heard Tom immediately switch to an American accent, so he could really sell this to him.

"Absolutely." I smiled softly as I felt the car come to a stop. Our vision was pretty limited in these suits, so we had the driver guide us to the front door before he left, telling us to call him when we were ready to head back. I took Tom's hand as I rung the doorbell, smiling when the door opened.

"You guys look great. He's going to be so excited." Zendaya whispered, and we grinned softly. "Come on in. Noah, our surprise guests are here." 

As we walked in, a little boy stood up from the couch to see who was here. "OH MY GOSH!" I smiled as he rushed over to us, and we both knelt down to his height.

We were going to stay in character for a good part of the time, so I let Tom do all the talking. "Hey, it's Noah, right?"

"Yes sir, Spider-Man and Flex!" I smiled as he waved excitedly, and then he opened his arms shyly. "Am I allowed to have a h-hug?" My heart almost broke at the way he hesitated, and I glanced up at Ali and Z. They each bit their lips as they held each other and watched.

"Of course, bud." I could hear a smile in Tom's voice, and it made me grin seeing how happy he was to hug Tom. As they let go, I held my arms out for one, and he hugged me as tight as he could.

Ali and Zendaya hadn't told us how rough he had it, and I didn't blame them, but just from the way he held me, I could tell it was pretty rough. Rougher than I could ever imagine. "I can't believe you guys are here! This is so cool!"

"It is pretty sweet, isn't it? You have your, uh..." As Tom trailed off, I could sense that he was looking towards the girls. We had no idea what he was calling them at this point.

"My moms?" He looked back at the two, and I could see happy tears form in Ali's eyes as they smiled.

"Yes, you have your moms to thank. They're the ones who asked us to come here."

"My moms know Spider-Man and Flex?! That's so cool! Is it because Mama Z is an actor?" Tom chuckled at his name for Zendaya, and she nodded. At that, we took our masks off.

"Noah, these are your uncle Tom and auntie Grace. They play Spider-Man and Flex in the movies." Zendaya smiled, and I grinned as he smiled excitedly.

What do you guys think? :-)
