You Can Let Go Now Daddy

Easter

A/N: I think I might finally be ready to close this chapter of Peter's life soon. Of course, you all know I really do like the idea of starting another book and picking up years later when Peter is a teen and has become Spiderman. That story will be a lot more different from this one in regards to how the plot moves along. In this one, I'm providing random little snippets into Peter and Tony's life together where I try my best to focus on the two of them. In the new one, it will flow more as a story and focus more on Peter as he works out the kinks of his newfound superpowers. When this book ends, I'll have the link to the next one in the authors note of the chapter. Let me know if you're excited to see Peter navigate his teenage years and without further ado, here is the next chapter enjoy!

"Peter, wake up!" Pepper shook the young boy awake, much to his surprise. Normally, he was awake long before Pepper and Tony even started to crawl out of bed. Today must be a special day if he was being woken up instead.

He sat up, groggily taking in his bedroom. His mom stood there looking really excited about something and his daddy leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed and smirking.

"Guess who came last night?" He asked and Peter blinked in confusion. Who could've possibly come? He hadn't heard anything about guests visiting. He shrugged helplessly.

"The Easter Bunny!" It seemed Pepper was too excited to wait for her son to guess. She wanted to get to her own favourite part of Easter, ever since she was a little girl. Peter's eyes lit up in realization.

He'd totally forgotten about Easter. Easter was another holiday he had never really gotten to celebrate all that much and even if he didn't quite understand it fully, he knew that the basic concept was that he was getting more treats. 

"Here!" Pepper shoved a basket into his small hands and Peter looked up at her confused. She chuckled.

"Don't you want to go on the Easter hunt?" She asked and Peter nodded, hopping down from the bed and taking each of his parents hands in his own. Tony took the basket, carrying it for him.

They wandered all over the Avengers compound looking for the chocolate eggs and bumping into friends along the way. Clint helped him find a few eggs on the way to begin training, he stopped to share one (maybe a few more than one) with Thor who was just as excited as Peter was, Natasha and Steve stopped to wish Peter a happy Easter and give him their own gifts and Bruce was waiting at the end of their little scavenger hunt, with breakfast as was planned by Tony and Pepper.

Peter excitedly sat down to eat as they planned out the rest of the day. Painting eggs with Scott and Cassie, enjoying chocolate with the Avengers until dinner and having a specially themed Easter movie night after dinner (for which Peter picked Rise of the Guardians to watch).

The day seemed to pass by way too fast for Peter's liking and before he knew it, he was back in bed, being read Peter Cottontail and drifting off to sleep. He found he liked Easter a lot more when he could spend it with people he loved.
