Third person POV

On a rainy day in New York city a young couple was walking through the park with an umbrella.

???: I can't believe it started pouring just as we started our walk.(Grumble)

???: It happens Ben nothing to fuss about. (Gentle smile)

Ben: yeah i guess you're right, hey you know Richard called and told me he was working on some new project which he says will 'revolutionize the world' but it will take a few years for any results to come.

???:...

Ben: May are you listening

May: Shh! be quiet Ben.

May didn't say anything else and only looked into the distance and perking her ears after awhile she leaves the umbrella, tightens her raincoat and head out in the distance.

Ben: May! Where are you going! you'll catch a cold in this goddamn weather!

Seeing that she wasn't responding to his shouts Ben starts making his way to his wife before he loses sight of her, after climbing the fake hill he sees his wife near a bench under a tree and makes his way to her.

Ben: May! Atleast give a reply for gods sake! (Concerned)

But before Ben could continue he stops talking looking at the reason for his wifes odd behaviour, in May's arm was a small baby who didn't even look a year old May was cooing the little guy possibly to make him stop crying, it suddenly clicks Ben he was too focused on his talk and frustrated by the weather that he may not have heard the baby's cries instead May did.

May: Ben! Get out of your neverland and get the umbrella!

Ben came out of his stupor and ran to his wife and the kid to keep them out of the rain.

Ben: May wheres the kid's parents

May: Oh yes parents that will leave their baby in the park in the middle of a thunderstorm will just be back anytime now right. NO, Ben can't you see the kid got abandoned.

At first May was angry and sarcastic on Ben's stupid question but by the end there was clear sadness mixed within the anger, Ben stayed silent but he was also sad that such an innocent life was discarded.

May: It's not fair Ben....he's so small It's just not fair!

Ben could understand May's feelings she was not just talking about the baby but was also refuring to herself and him, his brother Richard and his wife Mary gave birth to a boy a few weeks ago but they have also been trying but have yet to hear any news and the worst part the doctors already gave them a head up of their low fertillity rate and low chance of actually conceiving and delivering a baby, Ben himself was angry at the people that abandoned the kid, why do people like them are able to give birth whereas he and his wife aren't, it truly wasn't fair.

Ben: well May before we decide anything lets get in the car, this is NO place to have a conversation.

May nodded after tugging the boy close to herself to keep him safe from the rain they went to their car and got on, Ben started the car and started driving.

Ben: So May what do you expect we do?

May was silent for a little while until she said.

May: let's adopt him Ben

Ben was very close to suddenly stopping the car but controlled himself and asked May shocked.

Ben: May are you serious!?

May: Why not Ben I'm not going to give him to a shady orphanage, i still don't trust them and besides look how we coincidentally met, there was no one else in that park and even in that weather we were able to find this little guy don't you think this is like godsend.

Ben's words died in his throat he looked at his wifes deadly "puppy eyes" and then looked at the sleeping "bundle" his eyes became extra soft and gentle.

Ben: Alright we'll go to the civil office first thing in the morning so that we can get the adoption papers but first lets go home.

May: excuse me? Where are we going?

Ben: home? (Confused)

May: No we aren't Mr Parker the baby needs a new set of clothes as well as other necessities, we are going to the market (Stern)

Ben sweatdropped and then smiled wryly he really needs to start acting like a dad or he will be scolded more times than he can count but he doesn't know why he feels like he's going to see his "gentle wife" less and less.

-William POV-

When i regained consciousness the first thing i felt in this new world was coldness and dampness, i try to open my eyes and see what was going on the first thing i found out was i was a baby and was alone on a bench in the middle of a thunderstorm and the other thing he noticed was he was scared.

Normally as a former adult he wouldn't he scared of rain or even thunder but it looks like the rebirth had caused him to act like his age and those tendencies were generating the fear he was feeling and it was only after some time he found that he was crying.

William: (please....stop.....this isn't what i wanted)

But suddenly he felt like he was picked up and hugged, the warmth was slowly offsetting the cold, slowly opening his eyes to see who it was that hugged him he sees a somewhat familiar face smiling tenderly at him and cooing him so that he would stop crying.

William: (who is this woman? And where have i seen her before?)

Ben: May! Atleast give a reply for gods sake!

William: (May?.....Wait these two couldn't possibly be Aunt May and Uncle Ben right? They seem younger than the originals)

After realizing that he was actually picked up by the couple that raised the future superhero Spider-man and hearing their conversation William only has one thought before snuggling up more to May and falling asleep again.

William: (These two really are kind)

Two hours later

William wakes up by the sound of door opening and sees that he has entered a house, he was still in May's arms while Ben....was carrying a LOT of bags.

May: So you finally decided to wake up huh sleepyhead (smile)

William: (sorry can't give you a reply, vocal cords but i can do the next best thing) gah! [Baby sound]

May: Oooh!! Aren't you the cutest little thing! Ben just put the baby's thing on the table.

William: (Wait! All that is for me....wow that truly is a lot of stuff)

Ben: alright hon!

After Ben cough!....I mean Dad put the bags on the table he also came to the living room and collapsed on the couch, those must've been heavy.

Ben: Fuuuu, well now that's taken care of i think we should decide a name for the little guy.

May: yeah you're right hmmmm how about Xander.

Ben: seriously May i was think something like Marcus.

May: It doesn't slip off the tongue easily, how about Steven.

Ben: That's good but i got another name Daniel, how's that.

May: that's good too!

Even though they were debating it was obvious they were excited, i remember that before Peter came in to their lives they themselves didn't have their own child so perhaps getting me was also like a dream come true for them, this caused me to feel warmth at the prospect of getting accepted so easily in this family and i silently waited for my new na-!

May/Ben: William!

William: (seriously! My original name, Haaah nevermind new or old from now on i will be known as William Parker)

May: Well that settles that now i think we should get ready for bed its already late but first i should feed Will.

Ben: You do that I'll get ready the Hay (bed)

Dad goes to prepare the bed, while mom takes me to the kitchen to get me a bottol.

William: (Grrrr.....well i am a baby no use getting embarassed)

As i was concentrating on eating i didn't notice the look mom was giving me.

-May's POV-

As i was about to feed my new son William, i took him out of the bundle he was in and finally noticed the clothes he was wearing.

May: (strange...he doesn't seem like he's from a poor household)

I have these thought but then i gentle sake my head and glance at my son's content expression as he drinks his milk.

May: (No matter. The past is the past, now he is my son and I'll love him like my own)

After seeing he had finished his bottle, I take little Will up and head to the bed room, today has really been long day.

-William POV- (few moments later)

After entering the bedroom i see dad is already on the bed and mom puts me down between them, i don't know if they brought a crib or not but looks like my first day in the house is going to be me sleeping with them.

May: there...all comfy?

Ben: now listen here kid I'm your dad from now, so no going around getting me scolded by your mom okay.

Dad says that while tucking me in the blanket.

May: he might not even understand you Ben, but its good to tell him we're his parents (smile)

Mom says that to dad but the end is directed to me, I think i understand what they are trying to tell me and i am genuinely happens.

"This is your Home"

I really wanna thank whoever send me to this world not only did "he" give me an headstart in my hero carrier but he also gave me a family, I fall asleep for the third time today but this time there isn't even a shred of coldness that surrounded me only warmth.
