Chapter 1
Maria sat on the bathroom floor next to the bath, in the Stark Tower. It was a nice posh bathroom. Her back was pressed up against the white cat bath, Pepper had demanded Tony to get. Maria looked at the sink and then at her watch. Fuck this was taking a long time. Maria knew she couldn't have any. The bloody doctor had said she couldn't but here she was waiting. Waiting the two minutes, the two minutes nearly every women has to wait. It let like forever. If this turns out positive then she was going to find the doctor and beat the hell out of him. They had been back from their honeymoon for about two weeks now and Maria was five days late. She didn't really think about it until yesterday when she was cleaning out the bathroom that Steve and her shared. Anyway the honeymoon was fantastic. Steve loved Ireland and the views of the green land were amazing. He loved it and Maria knew she had picked right.
Maria felt sick as her watch started to beep, showing it was the end of the two annoying long minutes. Marie closed her eyes and then took a deep breath. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the white plastic stick on the floor in front of her. She took a deep breath as she saw what it said.
'Great,' she said. The stick read positive. She ran a hand through her brown hair, which she really needed to cut. It was running down to her elbows now. Maria jumped as there was a banging noise on the door.
'Hey Hill! You've been in there a long time, get out. I need a bloody pee,' Tony shouted from the other side of the door.
'Tony there are other toilet's in the tower,' Maria told him.
'I'm too lazy to go to the other toilet's and this is the closest one. Now get your ass out of there,' Tony shouted banging on the door again. Maria sighed and got up. She wrapped the stick in some tissues and put it in the bin next to the toilet. She washed her hands and unlocked the door.
'Thank god,' Tony said and pushed her out of the way and ran into the bathroom, shutting the door in Maria's face.
'Your welcome,' Maria called to him. 'Idiot,' she mumbled as she turned around. She walked down the corridor and into the kitchen. No-one was around, so she went and got a glass of water. She was going to have some alcohol to drowned her worried but alcohol and a baby growing inside you didn't really mix, so water it was. Maria sat down at the kitchen island with the bottle clenched tightly in both of her hands.
A baby. A real baby. She was having a baby. SHIT! But she couldn't have kids. But didn't that happen sometimes. You can get pregnant. The doctors most have fucked up. Yeah it was the doctor's fault. They had been safe and everything. So Maria decided it was the doctors and the condom company's fault. She was going to beat the hell out of both of them. She truly was. She didn't even know if she wanted a kids. So she wasn't going to tell Steve, not just yet. She needed to tell someone though. But it wasn't going to be Steve. Maybe she could tell Coulson. He would be bouncing for joy. The kid of Captain America. Coulson would love this kid and Maria knew that. But Phil was off in a mission in Japan, ll secret and everything, Maria didn't know why he was in Japan. All secret and everything. Just s Maria was trying o think off someone else she could tell the prefect person walked in. Her heels clicked on the floor as she stepping into the kitchen, living room area.
'Have you seen Tony?' Pepper asked.
'Last time I saw I'm he was kicking me out of the bathroom so he could pee,' Maria mumbled looking down at the bottle of water in her hands. Pepper nodded and turned on her heels. She took a couple of steps and then turned on her heels again to face Maria.
'Are you ok?' Pepper asked her. Maria looked up at her and then nodded.
'Yep, I'm fine,' She said opening to water bottle and taking a drink from it. Pepper raised an eyebrow.
'I am not be a spy but I still know something is going on . Are you and Steve fighting?' Pepper asked. Maria shook her head.
'No. I'm fine,' Maria said knowing she had answered too quickly and Pepper noticed too.
'You answered too fast. Now tell me. What's wrong?' Pepper asked, sitting down next to Maria sighed. She might as well say it. Just to Pepper thought.
'Fine, I'll tell you… I'm…' Maria said her voice trailing off.
'I'm what?' Pepper said. Maria looked up at her.
'I'm pregnant,' Maria mumbled.
