Chapter Text
“Petey dad says that you need to come downstairs!” Morgan said, running into her brother’s room. Peter furrowed his eyebrows but got up from his bed.
They were at the lake house. One year ago, a few months after Beck had happened, Tony decided to relocate his family, Peter included, to a more peaceful area. Not long after that, Tony and Pepper confronted Peter about wanting to adopt him.
Peter had quickly said yes.
Peter made his way downstairs and into the kitchen. Ned and MJ were grouped with his family. Tony was holding a brightly light cake.
“Surprise!” They all shouted in unison. Peter was even more confused.
“What’s going on?” Peter asked curiously. Tony smiled.
“One year ago today Morgan came home from the library talking about this teenager named Peter who helped her with homework. One year ago today marked the beginning of you walking into our lives, which we are very lucky for,” Tony said.
Peter broke into a wide grin.
Ned and MJ had learned of Peter’s alternate universe complication a month after Beck, while momentarily surprised by the fact, they never stopped being friends with Peter as he feared and their friendship had grown.
Peter had told MJ he liked her. Lucky for him, she liked him back.
So here Peter was today, surrounded by his adoptive family and his amazing friend and girlfriend. Peter was happy. He was so so so happy.

Ned and MJ had hung out for a while but left when it began to go dark.
Peter and Tony were seated on the porch, watching the sun slowly set.
“Thank you for today dad,” Peter said, looking at Tony. Tony smiled and pulled Peter in for a side hug.
“You should be thanking me for not letting DUM-E handle the decorations,” Tony said causing Peter to laugh.
They sat together, eventually, Morgan and Pepper joined and sat with them.
A loving father, mother, and sister.
Surrounded by his family Peter thanked the stars he finally found home.
