Dinner with the Starks

Peter is standing infront of the cabin, where the Stark lived. He didn't really wanna go not knowing if he was still welcomed even after Tony.. well you know.. but apperantly Pepper invited him and May to come over for dinner.

Peter knocked on the door, with May holding his shoulder for reassurance.

"Peter! May! You came! So nice to see you! Come in! Come in! Happy is out to pick up Morgan from a friend's house"

While Pepper and May talked Peter just stood there observing the place, it was warm and cozy. Peter tried his best to avoid looking at anything that reminds him of Mr. Stark. It still hurts to much to think about.

His thoughts were cut short when he heard a little girl opening the door "Mommy! Im home! Im with Uncle Happy!"

Peter turned around to see a small girl with brown hair and brown eyes, Peter's heart clenched since he saw the resemblance of Tony from her.

"Hi baby! We have visitors!" Pepper said approaching her daughter, Morgan took notice of the teenage boy infront of her and held out her hand "Hi! My name is Morgan Stark! Nice to meet you!"

Peter looked down at the little girl and gave a small smile "h-hi Morgan, my name is Peter. Peter Parker" he said while shaking the girl's hand. Morgan's eyes lit up after he said his name

"Peter Parker?? The one from daddy's stories?? Is he the one mommy??" She asked looking at her mother, Pepper just smiled and nodded. "I finally met you! Daddy talks about you all the time! He tells me bedtime stories about you!" She said enthusiastically

Peter didn't know how to react, Tony told stories about him? Before Peter could say anything Pepper spoke up first. "Well since everyone is here now why don't we have dinner? Yeah?"

While having dinner Peter didn't feel hungry and ate little food, after the battle with Thanos, Tony dying, the Mysterio fiasco, Peter was going through alot. He didn't feel hungry as much as he's supposed to, he hasn't been spiderman for months now, he's quieter, he's just changed now. May understood, Happy understood, Pepper understood. They were all concerned, yes. But they can't force him to go back to normal, healing after trauma takes time and Pepper knows that after she's been with Tony for how many years now.

Pepper knows she has to give a little talk to Peter, hopefully that talk will give a little push for Peter into recovery.

After dinner, Morgan went to go get ready for bed, May and Happy went out to buy ice cream at the store real quick (Morgan's request) and Pepper and Peter were clearing out the table. While Peter was staking the plates to bring to the sink for Pepper to wash Pepper spoke up, taking this opportunity of them being alone to have a talk.

"Hey Peter, can you put down the plates real quick?" She asked, Peter just nodded. Avoiding eye contact, staying silent. Like how he was the entire dinner.

Pepper grabbed Peter's hand and let him to the couch to sit down so they can talk "Peter, honey, are you alright? You've been quiet all night" not really the best way to start a conversation, but it's a start.

Peter just nodded, looking down at the carpet suddenly finding interest in it. Pepper softly brought her hand under Peter's chin to bring up his gaze to her. "Peter, I know you miss him. I do too, but you can't bottle up your feelings. Your aunt told me on how you wouldn't talk to her after your field trip to Europe. She knows what happened after seeing it on the news but she just wants you to talk to her, don't let yourself suffer in silence like this."

At this point Peter's eyes were glassy, threatening to spill tears as he still won't look at Pepper in the eyes. Not wanting to seem weak by crying infront of her.

"It's ok to cry Peter, I cried alot too. Sometimes I still feel him beside me on the bed, I like to think he's up there in heaven looking after us. He wouldn't be too happy to see you suffer like this. He would want you to be happy."

Peter slowly looked Pepper in the eyes, a stray tear finally spilled and soon he was full on crying, face in his hands while Pepper hugged him close.

While hugging Peter, letting him cry, finally releasing all the emotions he bottled up Pepper spoke. "You know, he invented Time Travel for you."

Peter suddenly looked up, fear in his eyes. Oh god, I'm the reason Mr. Stark is dead?? Why did he do that? Im nobody, just an orphan wanna be superhero kid he decided to help out. It's my fault Morgan will grow up without a dad, it's my fault Mrs. Stark lost her husband, it's my fault- Peter's train of thought went wild finding out this information.

Pepper took Peter's hands into hers and looked him straight in the eyes. "No Peter, I meant he did this so you will come back again and live a life. He wanted you to be happy, pursue your dreams, get married, have kids, he didn't want you to die. After you died he was a wreak, but he told himself you wouldn't want him to be like this so put himself together and slowly got better. You are his kid, still are. After we had Morgan he was so afraid to let her go, afraid of how he'll treat her, but he always reminded himself that you would want him to be happy. So I want you to do the same. Tony wouldn't want you to be sad, he would want you to be happy. Get the help you need, the treatment you deserve. And we'll be there every step of the way."

Peter's crying subsided and he just hugged Pepper, burying his face into the crook of her neck. While Pepper hugging back, giving him reassurance that she's here and she won't leave.

Their moment was interrupted with Happy and May coming through the front door "we're back!" Pepper and Peter pulled away from the hug to look at Happy and May "Peter! You're crying? Are you ok? What's wrong? Do you need any-" May was interrupted with Peter slightly laughing and wiping away his tears "Im fine May, just had a talk with Mrs. Stark" Peter said while May was bringing him into a hug.

After pulling away a happy squeal was heard, they looked at the stairs to see Morgan run out in her pajamas "Uncle Happy! You got the ice cream??"

"C'mon guys, let's have some Ice cream" Happy said walking towards the table, May bringing out the cups so they can eat.

The night ended with eating ice cream then putting Morgan to bed, Morgan asked Peter to tell her a bedtime story and he told the time Tony saved him from a robot as a kid. Morgan was amazed and they laughed as she drifted to sleep and everyone going out of the room one by one

Peter was about to leave the room when he said "Goodnight Morgan, sweet dreams"

"Goodnight Petey, I love you 3000" Peter's heart clenched and he walked out the room turning off the light and closing the door.
