chapter nineteen
epilogue

[ three years later ]

"peter?!" nova yelled loudly into his and her shared apartment, they had moved together after about seven months of dating.

"in the kitchen!" peter yelled back in reply.

nova picked up milo — her and peters cat — and made her way to the kitchen from their bedroom. once she entered the kitchen her eyes latched onto peters naked chest.

"hi my baby's." peter said over his shoulder as he looked away from the dinner he was making.

"hey petey." nova stepped forward and placed a kiss on his cheek, then leaned her chin on his shoulder. "dinner smells great."

"thank you, love." peter enjoyed giving nova her little pet names, and he knew she didn't mind either.

nova pulled away from peter and walked to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of orange juice. she took a sip of her drink before she shoved it back into the fridge.

all well nova was doing her own little thing, peter finished up dinner and placed everything on plates for the two. he placed them on the table and sat down, nova sitting down right after.

nova twirled some of the pasta on her fork before she took a bite, she let out a noise at the taste. "peter, this is amazing!"

"thanks hun." peter smiled at nova before he enjoyed his own meal. the two talked on and off between bites — how was work, anything exciting, the usual.

once dinner was clean up and the couple were tucked into bed, milo at their feet, peter had reached over to his bed side table and pulled out a piece of paper.

"one: nova park-barnes, will you marry me?" he didn't get down on one knee, he didn't wear a fancy tux, but he did something that screamed nova and peter.

"another list?" was novas reply first, it hadn't processed that peter had asked her to marry him.

"nova." peter deadpanned with a smile.

"huh?"

"number one!" peter waved the list around before he stopped so he could read it again. "number one: nova park-barnes, will you marry me?"

"yes! yes yes yes!" nova moved from her lying down position and practically jumped into peters open arms.

[ another one years later ]

"i have a list. for the both of you. you too sam." nova announced as she sat across from peter, sam, and bucky who were all squished on the couch.

"a list?"

"yeah, like the lucky list. but with my own twist." nova shrugged and handed each one of them men their envelopes — of course peter knew what was in his, he had been with nova when he found out the news.

"you can open it." peter told the two older men who had hesitated. none the less, the two opened up the envelopes.

one: don't freak out.
two: listen to nova as she tells you she's pregnant.

"im pregnant!" nova did jazz hands as she blurted out the two words.

"oh my god."

"pregnant? as in baby pregnant?"

"there's more than one?"

peter watched happily as sam and bucky embraced nova into tight hugs. nova had tears streaming down her face — she was happy but also emotional.

"congratulations!" bucky cheered as he brought peter in for a hug. bucky had gotten over his whole don't mess with my daughter thing. he wouldn't say it, but he thought of peter as his son in a way — and he was glad that nova had him in his life.

"wait there's more." nova muttered as she and peter stood beside each other, hands intertwined.

bucky let out a dramatic groan, so did sam. "more?"

"the weddings being moved up." when the two older adults sent peter and nova a glance, nova hurried to finish. "we have two months."

"what the fudge—"

[ two months later ]

"would you like me to drive the get away car?" sam wilson asked as he stepped into the room where nova was finishing up with any last things: like her hair and makeup.

nova laughed but sent sam a look that almost said she did. "what if im not a good wife?" she asked as she rested a hand on her stomach, that was growing at a nice pace.

sam sat down on one of the benches, his hands resting on his lap. "nov, you'll be a great wife."

nova blinked away the tears in her eyes, not wanting to ruin her make up. "how do you know?"

"because of this — " sam pointed to novas heart, "and this." he then pointed to her head. "your so kind, and you have a heart of gold, nova. you love peter and he loves you. and your giving him a kid, a family. you'll be a great wife, i know it."

nova sniffled but didn't let any tears fall. "thank you. you may be my only uncle, but your my favourite."

sam grinned and stood up, bring nova into a hug. "you sure you don't need a get away car?" he asked once more as he and nova pulled away from each other.

"no, no. i want this." she told him with a nod of her head and a smile.

sam didn't say anything else as he walked out of the room and bucky walked in. "im glad your my daughter." he spoke softly.

"im glad your my dad." nova said just as softly. she wrapped her arm around buckys extended one. he was walking her down the isle.

"you ready?" he asked, his hand on the handle of the door, ready to open it.

"very." nova told him and bucky opened the door, leading the two down the isle. bucky placed a kiss to novas forehead before he handed her off to peter.

"we are gathered together here to join peter benjamin parker and nova barnes in the union of marriage..."

nova and peter had already exchanged their vows, they had done it in privet because some things that were said, were not appropriate for an audience.

"peter, do you take nova to be your wife? do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her, forsaking all others, and holding only unto her forevermore?"

peter didn't hesitate, "i do."

"and nova, do you take peter to be your husband? do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect him, forsaking all others, and holding only unto him forevermore?"

nova smiled brightly, "i do."

"and now by the power vested in me, it is my honor and delight to declare you married. you may kiss the bride."

and just like that, peter parker and nova parker sealed their new lives with a kiss.

[ seven months later ]

"you can do it, baby." peter spoke as he held novas hand and stroked novas sweaty hair back out of her face.

nova shook her head back and forth. "no, no i can't." she cried.

"you can do this baby, okay? just one more push." peter softly told her and with a reluctant sigh, nova nodded.

a few pushed later, a set of healthy cries sounded through the room. "congratulations mom and dad, a baby girl."

and on that day, abby may parker was born to two loving parents.
