Chapter 6
Tony looked up at May desperately.
May tried to hold Peter down but he clearly didn’t want to wear any clothes.
“I don’t know what to do, Tony” May stood up.
Tony let go of Peter and let him roll around on the couch but he blocked it off so he wouldn’t fall off.
“I have to go to work soon,” May paused and looked up at Tony “Do you want me to take him with me?”
Tony looked at May then looked back at Peter. He felt bad putting Peter on May like this. Although he had no idea what he was doing he was sure he could try and figure it out.
“No May, it’s fine. I got him” Tony said and picked Peter up as he stood and placed him on his hip.
He felt the diaper against him and it felt different from when Peter was wearing nothing but a shirt, he was glad if Peter had an accident it wouldn’t get him wet.
“If you need me just call me” May said then walked over to Peter and kissed his head “bye baby”
Peter waved bye to May and then they watched as she went in the elevator and the doors closed.
Tony and Peter were alone together once again.
Tony walked both him and Peter back to the couch and put Peter down. Peter tried to stand on his feet but he lost balance and fell onto his butt.
Tony sat down next to him and Peter sat up and crawled over so he was sitting next to Tony.
“Do you wanna try putting this on now?” Tony asked Peter holding up his baby onesie.
Peter shook his head “not t’at” Peter pointed to the little shirt and pants that were there.
Tony reached for it and held it out. The shirt was the tiniest thing ever and Tony thought it was adorable. Peter was already a small kid even when he was a teenager. When Peter would stay over and Tony would do his laundry he couldn’t believe how small Peters shirts and pants were but now looking at actual baby clothes, it was something else.
“Yeah!” Peter said excitedly and reached for the top. Tony handed it to him and Peter grabbed it then tried to put it on. Tony watched him struggle for a bit before he decided to help him.
Tony grabbed Peters chubby baby arms and pushed them through then pushed Peters head through. Peters hair was all messy and all over the place so Tony carefully brushed Peters hair off his face with his hand.
“There you go” Tony said and Peter looked down at himself.
Peter pointed to his diaper and said something that Tony didn’t understand but he guessed Peter was asking him to take his diaper off.
“No Pete, the diaper has to stay on” Tony felt bad that the kid had to wear a diaper but he had no other options.
Peter shook his head looking frustrated “no!”
“Yes, I’m sorry-“ Tony was cut off by Peter.
“Not di’per. Pants” Peter tried to say and Tony stared at him for a second then figured out what Peter was trying to say.
“Oh! You want pants?”
Peter smiled showing his Tony teeth and clapped his hands. Tony thought it was adorable how Peter got excited over the idea of him wearing pants. Or maybe it was because Tony understood him.
Tony grabbed two pairs of pants and held them out. One of them were dark blue jeans that didn’t even look like it would fit Tony’s big toe and the other one were grey track pants that Tony secretly hoped Peter picked because then they would be matching.
Tony held them out in from of Peter and Peter looked at them both wide eyed trying to decide. Peter kept looking at them back and fourth then he got up so he was on his knees and his finger went up to his mouth. Tony watched him but he didn’t think that Peter even realized what he was doing.
Peter finally decided and he excitedly pointed to the track pants. Tony mentally screamed in excitement. Him and Peter were going to match. He didn’t know why he was so excited about that but whatever.
“Alright. Grey track pants it is then, lie down” Peter fell backwards onto his back with a laugh and looked down to see what Tony was doing.
Tony looked up at Peters chubby cheeks and his curious brown eyes looking at him.
Tony held the pants out and tried to put one of Peters legs through but it was actually harder than he thought. It was his first time ever putting pants on someone else and he never thought about doing it before but if he had he never would have thought it would be this hard.
“Put your leg straight, Peter” Tony said impatiently because Peter kept bending his leg. Peter stretched out both of his legs and Tony laughed because the way Peter did it was funny.
Peters chubs were showing and Tony couldn’t help himself so he reached out and squeezed Peters leg and felt the baby fat.
It was so cute and never in Tony’s life did he ever expect to find that cute but he couldn’t help himself. Peter kicked his leg and laughed up at Tony.
“Keep your leg straight” Tony laughed out because he was so close to let Peter just run around in his diaper.
Peter put his leg straight again and Tony managed to get both of his legs through. He lifted Peter up and then lift the pants up.
When he lifted the pants up he also lifted Peter up not really used to the light weight yet. Peter giggled into Tony’s ear and Tony thought that it was the cutest thing ever.
He put Peter back down on the ground and then decided that Peter was probably hungry so he should feed him something.
“Are you hungry, kid?” Tony heard Peters tiny bare feet hitting the floor as he ran to catch up to Tony.
Peter ran past him and Tony watched him run into the kitchen. He rounded the corner and saw Peter trying to climb the counter. Tony ran to him before he fell and put Peter back on his feet. Peter jumped impatiently in his spot and reached up.
“What do you want?” Tony asked him not really sure what was going on.
“Up! Up!” Peter reached up for something so Tony picked him up and held him under the arms until Peter got what he wanted. It was his goldfish that was in the top cabinet from when he would always eat when he came over as a teenager.
Tony put Peter back on the ground and Peter seemed content to eat his goldfish because he just walked away eating his goldfish exactly how he does it when he’s a teenager. Tony laughed because it was hard to see teenage Peter right now when the kid was not even two feet tall and Tony could see his diaper peeking out of his pants.
Tony followed Peter back into the living room where the kid, or should he say baby now, was sitting on the ground with his legs out in front of him enjoying his goldfish.
Tony just walked past him and sat on the couch and got out his phone. He checked some emails and checked to see if he heard anything back yet about Peters... situation but saw nothing.
Tony didn’t realize how much time had past but it was enough time for his back to start aching from sitting in the same spot for so long. He felt something tug at his leg and when he looked up he saw Peter looking up at him.
“What’s up?” Tony asked looking down on Peters face. His cheeks were all red like he was embarrassed and then he looked down at his crotch.
“I peed” Peter said now looking up at Tony with wide eyes.
Tony just looked at Peter for a second not really knowing what to do. Of course he would eventually have to change Peter but changing a dirty diaper is different from putting a clean one on.
“Uh, Okay. Let’s uh...” Tony paused as he tried to think about what to do.
He decided that he would just go for it and hope for the best.
Tony picked Peter up and went to go hold him against his hip but he felt the diaper and it felt full. He continued to hold Peter against himself because at least it wasn’t a wet oversized T-shirt.
He grabbed a diaper and some wipes then walked to Peters bedroom.
When he got there he paused for a second standing in the doorway to try and figure out how to do this.
“I’m just gonna put you on the bed and do this here” Tony said to no one but himself.
He put Peter on the bed and Peter lied down himself not needing to be told to.
Tony put the clean diaper and wipes aside then looked down at Peter. He got into his knees in front of Peter really needing to find a new place to do this.
“Do you know how to change a diaper by any chance, Pete?” Tony asked already knowing the answer.
Peter shook his head and looked up at Tony just waiting for him to start.
Tony just decided he had to go for it. It couldn’t be that hard.
He pulled down Peters pants and pulled them off of him then tossed them to the side. Peters diaper was sticking up and looked extremely full so Tony was not looking forward to this.
He slowly moved his hands to the straps of the diaper and pulled them off then pulled down the front of the diaper.
He looked up at Peter who was watching what was going on with red cheeks. Tony felt the second hand embarrassment from what Peter must be feeling.
Tony lifted Peters legs up by his ankles so he could pull the diaper out from underneath him. Once he did that he let go of Peters legs and folded the diaper up so it wasn’t just open.
He turned back to Peter and made eye contact. Probably the worst time to ever make eye contact with someone, Tony thought to himself. With Peter just lying there exposing everything while Tony attempted and failed to change a diaper.
Tony looked down at Peter and then pulled out some wipes and began to wipe Peters penis down not really knowing if he was doing it right.
Once he thought he did a good job he lifted Peters legs up to wipe Peters butt now.
Tony grabbed some new wipes and wiped down Peters butt then tossed the dirty wipes on top of the dirty diaper.
He let go of Peters legs and grabbed the new diaper. Once again he lifted up Peters legs and slid the diaper on then dropped the kids legs and brought the front of the diaper up then did up the straps.
Tony wasn’t sure if he actually did the whole diaper changing thing right but he guessed that he did because Peter was now clean and in a new diaper. He realized that there was a lot of leg lifting involved in diaper changes.
Proud with his work, Tony smiled and lifted Peter up “all done”
Peter shook his head from where he was seated on Tony’s hip “no, pants”
Tony looked at Peters pants and didn’t really want to put them back on because he knows he’s gonna have to take them back off again to change Peters diaper again.
Tony picked the pants up and walked back into the living room with Peter.
“Can you put them on yourself?” Tony asked Peter even though he knew he wouldn’t be able to.
He placed Peter on the ground then he sat down on the couch.
Peter nodded his head and grabbed the pants from Tony then tried to get them on. He struggled with his balance and couldn’t stand on one leg to get his foot through. Tony watched amused for a little bit longer then reached down to help Peter.
Peter looked grateful for Tony’s help but he looked annoyed that he wasn’t able to do it himself.
After Tony finished helping Peter put his pants on he sat back on the couch and took out his StarkPad so he could order some new things for Peter.
Peter lifted his arms up for Tony to pick him up on the couch and so Tony did so then put Peter next to him on the couch.
Peter sat there with his tiny body pressed against Tonys much larger one.
Tony looked up some changing tables for Peter so the whole reoccurring changing ordeal could be done easier. Tony waited for Peter to protest against what Tony was doing but nothing was said.
“I wan’ aven’r one” Peter said and Tony looked down at him in shock because he was not expecting Peter to actually help him choose one.
“I don’t think they have avengers ones, buddy” Tony said looking down at Peter and Peter stuck out his lip “how about this one?”
Tony pointed to one that he thought he liked and Peter nodded his head. It looked like a dresser with a changing area on the top.
Tony placed the order and the closed down his StarkPad and put it aside. He reached over and put Peter on his lap and held his hands at Peters hips.
“What do you wanna do?” Tony asked Peter and Peter put his little hands on Tony’s chest for balance.
Tony checked the time and saw that it was 9pm. He didn’t really know what time babies had to go to sleep at or if the same thing still applied to Peter in this situation. He guessed it did.
Teen Peters bedtime was at ten. He remembers when Peter first stayed over and May had told Tony everything Peter needed to do before he went to bed and Tony was gonna follow it because he knows if he didn’t then May wouldn’t trust him with Peter overnight again and he really wanted to have sleepovers with the kid.
May had told Tony that Peters bedtime was ten and Tony stuck to that but Peter had other plans and thought that if he was staying over at Tony’s then he wouldn’t have to go to bed so he put up a fight that night. Eventually Tony gave in and let Peter stay up until twelve and a promise not to tell May but of course Peter told her.
Thankfully May still let Peter stay over and pretty soon she trusted Tony enough to make his own rules for Peter and how Peter got to behave and do when he was with Tony. At first it was a lot of responsibility for Tony and he wasn’t used to it because he was used to May telling him how to handle a child but he eventually learned to like the responsibility and now it was the same thing just with a whole new kind of responsibility.
Surprised with himself, Tony was actually looking forward to taking care of a baby Peter.
