Spending Time (Spider)

[Deleted]

Life can be rather hard, sometimes in life you loose people. Sometimes in life it is a lot more then that, every day at least one person dies in the city. It was scary to know that every minute of every hour, of every day someone is dying. But then heroes were made to give people hope, Spiderman was special to most people. But to one woman in particular, Mary Jane loved her husband. To her he truly was a remarkable man, who could do things not everyone could do. Sure there were other heroes out there, but the city was big.

MJ had done many things in her life already, and she wasn't even forty years old yet. She had been through a lot of bad things, but a lot of wonderful things as well. She still remembered finding out Peter was Spiderman, then after she found out she was so worried that he was going to get hurt or worse. It was later that they got married, she was a model a very popular one. But things started to slow down for her, she wanted her life to slow down. Because she was afraid of missing something, if she rushed life.

She was cooking something for Peter and she was on the phone talking to Aunt May, she loved to talk to May. They had been close for many years, it was like they have always been family. And right now it didn't really matter if they were blood related, she was asking how Peter was doing. And of course asking how she was doing, MJ had a lovely chat with her and hung up. Then she heard the front door open and close, she smiled seeing what time it was. She loved it when he came home to her.

"Hey Tiger"

Peter Parker, better known as The Amazing Spider Man around the world, was in his car on the way home from work. At the Daily Bugle today, it was just the usual, Peter comes in, Betty tells him that good old double J needed to see him. Double J needed Peter to get some photos for some big event tomorrow and of course, Parker had no problem with that so he told the old man he would do it. Ever since Peter became Spider Man, he was the number one guy at the bugle to get photos on all the happenings going on around here. As long as it got him the money, it’s all good. Life is so good now that it’s restored to normal than it was five years ago when the clones started destroying everything. Including the fact that everyone he cared about was safe, including his wife and true love…Mary Jane Parker.

Pulling up to there home, Peter parked the car before turning it off. Taking the keys out as he placed them in his pocket, he got out of the car with his stuff. Going up the steps, he opened the door and went inside hearing MJ’s voice. It was like she was on the phone with someone, maybe Aunt May or someone from her side of the family. When the clones attacked, destroying everything, Peter thought he lost the people that matter to him the most like Aunt May, MJ and so forth but they were alive. He brought them to safety and looked out for them, getting supplies, food, etc with the other heroes. He went in the kitchen where MJ was and saw the red head cooking. “Hey MJ”, he said with a smile as he kissed her softly on the lips. “And this is for you of love and appreciation”, he said, giving her a red rose that was in a box.

“So who was that? Aunt May?”, he asked her as he went into the refrigerator, pulling out an apple and Peter took a bite before closing the door. He leaned on the refrigerator as he listen to his wife talk.

MJ was having a lovely day so far she had done a few shots for a new magazine that was rather promising, with the money she made modeling and the money Peter made by the photos that he took of spiderman and the other stuff he does for the paper. They were living comfortably, sure they couldn't get a condo or a huge house. But MJ was very happy with how there life was going, then after modeling she had gone to the store since they needed groceries for the refrigerator. Since they hardly had anything in there at all.

But looking at Peter she smiled and returned the kiss he gave her, she loved kissing her husband. They had been through hell lately, there relationship had been tested many times. She still remembered the time he told her he was spiderman, and she felt honored that he trusted her with his identity. She had remembered being captured once by a guy who ended up turning into water, he had demanded he tell her who spiderman was. And of course she refused and was kidnapped. Being with Peter made life a lot harder, but she was honored to marry him.

She didn't know what life would be without, and she was terrified over it. When she heard what he asked she nodded a bit. She always loved Aunt May she was a very nice lady, and she was sad when she lost Ben, she was just a girl when that happened. But she still remembered when Ben died, it was a terrible time for Peter. She knew Ben was the only father figure he had, and now he didn't have a father figure. But he seemed to make due, though sometimes she feared that he was still sad about losing him.

"Yes that was Aunt May I invited her over for dinner I gave her a date for Saturday and I told her if something changed I would let her know. She seems rather lonely Peter, we should go over and spend some time with her sometime you know? Sometimes I wish we could buy a big house, and have her live with us so she would have company. I know her wedding anniversary is this weekend, which is part of the reason I invited her over. So she wouldn't have to face being alone, because no one forgets there wedding anniversary "

Walking over to him she took the apple he was eating and took a bite. Chuckling a bit as she knew dinner would be ready very soon, so she grabbed some wine that she had chilled and put it on the table. She had the table all set up for a lovely dinner as well, she had two candles and wanting to make this as romantic as possible. She took out the baked chicken that she made, and took out the macaroni and cheese. She had worked hard on the meal, since the Mac and Cheese didn't come from a box it was home made.

"Dinner is ready tiger I hope you are hungry"

[Deleted]

Peter was a busy man these days with his job and being Spider Man but that didn’t mean he forgot about Aunt May. He would call her at night, afternoon, morning, whenever Peter was free. He knew that sometime he should stop by her place, just to visit. Since his parents ran off, May and Ben raised Peter in there own home. Parker had so many memories of his time with them and if it wasn’t for them, he would not be where he’s at, he would not be Spider Man. As Peter took a bite of his apple, he saw MJ take the apple away and take a bite of it too which made Parker chuckle a bit. In front of his own eyes, Peter witnessed his wife make a beautiful romantic dinner. Now Peter was not the romantic guy but he tried whenever he went out with his friend or when they had a chance of alone time, it worked out in the end.

Hearing that dinner was ready, Peter smiled. “It’s smells great. I must say MJ, you sure know the way to a man’s heart and that’s good food”, he complemented. Taking off his jacket, Peter put it up on the hanger before going back in the kitchen. Pulling out MJ’s seat her for. “Ladies first”, he said before going to his seat and sitting down, pulling up to the table. He took his glass of wine as he looked to MJ. “I would like to make a toast to not only me but the beautiful woman sitting across from me. You’re the best and I love you”, he toasted before taking a bite of his food. “You know, I’m all in for Aunt May coming this Saturday. I have nothing going on, no work so I’m good”, letting her know that family comes first, not work. “So how was your day?”, he asked MJ, taking a sip of wine hearing his wife speak.

[Deleted]

She smiled happily at him he seemed to be having a good time with everything, when she heard him laugh it made her smile even more. To her his laugh was very charming and enjoyed hearing it. He didn't laugh very much, and when they talked about May she was glad he agreed to the dinner. It was always hard to plan things, since Peter had two jobs and it was hard to nail him down to have a good meal with family. But she knew that this dinner on Saturday would be very special. Since she would make Aunt May happy.

When he walked over to her chair and pulled it out, she thought it was very sweet. He was always like that, he always held out her chair for her and sat only when she had been seated. Unless of course they were out and were sitting in a booth. Since you can't really move a booth, but it was rather sweet of him any way. Right now as she heard what he said about the food, it made her feel really good. MJ was getting use to cooking, since you couldn't always eat out every night which would make her fat.

Not that she wanted to really, but any way happy the dinner was on she heard the question about how her day was going. Thinking about it for a moment, she also began to think when he said he didn't have anything to do. She knew that he had hero duties he would have to perform, but she was glad he didn't have to work at the paper. It would have sucked to have to call May and tell her it was cancelled, she wished Peter had told May about him being spiderman. But understood why he wouldn't tell her.

"My day was very good Peter, I did some modeling today and then went to the store to refill our refrigerator. You know the whole day I had done a lot of thinking, when I got the paper today. I saw a picture of you and was of course proud that "Spiderman" Had saved us yet again from a robbery this time. It made me wonder about our future, wondering if one day I could point to a picture and tell our child that his daddy was one of the greatest men alive. Made me wonder if we would have children...Peter"

[Deleted]

The conversation from MJ started about how the day went for her. Of course, there was modeling, and MJ always looked good in anything. Since the first day meeting his wife in school, Peter knew she can rock the runway in any type of fashion and form. Even on those nights when they are alone in there home and she dresses up for Peter, she takes his breath away. It’s people like her that Peter lives for these days in the world. Just as he was about to take a bit of his chicken, cutting it with his knife, then it took a turn to…children. Peter stopped and listen to his wife mention about possibly having children. He put his fork down and looked at her, as Peter smiled a bit. He could remember how they lost there first child, how much it hurt them that they were about to raise a child in the real world. That was so painful for the two of them, but time has passed. Things were on the up and up, the world is safe thanks to the council for rebuilding everything.

“You know MJ…between you and me, you would make a wonderful and beautiful for our child to look up to”, saying it from the heart. “But if we do have children May Jane…it won’t change anything. With the world as it is, there hasn’t been a huge disaster but anything can happen. Even with me as Spider Man it would put our child in danger and everyone would come after us”, he said and that was the truth. No one knew that Parker was Spider Man but whichever way he went, the man is a target to his enemies. “I know in the past we’ve come up short but maybe…maybe we can have children. I don’t think we should rush it but I think were at that point…that were ready”, he told her, confirming it. If this child was a boy or even a girl, the child would become the next Spider Man once Peter’s time is done. He knew at a point the could not do this superhero thing forever. However, Peter knew that the child would continue the legacy to make him and Uncle Ben proud. “What do you think MJ?”, he asked his wife, wondering we she was at on this.

[Deleted]

MJ had seen a lot of good and bad things in her life, sure she was far from being forty years old. And her life was rather difficult, but living in this world everyone's lives are rather difficult. Right now there was only two people active in her life, Aunt May who was like a mother to her. And her husband Peter, if it wasn't for having May and Peter in her life. She would have committed suicide when she lost there first baby. It was a very hard thing to deal with, but the two of them helped her very much.

Peter was everything to her and knew that she was meant to be with him, when she found out that he was Spiderman it actually blew her mind away. It took him so long to come clean about the spiderman secret, but of course she understood why it took him so long. She knew that he had two true weaknesses, first weakness was Aunt May and the second was herself. So when he asked her to marry him, she was honestly floored. She never thought that he would ever marry her. She figured the want was there, but to protect her he wouldn't.

Boy was she wrong because here she was married to him, he was everyone's hero but especially her hero. So losing there first child was rather hard, but then when she brought it up right now to him. She saw the way that he put his fork down, she wondered if bringing this up was very bad. But she needed to talk about this with him, and hearing what he said. MJ thought about it for a moment, and sighed a bit. She knew rather it be a boy or girl, it would take over.

"Peter let's face it that we will never live in a time of peace, and I know how we were when we lost our first child. But I am ready to try again, I know the loss was hard but I want to be a mother. And you would make a wonderful father, just like you said id make a good mother. I don't mean rush to have a baby, but we are not getting any younger. But what ever you think I will do, you know me Tiger we do everything that we can do together" She smiled.

[Deleted]

Child or no child, nothing will change but Peter would do anything to protect those he loves. The first child didn’t make it and it still broke his heart to know that he/she is up there in heaven, protected by the good lord himself. He wondered what his Uncle Ben would say to him, what advice to give. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility but when it comes to children, something more like, be the best you can be. He would never be a perfect father, Peter would screw up from time to time, getting him in different situations. One thing is for sure, Peter will love this child, MJ and Aunt May with all of his heart. As he listen to his wife speak, its’ amazing how much she’s changed over the years as a married couple. It didn’t matter, he’ll always have his MJ, now and forever.

Peter nodded his head. “You got it MJ. Whenever were ready, we’ll be ready but let’s just live the rest of our lives, we got a long road ahead of us. You and I will make great parents when make our child” he said, taking a sip of wine before putting the glass back down. “Also I was thinking that we should take some time off and away from work” he suggested. “You know… we can go anywhere in the world. Maybe Paris, Rome, Australia, or even Japan. I think we need something like this, just to get out and explore other place’s, you know it’ll be fun” Peter told MJ with a warm smile. Work is good with money, paying the bills, etc. but going on an adventure with his wife is another thing, brings out the excitement.

[Deleted]

MJ smiled at him and listened to him, she knew that life would be really hard with a baby. But she wanted to try, there baby was up with god now and she thought that it was a very good time to try again. She figured she would get off the pill, but before she took herself off she would ask Peter about it. She wanted to plan this pregnancy instead of having a all of a sudden pregnancy. She respected Peter to much to corner him like that, but then he mentioned going on a vacation which sounded nice.

"I was thinking maybe I could go off the pill? Since Ive been on it since our first child passed. Didn't want to reopen up wounds so close you know? But of course I will let you decide that, wouldn't want to back you into a corner like that. Just I am ready to start to have a baby at any time, but I know with your responsibility as spiderman and your work. I will just let you decide it, and as for a vacation that sounds love. But what about your side job Peter, can you really afford to take a vacation?"

Now MJ really wanted to go on a vacation, since she was just doing modeling on the side. She didn't need to do it, she knew how to save her money, and she had about ten thousand dollars in the bank. She had a bank account with Peter, normally the rule her mother always said. Was to keep a separate account, because men will rob you blind. But she honestly trusted Peter, so she didn't feel that a separate account was needed right now. Reaching over the table to him she smiled squeezing his hand a big smile seen.

"If you feel comfortable leaving then I say we do it, Ive wanted to go on a vacation with you for a few years. But my job at the time wouldn't let it, and neither would your job. But now I am not a full time model and I have all the time in the world, hence why I am home just about every night for you to make dinner. Which I love making dinner, just so you know. Makes me feel like a wife, and I love to make sure my husband eats" She chuckled happily at him and leaned over the side and kissed him.

[Deleted]

It’s times like these that Peter wishes he didn’t have to go out as Spiderman to save lives, but just stay here at home with MJ. Like she said, Peter hit the jackpot when meeting her, such a red head who was so sweet, so nice and just incredible. He wondered what would happen if he didn’t meet MJ and went with Gwen instead? What if she married her and made a family? That would have been out of the question since Green Goblin was the person responsible for ending her life. Gwen didn’t deserve to die and leave this cruel world like that. Peter knew that he too was responsible for her death, just like Uncle Ben’s. No, Peter should not think like that, he did the best he could. He knew the two of them are proud of Peter. He felt MJ’s lips on his as he smiled.

“Well I love it when you cook Mary Jane, you got some mean cooking skills” he complemented again before continuing. “But yes we do need to get it out. And I am sure Double J would let me off the hook. Lord knows the man need’s his money these days” he joked and said to his wife. Peter still could not understand why a hero like Spiderman that Jameson could not like STILL to this day. Spiderman even saved his life once and Double J could not even say the words “Thank you” or something like that. There was no need to thank Spiderman if someone saved him, only if the person wants to say it. “You know something, I feel at peace when I am with you MJ. We still have that bond, that deep connection and with you by my side, we can take on anything in our way” and that’s the bottom line, love survives us all.

[Deleted]

MJ smiled at him happily she had been doing a ton of thinking off and on all day. She didn't know why today of all days why she was doing the thinking. But right now she just didn't care why she started to think. Maybe Peter got her to do the thinking, because he gave her a ton of answers to questions. Deep down she knew that he was still sad about Gwen, when she heard Osborn killed her. Well the split personality Green Goblin killed her, she felt rather sad for him. She didn't exactly know her to well.

But she didn't want a friend of Peter's to get hurt or in her case die. She didn't get much information on what happened, but she didn't ask him really. She wanted to tell him how sorry she was even to this day that she had been killed. Knowing that she was there for him, she had a feeling that Peter knew he had her to talk about it with. But she thought if she brought it up, it may cause a rift with them. Since she knew that it would cause a rift between the two of them.

"Well Peter it sounds like we have something to plan on then, as long as you can get some time off from the paper. And that you do not mind being away from your spiderman duties, then I think we should plan on where we are going and when. Personally I would like to go as soon as possible you Know, it will do us a lot of good to do this Tiger. Since my main job is more of a job now. It is a very cool idea what you said, so let's decide where we want to go first. I was thinking perhaps France, took French in school would be nice to use it"

[Deleted]

When MJ suggested France, Peter thought about it before making a decision. "France sounds great sweetheart. I can just picture it now, you, me, alone in Paris with candle lights, roses, it'll be romantic" he said to his wife. Peter always enjoyed his times with MJ where he can just do whatever he wants to her and most of all....love her. His job as a husband is to be there for his wife and he did just that. Peter sipped on the wine and continued staring into those eyes, that hair of hers.

"France it is" making the decision for the two of them, since France is a place MJ always wanted to go. With that Peter finished up his dinner and he wondered...what to do next? "All finished with dinner Mary Jane. I'm looking forward to desert....or have you decided what it will already be?" he said and asked, giving a sly wink. He did not mind being intimate with her because thats when they connect on a passionate level very well. On those nights, those beautiful nights when the moon was out in full force, it made them want one another.

[Deleted]

MJ looked over at her husband and smiled glad that they would be going some place. Just thinking about it made her really happy, but then he was talking about dessert and the sly wink he gave her. Made her just want to laugh a bit, it was a nice thought and sighed a little bit. Nodding a little as she couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. But the sly wink she knew was enough to tell her. Getting up she went into the refrigerator and took out a home made chocolate cheese cake, and cut two slices and put it on a plate.

"Here you go Tiger, made it myself" She said happily as she winked a bit and put it in front of him and sat down chuckling a little bit. She knew all to well what he was thinking, they had been married about five years. Had been friends before that, he was always a sweet one to pretty much wear his heart on his sleeve as they say. Looking down for a moment as she ate her cake she enjoyed the thought of being romantic and wanted to be tonight. Just it was a wonderful night. Reaching over she placed her hand on his and squeezed it, showing what she wanted.

[Deleted]

Peter did not mind the chocolate cake at all. Taking a first bite, Peter realized that MJ’s good at a lot of things. Modeling’s one thing, always putting a smile on his face and also making a lot of good food. They didn’t need to come at a restaurant every night of the week, they have home together. Pete did not mind going out with his wife, just not all the time and there is no rush for it. The money’s coming in good for Peter so they have a lot to live for these days. He could also feel MJ’s hand on his, giving it a tight squeeze. Always brought comfort to him whether he’s sad, mad, PO’ed or even happy, he didn’t mind it.

Finishing up the slice of chocolate cake, Peter wiped his mouth with his napkin before looking up at MJ. “So…now that we are finished with that…”, he said as he got up from his chair, walking up to MJ before leaning down, kissing his wife’s lips softly. “What shall we do next sweetheart?”, he asked MJ. They had the entire night to themselves and whatever MJ wanted to do, Peter won’t have a problem with that. He placed his hand on her shoulder as he listened.

[Deleted]

MJ smiled watching him eat it always warmed her heart to know that he enjoyed her warm cooking. Going out for dinner was nice but not all the time, perhaps maybe once a week. Or not even that much, once a month or on important reasons like engagements or what ever. But she enjoyed making food by her own hands, was a really nice chance to be able to relax and enjoy things. Like right now she enjoyed the sight of her husband pigging out a little bit, though one thing was really funny.

No matter how much he ate he was always staying in shape, course could be because of his two jobs he has. He is always on the go, though he always seemed to be able to be home when he was truly needed. But then she watched him finish his meal and wipe off his mouth like the gentlemen that he was. And she watched as he took her hand and kissed her on the lips, he was in a very loving mood. Hearing what he asked she smiled getting some ideas, standing up she kissed him back.

"Mmmm could always spend some alone time in the bedroom Tiger"

She grinned even more.
