How It Should Have Been!

Hello everyone, I'm deeply sorry to inform you that I will no longer post chapters to this story, the main reason is that I have lost interest and no matter how much I tried I couldn't force myself to write the story any longer. Knowing that I'm never going to finish this story does break my heart, but I thought it would only be fair to tell you how I planned for it to go, hopefully, one day I will return and finish this fic.

Things became a little rough after the secret of Tony being pregnant get out; Peggy and Steven were furious, not only at Rogers and Tony but at themselves too for letting things reach this point. Steven knowing it was too late to feel anything but regret, managed to calm Peggy and Tony; the three of them have a long conversation about the next step from there, in which Tony told them that he doesn't want Rogers to know that he was the baby's daddy because he was going to offer the child for adoption, which shocked both Steven and Peggy but they both know they couldn't change Tony's mind, not now.

From Rogers's side of things, he finally manages to make Bucky remember him, even if Bucky sometimes space out and couldn't focus on him, his mind still not healed enough to handle everyday life. Though Steven, even if he hates Rogers he couldn't see Bucky suffer anymore, and after a long talk with Rogers, the Alpha ended up accepting Steven's advice of finding a therapist for Bucky.

Meanwhile, Hydra was on the move, the loss of Zola was crushing, and they knew that they needed to do something, preferably catching Steven once again, for the strength they witnessed was too much for them to let go; for Hydra Steven was now more important than getting back the Winter Soldier, with that in mind, Hydra made their move a few months later, waiting for everything to settle down, unaware of Steven and Peggy's decision of finally making the move to overthrow Hydra.

Seven months pregnant, Tony was feeling down, not only was he expecting a child he doesn't want, but he was forced to stay behind as the Avengers made their move on Hydra. Rhodey and Pepper visit him from time to time, Jarvis and Anna were the ones who stayed behind to take care of him, but even with all of that he was feeling left behind, unwanted. He felt like he made the biggest mistake of his life and that he was the idiot who destroyed everyone's trust in him, even when Steven, tell him otherwise.

Confused about his feeling for Steven and Rogers; Tony bumped into Bucky who was recovering faster than anyone could have predicted. As much as Tony wanted to scream at Bucky for destroying his life, the two Omegas surprisingly get along well; it was then Tony asked Bucky how he knew he loved Rogers, and how he could tell if he really does love someone or if it was something else. Bucky was surprised and a little bit confused at the question, but he answered Tony as best as he can, detailing how he felt about Rogers and how could someone knows if he really was in love or in lust or something in between.

Tony felt even more dawn when he realized that his feeling for Rogers was a mix of hero-worship, admiration, and a silly crush, and not the love he always stated to himself; thanking Bucky, Tony went and spent the next day in his room, crying the whole time when he realized that Steven and Peggy were right in the first place and that he was still a child who didn't know how to handle the situation he was in and not only that but he also destroyed his life by falling pregnant.

Steven and the Avengers finally returning from their hunt, thankfully they were able to defeat Hydra, this time with no causalities, and they were able to destroy Project Inside before it was even launched. Not finding Tony anywhere, Steven went to search for him, that's when he found him in his workshop crying; Steven not being able to handle seeing Tony in tears went and sat with him waiting for Tony to tell him what's wrong.

After Steven heard Tony's thoughts about himself, he was broken-hearted with how no one realizes how much Tony suffered; it made Steven realize how much of a failure he was dealing with this younger version of his husband, it ended with Steven telling Tony a little about his life with his husband, informing the Omega that nothing was as perfect as is seems but they could only move on, that it doesn't matter if he missed up this time, he still has tomorrow to fix everything.

"My husband used to say that a lot." Steven stated, causing Tony to smile a little. "Your husband sounds wise, who was he? You never told me who the lucky fella was." Tony asked, flushing when he realized that Steven was gazing at him with soft eyes full of love. "I think you might know him…" Steven stated with a smile before standing up and helping Tony, unaware of how red Tony's face was.

Two months later, Tony gave birth to a little boy, and just like he stated he was giving him to adoption, he refused to look at the baby even when the nurse brought the baby for Tony to hold; Steven knowing that Tony will regret it if he went through this, smiled at Tony and stated softly that he should at least hold the baby before giving him up. Holding the baby, Tony couldn't let go of the small boy; crying the whole time as he glared at everyone daring them to take the baby away from him.

"How did you know he wouldn't let go of the pup?" Peggy asked as she gazed at Steven. "Because he is Tony; I like to think that I know my husband well enough." Steven stated playfully to Peggy; though both of them were unaware of Tony who was hiding farther away from them.

It was a few days later that they returned to the mansion, with the little pup that Tony named Peter; the name gained a knowing smile from Steven that Tony was only now able to detect because of him eavesdropping on Steven and Peggy a few days later.

Now Tony knew Steven married him in his universe, a lot of Steven's actions around him made sense. That more than ever was the reason that Tony didn't confess his love for Steven for the next two years, even when everyone, even Rogers, thinks that Steven and him were together and that Steven's was Peter's father, the only ones who knew the truth were Peggy, Steven, and the Jarvis family, but they weren't going to tell anyone the truth without Tony's consent.

When Peter was two years old, the whole mess of Iron Man 3 took a place; it was then that Tony met Harley, the lone boy who lived with his divorced mother. Steven and the Avengers had rushed to help Tony when he called them to inform them that he was not dead, and thankfully to Steven's quick thinking and Edith, they were able to stop Killian before something unsavory happened, but not before Harley's mother ended up being killed in the whole mess, leaving the little boy orphaned with nowhere to go.

Feeling guilty for being the reason Harley's only parent was killed, Tony adopted the boy and start raising him with the help of Steven; Steven who stayed with Tony and helped him raise his Peter and now Harley from the start. The night after everyone returned to the tower, was the night that Tony finally confesses to Steven, him not being able to hold it in anymore.

"I'm not a rebound, Steven, I can't be him." Tony told Steven, getting a soft smile in return. "I don't want you to be him, Tony, I love my husband dearly, and he will always have a place in my heart, but this, now, it's ours, and I don't want you to be anyone but yourself." Reassured by these words, the two of them finally get together, much to Peggy's delight who couldn't help but grumble. "A little bit late, don't you think?"

Meanwhile, Thanos has been planning to capture Steven, ever since he knew about him finally returning to this universe, but the thing was, he never really knows what Steven was reborn as and what he was, he just knows that Steven was here and he has to find him. because of that, Thanos made his move way too early, now instead of the eight years the Avengers had to stop Thanos, they only have a few short months before he comes to earth to collect the infinity stones.

Knowing this, made the Avengers rush in their preparation they had been doing for the past three years, and with the help of the Ancient One and the Asgardian warriors, they were finally prepared to face Thanos. This time they were prepared, and they were able to finally defeat Thanos before he even collected the first infinity stone, but it came with a price, in the last battle between Steven and Thanos, Steven was wounded fatally that he falls into a coma.

A few months later, Steven finally woke up, to find the Avengers in his recovery room sleeping on any surface available. He ended up nearly choked to death with how tight he was hugged by Tony and everyone else. A few months passed and the first anniversary of Tony and Steven arrived; to Steven's shocked, it was Tony who proposed to him, using the same rings that Steven gave to his husband in his universe.

"You made them for him using your Shield, and I'm part of him… I really want my ring back Steven." Tony stated with a happy smile. Four months later the two of them get married, and not surprisingly, a year later they had a baby together. At first, Steven was unhappy with the name that Tony chooses which was surprising 'Morgan'. "Don't you think it's only fair to give someone a second chance?" after hearing Tony says these words to him, Steven finally agreed to the name.

In the final scene, Tony, Steven, and their children would have moved into the lake house that Steven told Tony about, the five of them living there happily.

Again, I am so sorry that I ended the story like this, but as you can say a lot has been going on lately, and I just couldn't finish it anymore, hopefully, one day I will return and finish the story.
