Deleted scene: hormones galore! (Month 1)
Two weeks later:
Pepper had a hand on her stomach as she did her homework in the armory. Tony walked in and saw her, his heart melted and he smiled. "Hey Pep…" he said walking up to her. Pepper looked up and smiled "hey Tony." She said putting her homework away. She stood up with her backpack, her eyes grew watery and the bag fell to the floor with a thud. Tony's eyes widened Oh no mood swing! He thought, "What's wrong Pep?" he asked gently. "I-I'm just scared…what if…I'm a bad mother…? How am I going to get through school?" she asked tears rolling down her cheeks. Tony pulled Pepper into a hug and held her close. "We can do it together. School won't be a problem, and you will be a great mother." He said running his hand through her hair. Pepper hugged him back and buried her face in Tony's chest, "thank you Tony…" she whispered and looked up.
Tony smiled down at her and brushed the tears away. "Better?" he asked and Pepper nodded.
Pepper's body was shouting hormones. The redhead bit her lip and shook her head to clear it. Tony turned he head to the side curious on why Pepper was acting so strangely. "You ok Pep?" he asked and Pepper put on a fake smile and nodded "Ya...I'm fine…." She said stepping away from him. She walked over to the chair and put it in between them. Tony raised an eyebrow, "you sure you're alright Pepper?" he ask stepping closer to her and the chair.
"Ya…j-just…ummm" Pepper stammered blushing, Tony smiled and stepped closer and Pepper took a step back. "Pep…what's wrong with you?" Tony asked laughing as he moved the chair. Pepper blushed and shook her head "it's too embarrassing." She said crossing her arms. Tony's mind turned as he tried to figure out what was wrong. Then something in Tony's mind clicked, he had secretly bought some books on pregnancy and started to read them. Women who are pregnant experience mood swings of all kinds. She could start crying at any moment or be really happy, and there also another thing. Realization hit Tony Square in the face, he smiled and walked forward. He pulled Pepper close to him, Pepper bit her lip again her heart racing. "Can I tell you something?" Tony asked whispering in her ear. Pepper nodded not trusting her voice, Tony put one hand on Pepper's cheek and he put the other on her stomach. "I love you Patricia Potts." He whispered and Pepper was speechless. Tony smiled at her and kissed her before she could say anything.
Pepper's eyes slowly closed and she wrapped her arms around Tony's neck. Tony's arms moved so they were wrapped around her waist. The kiss lasted a very long time before they broke apart for air, "wow…." Tony said blinking. Pepper smiled and nodded, "Ya…you know as a teenager I already have a lot of hormones…but now I'm pregnant….it increased it like tenfold." She said laughing. Tony nodded still dazed from the kiss, "Yay…." Tony said still statue like. Pepper giggled and picked up her backpack, "Well I have to go…see you later." She said smiling. As she walked by she reached up and gave Tony one more bruising kiss.
Tony sighed happily and watched as Pepper left the armory, Rhodey walked in a minute after the redhead left. "Hey man…is Pepper alright…she was grinning when I walked past her." He said. Tony had a smile on his face as well. He sat down to work on his armor and ignored Rhodey's question. Rhodey smiled "Oh….so you finally kissed her." He said and Tony laughed like an idiot. Rhodey chuckled and walked toward the door "I'm just going to leave and let you fantasize alone." He said and left.
One week later:
Pepper slipped on a bridesmaid and fixed her hair into a bun. She put on the pair of high heels her cousin is making her wear; she sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Pepper walked out of her room and into the living room at the Rhodes house, there sat Tony, Rhodey, Roberta, and David Rhodey's dad. "Ok…I'm off to my cousins wedding…see you guys in a bit." She said. Everyone looked at her in awe. "Pepper you look beautiful." Roberta said smiling, Pepper blushed and said "Thank you."
Tony grinned "I think that was an understatement." He said and Pepper's cheeks grew even redder. Tony stood up and gave the redhead a hug before she left. Pepper smirked and kissed Tony tenderly on the lips. She pulled back and Tony was a statue again. She walked down the small hall way to the door and waited for a second.
Tony started to sprint up the stairs to the bathroom yelling "Cold shower!" David's laughter boomed through the house and Pepper grinned and yelled "I still got it!" before she left.
Deleted scene 2: Sick at school (month 1)
Monday week four
Pepper sat next to Tony trying to focus on her work but her stomach was bugging her. She looked around the room and saw that everyone was working or chatting with their friends. Pepper's face grew warm and a familiar pain shot through her stomach. She clenched her teeth shut and she quickly walked to the classroom door and walked out before she sprinted down the hallway with her hand over her mouth.
Tony saw Pepper's body language change to comfortable to unsure to plain old sick. He watched as she quickly left the classroom. He put down his pencil and walked out the door, Pepper was sprinting down the hallway with a hand over her mouth. Morning sickness he thought and made his way to the girl's bathroom.
He looked down both ends of the hallway before he peeked into the girl's bathroom. He heard crying and retching. Tony walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. Tony walked up behind Pepper and held her hair and rubbed her back "You're going to be ok Pep…" he whispered. The entire time he rubbed her back and whispered encouraging things to her.
When Pepper was fished Tony helped her up and over to the sink. Pepper rinsed out her mouth and pulled a piece of mint chewing gum out of her purse. "Thanks…" she said not meeting Tony's eyes. Tony wrapped his arms around her "anytime pep." He whispered. He took her hand and led her out of the bathroom and back to class.
