"Mommy mommy!" A voice calls out to me.

I turn my attention away from Morgan and look towards Lilith. She jumps into my arms, toppling both of us over to the soft blanket beneath us. The mixture of Morgan and Lilith's laughs cause me to laugh as well. I slowly sit up while sitting Lilith beside me.

"What was that for?" I ask while tickling her gently. 

"I missteded you," she says in between giggles.

"Oh, the whole ten feet you and Daddy are sitting away from auntie and me?" I ask and Lilith nods in response.

"You're such a goofball you know that?" Morgan tells her while kissing her cheek.

"Well she's just like her Daddy then," Peter says while walking over and lifting her up in the air. "Wanna go make a web hammock?"

"Yeah!" Lilith exclaims. Peter chuckles and takes her over to two nearby trees in our backyard.

"Her powers...they're growing stronger every day aren't they?" Morgan asks.

"Oh yeah, and they are evolving. In the past three years, she's developed her powers. Almost like a new power every year. " I say. 

"Like what?"

"So far she is able to stick to any surface, a sixth sense, and quantum portals."

"Damn." 

"Yeah...but I'm lucky to have such a supportive partner like Peter to help me," I reply with a smile. 

A moment of silence passes between Morgan and I. Looking over at Peter and Lilith, I watch them build the hammock together. Peter uses his webs a few times before crouching beside Lilith to help her aim. 

"Erin?" I hear Morgan say, 

"Hmm?" I reply without taking my eyes away from my family.

"When did you know Peter was the one for you?"

I take a moment to think.

"Well, it was back after the blip happened..."
