{ooc - I kind of skipped the first four paragraphs you wrote as really I would be just rehashing over things that we keep talking about.}
They had reached the area where the baby formula was, and after Peter had commented, Lena did also. Though Peter soon asked if she would have liked to have been in the position to be able to breastfeed Miracle. All Lena did was raise her eyebrows a little at the comment, then he spoke more, asking if she had ever felt maternal at all. "I, uh, guess if I was able to help Miracle, then I guess I could have fed her in that way. I would love to have kids, but never really sat down to think about it." What was he getting at, she wondered. But that thought was soon shook from her head.
The next thing that Lena had said, after Peter had spoke, she was shocked at. She soon apologised for it, stating that it was uncalled for. Lena felt a worried look come over her face, forehead frowning a little. She heard Peter chuckle a little, and wondered what his reply would be to it. If her mother had heard her she would be total shock. He soon said that it was alright, admitting that it took him by surprise, and commented on what others guys might have done. Lena put her hand on her head. "I just, I have no idea where it came from. It seems that I am not thinking before I speak, which sometimes happens, but not like every time I talk in one sitting. I don't know. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut. And now I am rambling." Lena giggled a little, feeling the blush move from her face, feeling a little better.
After Lena had agreed with him about keeping the things that he bought for Miracle, Peter had then said you never know when he may need to use them. Just hearing him speak in a soft voice around Miracle made her smile a little. She had then said that she could tell that he was getting attached, and that Miracle was as well. Peter than spoke, and Lena listened to what he said. "I am sure if there is family out there that they will come in the next few hours, or the next day or two. If no one, then I guess she is yours."
Lena had then leant in, stating that the baby was adorable. Hearing what Peter said, made her smile all the more at baby Miracle. After a few moments, Lena had looked up at Peter, and the short distance between them had not gone unnoticed. Not sure what to do, Lena quickly stood up, and then went over to the trolley, asking what else they needed to get. Her mind kept thinking of the close encounter they just had, and wondered what would have happened if she had stared at him for a second longer.
Peter soon suggested maybe get some baby clothes, which made Lena nod, and then he suggested to try and get a pram and cot. Lena shock her head when he said that they wouldn't get those in the supermarket, asking if she was available for another trip. "That will be a trip to somewhere else I think. And I am free as a matter of fact." Lena then saw that there was a small assortment of baby clothes up ahead in the same aisle. She pointed them out, "There are some all in one type clothes up ahead. I guess about four should do for now." Lena pushed the trolley over to them, and looked at one, taking it off the rack, and then placed it over Miracle, to get an estimate. As it looked a bit too short, Lena put it back, and got a white set, and put it up against Miracle. "Perfect." She moved it away, and reached for another three of different pastel colours, placing them in the trolley.
She then turned to Peter, "I think that is all we are going to get here. So we might as well pay for these things, then head to another store." She looked at all the things. "Um, how are we going to carry all this stuff? I don't have a car, unless we get a taxi." She waited for Peter's reply as she pushed the trolley over to the cash register.

{ooc - its fine, sometimes we have to do that}
When Peter had asked Lena if she would have liked to be in a position to breastfeed Miracle he had realised how that may have sounded and then asked her if she had ever been maternal at all. He wasn’t really sure what he had asked her that, maybe it was because of the baby bringing them together and the fact that he was finding himself attracted to her slightly that he wanted to get a feeler on how she would react if he were to ask her on a date as he figured that not all girls would want to hook up with a single father just like not all guys liked hooking up with single mothers. Peter gave Lena a weak smile, “Sorry I’m not really sure where that came from, and I guess with Miracle here I was just sort of curious. Ever since my niece lost her unborn baby I’ve been a little broody and I always knew I would want to have a few kids, of course the right woman had to come along for that to happen and well so far she hasn’t.” The last few words were spoken in a slight sad voice which was also tinged with anger, he still hadn’t quite gotten over Becca up and leaving him the way she had with no explanation.
After Lena’s shock sentence and Peter had chuckled over it Lena soon spoke saying she had no idea where it had come from adding that maybe she should shut up then said she was rambling and began to giggle a little. Peter chuckled some more and then tilted his head to the side and winked at her, “Well, I quite like the rambling; I think it’s cute and I like listening to you talk so you should definitely not shut up.” Peter felt like he was definitely falling for this girl and somewhere deep down he was hoping that maybe she was falling for him too and he then looked down at the baby in his arms and knowing that if anything was to come of him and Lena that baby Miracle would be instrumental in it happening.
As they spoke about the obvious attachment which seemed to be happening between Peter and baby Miracle he did begin to show slight worry that even though it would good for Miracle to have family claim her that he would have lost his heart to her and then would have to give her up. When Lena then spoke saying that she was sure if there was family out there they would arrive within a few hours or a day or two and if they didn’t then Miracle was his he gave her a weak smile. “If anybody is going to claim her I hope they do it in the next few hours, not sure how easy it would be to part with her if I’ve had to care for her for a couple of days.” Even now he could feel the bond between him and Miracle was becoming unbreakable so he knew it would break his heart if family turned up after a few days or even a week or so and by legal law he would have to hand her over.
When Peter had asked Lena if she was up for another trip so they could get a pram and a cot she replied saying that she was in fact free and Peter couldn’t help but smile brightly at her response. “That’s great because I am enjoying the company.” Lena had then pointed out some baby clothes mentioning about all in ones and how four would probably be enough for now. “That sounds good to me Lena.” He then followed Lena as she pushed the trolley toward the baby clothes and soon enough was holding one up against her stating that it was perfect and then chose another few in different pastel colours. Lena then stated that they probably had everything they could get in the current store, “I agree.” Then Lena asked how they were going to carry the stuff. “Well I don’t live too far from here and I can use my ability of speed if you wanted to hold Miracle while I made a couple of trips to my apartment to drop off what we already have?” Peter asked her as they made their way to the checkout.
Moving Miracle slightly so that she was snug in his one arm, he began to help Lena unload the trolley and once everything was rung through and the lady told him the cost he handed over his credit card and soon enough with his chip pin number he had the goods paid for and again with one hand began to help bag up some of the items. When everything that could be put into bags were finished with he turned to Lena, “So do you want to take Miracle now and I’ll take some of this stuff back now and come back for the rest? I can guarantee between the two trips I’ll only be gone for a couple of minutes.” He grinned as he waited for Lena to reply before handing Miracle over getting ready to make the first trip to his apartment.

When Peter apologised for what he said, Lena kind of waved it off. Though hearing what he had to say after that made her feel for him somewhat. She had always hoped to meet the one guy who could sweep her off her feet, like what she saw in movies, get married one day and then have kids. Lena placed a gentle hand on Peter's arm. "There is no need to apologise. And I am sorry for what happened to your niece. I am sure that... that the right woman will be there for you, whatever happens with this little one." Lena looked down at Miracle, hoping that for Peter's sake that he got to keep her.
After Lena had said that she should maybe shut up, as she was rambling, Peter chuckled, and commented that it was quite a ramble. Lena looked around, then heard what he said next, which made her slowly look at him, and feel her cheeks get hot. She didn't know what to say to that at all, and it was definately new for her to be a little lost for words, as she always had a comeback. "Well, I will have to remember that then, for next time." Lena hoped that there might be a next time, maybe without Miracle, despite how she was right now. She was definately a good baby.
Lena had said that she hoped any family who were out there to claim Miracle would do that in the next few hours or a day or two. Hearing what Peter had to say in regard to that comment made her nod, not showing much expression. Lena knew how Peter was feeling towards the baby, and wondered how she would act if she was the one who had found the baby, and was having the connection. She wasn't sure if she would want to give up such a precious bundle like Miracle.
Lena gave Peter a smile when he said he was enjoying the company. Well she hadn't had complains from anyone, despite her constant rambling every now and then. Though she had learned to control it somewhat around people who didn't wish to hear her contantly talk. After finding some baby clothes that might fit Miracle, and seeing that they had gotten all they could from this store, they headed towards the checkout to pay for the items. Lena had questioned the fact of how they were going to carry all the stuff they had purchased, and Peter mentioned what he could do, and how he didn't live very far away. Lena nodded, "That will definately work." She gave Peter a bright smile, and continued to push the trolley.
Lena and Peter both unloaded the trolley for the woman behind the cash register to price all of the things they had gotten. Soon enough Peter had paid for it all, and they were soon ready to head out. He soon turned to Lena, and asked if she wanted to take Miracle, adding about how long it would take for him to get back. Lena smiled at Peter, then at Miracle, "I would love to hold her." Lena got her arms ready to take the baby, and once she had her, she cradled her safely in her arms, gving her a bright smile.
When Peter did his thing, Lena stood on the sidewalk, holding Miracle in her arms. She was looking up at Lena, which made her smile at that gorgeous face. Lena wondered what her parents were like, since Miracle was such a placid baby, who just seemed comfortable with complete strangers, who might just end up caring for her yet. As Lena was lost in thoughts, she heard a screech of tires, and in a split second she looked up and saw a car coming at her and Miracle at a fast speed. All Lena could do was gasp out in terror, and went to put her hand up to think of a spell that would protect her and the baby.
Lena squeezed her eyes shut ready to quickly say an incantation, when she felt nothing. She kept her eyes closed for a second, then slowly opened them. Lena looked around, and saw that the car was a fair distance away, and the front of it was all crumpled. As she continued to look, she saw something dissolve around them, and then looked at the baby. Lena put a hand over her mouth, gasping a little, shaking her head a little. "So you do have a power after all."

When Peter had apologised he saw Lena waving off his apology and then he had spoken about his niece Claire and how she had lost her unborn baby which had made him feel broody. He then felt Lena’s hand on his arm as she told him he didn’t need to apologise and added that she was sorry for what happened to his niece and that she was sure the right woman will be there for him whatever happens with the little one obviously referring to Miracle. Peter gave Lena a weak smile, “Thanks. I thought I had my life all mapped out you know? Eight months ago I was happily married, or so I thought, but she left me after only a couple of weeks of married life. I recently had to get the marriage annulled. I’m not upset or bitter about it anymore, but I do miss having someone special in my life, someone I can call my own and love and care for.” Peter then looked down at baby Miracle in his arms and then looked back at Lena, “Maybe that’s why I feel such a strong connection to this little one.”
When Peter had said that he quite liked the rambling finding it cute and that he liked listening to her talk and she should definitely not shut up he saw Lena’s cheeks go a little red but Peter wasn’t one to play up on that kind of thing. Lena then replied saying she would have to remember that for the next time then. Peter winked at her and tilted his head to the side again slightly as he smiled at her, “Yes you will, and I hope that there will be a next time, in fact I would very much like for there to be a next time.” He would have added that he demanded that there be a next time but figured that was taking it a little too far and decided to leave it where he did.
Once they had paid for the items at the checkout Peter had explained what he could do with regards to getting the stuff back to his apartment that they had bought so far. Lena replied saying that it would definitely work and gave him a bright smile which Peter returned. He was definitely finding it very easy to talk to Lena and the longer he was in her company the more he liked her and everything about her. Once they were outside the store Peter asked Lena if she could take Miracle while he did his thing with getting the items already bought back to his apartment. Lena replied saying that she would love to hold her getting her arms ready to take the baby from Peter. He gently placed Miracle into Lena’s arms and then smiled at the both of them together. “You look adorable together.” He couldn’t help but say, and then he kissed Miracle on the forehead and picked up the first lot of items and in a flash he was gone as he used his speed to take the items to the apartment.
He was so fast that he had already picked up the second lot and had returned in time to see a car opposite where he had left Lena and Miracle all crumpled at the front. Without thought he ran toward them both and wrapped Lena in his arms just like he was protecting his family even though nothing had been established between him and Lena, it was just his natural protectiveness coming out of him. “Are you both alright? What happened? I’m glad the car didn’t hit you.” Peter said as he then pulled out of the embrace slightly but keeping one arm wrapped around Lena and just looked on in dismay at the crumpled car.

Lena listened to what more Peter had to say, hearing about how he thought he had his life mapped out, being married, well that part caught her off guard for a split second. Though, looking at Peter, why wouldn’t someone want to marry him? Lena swallowed at the last thought she had, and continued to listen to what more he had to say. She watched him look down at Miracle in his arms, and when he said that ‘maybe that’s why I feel such a strong connection to this little one’, Lena felt a small smile creep along her lips. “Maybe having Miracle might help with that void for now.” She wondered if she might be in there as well, but really it was too early to tell.
When Peter said that he hoped that there might be a next time, adding that he would very much like to be a next time, made Lena instantly give him a cheeky grin. “Well if you play your cards right there might be.” Lena then shook her head a little, trying to stifle a giggle, and then looked up at him. “Maybe we could talk about it more, later.” Lena knew that the rest of the day was pretty much all of hers right now, so there was definitely time to chat.
After Peter had placed Miracle in Lena’s arms, she had given Miracle a smile, just loving the feel of her in her arms. She hadn’t held many, or hardly any babies, she couldn’t remember the last time she did actually. Peter than said that they looked adorable together. Lena slowly looked up at him, giving him a bright smile. “Why thank you Peter. She actually feels good in my arms too.” Lena then watched Peter kiss Miracle on the forehead, and then off he went with the first bundle of bags.
While he was only gone for a short time, a car had come towards Lena and Miracle. Though lucky for them it didn’t harm them. Lena soon realised that Miracle had been the one who had saved them both, not Lena, who had wanted to. When she looked down at Miracle, stating the obvious to her, Peter was soon back, and his arms around her. Lena blinked a few times, looking at Peter as he spoke. The event started to make Lena feel a little shaky and all she could do was hand over Miracle to Peter, and then moved towards a nearby bench, sitting down on it.
“I... we... the car just... Miracle...” Lena took a few deep breaths, and then slowly looked at Peter, trying to compose herself, “Miracle saved us both, Peter.” She closed her eyes, and put her head in her hands. She could feel her hands shaking, and took in and let out deep breaths, trying to keep herself from passing out. Lena then sat up, and looked at Peter, then looked at the car, as the owner of it came out of the driver’s side. She then looked back at Peter, “I think Miracle saved us, with some kind of shield of something.” Lena got up, but felt her legs were still not right, and quickly sat back on the bench. “I think she is like you, Peter. With an ability, I mean.”

After Peter had told Lena about his past relationship and adding that he missed having someone special in his life to love and care for and that maybe that was why he felt a strong connection to the baby he had saved he had to smile at Lena as she replied saying maybe having Miracle might help fill that void for now. That’s exactly what he was thinking but as he slowly moved his gaze from looking at Miracle to Lena he couldn’t help but wonder if Lena might also be able to fill that void. “I hope so, but maybe someone else might be able to help with that too at some point.” Peter replied knowing that it might make Lena blush but hopefully not make her feel awkward but he just couldn’t help himself but to say it. There was definitely something captivating about Lena, there was absolutely no denying that at all.
Peter had then gone into flirting mode, something that came easy to the romantic Italian and when Lena gave him a cheeky grin it made him smile and wink back at her as he tilted his head to the side slightly looking at her. When Lena said if he played his cards right there might be, he began to chuckle lightly and then winked at her again, “Is that right? Well I’ll have to make sure I have an ace up my sleeve, won’t I?” He replied and gave her a bright smile. It had been a long time since Peter had been able to enjoy himself this much and he certainly hoped that it wouldn’t be the last. When Lena tried to stifle a giggle it just made Peter chuckle some more and then Lena said that maybe they talk more about it later. Peter nodded his head maybe a little too enthusiastically, “I would like that very much.”
When Peter had handed Miracle over to Lena to hold while he used his speed ability to get the current round of shopping back to his apartment he had made a comment that they looked adorable together, well they did. Lena gave Peter a bright smile, and Peter could only smile back just as brightly at her and when she thanked him adding that she felt good in her arms, “Well that’s good because if nobody does come to claim her, she’s going to need a mother figure too isn’t she? And to be quite honest with you in the little time I have spoken to you I honestly can’t think of anyone better.” Peter said and winked at Lena again and after kissing Miracle on the forehead had made a move with the first lot of bags.
When Peter had arrived back at where he had left Lena with Miracle it was clear to see that something had happened. Peter instinctively wrapped his arms around Lena holding her tight and asked if they were both alright and what had happened adding that he was glad the car hadn’t hit them. It would seem that Lena was shaken as she didn’t say anything instead handing Miracle back to Peter and sat down at a nearby bench. Peter made his way toward her bringing the other stuff with him that he had to take back to his apartment also and then listened to what Lena had to tell him. At first it sounded like Lena couldn’t really string a sentence together and so the paramedic and nurse came out in him. “Just take in some deep breaths Lena and calm down first, everything’s going to be okay.” His voice was soft and soothing and then when Lena began to talk again he once again listened carefully to what she was saying.
So it would seem that baby Miracle had an ability right enough, so whatever it was that was probably the reason why she survived the fire in that collapsed building. He then watched as Lena put her head in her hands. Peter sat down next to Lena then and gently moved Miracle to the one arm so that he could put his other around Lena and used his hand to rub at her back gently in circular motions hoping for it to calm her down. Soon enough Lena began to talk again saying that Miracle must have some sort of shield ability and had tried standing up but she was soon sitting again as her legs gave way. Peter placed his hand on her back again as she sat back down and then she added that she thought Miracle was like him with a power. “Well it would certainly make sense seeing how she had survived that fire, I’m just glad that you are both okay, I know it sounds incredibly ridiculous but a part of me wouldn’t know what to do if I lost either of you now.” Oh he knew that he still might not be able to keep Miracle if any family stepped forward but the idea of losing Lena and Miracle in that accident, well it didn’t bare thinking about.
“Let me know when you feel calm enough again for me to take the rest of the items back to my apartment, so we can go and finish getting the rest of the immediate urgent things Miracle will need.” Peter said in a soft voice as he shifted the arm which was around Lena onto her shoulders and gently pulling her to him and then without thinking he kissed her on the side of her head, he just felt extremely protective of her, it was something else which lay deep within an Italian, the connection to the people they felt close to was always extremely strong and he couldn’t deny the underlying attraction that he was now feeling for Lena and a part of him seriously hoped she was feeling it too or he might look a fool if he decided to act on them.

Lena nodded at Peter, as he said that he hoped that Mirachle would help fill that void. She was about to look away, when he continued to talk, saying that he hoped someone else might be able to help with that too. All Lena could do was blink a little, but then gave him a warm smile. "I hope so too." It hadn't crossed her mind that Peter might be referring to herself at all. They had only just met today, but she did like being around him.
Lena giggled, then rolled her eyes at what Peter said about having an ace up his sleeves. There was definately chemistry between them, and she was kind of liking this time between them right now. She then said that they could talk about it later. Lena watched him quite enthusiastically nod his head, and heard what he had to say. "Okay." She gave him a small smile, then wondered when they might get a free minute, now that Miracle was in his life. Not that she had a grudge against the infant, she just knew that babies were a lot of work.
Lena wasn't sure where to look when Peter commented on what she said about Miracle feeling good in her arms right then. What Peter just said to her was kind of heartfelt, and it was definately bringing on the emotions. Lena blinked a couple of times, then one more time, keeping her emotions at bay, or trying to at least. She finally found her voice as she looked down at Miracle, then slowly back at Peter. "I... um... thanks." Lena took a deep breath, then smiled at him.
After the ordeal with the car, Lena had sat down on the bench, and tried to talk, but it was all broken sentences. When Peter suggested that she take in some deep breaths, that it was Lena started to do. Lena finally got out that Miracle had saved them, but then she put her head in her hands, trying to calm herself down a bit more. She sensed Peter sit down next to her on the bench, and then felt his hand on her back, but all she could think of was what just happened. Lena then said that Miracle saved them with some kind of shield, and attempted to stand up, though due to her legs not being right, she quickly sat back down on the bench.
Lena again felt Peter's hand on her back, and she got out the next part about Miracle having an ability like him. She closed her eyes for a second then looked at Peter he spoke, responding to what she had said. Again she heard him talking like he really meant what he was saying, and it again started to play on her emotions. Though this time she was finding it a bit hard to hold back the tears. So the next thing that Peter said, in regards to letting him know when she felt calm enough again, made her really lose it. Lena just barely got a nod out, when the waterworks started up.
Her hands flew to her face, and she sobbed into them. It was the worse experience she had ever been through, and it was definately not going her any good. Just thinking about what might have happened if Miracle hadn't saved them just made her cry all the more. This was the point where Peter put his arm around her shoulders, bringing her towards him, and then she felt him kiss the side of her head. Though she couldn't think about that right now, all she could think about was the situation right then, what had happened only moments earlier. Her head reached just below his shoulder, and Lena moved her hands from her face, and her arms went around Peter as much as she could, what with him still holding Miracle. She stayed in this position for a few moments, just getting her emotions out of the way.
"I am really sorry. I was moving out of the way of a cat that ran out in front of me, and I lost control of the car." Lena was starting to feel the tears subsiding, as she looked up slowly at the man who was talking to her. She could see that he was just as shaken up as she was, and he had a couple of bruises on his forehead, and some blood was evident. Lena couldn't say anything to the man, she was in too much shock over it all.

When Peter had said he hoped that Miracle might help fill the void left by Becca leaving him he had then added that maybe someone else might help fill it too referring to Lena despite only having just met earlier that day. There was just something about Lena that was appealing and he was finding himself increasingly attracted to her. When Lena gave him a smile and replied saying she hoped so too he wasn’t sure at that point if she realised he had been talking about her, but decided not to say anything else about it, as he didn’t want to make it awkward for Lena or himself. Instead he just returned her smile. Later when he would ask for her number to contact her again she might realise then that he had been referring to her.
When Peter had mentioned about having an ace up his sleeve he soon heard Lena giggle and then roll her eyes at him. He couldn’t help but chuckle along with her and realised that he really did love that giggle of hers and her smile. They just lit up her whole face and made her eyes more prominent. When Peter said he would like that very much with regards to talking more about it later Lena replied saying okay and Peter just gave her a warm smile. He did know that with having the baby in his life now that it might be difficult to organise any time together, but he was sure they could manage it somehow, even if it meant taking Miracle with him, so long as she would be safe naturally.
After the comment Lena had made about Miracle feeling good in her arms, Peter had replied saying that she looked good and if nobody came to claim her she would need a mother figure too and he couldn’t think of anyone better. He had meant those words as well. It would seem that Lena was lost for words with what Peter had said and he wondered if it was maybe too much too soon, but he was only speaking the truth and couldn’t take it back now anyway. When Lena had thanked him anyway and gave him a smile, “You’re welcome but I didn’t mean to embarrass you.” Peter said and gave her a smile back.
When Peter had told Lena to let him know when she felt calm enough so that he could get the rest of the items back to his apartment to continue shopping for the urgent items that Miracle would need he watched as Lena really began to sob. Peter’s natural instincts kicked in then and he put his arm around Lena pulling her to him and kissed the side of her head as he tried to calm her down. He hadn’t done that to try and give her the come on or anything; it was just a part of Peter’s personality and hoped that it might just be enough to calm her down. Peter soon felt Lena put her arms around him as much as she could given that he was holding onto Miracle and used the hand of the one arm that was around her to caress her arm in the hope that it would continue to help calm her down. He figured it was best to just let her get the emotion out.
A voice was soon heard apologising and explaining what had happened making it obvious to Peter that this was the man behind the wheel of the car that had almost taken out Lena and baby Miracle. Having that shield ability made the baby more of a miracle than ever in Peter’s eyes. He noticed that Lena had looked up but was unable to say anything. “It was just a nasty accident that happened through no fault of your own, that much is easy to understand. I am just glad that they weren’t seriously injured. I see that you’re bleeding, I’m a paramedic would you like me to take a look?” Even though he was holding Miracle, he knew that he could hopefully hand her over to Lena so that he could check out the man’s wounds and make sure that nothing was broken.

Lena had thanked Peter for what he said, and she had felt her face flush slightly. He said that she was welcome, but didn't mean to embarrass her. She shook her head slightly, looking down at the ground, then slowly back at Peter. "It's all good." Lena hadn't had any experience with kids, but if she could do what she could with Peter and Miracle, then she would know it would be her best.
As Lena sat there with her arms around Peter and Miracle, and Peter's arms around her, a male voice was heard. She slowly looked at the man, and had seen that he was shaken up, and had some injuries on the surface. Lena was glad that Peter spoke for the both of them to the man, and she just continued to keep herself calm enough to move on from the shock.
Peter soon asked the man if he would like him to take a look his injuries. The man nodded, and sat on the small garden bed that was opposite the bench that Peter and Lena were sitting on. Lena slowly put her arms out to take Miracle off of Peter, and once she had her in her arms, Lena sat back in the bench. While Peter did his thing, Lena felt a bit better, though obviously shaken up by the ordeal. She looked at Miracle, who was now asleep, probably from using her ability at her age already. Lena lent down, and kissed Miracle on the forehead, and then sat back in the bench, cradling Miracle till Peter was done.

When Peter said he hadn’t meant to embarrass Lena he watched as she shook her head and then looked down before looking back at him and said that it was all good. All Peter could do then was to give her a warm smile. Words just didn’t seem necessary at that point.
As Peter held Lena in a soothing embrace the voice of the driver of the car that Miracle had shielded herself and Lena from began to talk. Peter explained that it had just been a nasty accident and then couldn’t ignore the man’s injuries and told him that he was a paramedic and did he want him to take a look. The man nodded and sat on the small flower bed opposite the bench. Peter had his emergency first aid kit on him that he wears as a belt around his middle which was just as well really. “Not a problem.” Peter replied and saw Lena hold her arms out for Miracle and he placed her into Lena’s arms giving her a smile. “Thanks.” Not that he needed to say it.
Peter began to look at the guy and went into his first aid kit and pulled out a small torch. He began to shine it into the guy’s eyes and everything looked fine there. “Your eyes seem fine so I don’t think there is any concussion. You have a few superficial cuts to the face but nothing that looks as if it needs proper stitches. I’m just going to wipe the blood down with some alcoholic wipes, it might sting a little but it will keep them clean.” Peter proceeded to do that, and then went back into his kit and brought out some butterfly stitches, which worked with minor cuts to help them heal over and put them onto some of the bigger cuts that he could see.
“You should be fine, but I would advise not going to sleep for a few hours just in case, if you feel drowsy at all, then get yourself to the hospital in case there is anything I’m not able to pick up just now.” Peter said referring to concussion possibly setting in later. He then went back to where Lena was sitting with Miracle and saw that she was sleeping. “Looks like that little adventure took a lot out of our little girl.” Peter said not even aware that he had referred to Miracle as ‘their’ little girl. He knew that he still had to get the rest of the items to the flat and then a cot and pram. He looked at Lena and could see that maybe she could do with the rest.
“Why don’t I take you and Miracle back with me this time and set you up in my apartment and you can rest up on the sofa while I go and get a cot, basinet and pram for Miracle? It won’t take me long if I use my speed or flight abilities to get everything I need. I think you could do with resting up after that ordeal.” Peter suggested bending down and kissing Miracle on the forehead gently and then without a thought and as if it was the most natural thing to do he reached up and kissed Lena on the lips softly but let it linger and then after a few seconds as if he realised what he was doing he pulled away gently and his eyes searched her face, “I’m sorry but that just felt so right to do that.”

(ooc - and just for next time the small torch they call a pen light - I remember it from the first Saw movie lol)
The man sat while Peter used his pen light in his eyes, soon saying that he didn't think there was any concussion. Peter then spoke of what he would do now, in regards to cleaning him up. The man nodded, then proceeded to let Peter do what he said he would do. Once Peter's work was done, the man then listened to what Peter said next. "No worries. Thank you." He slowly got up and moved over to Lena. "I am really sorry again. I hope you are okay?" Lena was starting to feel a bit better, and nodded at the man. "It's okay, and for now I will be." The man then left them both alone with Miracle.
When Peter sat down, he commented on Miracle. Lena kind of heard what he said, when he said 'our', but didn't bother with saying anything. She guessed since they were both looking after her just now, it was kind of like she was both of theirs. "I guess it did. Maybe when she is younger, like she is, the ability might take it out of her, and she might have to wait a while for it to kick back in. Not sure how most abilities work. Just thinking I guess." Lena did wonder if maybe as Miracle got older that maybe it won't be so bad.
Peter than suggested that he take them both back to his apartment so that she could rest, and he would go and get the bigger things. Hearing him say at the end about her needing the rest after the ordeal made her realise that maybe she did need it. "I think you are right. Might do me a world of good. Don't want to be tired for the rest of the day. Thanks Peter." She gave him a small smile, really realising that his suggestion did sound wonderful.
She watched as Peter kissed Miracle on the forehead, bringing a grin to her lips. And before she could do or say anything, Peter came towards her and kissed her on the lips. If she hadn't had Miracle in her arms, Lena knew her arms would have gone around Peter. With her eyes closed during the kiss, Lena loved the way that Peter's lips felt on her own. She then kissed him back, and then soon felt Peter pull away from it. Lena slowly opened her eyes, almost feeling a little breathless. That feeling hadn't really come around for her in so long, and that was a good sign for her feelings that were starting to grow now for Peter.
Lena swallowed, then watched as Peter looked over her face with his eyes. She instantly shook her head, "No,no. No need to be sorry, cause now I want to do this." Lena then moved towards Peter, and kissed him right on the lips, just loving the feeling again. When she finally got the courage to pull away, she looked at him. "Maybe we should go. Starting to feel a little light headed, but maybe it was just part of what we just did." Lena giggled a little, starting to feel much better now, despite the accident that shook her up.

Once Peter had finished checking over the driver and told him what he should do if he felt drowsy in the next few hours the man thanked him. “Not a problem at all, it’s my job.” Peter replied and gave the man a small smile and watched as he approached Lena and apologised to her again and asked if she was okay. Peter didn’t want to interrupt their conversation and so he just smiled as Lena said that she would be okay for now.
Peter had then commented on the sleeping Miracle saying that it looked like the adventure had taken a lot out of her and had to smile slightly and nod his head as Lena replied talking more about how the baby’s ability could affect her at such a young age. What Lena was saying made perfect sense however. “I understand what you’re saying and I think you might be right. The older she gets the less energy it might take if and when she uses her power; I suppose it could be that way with all powers when you’re younger.” Peter replied not really remembering if it was like that for him or not, although probably not since all he had to do was touch someone to get their power although he did have to learn to control it, so that he could physically touch someone and not take their power, otherwise he would have to wear gloves all the time.
Peter had then suggested that he take Lena and Miracle back to his apartment so that she could rest, he didn’t even think about the fact that they had only met just earlier that afternoon and probably only had spent in the region of a couple of hours together but to Peter it felt as if he had known Lena all his life and it was just natural to suggest what he had. Lena agreed with him and then thanked him. “It’s not a problem and I do think it will do you the world of good.” While Lena rested up he could easily collect the bigger items that he would need. However instead of using his speed or flight, he would actually go and use his car, so that he would have the spacious boot and the back car seat to place the items.
After Peter had kissed Miracle on the forehead he had gone in to kiss Lena softly on the lips. It had felt natural for him to do it, but he soon pulled away and apologised to her telling her that it had just felt right. He wasn’t sure what Lena would say but he hoped that she wouldn’t get annoyed or angry at him for being forward. But Lena didn’t seem to break away from the kiss and in fact it felt like she was kissing him back. Lena soon spoke telling him there was no need to say sorry saying that she now wanted to do this and before Peter could say anything back Lena was kissing him this time. Peter closed his eyes for the brief moment of the kiss loving how it felt as much as the previous one and then he felt Lena pull away and he opened his eyes slowly.
When Lena spoke again she said that they should maybe go as she was starting to feel lightheaded adding that it might be a part of what they had just done. Peter couldn’t help but chuckle slightly, “You might be right, but better to be safe than sorry.” Peter replied and soon stood up gently taking Miracle from Lena’s arms into one of his own and then put his free arm around Lena. “Do you think you would be okay if I used my speed to get us back?” He asked and waited for Lena to reply before moving, he didn’t want to take it for granted it would be fine and then maybe make Lena feel sick.

Lena listened to what Peter had to say about her theory of Miracle and her ability. She nodded, but really for her she had no idea the physical attributes with an ability since she didn't have an actual ability, just the knowledge of spells with being a witch. "We might have to look up the possible ability and see what it can and can't do for her."
After Lena had kissed Peter back, she spoke of maybe going as she was starting to feel light headed, but it could have been due to what they had just done. Peter replied, but she nodded at what he said. "Okay." She watched him take Miracle from her, which she was secretly grateful for, as who knows what she might be like walking hom with her in her arms. It was enough to just walk there, let alone hold another in her arms, despite it being a baby. She then felt Peter put his arms around her, which she fell comfortablly into, moving closer to his own body. When he asked if it was okay for him to use his speed to get them back. Lena wondered how it would effect her, after the little incident before.
"If it is okay, maybe next time. Just don't know what effect if might have on me if you did. Sorry." She gave him a weak smile, then lent her head on his shoulder, waiting to follow him back to his place.

When Lena suggested that they might have to look up the possible ability to see what it could and couldn’t do to Miracle, Peter had to nod his head in agreement. “I agree, at least as she gets older we can explain her ability to her and she might be able to understand it better sooner rather than later.” Peter knew with reading the Activating Evolution book on Evolved Humans, not that he had read every single thing in it, but had glanced at enough to know that some of the powers when used could cause slight side effects. Like someone with telekinesis, when using it at an advanced level could give the person a severe headache or a nosebleed.
When Peter had made the comment that it would be better to be safe than sorry when Lena had made the remark about being lightheaded she replied saying okay. He then stood up and after taking Miracle from Lena into one arm he had put his other free one around her. He had then asked if she would be okay with him using his speed, but had a feeling that it would be a no, as there was no telling what using that power could do to her.
Lena soon replied saying that could they leave it until next time as she didn’t know what effect it might have on her if he did. Peter gave her an understanding smile, “Sure, next time, my apartment isn’t too far from here anyway to be honest.” He replied and then felt Lena rest her head on his shoulder and he kept his arm firmly around her and headed slowly in the direction of his apartment knowing that once he had her and Miracle settled together that he could then get the rest of the items he needed for Miracle, looking forward to what might be his new life.
