In a week Y/N would be leaving for California. This last week, there was a lot of chaos with packing, tickets and making sure she packed everything she needed. Her family was going to be staying for a week at her Dads California house then they would leave because the younger ones would need to get ready for their new school year. Y/N wouldn't be staying at a dorm because of the Tony Stark pull they let her live off-campus.
Even threw all of the chaos, Y/N was trying to live in the moment because after this nothing would be the same as it was.
All of the Y/Ns clothes and personal things had been shipped to their California house and they would be going shopping for furniture in California.
It was finally August 14th. Everybody woke up early since they had a morning flight. The flight would be around 6 hours.
"Everybody get your things and get in the car!" Pops yelled after getting all of their luggage in the trunk. Y/N heard the pitter-patter of her sibling's feet from her room as she made sure she had everything.
Y/N grabbed her bag and looked around her bedroom memories flooding her head of everything that happened in her bedroom. Her parents, her siblings, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, her friends and Wade.
She closed the light and walked out and closed the door.
Walking to the door was like an out-of-body experience. She wouldn't be back home until thanksgiving which was 3 months away.
"Are you okay?" Steve asked bringing Y/N out of her thoughts. "I'm fine Pops," Y/N answered looking around her house. "Just gonna miss this place," Y/N added. "We're all gonna miss you too Y/N," Pops said hugging her. "Hey come on no tears right now. We have a plane to catch." Tony said clapping his hands.
"Nobody is crying," Y/N said pulling away from her father. "Your Pops is." He said pointing at his husband. "Sorry. I just believe you're so grown up now." Steve said wiping his tears. "Oh come on Pops don't cry," Y/N said hugging him again. "Yeah, she isn't that old. You still make her doctor's appointments." Tony said making both of them laugh.
"We're five minutes behind schedule," Steve said looking at his watch. "Go get in the car."
The drive to the airport was quiet everybody had fallen asleep including Y/N.
The airport was hectic as hell. Since 7 people from their family were travelling made it worse. Steve was watching Sarah and Tony was watching Morgan. Her parents trusted the three older ones to be responsible and follow them so nobody would get lost.
It took them an hour but they finally made it to the boarding area. The plane was supposed to be leaving at 10:00 am so they had 30 minutes to chill out. Y/N ended up calling her best friend Kate Bishop and the two talked until they had to board. Kate was staying in New York for college.
Then they boarded the plane.
Y/N, Harley and Peter all sat together while Tony, Steve, Sarah and Morgan got the middle seat that 4 seats. Somehow all of them ended up being near each other.
Y/N fell asleep as soon as they got into the air and slept for more than half the flight. When she woke up she talked to her brothers and ate the food they served.
They landed in California at 1:30 pm in California time.
"Dad I'm hungry," Peter whined as they got to the car. "I'll order pizza and we can go pick it up," Pops said putting the luggage into the car.
Everybody helped put their luggage in the car and Steve ordered pizza from a restaurant close to their house. They picked the pizza up and went to their house. As soon as they got home everybody dropped their luggage and went to their respective rooms to take a nap after a tiring day of travelling.
...
The next day they got straight to business.
Y/N and Tony went to the UCLA campus and made sure everything was good and got her schedule then they went to her apartment and got the keys. Pops and her siblings went out sightseeing while they did this.
Y/N and Tony started planning out how the apartment would look and got all of the measurements done so they could go furniture shopping.
Her apartment was a small studio apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. When you walked in the kitchen was on your left and the living room was right in front. There was a small corridor that had 3 doors. 1 on the right and 2 on the left. The first door on the left lead to the laundry room and the second door leads to the bathroom. The door on the right was her bedroom.
For today they decided to get her bedroom done.
"What kinda bedroom are you trying to go for?" Dad asked as they drove to the first furniture store. "I don't know. Maybe some pinks and whites?" Y/N said scrolling on her phone and looking at designs.
"Let's see what we find at the store," Tony said and they continued driving.
...
They found practically everything Y/N wanted for her room.
It took a couple of days for everything to be built and decorated just the way Y/N wanted. Thanks to her family helping her throughout the whole process.
Y/N loved her new apartment. It was decorated perfectly and wasn't too overwhelming. It was cozy and just right. Even though Y/N had her own apartment she stayed at the California house until they all had to leave and get back to New York.
The day they had to leave Y/N was helping out in any way she could because after today they wouldn't be as close as they were.
"Are you sure I can't do anything to help?" Y/N asked watching her fathers put the suitcases into the car after they forbade her to touch them. "Nope, we have everything under control," Steve said smiling at Y/N who just rolled her eyes.
"If you really wanna be useful stop bothering us," Tony said shooing her away. "Oh god fine," Y/N said walking inside the house.
"Y/N where are your bags?" Morgan asked. "Oh bub, I'm not going back home. California is my new home." Y/N told her youngest sister crouching down to Morgan's level. "Why?" Morgan asked sadly. "Remember in the fall when school started I came back home late it was because I had soccer and now I'm going to university which is a very big school and they said I can go to this school because of so good at it. I'm staying here so I can go to a new big school that will help me." Y/N explained slowly so Morgan could understand.
"But I want you to come home," Morgan cried as her eyes began to tear up. "I'll be back home for Thanksgiving. You can call me anytime. I'll answer." Y/N said. " Y/N said. "You promise?" Morgan asked sniffling. "I pinky promise," Y/N said sticking her pinky out so she could promise properly. "Good," Morgan said hugging Y/N.
"Guys come down we're leaving!" Dad yelled coming inside with Pops following him. Y/N turned towards the stairs as her 3 siblings came down the stairs.
"Go say bye to Y/N then we gotta go," Steve said. As soon as he said Sarah ran up to Y/N and hugged her waist since she was holding Morgan. Peter and Harley hugged her on either side and Y/N felt tears well up in her eyes.
"Y/N you'll be back soon right?" Sarah asked looking up at her with tears in her eyes. "Yeah I'll be back in three months I promise," Y/N replied looking down at her little sister who hugged her tighter. "Sarah I need you to make sure your brothers don't do anything stupid." She said making the younger girl giggle.
"You two don't piss off Dads and Pops too much," Y/N said looking at her brothers. "Us? Piss Dad and Pops off? Never." Harley said sarcastically. "Call me whenever you want Petey," Y/N said looking at the boy who was staining her shirt with tears. "I will," Peter said removing his face off of Y/Ns shirt. "Sorry about your shirt." He added wiping his eyes.
"I love you all," Y/N said pulling away and handing Morgan to Harley. "We love you too Y/N/N," Harley said teasingly. They all waved at Y/N as they walked towards the door to go and sit in the car. After her siblings left Y/N turned to her parents and hugged them without even hesitating.
"Thank you for everything. I wouldn't be here without you guys." Y/N whispered loud enough that they could hear. "You deserve all of this Y/N. Thank you for accepting us in the first place." Steve said hugging his daughter tighter. "We love you Y/N and we're very proud of everything you've accomplished," Tony said kissing her forehead.
"Call us everybody and keep us in the loop of everything that happens," Pops said. "I will," Y/N said looking at her father who was crying. "Oh come Pops don't cry," Y/N said letting go of her Dad so she could hug Steve better.
"You were so small when we first met you and now you're starting University. You've grown so much it's surreal. I'm just gonna miss you a lot you haven't been away from us ever since we adopted you." He said with his voice full of tears.
"I'm gonna miss you to Pops. I'm gonna miss you and Dad so so much but we'll make it work. I told the other four that they can call me anytime they want to, you guys can do that too I'll always pick up." Y/N told him.
"You can't leave me out of this," Dad said hugging Y/N. "I'll be okay. You guys are worrying too much." Y/N said laughing softly. "It's our job to worry about you sweetheart. Who else is gonna do it?" Tony said raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah okay. You guys should get going or else your gonna be late." Y/N said pulling away even though she didn't want to. "You're right about that," Steve mumbled checking his watch with a frown.
"Go wait outside I gotta lock the house up," Tony said shaking the keys and Y/N and Pops walked outside and waited for Tony to finish locking the house up. As her Dad locked up the house Y/N took a deep breath knowing they would be leaving as soon as saying the last goodbye.
"Come here Y/N," Pops said opening his arms for a hug. "I love you, Papa," Y/N whispered into his shirt. "I love you too, doll," Steve said kissing the top of his daughter's head. "You'll be fine don't worry about anything," Steve added and gave her a final kiss on the top of her head before getting into the car where Y/N's siblings were waiting.
"Call me if you need anything, sweetheart. Aunt Pepper and Uncle Happy are here if you feel lonely. I love you Y/N. I'll come and visit you soon if there's a meeting." Tony said hugging her. "Thanks, Dad. I love you too." Y/N said hugging her father. "Call me if you need anything," Tony said kissing her forehead. "I will. Text me when you get home." Y/N told him. "I will. Bye, sweetheart." Dad said and got into the car.
Y/N watched as the car turned on and started backing out of the driveway. She waved as her family drove out of the driveway and onto the road. Before they drove off Y/N saw her whole family waving goodbye.
"Bye!" Y/N yelled. Then they were gone and Y/N was left alone standing in the driveway with her own car parked.
"I should get a pet," Y/N mumbled to herself as she sat down in her car and put the address of the closest pet store into her phone.
Y/N ended up getting a beautiful white betta fish. She got all of the proper equipment needed and a big enough tank that he could live in peacefully and happily.
She ended up naming him Stan Lee or just Stan for short :)
