"That would be your granddaughter." Peter says as May and Grace turn around in surprise, not noticing him or MJ sitting nearby. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

"Holy sh*t!" Grace exclaimed as she whipped her head around and stared at Lily's sleeping face once again.

"Shhh, you'll wake Lily up." MJ admonished her mother in a hushed tone.

"Holy sh*t." Grace whispered this time around. "She looks just like you when you were younger."

"That's Lily?" May asked rather loudly.

"Shhh!" MJ shushed once again.

"I mean... That's Lily?" May whispered in disbelief. "How did you do it."

"Peter stole my DNA and combined it with his." MJ says pointedly, as if she was blaming Peter for some horrible crime.

"How many times do I have to say that I'm sorry?" Peter asked as they already talked about this. "It's not that big of a deal..."

"You stole my DNA and made a child between us with it. I'd say that's a very big deal..." MJ refutes his claims.

"So you would rather Lily stay a machine forever?" Peter asks with a small hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Of course not!" MJ exclaims.

"Shhh!" Both May and Grace took great pleasure in returning a shush to MJ.

"Of course not..." MJ repeats in a much quieter tone. "But that doesn't mean I don't want to know when you plan to use my DNA for something so important."

"Okay, I promise to let you know if and when I need or plan to use your DNA." Peter says in exasperation.

"See, was that so hard?" MJ asks with a roll of her eyes.

"Did we just witness a couple's fight?" May asks Grace.

"I think we did." Grace replies with an amused smirk.

"I would call it more of an argument than a fight." Peter says as his and MJ's hostile mood slowly disappeared.

"Yeah, if we fought, the neighborhood would probably be destroyed." MJ nods.

"Whatever you say." May says with an uncaring shrug. "Fighting or arguing like that is actually healthy for your relationship. If you didn't fight at all or you fight constantly, there would be a serious problem. Like all things in life, you must find balance. Just make sure that you don't go to bed angry at each other. Because you'll just wake up in the same headspace and start arguing all over again."

"Did you learn that from your time with Uncle Ben?" Peter asks curiously.

"No, from a Korean Drama..." May says with a resolute nod.

'This woman watches too many Korean romance shows...' Everyone in the room thought at the exact same time.

"So, now that you two are done squabbling, should we wake the princess?" Grace asks as she wanted to meet her granddaughter.

"You could or you can sleep over and surprise her in the morning with a full breakfast." Peter says as he and MJ explain how their daughter reacted to the pizza and soda earlier.

...

After a moment of thought, everyone decided to let the princess sleep.

Lily could only nod as she stuffed her face with more and more bacon.

'We might have to start a more strict diet soon...' Peter thought as he worried about Lily getting fat. 'Though maybe she has a very high metabolism, like me?'

She seemed to have a bottomless stomach. Last night she ate four big slices of pizza and now she's already on her second plate of food.

Once the spectacle of Lily's reactions and glutinous behavior died down, May asked a good question.

"So, when is Lily starting school?" She asked the one thing that Peter didn't think about.

"Oh! I want to go to school!" Lily practically jumps out of her chair in excitement. "Kim Possible goes to high school. I want to be like her!"

"The school year is almost over, so after summer you'll be in your first year of middle school." MJ explains.

"Well, she doesn't exactly have the right paperwork at the moment." Peter says as he hasn't crafted her identity yet.

To the United States Government, Lily might as well be a ghost. She has no birth certificate or any identifying paperwork whatsoever.

At least, not yet.

"Does that mean I can't go to school?" Lily's mood instantly dropped from cheerful to disappointed sadness.

"No, it just means that I have to get some things ready beforehand." Peter explains as Lily's mood flips like a switch.

"Yes!" She exclaimed as she started happily stuffing her face once again.

"Are you going to make her your daughter on paper?" May asks as she knew doing so would complicate things.

"I'll figure it out..." Peter mutters as he tries to brainstorm for the best-case scenario.

...

The only thing Peter could think of is adoption, which would be impossible due to his status as a minor.

"May?" Peter calls out of nowhere.

"Yeah?" She replies.

"Would you be willing to sign emancipation papers?" Peter asks and a frown appears on May's face.

In the State of New York, when a child is emancipated, it means that the child no longer lives with the parents and is self-supporting.

In other words, an emancipated child is considered an adult in the eyes of the government.

Peter was only a bit over a year away from turning 18, which is the adult age recognized by the government, so being emancipated now wouldn't really change much.

(A/N: Peter is almost 17 years old BTW. He'll turn 17 in a month or two and 18 near the end of his senior year of high school.)

"Are you sure?" May sounded a bit unwilling.

After all, she would be practically signing away her parenthood, which is far different than just letting Peter grow up on his own.

"Yes, it's the only way to 'adopt' Lily." Peter explains his plan.

Of course, nobody would allow some 16-year-old kid to adopt a child, but thankfully, Peter could easily use magic to bypass all of those hurdles.

"Okay, if that's what you want..."
