Authors Note: Hey there! Okay so, I really wanted to write this story. I've had the idea for a while now and I finally got the time to write it down. This is my first ever piece of fanfiction so don't hate me too much! I'm new at this! xD

Also English is not my home language so if there is any grammar / spelling errors just point them out and I'll be more than happy to fix them for you.

I hope this story doesn't suck too bad. Please Review/Fave and I'll be sure to update if I have readers :P

Disclaimer: I just want to point out, nothing is mine and everything belongs to their rightful owners.

Chapter 1: Fashionably late.

Pepper's POV

I opened my eyes it was still extremely early in the morning but I had to wake Tony up. He had a mission today, personally given to him by Nick Fury and he needed to be in New York in 6 hours. And because we're talking about Tony here, Fury asked me to make sure he woke up and made it on time.

I stretched my arms out to feel the other side of the bed. Yep, just like I thought. Tony was still curled up in a ball, sleeping. I pulled myself to a sitting position and crawled closer to him.

"Tony, wake up."I whispered and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

He pulled the blankets over his head and sighed."I don't wanna." He mumbled, barely audible.

I couldn't help but smile. "Tony you have a mission in New York and when you come home I'll have the biggest surprise for you...!"I grinned when I thought back on what I found out a short week ago.

He sat up and blinked. "Pepper, you can't tell me things like that... Now I'm going to be curious the entire day long!"He sighed, he was clearly awake now. "Please tell me."He whined and I laughed, he looked like a five year old begging to know what his birthday present was.

"No, I'll tell you after your mission."I grinned and he pouted.

"But Pepper! I won't be able to focus If you don't tell me! PLEASE!" He made his lip wobble and I pulled him in for a gentle kiss.

"Oh trust me Tony, you won't be able to focus at all, if I tell you now."I replied with my lips still pressed against his.

He mumbled something and stood up. "Fine! but as soon as I come back you have to tell me! Got it?" He narrowed his eyes playfully and I nodded.

"I promise." with that said he left to get ready.

One hour later I sat in the kitchen, I had just finished making Tony some breakfast and he was still getting ready, I relaxed and read through the paper.

"Hey Pep!"I heard his voice behind me and smiled. "Something smells delicious!"He added as he gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.

"I made waffles, you're favorite!"I grinned and he pressed another kiss on my cheek.

"Wow! Thanks Pep! You're seriously the best thing in my life... ever!"He exclaimed as he dived into his stack of waffles.

"For now."I whispered and he raised an eyebrow.

"What does_ that_ mean?"He asked curiously while taking yet another bite.

I smirked and closed the paper. "I'll tell you when you get back..."

His facial expression turned both confused and curious... "PEPPER PLEASE TELL ME NOW!"He shouted with a full mouth and I smiled in accomplishment while standing up.

"No. You have to get going anyways Mr Stark."I smiled and he chuckled softly.

"Whatever you say Mrs Stark."He took the last bite of his waffles and joined me at the stairs. "You're probably right though...At this rate I'll be about 30 minutes late already."He grinned sheepishly.

"Fashionably late as always Tony."I reminded him and he nodded.

"I'm gonna go now, I'll see you tonight if everything goes well."He joked and I punched him in the arm.

"Don't even make jokes about that Tony!"I growled and punched him again.

He lifted his arms up in surrender and pulled me into a long passionate kiss.

"I promise I'll come back Pepper."He whispered in my ear and I nodded.

"You better."

He gave me one last gentle kiss before he began to walk down the stairs to his workshop and a few seconds later I heard him fly off.

"You're going to be such a great dad Tony."I whispered while looking out the window as his figure disappeared into the distance. Little did I know that, that would be the last time I'd see him.

So how was that? Please review! I might just upload another chapter later today if there is any interest. :D

Thanks for reading!
