Oh Baby

Peter was such a sleepy baby when the next day showed up, Tony almost re-arranged the whole trip to be their lazy day.

Almost.

The moment Pepper said the word beach Peter was sat up and bouncing in the crib with excitement, Tony had taken a few more photo's to make into a folder later on when Peter was bigger but for now, the camera would have to be pried from his hands to stop him.  It took an hour longer then expected to get ready for the beach, simply because everyone started pulling out with excuses.

Natasha, Bucky, Clint and Steve had missions. Sam was busy with work, Bruce had a lecture to give at a university and Vision and Wanda simply refused to go. 

Not that Pepper and Tony where complaining, this was the first time in a while that either had time off and relaxed at a beach.  By the time they got to the beach it was almost dinner time. Peter had immediately toddled off towards the water and Pepper had to run after him to stop him from jumping in with his clothes on. "Nooooo" The boy whined and wiggled as she removed his shirt and shorts before taking his hands and walking into the water.

"Hey Pete. Wanna jump the waves and show Daddy how much fun he's missing being a grump?" Pepper coaxed and Peter nodded. Pepper held his arms above his head as he jumped over a wave, a loud giggle escaping him as he called out. 

"NI NI Join!" Tony glanced up from his spot on the lounge chair and snickered. "Niiiiiiiiiiiii" Peter's voice whined and Tony gave an exaggerated huff before wondering over into the water. He glanced at Pepper for re-assurance and took one of Peter's tiny hands.

"If daddy gets a bit scared we let him sit down ok?" Pepper asks the boy who just nods excitedly. Jumping over another set of waves, Tony found him self laughing a little as Peter giggled and splashed the water around him. A large smile spreading across his face.

"Look at you, making such big splashes. Almost as big as Hulk" Tony teased a little, not expecting the excitement on the boy's face to show so much.

"I hulk I hulk!" Peter said with excitement and grabbed at their hands a bit more as he splashed more. Though he did shriek when seaweed hit his leg and he released Pepper's hand and latched both onto to Tony's in an attempt to get out. Tony grinned and lifted the boy out and grabbed a little bit of seaweed. "No! Ni get 'way!" He shrieks as Tony slides it across his arm.

"I'll get rid of it on one condition." Tony states grinning, Peter looked up with a whine as Tony wipes it around Peter's back. "I'll get rid of it if....." He paused for affect. "I get a kiss on the cheek" He teased and Peter groaned at the compromise.

"Oh that's low Tony!" Pepper said with no heat behind the sentence, a smirk on her lips as she watched the little boy lean up and kiss his dad's cheek with a intense blush. Tony grinned and kissed his head, chucking the seaweed away.

"Thank you. Now...lets wash our hands and eat. I'm starved!" Tony says turning and walking out of the sea quickly, Peter sat on his hip a pout on his face. Tony froze as he spotted someone on the beach. "....Peppppppp" He says with a groan as she just grinned at him and kissed his cheek happily.

"You wouldn't be such a dad if they came with us. They said they were on a mission, not that it was from S.H.I.E.L.D" Pepper grinned waving to the others who held camera's and waved back.

"You are an asshole." Tony mutters and blushed as they reached the beach, Clint grabbed Peter from Tony's arms and held him above his head.

"I have stolen the tiny Stark, I have the power of world. Mission complete!" He laughed and glanced at the glaring toddler. He shot him a cheeky smile before bringing the boy down to his hip and sticking his tongue out at Tony. "Go wash your hands. I don't need seaweed slime on my sandwich thank you" Tony wiped his hand on Clint's face then grabbed a few wet wipes. Getting rid of the water and sand on his hands he chucked the package to Clint so he could sort the food. Peter immediately struggled against him with a whine. 

"Nooooooo" He squeaks and Clint laughs evilly. "Clin' Nooooo!" He tries to get away from the offending object but that just leaves Clint with more room to attack. 

Ten minutes later Peter was clean and Clint had a wipe up his nose.

******************

Steve and Bucky sat on the sand as the team played in the water. Peter was asleep in Bucky's lap whilst Tony and Pepper were off spending some time together. Bucky leaned against Steve with a deep sigh. "What's up?" Steve mumbled, running his hand through Bucky's hair. The other male grunted and pointed to the weight on his lap. At Steve's questioning look he sighed a little more.

"I wanna build sand castles like we used to. With him. But he is being a butt" Bucky huffed and Steve laughed softly.

"Oh no, how horrible. A sleeping toddler and a bored toddler." He teased and Bucky smirked pushing him away.

"Punk" He mutters

"Jerk." Steve shot back, Bucky grinned batting his eyelashes.

"Am I your Jerk?" He asked kissing Steve's shoulder from his spot on the sand. Steve purrs a little.

"I dunno. Maybe if I got a proper kiss I'd be more inclined" Steve shot at him, Bucky didn't need much more of an invite as he laid Peter on the blanket and pounced on Steve. Pinning the mans arms above his head and giving him a strong, passionate kiss. That kiss lasted a few breaths before Bucky's lips trailed down to his neck and nibbled it a bit before latching on. Steve squeaked and panted. "Fuck-shit Bucky" He breathed through his teeth. Bucky grinned and bit on his more sensitive spot just above his collar bone. "Fuck me!" Steve breathed out.

"Gladl-" Bucky went to retort when he felt a glob of something wet and grainy hit his back. Both men froze and turned slowly to see Peter standing behind him, a bucket of what was clearly wet sand in hand as he glared at him.

"No' when I'm 'round" He warned. "Ni get's pro-pre-pr-" The boy stamped his foot and fumed as he tried to get his words out. Bucky grinned in a teasing way.

"Pro what? Proactive? Productive?" He reached over grabbing the boy in his arms, Steve chuckling just encouraged him to tease the boy.

"Pro-te-pro-te-" Peter stomped again in annoyance and Bucky just laughs.

"Pro what?" Bucky lead one more time but seeing the boy struggle and get frustrated he finally stopped. "Protective?" He asks and Peter nods his head. A soft pout formed on his lips.

"would'a known it" He mumbles a little and Bucky just grins, Steve reaches round Bucky and pulls the boys shorts and diaper back in an obvious check.

"Some one" He said knowingly, a pat landing on Peter's butt, and Peter felt his face blush red. "Is in need of a change." Steve finished, Bucky grinned. 

"Good, I've only got to change this little monster once. He gets so red Stevie, should see it." Bucky laid the boy down and took the trunks off and started on the diaper. Peter gave a loud squeak and wiggled under the soldiers hand.

"I'll get the stuff." Steve says walking to Tony and Pepper's blanket and returned shortly after holding a normal diaper and supplies. Peter gave a loud whine trying to move away. "Tony says he wants you to stay out of the water for now because it's getting cold" Steve says casually as he watches the toddler squirm, a smirk on his face when he saw how red he is. "Oh baby boy it's ok" Steve teased, snapping a picture just before Bucky started the change. Peter was not happy.

It took 20 minutes to change him and then Peter spent the whole time squirming and whining. Afterwards he spent the whole time pouting and groaning angrily any time either of the soldiers tried to talk or play with him. In the end Bucky brought Peter's love with ice cream. After that the area surrounding the soldiers and Peter was covered in sandcastles and little Peter was quietly burying Steve in sand with Bucky. Steve rolled his eyes as Bucky poked his cheek. "So like...now that your buried does that mean I get your art supplies? Cause like...I could get some serious money for that" He teased and Steve laughs loudly.

"Ha, no. You can get have my boxer's though, makes up for those bloomers of yours" Steve teased and Bucky's face flushed lightly. "Shut up" He puts the towel over his head and laughs. Peter watches with a smile as Steve shakes it off and sticks his tongue out.

"Guys come on, it's time to head home" Pepper calls, Steve tries to sit up but Bucky keeps him down.

"Bucky, have S.E.X at home. When little ones eyes are closed and ears are off" She says walking over and picking the toddler up. Peter nuzzled into her as he yawned.

"Mama....." He mumbles as she walks to the car. No one else in sight as they packed up the beach.

"Yeah, Mama's here. Daddy's just grabbing your bags." She mummers, rocking back and forth with the toddler. "Get some sleep baby, mama and daddy will be here when you wake up" She coo'd gently.

"Dada...?" He mumbles, his eyes where to heavy to keep open as he slipped into sleep. He missed the shocked look Pepper had at his word choice before it shifted into a caring smile.

"Yeah baby, Dada" She coo'd. The drive home wasn't as long and soon the team had left to their respective rooms, Pepper and Tony sharing a kiss as the boy was put to bed. Pepper mumbles into his ear. "Lets go have some fun Mr.Stark" She mutters and that's all the invitation he needed before the two were in his room.

A long night left the two exhausted for the next day.
