"So how was last night?"Steve asks as he and Natasha make breakfast. Everyone is still asleep besides Pepper who resting in the room. The morning sickness is getting to her.

"I think it went well Peter was happy about the dog. And we had a good talk, oh and he and Pepper hit it off pretty good too."I say it's only 8 AM Peter will probably wake up around 9 or 11 he wakes up early or late never in between.

"Oh, I'm heading to the store later with Wanda and Buck maybe Peter would like to come. Just get out." Peter then appears a lost look in his eyes and bed head, Tessa in his hands. I chuckle at the sight.

"Good morning, "I say he closes his eyes and smiles. Natasha walks over to him.
"Peter," She says wrapping him in a hug laughing as she tries to fix his messy hair.

"Hi, Nat...I missed you too."

"You look crazy."She said laughing and getting back to cooking. "You hungry?"

"Really? This has been my look for the past two weeks," he says grinning. The clothes he's wearing are too big on him but he looks comfortable. I'm pretty sure that's my shirt. "Sure food sounds good."

"Hey, Pete," Steve says giving Peter gives a small smile.

"Good morning Mr- ah steve sorry" Peter takes a seat next to me. Tess clings to him she even looks tired. I can tell they probably just woke up.

"How are you feeling?"Steve asks. I get up and get Peter's medication, putting the code for the little safe and grabbing his dosage.

"I'm a little better," Peter says "My ribs and arm are much better I'm gaining some weight back too."Steve smiles "That's good to hear, happy your back."He nods. Natasha gives me a cup of water and I give it to Peter he takes them.

"She has any accidents?"Peter shakes his head. "No, I had to take her out a few times though."I nodi got a notification for each time.

"Eggs and bacon and avocado toast sound good Pete?"

"Yes please." Peter says "What time do you guys wake up?" Steve laughs a little as he scoops up the freshly cut strawberries into a bowl giving them to Peter.
"I wake up at like 7 workouts eat some food."

"At 7? You have more energy than me I can barely get dressed half the time." I smile recently Peter hasn't been caring about his appearance, I should have looked closer to that. I figured it was just a lack of sleep.

"I was in the military queens, I had to. Sunday I'll sleep in though." Peter nods. "How did you sleep?"

"Good, it's nice in warm here so that was nice."Peter says "And I can sleep in!"

"Was it cold there?"I smile getting ready for Peter to rant. That's all I've been hearing about for the past 2 weeks.

"The blankets were complete ass."Steve gave his grandpa face hearing Pete swear. "Sorry. They were horrible it was like tissue with holes in it and they were not big."

"Why were they so thin?"Steve asks. I wondered the same thing but it made sense when I found out.

"So in a mental hospital, they try to make sure theirs no way we can hurt ourselves. Like there weren't any sharp edges we only had crayons you would be surprised what people are willing to do. Well, the blankets were so thin and had holes on them so we couldn't try to hurt ourselves with them which was good I guess. But I was freezing."
