(A/N Thanks for the reviews! I also want to say sorry for the really bad typos in the last part of the chapter I guess that's what I get for writing at 3 am….-_-…. Now I know that all of you want to know who the special girl is going to be. Well be prepared to find out! Happy reading!)
Chapter 2: Surprise….!
One month after the blood drive:
"We got you what needed Zimmer! Why am I not getting any results?!" Nick Fury yelled. Zimmer just raised his hand in defense and said "Sir it takes time! I have just recently found the right DNA for my experiment! The results need lots of time sir." Said Zimmer trying to calm Fury. Fury stepped forward with his finger pointed at the strangely calm doctor. "Come back in a few months sir then you shall have what you need" said Zimmer with a smile and fury stopped grunted and walked out leaving the evil man to think. Fury won't get anything but an empty lab thought Zimmer with a laugh. Zimmer walked over to a glass tank and said "you my dear will be one of the most powerful beings on this Earth" He smiled and continued his work. What the doctor didn't know was that Fury was listening the whole time.
Exactly 8 months later at the Rhodes house:
"Hey guys! Ready for the BBQ?" Pepper asked running up to her friends with her father following holding what looks to be a salad. Rhodey looked up to sky and said "I don't know we might have to move it inside because it looks like it's going to rain." With that came a clap of thunder. "Hey where is Tony?" Pepper asked Rhodey smile and pointed back to the house. "My mom has him working in the kitchen" Rhodey laughed. Pepper laughed too as lightning flashed.
"Come on before it rains!" Pepper said jogging to the house with Rhodey jogging behind her. "Hey Tony! Hi Mrs. Rhodes!" Pepper said as she walked into the kitchen with Rhodey and her dad.
"Hey Pepper!" Tony said as he put plates and napkins on the table for Mrs. Rhodes. "Virgil so glad you could make it!" Roberta said walking over to shake his hand as Mr. Rhodes came in protecting some burgers and hotdogs. "It's pouring outside!" Mr. Rhodes said putting down the plate and shaking the water off. After an hour of eating and talking around the island in the kitchen where dessert was sitting when there came knock at the door. Roberta went to see who it was.
"Tony, Rhodey, Pepper" Roberta said to the trio as she came into the room with SHIELD agents in tow One of them was General Nick Fury himself. "Son we need to talk" said Fury looking at Tony.
"We had this doctor by the name of Mark Zimmer. For a while we thought he was on our side. He wanted to do an experiment with Extremis he did all he could to convince me to give him permission. And he did a great job of it. I regret it. All he wanted was power. This man is brilliant with DNA…." Fury trailed off trying to explain.
"What has this got to do with me?" asked Tony crossing his arms. Fury brought out a folder thick with paper. "This has everything you need to know, but the most important things you need to know has to be told not read. Zimmer Took your blood from your school blood drive along with many others….female others. Zimmer tried to make your DNA and the DNA of one of the female's pair up with Extremis but they all failed except for one." Tony's mind was reeling. Tried to pair my DNA with another. A girls DNA…..Tony's eye got wide…that would mean that…..
"Doctor Zimmer made a human Child out of Tony's DNA and another girls to make one of the most powerful beings in the world." Fury finished. Everyone's mouths were open. Tony could only stare straight ahead.
Roberta stepped forward and asked "Who is the girl?" Fury looked over to the waiting parents and said "Pepper Potts" Pepper who was drinking soda to calm her nerves just spewed it all over the floor. Everyone was looking at Tony and Pepper. Tony who hasn't moved or blinked just sat there staring ahead like a statue and Pepper was just speechless but still alive. Fury motioned for someone to come in the room. An agent walked into the kitchen holding a baby in a pink blanket.
Pepper was the only one brave enough to walk forward to take the baby from the SHEILD agent. She made herself gingerly walk over to a chair to sit down. Roberta snapped out of her daze and went off to the attic for Rhodey's old baby carrier.
"How could this have happened…..?" Mr. Potts muttered to himself running fingers through his graying hair. Roberta got back soon after she left. She walked over to Pepper and gently took the baby girl and placed her in the carrier.
" Tony we-" Roberta looked over at Tony but he was still as a statue. And everyone finally noticed. Rhodey went over to his friend and waved his hand in front of Tony's face " Tony! Hey man!" Rhodey said loudly in Tony's ear. Pepper walked over at Tony "TONY" She yelled but Tony didn't move. Pepper had an idea but it's going to hurt….him.
" I am soooo sorry for this!" Pepper squeaked as she brought her hand back then forward to connect with his face and made one of the loudest "SLAP!"sounds ever. "Snap out of it!" Yelled Pepper who was starting to freak out and trying really hard to not do a happy dance because it was her DNA that worked instead of Whitney Stanes. "OW. Pepper!" Tony said rubbing his cheek he looked over to see Rhodey on the floor in fits of laughter until they all heard a giggle.
Everyone brought their attention to the baby girl. She has eyes that are dark brown with bright flecks of blue and she has dark hair but it has bright red in it when the sun hits just right. "She has Pepper's nose" said Virgil still not sure how he feels about this. "Her eyes are Beautiful" Roberta said everyone nodded except Fury and his agents they just quietly left. The baby giggled and reached up her hands like she wanted to be picked up. Her hands were aimed at Tony who only blinked and looked around him.
" Uhhh Tony I think she wants you" said Rhodey snickering and thinking If this doesn't get him and Pepper together I'm going to jump off a bridge! Tony gently took the baby out of her carrier and held her unsure of himself. " ummm Tony did you hear who the mom was?" Rhodey asked smiling. "No. Who is it?" Tony asked worried " Here give me the baby for a second…." Pepper said blushing as she took the baby from a confused and worried Tony. "Tony the mother to the baby is….Pepper." Rhodey said trying really hard not to laugh. Tony just blushed flaming red and sat down in the chair. Awkward silence filled the room. Pepper went over to her dad and said " Dad I'm going to have to stay here for a while. If that's ok with you Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes" Roberta nodded " of course it's ok honey. Oh how are we going to explain this to the media!?" Mrs. Rhodes said with a hand running through her hair.
After an hour or so Pepper's dad went home to get her some cloths and other things she may need. And the trio went to the armory with the baby. " I have a lot to do!" said Tony rushing around gathering items and started to make a list of stuff he needed. "And what is it that you need to do?" asked Pepper as she put the baby carrier on the counter where the big computer is. " Oh you know a crib and a new baby carrier because that one looks just scary out of date….." Tony trailed off " Your very committed to this" Pepper said with a smile. " Ya of course I am. I mean …." Tony trailed off again scratching the back of his head a blush forming on his face. Rhodey just shook his head smiling.
It was getting late and the baby was asleep. Roberta called them back to the house. When they got back Roberta and David were in the kitchen talking. " Tony. Pepper are you both sure you don't want to give the baby up for adoption?" Asked Roberta. The two teen nodded sure of themselves. "Ok. Have figured out a name for her yet?" Asked David Rhodey's dad.
Pepper and Tony looked at each other then the baby " Ummm how about Melody?" asked Pepper Tony smiled and nodded " I like it!" Pepper put the baby carrier on the counter and said "Welcome Home Melody Joy Stark" Tony was happy to hear the baby's name. It made him smile wider and walk over to Pepper and give her big hug he didn't blush this time because it felt right.
