A/N: Hey guys, so here's chapter two, hope y'all like it! Enjoy! Also, baby Jason's nick name is 'Jace' incase y'all wondered who the Jace they're referring to, is!
Everyone arrived back at the tower to see Pepper passed out on the 'L' shaped couch with Lili, the child's fleece Spongebob blanket wrapped tightly around them, next to them in a bassinet, was one week old Jason, sound asleep. Rather than wake them up, the group crept quietly over to the bar...until Thor broke a glass as Jane came in, waking Lili, who in turn, woke up a sleeping Pepper.
"Tony? Is that you?" She mumbled, poking her head up over the couch, finally deciding to get up and joining them, knowing it was only a matter of time before Jace woke up.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Lili squealed, running to the two assassins, unconsciously waking up the sleeping baby.
Pepper sighed and turned around in her chair, moving to get up only for Tony to stop her.
"Don't. Enjoy a drink, i'll handle Jace." Tony said, handing her a martini as he turned to get the crying infant.
"The babe is keeping you up, is he not?" Thor asked, grabbing a seat next to Jane as Tony returned with a now calm baby.
Of course he stops crying as soon as Tony picks him up, but when I do it, I can't calm him down for over ten minutes...She thought, before turning back to the Demi-God.
"Yeah. I was actually able to sneak a few hours of sleep until all of you got home...so, what happened today?" She asked, taking a small sip of her martini.
"Fury thinks we're mentally insane and ordered us into therapy." Tony answered.
Pepper laughed, looking at Jane who looked at everyone else, amused, but trying to contain her laughter.
"So, he's noticed it too? About time!" Jane joked, giving Pepper a high five before getting up and heading back to the lab once she noticed the dirty looks Tony sent her way.
Steve sighed, pulling Maria into the seat beside him while Natasha sat at the end of the bar with Clint, Lili sitting on her lap.
"He doesn't think we're insane. He just wants us to be alert at all times in the day, especially on missions, and we can't do that unless we're actually sleeping."
"Capsicle! The only people that can qualify as mentally unstable are Spidey and Agent Chill over there!" The billionaire snapped, nodding his head at Maria and Natasha.
"Mama and Auntie Maria aren't crazy!" Lili said as Clint took her into his own lap.
Both women stood up, hands on their weapons as they sent glares in Tony's direction, fully prepared to do something until they remembered Lili and Jace were in the room.
"Лучше спать с одним открытым глазом." Natasha muttered in Russian as she took Lili and angrily walked out of the room.
Maria sighed and followed, pointing an index finger at her self, and pointing her gun at Tony as she said,
"Thin. Ice."
Maria left briskly, making everyone cringe...Clint and Steve too nervous and afraid to follow the angry women.
"Anyway...Cap is right..Fury wouldn't put us in therapy if it wasn't for our own good, we're insane, don't get me wrong...but in a good way." Bruce said, when he got no response, he quickly changed the subject, "So, Pepper, who's going to watch Jason and Lili when you go back to work?"
"John"
"John? As in Maria's Dad, John?"
"Yes, that's correct. Will that be all, Mr. Stark?" She asked, taking the infant in her arms.
"No, actually that will not be all. Are you out of your freaking mind!? He abused Agent Chill, and I can barely trust her to be alone with him! Do you really want to leave our son with him!?" He asked, raising his voice, which caused the infant to squirm in her arms as Steve shot him a glare.
Pepper sighed and handed the baby to Steve.
"Take Jace and go find Maria and Natasha." She ordered, making Steve and Clint get up, nearly running to the elevator, definitely not wanting to witness the fight that would most likely break out.
"Well, look at the time! Thor and I have to go...polish his hammer!" Bruce said quickly, grabbing Thor before he could protest, following after the archer and soldier.
Pepper stood up, walking closer to him threateningly.
"You know, this group therapy will be good for you."
Tony rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. Sue me for wanting to protect our son from a child abuser who was in rehab for almost a decade."
Pepper sighed and put her hands on her hips, something she often did when she started to get annoyed.
"Look, you obviously don't know him well enough! He took Lili, Jason, and I out to lunch with him and Ryder, you know? His GRANDSON, whom he takes care of when Danny and Maria's sister-in-law are at work. I saw the regret in his eyes when we talked about Maria and Danny, what they were like as children. He obviously feels guilty about what he's done, Tony. Ryder looks fine, no unexplained weight loss or bruises. Give him a chance. For me." Pepper explained.
Tony looked at his fiancée, seeing the pleading look in her eyes.
He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Alright, fine! But the minute I suspect him of neglecting or abusing Jace and Lili, and I can't believe Spidey and Legolas even agreed to this_" He started, only for Pepper to cut him off.
"I had this same conversation with Clint and Tasha yesterday night after you had taken Jace to bed. They're going to give him a chance, and I promised them that as soon as something was...off...then John won't be allowed near them, is that what you were going to say?" Pepper asked, brushing a strand of blonde hair out of her face.
"Actually, I was going to say that I was going to kill him..." Tony trailed off as Pepper threw her hands up in frustration as she turned around and left in a huff, shouting out,
"We aren't going to go there, Anthony!"
Good job, Stark. Made three women pissed at you in less than twenty minutes...
