So You're the One

Disclaimer in Chapter One.

A.N- I've enjoyed the fluff of the last several chapters, but sadly the fluff is at the end. This is the last fluffy chapter and then we get into the angst and action.

Chapter Thirty-Four

Three Months later

"Tell me we're done with weddings for a while." Skye joked to Tony as she collapsed on their bed after Jemma and Bruce's reception. She had been the Matron of Honor, which meant she'd been on her feet a good portion of the evening and she was now exhausted. But she was really happy for her friends.

Jemma had made a beautiful bride and she'd been beaming and it had been wonderful to see Bruce so happy.

"Well, we might all have to make a trip to Asgard in the future now that Thor has gotten Jane to say yes," he pointed out, "but I understand that there is a lot of customs to observe so it could be a while."

"Hopefully not too long," Skye pointed out, "since I really don't want to give birth on Asgard."

She was now five months pregnant and definitely beginning to show. In fact, she knew her pregnancy was going to be public knowledge if any pictures from Jemma and Bruce's wedding leaked.

Not that it really mattered, there was already lots of speculation. She hadn't made many public appearances in the last few months and none as Quake. The superhero blogs had two theories for her disappearance. All of them agreed that Quake and Skye Stark had to be one in the same and some decided that once she had lured Iron Man to the alter she had quit the superhero gig, since she'd obviously only been doing it to get his attention. Skye had had some nasty words to say about those bloggers, much to the amusement of the women of the Tower.

However as awful as those accusations were, Skye had to admit that she almost preferred them to the rest of the blogs that were much more accurate in their assessment about what had happened to Quake and were predicting that soon there would be an Avengers baby. She knew she couldn't hide her pregnancy forever, but at the same time the longer they kept it under wraps, the more secure she felt.

"I think we all want to avoid that," Tony agreed, placing a hand on her belly bump. "Personally, I still think a hospital birth sounds like the best idea."

"The Avengers Tower has a medical wing and home births are natural and normal anyway," Skye told him, "Jemma has all the equipment I need and it is much safer for me to have the baby here."

She and Tony had been going back on forth for this for months, but Skye was adamant that she didn't to risk a hospital birth. Not when her crazy father was still out there, plus other threats. Not only, was the Tower safer for her, but this way she didn't want to put other lives at risk.

"You have to admit, six weddings in less than six months is impressive." Skye pointed out, going back to the original subject since her birth plan tended to lead to an argument and she didn't want to fight with Tony tonight. "There's definitely something in the air around here."

"I'm not sure elopements count as weddings." Tony said grumpily. "Rhodey didn't even let me throw him a bachelor party."

"At least we were there," Skye pointed out, "I think Coulson's still pissed that May only told him after the fact."

May and Rhodey had surprised everyone by eloping a month or so earlier. They had decided they didn't want any fuss and so they snuck off quietly to get married, with only Tony and Skye as witnesses. Mostly, because Skye was pretty sure that Rhodey hadn't been able to imagine getting married without Tony there, though she'd been honoured to stand up for May.

"Plus Sharon and Steve had two ceremonies," Skye pointed out, "That balances it out."

There had been the small, public wedding celebrating the marriage of Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter and then the even smaller and very private commitment ceremony where Steve, Sharon and Bucky trothed their commitment to each other.

Coulson and Audrey had also made it to the alter recently. Their's had also been small, because Coulson was still legally dead, but very sweet. Skye had been honoured when Audrey had asked her to stand up as her Matron of Honor, because of how much Skye meant to Phil. Skye and Audrey had formed their own bond in the last several months and often ganged up on Coulson. For his own good, of course.

"One of these days Fitz is actually to going to realize he should propose to Darcy." Tony pointed out. "They're pretty much the only couple left." Other than Clint and Natasha and Hunter and Bobbi and neither couple had any intention of getting married. Or re-married in the case of Hunter and Bobbi.

"She doesn't want to get married until after Jane does." Skye told him with a grin. "She says that once that happens, she'll start prodding Fitz in that direction. Fitz can barely remember to feed himself when he gets working on a problem, I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect him to realize he should propose to his girlfriend."

Tony just laughed and then he looked at Skye. "Do you need help out of that dress?"

"Please." Skye told him, standing up.

Tony stood up as well and unzipped her dress and then gently helped her out of it, enclosing her in his arms as the dress fell to the floor.

"One of us is over-dressed." Skye teased, turning in the circle of Tony's arms and helping him take his tuxedo jacket off. Her fingers then found the buttons of his dress shirt and went to work.

"That's better." She said a minute later, her hands resting on his bare chest.

"I'm glad you approve." Tony told her with a grin.

Skye just smiled, taking in the sight of him. They had been married for three months and yet sometimes she couldn't believe it was real. Tony Stark was her husband. She had once fantasized about the idea of Iron Man. The billionaire playboy turned superhero and she'd always known that he was handsome, but the fantasy didn't hold a candle to the reality. Not only was he incredibly sexy and an amazing lover, he was also the best partner she could ask for.

The world painted Tony as brilliant, arrogant, reckless and charming and he was all of those things and those qualities often drove Skye crazy. But he was also kind, compassionate, generous and gentle and those qualities made her fall deeper in love with him every day.
