"Georgie? Sweetheart, you're going to be late!" Gwen called up the stairs. She smiled at the memory of her father, whom Peter had insisted their oldest should be named for.

A baby in one arm and a blue backpack in the other, Gwen glanced up at the clock. "Peter, will you go find out what your son is doing?" She yelled, now exasperated. There was no way her kids were going to be late for their first day of school.

Laying baby William down on a blanket, Gwen set down the backpack and gave her frowning daughter a hug. "It's going to be okay, Emma. It's only school."

"What if they don't like me?" The soon-to-be kindergartener dissolved into tears in her mother's arms.

"What's not to like?" Gwen smiled down at the adorable blonde in her brand new back-to-school clothes, pink backpack in tow. Emma smiled and rubbed her eyes.

At that moment, Peter came down the stairs, doubled over in laughter. Gwen stared curiously at the scene. Their oldest son was now walking down the stairs, arms folded, glaring at his hysterical father.

Now it was Gwen's turn to laugh. George was wearing one of Peter's old Spider-Man suits and had tried to stand his hair straight up like his father. The overall effect was so comical that even Emma's mouth dropped open in shock. "You're going to school like that? There is no way I'm walking in with you."

Peter instantly stopped laughing and looked at his daughter with a perfect poker face. "Hey, what do you mean by that?" He winked at Gwen, "The ladies love spandex!" The four Parkers exploded into peals of laughter and baby William began to cry.

Gwen took the now extremely red-faced third grader upstairs to fix his hair and find some suitable clothes for school.

Five minutes later, the family was standing at the end of the sidewalk waiting for the bus. Peter squatted down so that he could look into his son's eyes. "Try not to let anyone at school know about your powers, son. The world will need you someday, but until then, let's keep our spider-sense a family secret and focus on being a kid, okay?"

George threw his arms around his father's neck and smiled. "Okay, dad. I'll try."

Gwen kissed her son on the cheek and handed him his lunch. "Have a great day, sweetie."

"Bye mom!" George called over his shoulder and hopped up the stairs to board the school bus. "C'mon Em, hurry up!" He yelled.

Emma turned and gave her mom and dad each a quick hug and kiss. "Bye mom. Bye dad." She quickly followed her brother onto the bus and took the seat next to him.

They waved out the window as the bus pulled away. Peter put his arm around Gwen's shoulders and kissed his youngest son's tiny forehead. "I think we should've let him wear the suit." He grinned as she glared at him reprovingly.

They laughed and Gwen leaned her head on Peter's shoulder, hugging the baby to her chest. "I love you, Peter Parker."

"I love you more, sweetheart." Peter said, twirling a strand of her hair. Gwen smiled and tilted her head up to kiss her husband, softly and sweetly, just like old times.
