A/N: Hey everyone! So, this is my first Avengers/Iron Man fanfiction, so please be nice. This takes place after both of those movies, but Tony never stopped being Iron Man! Hope y'all like it! Oh yeah, and in this story, Pepper and Tony are about 28 and 30, since the movie never exactly gave their ages :)

Pepper Potts sat in the lounge of Stark tower, presumably doing work on her lap top while Tony was on his latest mission with the other Avengers. Pepper didn't like it when Tony risked his life, but as long as it was for the sake of humanity, she just had to deal with it.

"Why does it always have to be robots?" Tony asked, walking into the lounge, the others hot on his heals, holding an ice pack to his head.

"What happened to you?" She asked, getting up and rushing over to her boyfriend.

"Pep, i'm fine. Just a couple of bruises and a mild concussion. No big deal."

"No big deal? Tony_" She started, only to be cut off by the wave of dizziness and nausea as she rushed to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her and emptying the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

"Pepper? Are you okay?" Tony asked, jiggling the door handle.

"I'm fine, just leave Tony. Don't worry about me."

Tony sighed and looked at the others, obviously worried for his girlfriend.

"Everyone leave, i'll talk to Pepper." Natasha ordered.

"But_"

"GO!" She shouted, her patience was running thin with them, and she could only handle them for so long without Pepper's help. She watched in amusement as Tony and the rest scrambled for the lap or their bedrooms.

"Pep? It's me, Tasha, can I come in?"

No answer.

"Virginia Potts, we can either do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way."

Silence.

Hard way it is...The assassin thought, and took one of her bobby pins, ever so carefully picking the lock and pushing the door open with ease.

"Alright, spill. What's going on with you?" Natasha asked, kneeling down beside her friend.

"I honestly don't know. I've never felt this weak before."

Natasha let out an irritated sigh, and it was several minutes before either of them spoke spoke or moved.

"Are you pregnant?"

A/N: Let me know what y'all think! Please review, they make me happy :)
