Weeks passed, and with that Pepper's morning sickness phase went away, being replaced by increasingly frequent desires.

All kinds of them.

- OK! I can't believe I'm gonna say that. Pep, we need to take a break. - Tony said breathlessly, while the woman kissed his naked body.

- Who knew Tony Stark would say that one day. Is this a sign of old age coming?

- No, definitely not.

- Oh, really...? - the woman approached him in a sensually way, while saying.

- Definitely not... - he stopped talking when received a kiss on the lips.

- Your white hair says something else, Grandpa . - Pepper joked, and got out of bed. Then she took Tony's shirt on the floor and put it on as she walked to the kitchen.

- Hey! I 'm not old! I'm just out of energy after being used by my wife for hours! - Tony tried to defend himself, following his wife to the kitchen. - Speaking of hours, what time is the appointment?

- At four. - the woman replied, before biting a piece of watermelon. - But we will leave the house after lunch, so we can buy the gifts that are missing before that.

- Meat or chicken? Tony asked as he opened the fridge.

- Soy.

- Ok… And whose gifts are missing? - he started picking up the ingredients.

- Bambi, my dad, Rhodes and Gerald. - she accepted from his hands what would combine with soy and returned what wouldn't.

- Ok… - Tony closed the fridge and started looking for pans while Pepper washed the potatoes. - We can stop by some children's furniture stores if you like.

- For someone who hates to go shopping, you've been visiting too many of these.

- It's not boring when it comes to the baby. Hon, where are the pans you use to... Nevermind, I found it! - He pulled the pan from the bottom, dropping the others in the process. - Ops. My bad.

- Just… put everything back and leave my kitchen, ok?

- Okay. We're okay, right?

- Right. Now get out.

- Need something?

- I need you to get some oregano and parsley from the garden. But before that, you should wear something.

- Ok… - he looked around, until he found on the sofa the basket with the washed clothes that he should have kept the day before. - Pants. - He said pointing to the one at the top of the pile, before running to it.

…

Pepper already knew what to give as a gift to people who were missing from the Christmas list, so they bought everything quickly and spent the rest of the time exploring children's clothing and furniture stores, buying everything they found adorable. "This baby isn't even born yet and already is the most spoiled baby of all time", said Pepper. And that was true.

And after exhausting every inch of Happy with bags and bags, the couple went to Pepper's obstetrician's office for another monthly appointment.

- So , how's the second trimester going? - the obstetrician asked when entering the room.

- Great! It feels good to be able to keep the food in my stomach every morning again.

- Are you having desires?

- A lot of them. And I'm loving it, because now we have pizza and ice cream at three in the morning, at least twice a week. - Tony said excitedly.

- There is no problem giving in to some desires eventually; as long as you keep your healthy diet, doing exercise and taking your vitamins. It is important that you recover what was lost during the frequent nausea. - the obstetrician passed the gel on Pepper and started the ultrasound. - See, here's the little head... and here are the little legs and arms... Do you want to know the gender now or should I send the result to someone?

- Oh, we wanna know now. Right?

- Absolutely! - Tony held Pepper's hand, vibrating with excitement and anxiety.

- You must be the first in 2 years to ask for this. With this gender revelation parties trend, I keep preparing papers to be delivered to confectioneries, balloon stores, fireworks stores...

- I tried to do something similar, but she said no .

- You're not gonna wear one of your armors to write the baby's gender in the sky. - Pepper said seriously, before looking back at the monitor.

- Ok... Let's see if he or she collaborates with us... - The obstetrician was silent for a moment , concentrated. - Have you ever thought of names for boy or girl?

- Morgan. Regardless of the gender. - Tony replied.

- What a lovely name ! I'm sure she'll love it. Congratulations, you will have a little girl! - the doctor smiled. - I'll give you some privacy for a few minutes. - She handed some papers to Pepper to remove the gel from her belly and left.

- Morgan. - Tony said looking at the screen, fascinated. Then he looked at his wife. - Are you okay?

- I'm great... - she said, and some tears ran down her face. The man cleaned them. - We'll have a little girl, Tony... - she shook his hand, and the two put their hands free on her belly. Then they exchanged a short kiss, before returning to enjoy their daughter on the monitor.
