Toni POV

"Don't you think you're moving too fast?" Natasha asked me.

We were sitting in the living room looking at different nursery ideas. I was on my computer, she was looking in a catalog.

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Well." she closed her catalog. "You've only lived here for a few months. You have like three months to go before your due date. Now you tell me you and Steve want to get married? Don't you think you should wait until after the twins are here? Because, how is that going to look? Steve Rogers, Captain America, marrying a pregnant teenage girl?"

"We were just planning something small. No wedding dress, no big venue. Just something simple at the local community center." I said

"Oh." Natasha seemed a bit dumbfounded at this.

"I know that sounds crazy, you know with Dad being a billionaire and all, but we plan to do something bigger after the twins are here. If I feel like it."

Natasha was considering this when Steve walks in.

"I'll leave you two alone." Natasha left the room.

Tony POV

I was working on my suits in the lab when I got a strange phone call.

It was a number that I didn't recognize so I ignored it.

Then it calls again.

It must be important.

I answered it. I was probably Coulson trying to get me on another mission.

"Coulson, I told you, no missions." I said.

"Hey Stark. How ya doing?" A gruff voice said.

"Uh...who is this?" I asked

"That's not important."

I muted the phone. "Trace him." I said to J.A.R.V.I.S.

"You probably know why I'm calling." The voice continued. I looked at my computer, whoever it was definitely was in New York.

"But in case you didn't know, I'll tell you." The voice said. "You have a daughter, Toni right? Well, she killed of one of my best men. And I just can't let that slide. She has taken something that was dear to me. I would return the favor but," he paused. "She was no one. So I will take what is dearest to you. Sound fair? Good. What she has done to my men, I will do worse to her. I hope you're ready." He hung up.

J.A.R.V.I.S wasn't finished tracing him but I knew he was somewhere in New York, somewhere near Queens.

I immediately called Fury and told him about the call. He said it we definitely Frank Castle, the Punisher. He said he would get right on it.

Rhodey had gotten note of the message and had come over to see what he could do.

"And she's pregnant?" He asked.

"Yes, like six months now." I said.

"Tony, I will do everything I can for her safety. I'll call the whole army if I need too."

"I appreciate that buddy. I really do, but I think S.H.I.E.L.D has it under control."

"No, you don't understand how bad this guy is. Fifteen years ago, he killed two of S.H.I.E.L.D's best agents, and that was just because they locked him up in prison. Toni killed one of his men. It just makes me sick to think of what he'd do to her. We need to do everything possible to keep her from harm. More importantly because of her condition."

This really took me by surprise. Rhodey hadn't even met Toni yet and he was already this concerned about her.

We heard someone coming down the stairs. A few seconds later, Toni appeared in the doorway.

"Hey Dad, can I-" she stopped when she saw Rhodey and I talking. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll come back later." She started to walk away.

"No it's OK." I said and she came back in. "I'd like you to meet Colonel James Rhodes. He's a good friend of mine."

"Nice to meet you Colonel." she said politely when they shook hands.

"Toni" Rhodey smiled at her. "Your even prettier than I imagined. Has anyone told you that you're glowing?"

Toni blushed. "Yes, just about everyone."

"Your boyfriend has been talking about you nonstop. And now I can see why."

"Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about." She said turning to me.

"Uh-oh, boyfriend trouble? I'll step out for this one." Rhodey left the room.

"So, is everything alright with you two?" I asked. This was very important since Steve was supposed to be the father of her twins. She'd had already been through a lot and I did not want to add 'Single mom' to the list.

Toni waved that question away. "No no. Everything's cool. It's just that, he seems a bit out of touch."

"What do you mean 'out of touch'?"

"Well just now, I was looking at cellphones on my computer and Steve asked what I was looking at. I told him I was trying to decide to get either the apple iPhone or the BlackBerry curve. And he just gave me this blank stare, like he had no idea what I was talking about. So I explained to him that they were different types of cellphones. It still wasn't clicking so I showed him. And then he said that apples and blackberries were just fruits when he was a kid. And this isn't the first time I had to explain modern technology to him. Like last night, he needed help with the DVD player, and before that, he needed help with the different remotes. How old did you say he was?"

"Well Toni," How could I put this?

"Steve is a little older than I said he was. Actually a lot older."

"How much older?" She asked

"Ummm. What would you do if I told you that he had to be at least ninety years old?"

Her eyes widened.

She shook her head "No, he can't be"

"Yes, he fought in WWII."

"Wow." she said finally. "He ages really well."

Then I explained to her the whole seventy-years-in-a-coma thing.

I know this was a lot for her take in but she had to know.

"Neat" she said. "I always wanted someone older and wiser. Seems like I got exactly what I wanted. Maybe more. I also came to tell you the date of the wedding. We decided to do it next week."

"That's not much time to plan."

"I know. Just want to do it before I get too big." She rested her hand on her stomach.

"I really think you should wait. I mean, just because you're pregnant doesn't automatically mean that you have to get married. If you want to do it when your a little older, than that's fine." I said "But right now, you're just too young."

"Well, I really want the twins to have a father, and with Steve just being my boyfriend, it doesn't really say that. And when the twins are older, what will they think when they find out their parents were never married? I would feel pretty insecure if that were to happen to me." She said

I decided to give in. Even at such a young age, Toni was a caring mother who wanted what was best for her children. If she thought that marrying Steve was the best thing to do, I wasn't going to stop her.

So the next week, Steve and Toni tied the knot.

We met at the community center and they exchanged their vows.

It wasn't much, and there were only a few guest. Me, Pepper, Clint, Natasha, Bruce, and Rhodey.

And everyone was dressed in casual clothes.

I rented out part of a fancy restaurant for the ceremony.

Well it wasn't a really a ceremony since there was so much work to do at home.

After dinner, we went home and got to work. Steve and Toni were moving from their rooms to one big one since the nursery was also going to be in there.

We moved all the furniture in the big bedroom. Assembled the king-sized bed, and then began working on the crib. Clint, Bruce, and Steve pretty much did everything. I just sat back and watched them.

Toni POV

What a day! It was still hard to believed what had happened. I was finally married to the man I loved. But I kept wondering if I had made the right decision.

"So what's it feel like to be married at such a young age?" Pepper asked me.

I fumbled with my ring. It was beautiful. It sparkled in the light of the sunset.

"It doesn't feel real." I answered honestly. "It feels like I just fast-forwarded about five years of my life in a matter of just a few hours."

"That technically happened when you got pregnant." Natasha said. "You're still a kid forced to be an adult."

She was right. First a mom, now a wife. My life had practically taken a speed bump.

"I guess I had to do what's best." I rubbed my stomach. "Their moving!" I called.

Pepper and Natasha rushed over and put both hands on my stomach, giggling when they felt the twins move.
