Chapter 2-Blue

Blue was a significant colour for both Pepper and Tony.

Blue was the colour of Tony's shirt the day he came back from Afghanistan.

Their Son Michael James Stark had dark blue eyes when he was born but they slowly became lighter until finally settling on sky blue when he was 12.

Their Daughter Alexandra Maria Stark had the brightest blue eyes when she was born. They eventually turned to brown, and finally settled on green when she was 8.

The Children had to inherit their Blue eyes from someone, and that someone was their mother. Pepper had the brightest blue eyes anyone had seen, they but the sky to shame with the amount of colour they had in them.

Blue was the colour of Pepper's dress when Tony and her danced that night at the charity ball. It was also the same night that Tony left Pepper on the roof.

Blue was the colour the Arc reactor glowed, the same Arc Reactor that Tony had implanted in his chest.

Ever since the birth of their children Blue had become Tony and Pepper's favourite colour. They made sure Michael and Alex's rooms were both decorated with that colour, as were their bedsheets and pillow cases.

Michaels favourite car figurine was blue and when he turned 16 he was surprised with a shiny new blue stark car.

Alex's first teddy bear was named 'sapphire' and it wasn't it even it's colour! It was just a normal Teddy bear which Rhodey gave her on her 1st birthday. She could not be separated from it until she started high school but even then it had a special spot on her shelf.

The sapphire's on the eternity ring that Tony gave Pepper when Pepper was in the middle of labour with their first son. The sapphires were the colour of a Caribbean sea and the silver was as bright as the moon. Pepper forgot about that pain for 3 seconds and thanked her husband endlessly telling him that she loved him until another painful contraction hit and she was tossing around threats again.

Blue was the most beautiful colour this family had seen.
