Peter and Gwen were on a balcony. Bring It On Home To Me played while they overlooked the scenery.

"I guess this could all be mine someday, and since you're going to be my wife, it'll be yours too" Peter said

"Like how I'm going to be Queen of Kosmo someday and you're going to be King?" Gwen asked

"Two planets we could rule together. Even better" Peter took her hands in his, and pulled her close to him. He let go of her hands, and put his on her waist. Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck. They started swaying to the music.

"I still can't believe I'm gonna be a father" 

"You know, I was actually afraid to tell you. I know that your dad was absent from most of your life and---" 

"I'm not gonna make that same mistake that he did. I want to be there for all of our son or daughter's life"

"I can already tell you're going to be an amazing father, and an amazing husband" 

"That reminds me. I have a gift for you" Peter reached into his pocket and pulled out the purple velvet box. "I'd like to propose to you the proper way" He got down on his knee and opened the box, revealing the most extravagant ring that Gwen has ever seen. "Gwen Pierce, will you marry me?"

"Of course I will Peter" Gwen said. Peter stood up and slipped the ring onto his fiance's finger. "It's beautiful. You didn't steal this, did you?"

"No! I wouldn't steal anything from your home or parents. In fact, they practically gave me this ring when I told them I wanted to marry you" Peter said.

"It's very purple and extravagant, isn't it? Then again, what isn't purple and extravagant on my planet?" Gwen said

"It's very purple and extravagant, isn't it? Then again, what isn't purple and extravagant on my planet?" Gwen said

"I think a kiss would be a great why to make this engagement official" Peter said. Gwen's lips locked with Peter. The kiss was sweet and chaste to start, but it deepened quickly into a passionate kiss. Peter unzipped Gwen's jacked and pulled it off of her. When her jacket hit the ground, Gwen started unzipping Peter's.

"I need to talk to you two about the planet" Gamora said as she joined them. They quickly pulled away from each other and looked at Gamora with annoyed expressions. 

"Really Gamora?" Gwen said

"Yeah, we were in the middle of something" Peter said

"You two already made one child already. I think it's too soon to start making another one" Gamora said. Gwen grabbed her jacket and put it back on as Gamora continued. "There is something weird about this place. It doesn't feel right"

"Gamora, I think you're overreacting" Gwen said

"That girl Mantis. She's afraid of something"

"Why are you trying to take this away from me?" Peter asked

"I'm not trying---"

"He's my father! He's blood!"

"You have blood on Earth, you never wanted to return there. Now you have blood growing inside Gwen" 

"Earth is the place where my mother died in front of me!"

"That place is real, and this is a fantasy"

"This is real! I'm only half human, remember?"

"That's the half I'm worried about, and now that you have a child, that's the third I'm also worried about"

"Gamora, please don't bring our child into this" Gwen said

"Gwen, don't you get it? She's just jealous because I'm the god and she's the weak one" Peter said

"You were insufferable to begin with. I haven't been able to reach Rocket. I'm gonna go outside and I'm gonna try to get a signal" Gamora said

"I've finally found my family. Don't you understand that?" 

"I thought you already had" Gamora left, leaving Peter and Gwen alone again. They sat down on one of the couches in the room. 

"Can you believe her? Who does she think she is? And what gives her the right to worry about our child? It's ours, not hers" Peter said. Gwen took his hand in hers.

"She just worries because she cares. I for one, am glad that we came here. It's great that you and your dad are building up a relationship" Gwen said. She then remembered the feeling she got when Ego touched her. "Peter?"

"Yeah?"

"I need to tell you something else" When Gwen looked at Peter, she couldn't bring herself to tell him that sometimes Ego gave her bad vibes. She's probably just imagining those vibes anyway. After what her parents tried to do when they first met, any parent that Gwen meets would probably give her bad vibes at first. "We should probably never let Rocket babysit"

"That's what I was thinking. He'd probably give the kid a bomb or something"
