Hello everyone

I just wanted to tell you that this is my first ever fic so I am trying to improve according to the reviews I get, but right now I am really confused what to do .

Someone commented that there is no way to differentiate what is being said ( the dialogues) and the rest of the text, so for clarification, I was writing all the dialogues using capslock. But, someone commented that i should stop using the caps lock so much and that it is irritating to read .So in this chapter, I have tried something diff and everything which is being said is written in italics

Hope you enjoy the chapter

It has been a week since Harry started living with tony they have grown close to each other, Tony found out about Harry's nightmares and told Jarvis to inform him whenever harry has one, tony finally understood the level of damage done to harry and thought that a nanny won't be able to take care of harry so he is going to stay with his son for as long as he needs him . he has yet to inform Harry about his relationship with Pepper, he is slightly worried about his reaction but harry and pepper seems to be getting together quite well, but harry has yet to open up to them. The child has started talking but is still scared in giving his opinion about something and has never asked for anything, not even food when he is hungry.Tony thought that an outing may encourage Harry to start talking a bit,so he planned to take Harry for shopping today.

Tony decided to take harry for shopping today as Harry doesn't have proper clothes hell the child doesn't have any clothes when Tony brought him home Harry was wearing Dudley's clothes . Tony has already booked the mall for today so that no one can disturb them he is not planning to announce Harry to the world anytime soon .he has thought that due to him being iron man he is always at a risk of attack and if people found out about Harry, then his life will get in danger too.

They reached the mall and then went directly to the kid's section they thought that harry will help choose clothes and will slightly open up but alas no such luck Harry is just walking with them saying nothing, finally Tony decided that he will let harry choose the toys and he is going to choose the clothes, in the end irrespective of Peppers pleas and threats Tony bought clothes in every colour and styles available in Harry's size he even bought a mini tux for Harry and planned on duplicating some of his own wardrobe in harry' size.

After buying the clothes they went to the toys section and he told harry to choose anything he likes but when harry hasn't moved an inch from his side to choose toys Tony told him that if Harry is not going to choose something then Tony will buy whatever Toys he likes and Harry has to play with them, finally, Harry seemed to relax and in the end, he chose 3 soft toys -a black dog a wolf and a stag, tony thought it to be a bit weird but said nothing as Harry finally is smiling and looking happy.

when they reached the tower back Harry went straight to his room and put the toys in his bed but kept the stag with him.it was lunchtime and finally, Harry came to have lunch with his new toy. while eating tony asked harry what he is going to name his toys to which Harry replied-

This is prongs ,the dog is padfoot and the wolf is moony"

Tony suppressed a laugh at the names but hey what can you the child has given very curious names to the toys. After lunch, Tony picked harry up and then went to his room and tucked Harry in the bed and told him to sleep as Harry looked really tired by then.

PAGE BREAK

A month has passed since harry' s arrival in tony' s life, finally harry has started to open up and has now started to ask for things like pee break and food, Tony is happy that his son is finaly improving. Tony also found out that Harry is really smart for a four-year-old he can do basic calculations and can read a book properly and planned to look for schools for harry, he also observed some weird things about harry at first he thought that it's just his imagination but now he knew that there is something about harry which he is not getting for example, once he saw harry watching tv and his stag was nowhere in sight but after just a few seconds when he looked at Harry again, the stag was in Harry's arms, to confirm his suspicions Tony checked the camera footage and was shocked to see that the toy appeared out of thin air in harry 's hand he checked and rechecked the footage but found nothing different, after that he started observing harry and to his shock, he found that Harry can call his things from different places and they will come in his hands in a few moments time just like Magic.

Tony finally accepted that his son has some kind of powers and he planned to help harry learn them. Tony also found out that Harry has a fear of loud voices and guessed it to be due to his relative's constant shouting. The Dursleys, those monsters has just gotten a few years imprisonement , Tony was furious when he got to know this but then he made new plans for them, now they are going to wish that they went to prison for a longer time .

Due to the improvement in Harry's condition, Tony has decided to finally start working again and is now looking at a list of nannies to hire for harry he also has a list of a few tutors to teach harry basic subjects...

"No ..not her ..no she has a history of slapping a child what if she hit Harry,no ahhhhhh.none of them is good enough

forget it I will tell pepper what I need in a nanny and she will be able to find one for sure" muttered Tony.

Deciding that finding a nanny is not his area of expertise he put his stark pad down and went to play with harry. it is long after lunchtime Harry might be tired.

He silently opened harry' s door and peeked inside Harry is sitting on the floor and playing with the car tony bought for him,he walked to where Harry is sitting making a bit of noise so that he won't startle Harry . Hearing the sound of footsteps Harry turned around and saw his daddy coming he stood up and ran to his daddy and hugged him, he was never allowed to hug before so now he always welcomes his dad by hugging. Tony then picked harry up and asked him whether he can play with him.

Harry happily approved and they both sat down on the floor and started playing with the car, after that they played with the action figures and both fell asleep on the floor.

when pepper arrived to ask Tony whether he has chosen a nanny or forgotten about it she found both of them lying on the floor curled around each other sleeping peacefully, pepper took some pictures before putting a blanket over them and went back to do some more work.

when tony woke up he quietly got up and pulled Harry in his arms and put him on the bed careful not to wake him up he silently left the room and reached the kitchen area to find pepper making some coffee he hugged her from behind and she turned around in his arms Tony leaned his head down to bring her in a kiss when suddenly they heard footsteps behind them, Tony turned around and saw Harry looking with wide eyes at them Tony was so shocked that he stood there speechless. He has no idea how harry is going to react now he turned towards Pepper with wide pleading eyes , Pepper sighed and then went to harry she bent down to explain all this to Harry when suddenly Harry asked her

"Do you love my dad? i once heard aunt Petunia tell dudley that two people kiss when they are in love ."

Tony and Pepper were both shocked with this turn of the conversation, finally, pepper replied

"YES ...Harry i ...love Tony and i am sorry you saw us kissing ".

FInally Tony got the courage to speak up why was he so afraid to accept his relationship with pepper in front of a 4-year-old

"harry sorry for not telling you this before but we both really love each other and are together. you can tell me if you don't like it"

said Tony

Harry's expression changed to a small smile then the smile widened and he spoke up

"ok ...I love you both and you love each other so we all love one another like a family we are just like a family. dad, Are you going to marry Pepper ?"

this surprised both tony and pepper and they both got weirded out by this, telling the truth Tony really loves pepper but he has not thought about getting married yet so is a bit flustered right now, he went out of the kitchen mumbling something about suddenly needing the bathroom.

Pepper was left to answer harry's question so she finally collected herself as best as she could and explained to harry that they may get married in the future but right now they want to stay as they are cause she and dad have a lot of work to do and don't have time to get married. Changing the subject she then asked Harry whether he is hungry or not to which Harry's stomach grumbled in response, Pepper went to the kitchen to bring some fruits for harry to eat meanwhile Harry went to the living room and started watching Tom and Jerry on the tv.

After sometime Tony came back to the living room and seeing that Harry is watching cartoon went to talk to pepper about the nanny issue he is facing, he informed her that he needs someone who has combat training and can protect harry from any threat, is good with kids and has to undergo a complete background check and will also have to sign an NDA. Pepper then went back to work and to find a nanny and Tony went to make a coffee for himself.

After that incident Harry started to open up to pepper, he finally started talking to her without looking at Tony every 5 seconds, Tony finally understood that his worries were for nothing when it came to harry knowing about his and pepper's relationship. Tony also told harry about his decision to start working again, harry's reaction was as expected he started crying saying that he does not want his daddy to leave him, Tony tried to console him by saying that he is not going anywhere he will be in the same building and if Harry really needed him he can come back. After crying for a while, Harry felt asleep on tony's shoulder,Tony went to put Harry in bed after putting Harry in bed Tony went to Pepper to ask for her help, who unfortunately for Tony informed him that harry is used to Tony always being there and is going to take a while to adapt to Tony going away and is surely going to cry for a few days, which Tony can't even imagine, he can't see his baby boy crying, he can never see tears in those emerald eyes.
