Miguel watched over the video of his old memories. One of his biggest regrets in life was discovering the multiverse, for he couldn't have what the other Miguel's have. He broke the canon as he himself wasn't meant to become a Spiderman. Especially when the others were all normal and had their beautiful daughter. He sighed and turned off the monitors before blinking as Mayday landed in his arms. "Hello little one, what are you doing down here?" He cooed as when no one was around he was gentle and kind to Mayday. He smiled softly as he cradled her in one arm while continuing to work. "Where is your father hm? He must be looking for you." He says going through the security cameras before seeing Peter running around looking for Mayday. 

His smile softened more as he remembered his Peter, the one who was supposed to be bitten. He remembered how affectionate his partner was before he was crushed to death by a billboard during a battle with the Vulture. He couldn't help but tear up as he remembered all the years he was left to raise their daughter before Peter B Parker found himself in his universe. He thought he could fall in love again, but then his universe was destroyed. His final memory before being pulled away by Peter was his daughter trapped under a fallen streetlamp screaming for him. This almost destroyed all of his feelings for Peter making him distant. He remembers his heart shattering when he was given an invitation to his wedding, he didn't end up going claiming he was too busy but the painful truth was that he couldn't watch the love of his life get married to someone else.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when Mayday pulled on his hair as she had climbed on his shoulders while he was in deep thought. He chuckled softly and gently picked her up cradling her. "You wish for my attention hm? Well you have it." He says softly. He gently tapped a screen and put on a kids show he used to put on for his daughter. It was completely in Spanish but he knew she would enjoy the colours and movements anyway. 

It wasn't long before Peter would arrive in his dressing gown over his spider suit and sweat pants, He chuckled softly seeing Mayday with Miguel. "Why am i not surprised that she went straight to you?" He says walking over being careful not to anger the taller Latino. He couldn't help but admire Miguel, to him he was built like a Greek god. Even his skin seemed to be made by precious silk and minerals. He shook his head slightly as he had to remind himself that not only was he married but he believed Miguel hated his guts. 

Miguel looked over and sighed hearing Peter's voice. "I'm not your babysitter Peter, if you're going to bring your toddler please keep her with you." "Hey i can't help it that she's so fast, i blink and she's gone. It's like she just wants you." Peter says jokingly and froze up when Miguel looked at him from the corner of his eye. He chuckled nervously and gently picked up Mayday as she babbled happily to him. Miguel closed his eyes and sighed softly. "It's fine. Just let me work." "Miguel you work too much, you need a break." "I'm fine Petey." "Petey?" Miguel froze before growling and pushed him out of the room. "Just.....leave me alone!"
