Tony was worried. Most of the team could see he was. But knowing Tony they all know it was better to let him come to them to talk if he needed to.
"this baby is really growing fast." Steve said as he looked at his six months baby bump in the mirror. "I can't belive I'm over half the way though my pregnancy."
"neither can I." Tony said not looking up from his tablet.
"you okay?" Steve asked hearing the slightly of tone to Tony's voice.
Tony didn't look up from his lap as he said. "yeah I'm fine."
"no your not." Steve walked over to Tony and seat down next to him. "what's wrong. You've been acting strange the last few days."
"I'm fine Steve." Tony said finally looking up at Steve. "I've just had a lot of work the last few days."
"this isn't work." Steve said knowing how Tony normally acted when he was stressed with work. "you spend all your time in your lab worrying if it's about work. You haven't been to your lab in three days. And I know this because Jarvis told me because even he knows somethings wrong."
Tony seat there starting at Steve trying to come up with some excuses as to why he had been acting strange lately before releasing that Steve know him better then almost any one and would see straight through him." I'm going to be a horrible father. "
"no your not. Your going to be a great father." Steve placed a hand on Tony's leg.
"how do you know that. The minute something went wrong I went back to my old ways. I worried you by staying in my lab and not coming up. I just left you to deal with things on your own even though you told me you needed me."
"yeah you did and I was really hurt and mad at first but it's the first time you did it for months. You've stopped working to much, drinking and you've been more caring then you've ever been." Steve said a tear fell down his check. "I know you going to be an amazing father because you would do anything for the people you love and you love this baby. They are going to be so lucky to have a father like you."
"do you really belive that?" Tony asked looking back down at his lap finding it hard to believe a work Steve was saying.
"yeah I do Tony. I really belive that." Steve took Tony's hand and paced it on his ever growing baby bump. "this baby is going to be so loved, so looked after and so happy because your going to make sure of it."
Steve and Tony seat there on their bed both with a hand on Steves baby bump thinking about the future and what it holds for their little family.
"I have to pee." Steve said about ten minutes later standing up. "go wait in the living room and the two of use can have a lazy afternoon watching TV."
"okay." Tony said smilling for the first time in the last few days as he watched Steve walk into their bathroom.
When Steve had finished on the toilet and walked into the living room Tony had turned the TV on and set a few snakes out for the two of them.
The afternoon was spent with the two of them laying down on the safe watching TV both with a hand on Steves baby bump marveling over the little movments they could feel.
Tony's fears would never really go away but at this point he actually believed he could be a good father.
"I was thinking." Tony said a couple days later as he and Steve layed on bed. "that before the baby's born we should go away for a long weekend just the two of use."
"that sounds nice." Steve looked over at Tony smilling. "a holiday just the two use before we became a family of three."
"that's exactly what I was thinking." Tony seat up streighter and turned around a bit so he was facing Steve. "I thought we decerved a weekend before the little one gets here."
"your going to plan it all right?" Steve asked knowing that if he planned it everything would go wrong.
"yeah. I want everything about it to be a surprise. A little treat for doing all this for me. For use." Tony said placing a hand on Steves stomach.
"you don't need to thank me for doing this." Steve said smilling at his boyfriend. "yeah there's been the morning sickness and stuff but I have loved the last six months."
"I'll book the holiday for in about a month and a half."
"okay." Steve agreed smilling.
