I own nothing
The day of Mia's birthday, she woke up to a room filled with twenty-eight balloons in all her favorite colors. Mia removed the sleep from her eyes shaking her head. She knew this was just the start of Tony's doing. She got out of her queen size bed and padded into the bathroom. After washing her and her normal morning bathroom routine she head into the living room. There were twenty-eight roses, all in shades of yellow which she was stocked he remembered was her favorite color rose, sitting on her counter in cut crystal vase. Mia sighed and rolled her neck out as she padded into the kitchen dressed in dark blue night dress that had spaghetti straps and white lace trim it stopped at mid thigh; she paused to start the coffee. Before, turning to look in the fridge to see what she had in there to make for breakfast.
"Jarvis?" Mia asked.
"Good Morning Ma'am and Happy Twenty-Eighth Birthday. It is 9:05 in the morning currently it 78 degrees cloudy with slight chance of rain. Winds are to the south at five miles per hour. High today is 91 with humidity around 65%."
"Thank you Jarvis"
"You're welcome ma'am, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"One more thing; are there anymore Twenty eight theme gift in my apartment."
"Beside the balloons, the roses, and pearls no Ma'am"
"Pearls, what pearls?"
"On your bedside table, Ma'am"
Mia poured a cup of coffee before heading into her bedroom again. There on her bedside table was box in gold engraved on the table of it was Mia with twenty-eight pearl inlayed into the top of the box. Tony over top birthday plan had begun. She sat down on her bed again and groaned. That was when she noticed a note by the box; it read.
Happy Birthday Magpie, hope you like the balloons, the roses, and pearls. I figured you needed a new keepsakes box for the New York apartment. Oh and best is yet to come have no doubt of that.
Love
Tony
Mia rubbed her eyes as she shook her head. She knew he was doing it to please her. The gifts he given her thus far today was starting to be over the top. The balloons were simple touch it made her smile; the roses were shocking to but in a way sweet. The gold box with inlay pearls were more Tony over top gift. At least all of these were under 50, 000 dollars. In his mind Mia knew that he did not know how to show how much he care about her. Tony she guessed got it from their parents mainly her dad. She got large expensive present when from Howard it was his way of showing he loved her. But all she really wanted was to spend time with him that same thing she wanted from Tony. She could tell already that this was not going to be the nice quiet day she wanted. She walked back to the kitchen adding cream and sugar to her coffee before walking over to sofa and sitting. She looked around the living room of her apartment, it looked more like flower shop at the moment between, Steve's gifts and Tony's rose there was not an table without a flower in the living room. She glanced over to end of the sofa where the large light brown bear Steve won her still sat. She smiled at the sight of the bear before taking a drink of her coffee. She knew this would most likely be the only quiet time she had today. When a knock sounded at the door; groaning as she set her mug on the coffee table.
"Jarvis, who's at the door?"
"It is Captain Rogers. Should I tell him you are busy ma'am?"
"No tell him I will be there in moment."
Mia ran into her bedroom pushing the balloons away from her closet to grab her robe. It came to her knees but it was better than the night dress she was wearing. She threw it on tying it tight at the waist. Before making sure her hair was not total rat nest from sleep. When she was sure she look decent at least she head back to the front door. She opened it to reveal Steve dress in grey t-shirt with jeans on and pair of tennis shoes. He eyes went wide and he turned bright red when he noticed the state of undress she was in. Bare foot the robe parted giving him a little view of her bare thighs. He took a deep breath trying to calm his feelings that were now coursing through his body. She could not be sexier to him then she was in that moment. He eyes quickly advert from her looking at the ceiling.
"I didn't mean to wake you"
"You didn't wake me I was up just relaxing before my day of Tony's birthday fun started."
Her eyes traveled to his face which was still bright red his blue eyes were looking anywhere but at her. She reached out her hand and to place it on his arm. She could feel him trembling she was not sure with what but when her hand touched him his eyes traveled down her innocent doe like eyes. He was hooked.
"Do you want to come in?"
"Sure"
Steve and Mia walked back inside her apartment. Steve stopped in the living room his eyes traveled to the yellow roses then back to Mia. She was in the kitchen by the rose reaching for another mug. The robe parted a little more showing the top of the nightdress and her boobs. His heart nearly stopped in his chest turning all the redder looking everywhere but her. His mind was moving a mile a minute think of anything that would making the arousal feeling go away. She walked back over to him with cup of coffee in her hands; handed it to him. She walked back to the sofa where her coffee was sitting. He took it and walked over to her.
"Happy Birthday" Steve said as he sat down next to her.
She cuddled into his chest and let out a peaceful sigh. Steve wrapped his arms around her shoulder before leaning down and kissing her forehead. Then he took drink of his coffee.
"Thanks"
"So, sweetheart do you want to go out for breakfast"
"And avoid Tony extreme birthday breakfast. Sure, just let me get dress" Mia said with laughter in her voice.
Mia finished drink her coffee before walking into her bedroom to get ready. So many thoughts were racing through his mind like what if she does not like it and his body betraying him. He did not want to move to fast Mia. She deserved to court and that was what he was doing even if it killed him; but at times like this morning his body nearly got the best of him. She couldn't have been sexier to him not to mention beautiful. She was like an angel who just woke from her slumber.
He got up with sigh to put both mugs into the sink. He looked at the roses and counted them, there were twenty eight all with all the thorns removed. He shook his head as his mind travel to shelter where he would be taking later to pick out her gift.
Mia walked back into the room wearing jeans and dark blue scoop neck shirt. Her hair was pulled back with two curls framing her face. She had very little make-up on. Steve turned and looked at her. She looked at him oddly
"What?" Mia asked
"You look amazing"
"Thank you."
Steve walked over to her and offered her his arm. She smiled and linked arms with him grabbing her purse as they headed out the door. They headed down the garage. He stopped at one of her old town cars. He walked over to the passenger seat and opened the door for her. She shook her head before getting into the car. He kissed her softly before shutting the door and went to driver side door.
Mia sat across from Steve at dinner. They were smiling and laughing look very much a couple. He reached across the table and removed a stray curl from her eyes. She leaned into his hand. She let out a content sigh.
"So, who gave you the roses?" Steve asked.
"Tony, they go with the twenty eight balloons, and pearls."
Steve grinned when she said each thing like they were getting worse. He took a drink of his coffee. She took a drink of her juice.
"He like to go over the top; trust me" Mia laughed.
"How so?"
Mia took a bite of her French toast and thought some of Tony must over the top gift that she received for her birthday alone. She met Steve baby blue eyes. He took a bite of his pancakes.
"Let see there was Rolls-Royce when I turned sixteen." Mia started.
Steve eyes went a little wide.
"Then there was mansion in San Francisco for my 21st birthday. Oh and let not forget my favorite on my twenty-fourth birthday. He got me a present for every hour of the day. Mind you if they were small I would not cared it was cute way to get me present. Oh no one of them was less than 50,000 dollars."
Mia looked down more focus on her breakfast. Steve reached across the table and squeezed her hand; lifting her eyes to him. He tell from the way she looked at him that she was not joking. They were all over the top. He could see why she refused to Tony what she wanted for her birthday he could see Tony taking to the extreme. She knew it was only because Tony loved her
Tony and Pepper were prepping one floor of Stark Tower for Mia's birthday. They had decorators and planners galore. Pepper was going over list of paper that Tony had handed her the moment she walked into the room. Currently she was going over the menu for tonight party.
"What do you think, Pep" Tony asked.
Pepper looked up from the menu and looked at Tony as he was point to decoration. She nodded her head.
"It's wonderful. I'm shocked you remembered all her favorite foods."
Tony walked over to her and kissed her cheek. He wrapped his arm around her.
"I do have my moments" Tony laughed.
He noticed that was something was out of place. Pepper shook her head as he walked off to talk with decorator. She flipped the page to go over the guest list. She was making sure that Tony had stuck to his promise to Mia. There were the Avengers which were no big shocker, and then there was Colonel James Rhodes and Happy. Her eyes travel down the list and stop on name He eyes went wide.
"Tony, are you sure about this?"Pepper asked
Tony looked over to Pepper for second before going back to arguing with designer.
"Yeah why?"
"They just started dating. You want to cause drama"
"Drama is last thing I want for Magpie's birthday. Pep... She is Mia's Godmother for god sakes it would be wrong for not to be here."
"That may be but she also has ties to Steve"
"Look Pepper Magpie and Capsicle are dating. I don't want my sister to get hurt at all. He is happy; she is happy. Peggy being here for one night will not change that "
"I hope so"
