Tony woke up from one of the best sleeps he's had in what seem like forever. He was a bit disoriented and for a moment forgot where he was. He looked at his hands connected to all these IV bags. That's right he'd been admitted after being in a heated argument with cap, justifiably so. He looked around at his surroundings, it was nighttime, he'd slept the day away. To his left was Pepper sleeping on a chair next to his bedside. She looked exhausted and worn out and that was saying something since he looked like the life had been sucked out of him. They've both seen better days, that was forsure.
As if on cue, she began to stir, it was as if she had felt him wake up. She opened her eyes and turned to look at him, a small smile on her face, "Hey honey, how are you feeling?" caressing his cheek. So much love and relief in her eyes. "Hey Pep, never better now you're here, I swear I was so close to losing my cool back there." he said anger noticable in his voice. "And before you say anything" he started, " I was in all my right, Cap hasn't been around in years and he shows up and what expects me to welcome him back with a big hurrah? I think not, he's a liar and untrustworthy, he proved that to me." heart monitor started beeping like crazy. Pepper quickly shot up her seat and put a hand on his chest in attempt to calm him. "Tony, baby, you need to calm down ok. I understand where you're coming from but please try not to get too worked up atleast until you're better. I can't handle another scare or I'm going to be the one losing my cool." she said with tear brimmed eyes.
Tony looked at her and quickly pulled her as close as he could, caressing her hair and back," I'm sorry honey, it's ok...please don't cry I don't like it when you cry, I'm calm seriously look at the monitor, I'm good" he told her his heart clenching again at the thought of almost losing her. " Oh i missed you so much, I know I said it last night but I don't care, I couldn't bare the thought of something happening to you" he said tears threatning to come out. He kissed the side of her head and held her with all the strength he could muster not really caring that he was squeezing her. "You're one to talk," Pepper leaned back to look at him," I specifically remember telling you to come back but like always you dis…" Pep stops mid rant and shoots up her seat and runs to the bathroom in the room.
Tony sits up in his bed confused at what just happened. He hears her throwing up and now concern lacing his face he calls out, "Pep, you ok?...Peppper?" no answer but he hears the toilet flush now and sees her come out. She makes her way back to Tony with rubbing her stomach with one hand and the other over her mouth. "Umm what the hell was that? Are you sick or something because you know in my current condition, being all weak and all that, I can't have you around me if you have the sniffles Pep, gotta wear a mask Potts." he teases. Pepper doesn't look his way and keeps her eyes down, "Or something" she pauses. Tony eyes her seeing her distress, all teasing gone he asks, "What's wrong Pep, you look like you're about to puke again." he finishes waiting for her answer. "Ok so… oh god ok.. You remeber the walk we had at the park before, you know, this disaster happened?" she asks him. "Yeah I remember why?"
"Ok well remember the conversation we were having about the… about the-"
"About the dream I had." Tony finishes for her. "Yeah definitely remember that why? Why are you bring…" He stops mid sentence realization dawning on his face. Pepper stares at him with an expression that looks somewhere in between a smile and an I want to cry face. She can't help it and tears start falling out."I found out two weeks ago" she states. Tony so shocked just replies,"Are you telling me.. Are you sure?" so much emotion behind his voice. "Yes, I got the test done, multiple tests to be sure." pepper chuckles a bit.
"Tony I'm pregnant" she says the 3 words he's been longing to hear. She waits for him to say something but instead tears just start pouring out of him.
