Chapter 4
Bucky and Peter where going to be the death of the team and it was all Clint's fault. Said archer had sent two large cases of candy for the boys, before any of the adults could take them away the two had demolished the sugary snacks. That was an hour ago and the entire the cabin was destroyed.
- The front room was a war zone. Sofa's turned over, cushions torn to pieces. Broken vases, pictures and a disconnected tv laid across the floor.
- The halls where covered in paint, feathers and glitter. All thanks to Steve's idea of calming them down with painting.
- The kitchen was safe thankfully but the real fun was in the nursery. The walls had gone from a beautiful baby blue to a glitter covered rainbow of every colour, swears where painted here and there. A broken window laid in the room and toys where torn apart. The cribs where upside down but thankfully in tact. All in all it looked like a bomb hit the cabin and all the adults could do was stare at it.
"....What the heck...." Pepper says staring at the boys who look up from their hyper chatter and grin excitedly at her. "Do you-"
"Mama! We pla' an' an' look!" He showed her excitedly, Pepper groans inwardly at the sight of the new mess on the floor but puts on a small smile for the boys. Tony looks like he's going to pass out and Steve looks ready to leave.
"Ok, what about all the....mess you made?" She asks and Bucky jumps in with it and grins.
"Testin' ma arm!" He waves the artificial one excitedly. "Ni say we could" He adds on and Tony chokes a bit on his own air.
"I said test it with an adult! You don't just-you broke sofas and pictures and-" Bucky and Peter turn to him with big round eyes that scream 'You love us really' and Tony goes quiet. "Right no. If you're going to be hyper you're going to be hyper and confined." Before anyone could question it Tony grabbed Steve's arm and dragged him out the room.
"Tony!" Pepper calls as they disappear out the back door. Pepper stares at the boys in front of her who grin excitedly at her. Pepper groans at the realisation she was going to be dealing with two very hyper little boys. "Ok...no more paints, how about a nice fun bath and then...I'll take you both for a walk." She says with a grin, the boys let out a loud cheer and Pepper run (waddle) to the bathroom in excitement. She shook her head with a sigh and glared at the door Tony and Steve ran out off. "You better be getting something good." She says with a grunt and makes her way into the bathroom.
**********
Pepper grumbles a little as she finally gets Bucky clipped into the twin stroller. The bath went well enough, Peter and Bucky splashing each other and making up an incredibly adorable game with their rubber ducks. What seemed to upset them both was the idea of being in a stroller for a duration of the walk instead of using their legs although Pepper had tried to explain they where too hyper to walk without two adults that just seemed to upset them more. "Walk" Bucky repeats the word as she opens the front door to get them out.
"No Buck-a-roo. We're strolling in the woods for a bit and then when we get somewhere secluded and SAFE. Then you can run around till you crash out on the floor." She says simply, closing the door behind her. She started pushing the two down the path into the woods, smiling softly as she hears the two boys grumpily chat away.
"If I big I 'ould break da...da s'raps an'....an' toddally ge'way" Bucky says in a very serious tone, Peter snorts loudly and huffs.
"Nu-uh. I go' ma s'rength bu' I s'ill can' ge'way" Peter argues with a huff. "Da'de ma'it so we can' ge'way 'cause he mean" Pepper could practically hear the pout on his lips.
"Tha's mean." Bucky mumbles with a loud huff. "He mean. Wanna run'round." He mumbles a little and Peter mumbled a soft agreement.
"Mama an' Cap mean too. Cap make us go bed early 'cause he mean. Mama mean 'cause we can' walk or...or p'ay when we wanna. Mean." Peter mumbles in a huff and Pepper grins a bit at that.
"Pep mean an S'eve. I use'ta hafta do it to 'im bu' noooooo he go an' ge' big an' now he is the 'bestest man in 'Merica.' An' he a todal dick." Bucky grunted out and Pepper smirks a little as she walks. Her phone buzzed slightly in her pocket and she pulled it out to look whilst the boys continue to berate the adults who change them, she reads the text.
'Got a surprise for the boys when they get home.' Pepper rolls her eyes and shoots Tony a text.
'You and Steve better get to the park in the woods. I'ma kick your asses' She sent it off with a huff as she approached the park. Her feet and back where already killing.
'Love you, please don't kill me' He'd responded. Pepper snorted and thought silently before jokingly sending.
'If you bring a stroller for me to be taken home in, I'll love you forever' She wrote, a smile pulling on her face as she heard the two boys squeal at the sight of the park. She smiles and gets inside the park. Closing the gate behind her she lets the boys off lose.
"Slide!" Peter squeals loudly, running off towards the slide. Bucky joins him laughing a little, Pepper sits back and relaxes on a nearby bench, watching the two play. Around thirty minutes of the two playing the sound of Tony and Steve's voices snaps Pepper out of her trance. She looks over and almost has a heart attack at the sight of Steve pushing an adult sized stroller and Tony giving her a cocky grin.
"Oh my god no." She says quietly, putting her head in her hands with a loud groan. "I hate you." She says as the man approaches her.
"No. If I read the text correctly it says 'bring a stroller and I'll love you forever' So I believe that's an 'I love you' and a very strict get your amazing ass into the stroller." Tony orders, Pepper stares him out and he fidgets. "Please?" He tries to add and Pepper snorts standing up. Tony looks expectant until Pepper pushes him into said stroller and clips him in quickly.
"Oh Steve. I didn't know you had a son." She teases as Tony gapes at her in shock. Steve leans on the stroller's bars and starts laughing hysterically. "Though I don't think he's much older than my boys and you let him out of diapers?" She asks in 'shock'. Tony makes a loud noise of protest.
"H-Hey! I'm an adult an-and I run a Billion-" Steve ignores him and talks over the boy.
"Oh I know. I worry sometimes that he'll have an accident but at least I'll have my eyes on him and a spare pair of trousers for the little pants wetter." He grinned as Pepper laughs a bit.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" He says angrily, Steve snorts and pulls the cover down and effectively ignoring the man. "All right I get it. This was stupid. Just let me out!" He whines and Pepper laughs loudly.
"Ok, Ok we'll let you out...." She pauses a bit. "When we get back to the cabin." She grins at Steve who laughs loudly. Tony grunts angrily and crosses his arms angrily in an annoyed pout.
"Keep pouting and maybe I'll ask Bruce to switch Bucky out with you." She comments. "Or maybe I'll just keep you big and baby you." She laughs and Tony groans more.
"Peppa! Peppa!" Bucky runs over and pulls on the woman's leg, the women looks and him and smiles.
"What is it baby boy?" She asks, and Bucky points to Peter. She pauses for a moment. "I need words Bucky." She states simply and Bucky sighs loudly in annoyance.
"He has Rash." He states in annoyance and Pepper blinks for a moment and nods.
"Ok...ok....." She lifts Bucky up for a moment and checks him, a frown on her face as she see's the start of a rash. "Steve. Change Bucky. I got Peter. Tony baby boy stay there." Tony's swears are heard from the stroller, Peter gave a soft sob as he was changed and goes completely silent afterwards. Bucky copied, his eyes drifting shut. Peter seemed to be in the same boat as they are set in the stroller as well. "Lets get home." He says calmly.
"I hate you both." Tony calls from his seat and Steve just coo's at him.
"Shammmmeeee" Pepper drawls, pausing for a moment as she and Steve move through the woods. "So how come you had an adult sized stroller on hand?" She asks and Steve goes dark red. Tony's evil laugh echo's from within the stroller and Steve tries to hush him.
"Steve and Buck-a-roo play parents to a certain red haired super spy." Tony informs her and Pepper giggles.
"Oh, that's really sweet." She says sweetly, smiling at Steve. "I'd love to come by at some time." Steve gulps.
"We'll talk about it with her ok?" He mumbles, popping the door open. Tony's movements where seen inside the stroller as Steve pops it inside the door. "And if you keep teasing me, Bucky and Natasha. I will continue to baby you Mr.I own a million dollar company." Steve says with a grunt as he lifts the cover to see Tony. The man was a brilliant shade of red and Steve relished in the fact he'd got him blushing so badly.
"....It's a billion dollar company." He mumbles as Steve just chuckles and finally presses his finger to the buckle. Releasing the clip around the man and lifting him up like toddler. "Steve." He growls as Steve balances Tony on his hip with an evil glint in his eyes.
"Think we should diaper my baby boy." He states, Tony squawked in shock and the other two laughed a bit. Tony was set on the floor with a swift spank to his butt. "Like I said. Don't talk back. Now, I'll cook dinner if you and Pepper could put them to bed." Steve winks and walks off. Tony was officially done with the super soldier. Pepper looks around absently and smiles as she spots two small playsets, ones that where covered in toys and could spin the chair around but keep them firmly in place.
"Is that the 'restraints' you got for them?" She asks with a grin and both men nod. "Good. I think we'll use it tomorrow." She says with a stretch.
The night was peaceful after that. But the next day was not.
