*I don't own anything*
Steve stood there shocked until he had finished processing. Pepper stood there with tears falling down her face. He walked over to Pepper and hugged her.
"Congratulations Pepper!"
"Thanks," Pepper said nervously.
"Does Tony kn- I mean did he know?" Steve asked, realizing what he almost said.
"No. I didn't tell him because I didn't want him worrying about me while on the mission."
"I see. Well Pepper, it's late. Clint, Thor and I will be staying with Tony. He'll need to talk to you in the morning. It hurts, but seeing you might help his memory."
Pepper just nodded.
"Let me take you back inside ok? You need your sleep."
Pepper smiled a little and started walking inside. When she got to her room, she was surprised to see Natasha, Jane and Pepper there in their pyjamas.
"What are you doing here?" Pepper said confused.
They all hugged her.
"We couldn't leave you alone Pepper. You need us," Jane said.
Pepper smiled. Her heart hurt, but she kept her hope for tomorrow and went to bed, happy that she wasn't alone.
The next morning Pepper slept in till 8 a.m. confusing her friends. It was a late night but Pepper almost never slept in. She was always up at 6 a.m.
"Pepper are you ok?" Darcy asked worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine," Pepper responded.
"She's not being honest," Natasha said.
"That's what I get for having an assassin for a best friend," Pepper said laughing.
"So Pepper what is it?" Jane asked.
"You're going to be aunts," Pepper said smiling. "But don't say anything to anyone, especially Tony. I want to tell him when the time is right."
They all nodded.
"Who are you, and why are you at a doctor's appointment with me?" Tony said with a smirk.
Pepper held back her emotions. "I'm your wife, Mrs. Stark, and I'm going with you because you need me here," she said.
"I have a wife?" Tony said looking down at his ring.
Before Pepper could react the doctor came in.
"Hello I'm Dr. Hartley. Today we will be giving Mr. Stark an M.R.I to see the extent of his amnesia. Mrs. Stark, if you could wait here that would be great. Once the procedure is done I will come and get you to discuss the results. Alright?" She said confidently.
"Sounds good," Pepper said. "Tony. Behave."
Tony smirked and followed the doctor. "After this you (who ever you are), are taking me to get a cheeseburger after this.
Pepper couldn't help but smile. Her husband was gone, but his personality wasn't. He was arrogant, but she loved him anyways. "This wait is going to take forever (both waiting for his memory and the m.r.i," Pepper thought to herself.
The doctor came back in.
"Mrs. Stark? Follow me please," Dr. Hartley called.
Pepper went in and sat down where Tony was.
"So, how is he?" Pepper asked
"I have bad news. It looks like his memory loss is long term. He's lucky to be alive. The best thing for him is for things to continue on the way that they did before the accident. It's likely that his memory will come back in little pieces."
Pepper broken down inside.
"Well, I feel Great. Pepper, what is on the schedule for today exactly?" Tony asked.
"Today is diner at the tower, and family movie night."
"That would be great for Tony."
"Thank you," Pepper responded as they walked out of the office.
Tony stopped to look at her.
"What?" she asked confused.
"What movie are we watching tonight?"
"I don't know. It is Clint's turn to choose."
"Do I like his taste in movies?"
"Come'on Tony. It's time to go home," Pepper said.
"Pizza's here," Natasha said while putting it on the table.
All of the guys were confused when Pepper took two pieces instead of one. Bruce was about to speak when Natasha gave him a look and he held back his comment.
"So what movie are we watching Clint?" Natasha asked.
"We are watching "The Vow"."
"Are you sure that's appropriate?" Natasha said getting angry.
"It's fine," Pepper said. "Press play."
Natasha kept looking from the screen to Pepper to see if she was ok. Everyone else was enjoying the film.
At the end of the movie, Thor was crying.
"Are you ok?" Jane asked while handing him a tissue.
"It's just so sad, what happened to him and his Lady."
Pepper got up and walked away with Tony following her.
"Are you ok?"
"No Tony I'm not ok."
"Why not?" Tony asked worriedly.
"BECAUSE I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER ME."
"YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WISH I COULD BE THE GUY YOU MARRIED. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE THAT GUY THAT YOU KNEW WAS A LUCKY MAN," he said.
Realizing what he had said, he went to the lab.
Pepper turned to her friends with tears running down her cheeks. "I...umm... need to go to bed." With that, she left.
"I wish we could do something," Jane said.
"Me too," Darcy said, resting her head on Steve's shoulder.
"There is," Nat said, confusing everyone.
"What would that be?" Steve asked.
"I'll explain later. Clint, I need you to go get Pepper and bring her down to the lab. If she won't come, convince her. Tell her it's important. I'll meet you there."
Nat left and ran to her room. Without questioning it, Clint went to go find Pepper.
