A/N Thank you so much for choosing to read this story it is my first story like this, so bear with me. This is obviously a Male on Male story, with Superhusbands and Mpreg so if you don't like that don't read it. I don't tolerate flaming so don't bother writing it. Now before I talk your ear off here is the story!

The Missing Piece

I woke up slowly, my eyes adjusting to the light that flooded through the window. I let out a sigh, and snuggled back into Tony, relishing in the warmth he provided. "Good morning." He murmured, his hands tracing patterns on my stomach, pulling me closer.

"Good morning to you." I replied, turning to face him.

I kissed him, and it quickly turned passionate. We didn't get far though, because not two minutes later, Clint's obnoxious voice came through the intercom. "Let's go lovebird's breakfast is ready! Move it or lose it."

"Well we wouldn't want to make Mr. Pissy pants any more frazzled now would we?" Tony stated, with a frown.

"Tony that's awful and you know it." I replied, grabbing my pants, and pulling them on.

"But it's true Steve, and you know it." He whined.

I grabbed his pants and threw them at him, "Come on Tony, we're hungry."

"Oh are you? Well I suppose I'll get up then." He teased, getting dressed.

Five minutes later we walked hand in hand into the kitchen and sat down. "Finally, you made it, I made one of my favorite breakfasts for everyone it's called Century Eggs, from China." He explained as he set it down in front of us.

I gagged the moment the smell hit my nose, and vaulted for the sink before losing whatever was in my stomach. "Damn it Clint! You son of a bitch, why did you do that!" Tony yelled, as he came over, and started rubbing my back.

"I didn't know that would happen, really."

"Bullshit! How could you not know he's been pregnant for 8 months dickhead try again, and get rid of that shit now." He commanded as my stomach convulsed again.

I sagged into the chair that Bruce brought over. "Better?" he asked kneeling in front of me. I nodded not trusting myself to speak yet. I ran my hand over my stomach in soothing circles, trying to get over the latest event of this pregnancy really hates me, and I am starting to hate Clint.

Before we had a chance to say anything the alarm for us to assemble sounded throughout the mansion. Bruce looked me in the eye, "Bed rest till we get back if you have any other problems tell JARVIS and he will help you. Got it?" He explained.

I nodded, as he stood and headed to the transporter. "Steve, I don't know if this is a good idea." Tony confessed taking over Bruce's vacated spot.

"I'll be okay babe, you need to go, and they can't afford to lose you too. Just promise that you'll come back in one piece ok."

"I'll go, but I'm not happy about it. Have JARVIS call me if you need me."

"I will, I promise, now go, and be careful." I replied with a kiss. I watched him run out the door and into the transporter.

I sighed, feeling a little bummed that I wasn't with my team, and even though I knew there was no way I could be. I stood slowly and made my way back to our room, and turned on the television. I started watching I Love Lucy, hoping that Tony and the rest of the team would be back soon.

….

I was about two hours into my marathon, when it started. This dull and occasionally piercing pain began to shoot from my lower back to my groin. I decided to lie down on the bed instead of sitting to try and make it go away, but it didn't it only got steadily worse.

"JARVIS, what is the status of the mission?" I asked, my teeth gritting as the pain flashed again. This cannot possibly be happening right now. I shouted internally.

"Unknown sir, at present they are still trying to defeat the last of the drones. Are you in need of assistance?"

I wanted to say no and was about to, but as I stood up, the pain shot right through my body causing it to buckle. A cry escaped my lips as I gave JARVIS my answer. "Help is on the way sir, would you like me to call Mr. Stark?"

"Yes, ETA on the medical team?" I replied, gruffly, as I pushed myself back up onto the bed.

"Twenty minutes sir and your call is in route to the suit."

"Thank you." I muttered.

It felt like it had been forever before Tony's voice pierced the silence of the room. "Babe what's wrong?" he asked, his concern coming through, even as he tried to hide it.

"Tony, its happening, the baby is coming." I whimpered, as another wave of pain hit me, I brought my knees as close to my chest as possible, trying to focus on his voice.

"JARVIS, get me a video feed now." Tony commanded. "I'm coming back, you need me."

"No the team is already short; if you leave someone could really get hurt. You have to stay Tony."

"Don't you want me there?" he asked his voice cracking.

"You know I do….Ahhh….but we both know that's not in the cards right now. Just kick some droid ass so you can get back…Ahh…JARVIS ETA of the medical team?"

"They just entered the building sir they are on the way."

I let out a sigh of relief, as Tony's face lit up the wall screen. But it was short lived, as the pain ripped through me again, worse than it had been before. I couldn't stop the tears from escaping. "God Tony….This sucks….be sure to tell Banner that I'm going to kill him for lying to me about how much this would suck…because this really sucks…Ahhh son of a bitch."

"You know normally I would laugh at your use of foul language, but all I want to do know is be there to help you."

"I know…AHHH!"

"Sir, the droid army is flanking the team what do you wish to do?" JARVIS asked as the medical team rushed in.

"Go Tony; kick some ass so you can get home….I love you."

"I love you too babe I'll be back as soon as I can."

The screen faded back to blue as the medical team started to move me to Bruce's lab/doctor's office. More tears escaped as I fought the pain, trying like hell not to let it show.

When we arrived, the nurse hooked me up to the monitors, and set up the anesthesia, and my world started to grow fuzzy. I heard the doctor talking but I couldn't make out what he was saying, and that was the last thing that I remembered before everything went black.

….

I flew back into the tower, and rushed to get my suit off, before running as fast as I could down to the room that I shared with Steve. I caught my breath before I opened the door, only to lose it all over again at the sight that awaited me. Steve sat propped up by the pillows, cradling and cooing at the bundle in his arms…a bundle that was wearing a blue hat...a son!

I slowly walked over to them, my heart beating out of my chest. Steve looked up and smiled at me, as I sank onto the bed next to him. "Would you like to hold our son Tony?" He asked slowly passing him over to me.

I looked down as he settled into my arms, and felt my heart burst. He was perfect, he had brownish black hair but it was pin straight like Steve's and he had blue eyes that were darker in the middle, I had no doubt that they would end up being hazel. "What should we name him?" I asked looking back up at Steve, a rouge tear rolling down my cheek.

"I was thinking about James Anthony…What do you think?"

"I think it's the perfect name, for a perfect little boy." I whispered, looking back up at Steve. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't be here to help you."

"I know baby…but you're here now and that's all that matters." He replied, linking our hands together.

Before I could kiss him, Bruce walked in with a tablet. " I just ran that test you had both asked for and I can tell you for certain that he will have both of your strengths…Tony's genius his estimated IQ is going to be about 140, and he will have your strength Steve with a 75% chance of advanced healing. I'd say that he is going to be a very special young man."

I watched as Steve's face fell, and I knew why, I felt it too. We both knew what it was like to be harassed and bullied for being who we are. Then to have all of those things combined, well, let's just say that I wasn't going to be looking forward to when he started school.

"Thank you Bruce, for everything. Do you want to hold him?"

"I don't know if that's a good idea Tony."

"Bruce we insist, please…come and meet James." Steve replied.

Bruce's eyes lit up as I passed him over to him, "He wouldn't happen to me named after your friend from the war would he…I remember hearing that name when I was looking into Winter Solider."

"He is, I knew him as Bucky, but I think James is better suited for our son." He replied, his eyes starting to glaze over. I squeezed his hand and saw him come back to the present, sending a heart stopping smile my way.

….

It was about an hour later when we were alone again in our room, with James sleeping in the bassinette by the bed. I ran my finger over the faint scar that was left on Steve's stomach, knowing it would be gone by the time we woke up in the morning. "Thank you Steve." I whispered, looking up into his eyes.

"For what?" He asked, confusion clouding his face.

"For giving me something that I thought I would never have…a family. There was always this nagging spot in my heart that no matter how hard I fought it, it would never go away. I wanted a family, and I thought that I had it when I found you, until today, when I realized that I need both of you. You two are the missing piece."

Steve's eyes welled, up and he fought for composure before he replied. "I could say the same Tony without you there would be no James and I'd still be this solider out of time, and place. Lost, I found myself because of you, and I never thought that I would have anything like a family after Bucky died. He was the only family I ever had, until I met you…and now you've given me the chance to be a dad. So I should be thanking you too Tony, and I will until the day that my heart stops beating."

I brushed the tears off of his cheeks, as he brushed my own rouge tears away. I brushed my lips across his. "I love you, Steve." I murmured.

"I love you too Tony." He replied softly as he kissed me again.

That was the day that changed both of our lives forever.
