Chapter 110: My Son

Alright my internet peeps, since it was Veterans Day a few weeks ago, I wanted to do a chapter based around that. I'm putting a twist on it and you'll see what I mean. So I hope you all enjoy.

Anyway on with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peter never thought in a million years he'd be coming home, he'd been in Iraq doing his second tour as an IED technician. His parents were terrified to death not knowing if they'd ever see him again. But they had to have their worries die down, as they knew their son was only trying to serve his country.

What shocked his parents the most was that Peter wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, to fight and serve his country in the war. Part of them was proud, but the other part was scared, hoping he wouldn't get hurt or worse... die.

Neither Natasha or Steve wanted to do the whole surprise thing, so they were simply going to pick Peter up from the airport, along with MJ, Peter's wife of three years, and their daughter Olivia. Olivia had seen Peter on numerous occasions, through a computer screen that is.

And when he found the time, Peter would text or call MJ to check in, even though it'd be daytime for him and nighttime for her and Olivia. They'd be on the phone for a few hours before Peter would have to go when his sergeant called him. So at the moment MJ, Olivia, Steve, Tony, Pepper, Morgan, and Natasha were standing at the gate waiting for Peter.

Anticipation filled the air, as the family awaited Peter's arrival, MJ looked around but didn't see her husband, with Olivia in her arms smiling and happy. She could barely contain her excitement, knowing she'd be able to hold Peter again.

Then, she saw him, they both smiled, and once he passed the check line, they ran into each other's arms hugging and crying. MJ couldn't actually believe it, Peter was home, he kissed his wife like it was the beginning of their love story all over again. Still holding their embrace, "I've missed you so much." He whispered.

"I've missed you too." MJ replied. They pulled away and Olivia reached out to her dad. Peter took his daughter and held her tight, "Hello my little Liv, daddy missed you so so much." Peter kissed Olivia's cheek.

Olivia nuzzled her head into Peter's neck smiling. "Dada." She whispered, Peter took it all in, he was home, with his parents, aunts, uncles, wife and child. Life couldn't get better than that could it? As he walked closer, Steve and Natasha hugged their son. "We've missed you kiddo." Steve told him.

"I've missed you too, Dad." Peter replied, after they reunited, they brought Peter back home to settle in and just be with his family. He unpacked his duffle bag and felt MJ's arms wrap around him, he sighed, turning around and kissing her forehead.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi." The love that they felt in that moment was undeniable, anyone could tell it'd been a long time since they've been in the same room. "Y'know what's crazy?" MJ asked.

Peter sat down on his and MJ's bed, "What?"

"You're finally home, and I can wake up beside you every morning. Olivia can sleep in with us, we can just cuddle together. Now we can talk in person instead of through a computer screen." MJ explained.

Peter sighed, laying down as MJ does the same. "I know, it almost feels so... unreal, like I'll fall asleep tonight and wake up in Iraq, to go on another mission."

Just as they were talking, Peter and Michelle heard the pitter patter of little feet, looking towards their room door. They saw Olivia running in and standing at Peter's feet, making grabby hands, indicating she wanted Peter to hold her.

He smiled and picked her up, "Hi Olivia, were you holding the fort until I got back?" Olivia nodded her head, "I helped mama, she made spaghetti!" The two year old exclaimed.

Peter looked towards MJ as she smiled, "You've been mama's little helper huh, good job sweetheart, now it's my turn to help mama."

"I wanna help you too daddy!"

Peter faked a shocked gasp, "You do?"

Olivia once again nodded her head, "Uh huh." Peter peppered Olivia's face with kisses, hearing her sweet giggles. MJ loved the sight, seeing their daughter and Peter interact. It was evident that Peter absolutely adored his little girl.

"Alright, I say we make some hot cocoa and watch Princess and The Frog." MJ suggested.

"Sounds like a good idea, love." Peter said. The family went into the kitchen and made some hot cocoa, while MJ got the movie started. Soon Olivia fell asleep, Peter paused the movie and carried Olivia to bed.

MJ cleaned up their hot cocoa mugs and decided it was time for bed, she and Peter got ready and laid down, holding each other in a warm embrace. Everything was the way it was supposed to be, Peter was finally home. "I love you Peter, I'm so happy you're home." MJ whispered.

"I love you too, Michelle, and I'm glad I'm with you and Liv again." Peter kissed her forehead, before falling asleep along with MJ. (This was such a wholesome chapter.)
