Here is chapter 10, guys! This is being posted kinda late at night, sorry. I missed a couple days of school last week and had homework to make up. This chapter is a little longer and in Pepper's point of view, so I hope you like it!


*2 Weeks Later*

~Pepper's POV~

"Good morning, JARVIS." I greeted as I walked through the front door of Stark Mansion.

"And the same to you, Miss Potts." JARVIS said. I rounded the corner to see Tony crawling on the floor behind Jade. I set my stuff down and put my hands on my hips.

"Tony," I began. He looked up at me with wide eyes. "What are you doing?" I asked. He cleared his throat and stood.

"Uhm, well," he started, running his fingers through his hair. "Follow the leader?" He smiled, obviously lying. I began to tap my foot. He sighed. "To be honest, I was studying the way Jade thinks. Why she does what she does. Stuff like that."

"Oh, god. Tony, please do not turn your daughter into a science experiment! She does what she does because she's a baby! I know it's your first time living and interacting with an infant, but seriously!" Jade crawled over to me and sat at my feet.

"Mama!" She said, reaching for me. I lifted her up into my arms and looked at her, and then Tony.

"Look at her; she's too cute to be an experiment." Tony crossed his arms.

"She wasn't an experiment… I was just trying to understand her."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you fed her yet?" I asked, fixing Jade's messy hair. Tony rolled his eye.

"Of course I-…" He looked down at the ground, "No, no I didn't…"

"Uh huh, I thought so." I walked to the kitchen and put Jade in her high-chair. Tony went to the cabinets to get Jade some food, then pulled a spoon out of a drawer and walked over to us. He sat down in front of Jade and opened the jar. I sat at the table and watched Tony feed Jade. He was getting better at this 'dad thing', as he calls it.

When he finished feeding Jade, he turned to set the jar on the counter. Jade picked up one of her teething rings and shook it, and then she threw it on the ground. Tony heard it hit the floor and turned back to face Jade.

"What was that?" He asked as he looked around.

"She dropped her teething ring." I told him, pulling my phone out of my pocket. He leant down to get it, and then placed it back in front of Jade.

"There you go, Honey." He said. She picked it up, again, and dropped it once more. Tony retrieved it from the floor, again, and set it back in front of her. This continued about 3 more times and I could tell Tony was getting aggravated. After he set it back on the high chair, again, I set my phone down and looked at him.

"Tony."

"Yeah?.." He asked, annoyed.

"You aren't supposed to pick it up." He looked at me.

"And why is that?"

"It just shows her that she'll get what she wants at a young age. If she throws it, you leave it. You have to teach her that if she's going to throw something, she isn't going to get it back unless she gets it herself." I explained as I watched Jade throw it to the floor, again. Tony turned and looked at the toy, then back at me.

"Da!" Jade squealed and reached for the toy. "Dada!"

"Jadelyn," Tony began, facing Jade. "That's a no. You can't do that." Jade's eyes got big as she looked at Tony and they started filling with tears, then her lip began to quiver. "Oh no." He winced. "Pep?"

"It's fine, Tony." I smiled. "She's going to throw fits all the time. She is just unhappy because she isn't getting her way. You're doing fine."

"Alright…" Jade wailed and we both shifted our eyes to her. "What do I do? Do I pick her up or just let her cry?"

"You can pick her up, but she will calm down soon and forget it." He picked Jade up and bounced her to calm her. I stood and walked to the stairs to go to my office.

"Pepper?" I heard and turned.

"Yes, Mr. Stark?"

"Tony." He corrected, I nodded. "Thank you."

"No problem." I smiled.
