(A/N Month 3! Enjoy! I'm just going to be uploading a lot of chapters…I have a couple of OC's in this by the way. Warning Language you have been warned….)

Month 3

Pepper walked through the halls of the Tomorrow Academy hoping no one will notice that she had gotten bigger. But hoping wasn't enough Pepper ran into Whitney Stane. "Lay off the burgers and fries Pepper….it's starting to show." Whitney said laughing. Pepper looked down blushed and rushed off.

Tony found Pepper on the roof with tears in her eyes. "Pepper?" Tony asked rushing over to her. "Nothing…just the usual stuff." Pepper said brushing tears off her face with the sleeve of her shirt. Tony hugged Pepper gently "tell me what happened." He said into her hair. Pepper sighed "I ran into Whitney in the hall….she just commented on how big I was getting…" she said. Tony sighed "Don't listen to Whitney Pep." He said rubbing Pepper's back. Pepper nodded "Come on last class of the day…" she said pulling away and took his hand.

Tony now led Pepper in the classroom holding her hand. Everyone started to whisper now. "Ohhoo Tony and Pepper together at last! Alright those of you who contributed to the poll pay up!" Happy yelled. Some kids groaned and reached into their pockets and paid Happy. Tony and Pepper rolled their eyes and sat down waiting for class to start. Whitney glared "Hey Tony. Watch out Pepper looks like she's gaining some weight….she'll be a house if she keeps that up." She said making sure everyone could hear. People ohhhed and started to whisper again. Tony's eyes flashed in a way that made Whitney sit back in her chair. "Don't talk about Pepper in that way Whitney." Tony said in a deadly calm. Whitney didn't talk for the rest of class and everyone else was staring at the new couple.

Pepper, Tony, and Rhodey arrived home an hour and a half later completely exhausted. Pepper moved to the living room to sit down because her feet were killing her. Tony came in holding a bottle of water for Pepper. "We have a meeting with S.H.E.I.L.D later." He said sitting down next to Pepper. Pepper nodded and snuggled up to Tony who wrapped his arms around her. "It's just going to get harder isn't it?" Pepper said looking up at Tony. Tony looked down at Pepper sighed and nodded "It is. But everything will work out Pep. I know it will." He said then kissed Pepper's head.

Pepper and Tony walked onto the bridge of the Helicarrier. Nick Fury stood there waiting for them with his usual scowl. "Stark, Potts. What can I do for you?" he asked Tony sighed "The paparazzi are going to find out Pepper's pregnant sooner or later. What are we going to tell them?" he asked Pepper sat down with a hand on her stomach. Fury looked at the teens and turned to his controls thinking. Soon Fury took a breath and let it out. "Tell the truth. Better yet don't do a thing let S.H.E.I.L.D do it. We will talk to the public and tell them the parts they need to know. For right now you go home and go to school and relax." He said looking at Tony. Tony sighed and nodded. "Come on Pep." Tony said taking Pepper's hand leading her off the carrier.

The Next Day:

Tony and Pepper walked through the halls of the Tomorrow Academy enduring the stares and whispers. General Nick Fury made the important message to the public last night. Paparazzi swarmed the Rhode's house and haven't left. Happy came up to Tony and Pepper "Hey congrats guys…." He said with a big smile. Pepper smiled and Tony laughed nervously. Whitney came behind Happy and glared at Pepper and smiled sweetly at Tony. "I'm Sorry Tony! It's sad this happened. If you need anything let me know. Like if you need to get rid of the pet…and Pet jr." she said quietly. Pepper looked down at the ground and Tony glared at Whitney. "Thanks Happy…see you later." He said to Happy and led Pepper away completely ignoring Whitney.

Tony wrapped his arms around Pepper to comfort her. "I'm fine Tony." Pepper said in a small voice. "Mr. Stark!" called a voice from behind them. Tony turned and spotted Principle Nara. Tony huffed "I'll see you in a few." He said then kissed her on the forehead and left to talk to Nara. Pepper sighed and continued down the hall. Someone came up behind Pepper and gave her a hug. Pepper was shocked at first then relaxed when she saw her friend Kelsie. "Oh hey Kelsie." Pepper said with a smile. "Hey chickie" Kelsie said with a smiling a little. "How are you…? I mean with the you know…." She asked indicating Pepper's belly. Pepper smiled a little bit "I'm doing fine. Tony is taking care of me soooo I'm all good." She said. Kelsie was about to say something more but Whitney bumped into Pepper's shoulder and muttered "Slut" Pepper cringed and Kelsie grew angry "OH HELL NO! BITCH COME HERE!" Kelsie yelled chasing after Whitney. All Pepper could hear was a scream and a crash. Kelsie came back after a couple of minutes with a satisfied look on her face. "I walk with you for a while." She said hooking her arm into Pepper's and tugged her down the hall.

The school day seemed to go by peacefully. Tony and Pepper got congrats and some skeptical stares and glares from Whitney. Kelsie caught Whitney trying to write 'whore' on Pepper's locker. "HEY!" Kelsie yelled. Whitney gave a little scream and ran off. "That's right you better run!" Kelsie yelled after Whitney. "Kick your prissy white ass." She muttered the last part and walked off.

Tony and Pepper were in health class when the teacher came and in and started the lesson on teen pregnancy. Kids started to laugh. Pepper sighed "Can you say irony?" she said. Tony chuckled. "What's so funny?" asked the health teacher but then she noticed Tony and Pepper. "Oh…" she said and she sat down looking at them clicking her tongue in disapproval. Everyone rolled their eyes they all knew that Mrs. Troon was very old fashioned. (A/N Troon lol have no idea where that came from….)

Tony got an Iron Man call and had to leave right as soon as the bell rang leaving Pepper in Rhodey's care. Pepper and Rhodey arrived at the house and were surrounded by reporters and cameras. "Get away from them right now! I swear I can sue you all in a second!" Pepper heard Roberta yell. The paparazzi vanished running away from the angry lawyer. She ushered Pepper and Rhodey into the house and locked the door behind them. "Well how was school? And where is Tony?" Roberta asked. Pepper looked at Rhodey who looked at her. "Tony is at his lab and school was great!" Pepper said quickly lying. Roberta looked at Pepper for a minute and then to her son. "Alright. Go do your homework." She said waving them off.

Tony came home 2 hours later looking tired. "Hey." Pepper said with a smile. Tony smiled at Pepper and gave her a kiss before sitting down to do his homework but to find it had been done already. "Huh?" he asked confused. Pepper smiled. "I did it for you. I thought you would be tired when you got home so I did your homework." She said and Tony looked at her "Thanks Pep. But you didn't have to do that." He said gently. "I wanted to. You seemed stressed over a few things so I made life a little bit easier for you." Pepper said still smiling. Tony sighed smiled at Pepper and leaned over to kiss her. "Thank you." he whispered. "You're welcome." Pepper said standing up walking over to Tony. Tony smiled up at Pepper and put a hand on her belly. "Love you Pep." He said Pepper smiled. "Love you too Tony." She said holding Tony's hand to her stomach. "And I love you…" Tony said to Pepper's belly then kissed it.

Rhodey smiled at the scene in front of him. He walked to the kitchen when Tony arrived home but stopped to watch what was happening. "6 more months to go…" he said and left the two lovebirds alone.
