I'm sitting across from Tony in his lab while he works on who knows what. Technology isn't really my thing. I move around in my chair trying to get comfortable. I am 2 days past my due date and am so over being pregnant. I shift in my seat again. I can see Tony glance over at me out of the corner of his eye. I can tell he is as anxious about his impending fatherhood as I am.

"Tony, I'm bored." I say sighing.

He keeps his eyes on the project in front of him. "I know. You told me that already."

I sigh again. I have been following him around all day just whining about anything and everything. I know he is getting annoyed with me but I really don't care. When Tony is anxious he works on things and that is all he has been doing lately.

"Tony…" I whine again.

He looks up at me. "What?"

"I don't know."

He sets down his equipment in his hands and leans forward. "Hayley I love you but I am trying to work."

I scoff. "Well gee, sorry." I say elongating each word.

A few minutes go by in silence. I lean forward. "You did this to me you know."

He doesn't even bother to look up at me or stop what he is doing. "It takes 2 to tango sweetheart."

I sigh and lean back in my chair. I look down at the Iron Man t shirt I am wearing. This morning when I put it on I thought it was funny but now it just annoys me. I start to pull the shirt off and Tony looks up at me.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

I pull the shirt off my head and throw it at him. "I don't want to wear that shirt anymore."

When I throw the shirt it lands on the table and knocks a few things off. I sit there in my yoga pants and a tank top that is struggling to fit me, glaring at Tony. He puts down what he is working on. He stands up and walks towards the door. He stops and holds the door open.

"Come on prego lets go."

I slide off the chair I am sitting in. My bare feet touch the cold stone floor. I have always loved being barefoot and I find it strange that Tony is never barefoot. Not even in his own home. I waddle my way over to where Tony is. I wish there was another word to say instead of waddle because it sounds like a duck but that is really the only way I am able to walk now. My whole body hurts and I just want to have this baby now. Tony lets me go through the door first then follows behind me. I take the stairs slowly. This giant baby bump gets in the way of everything. Tony makes an impatient noise behind me.

"Shut up." I say smacking behind me hoping to make contact with him.

He simply dodges my hand and laughs. "If you don't hurry up we are going to become parents on these stairs."

I move to the side and put my back against the wall. "If you are so impatient then why don't you go around me and I will meet you up there." I practically yell at him.

He smiles at me and motions to the very narrow gap between my belly and the wall. "I don't think I will fit."

I turn back around and continue up the stairs. "Well then you will just have to deal with it."

When we get up the stairs Tony slaps my ass as he comes around me.

"Hey!" I say.

He shrugs his shoulders and gives that Stark smile. "What? It was in my face the whole time. I couldn't resist."

He laces his fingers in mine and kisses me softly on the lips. We walk to the couch and he helps me sit down. I prop some pillows behind my back and try to get comfortable. Not that it is possible when I feel like a hot air balloon. I watch Tony leave the room but he doesn't say anything to me so I'm assuming he will be right back, Not even a minute goes by before he is back. In his hand is a jar of Nutella with a spoon sticking out of it. Tony hands me the jar and sits down on the couch pulling my legs across his.

"I love you." I say putting a spoonful of Nutella in my mouth.

He smiles and winks at me. "I know."

I relax as Tony begins to rub my feet. Normally I hate having my feet touched but today this feels so good that I do not protest. He runs his hand up massaging my calves. I make a slight moan/ sigh of delight. He raises and eyebrow and smirks at me.

I smile and put my hand on my belly. "Well that is how this happened."

He laughs and continues to massage my feet and legs. I put the jar down before I end up eating the whole thing.

"Tony."

"Hmm?" he says looking up at me.

"Will you hold me?"

He smiles. "Sure." He says patting the spot next to him.

I smile back. "Oh okay. Make the pregnant one move." I say scooting over next to him.

I lean back against his chest and he wraps his arms around me. I never get tired of feeling Tony's arms wrapped around me. I feel safe and loved. He puts his hands on my belly and rubs them around. I smile looking at it. Any day now we are going to have our baby boy. A mini Tony Stark, lord help us all. I can feel Tony's chin on the top of my head and I smile. Nobody would know it from the outside but snarky and full of himself Tony Stark is deep down one of the most loving people I have ever met. Even the other Avengers who live in Stark tower with us have only glimpsed some of his loving personality. I feel myself start to drift off to sleep with the sound of the arc reactor humming in my ear. Before I even realize it I am sound asleep.
