Love Child
Steve was in a meeting with Fury when he received a message from Tony.
Steve when you get home can I talk to u about something
Sure honey, be home soon.
Steve cringed. What did he do? Tony and he were coming up on their three year anniversary did Tony get tired of him? Steve processed this all the way through the meeting, so much so that he didn't hear anything that Fury was saying.
When Steve returned back to the tower he was greeted with Tony running into his arms.
"Hey babe what is it? Is everything ok?" Steve said.
Tony looked away, "We've been married for three years now and together for five, and I think it's maybe time for the next step."
Steve smiled was Tony suggested what he think he was?
"What do you mean by 'next step'?" Steve questioned.
Tony smiled unsurely. "What do you think about maybe adopting a kid?"
Steve grinned as he kissed Tony "I think that's an amazing idea"
——————————-
"What about that one?" Tony said as he pointed to a corner where a teenage boy was reading what looked to be a physics book.
They wondered over to the boy.
"I'm Steve and this is my partner Tony," Steve said as he held out his hand for the boy to shake.
The boy reached out shyly.
"I'm Peter," Peter said hesitantly.
"Tell us a bit about yourself, Peter," Tony said urging for the boy to start a conversation.
"I-umm- like physics? And technology." Peter said then smiled. "I also love science, it's really my passion."
Tony looked at Steve and they instantly knew that Peter was the one.

After hours of exhausting paperwork Steve and Tong we're finally able to bring Peter home for their trial period as his parents.
"So Peter, while Tony was filling out your paperwork I got your room set up would you like to see it?" Steve questioned.
"I have a room?"
"Of course! Come on let's go!" Steve motioned to the elevator while smiling at Tony thinking about how lucky they were to have Peter.
Peter was in awe his room was so...him. It was a light blue color with a king size bed, white shelves, a full closet, and a large desk with a laptop and a microscope.
"Th-thank you," Peter said. As he hugged Tony and Steve
He actually had a family.
—————————
"This is the only other room on our floor. Down the hall to the right that's my and Tony's room, Natasha is on the 18th floor, Clint on the 19th, Wanda, and Vision on the 20th and Bruce basically lives on the lab. Oh, and Thor goes between Asgard and here so he doesn't have a room." Steve explained.
Peter nodded still dumbfounded by the fact that he was living with the fucking Avengers. A week ago, he was sharing a room with his friend Wade and being bosses around my a caretaker who didn't give a shit about him. Now he's sharing a tower with earth mightiest heroes, has an AI butler named Jarvis, and now actually has parents.
"So Peter any questions?" Tony said as he started to make a cup of coffee.
"I can still go to my old school, right? Midtown high?" Peter questioned.
"Anything you want Peter, but..." Steve hesitated while looking at Tony.
"But what?" Peter asked.
"As you know Tony and I haven't exactly- come out yet to the public. And if you would like... Tony and I are going to hold a press conference to announce our marriage and having you as our new son." Steve said nodding at Tony.
"Also, we want you to have the most normal childhood that you can have until you become mini-me," Tony added.
Peter smiled. "I think that that's a good idea."
"Tony has a point, I don't think I would be able to handle two of him," Steve said playfully.
"Oh, you know you love me," Tony said.
"Yes, yes I do," Steve said as he kissed Tony.
Peter smiled, it felt like the first time in several years that he felt like he had a home or a family. A family.
