DISCLAIMER : NO INCIDENT IN THIS FIC IS RELATED TO ANY OTHER FIC OF MINE.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEOFORE READING THIS FIC: Civil War didn't happen. Bruce Banner didn't leave. The avengers have been living in peace in the Avengers Tower. Tony knows Spidey and Ray and Peter has been in a relationship. I'm not going to write any romantic description of how they met 'cause I'm not in the mood and I don't think I'm going to be in the mood anytime soon. Pepperony maybe included in the beginning only.

It was late evening when Pepper walked into Ray's room. Like always she found her engrossed in doing something on the virtual screens. "Ray." Pepper said gaining her attention. She looked to her standing on her door.

"Hey Pep! Wassup?" she asked as Pepper walked into her room.

"Nothing as such, just..umm..." she trailed.

Ray flinched. "You wanna talk about something?" she as raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah." She said in a nervous tone.

"What's wrong?" she sounded worried. Pepper wasn't normally a person who would feel nervous while talking, and that too in front of Ray!

"Nothing's wrong!" she quickly assured with a smile as Ray nodded. "Actually I think..." she paused again.

"Pepper you can tell me anything. Really!" she insisted.

Pepper sighed. "It's... actually..." she said. This time Ray noticed her blush. She raised an eyebrow. Pepper pulled out a pregnancy test kit.

At this Ray's eye went wide. "Whaaaaaat? Really?" she sounded shocked and then over-excited making Pepper nervous again. "Did you check? What did it say? Did you tell Tony?"

"No...No!" Pepper blushed. "I didn't check yet. I was just thinking that...maybe..."

She didn't have to complete that because Ray was already pulling her off the bed. "Then what are you waiting for? Go!"

"Wait!" Pepper stopped. "I...I am not sure if I..."

"Pepper," she sounded a bit serious. "That's why you're taking the test." She pushed her in the washroom. "Just do it!" she closed the door for her.

As Pepper sat inside opening the box she could hear Ray impatiently tapping her feet on the floor. Maybe she should have done the test before telling the teenager. After all, teenage hormones can make you go crazy! "Is it done?" she asked.

"Ray, this takes 15 minutes." This time Pepper rolled her eyes.

"You can at least pee faster." She sounded completely like a kid. She was more excited than Pepper herself!

After what felt like eternities of waiting for Ray Pepper walked out. "What does it say?"

Pepper gulped "Its...its positive."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Ray squealed before hugging Pepper in her death grip. "I'm so happy for you!" she added calming down a bit. But Pepper looked tensed. "What happened?" she said realising that.

"Wha..what do I tell him?"

"What?" Ray blinked back her astonishment. "Just go and tell him. He must be in his lab."

"Yeah, but what?"

Ray laughed. "Pepper, you're the business tycoon! The CEO of Stark Industries and you feel nervous to tell Tony that you're pregnant?"

"Don't laugh. You'll know how it feels when it's your turn."

"Me?" Ray laughed again, "I'm going to be very straight forward." She assured.

"We'll see." Pepper said trying to calm down her own nerves. She started taking deep breaths trying to make up her mind to tell Tony. "Alright, calm down..." Ray was about so say when she was cut short by Tony. "What are you girls doing?" he said as both Ray and Pepper turned towards him. "What are you girls doing, in front of the bathroom?" he repeated as he casually walked in wanting to know what the reason of the excitement was.

Pepper gave Ray a 'I-am-not-ready-yet' look making her roll her eyes but she listened. Of course if someone was supposed to tell Tony, it was Pepper. She couldn't take that away from her. "Nothing." She said quickly before he feels something was fishy.

Tony raised an eyebrow. Sure he heard Ray squealing. That was the reason he came upstairs to find out what was going out. "No, there is something going on!" he insisted crossing his arms on his chest.

Pepper looked a bit tensed and Ray knew she had to be the one to cover up for her. "Why do you have to be a part of every girl talk?"

Tony eyed his sister and then Pepper. He raised an eyebrow. Of course he wasn't letting it go so easily!

"Tony, seriously, it's just a little girl stuff you won't understand." Ray said as Pepper nodded in approval.

"I have my eyes on you both!" he said walking out of the room.

As he did Pepper let out a deep breath of relief. She really needed some time processing everything before she told Tony. "Phew! That was a close one." Pepper laughed. Ray laughed too. "Yeah, but I feel like he's gonna try to find out. You better tell him soon." Ray said.

"Yeah I will."

So there's chapter 1. Yes, these are the side effects of watching Infinity War. Actually this has been in my mind for a long time now. Today I just felt like writing it down.

Please tell me if you like this chapter.
