As soon as things started to feel normal, Jess started to feel more restless. The upcoming birth was giving her anxiety, the sleepless nights were taking a toll on her, and Tony had started to threaten to have FRIDAY wake him up every time she gave up on sleep. She fully believed the threat and had taken to staying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling for hours instead of going to watch Netflix or go to the gym.

The one time she had brought up putting her suit on just to go patrol a small corner of Manhattan, they had gotten into a full blown argument that ended up making Bucky come tearing down the hall into her room. Stepping in between them, putting a hand on Jess' shoulder as she huffed and made to step towards Tony. "I thought you guys were killing each other." he had snapped, though they both knew that really meant he thought she was killing Tony.

"It's getting close." she had growled back, pushing past the men and heading down the hallway, the hormones plus the little sleep making her irritable. But really, who was he to tell her she wasn't allowed to be Spider-woman!? She was not his dog, she could do what she wanted! After rationally thinking about things and petting Mochi (who had let her pet him, batting her hand with a pissed off meow when she stopped), she knew Tony was only trying to look out for her and the baby. What if her water broke while she was out? As much as she hated to think it, he was right.

The men seemed to be tip toeing around her, afraid that she would explode into tears or yelling, though to be fair she normally just glared at them until they walked away. Thor was the only one who seemed to not be afraid of pissing her off. Picking her up when she was grumpy and carrying her like a baby to piss her off, until she would eventually break down laughing. The giant teddy bear of a man was going to make a great dad someday.

"FRI, where's our fearless leader?" Jess asked, feeling extremely tired as she patted Clint on the back after walking out of the kitchen. They had been talking about the difference between fighting with a bow and arrow and a gun, convincing him to teach her when she was feeling a little more rested.

"Captain Rogers is in the gym."

That made Jess smirk as she stood in the elevator, snickering. Tony would love to know that even the AI considered Steve the leader, though he insisted they shared the title. "No, FRIDAY. Tony."

"Boss is in his lab with Peter."

Jess hesitated; she had never been in his lab. "Am I allowed to go in the lab?"

"You have access to all the shared spaces, Peter's room, and boss' rooms, including his labs Miss Drew."

Huh... good to know. Jess nodded, though she knew the AI system couldn't see her. "Okay... I guess take me to the lab, please."

When she made it to the lab, Jess stepped back as the doors took a moment to open, sliding apart so she could walk through. The scene in front of her almost brought tears to her eyes, though she would've just lied and said it was the hormones since that seemed to be a valid excuse nowadays.

Tony and Peter were both hovering over the workbench, Tony's arm slung casually over the boy's shoulders as Peter talked excitedly and showed the older man his plans for a new suit. Of course, his spidey sense had him looking up immediately, grinning and waving at Jess. "Miss Dr- I mean, Jess!" Tony had looked up nonchalantly and threw a smile at her that she couldn't help but return.

"Hey kid. How are my boys doing?" Jess grunted as she made her way to them doing what she thought was more waddle and less walk now. She swatted Peter's hand away as he put a hand on her elbow as if to steady her as she went to sit down. "I'm pregnant, not invalid." she scolded, leaning into Tony a bit as he kissed the top of her head.

"Mr. Stark and I are going over the design for your new suit- wow! I mean, it's just- it's crazy! Sure, the old one had gliders already but this one can glide twice the distance. There's a new design he put in my suit that we added to your's, and you have an AI and-"

"Slow down, Pete. Wait, my suit?" Jess looked between him and Tony who was chuckling and looking at the boy like a proud father.

"Yeah, well, it was sort of the kid's idea. And you don't have an AI and well, all the coolest Avengers have a personal AI, right kiddo?" Tony clamped a hand on the teen's shoulder who smiled sheepishly and shrugged, looking away.

"Well you know, I just thought... yeah, it was kinda my idea." Peter puffed his chest out, laughing as Tony rolled his eyes and cuffed him in the back of the head.

"Alright, alright. Let me see this new suit you speak of." The woman pulled herself up, ignoring the fact that Peter had helped her out. Looking at the diagrams, she was impressed. "Well damn, kid. You're going to miss us when you're ruling over MIT, right?" Jess smiled weakly, feeling a little dizzy but ignoring it as she pulled Peter into her side to hug him.

They both looked up as the floor parted and a glass cylinder came up from the hole, a suit in it that made her mouth gape. It was gorgeous... mouth still open a bit in awe, Jess stepped forward, tripping a bit but not noticing. It was like her red and black suit, but better. The crackles running throughout it were yellow instead of black with the rest of the suit being red. It looked so... supeheroish.

Jess raised her hand up, heart racing and feeling light headed still, looking back to make sure she had the go ahead from Tony. He nodded and she bit her lip, unable to hide the excitement she was feeling. She reached in and touched the suit, "So, this is what millions of dollars feels like..." Jess whispered, not sure why she was whispering as she closed her eyes for a moment.

It was so much more than just a suit. It meant Tony was respecting her choice to continue being Spider-woman after the baby was born.

"Put the mask on! You have to name your AI!" Peter looked just as excited as she did which made her grin.

Jess grabbed the mask and put it over her head, gasping as the digital screen popped up. It was so much more advanced than her HYDRA suit, and even her old suit from Tony didn't have an AI. "Welcome, Jess. I am your AI system."

Jess looked at all the digital read outs, seeing one that said her heart rate in red and was flashing a bit. "I don't know what to name her... maybe TUESDAY?" she teased, seeing Tony roll his eyes playfully. "It can stand for Tony Usually Eats Shawarma on Days Adjourning in Y. But really, this is so... cool." Jess settled on a word that Peter threw around a lot. "I mean, I know I was in your suit, muffin-" Peter couldn't help but choke back a laugh at the nickname, "but I was a little... preoccupied..." The world seemed to slow down as she paused where she was, hanging onto the work bench suddenly with a shaky hand, swallowing hard.

Tony and Peter stood up quickly, the former frowning and starting around the bench. "Drew... what's wrong?"

Jess managed to get her hand up to the mask in time to push it past her mouth, only barely getting to the trashcan before throwing up violently. She was caught as she fell to her knees by Peter wrapping an arm around her, Tony finally reaching them with worry on his face. "Jess! FRIDAY pull up her stats." Tony snapped.

"Miss Drew does not have her watch on, sir. However, TUESDAY may have been able to scan her."

Tony didn't bother to mention that Jess had been kidding and the new AI wasn't TUESDAY, instead asking FRIDAY to download what Jess' mask had picked up. "Her heart rate is 115, her normal resting BPM is 83. Her temperature is within an acceptable range. Those are the only vitals that could be extracted from TUESDAY since Miss Drew doesn't have the whole suit on."

Tony took the mask off, seeing the sweat on her brow though according to FRIDAY, she wasn't feverish. "FRIDAY, find Banner and Dr. Cho and tell them to meet me in the medbay STAT. Tell them it's Jess."

Tony reached down to pick her up but Peter shook his head. Of course, his first instinct was to think he was just a teenager and couldn't carry her. "I've got her, Mr. Stark. Enhanced strength and all that." The older man hesitated for just a moment before nodding tightly and putting a hand on Peter's shoulder to direct him towards the elevator.

"Stark..." Jess groaned, trying to squirm free. "Don't like..."

"I know, you don't like being carried. But just let us take care of you, it's going to be okay."

"You know... I... I like our kid... can we... Stark... can we keep him?" the woman mumbled, causing Peter to blush and Tony to be more worried about the situation. He didn't respond for a moment but ran a hand through her hair as she said his name again.

"As much as I'd like to say yes, we can't keep him, Drew. Both because he's not a pet, and he has a home." All he could think of was the fact that she was almost due with their baby and something was wrong.

"Oh... well.. I love him." Tony's heart clenched, really afraid that something was seriously wrong since he had never heard her say those words to anyone but him. And even with him, it was rare. He knew she loved him, but didn't think she would admit it out loud so easily if she knew Peter was still there. And carrying her.

"I... I know you do, babe. Try to stay awake for us, we're almost to the Medbay."

She hummed a response that he took to mean she would, though her eyes stayed closed.

"You know I love her, too... right Mr. Stark?" Peter's voice was small, worried, as he looked down at the woman in his arms. He had Aunt May, she was great. She'd always been like a mother to him. But now, now he had Mr. Stark and Jess. He felt pretty lucky to have so many great people in his life.

"I had a hunch.." Tony put an arm around Peter in a surprisingly tender half embrace. "I know she's delirious, but she means it. We both love you. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have her. It's because of you that I have a family. I have a great kid, almost two great kids. And a strong woman. I have everything I need thanks to you." He knew he didn't express his feelings very often to the boy, but just like he told Peter, he didn't want to be like his father. He wanted to be better.

Not that he was really the boy's father... Tony pushed the thought away.

Peter seemed overwhelmed with emotions and kept quiet for an amount of time that Tony was sure had to be a record. Hurrying into the Medbay, Peter laid Jess on the gurney as Tony tried to explain as best as he could what happened. Peter hovered near her side, his normally cheerful face solemn.

"It could be a number of things, we'll need to do a few tests. She didn't mention anything being wrong lately?" Dr. Cho asked, blood pressure cuff already on Jess' arm along with a pulse oximeter to get some readings.

They all looked to Tony who raced through his memory bank and came up short, shaking his head. "She hasn't been sleeping great, but the last few days have been better. We gave her a Starkwatch to track her-"

"Oh... you mean like this one?" Peter interrupted with a smile, tilting his head and raising his arm, showing off the black, sleek watch on his wrist.

Tony's hands went up to his mouth in almost a prayer position, fingertips almost touching his nose as he cleared his throat. Don't be mad... Tony reminded himself, knowing it wasn't the kid's fault. "... Underoos... why do you have Jess' Starkwatch?"

The boy's face changed almost comically as he realized what was happening, looking so guilty as he scuffed his shoe on the floor. "She asked if I could hold it for her a few days, said it was a new design and wanted to get some data... she did it so FRIDAY wouldn't turn her in, didn't she?"

Tony sighed, closing his eyes with his fingers pressed to his temple. "Why do you want me to die young, Drew?" he whined as he looked down at the sleeping woman with a scowl. He tried not to be angry, knowing it wouldn't change anything now and trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. "We'll talk about this later." he warned, wagging a finger sternly towards Jess before bringing his gaze back up. Bruce was poking her finger with a lancet while Dr. Cho started an IV.

Holding a small device in his hands, Bruce's face seemed to change from worry to a little less worried as he put a finger to his mouth like he was thinking. "FRIDAY, what has Jess had to eat today?"

"To the best of my knowledge, the last time Miss Drew was eating in the kitchen was this time yesterday. She didn't open the fridge or eat while she was in the kitchen with Mr. Barton, Dr. Banner. Would you like me to ask Mr. Barton just to make sure?"

"No, that's okay, thank you." Bruce showed the reading to Dr. Cho who's eyes widened as she finished taping the IV port down and went to a cabinet. "She should be fine, her blood sugar is dangerously low."

"With how high her metabolism is and being pregnant, her body was probably trying to even out her not having any food, probably happened too quickly. That and the sleep, not a great combination. But the good news is, we caught it. She should be just fine but we're going to keep her overnight to be sure. She needs to be eating more regularly. Probably at least five 'ordinary' sized meals. With some snacks in between." Dr. Cho explained as she gave the woman an insulin shot to the right calculation for her mutation.

"Thanks, docs. I'll make sure to tweak her Starkwatch to remind her if I have to."

Once they were done getting her what she needed, Peter sat on one side of her while Tony sat on the other.

"... Mr. Stark.. I'm... I didn't... I wouldn't have taken it if I knew."

Tony smiled grimly at him, shaking his head. "It's not your fault, kiddo. That's what I get for not installing her AI on it." Which would now be uploaded to it and definitely have override options for him so FRIDAY could get the stats. "Wanna help me add TUESDAY and a calorie intake checker on the watch once she's awake?"

That had Peter perking up and nodding, still holding Jess' hand as he started giving more ideas to the man. Tony smiled as he listened, nodding when he thought it was right and commenting every now and then.

When she finally woke up, she felt so groggy and disorientated. The dizziness was gone, though. She felt a little more normal.

"Welcome back to the land of the people who listen, Drew. A place that you are going to have to start becoming more familiar with."

Jess groaned and opened her eyes, looking to her left and seeing Tony but feeling someone holding her right hand. Her eyes darted to the form that was sitting legs over the arms of the chair, still managing to hold her hand. "That can't be comfortable." Jess commented, yawning a little as she noticed Peter didn't have the watch on and wincing visibly as his words made sense. "Oh, no..."

"You know what else isn't comfortable? Having a heart attack when your heavily pregnant girlfriend almost passes out and is throwing up in your lab because she made a kid a scapegoat."

Jess looked at Tony who was looking at her, not seeming mad, but looking exhausted. "Why did you do it?"

She took a moment to respond, knowing the reason sounded weak. "After you threatened to make FRIDAY wake you up every time I was awake, I felt bad.. like a burden. All you've done it seems, especially since I got back, was accommodate for me or try to make me feel okay. I didn't want to take away your sleep, too. So... I made Pete wear it so you'd think I was sleeping, and I've just been locking myself in my room when I do try to sleep." She did feel bad about lying, but she felt so needy lately. "What happened?"

"Your blood sugar was low, that's what happened. Jess, you already have a high metabolism and now you're pregnant. So, it's like you're eating for three or four. FRIDAY said you didn't eat anything today, is something wrong?"

Jess took her free hand, being careful not to disturb the IV, and let her hand rest over Tony's. "Stark, nothing is wrong... everything has been as good as I could hope for with everything that's happened. I am sleeping more, I promise. I just... when the baby comes... I know this is asking a lot since I could have an episode but... I think we should share a room. That way, if I have an episode, you can take her and keep her safe while I cool down. Less time wasted that way. So, you know, if you said yes, you may be having to be up with her a lot and getting less sleep... so I... yeah. I didn't want you losing sleep now." Once she started, the rest poured out of her mouth before she could stop, nervous to voice what she had been thinking about the last few weeks.

Tony had a poker face on as he looked at her which made her keep her face set as well, feeling apprehensive about her admittance. Until his lips turned into a smirk and he leaned forward to kiss the corner of her mouth, letting his nose rub against her's. "Are you asking to move in with me?" Tony mocked gently, raising his hand to caress the side of her face, surprised when she didn't flinch at all.

"I... we already live together... and we're having a baby so it's not a big deal. Don't make it a big deal." Jess huffed, a slight red forming over her cheeks as she leaned into his hand.

"For what it's worth, I don't think you'd hurt our baby- her, did you say?"

"Just a feeling... not sure." Jess smiled at him bashfully, showing a vulnerable side that to this day only Tony and Peter had managed to see.

"I don't think you'd hurt her even if you did have an episode... but I agree. I think we should share the same room. Not just for that reason, mostly just because I love you and want to fall asleep next to you every night and wake up next to you." When he said things like that, Jess was reminded yet again how amazing Tony was and how lucky she was to be one of the few who got to see the whole him.

"I want to, too... and I love you. A lot."

"Yeah? How much?" He teased her, his hand at the back of her head, massaging the back of her skull down to her neck.

"Mmmm... at least 3000... The kid is at a 6000." Jess whispered with a groan, wishing they could stay in that moment longer.

"3000, huh? Okay. That's at least a start." Tony kissed her lips, feeling whole again as he shared the sweet moment with his girlfriend, neither of them noticing that the Spider kid was now smiling widely as he kept his eyes shut, content to stay with two of the people that made him feel complete.
