A Park Adventure
Once Tony got to his private floor, he walked with Peter into his bedroom.
Peter seemed to be in a good mood which Tony was thankful for. He didn’t like it when Peter was in a bad mood, even when the kid was a teenager.
Well, Peter was never really in a bad mood as a teenager. Tony knew he got cranky when he was tired but then he would just send the kid to bed when he was like that. Sometimes he was met with some frustrated tears but that was doable.
Tony placed Peter on top of his teenager bed and went to go get a clean diaper and wipes.
He walked back over to Peter who was standing up and biting on his fingers while drooling a bit.
Tony shook his head at the nasty baby bodily fluids and gently pulled Peters legs out so that he fall on his butt.
Peter giggled at this and tried to get up so that Tony could do it again but Tony pushed Peter back down again and laughed “I have to change your diaper first”
Peter mumbled something that Tony didn’t really understand so he decided to just get this diaper change done with.
He pulled down the front of Peters pants and tugged them down so that they were around his ankles.
Once that was done Tony undid the straps on the diaper then pulled the diaper out from under Peter while holding the kids legs up.
Tony then quickly wiped around Peters sensitive areas before deciding that he was clean enough and grabbing a new diaper then putting it on Peter.
Once that was done Tony grabbed Peter by his tiny hands and lifted him up so he was standing. As Tony went to pull Peters pants back up, Peter almost fell over and Peter giggled just before Tony caught him.
After the whole diaper changing was done, Tony picked Peter up and placed him on his hip to walk back down to Happy.
Half way there Tony thought better of it and decided that it would be best to bring a bag full of diapers.
A diaper bag.
Was he really that person. Carrying around an actual diaper bag. If the media saw this they would have a field day.
Tony carried Peter back to his bedroom and held him on his hip with one arm while he grabbed a bag and filled it up with diapers and wipes. He put in a onesie just in case.
After the bag was filled with all the baby necessities, well all the baby necessities that Tony could think of, he walked back out with Peter on his hip and the diaper bag on his arm.
Just as they were about to walk into the elevator Tony spotted Peters car seat. How could he forget that? That was the most important thing for going to the park.
“I gotta put you down for a second, bud” Tony said bending down and placing Peter on the ground.
Peter lifted his arms up and whined but Tony just shook his head “I can’t carry you. I have to carry your car seat”
Peter put his arms down and looked over at the car seat that Tony was picking up.
The car seat was black with a red outline and Tony had no idea how to set up a car seat but he did know that it was one of the safest ones out there.
Peter grabbed onto Tony’s hand that wasn’t holding the car seat. It was kinda difficult for Tony to hold a giant baby car seat a diaper bag and hold a two year olds hand all at the same time but he managed it.
When the elevator doors opened and led them out to the lobby Tony saw Happy look up from the magazine he was reading.
He immediately saw Tony and got up to go help the man.
“Let me take that” Happy said helpfully as he grabbed the car seat from Tony’s hand.
“Thanks Hap” Tony was grateful for the pain leaving his body. It was not easy carrying that thing down here with the plastic digging into his arm.
Now with both hands free Tony reached down and scooped Peter up.
Peter giggled as Tony placed him on his hip and swung the diaper bag over his shoulder probably looking like a dad. Did he just think that?
Tony looked down at Peter in his arms and noticed the way his baby hair went over his forehead. Tony smiled at it because he noticed how it extra soft it was now.
When they got outside the tower Happy led them over to the car that was parked on the side ready to take them to the park.
“Do you want me to put this in the back?” Happy asked.
“Well, not in the trunk” Tony said confused.
“Obviously not the trunk. I’m talking about the backseat”
Tony pointed to the trunk “Then why were you pointing there?”
Happy shook his head and just opened the back door and tried to put the car seat in. While Happy was struggling with putting the car seat in the car Tony was busy poking Peter in the stomach which caused Peter to giggle out and try to grab Tony’s hand but was too late every time.
Tony looked up once he heard a lot of swearing coming from Happy’s side of the car “You good there, Hap?”
Happy looked up with a red face at Tony “What do you think?”
Tony laughed and walked over to Happy’s side of the car. He held Peter tighter on his hip and bent down to help “ Step aside. I know rocket science so this will be no problem”
Happy grumbled something and stepped aside as Tony tried to figure out how to place the car seat in place.
It was hard with one hand so Tony stood up straighter and tried to hand Peter over to Happy.
“Take the kid while I do this”
Happy held up his hands and shook his head.
“Just take him. He won’t bite. Hard” Tony laughed at his own joke and tried to hand Peter over again.
“Yeah but he does poo and pee and is wearing a diaper” Happy said looking at the diaper that was peeking out from Peters pants along with his belly.
Tony made a face and then Happy just grabbed Peter from him and held him at arms length. Tony managed to get the car seat in now that he had both his hands and stood up with a proud smile.
Once he saw how Happy was holding Peter he rolled his eyes. “Kids not a bomb”
“You never know when he’ll make a bomb in his diaper” Happy said. Peter was kicking his chubby legs and was smiling at Happy showing his tiny teeth.
Tony laughed at that and took Peter from Happys arms. “Maybe I’ll let you clean his diaper next”
Happy shook his head and got into the drivers seat.
Tony laughed then turned to put Peter in the car seat.
It shouldn’t be as hard as it was to put the car seat in the car.
Tony placed Peter in the seat and tried to figure out the straps. They were really confusing but he eventually got it to work.
Soon after, Peter was secure in his car seat and they were ready to head to the park.
It took a lot but they made it.
The car ride was filled with Peter making baby noises in the back seat while Tony and Happy talked. Every so often Tony would look back to see if Peter was okay. Each time he turned around he was met with Peters chubby face smiling at him.
Happy pulled up to the park that they planned on going to. Tony made sure that it was kinda out in the middle of nowhere. They didn’t see anyone around except for what looked like a mom and two twin boys around four years old.
The park was about forty minutes from the tower and was in a forest up a dirt hill. Tony was pretty sure that no one was here because everybody who came here got murdered.
He pushed aside his horrible thoughts and stepped out of the car. As he walked around to get Peter out he looked around the area to try and pick up on everything in his surroundings.
Tony opened the back door and was met with a happy screaming Peter.
“You excited?” Tony smiled and started to undo Peters car seat buckles.
Peter giggled and held his chubby baby arms up for Tony to lift him up. Once Tony managed to get Peter out of the car seat he grabbed Peters diaper bag because he had no idea if he would need it or not.
He guessed that he would be needing it later on.
“Do you need help carrying that?” Happy asked and at first Tony thought he was referring to Peter but then Happy reached for the diaper bag out of Tony’s arm.
They walked all the way down the dirt path that Tony was pretty sure it wasn’t even an actual path with Peter bouncing on his hip as they got closer to the park.
“Down! Down!” Peter said eagerly still bouncing on Tony’s hip.
“Wait ‘till we’re closer to the park, bud” Tony didn’t want Peter running off because he’s never taken him out of the tower since he got de-aged so he wasn’t very familiar with baby Peter.
If he was anything like teenage Peter then Tony had a problem because once he put Peter down he would be off.
Eventually they got to the park and Tony was grateful for no one being there besides the mom and her two kids.
Tony put Peter down and watched as Peter stood there.
Peter stood there for a few seconds seeming to test his balance on his feet and look around at everything and then he was off.
At first Tony was worried because Peter was running around without Tony right beside him but he knew he had his eyes on him and so did Happy so they could both be on the look out.
There was a giant tree near a picnic bench and so Happy walked over there and put the diaper bag down before walking over to Tony.
“I’ll watch him, you can go sit” Happy suggested but Tony shook his head.
He would rather be with Peter right beside him and play with him.
His own dad never did that and he just wanted it to be different for Peter, even if he wasn’t actually the kids dad no matter how many times he thinks of him as a son.
At that, Tony walked over to where Peter was trying to climb up on one of the steps.
Tony was sure that Peters spidey powers were gone because if they weren’t then Peter would have been able to get on the step no problem.
Peter turned around and saw Tony walking to him so he smiled with his tiny teeth showing and ran over to the man.
Peter grabbed Tony’s hand in his and led him over to the step.
Peter lifted his arms up for Tony to grab him “Lif’ me up”
Tony smiled and then grabbed Peter by the underarms and picked him up so he was standing on the step now.
Peter started giggling and was running up and the platform. Tony tried not to freak out that Peter was up so high and was in a park that was meant for children much older than him.
Once Tony realized where Peter was going he quickly walked over to the slide ready to catch Peter at the bottom.
“I wan’ go down” Peter called out from the top. Tony looked up and saw Peters curly head looking down at him with a huge grin on his face.
“Okay, go. I’ll catch you”
Peter jumped excitedly and then Tony lost sight of him and was freaking out a little bit until he heard the familiar laugh of Peter.
The slide was a blue twisty one and so it took awhile but then Tony saw Peter come around the corner.
Peter was on his back going down with a huge smile on his face.
Tony smiled and he felt his heart get this warm feeling as he picked Peter up by the underarms and threw him into the air.
He didn’t even mean to do that, it just came so naturally and it felt so right.
Tony caught Peter in his arms as Peter giggled with his big brown eyes squeezed shut with laughter.
When Tony placed Peter on the ground again, Peter reached up for Tony’s hand and held his finger as he led him back over to the steps and demanded that he get picked up.
Tony did as he was told and picked the toddler up before settling him on the step. Peter ran back to the blue slide and Tony positioned himself to catch him at the bottom.
This time when Peter came down he came down head first and Tony was not expecting that but he picked him up either way and threw him into the air again.
When Tony put Peter down he noticed that his diaper was sagging a bit so he quickly grabbed Peters arm before he could go anywhere and put Peter on his hip.
“No! I wan’ p’ay” Peter cried and reached for the park over Tony’s shoulder.
Tony patted his back gently “After I change you, you can go play”
Peter screamed because Tony wasn’t putting him down but Tony tried to ignore that right in his ear as he went to go over to Happy.
Happy handed Tony the diaper bag and Tony grabbed it from him then looked around for a spot to change Peter.
Peters crying was making Tony get annoyed so he turned to him “Peter, stop crying. You can go play soon”
Peter looked at Tony confused and looked like he was holding in a cry then he rubbed his eyes with his fists.
Tony decided that he would just change Peter on the table because it wasn’t like anyone was around that could see him anyways.
“Hap, can you lay the blanket out from the bag?” Tony asked holding Peter in one arm and the diaper bag in the other arm.
Happy reached in the bag and pulled out a yellow and white blanket then laid it out on the table.
Tony placed Peter down thankful that he stopped crying. Tony started undoing the waist ban of Peters pants then tugged them down revealing Peters puffed out diaper.
Tony debated if he should take Peters full pants off or just leave them on around his ankles because it was kinda hard to clean Peter with his legs so close together.
Tony didn’t want to do all that extra work so he left the pants on around Peters ankles and pulled the dirty diaper out from under Peter.
Tony went to hand Happy the now dirty diaper and then when no one grabbed it from him he looked up to see Happy looking at Peter with a disgusted face.
Tony laughed and just put the diaper on the side of the table.
“You’ve never seen a baby getting his diaper changed before?” Tony jokingly asked.
“It’s not that, it’s just- he used to be a teenager. And now...” Happy tried to explain.
Tony nodded his head because it was hard for even him to process the fact that the teenager he once knew he was now changing that same kids diaper right now.
Tony finished wiping Peters butt and putting a new diaper on him before tugging his pants back up.
“I wan’ go p’ay” Peter said pointing to the park again.
“Alright. Let’s go, short stuff” Tony picked him up and placed him on his hip but then put Peter down when Peter started kicking to get put down.
Tony and Peter went back to going down the slide and up again for about thirty minutes before Tony could see that Peter was starting to get tired.
“Let’s go now, buds” Tony held his hand out for Peter and Peter nodded his head from where he was standing on the step.
Peter held his arms up for Tony to grab him and when he did Tony put him on his hip and Peter rest his head on Tony’s shoulder.
Tony rubbed his back gently loving the feeling of Peter putting his head on his shoulder like this.
“I got everything so we can get back to the car” Happy said helpfully holding up the diaper bag and the blanket.
They made their way back to the car on the dirt path and then Happy walked around to put the diaper bag away and Tony put Peter in his car seat.
It took a lot less time than the first time he had to do it but he eventually got it.
Tony knew Peter was gonna be asleep by the time they made it back to the tower because he was already dozing off.
