Hey guys, here's chapter fourteen. Enjoy, and don't forget to review and follow for more updates!
Carol exited the bathroom, feeling much better. After all, it was called morning sickness for a reason.
"How are you feeling honey?" Peter said.
"Much better," Carol responded. She quickly flipped out her phone and texted Jessica.
"Two lines." In just half a minute she got a text back.
"That's a good thing right?" Jess said.
"Of course. I'm going to be a mom Jess!"Carol texted. Jess responded with a string of happy face emojis.
"Anything you want to do tonight?" Peter said.
"Well, I feel absolutely amazing considering I threw up an hour ago, so whatever you want to do is fine," she said. Peter smiled.
"Alright, I'll order food from your favorite Chinese place. What's it called, General Chu's or something?"
"Yeah, something like that," Carol said.
"Do you want to watch something?" Peter said. Carol responded with flicking on some random movie.
"What's that?" She said.
"It's called Now You See Me. It's about magicians," she said.
"Sounds good enough to me," Peter said. They both watched the movie, slurping on Chinese food. As the end was near, Carol set down her dish. The credits rolled as she turned to her fiancé.
"Hey Peter, I put more food in the oven earlier. Can you go get it?" She said. "Sure," He said. Peter opened the oven door and frowned. "Carol, why is there bread in the oven?"
"It's my oven, and that's a bun," she said.
"Then why is there a bun in your- your oven?" Peter's eyes widened and a silly grin flew to his face.
"You're- you're pregnant?" He whispered. Tears spilled out of Carol's eyes, and they were happy tears.
"Yes," She said. "I'm pregnant Peter. You're going to be a father." Peter hugged her and kissed her soundly on the lips.
"How long have you known?" He said. Carol smirked, sensing a joke coming.
"A month or so," she sang.
"Eliza, you should have told me," Peter sang right back.
"I wrote to the general a month ago. I begged him to send you home." Carol laughed and so did Peter. "Actually, I figured out this afternoon. Jess caught me barfing and suggested I might be pregnant, and then I took the test and boom," she said.
"I'm glad you told me early," he said. "Can I- can I tell May?" He said.
"Of course! This is your baby too," she said. Peter grinned helplessly as he watched his beautiful fiancé. Somehow the world was coming around. He kissed her again.
"I need to book an OBGYN appointment," he said.
"Don't worry about that now Peter," She said. "I'm only five weeks."
"Do you know when it was conceived?" He said.
"Yup. The night we moved in," she said.
"Oh. Yeah, I remember that night," he said. Carol smacked him lightly in the chest and went to bed smiling. He followed her and crawled into bed. The two of them lay there, curled up contentedly sleeping.
Carol yawned and looked over to the table. The card was beeping. Again.
"Come on! Really?" Peter said.
"Peter, before you say anything I'm going. I won't fight unless the situation gets dire," she said.
"Alright," Peter said. They two flew over to the Avengers HQ.
"Where's the fight?" He said.
"Meeting," Sam grunted. Carol groaned and immediately shoved her head into a trash can.
"It's ok," Peter said. "What happened, I thought you were better?"
"It's called morning sickness for a rea-" Carol clamped her hand over her mouth and then started throwing up again.
"Morning sickness?" Sam said. "What's morning sickness?"
"When you, uh, throw up in the morning," he said. Sam narrowed his eyes.
"You two got a secret," he said.
"What! No, nope!" Peter said. Carol was still heaving into a trash can.
"I've already uncovered enough about you two," he said with a smirk. Peter breathed a sigh of relief as Sam walked away.
"Avengers, meeting time!" Pepper said. Carol stumbled over to the table, slumping down in the chair.
"Alright, first order of business, we have to organize the-" She was interrupted by a gross splattering sound.
"Don't mind me," Carol said. "Go on, finish your-" retch"presentation." Peter was rubbing small circles into Carol's back and whispering in her ear.
"I'm thinking of baby names. Maybe Annie, or what about Elizabeth? Then she could be Liza or Lizzie or Beth. Whatever she wanted. Now, if it's a boy, I can't help but think Benjamin might be nice. What about Alex? That one would work for either too." All of this was said at the lowest whisper so no one else could hear it. Carol smiled. She turned and made to kiss Peter.
"Yeah, something's telling me I shouldn't kiss you right after I vomited," she said.
"That might be nice," he said before kissing her on the neck.
"Carol, are you ok?" Pepper asked.
"Yup. Just dandy. Please, continue," she managed to make out before doubling over again. Pepper continued, as to Carol's request.
"Alright, we need to control our meetings. I'm thinking of installing a tracking address device in the IDs. That way if you are more than a few miles away it won't notify you unless I say so. Is that ok with everyone?" They all nodded in assent.
"Peter, I may need your help on that one," he said.
"Sure, well, later, ok?" He said motioning to Carol, who was still retching horribly. She emerged, tossing the trash can aside.
"Ok, I'm fine, completely fi- nope nope nope!" She said. Peter managed to grab the trash can and place it under Carol. She hurled into the bucket.
"I think I'll just keep this here," said Carol. Pepper sighed.
"Carol, you should go home," she said.
"Peter, should we just spill?" She said. "You know how it goes here. Secrets do not do well," she said. Peter sighed.
"What's happening?" Shuri said.
"Are you ok? Are you dying?" Scott said.
"No," Peter said laughing.
"What!" The whole room said.
"I'm pregnant," said Carol. She then barfed into the trash can again.
"Ugh. Remind me to find morning sickness and beat it's ass," she groaned.
"Oh my god, that's amazing!" Pepper said. "I'm so happy for you!" The Avenger clustered around the soon to be parents with congratulations and well wishes.
Hope you liked this chapter! Just a warning- there's not going to be to much more chapters to this story. I'm thinking of ending it right after the wedding and the birth.
