Bend The Definition Of Fate

Tony fell asleep on the couch with Peter seated on his lap.

He meant to just rest his eyes and not actually fall asleep.

When Tony woke up Peter was still asleep on his lap. Tony looked at his curls and the way they hung a bit on his face. He just sat there for a few seconds and tried to take in everything.

Little did he know when he first met teenage Peter that this is where he would be right now. That same teenager sleeping on his lap in nothing but a diaper, expect the kid wasn’t a teenager anymore and was actually a baby.

Before Tony knew it the elevator doors were opening and someone was walking out.

At first Tony thought that it was Rhodey but then he turned around on the couch and saw Steve and Bucky walking in followed by Natasha.

Tony had no idea why they were coming up to his floor but he was not ready yet for them to see Peter.

The avengers knew Peter as a teenager. They met him a few times as Spider-Man at first then as Peter Parker.

Tony didn’t want to tell them that Peter was actually Spider-Man but it was pretty obvious if you knew both.

One was obviously a kid under a mask if the voice and body was anything to go by and the other was obviously just a kid.

Natasha figured it out right after she met Peter but didn’t say anything for awhile and Tony eventually decided to tell the team.

But even though they knew who Peter was now it was totally different. That kid was now a baby and Tony had no idea what to do about it.

Tony sat up a bit and held Peters head so it didn’t fall back when he sat up.

Tony didn’t have time to even try and hide Peter because Steve, Bucky and Natasha were already walking to the front of the couch.

Tony held his breath as Steve came around first and looked at Tony before looking down at the baby in a diaper on Tony’s lap.

Steve made a funny face and his eyes went wide and confused as he took in the scene.

Bucky soon followed and kinda had the same reaction as Steve.

When Natasha came over she crooked her head to the side and crossed her arms.

Tony stood up from the couch and looked at his team standing in front of him looking extremely confused.

Tony hoisted Peter up a little bit more so that he was more on his hip and he held Peter with one hand under his butt.

Steve was the first one to speak “Tony, who is this?”

Tony didn’t answer and he just looked at everybody. He mentally debated if he should tell them the truth or lie to them.

They would eventually find out the truth later and the only other option would be telling them that Peter was actually his kid and that would cause a lot of drama so he decided to go for the truth.

He held Peter a little bit closer to him as he spoke “this is Peter”

Steve looked like he was just slapped across the face and Tony normally would have laughed if it was any other situation.

“So you named your baby after Peter” Steve said thinking that Tony actually had a kid.

It was Tony’s turn to look confused “No, this is Peter. This is the kid”

When everyone didn’t say anything and still looked confused Tony tried to clarity.

“Peter came to me a few days ago like this. He got de-aged somehow and I don’t know how to change him back”

Tony watched everyone’s reactions as they took in everything that was being said.

He felt Peter shift a little bit and he knew that Peter was gonna be waking up soon and was probably gonna need a diaper change.

“So your kid got turned into a baby and you don’t know how it happened?” Natasha asked walking closer to Tony and Peter. She didn’t look like she cared that she just called Peter Tony’s kid.

Tony picked up on it though “he’s not my kid”

Tony didn’t understand why he was saying that because he’d be lying to himself if he was saying that Peter wasn’t actually his kid and he didn’t think of him like that. He would never admit that to anyone though.

“That’s what you picked up from that, Tony” Natasha uncrossed her arms and then took a step back.

“So this is Peter-“ Steve was cut off by Peter whining and moving around in Tony’s arms.

Tony looked at Peters face and saw his eyes opening. Peter brought his hands up to his eyes to rub at them.

“Hey Pete” Tony said still looking down at Peter and moving both hands to hold him now.

Peter looked up at him with his big brown eyes and his baby hair all over the place.

Peter seemed to sense someone behind him so he turned his head to see Steve, Bucky and Natasha.

Peter suddenly felt embarrassed because now everyone has seen him looking like a baby and he wasn’t so sure he was okay with that.

Peter turned back to Tony and put his head on Tony’s shoulder and tried to wrap his chubby baby arms around the mans neck.

Tony patted his diapered bottom and decided that he should probably get Peter away from everyone’s eyes because it couldn’t be fun to be the centre of attention when you look like this.

Tony was okay with Peter being the centre of his attention only because Peter was just adorable but he wasn’t so sure Peter would say the same.

“I should probably feed him now so you guys can come back later” Tony walked over towards the kitchen hoping that his team would just leave them alone now.

“Are you sure you got this?” Steve said before he made any move to walk.

Tony turned back to him “and if I didn’t you’d know what to do?”

Tony half joked but he didn’t mean to make it sound so rude.

“I’m just trying to help, Tony”

“I know. Thanks but I’m good”

Steve nodded then followed Natasha and Bucky into the elevator.

Once they were gone Tony moved to put Peter on the counter.

“They’re gone, Buddy” Tony said and stood Peter up.

Peter stood on his feet and held onto both of Tony’s fingers in his tiny hands. Peter looked back at the elevator before looking back at Tony and smiling.

“I hun’gy” Peter said looking around for something to eat over Tonys head. He found something that caught his eye and decided that he wanted some animal crackers.

Peter excitedly let go of one of Tony’s hands to point at the box of crackers. Tony turned around to see what Peter was pointing at and saw the box of crackers that Peter liked.

It gave Tony a flashback to when Peter was a teenager and when he first started coming over to the tower.

Tony didn’t really have a lot of food on his floor because he never really did eat and when he did he would just order food but after Peter came into his life he knew that he needed to get some actual food in the fridge and cupboards.

Tony tried to ask Peter what he liked to eat but Peter was too shy to ask so he would just say that he liked whatever Tony was having.

Even if it was true Tony knew that Peter needed his own food so Tony went to his apartment one day while Peter was at school to ask his aunt what Peter liked to eat.

His aunt told him everything that Peter liked to snack on and what he did and did not like.

After that Tony brought everything and put it in the kitchen and that was the first time Tony actually felt like a father towards Peter because his fridge was filled of children’s food.

You could tell there was a kid in the house just by that even if there was no kid actually in the house at the moment.

One of Tony’s business partners came up to his floor to have a meeting and he was talking in the kitchen to Tony and Tony opened the fridge and the guy had asked how old his kid was.

Tony didn’t answer and just looked at the man confused and he just said how he knew that Tony had a kid and that he was glad that he was keeping them out of the public eye.

Tony still didn’t understand what the man had said and what made him say that until later that night when the man left and Peter came over and Tony found him drinking a juice box and eating animal crackers.

At that moment Tony knew that he thought of Peter as his kid but he refused to admit it to anybody.

Tony handed Peter his box of crackers and Peter smiled and squealed really loudly. He sat down on the counter and held the box up that was now practically bigger than him and starting eating them.

Tony watched him eat and grabbed a few for himself then he remembered that Peter probably needed a diaper change.

“Do you need to change your diaper?” Tony asked then popped a cracker in his mouth.

Peter looked down at himself then shook his head and continued eating.

Tony wished there was a way to check whether or not Peter needed his diaper changed. He guessed there was a way but he didn’t know it yet.

Peter continued to eat for a little bit longer before he was full. Peter felt the wetness in his diaper and he didn’t even remember peeing. He didn’t really wanna ask Tony for him to change his diaper because it was extremely embarrassing.

Peter lifted his arms up for Tony to put him on the ground.

“Do you wanna go watch tv?” Tony asked as he picked Peter up off the counter.

“I wan’ wa’ch Sta’wa’s” Peter ran over to the couch with his bare feet hitting the floor then he collided with the couch and tried to lift himself up.

Tony walked over and helped Peter get up but he noticed that Peters diaper was a little full looking.

Peter sat down and had his legs out in front of him and Tony sat down next to him “Do you need a change?”

Peter shook his head but Tony knew that he was lying. Tony grabbed Peters arms to lift him up a bit to check but Peter pulled his arms away and whined.

“Let me check” Tony tried again but Peter gave him a dirty look and pulled away.

Tony got up to go get the diapers and wipes because he was sure that Peter needed a change.

When Tony returned Peter was sitting in the same position watching tv with his mouth open in interest.

“I’m gonna change your diaper now” Tony gently pushed Peter down on the couch and Peter didn’t even acknowledge him there as he lied down.

Tony pulled back the diaper straps and then pulled down the front of the diaper. Peter definitely needed a change and he probably should have changed Peter earlier because Peter was a bit red.

He suddenly remembered the creams that he ordered.

Tony pulled the dirty diaper out from under Peter then left him lying there as he went to go get the creams. He went into his bedroom and looked in the box. There was a bunch of creams and he kept reading them all until he found one that said for diaper rashes.

Tony grabbed the cream then went back out to the living room and found Peter still lying there on the couch naked without a care in the world.

Tony sat back down and grabbed some wipes to clean up Peters butt before putting the cream on. After Tony was done wiping he opened the cream.

He had no idea what he was supposed to do. Well he did know but wouldn’t that be weird. No it wasn’t. How could it be. Peter was a baby now with a diaper rash and it was Tony’s job to help him.

Tony thought about all the times Peters parents or even when his aunt and uncle did this for him.

Tony stuck his fingers in the cream and then used his other hand to lift Peters legs up.

When Tony first put the cream on Peters butt Peter acknowledged him for the first time.

Peter whined and looked at Tony then tried to pull away.

“You have a diaper rash, Pete”

Peter looked down to see what Tony was doing then whined again “it’s cold”

“I know but it’ll be over soon” Tony used his other fingers to put more cream on so he could do Peters front half now.

He put Peters legs down and started putting the cream around Peters penis. After he was done he looked up at Peter and Peter seemed to be really invested in his movie once again.

Tony leaned over and grabbed the diaper and then lifted Peters legs up. He slid it underneath, dropped Peters legs and did the straps up.

Tony decided to just leave Peter in just his diaper again because he didn’t really feel like going back to get Peters clothes. Plus, Peter didn’t seem to mind wearing just his diaper right now.

Peter continued to lie on his back and watch the movie. Tony picked up Peters dirty diaper and wipes then went into the kitchen to throw it out. He knew that he should probably throw it out somewhere other than the kitchen but until the stuff he ordered came in he would just have to deal with the kitchen garbage.

He washed his hands then sat back down on the couch. Peter was really into his movie just like teenager Peter would be. It made Tony smile to see Peter so into the movie.

“Boss, there is a delivery for you” FRIDAY said and Tony got off the couch excitedly because Peters crib, high chair and changing table came in.

He didn’t know why he was so excited for baby stuff to be arriving but he didn’t think much of it.

Tony was about to leave Peter on the couch but he thought better of it.

“FRIDAY, tell Steve to get the boxes” Tony said remembering Steve asking Tony if he needed help with anything.

FRIDAY was silent before speaking “Steve saids he will arrive shortly with the delivery”

Tony sat back down and looked at Peter. Peter brought his hand up to his mouth and was sucking on his thumb and Tony found that kinda odd.

Peter didn’t even seem to realize that he was doing it.

“Hey buddy,” Tong grabbed one of Peters feet to shake his foot “your new stuff is gonna be here soon”

Peter didn’t even look up at Tony and Tony laughed because it reminded him so much of big Peter.

The elevator doors opened and Steve walked in carrying a giant box.

“Where do you want this?” Steve asked hardly looking like he was struggling.

Tony stood up then thought for a second. He should just put the crib in Peters room and maybe move his bed for the time being.

“You can bring it over here” Tony led Steve over to Peters bedroom and Tony saw Steve look at Peter on the couch while he past him.

“You look like you’re struggling there, Cap” Tony joked and Steve rolled his eyes then put down the crib box in Peters room.

“Do you want me to help you build it?” Steve leaned up against the box and Tony thought that he actually had the audacity to ask that question.

“Are you seriously asking me if I need help building something” Tony looked shocked.

Steve smiled and held his hands up “oh you’re right. I should have known better”

“Damn right”

Steve laughed then left the room.

“Can I go say hi to Peter?” Steve’s eyes went soft as he turned to Tony.

“You can try but he probably won’t give you any attention with his movie playing”

Steve smiled then walked out of Peters room and into the living room. He sat down on the couch next to Peter who was still lying there sucking on his thumb. He now had his other arm raised up above his head.

“Hey Peter” Steve tried to get Steve’s attention.

Peter didn’t acknowledge him and Tony wasn’t surprised. Nothing could come between Peter and his movie.

Tony walked to the remote to hit pause. As soon as he did that Peter took his thumb out of his mouth and looked up at Steve looking mad.

“Peter, Steve wants to say hi” Tony said then sat in front of Peter on the table.

Peter looked at Steve then rolled over to face Tony “I wan’ wa’ch my mo’ie”

“Steve what’s to say hi to you”

Peter sat up and looked over at Steve.

“Hey Peter. You’re a lot smaller since I last saw you” Steve tried to joke but Peter wasn’t having it.

Peter turned to Tony again and reached out for him while whining and was close to crying.

Tony reached under Peters arms and picked him up and stood him on his lap.

“I wan’ wa’ch my mo’ie!” Peter cried out and it was right in Tony’s ear.

“It’s fine. I can go” Steve stood up and Tony gave him a sorry smile before Steve left.

“I’ll bring up the other two boxes and leave them here” Steve said already getting in the elevator.

Tony nodded.

“Peter, Steve just wanted to say hi and you were being rude” Tony tried to get Peter to look at him in the eyes but Peter kept moving his head.

Eventually Peter looked at Tony and realized that Tony was mad at him so he started crying “I sowwy! I sowwy!”

Tony stood up and rubbed Peters back to try and calm him “it’s okay buddy”

Peter continued crying and Tony noticed that it was a tired cry. He didn’t understand why Peter was tired because he just woke up from a nap.

Tony walked to Peters bedroom and gently placed Peter in his bed for a nap.

Tony decided that he would build Peters crib while he napped.
