so sorry it's taken me so long to update. I finished posting this on AOU a few weeks ago and forgot I still needed to post it on here. I promise I'm going to try and remember to post a new chapter once a week.
I would love to know what you thought about this chapter and the story so far in the comments.
sorry if there's any mistakes and if there is just let me know please so I can fix them.
The next month was spent with Steve moving his stuff into the tower and the two of them getting used to the fact that they no longer living on their own but instead of it making things awkward or weird between the two of them like Tony was afraid of. No things only got better between the two of them.
Living together and knowing that they were going to have a baby was the best feeling for Steve and Tony.
"we have another ultrasound on Friday." Steve told Tony as the two of them got ready for bed.
"what time?" Tony asked looking over at Steve.
"one." Steve told him as he sat down on the bed.
"okay. I'll let Peper know." Tony seat down in bed next to Steve. "so I can be there."
"okay." Steve said as he laid down.
"can you put the appointments in my work calendar so that I can always make it there?" Tony asked as he picked up his tablet.
"Yeah, of course, I can do that." Steve said looking over at Tony.
Tony spent the rest of the night working on fixing a problem with one of Clint's arrows while Steve slept next to him. Something that was becoming a natural occurrence since they moved in together.
That Friday things didn't quite go how they expected them too.
As they were on there way out of the tower the Avengers were called away on a mission bad enough for Tony to be called. meaning Steve was left to go to his appointment alone worrying about his boyfriend.
"they're going to be okay Steve." Bruce said as the two of them a seat in the living room watching news reports of the attack.
"how do you know that it looks pretty bad." Steve said not looking away from the TV.
"there hasn't been a code green." Bruce reminded his friend. "it can't be that bad."
"doesn't mean they're going to be okay." Steve said looking over at Bruce with tears in his eyes.
"how many missions have we been on as a team. Loads and we always make it out okay. Have some hope." Bruce said looking back at Steve.
"I'm trying to have some hope." Steve said placing a hand on his still flat stomach.
Steve and Bruce seat in the living room watching the news on the TV for half an hour before they were told the fight was over and that everyone was okay.
It was another half hour before Tony and the rest of the team made it back to the tower.
"Tony." Steve said the minute Tony had walked back into the tower as he ran over to give him a hug. "I was so worried."
"Sorry about that." Tony said hugging Steve back tightly wanting to forget the tough fight. "you okay?"
"I am now your home safe." Steve said pulling back a bit to look at Tony.
"how was the scan?"
"everything was fine." Steve reassured his boyfriend.
The rest of the night was spent with Steve and Tony cuddled up on the sofa both just glad that everything and everyone was okay.
"I'm gonna give up being Iron Man permanently. At least until the baby's like 2." Tony told Steve a couple of hours later.
"really?" Steve asked shocked.
"yeah. I don't want to miss out on another appointment and I don't want you sitting at home worrying like you were tonight. If giving up Iron Man means I get to be here for everything then I would." Tony told Steve not a single bit of regret in his voice.
"thanks." Steve said before kissing Tony glad that he won't have to sit at home worrying about the love of his life when he's powerless to help.
They both know that one day the world would need them to be superheroes again but for now, they can live without the worrying and sleepless nights that comes when one when of them is called away on a mission.
