A few days later
"I'm not gonna lie I'm not exactly comfortable sending my wife along to a planet we know little about to fight people we also know little about." Stephen says as all of my mates sit around the table discussing the plans for the emergence.

"She may be your wife but she's still our mate." Thena bites, Makkari resting a calming hand on her shoulder.

"Exactly, and all we need her to do is make sure the deviants get Eris and her eternals and not us, then she can go back into domo and wait for us nice and safe." Druig smiles making Stephen scoff.

"She can text me and I'll come pick her up." Stephen says Loki nodding in agreement.

"Can we stop talking about me like I'm not here." I finally chime in sensing a fight nearing.

"It's quite rude of them. Do you not believe in our mate? From what I've seen she's very capable of taking care of herself." Zemo says raising an eyebrow.

"Do you not worry about her safety? I know she's capable that doesn't mean I want to send her out into danger." Stephen bites slamming his hands into the table making it rattle.

"Okay I guess I'm just not here." I say being ignored as my mates continue to fight on whether or not sending me alone with the eternals to do this is a good idea.

Since I clearly don't matter in this discussion I leave the room and go to the living area to see Hayden and Matteo watching t.v, eating barbecue chips.

I sit between them taking the chips into my lap smiling as I see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

"This is the best one." I whisper Matteo nodding his head reaching for more chips.

"Can you believe Hayden hasn't seen a single one of these, I knew I had to show her as soon as I found out." He whispers back making Hayden shush us, her eyes glued to the screen. I silently chuckle before getting invested into the movie myself despite the amount of times I've seen it already.

Matteo POV
By the time the movie finishes mom is fast asleep on the couch barbecue chips sprawled on her chest, a small amount of drool rolling down her cheek. I take a blanket off the back of the couch moving the chips before gently resting the blanket atop of her.

"She must be tired." Hayden whispers stretching her limbs.

"She never stops." I say nodding my head motioning for Hayden to leave the room with me so mom can rest.

We hear arguing coming from down the hall and I can't help but press my ear to the door trying to listen in. Hayden stands behind me biting her nail looking around nervously.

"I don't want to get into trouble, let's go Matteo." She whispers insistently.

"Shhh." I whisper furrowing my brows trying to listen in further but don't hear any talking now.

Peter (P) POV
"We should stop, we have company." I say motioning to the door leading into the hallway my spidey senses tingling with the presence of two nosey children.

Wanda swings her hand and the door opens up making Matteo fall flat on his face, and Hayden squeal while running away.

"Does she think we didn't see her?" Nat chuckles shaking her head as Matteo gets up sheepishly.

"I heard everyone fighting and wanted to see what was going on. Hayden has nothing to do with it." Matteo says dusting off his clothes.

"It's alright, we're sorry you had to hear us fighting like that." I say.

"To be fair we still couldn't hear what about." He smiles.

"It's all settled now anyways." Thena say getting up and ruffling Matteo's hair much to his dismay.

Where's your mother? Makkari signs Druig translating for us.

"She's passed out on the couch." Matteo answers.

"Good let her sleep." Wanda says.

"Shes going to need it." Druig says making Matteos face shift.

"What does that mean? Is that why you guys were fighting?" Everyone shoots Druig a look and he pulls back his lips mouthing an apology.

"Remember the emergence the eternals stopped here? Well mama is going to help them stop one on a different planet." I say making Matteo's brow furrow.

"Sounds dangerous, whose going with her?" He asks making me smirk to myself at his level of maturity.

"Just the eternals." Stephen answers obviously displeased Matteo nods his head slowly.

"So no other moms or dads are going?" He asks clearly not liking this plan himself.

"Don't worry we won't let anything happen to your mom. We love her just like your other parents do." Gilgamesh says slowly making Matteo's worry dissipate.

"Plus the deviants weirdly adore her, they'll be right by her side." Thena says.

"Okay, just make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. She does stupid things for the people she loves." Matteo says making them all smile.

The day of the emergence Marianna POV
"This ship is fucking awesome." I say admiring domo running my hands along all of the equipment.

"Can I fly her?" I ask looking around at my mates who chuckle.

It flies itself beautiful Makkari signs making me slightly pout.

The ship begins moving on its own proving her words to be true and though I wish I could be flying this magnificent vessel, this is pretty fucking cool.

"The other eternals are waiting for us on a planet near the one with the upcoming emergence we'll pick them up before heading over to Jorba." Thena says making me snap my neck towards her.

"I'm sorry, what did you say the planet was called?" I ask having to be sure I heard her correctly.

"Jorba?" She answers confused.

"We didn't say that before?" Gilgamesh questions.

What's wrong? Are you familiar with this planet?" Makkari signs.

"Very familiar, I'm allies, and good friends with the people of this planet." I say shaking my head I should've asked about the planet beforehand, all I heard was that a planet needed help I didn't need more than that, Poseidon I need to think before I do things, Tony that son of a bitch can be right sometimes.

"You okay?" Druig asks resting a warm hand on my shoulder. I nod my head quickly.

"I just feel stupid for not asking, I know them I could've helped them sooner if I just used my head, but what's done is done, now I need to concentrate on helping them." I say with a firm nod.

Off to Jorba we go.
