May was a bit nervous, not a bit she was extremely nervous. She was on her way to her family's house, her mother, father, sisters and brothers, as well as other family members, and Peter was coming with her. Her family never approved of her decision to take in Peter after Ben died, hell they didn't approve of her marrying Ben in the first place.
When they talked on the phone there was always some comments about her decision, about Ben, about Peter. She hoped that maybe, if they just met Peter they'd like him, or at least tolerate him. May loved Peter, she loves him so much and nothing will ever change that.
Yes things did get more hectic and difficult after Ben died with Peter becoming Spider-Man and May having to work extra hours since money was tight, but she'd do it a hundred times as long as Peter was with her.
So when they pulled up to her parents apartment neither of them got out. They both sat in the car in silence preparing themselves for the worst. May looked over at Peter who was staring straight ahead onto the road, she grabbed his hand giving it a small squeeze of reassurance, she smiled when Peter squeezed her hand back. The two slowly got out of the car and walked inside.
May lead Peter to the door and she stood there, all the possible outcomes of today running through her head.
"May?" She looked over to see Peter staring at her, a concerned look taking over his features. She smiled and kissed the top of his head and knocked on the door. The door opened and her father was there, stone faced he looked at May then Peter, his eyes stayed on Peter most likely judging and analyzing every piece of him, then he walked away leaving the door open for them.
"Martha" her father's voice boomed throughout the room. "May and that kid are here." May and that kid. That kid. "Oh." Her mother almost sounded disappointed they were there, she heard it clear in her voice and May already wanted to get out. She wanted to grab Peter's hand and walk all the way back to the car and just drive away.
May walked inside Peter right by her side, he closed the door after them and followed May into the living room where there were more people. They all glanced at them, their face expressionless before turning their attention back to the TV or their phones.
She sighed quietly and went to her mother, Peter following after her. "Hey, mom" her mother glanced up at her "hi." May cleared her throat to get her attention again, her mother rolled her eyes and looked up at the two infront of her. "Um mom, this is my lovely nephew Peter" she gestured towards him and he smiled and waved.
"Lovely, sure. Hi peter" and with that her mother left to go sit somewhere else. May sighed and looked at Peter who was smiling awkwardly "Sorry Pete, she's just uh, ya know not good around new people.." Peter shrugged "it's ok May" May smiled at him and ruffled his hair.
--------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours had passed, Peter and may were sitting together, there was an awkward silence and tension that filled the room. Peter had asked if he could go to the car since he left something and May let him, that's when her family started to say something.Her mother was the first to speak "honestly May, I still think it was a horrible decision to take him in." Her aunt nodded in agreement "I mean look how much you have to work to provide for the both of you."
Her father glanced at her "if I were you I would have placed him in the foster care system the second Ben died."
May shook her head "I could never do that to him, I love him, he's a great kid." Her sister laughed "You're ridiculous May, you're not fit to be a parent, you never were."
You're not fit to be a parent, you never were. You never were.
"Um excuse me"
May looked up and saw Peter standing in the door way his arms crossed and he was obviously angry. She hasn't seen him look this angry since Ben had died.
Her family looked at Peter, waiting for him to say something, waiting to tear him to pieces.
"I honestly think you're all wrong. May is fit to be a parent. She works hard everyday when she could've just gotten rid of me, but she didn't. She's a better parent then you two" he pointed at Mays father and mother and may had to keep herself from laughing at the shock on their faces.
"And you all are being so disrespectful to someone who works hard and is an amazing person."
Her mother stood up and pointed at Peter "you wanna talk about being disrespectful? You're the one who butted in to a conversation that doesn't concern you and you're back talking. Is that how May really raised you?"
Peter laughed at how ridiculous she was being "no she raised me to stick up for the people I love and to be far more respectful to people who actually deserve respect and none of you do. This conversation does concern mean because you're talking about my aunt."
Next her father stood to his feet which caused May to stand up as well. "It is obvious May didn't raise you right, I should beat some sense into-"
Peter nodded "alright do it then. Do it." May stood up infront of Peter "you will not threaten my nephew like that. Ever. He is one of the best kids I know and I'm truly sorry that you can't get your head out of your ass and see that."
She grabbed Peter's arm and turned pulling him out of the apartment and outside towards the car. Peter stopped her and looked at the ground "May, I'm sorry I didn't mean-"
He was cut off when May pulled him into a bone crushing hug. Peter hugged her back and May was the first to break the silence between them. "Don't apologize Peter, it wasn't your fault. They're just a bunch of assholes.
Peter laughed "honestly May, you should've let me get in that fight, I could take him!" May laughed while she wrapped an arm around Peter to walk towards their car.
"Peter i know you would've won but I'm not gonna let you beat up my father.
