The girls were eating when Tony knocked on her door. When she opened the door she wasn't expecting Tony to have a box of cake or that he brought a kid along with him," Who the hell is he?" Maria asked as she looked at the boy who took more interest in his shoes than looking at Maria.
"This is Pete and we brought cake," Tony said showing her the box of cake as if she missed it,
"Because I need 2 toddlers hyped up on sugar." Maria stepped out of the way to allow them in," Did you bring it?"
"Pete show her the case," Tony instructed Peter who held up the cases he didn't really know why he was here just that Mr. Stark said they were visiting a friend.
"Where are the tiny terrors?" Tony asked
"In the living room." After Maria said that Stark was long gone leaving her and Peter alone," Are you hungry?" Maria said, turning to Peter," Huh? Um... yes." Peter said he was nervous this lady looked serious and his Aunt May told him never to mess with serious women and he definitely didn't want to mess with her.
"Want a PB&J?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Maria or Hill kid."
"Okay, my name is Peter by the way."
"Good to know. You can put the cases down." Maria said pointing to the dining table that she never uses only when she has company and that was rare," Fruit?" Maria asked," I'll take some."
"You don't have to stand here Peter, you can go in the living room, I'll bring the plate." Peter nods before he disappears into the living room. When she was finished Maria went to the living room finding Tony and Peter playing with Wanda and Natasha.
"Thank you, Ms. Hill," Peter said
"I have no clue what they're saying," Tony said as he got shouted at again by Wanda for not moving the doll the way she asked him to.
"Then learn Russian. Are you going to help me take this damn shot or not."
"The least you could say is please jeez," Tony said as he got up and followed her towards the kitchen," You know you have a nice apartment," Tony told her as he slipped on the gloves," Don't make this awkward," Maria tells him as he cleans where he's going to inject her," It was a compliment I can also have someone set up their room tomorrow while you settle go shopping with them tomorrow."
"Please don't think I'll have time. Also, how's the daycare at SI?" Maria asked as Stark took the serum out of the case," Good from what I hear. You would have to ask Pepper though she knows more about it than me. Ready?"
"Get it over with."
"The paperwork will be difficult but I already made them some fake birth certificates but you're going to have to go through their medical charts for allergies."
"You sure you and Pepper don't want to adopt?" Maria didn't even flinch as Stark put in the needle he injected. She was used to needles.
"I already have Underoos. I think that's enough." Tony told her as he gently took the needle out," It will only be a few hours until this works." Tony told her as he put the needle back in the cases and handed her a band-aid.
"This should be fun." The only friend Maria had that had kids was Laura Barton and as much as she loved the Barton kids she also knew Laura complained a lot about breastfeeding and the things it did to her breast but she also said it made her feel connected to her kids so Maria really didn't know how to feel about breastfeeding.
Maria and Tony heard a shriek coming from the living room followed by giggling so they knew it wasn't the girls being afraid," Where did you get the kid from anyway?" Maria asked if she was sure he wasn't his son, sure the kid could pass as his but Maria had a feeling they weren't related.
"You know Spider-Man?"
"He's Spider-man?"
"Yep, just giving him some guidance you know?"
"That's going to be interesting to see."
"I'm going to be the best damn mentor you will ever see."
"Sure you will. Are you staying for dinner?"
"Yup Pepper said she'll be over she went and picked up more clothes for the girls and toys."
"She didn't need to, I was going shopping tomorrow since I have the day off and getting some extra things."
"I told her that she wasn't having it and said she wanted to spoil them as much as possible since older Natasha and Wanda wouldn't let her."
"They weren't really those types of people."
"Yeah well, now they can't really tell her no so she's going to be spoiling them rotten."
"I expect you won't be so far behind?"
"You bet I have too much money and no one to spoil."
"You have Pepper."
"No, me and Pepper are a little rocky right now and gifts won't work."
"You guys will get over it just like everything else." Before Tony could reply Natasha and Wanda came running into the kitchen with Peter following behind," Вы, ребята, веселитесь с Питером?" (You guys having fun with Peter?) Maria asked the girls as they hid behind her playfully the next words to come out of the girl's mouth were harder to understand but she was pretty sure they had fun.
"I promise I didn't hurt them," Peter said, rushing to explain not sure what the girls had told Maria," I know they had fun," Maria told Peter he was very much relieved that the girls didn't think negatively of him.
"Please tell me my living room isn't covered in spiderwebs." Maria said looking at Peter once she noticed that girls were covered in some sticky goo," I'll go clean up." Peter said sheepishly as he went to clean up the girls trailing behind him.
"It won't kill them or anything," Tony told Maria as he saw a look of worry on her face as she inspected the spiderweb goo," It better not." She said as she went to wash it off her hands.
It was 2 hours later that they were all sitting down and having dinner. Pepper had come over and had brought the girls and Peter a bunch of stuff. Pepper had gotten Natasha a bunny while Wanda got an elephant which they both quickly became attached to. They had also made a mess, a big mess which Tony and Pepper cleaned up while Maria went to go take the girls a bath.
"Come in" Maria said as she tried to scrub Natasha but the girl kept wiggling away or moving out the way and Wanda was no better following Natasha's every move," Tony, Peter and I have to go home but we made sure to clean up the kitchen and the living room is clean." Pepper said as her head popped up from behind the door," Thank you so much." Maria meant that she didn't know how she would survive if she had to put Natasha and Wanda to bed and then do dishes and clean up. She knew she could do it but she didn't want to do it today.
"Your welcome. I guess I'll be seeing you and these 2 munchkins on Tuesday."Pepper said, which confused Maria since she was going to the office tomorrow," I'll be in tomorrow." Maria said as she took the bottle of shampoo Natasha somehow magically got her hands on.
"No, tomorrow is your day off, spend time with the girls, relax a little."
"Pepper-"
"SI won't crumble to the ground without you. If I see you tomorrow I will make you take time off and won't let anyone allow you in the building." Pepper said before she left the bathroom not giving Maria room to argue.
Sighing Maria turned back to the 2 redheads who have now taken interest in the bubbles which gave her enough time to clean Natasha while she was distracted and Wanda went without a fight since Natasha didn't fight she didn't see the point.
When Maria was done with that she wrapped both girls in towels which Wanda threw a tantrum at and Natasha soon followed screaming because neither one wanted to leave the tub but they settled down after Maria gave them their stuffed animals.
Maria dressed both girls in matching duck pajamas before she herself went to take a shower making sure she took the baby monitor with her to the bathroom and leaving the door open while she quickly showered.
Maria found that her room was still intact and had not been ransacked by the 2-year-olds who seemed very content with the game they were playing. Seeing as it was getting late Maria started getting the girls prepared and herself as well making sure to brush both girl's teeth and then her own. Before all 3 settled into Maria's bed she noticed Natasha had been rubbing her eyes and she knew Wanda wasn't far since she was also yawning.
