“Wait!” Lily yelled in desperation.
“Huh? Did you need something?” Peter turned and asked with a smirk on his face.
“I-I...” Lily stutters, as she was too excited and befuddled to think straight.
“What? You want the music on again?” Peter asks as he walks back over and stares into the camera with an amused smile.
“Stop being mean!” She yelled in frustration.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Peter asks with a small laugh.
“Urgh...” Lily grunted as she had no words for her annoying father.
“What’s wrong, Lily?” Peter enjoys teasing his daughter.
Meanwhile, Tony snuck off into the portal, where he found Lily’s body in Peter’s lab.
...
“He really did it...” Tony muttered in shock as he pulled up a seat at the nearby computer and looked over all of the body's data.
“I see you’re being nosy as usual.” Peter says as he steps through the portal and picks up Lily’s body.
“How did you put it all together?” Tony asks as Peter walks off into the portal again with the body in his arms.
“Magic!” Peter called out as the portal snapped shut, locking Tony out of the penthouse.

“Is that me?” Lily asks as she caught sight of her body in Peter's arms.
“Yes, do you like it?” Peter asks as he sets the body down in front of Lily’s terminal. “I mixed both mine and your mom's DNA so-”
“I’ll actually be your daughter!” Lily exclaimed in surprise, though she sounded extremely happy.
“Yup, like it?” Peter asked again.
“I love it!” Lily answered like the overexcited child she was.
“Then let’s get you in, shall we?” Peter says as he connects one end of a cable to the terminal and the other to the body's head port.
...
“Wait!” Lily calls out just as Peter was about to start the transfer.
“Yeah?” Peter asks questioningly.
“What about Mommy?” Lily asks.
“Your mom is in school right now.” Peter explains with a shrug.
“But won’t she want to be here?” Lily asks worriedly.
“Well, we can either wait for her to get out of school, or we can do it and go pick her up together?” Peter throws out an idea. “I’m sure she’ll be surprised to see you.”
“Oh! Let’s do that!” Lily sounded thrilled with Peter's suggestion. “I want to see the look on Mommy’s face when she realizes it’s me!”
“Sounds like a plan...” Peter says as he hits a few buttons on the terminal. “Are you ready?”
Peter's hand hovered over the enter key, waiting for his daughter's answer to begin.
“Y-yeah...” Lily answers nervously.
Smiling at his daughter's cute stutter, Peter hits the button.
“Daddy? I’m getting sleepy...” Lily says in confusion as she suddenly started to fall asleep for the first time since she was ‘born’.
“It’s okay, I’ll see you when you wake up.” Peter smiles as a loading bar appears on the screen.
“...” Lily couldn’t reply as she was completely unconscious within seconds.
...
After half an hour of waiting, Peter watched as the bar filled completely, finishing the transfer.
“?” Pulling the wire out of her head, Peter looked over at Lily’s body, waiting for her to wake up.
Minutes passed as Peter started to worry whether she would wake up or not. Lily should have been jolted awake when the transfer finished, so the delay wasn’t a good sign...
“Lily...” Peter sat beside her and shook her shoulder, hoping to wake her up himself. “Lily, it’s time to wake...”
“Ugh...” Lily groaned in annoyance as she turned over and swatted Peter's hand away. “Go away. I’m trying to sleep.”
Sighing in relief, Peter watched as Lily’s eyes shot open in realization.
“...” Turning her head to Peter, Lily grabbed the hand that she just slapped away only moments ago. “You’re so warm...”
Peter smiles warmly at the look of wonder that appeared on his daughter's face.
“I can feel!” Lily suddenly exclaims as she looks down at her body. “And I have legs!”
“Well, I would be worried if you didn’t.” Peter says with a laugh as Lily starts inspecting every part of her body.
...
“What's this?” Lily asks as her hand went into the front of her pants. “There’s a hole? Am I dying!?”
Acting quickly, Peter pulls her arm out with an uncomfortable look on his face.
“Everything is normal. Your mother will explain that later.” Peter throws all of the responsibility to MJ. “Just don’t do that again.”
“Uhh... okay?” Lily nods her head in confusion.
‘I should have put bodily education on her list of homework...’ Peter thought in regret.
While Peter was regretting his lack of foresight, Lily picked herself up off the floor and tried her best to stand on two feet but...
“Ahh!” Lily screamed in fright.
Like a newborn deer, Lily stood on shaky legs for a moment before collapsing onto the penthouse floor.
“Are you okay?” Peter asks as he rushed to her side, completely forgetting the awkward situation he just experienced.
“I hit my head...” Lily's eyes begin to water as she experienced pain for the first time in her life. “It hurts, Daddy... I don’t like it”
“It’s okay. The pain will go away soon.” Peter pulls her into a hug, resting her sore head on his shoulder. ‘The Daddy’s are sure coming out today...’
...
“It’s not that bad anymore...” Lily says as she feels her head.
“Want to try and walk again? We have some time before your mom is out of school.” Peter asks.
“Y-Yeah, just catch me if I fall, okay?” Lily asks with a small hint of fear.
“Of course.” Peter says reassuringly as he lifts her up and sets her feet down on the floor. “Ready?”
“Yeah, let go.” Lily does her best to sound confident.
...
A few minutes later, after Lily tried and failed a bunch of times, Peter sat back and watched as Lily gave it another shot.
“You can do it!” Peter encourages her.
Wobbling back and forth, Lily soon finds her equilibrium and stands tall without falling.
“I did it!” She exclaims in exhilaration.
“Good job. I’m very proud of you.” Peter says some fatherly words as he steps out of the way. “Now try walking.”
“!?” Lily completely forgot about that as she stepped forward and tripped, falling backward.
“Good try.” Peter says as he caught her princess-style.
“Put me down, dad.” Lily wiggles in his arms. “I can do it.”
——————————————
In a sh*tty rust bucket of a car, Lily sat in the backseat while Peter drove toward his school.
“Don’t pout, honey.” Peter says as he peaks at her through the rearview mirror. “You’ll be able to walk on your own faster than you think.”
“I’m not a baby...” Lily says as her pout deepens. “I should be able to easily walk.”
“Sure, but you aren’t exactly a normal girl, are you?” Peter explains as he pulls up in front of the school just in time for the bell to ring, signaling the end of the school day. “Normal children take 9 to 12 months before they can even stand on their own. You did it in a few minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if you can walk by the end of the day.”
As Peter was talking, Lily looked out of the window and caught sight of her mother, who walked out of the front doors with a couple of textbooks in hand.
“That's Mommy!” Lily practically jumped in her seat.
“Hmm, you’re right.” Peter says as he turned to Lily. “Stay quiet and we’ll surprise her.”
Without uttering another word, Lily nodded her head with an excited smile on her face, completely forgetting her earlier failure.
*Honk Honk*
“Huh?” MJ and everyone else in the area turned to the sound of a loud car horn.
Pacing over to the car, MJ pulled open the door and took a seat, glaring at Peter as she slammed the door closed.
“You skipped school again...” MJ didn’t sound happy.
“Sorry, I’ll go tomorrow, I promise.” Peter says as he smirks at the rearview mirror and starts driving.
“Why are you smiling like that?” MJ asks in confusion.
“No reason.” Peter says with a small chuckle.
“What’s wrong with you?” MJ asks as she eyes him carefully. “Did Tony give you some drugs?”
“Yeah.” Peter answers with a laugh. “They’re in the backseat. Can you get them for me?”
“?” MJ looked at him funny for a moment before sighing and peeking over her shoulder. “!?”
“Surprise!” Lily exclaimed with her hands in the air.
“Uhh...” MJ turns to Peter questioningly. “Did you kidnap a little girl?”
