Susan added Jessica, Janet, Jennifer, Carol, Natasha, and Anna to the group: Future Pseudo-Aunts
Susan, Jessica, Janet, Jennifer, Carol, Natasha, and Anna are online
Natasha: Okay Susan, what's going on? And what's with the title?
Susan: Girls, big news. Cindy's pregnant.
Anna: What?!
Jessica: NO WAY!
Jennifer: Holy shit.
Carol: Oh my god.
Janet: Is this true?
Susan: Yes! Earlier, I saw Peter, Cindy, and Reed in the infirmary wing with a sonogram monitor and an apparatus on Cindy's stomach.
Anna: Huh. Wonder why Peter and Cindy didn't tell us earlier?
Jennifer: Maybe they wanted to make it a surprise.
Carol: Huh. Anyway, is the baby a boy or a girl?
Natasha: Five bucks if it's a girl.
Jessica: Betting it's a boy.
Jennifer: Calling it being a girl.
Anna: Nope. It could be a boy.
Janet: Or she may be carrying twins.
Susan: Janet's right. Cindy's carrying twins. And it's a boy and a girl.
Natasha: Wow. So, we're going to see a pair of baby spider-twins in the future then.
Susan: Yup.
Jessica: Well...you know what they say: the more, the merrier!
Janet: Yup! In nine months, we'll have a pair of spider-kids to love as our own!
Jennifer: I know right! Anyway, shouldn't we be doing something right now?
Anna: What?
Jessica: Isn't it obvious? We need to buy gifts for the upcoming baby shower!
Susan: Oh yeah!
Carol: Where and when do all of you want to meet?
Natasha: Tomorrow at the nearby café? The one near the tower?
Jessica: Good idea.
Janet: I agree with that as well. The food over there is great.
Jennifer: So, it's settled then. Tomorrow morning by the café. Anna, make sure to not look suspicious to Peter and Cindy. It would be a waste if they found out about this.
Anna: Got it. I'll make sure to get Peter and Cindy occupied with something.
Carol: Good then.
Susan: Well then, get ready for tomorrow girls!

(The next day...)
Susan, Jessica, Jennifer, Natasha, Carol, Janet, and Anna were at the café near Avengers Tower. Right now, they were trying to figure out what to buy for Cindy's baby shower.
"You made sure that Peter and Cindy weren't suspicious of you right?" Jennifer asked.
"Yes," Anna replied.
"And are you sure that they didn't notice the plans correct?" Janet asked
"Trust me. They do not know anything about this. Right now, they're at Parker Industries and they're going to be there for the whole day."
"Good," Natasha said.
"What do you think we should get?" Carol asked.
"Definitely a pair of cribs, milk bottles, baby clothes, and a lot of more baby related stuff," Jessica replied.
"Learned that from experience?" Anna asked with a smirk.
"Yup."
"So, shall we head on then to buy the gifts for the surprise baby shower for Cindy?" Susan asked.
"Yup!" the rest of the girls replied in unison.
After a few minutes of chatting in the cafe, the girls left for the mall to find the gifts to give Cindy the best surprise baby shower. As the girls explored through the mall and its shops to find the prefect gifts for the twins.
"Hey! Look at that!" Jessica pointed at a nearby window of a toy store. The girls then followed suit as they saw what caught Jessica's attention.
On display were Spider-Man and Silk Tsum Tsum plushies.
"Oh my god, we have to get these for the twins," Janet said.
"Definitely," Anna replied.
The girls then went into the shop where the plushies were displayed and bought them immediately. While they were buying the Tsum Tsum plushies, they also bought a few stuffed teddy bears and other stuffed animals. They were met with curious stares as they came out of the room with a giant bag to stuffed animals and Tsum Tsum plushies. Afterwards, the group of girls went into picking out the babies' clothes, and it was quite a battle.
Why? Simple, they were trying to figure out which baby clothes suited the twins perfectly.
"Do you think red is a great color for the twins?" Jessica asked.
"Sure. After all, their parents' costumes have a some red in there," Susan replied as she grabbed two red onesies.
"Would blue apply to that as well?" Anna asked.
"Hmm...let's go with that as well just in case," Janet replied as she grabbed two blue onesies.
"Would this work?" Anna asked as she was holding a baby sized t-shirt.
"No. Looks a little bit tacky," Natasha said.
"You sure? Looks good to me," Jennifer replied.
"Trust me. It looks a little bit ridiculous."
"Since when are you an expert on fashion Natasha?" Jessica asked with a smirk.
"It comes with being an expert spy," Natasha said.
"Wow. Anyway, how about these?" Janet asked as she was holding a pair of baby sized shorts.
"Seems perfect," Jessica replied.
Eventually, the girls got the clothes they need for the twins, which ended up with a giant pile of clothes in a shopping cart. Like what happened in the toy store, the girls were met with curious stares at the pile of baby clothes. Afterwards, they went around the mall where they bought soap, skin care products specialized for babies, blankets for babies, a diaper bag, Pumps that are easy to walk in for Cindy, a soft lounger, a diaper caddy along with the diapers, a baby monitor, some new clothing for Cindy, and any else related to babies.
"Is that all we need?" Anna asked.
"Yeah. Now we just need to go back to Peter and Cindy's apartment to give them the surprise," Susan replied.
And then the group of girls left the mall and headed to Peter and Cindy's apartment to set up the surprise.
(A few hours later...)
"I wonder why Anna texted us to come home immediately?" Peter asked as he and Cindy were getting home.
"Don't know. She did text she did have a surprise for us," Cindy replied.
"Wonder what it could be," Peter said.
As Peter and Cindy arrived at the front doors of their apartment, they noticed that the lights were off. As soon as they turned the lights on, they were instantly greeted with a pile of gifts on the living room table, along with Anna, Jessica, Susan, Janet, Natasha, Jennifer, and Carol in the living room as well.
"SURPRISE!" They yelled in unison.
Peter and Cindy were in shock at what just happened. As they were trying to process the scene in front of them, they realized that this was the surprise Anna texted about earlier.
After a few minutes of silence, Cindy was the first to speak up. "W-Wow...this...this is...quite amazing..." she said.
"Did all of you actually bought all of this?" Peter asked.
"Yup," Jessica replied with a smile. "Everyone here had a part in this."
"And I suppose Susan was the one that came with this correct?"
"Correct."
"Since when did you bought all of this?" Cindy asked.
"Today while you two were at Parker Industries," Anna replied.
"That would explain why you were in a hurry today Anna," Peter said.
"Yeah. Anyway, shall we get to the gifts then?" Natasha asked
As soon as she said that, everyone in the living room went into a frenzy. Peter and the girls were at the living room chatting about the twins and Cindy's pregnancy. As time passed by, the chats between the girls varied as well, going from asking when the twins are going to be born, to advice from Jessica about pregnancy and its issues, to the girls proclaiming themselves as the pseudo aunts of the family, and many more. Soon, the party was over, and the girls left, leaving Peter and Cindy alone in the living room.
"So...ready for the nine months ahead?" Peter asked
"I'm not sure...but I'll manage as long as I'm with you," Cindy replied with a smile on her face.
And the two knew that the next nine months were going to be one heck of a journey.
