Tony Stark was in his basement workshop welding on a new project when his fuel line was turned off and the lights were kicked on. Tony tugs of his welding mask and tosses it on the table.
"Dummy! Get off the fuel line!" Dummy, who was sitting in front of Tony, was quite obviously not on the fuel line. The robot tilts his head and looks down in sadness for getting reprimanded again.
"Actually Mr. Stark, I was the one who turned off the fuel source. " Jarvis admits as he speaks up from the ceilings.
"I believe that Mrs. Stark requires your attendance upstairs in the master bathroom." Tony grins before tugging off his gloves and tossing them down next to the helmet before leaving the workshop and heading upstairs to the main level of the house. He stops off and washes his hands in a guest bathroom before heading to the master bedroom and walking through to the bathroom, finding Pepper sitting on the edge of the bathtub, worrying her hands together, looking down, and sniffling. It was a day off for her so she was dressed in yoga pants and Tony's MIT t-shirt, her bare toes curling into the marble floor over and over.
"Pep?" Tony asks softly, worried something was wrong with his wife of just a few months. Pepper jumps and her head snaps up, her red eyes instantly welling when she sees Tony in the doorway.
"What are you…I thought you were working on some new specs for the suit…" Tony nods, sitting on the tub next to Pepper before wrapping an arm around her. He kisses her head softly and squeezes her.
"I was, Jarvis said that you needed me though." Pepper nods herself before letting out a whining sound and burying her face into Tony's shoulders, bursting into tears. Tony's eyes widen as he holds her even closer, stroking her back and hair softly.
"Shhh…it's okay…I'm here…you're okay." Pepper cries for a while before her crying subsides to sniffling. Tony pulls her hair back from her face and strokes her tears away from her skin.
"What's wrong my little Pepperpot?" Pepper smiles slightly when he uses her nickname. She shakes her head and sits up a little bit reaching behind her to retrieve the small item that had fallen into the tub before Tony had come in. She hands it to him and takes a deep shuddering breath.
"I'm pregnant." Tony's eyes widen as he looks at the pregnancy test in his hands.
"You're sure?" Pepper nods and smiles weakly.
"I had Jarvis confirm it…he did some scan thing…said that I'm about ten weeks…" Tony smiles at Pepper and squeezes her tight, kissing her sound.
"That's great!"
"It is?" Pepper looks up at Tony with surprise, she'd spent the last twenty minutes worrying about whether or not he had his lawyer on speed dial and how soon she'd have to leave the house on the bluffs that she'd been calling her own for the last year.
"Yeah! I mean…I know we haven't talked about having kids at all but…I want to…you know?"
"You actually want to have kids? I thought you hated kids."
"I'm not in love with them…but a wise computer once told me that it changes when they're your own kids." Pepper rolls her eyes softly as he spouts the wisdom from Jarvis.
"So this is a good thing?" Tony nods and smiles.
"Of course it is." Pepper smiles even wider and wraps her arms around Tony, holding on tight.
"Thank god." The redhead takes in a deep breath of her husband's scent, relaxing instantaneously.
"You okay?" Pepper nods silently and Tony picks her small frame up carrying her to bed. He lays her down and gets in next to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Pepper rolls over and smiles at Tony kissing him softly, resting her forehead against his.
"I love you Mr. Stark."
"I love you too Mrs. Stark." Tony smiles and squeezes Pepper softly.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Pepper shakes her head and smiles softly before closing her eyes.
"You're doing it."
"Okay."
