sometimes i think about the family peter quill left behind when yondu took him and get so sad. on the same night mr and mrs quill watched their daughter die, their grandson went missing. they know (to a certain extent) what happened to meredith, but they have no idea what happened to peter. he just… dissappeared into the night.

did they feel guilty? as if his disappearance were somehow their fault? their daughter trusted them to take care of her son after she was gone, and the moment she flatlined, peter slipped from their grasp.

did they try to postpone meredith’s funeral until they found him? did they end up just not having one, or did they give in and buried their daughter without peter?

how long did they search for him? was peter’s face on a milk carton? did they ever give up? do they still hold out hope, almost 20 years later?
