Gaea stands near a Scandinavian coast during the Night as the Moon Light makes itself known. She remembered many things in her 5 billion years of life. Her materialization on Earth, the Degeneration of her fellow Elder Gods except for Oshtur, her mergence with Earth, her decision to allow the Dinosaurs to become extinct and allowing Mammals to evolve in their place, the rise of Pantheons, and the birth of Thor. But the very thing she remembered most recently, was the birth of Peter and Teresa. She remembered the love & pride she had for them both, the love & pride she still have.

She remembered the time that she had told by The Ancient One that Peter and Teresa are destined for something great, something that defines them. She remembered how worried she was when told about this, as she only wanted them to be kept safe. She remembered the dreams of what her son and daughter would become. And she was proud of what they had become. She sighed at the memory as her shoulders lowered, feeling guilt and regret for allowing her children to suffer, because of the Communist Red Skull, the Finisher, and the Green Goblin.

'I should've killed them myself', the Earth Mother thought with anger on her face. The one thing she wouldn't allow to happen, is letting cruel mortals tormenting and hurting her children, her babies, in the worst ways possible. Her anger faded and her face became calmer as she remembers the lullabies she sang to her little ones. The Elder Goddess of the Earth remembered when she took Peter and Teresa to the Scandinavian coast she standing in, the memories are still fresh in her mind. Her mind suddenly drifts into that memory.

Flashback; the same Scandinavian coast; before Richard Parker's death:

Under the night sky, which is filled with stars and Moon light, Gaea cradles baby Peter and baby Teresa next to her bosom as she gently rubs her children's heads, her son and daughter listening to her heartbeats. She's wearing a Winter Green hooded cloak. The sounds of the gentle waves, the soft blow of the wind, and the sounds of coastal birds can be heard. She kisses their foreheads as she starts to hum a lullaby she had heard about. Her beautiful voice makes the tune more enchanting as she starts to sing.

Sleepsong by Secret Garden; slightly altered

Law down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet

May there always be Mother Nature watching over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall of to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be Mother Nature watching over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, lai-lay

As the Mother of Pantheons finishes singing, she turns to her left, her son is asleep and only his breath can be heard. Gaea smiles warmly as she caresses Peter and Teresa's head and kisses their foreheads. 'I love you my children. I will protect you both from all harm, no matter what or who it is', she thought as she teleports back to their house and puts Peter and Teresa in their cradles. She then changes into her dark green nightgown and goes to her and her beloved's master bedroom, her husband still sleeping and snoring a little, causing Gaea to roll her eyes in amusement as she lays on the left side of the bed and kisses Richard's forehead, letting her beloved know she and her children are back, causing her husband to make a soft groan, though the groan is not one of irritation.
