Okay, here's the sequel. I like to write whatever you guys want so a few people reviewed and PM'd me to write with Logan and Tony having a family, so I'm going to try and do my best with that, hope you guys enjoy it. Also, I'm making the time difference from IM and IM2 a bit longer, because in the movies it's about six months but in the story it's about a year or more. Please review and let me know what you think!
''You cannot be serious!'' Logan's eyes widened when Tony told her his plans to fly into the Stark Expo which began in a few days.
Ever since Iron Man became a public figure, the media couldn't get enough of him, and neither could the Iron Man fans. There were people everywhere wanting autographs and photos with him, not that it was uncommon since he was Tony Stark, but the numbers had gone up since it was revealed that he was Iron Man. The Stark Expo revival was all Tony's idea, and to make sure the opening night was a success, he was going to use Iron Man to make his entrance.
''When am I ever not serious?'' Tony smirked, walking backwards into the living room as he watched her shocked expression.
''Even for you, I think flying in through the roof is a little dramatic, don't you?'' she put her hands on her hips, following him into the living room where he fell back onto the couch and watched her with a grin on his face.
Tony had always found Logan to be extremely attractive with her long dark brown hair flowing over her shoulders, her creamy skin and her entire personality, but what he loved the most about her over the past few months was the perfectly rounded bump underneath her shirt.
They'd been married for over a year now and the idea of children had never been discussed, but when the unexpected happened, they embraced it. Logan didn't have a perfect childhood and Tony never thought he would ever have a family, between the two of them, their child was going to be loved more than anyone in the world. Before Logan, Tony was sure he was going to end up alone for the rest of his life and the idea of having a family was never a possibility, but she changed all of that with a few simple words.
''How about we talk about it later?'' he asked, sitting up to grab her hands, pulling her down until she was straddling him.
''Oh no, no, no, you're not distracting me that easily.'' she shook her head, her hands resting on his shoulders. ''We are talking about this.''
''Okay then,'' he nodded, a smirk on his lips. ''I'm listening.''
Logan tried her best to ignore the kisses he was placing all over her neck as his hands ran along her back, desperately trying to continue lecturing him on his absurd idea all the while knowing it was pointless. It wasn't a big deal, but just once Logan would like to win an argument without Tony distracting her in a way he knew would take her mind off the subject.
''Can we just pretend I won this one?''
Officially, she was Logan Stark, but professionally, she was still Logan Walker, the photographer. Since the media's interest in her life had become crazy every since she married Tony, working at the office was becoming more and more difficult, but she was managing. Everyone in the office always stared at her each time she arrived every day or walked around, wondering if the rumors in other magazines and papers were true, whatever they were and it had become even worse when she began showing. Drew and Logan had their own office together just like they had for over a year now, and they were the most successful duo in the office. They covered almost everything, but now that Logan was pregnant, most of her work was done from the office or doing professional photo shoots for the magazine. Photography was a passion of hers, and she didn't want to give up her job just yet.
''Here,'' Drew sat down a coffee in front of Logan. ''Decaf.''
''Thanks,'' she smiled, looking up from her work.
''So Collins is running three stories on the Stark Expo today.''
''Boring.''
''For you maybe. For people like me, it's exciting.'' he chuckled. ''And you totally owe me a backstage look remember?''
''Oh yeah, that's really convenient. Tony Stark's wife's magazine gets the best story, what a surprise.'' she looked over to him. ''They already think you got all those awards last year for the Afghanistan coverage because of me.''
''Please Logan,'' he pouted, scooting his chair over beside her. ''I won't even write a really good story, I'll save it for when we have a slow week, I promise.''
Logan narrowed her eyes at him before pushing him away from her.
''Fine, but you're going to write a crappy story and let some other reporter get some credit for Stark Industries press.''
''Fine,'' Drew frowned, moving back over to his desk.
Working with Drew was the only thing Logan was comfortable with at the office anymore, she was one of his closest friends, and they'd never be able to do the job without one another.
''Tony, where are you?'' Logan spoke into her phone, sitting the back of car as Happy drove. ''I'm going to the Expo now, please call me back and tell me you're not planning to do what we...discussed the other night.''
The Stark Expo opening was tonight, and Logan hadn't heard from Tony since she left that morning. She knew he was with Pepper somewhere getting things ready, but she couldn't help feeling nervous about what was going on. This was the biggest event that Stark Industries would be hosting, and knowing Tony Stark, he was going to be late.
There were people everywhere and it reminded Logan of the days she used to photograph music festivals and rallies. Reporters flooded the entrance of the Expo, trying desperately to catch a glimpse of Tony Stark as he prepared for the Expo. Happy drove around the back of the building, but the reporters were everywhere and there was no escaping them.
''Mrs. Stark!'' They yelled as Happy opened her door, clearing the way for her and making sure no one got too close.
Logan stepped out of the car and put her hand on her stomach protectively, cradling her bump as she walked closely with Happy. Cameras flashed in her face and reporters screamed over the top of one another questions for Logan which she effectively ignored, making her way inside the doors where it became much quieter. Once she relaxed a bit more, she looked up and noticed Pepper standing over by the side of a door, looking through her BlackBerry.
''Pepper?'' Logan walked over to her. ''I thought you were with Tony.''
''I was, but he said he had this thing planned and I had no idea what it was and I had no time.'' she told her in a rushed voice. ''He should be here soon. He better be anyway.''
Logan shook her head with a small grin on her lips. As much as she should be mad considering he had completely disregarded her protests to how extravagant his entrance would be, she couldn't help smile at his desire to fly in as Iron Man. She remembered telling him once that she wished everyone could see what he was doing for them instead of having to pretend it wasn't him, and now he was being appreciated for Iron Man, just like she had hoped for. He was saving the world day after day, no matter how little the things he was doing were, he was changing things for the better and she was proud of him.
It wasn't long before AC/DC began blaring through the hall and dancers were on stage awaiting the arrival of Tony Stark himself. Logan was standing with Pepper just off the stage, a clear view of Tony when he came bolting through the open roof and slammed down into the concrete dock he had set up, the crowd erupting in applause and screams. The suit disassembled around him and fell into it's compact within the dock, leaving Tony dressed in a handsome suit and addressing the roaring crowd as Shoot To Thrill rang through the hall and dancers dressed in red and gold skimpy outfits made their way off stage.
''Please, please, it's not about me,'' he shook his head as everyone screamed out his name and applauded.
Logan rolled her eyes at his dramatic entrance and now his big speech that he was about to ramble on with. He always did this. He gave the crowd what they wanted. They wanted to hear him boast and see him revel in the admiration he received, and that's exactly what he did.
''I'm not saying I'm responsible for this country's longest run of uninterrupted peace in 35 years.'' he shook his head again, smiling as the crowd continued screaming. ''I'm not saying that from the ashes of captivity, never has a Phoenix metaphor been more personified. I'm not saying Uncle Sam can kick back on a lawn chair, sipping on an iced tea, because I haven't come across anyone man enough to go toe to toe with me on my best day!''
With every word Tony said, the crowd would erupt into cheers and screams. They loved him, and they loved Iron Man.
''It's not about me. It's not about you, either. It's about legacy, the legacy left behind for future generations.'' Tony turned his head and looked over to the side of the stage, immediately grinning when he spotted Logan. ''Which reminds me...''
Logan shook her head violently, shaking her hands and telling him to go away, but he only chuckled at her response.
''Ladies and gentleman, my wife Logan Stark!'' he called out, making the entire room of people cheer for her to come out onto the stage with him.
Logan swore Tony enjoyed embarrassing her, he had a huge grin on his face the entire time she was walking toward him on the stage. She was glad that liked what she was wearing considering thousands of eyes were now on her in her black dress that stopped just above her knees, her bump extremely noticeable with the tight material clinging to her stomach.
Tony closed the three steps of distance between them until his arms were around her waist, lifting her up and kissing her passionately in front of everyone in the room. Logan gasped in surprise before smiling into the kiss, eventually breaking away with a giggle as the crowd cheered and whistled. Logan looked down at Tony admirably and kissed him once more before he put her down on her feet again, his hands sliding over her stomach as he smiled at her, proud of where they were together.
After the opening of the Expo, there was an after party held in the same place, which meant leaving was just as crowded as before. Tony held onto Logan's hand as he led their way through the crowds of people, occasionally stopping to sign Iron Man masks or pictures for little kids, making Logan grin as how cute they were and how gentle Tony was toward them.
''Can I get a photo of you two?'' One of the more polite photographers asked.
Tony wrapped his arm around Logan and put his hand carefully on her stomach as they smiled together for the photographer. If they were going to have their photo taken whether they agreed to or not, it was going to be a good one.
Once they made their way outside, there was a woman standing by Tony's sports car he had left parked, and Happy walked with them to see what was going on.
''Tony Stark,'' the woman smiled, walking over to them. ''You're hereby ordered to appear before the Armed Services Committee tomorrow morning.''
Logan sighed and shook her head with disbelief as the woman flashed her badge to prove she was actually a U.S Marshal. For months now, the government had been wanting to get a hold of the Iron Man suit. With Tony owning it, they had no idea what it's potential was and they argued that it should be handed over to the government as they saw it was property of the United States of America. However, there was no way in hell Tony was handing over the suit to the government. He built it and he protected lives in it, they weren't getting their hands on it.
''Washington?'' Logan looked at the letter. ''By tomorrow morning?''
Tony nodded his head and scrunched the note up, throwing it off to the side as he put his ars around Logan's waist and walked her over to Happy's car. Logan could tell he was annoyed that they were making him go on such short notice, but then again, there was no way he was passing up an opportunity to argue with them again.
''Are you going?'' she asked when they reached the car.
''Yeah, but they can wait,'' he smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. ''We're going home.''
''Tony, you have to be there by morning-''
''I'll be there. Right now though, I want to go home and lay in bed with my wife.''
Logan smiled, leaning into his chest. She always enjoyed him calling her his wife, and she knew she would never tire of hearing him say it. As she stood there in his embrace, Logan could feel his hands on her stomach, and she closed her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder. There would always be so much going on in their lives, but everything went away when they were together like this, just holding each other. However, there was something that wouldn't go away no matter what, and Tony didn't have the heart to tell her, not now, but he knew he didn't have long.
