Facing The Past

Chapter-2

Sometimes it makes Peter wonder how much his life has changed in past few years. He has a loving fiance, a little son whom he can die for . 'DAD'. He and a 'DAD' he never thought about it so early. It's not like he never wanted to have kids or something. God, he loves kids. They are so pure and Peter has always wanted to have kids but he didn't want to have them unplanned. Tony was quite unplanned he and Elle never thought they would have a kid at such a young age but he and Elle never considered him to be a mistake. He's the best thing that has ever happened to them and God he loves his son so much. He was scared really scared when 4 years ago Elle showed him her pregnancy test kit which was positive, she was terrified. She wouldn't stop crying being worried about it and maybe he was even more terrified than her. He screwed up big that time he cursed himself for being so careless reckless for not using the protection,  both of them were quite young at that time with no decent jobs.

" How are we gonna raise a kid?"  Elle questioned him everytime and everytime he replied, "We'll do it together and we'll be the best parents a child could ever have."

Not lying he was scared, really scared. Ehat if he failed? Because they were all alone there was no one although May was there but there was not much she could do and Happy, God! That guy helped so much, well its still kind of weird for him to believe that Happy is his uncle now when he turned into dust Happy was there for May. She told him when he was gone, how much Happy  had helped and after a year they started seeing eachother. Bought a new apartment in Manhattan and moved together. Peter was glad he could atleast be in their wedding. He missed that grumpy man.

But at the end of the day both of them were all alone but for a second thought there were many other people around this world who were even younger than them and were and are raising their kids alone. So, why can't they? Tony was born early because of all the stress Elle was taking and that had lead her to an early labour. He was so scared that he'll loose them. He couldn't loose Elle she was all he had at that time and the kid he was not even here and Peter already loved him so much. They were his life. But by God's grace they were both saved and healthy.

Then the time came when for the first time Peter held his son in his arms and from that moment he knew he would protect him with all his life and all he had. He failed in many different ways but till today he never failed as a dad. Elle everyday told him that he was the best fiance and dad one can ever have.

Gosh, he loved his little family so much, but still something was missing and that emptiness that never could get filled by anything or anyone else.

"Bye mommy. We are going to Charlie " said little Tony waving at his mother.

"Ok sweetie. Be a good boy okay and don't trouble aunt betty. Have fun with Charlie." Elle ruffled his hair lovingly saying all this.

"Okay, bye. I love you mommy."    

"I love you too kiddo." She said placing a soft kiss on her son's forehead.                       

Peter smiled at the scene. Gosh he can never get enough of saying how much he loved them.                   

"Peanut, can you go wait in the car?" asked Peter.
                                    
"Okay, daddy." Replied Tony before getting into the car.             

Once Tony was in the car Peter pulled Elle closer to him while holding her from her waist with both hands. Elle raised her eyebrow at this while Peter smirked at her.

"So all the kiss for the kid only and nothing for me?" He asked faking a sad face.
                                       
"Parker don't tell me that you're being jealous of your own son." Elle asked dramatically while rolling her eyes.
