Thank you to Dreamsareinfinity6 for her request, I also changed my username to Sweet Little Darling. Thanks for your reviews!
-Twelve Years Old-
Pepper stormed through the clean living room at her boss's Malibu Mansion. Her boss, she should have remembered that Tony Stark was her boss, not her boyfriend even if she had fantasize about them being together more than once.
She had thought that after she and Tony had kissed after he almost died, and hadn't told her that it had meant something, not only to her, but to him. Of course she knew that they weren't going to get married or anything. But she hadn't thought that she would be so easily replaceable.
You will not cry, Pepper scolded herself. He's an asshole anyway, he doesn't deserve your tears.
"Pepper!" Tony stammered as he ran behind her, half naked and wearing only a sheet covering half of his body. "Pepper, wait let me explain!"
"Explain what?" Pepper snarled. "That you were in bed with some blond, six foot Amazon? Or is she the model for the next Sport Illustated? Or how about Playboy?"
"I-uh-I." for the first time, Tony was speecheless and if Pepper wasn't so hurt and angry at him, she might have been amused.
"I don't want your excuses." Pepper snapped. "I'm tired of you, I'm tired of you treating me like I'm a tissue-"
"I never-"
"Oh, shut up!"
Audriana was crouched on top of the staircase peeking through one of the rails. She didn't know if the scene was funny or pathetic. It was obvious that Tony and Pepper loved each other. Though her dad always had a tendancy to mess things up. Surprise, surprise.
"Why are you up so early?" Ariana yawned as she sat next to Audriana, her old red blanket wrapped around her body.
"Daddy and Pepper are fighting." Audriana said.
"Uh, yeah I notice," Ariana raised an eyebrow when Pepper and Tony raised their voices. "What for, did Daddy miss another meeting?"
"No, Daddy slept with another woman even though he kissed Pepper." Audriana replied sarcastically. "Pepper went in to surprise him and she found Daddy in bed with another girl."
"How do you know all this?" Ariana asked puzzled.
"I was spying though my bedroom window," Audriana confessed. "And I think Jarvis likes to gossip more than I do."
"I said I was sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it Tony!"
"Ouch," Ariana winced. "Daddy is really getting it now. It reminds me of Dr. Phil."
"No, more like Jerry Springer." Audriana corrected. She bit her lip nervously. "You know Pepper threatened to leave? She said she was going to quit being Daddy's assistant."
"She can't quit!" Ariana stomped her foot.
"Shh," Audriana scolded her sister. "Do you want them to hear you?" she pointed to the living room where Pepper and Tony were still fighting.
"I like Pepper," Ariana replied annoyed as she started braiding her dark hair. "She's the only nice woman that Daddy ever dated, why does he have to go ruin everything? What number is this woman?"
"Twenty-five," Audriana replied. "He slept with twenty-five girls since we've been here and of all the bimbos he dated, he couldn't pick Pepper?" Both Ariana and Audriana thought Pepper as a mother figure. They loved her and they could talk to her about girl stuff that Tony didn't 't want to hear about or was to creeped out to actually talk about it.
Pepper downstairs had now dissolved into tears and she hated to noticed that she was hiccupping as she talked now. "I'm leaving. . .I'm leaving Tony I can't stand this. . .I can't stand you anymore. . .I don't want to see you again."
"Wait, Pep, please," he begged as he grabbed her wrist while using his other hand to hold the sheet around his body. "You can't leave. You're my assistant. And what about Ariana and Audriana, they're older now. . I can't handle their. . Female changes."
"Audriana and Ariana can reach me at anytime," Pepper said primly. "They have my number."
"But I-" he mumbled something.
"What?"
"But I'll miss you," he murmured as he spontaneously landed a kiss on Pepper's lips. Pepper kissed him back surrpise. "Pep, I'm sorry. . .I'm an idiot. I just didn't think you could love someone like me. But I was wrong. You're my girl. Please forgive me?"
Pepper paused for a moment. "I forgive you."
Audriana and Ariana were both silent. "Are they still fighting?"
"I . . .don't think so." Audriana stood up. "I think they stopped actually. Maybe they made up."
"Do you think they will get married?" Ariana asked hopefully. "Maybe Pepper will ask us to be bridesmaids!"
Audriana rolled her eyes. Ariana always was a dreamer.
"Oh,"
They turned around and saw a redheaded woman who they had never seen before. She was wearing a black cat suit. "My mistake."
Natasha left through the window and crawled to the roof where Clint Barton was waiting. "Hey, you're fast." Clint teased.
"The girls were there." Natasha replied. "They don't know that I am an agent for SHIELD. I didn't want to confuse them."
"How do they look like?" Clint asked generally interested.
"Like Tony, expect with dark blue eyes." Natasha shrugged. "They seem pretty clever, and remember, Audriana is a witch. Who knows maybe in the future they will be like their father working for SHIELD."
