Family vacation

The sun went down and it was starting to get cold out.

They were sitting on the beach for about an hour. Peter would go waist deep in the ocean then lie on his stomach and let the life jacket keep him afloat as the waves brought him back to shore.

“Time to go in Pete” Tony said as he and Steve were getting up and grabbing the blanket.

“Five more minutes” Peter whined.

“We have all summer buddy” Steve said trying to get Peter inside.

“How about you get out and we’ll go inside and you can have a bubble bath” Tony said knowing Peter loved his bubble bath.

“Okay” Peter got out and followed Steve and Tony inside.

“I’ll go run your bath” Tony left and went upstairs to his and Steve’s room that had the giant bath.

Peter took off his life jacket and then took off his swim trunks.

Steve rolled his eyes and picked up after Peter hanging his stuff to dry.

“Can I sleep with you guys tonight?” Peter asked looking up at Steve.

“Hmmm?” Steve said as he started walking upstairs “why should we let you?”

Peter walked in front of Steve to stop him from going upstairs “because it’s our first night here and I’m gonna be scared”

Steve pretended to think for a second “fine, you can sleep with us buddy”

Peter smiled then ran up the rest of the stairs to go see Tony.

“Is my bath ready?” Peter walked into the bathroom peeping over the bathtub.

“Yep, wanna get in?” Tony said “I see you wasted no time getting undressed”

Peter lifted his leg to get in and sat on the edge “it’s hot”

Steve came in and hugged Tony then kissed him.

“Ew!” Peter said from sitting on the ledge of the bath with one leg in.

Steve looked at him “you think that’s nasty” Steve then kissed Tony again this time with more passion.

“You guys are gross” Peter whined.

“How bout you get in and don’t worry about what we do” Tony said then kissed Steve again.

Peter rolled his eyes as he got into the bath. The bubbles were banana scented which were Peters favourite.

Peter looked up at Steve and Tony who were now sitting on the giant long white couch that was in the bathroom.

“You happy to be here Pete?” Tony asked as he was playing with Steve’s ring which he sometimes did when he was tired.

“Yeah, I’m so excited. I can’t wait to swim tomorrow in the pool together” Peter said excitedly.

“We’ll blow up your swim Dino thing so you can play with it” Steve said then he got up and kneeled by the bath.

He reached in the bath and wet his hands then grabbed some of Peters hair so it was sticking up.

Tony laughed “Hey, it’s what we used to do to him when he was little”

Steve smiled then took out his phone and took a picture of Peter.

Peter laughed as he stood up and saw his reflection in the mirror.

“You look so cute” Steve coed.

Peter just rolled his eyes as he sat back down and rinsed his hair out.

Steve held a towel out for him and Peter got out then cuddled into the towel.

“Go wait on the bed and watch something while dad and I shower then we’ll be out” Steve said and Peter made a face.

“Together?” Peter asked disgusted and Tony walked in and pat Peter on the head.

“Yep, towel is dropping in five seconds so you better run” Tony said then started counting “five, four, three, two-“

Peter ran out of the bathroom and shut the door.

“One” Tony dropped his towel then turned to Steve.

They finished showering together and a little bit of other stuff then got out got dressed in their pyjamas.

They walked out to Peter lying in the middle of the bed still in his towel watching some weird show.

“Peter,” Steve said annoyed “you didn’t get your pyjamas on?”

Peter sat up in bed “they’re all the way downstairs and I’m scared to go by myself”

“It’s okay, I’ll get them” Tony said then walked out of the room.

Steve got in bed and got under the covers. It felt so good to finally be on vacation. It was well deserved with all the stress that they were all going through.

“I’m tired papa” Peter said while he curled into Steve’s side.

“Me too buddy” Steve kissed Peters forehead and looked at his baby face. Peters cheeks were still as chubby as they were when they got him. And on some parts of Peters body he could still feel Peters baby fat.

“I got your pyjamas Pete” Tony said and then he shut the bedroom door and climbed into bed and got under the covers.

Peter unwrapped himself from his towel then he lied down and lifted his legs so he could get his pants on the he sat up and put his top on. Steve watched him then rolled his eyes at Peters struggle all because he didn’t want to stand up.

Peter crawled under the blankets and leaned against Steve’s side.

Peter had favourites when it came to sleeping. He would go through phases where he would cuddle up to Tony one night and practically sleep on top of the man then he would randomly switch and sleep on Steve. Right now the favourite was Steve.

Peter cuddled up to Steve’s side and wrapped his arm around Steve’s chest.

Steve put his arm over Peter and held him. Steve loved when he was currently Peters favourite but it was lasting quite longer than usual. It usually last about two weeks and it’s going on a month now of him being Peters favourite and he kinda just wanted him to switch to Tony now because Steve moved around in his sleep a lot and when Peter was clung to his side he found it kinda hard to do that.

“I love you dad, I love you pops” Peter said as he put his face into Steve’s side.

“I love you baby” Steve said and rubbed Peters back.

“I love you to the moon and back my baby boy” Tony said and Steve looked over at him because he was so extra.

Tony sat up and kissed Steve on the lips.

“I’m right here” Peter said because he was right under their kiss and he didn’t want to be.

“Goodnight my boys” Tony said and kissed Steve one more time then Kissed Peter on the hair.

“‘Night dad”

“Goodnight Tones”

They then fell to sleep with Peter lying on top of Steve.

At some point in the night Peter rolled off of Steve and rolled onto Tony.

Steve was the first one to wake up.

He felt the sun coming in and hitting his face. He went to go check the time but he forgot that they didn’t want clocks on their nightstands here because they wanted to go to bed and wake up when they felt like it.

Steve guessed it was about six in the morning so he got up and went into the bathroom.

Steve came out and Peter and Tony sleeping.

Peter was lying on his back with his arms above his head and his mouth parted a bit. Tony was lying on his side facing Peter and his hand was on Peters stomach.

Steve knew that they both liked to sleep late and he let them because they had all day to do nothing which was the best.

Steve went downstairs and made himself a coffee. He then went outside and just sat down to enjoy the view.

About an hour later he heard footsteps coming from inside. He got up expecting to see Tony but he saw Peter.

Peter saw him then ran over to him.

“Pops, can we go swimming?”

Steve nodded his head “sure bud, let’s go”

Steve knew Peter should probably eat breakfast first but he’d eat when Tony woke up so they could all eat together.

Peter took off his pyjama top and bottoms “where’s my bathing suit?”

Steve walked over to the chair it was hanging on and he handed it to him.

Peter put his legs through it and pulled them up. He grabbed his life jacket and put it on without having Steve tell him which Steve was thankful for.

“Wait here, I’m gonna go change quickly” Steve went upstairs to get his bathing suit and quickly changing then going back down to Peter.

“Do you wanna go in the ocean or pool?” Steve asked and Peter thought.

“Ocean now and pool later” Peter said then ran out to the ocean.

Peter got to the edge of the ocean and stopped so he could wait for Steve.

“Papa, Let’s go in together” Peter held his hand out for Steve to grab and Steve grabbed it then they stepped into the ocean together.

Peter let go and bent down to grab some sand as Steve swam out further.

Peter followed Steve until he couldn’t feel the sand anymore.

He felt the waves pulling him further into the ocean and he started freaking out.

“Papa! Papa! Help me!” Peter yelled out feeling his heart beating faster and faster as he got further and further away from the shore.

Peter felt hands on his waist and then he heard his papa.

“It’s okay Peter, I got you” Steve said as he grabbed Peter and brought him closer to the shore.

Steve held Peter under the butt as he walked out of the ocean holding Peter in his arms.

He placed Peter on his feet and bent down so he was eye level with Peter. Peter was shaking and wasn’t looking at Steve in the eyes.

“Peter, you’re okay” Steve put his hand on Peters cheek and Peter looked up at Steve then started crying.

“It’s okay Peter” Steve took off Peters life jacket so he could hold Peter with skin to skin contact.

Steve picked Peter up and carried him with one arm as Peter wrapped his legs around Steve’s waist.

Steve walked back up to the house and sat on the chair with Peter in his lap.

“It’s okay baby” Steve rubbed Peters back up and down.

“I- I was so scared” Peter cried out.

“I know you were baby but I’ve got you. I’ve always got you” Steve soothed Peter.

After Peter calmed down a bit then he shifted in Steve’s lap so that Peter was sitting on his lap with his back leaning on Steve’s chest.

They watched the ocean waves come in and go out. It was really relaxing for both of them just being content with each other.

“What are you boys doing?” Tony asked from leaning on the door way.

Steve and Peter looked up at him.

“We’re just enjoying the ocean together” Steve said as he hugged Peter closer to himself.

Tony just hummed in response as he sat down on the chair next to them.

“I drowned in the ocean” Peter said sitting up in Steve’s lap and Tony looked like he just saw a ghosts.

“No, he didn’t drown Tony,” Steve tried to clarify before Tony banned them from the ocean for the rest of the summer “he was wearing his life jacket and he drifted a bit away from the shore”

“And I drowned” Peter said and Steve lightly pinched him.

“Are you Okay?” Tony asked concerned.

“I’m fine dad”

Tony looked at Peter up and down then decided that he was okay. He stood up and stopped by the doorway.

“Wanna make some breakfast together?” Tony asked and Peter jumped off of Steve’s lap excitedly as he ran to the kitchen.

Steve stood up and kissed Tony looking forward to making breakfast with his boys.
