[Private room]

Peter manipulated his chi to make his body thin and appear weak. He even cast a layer of illusion magic to make it look like he is really weak.

"You ready?" Sue peeked in.

"Yeah, well, wish me luck," He said, lying down in a comfortable position.

"They already missed you. I hope they don't go insane and jump on you," Sue smiled. "Everyone is waiting."

"Thank you for everything, Miss Storm. Ok, let them in," Peter lay down on the bed. He was ready to act his part. Although he promised never to hide anything from his girls, there are certain things he prefers to stay hidden for now, mainly to avoid more misunderstandings.

His heart was racing and his palms were sweating with nervousness and fear.

He missed his family and his friends.

Although he knows his life changed a lot from the time of that explosion when he killed Green Goblin, he can't tell everyone that he has been awake for months and was training in Kamar Taj and he definitely doesn't want to explain the reason he never contacted them.

.

Sue pressed a button as the entrance of the chamber opened, letting in May and MJ first. "Take your time. I'll be just outside." She left the room.

Two pairs of soft yet trembling footsteps followed by the clacking of shoes were the sounds that met the ears of the young hero.

For a brief moment, everything seemed normal as the visitors' shadows crept across the door's frame as they walked into the room, casting their long shapes onto the wall. Peter lifted his head up as he turned toward the figures coming into the room to finally meet his eyes with the teary faces of his loving aunt and MJ.

"Peter..." May couldn't contain her happiness and affection as tears flowed out of her eyes.

"Hey, May... You look as beautiful as ever... MJ, why the long face? Wait! Did you gain a bit of weight?" Peter greeted them, putting on a smile as his nervousness ebbed away a little, his worries and anxiety replaced with his concern over the girls in front of him. It's been almost a year since he last saw them and from their expressions, he could tell how sad they were. He felt regretful for all the days he spent away and all the suffering he had caused them.

"You're an idiot," MJ complained as tears burst out of her eyes.

They walked toward the bed and sat on the chairs. May took his hand and softly whispered as she choked up, "Throwing a compliment as soon as you saw me? Even after all this time, you still got it in you..."

Her heart was jumping and her chest tightening, as May didn't know how to react to seeing him again after months, but it all melted into a puddle as she couldn't contain her emotions. She wants to hug him, kiss him, hold him close to her chest, and never let go. It was more difficult to restrain these emotions now that the joy of having him here before them made her want to cling to him, desperately trying to calm her down from all the days she lost him.

"You look thin," MJ observed.

"Hey, I heal fast. Give me a few days and your man will be as good as new. Actually, maybe even better!"

He brushed his aunt's tears from her eyes. After months of not being able to do so, it was a moment for him. "Stop crying now. I'm alright. And sorry for everything... I... I shouldn't have hid the truth from you guys."

"Hey, stop apologizing. You saved all those people and stopped Norman. Even the press were singing your praises. They are even calling you, a true hero. Can you believe even JJ praised your efforts? They even raised your statue after the news of your death leaked," May reassured him with a faint smile and a comforting rub on his head, her way of letting him know that he wasn't at fault.

"Well, most of it is due to Liz. She used fundraisers to raise money to build the statue," MJ added.

"Oh yeah. How is she doing? You girls didn't tell her about my spidey identity, right?" Peter asked, wiping away the tears from his aunt's eyes and then moving to wipe the redhead's tears off. He can't help, but notice how much his ladies have blossomed.

After a while, they calmed down...

Gwen punched his gut hard, causing Peter to bend forward in pain. "That's for making us worry," She wiped away her tears.

"Oouch! Ok. I deserve that..." Peter rubbed his stomach. Gwen hit him pretty hard and although it didn't hurt, it didn't bother Peter because he understood very well that it was due to Gwen's pent-up anger and frustration.

Michelle took this chance and did something unexpected. She grabbed Peter's cheeks and kissed him hard, pushing him on the bed and saddling on top of him. Peter was caught off guard, but after realizing what was happening, he didn't resist and instead enjoyed the kiss.

"Uhm~ Haa~" Michelle moaned as little as she pulled back, "You owe me two... No, three more dates and lots of kisses, Mr. Rebirth. I missed you..."

Peter smiled awkwardly as he nodded in agreement. He looked at the baffled faces of his other girls, who stood there with a glint of jealousy on their faces.

May wanted to kiss and hug him first, but she was being considerate and was kinda hiding her relationship with Peter. The girls knew about that, but still, she felt it awkward. Gwen and MJ, both were gunning for the kiss and were glancing at each other to see who would take the first step. It was like a war of speed. But before they could move, Michelle took the opening and stole the limelight.

"Damn you, Michelle. That was underhanded.. Tsk," Gwen cursed in her mind as she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"You sneaky brat," MJ pulled Michelle down from Peter's top.

Peter noticed that and was amused. 'Haha! These girls...' He thought.

Maddie shook her head with a smile.

"Well, that went better than I expected. I was expecting angry shouts and punches thrown at me," Peter scratched the back of his neck as he awkwardly laughed it off.

"We'll save that for later. We are too happy to get mad at you. But don't think we will let you off easily," May glared at him.

"That's right. You gotta work hard to make up for the time you disappeared and worried us," Gwen chimed in.

Michelle and Maddie nodded their heads repeatedly to emphasize their points.

Peter awkwardly laughed it off. He knew very well that he had dug himself into a grave. They are gonna suck him dry now slowly and every day till he makes up for the time he made them worry. 'I just hope my super endurance and stamina holds... Oh boy!'
