Bend The Definition Of Fate

The car ride felt a lot faster than actually going there. But when was it ever not. It always took hours to get to one place but then coming home it took two seconds.

When Happy pulled into the garage of the tower, Tony turned around to look at Peter in his car seat.

He was fast asleep just like Tony predicted. His head looked to be in a painful position the way it was bent to the side and Tony was sure that if that were him he would have a neck kink that would take days to go away.

Happy parked the car and turned the engine off. Tony got out then rounded the car and opened up the back door to get a close up look at a tiny Peter.

It was hard to get used to a baby Peter running around but Tony was pretty sure that he was really starting to get used to the fact that whenever he sees Peter that he’s gonna see a baby and not a teenager.

Tony undid the seat buckles then gently moved his hands under Peters arms so that he was picking the baby up. He held him close to his chest and leaned his head down a bit to smell the baby scent of Peter.

He wondered if Peter had the same smell when he was actually a baby or if it was a different one. He wondered if May would remember what baby Peter smelt like.

Tony also tried to remember if teenage Peter had smelt like this. He can’t really remember what Peter had used to smell like.

No, he was too old to still have his baby smell, right?

Tony knew that he was still really young, when he was still fifteen, not that he wasn’t still fifteen now it’s just now he’s fifteen but in a baby body and a baby mindset... okay so maybe Peter wasn’t still fifteen but he was supposed to be. Anyways, Tony just wanted to remember what Peter used to smell like and he knows that’s super weird but he doesn’t remember Peter ever smelling like a baby.

In the midst of Tony having a mental debate with himself about what baby Peter and teenage Peter smell like, he didn’t even realize that he was walking himself and Peter up to his floor.

When the elevator doors opened Tony walked out and sat down on one of the couches.

Tony sat down with Peter on his lap. He held Peter to his chest and Peters tiny legs were on either side of Tony’s lap as he rested his head on Tony’s chest.

It wasn’t too late but Peter seemed like he had to go down for a nap and Tony thought that he should probably be putting Peter down for a nap in his actual bed.

Tony held Peter close to his chest with one arm supporting Peters bottom as he walked to Peters bedroom to put him to sleep.

Tony found a box in there from all the other stuff that he ordered from before.

Tony pulled out an Iron Man onesie that he bought for Peter and he smiled as he held it up.

Tony put Peter on his changing table as he was still sleeping and carefully started to take off his pants. Once he got those off he undid the diaper straps and made a quick cleaning of getting Peter into a new diaper.

Tony didn’t know how he was supposed to get Peter into his Iron Man onesie without waking him up and he still needed to take his shirt off.

He just decided that he would carefully go for it. Tony lifted Peters top off carefully trying not to wake him up because he wasn’t so sure he would be able to get him back to sleep if Peter woke up now.

After a few minutes of carefully undressing, Peter was just in his diaper so Tony started to put Peter in his Iron Man onesie.

Thankfully Peter didn’t wake up throughout the whole changing and Tony was very grateful for that.

He picked Peter up and right when Peter was put down in his bed he started to wake up.

Tony was mentally cursing himself when he saw Peter waking up.

He knew that once Peter was awake it was gonna be hard for him to get Peter back to sleep and now that Peters eyes were opening and he was looking around Tony had no choice but to now have to deal with putting Peter back to bed.

Peter opened his eyes and saw Tony so he whined and reached his arms up for Tony to pick him up.

Tony looked down at Peter and debated if he should just leave him here and see if he falls asleep by himself or if he should pick him up.

Peter whined louder at the fact that Tony wasn’t picking him up and made intense grabby hands towards him.

Tony gave in and reached down to pick Peter up.

Once Peter was in Tony’s arms he stopped whining and put his head on Tony’s shoulder.

So he was still tired, Tony thought.

“Do you wanna have a nap?” Tony asked Peter. Peter didn’t do anything so Tony tried again “Are you tired, bud?”

Peter nodded his head against Tony’s shoulder so Tony went to go put him back in his crib.

When Tony went to go do that Peter screamed. It was right in Tony’s ear and it hurt.

“What’s wrong?” Tony asked after Peter stopped screaming.

“No” Was all Peter said.

Tony sighed. He was tired so he couldn’t imagine how tired a baby Peter was and how tiring it would be to have to be in a babies body.

“You don’t wanna go to sleep? I thought you were tired” Tony said as he moved from foot to foot with Peter clinging onto him.

“I t’red” Peter said. Tony didn’t understand. Peter was tired but he didn’t want to go to bed. It made no sense.

Tony tried to put Peter down again but Peter screamed again. Tony wanted to scream because he couldn’t understand what was up with this kid.

“Peter, please just go in your crib” Tony tried. He honestly wanted to go to sleep right now too.

Peter shook his head and grabbed onto Tony tighter “No c’ib”

“No crib?” Tony wanted to clarify.

Peter nodded his head and stuck out his bottom lip.

“But you want to go to sleep?”

“I s’ay wif’ You” Peter let go of Tony a bit and pointed to Tony’s chest then smiled a bit.

Tony felt something in his heart twist at the slight of Peter smiling like that showing his tiny baby teeth.

If the only way Peter was gonna sleep was with Tony then that’s okay. Tony could get some sleep in so it wouldn’t be that big of a problem. He would rather get some work done but he guessed that could wait a little bit as he went to sleep with Peter.

“Okay then, we’ll nap together” Tony held Peter tighter and then left Peters bedroom.

Tony walked to his room so he could sleep. He guessed that he would just put Peter in his bed with him. Maybe he’ll put some pillows up so Peter doesn’t roll off.

Once in his bedroom, Tony moved the blankets back so that he could put Peter down. Peter seemed to know what was going on because when Tony let go of him Peter immediately let go as well and crawled up to bed by the pillows.

Tony only remembers ever really sleeping with Peter once before when he was still a teenager. He remembers one night Peter must have had a really bad nightmare because he went to Tony’s room and was standing by Tony’s head.

Tony woke up to Peter standing over him in the middle of the night. Peter was clearly embarrassed but he was more scared so he asked to sleep with Tony and Tony let him.

He remembers Peter was really embarrassed in the morning because he latched onto Tony’s side in the night and woke up with his body practically on Tony’s.

Tony laughed at the memory and then got into bed with now a baby Peter.

As soon as Tony got into bed Peter crawled over to him and put his head on Tony’s chest. Tony looked down at him and smiled because it was a really cute sight.

Tony was worried that Peter would roll off the edge of the bed but Tony guessed that Peter probably wasn’t gonna leave his side the entire time they napped together.

Tony looked down at Peter and watched his eyes slowly shut. Tony continued to stay awake and just watch Peter.

His face was so young. Well, obviously it was young because Peter was a baby now but it was still weird to look at him like this.

Tony noticed that he could clearly see teenage Peter in baby Peters face.

He knows that some people don’t look at all like their baby pictures but Peter does. Peter looks almost identical from how he does now to teenage Peter.

Well, teenage Peter always had a baby face to begin with but now Tony could really see the resemblance. It was cute.

Tony was starting to really feel tired and he felt his eyes slowly start to close as he fell asleep.

When Tony woke up the first thing he noticed was that there was no heavy weight on his chest.

He opened his eyes and let it adjust to the light before looking around the room for Peter. Tony thought that Peter fell off the bed first but then he heard a giggle and looked over to see Peter lying on his stomach.

Tony sat up in bed and saw Peter on his stomach playing with what looked like a pen in his hand. Tony had to idea why Peter had a pen or where he got it from but he reached over and grabbed the pen from Peter before he got the ink all over himself.

Peter looked up at Tony and saw that he was awake then he sat up and smiled at Tony.

“Hey Pete” Tony said waving at Peter.

Peter giggled then reached his arms up for Tony to pick him up.

Peter was giggling like crazy and it made Tony laugh because it was really cute how Peter was so cute when he laughed like that.

As Tony brought Peter closer to him he smelt something weird. He sniffed again and then lifted Peter up higher to smell his diaper. Peter pooped himself.

Tony quickly moved Peter away from himself and made a face. Peter seemed to find that funny because he was laughing like crazy now.

“Okay. Okay uh...” Tony looked around not really knowing what he was looking for because he didn’t know what to do.

He had to idea how to change a diaper full of poop. He was okay with pee because that was easy but poo... no way.

Tony had no other choice though. He couldn’t leave Peter in his diaper all day just hoping for it to go away itself because that’s not fair to Peter.

Tony got out of bed and held Peter at arms length. He could still smell the poop and Peter was still laughing.

Once Tony got to Peters bedroom he put Peter on the changing table and grabbed a pack of wipes and a new diaper.

Tony carefully undid Peters Iron Man onesie no longer smiling at the fact that it was an Iron Man one and cringing at the fact that he had to take Peters poopy diaper off.

Once the onesie was off Tony held his breath and decided to just go for it. He pulled down the front of the diaper and had to back away.

He didn’t understand how someone so small could do that. Peter ate like three pieces of crackers today so he didn’t understand where it came from.

Tony grabbed a bunch of wipes but he stopped because he didn’t know where to start or what to do. He knew he was supposed to go from front to back, was that for boys too?

Tony was confused. It stunk and he was just debating on throwing the whole baby into the bath.

Tony tried to move Peters legs out of the way so it wouldn’t get any poop on it but Peter kept moving them.

Tony just decided to go for it. It took about a whole pack of wipes and almost three gags but Tony did it.

Peter was all fresh and clean. Tony left Peter lying on the changing table so he could wash his hands before he does anything else but right after he was done washing his hands and was about to put a new diaper on Peter his phone rang.

Tony pulled his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was Pepper calling him.

He answered it.

“Hey Pep-“

Tony was cut off by Pepper.

“Did you cheat on me, Tony?” Pepper sounded mad. She sounded really mad and Tony didn’t understand.

“What?” Tony spoke. Peter seemed to understand that Tony was scared or something because he stopped giggling and was looking at Tony with wide eyes.

“You heard me. Are you cheating on me? Tell me the truth, Tony. I don’t have time for this bullshit” Pepper said sounding like she was ready to come through the phone and kill Tony.

Tony didn’t say anything for a few seconds because he didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want Peter to just be lying there naked but he couldn’t put a diaper on him right now. He was too confused.

“Pepper, I didn’t cheat on you, I-I would never, I-“ Tony would never do that. He was known for being with a lot of women when he was in his twenties and early thirties but when he was in a relationship with one that lasted at least more than a month he would never cheat on them. He wasn’t a cheater and he couldn’t even imagine cheating on Pepper because there was no one better than her.

“That’s bullshit, Tony” Pepper sounded like she was crying “You’re a cheater and a liar. How could you”

Tony didn’t know what to say. He had no idea what was going on right now.

Before Tony had the chance to say anything Pepper hung up the phone and left Tony standing there confused.

He moved the phone away from his ear and put it on the changing table next to Peters head.

Tony remembered that he didn’t put a diaper on Peter yet so he grabbed a new one to do that.

Peter watched Tony’s face and saw that he was sad “Wha’ w’ong?”

Tony tried to smile for Peter but it came out as a grimace.

“I don’t know, buddy. Pepper is mad at me and I don’t know why” Tony said. He finished putting Peters diaper on and didn’t feel like putting him in any clothes right now so he picked Peter up and held him to his chest.

Tony sat down on Peters teenage bed and held Peter close to him.

“Pep mad?” Peter asked in a tiny voice and even though Tony was feeling like shit he smiled at that.

“Yeah buddy”

Peter moved away and started playing with Tony’s shirt “I not mad”

Tony laughed again and held Peter close. He heard his phone ring again so Tony stood up with Peter.

He thought it was Pepper calling him but it was Rhodey.

“Hey Rhodes” Tony said into the phone.

“What the hell, Tony” Rhodey said annoyed. Tony never really heard Rhodey mad but when he was it was kinda scary.

Tony backed up. He didn’t know what the hell he did wrong. Why was everyone calling him like this.

“You too now, platypus. I promise I didn’t do anything” Tony said.

“Well the pictures of you at the park with a baby prove otherwise” Rhodey said and Tony felt his heart stop.

Someone had gotten pictures of Peter and him at the park together. That’s why Pepper thinks he cheated.

He knew he should have never taken Peter to the park.
