our little family
Tony and pepper were both positively beaming at peter. Pepper had happy tears running down her face. She had been one of those girls who dreame of a happy family,a husband,kids, always being surrounded by laughter and though she got tony,the avengers and the others as friends and families she had long since given up the thought of kids
And now even if she had a slight chance at being the family she always wished for, with Tony and peter she would take it, if only temporarily, as it was more than likely he would go right back to his aunt when he as soon he was back to his original age.
She was bought out of her musings by Sharon who was staring out of the window and saying, " well it looks like we are stuck here" that was when she noticed that though the lightening had stopped it was still raining.
When she looked at tony he was looking down at her and peter, who was still in her arms with a expression she had never seen him wearing before : calmness
Pepper and tony were both staring at each other when Clint shouted, " I know what to do, movie night"
Everyone agreed to that and settled down. Pepper,tony and peter took the love seat and peter then crawled to tony who took him and sat him on his lap.
Clint and family took the second love seat. Rhodes and Sam sat on the floor while all the couples took the couches
"So who is going to pick the movie" Rhodes asked and as it turned out last time the guys had picked out a movie so the girls got a chance. They picked out the tourist. The guys grumbled a little but at the end conceded.
Half way through the movie though peter fell asleep, curled on tony's chest and tony also fell asleep with a small smile on with an arm around peter and the other around pepper.
Pepper watched both of them with a smile and saw Clint take a picture of them, she made a mental note to ask Clint to send it to her later.
She knew she had to wake tony though because if he slept like than on couch, in the morning his neck will kill him, so when the movie was finished she very slowly got up and kissed him on his forehead saying, "tony, wake up. Let's go to bed"
Tony jolted awake and then realized he still had peter,he smiled fondly at the bumdle in his arms looking absolutely adorable with his thumb in his mouth. They agreed that peter would sleep with them until they got a crib for him
They made their way to her and tony's floor, she took peter from tony and gently laid him down. Peter whined a little at not being held anymore bit remained asleep. Apparently the day's events took a toll on him too.
Pepper and tony went through their nightime routine and then came to bed. They both kissed each other good night and after awhile pepper found herself gazing fondly at peter not quite believing that the cute little boy between them thought of him as his mother.
As if to prove himself, peter unconsciously turned towards her and curled besides her.
She was pretty sure tony was staring at them but she didn't take her eyes of the little boy. Her little boy
