Megan couldn't believe that what she had done, had actually worked. She ran towards her car, looking behind her as she reached in her back pocket for her phone.

She unlocked the car door as she hopped inside as she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Hello?" She frowned at the small voice that had answered her.

"Sienna? Why did you answer Dad's phone?" She pressed on the accelerator as she drove out of the neighborhood.

"This is Mommy's phone, dummy."

"Watch your mouth," Megan clenched her jaw. "If you still want to continue seeing Rosemary..."

Sienna stayed quiet before answering her. "I'm sorry."

Megan sighed, stopping at the red light. "Why did you answer the phone? Where's Mom?"

"You called the home phone. Mommy is sleeping." Megan heard that she was watching cartoons in the background.

"My bad, listen I have to go but I'll be home soon, okay? Don't tell Mom that I called, okay?" She whispered.

"Okay. Hurry, your favorite Tom and Jerry episode is on." Megan smiled, knowing that watching the show was their thing.

"Wait for me, S. Bye."

"Bye-Bye." Megan let out a deep breath as, this time, she made sure she clicked on the right contact name.

He didn't pick up.

She decided to leave him a voicemail instead. "What are you doing? You always answer my calls. Listen...it worked. I was able to mess with MJ's mind. I told you that you could trust me. Call me back asap, Dad."

-----------------------

"Tell me the story." Rosemary said, climbing into bed.

"Of?" Peter said, pulling the chair next to him as he sat down beside her. He helped her pull the covers over her as she hugged the plush toy to her chest.

"The story of Spider-Man saving the baby." She whispered.

"The story of Spider-Man saving the baby?" He raised his eyebrows. "I think you know the story well enough that even you could tell me it."

Rosemary stared at him, waiting for him to start the story. Peter realized this as he laughed, sighing.

"Once upon a time, Spider-Man was doing the usual...fighting bad guys, right? Until one day it was different. He could tell it was different but he didn't know exactly what is was. He went to the bridge, seeing that the big Lizard Man had destroyed everything in it's path! Spider-Man was very angry and he was ready to fight him for what he did until-"

"Until he heard the baby crying." She interrupted him, grinning.

"Yes, he heard the baby crying. Once he heard her, he dropped everything to save her." Peter was getting choked up from remembering that day. "He saw the baby in the arms of her mother...he noticed that her mommy was scared."

"He tried to calm her down."

Peter nodded. "Yeah...he did try. So Spider-Man grabbed the baby and told the mother that she was going to be okay." He noticed that Rosemary pulled Spider-Man closer to her, already knowing what he was going to say. "When Spider-Man was going to save her mother, she didn't allow him...they both knew the car was going down no matter what. So..."

Peter didn't realize he was crying until he felt the tears fall down his eyes. "He made a promise to her mother that he was going to going to take care of her, to protect her with his life and raise her as his own...no matter what."

Rosemary wiped her own eyes. "He couldn't save her but he saved the baby, that's okay. He tried his best, right Daddy?"

"Mhm," He nodded. "He did try his best..."

"Her mommy died but the baby stayed with the bravest hero in the world, she's safe isn't she?" She whispered.

"Definitely...she's very safe." Peter sighed. "That's the end. Did you like it?"

"You didn't say happily ever after." She frowned.

"And they all lived happily ever after." He chuckled, bending down to kiss her forehead.

"What do you think the baby is doing now?" She said before he even thought of leaving.

"Probably getting ready to sleep, same as you. Do you need anything else before I go?"

Rosemary shook her head. "Night-Night, Daddy. I love you."

"I love you." He kissed her goodnight as he walked out of her bedroom before closing the door slightly.

He walked into MJ's and his bedroom as he saw her laying in bed, waiting for him. "You told her the Spider-Man saving the baby story again?"

"She asked me to tell her the story." Peter sighed, taking off his shirt. "She seems to really enjoy it."

"Yeah but she doesn't know that it's really about her. She's the baby in this story. As she gets older and if you're going to keep telling her the story, sooner or later she's going to find out-"

"She won't." Peter looked at her. "MJ, I hate when you bring this up to me. Can't you just let her enjoy it?"

MJ stayed quiet before she opened her mouth. "I don't want you to tell her the story again because I know how much it affects you, remembering of that day. There are so many stories you can tell her, tell her a different one."

Peter shook his head. "She's still going to bring it up, now matter how much I'll try not to."

"She'll forget about it, I promise you. Now, can we please go to sleep?"

Peter nodded as he climbed in beside MJ as she turned off the lamp beside her. "Can I ask you something, MJ?"

"What is it?" She groaned.

"I know it's off topic but...I just wanted to know why you changed your mind about Megan all of a sudden."

MJ sat up, staring at him. "You wanted me to become friends with her, right? What I said back at the hospital was wrong and I couldn't believe I didn't realize it sooner. It was wrong of me."

Peter just nodded his head, just to not start another argument again. She gave him a peck on the lips as she turned towards the other side, not facing him.

"She invited me to dinner...the other day. I said yes, what do you think about that?" She whispered.

"I'm just glad you two are getting along and you've stopped talking about her like if she was someone she's not." MJ could feel him moving on the bed as she felt his arms around her.

MJ didn't do anything but just lay in the same position. She didn't want to say anything else to keep from bursting out crying.

"You okay?" Peter whispered.

"Hm? No, I'm fine." She whispered back. "Everything is fine."
