(A/N Month 5! Enjoy! And sorry I haven't updated in a while.)
Month 5
Pepper finally had to start buying maternity clothes. After the bell ended signaling the end of the day at school Tony gave a wad of cash to Pepper and sent her on her way with one of her friends to buy some new clothes.
Pepper groaned when her and her friend Maggie walked into the store. All Pepper saw was frills and lace. Maggie laughed "Come on honey." She said dragging Pepper further into the store. A store clerk came to help them after an hour of trying to figure out sizes. "Pepper come on out! I'm sure you look just fine!" Maggie shouted at curtain. "Oh come on! This is….so….so…..Frilly!" Pepper shouted back complaining. "Just come out!" Maggie said sighing. Pepper huffed and stepped out of the dressing room. Maggie gasped and smiled widely. "AWWW Pepper you look soooo Awesome!" She said and Pepper blushed looking down at herself. "Frufru." Pepper muttered and walked back into the changing room.
Pepper had picked out many outfits for the coming months. She also had to get maternity bras. A bigger cup size than she originally had to her embarrassment. Maggie brought Pepper home helping with the bags of clothes. Tony walked down the stairs because the computer told him Pepper was home. "Hey Pep! Get everything you need?" he asked with a smile. Pepper smiled back and nodded putting down a few bags. Maggie came in carrying and extra ten bags. "Pepper go and put on that outfit and show Tony." She said and Pepper groaned and picked up the bags again and headed up stairs with a smiling Maggie behind her. Tony laughed and waited.
Pepper walked down the stairs wearing white pants with a pink frilly shirt. (A/N ya kinda got that from Charmed…from when Piper was pregnant) Tony smiled at Pepper. "You look great Pep." He said and Pepper blushed. "It's so frilly!" she complained and Tony laughed. "You look beautiful Pepper." He said pulling her close. "Oh and something worse is starting to happen! Apparently my stomach is public property now because People keep touching it!" Pepper ranted. Tony chuckled and kissed Pepper gently on the lips and put his hand on her stomach. "Get a room!" Rhodey said laughing walking into the room and got closer to his two friends. Pepper rolled her eyes and Tony laughed. "Get some new clothes Pepper?" Rhodey asked and Pepper nodded frowning at the fact. "Well it's about time. You were starting to not fit in the usual stuff. I mean you have something growing inside you….that must be weird!" Rhodey said reaching out a hand to touch her belly. Pepper slapped his hand away. "Touch it and you pull back a nub." Pepper said flatly glaring at him. Rhodey quickly pulled back his hand as if to protect it. Tony started to laugh. "Only three people on this planet are allowed to touch my stomach. Me, my doctor, And Tony." Pepper said giving Rhodey a lecture.
Howard came up from the lab built in the basement of the large house to Pepper giving Rhodey a stern lecture and Tony leaning against the wall amused. "What happened?" he asked his son curious. Tony smiled. "Pepper and her friend Maggie went maternity clothes shopping today and people kept touching Pepper's stomach. And just now Rhodey tried to pat Pepper's stomach and here we are." He said waving a hand in their direction. Howard laughed and left for the kitchen. "Ok Pep. I think Rhodey understands what he did. He's heard enough." Tony said with a smile. Pepper huffed and Rhodey sighed in relief. "Fine." Pepper said moving over to a chair to sit for a moment. "You ok Pep?" Tony asked moving closer to her. Pepper sighed and looked up at Tony "Ya just getting tired…again." She said trying to stand up but failed and tried again with Tony's help. "Thanks…it's getting harder to get up now." Pepper said with a small laugh. Tony chuckled and turned to Rhodey. "Come on. Time to patrol." He said then kissed Pepper and then hugged her. "See you in a bit Pep." He said and left with Rhodey.
Pepper sighed and went up stairs to the room her and Tony shared to put her new clothes away. Maggie sat on the floor folding and going through the clothes she looked up when Pepper walked into the room. "Next month we need to get you some new shoes." She said and Pepper frowned. "Aww come on! I love my converses!" she said complaining. Maggie rolled her eyes. "Soon your feet are going to get bigger and you need shoes with support." She said handing Pepper a stack of folded clothes. Pepper huffed and put them away. Pepper and Maggie finished and went down stairs. "You want to go out to eat? Or do you have plans with Tony?" Maggie asked putting on her coat. "Tony's going to be out late soooo….Ya sure I need something to eat….eating for two after all…." Pepper said rambling a little and Maggie laughed. "Alright come on." She said tossing Pepper her coat. Pepper smiled and put it on.
Pepper and Maggie walked down the streets of New York laughing and having a good time. Pepper looked up and saw Iron Man fly above them and she smiled. "So where do you want to eat?" Maggie asked adjusting her purse. Pepper thought for a moment. "How about that little diner down town." She said with a smile. Maggie smiled too and nodded "Ya I could do with a burger and some fries with a chocolate milkshake." She said and Pepper laughed "Mmmm Ya defiantly" she said and took Maggie's arm making her walk faster. This made Maggie laugh.
Pepper fished her milkshake while Maggie paid the bill even after Pepper's protests. They soon after left the diner and walked down the street. "So do you guys know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" Maggie asked curious. Pepper sighed "We don't know yet…" She said and Maggie nodded. All of the sudden there was an explosion 30 feet away from them. Pepper and Maggie screamed in shock. Iron Man and War Machine flew to the scene and started to fight with the Maggia. One of the Maggia guys looked over and saw Maggie and Pepper "Hey guys there she is!" he yelled and everyone near him looked at Pepper. "Oh…craaaaaap." Pepper said and took Maggie's hand and started to run. "Stop her! And don't shoot Nafaria wants her alive!" a Maggia guy yelled chasing Pepper and Maggie. "PEPPER!" a metallic voice shouted. Pepper and Maggie were backed into a corner. "Grab the redhead." A Maggia guy said to another and he stepped forward. He stepped forward and grabbed Pepper by the arm and touched her stomach. Tony and Rhodey flew to the scene and saw what happened. "Oh no." Tony said.
Pepper felt furious that was like the hundredth time that day someone touched her stomach without her permission. Pepper took the Maggia guys hand and twisted his arm behind his back. "DO NOT TOUCH MY GOD DAMNED STOMACH!" she yelled as the Maggia guy cried out in pain while his friends stepped back in fear. War Machine swooped down and grabbed Maggie while Iron Man did the same but with Pepper and flew them home.
Tony quickly got back home from the armory and found Pepper in their room. He quickly went over to her and gave her the biggest hug ever. "Oh don't scare me like that again!" he said pulling back to look at her. Pepper nodded and hugged Tony. "Sorry. Maggie and I just went out to eat and we were walking back here, then the explosion….." she said trailing off and Tony sighed and kissed Pepper gently. "Come on…let's get some sleep." He said and Pepper nodded. She walked over to the bed and settled in. She then picked up her phone and went through it while she waited for Tony.
Tony walked into the bedroom wearing a pair of sweat pants. He climbed into bed next to Pepper "Soooo what do you think? House or apartment?" he asked holding up a news paper. Pepper's eyes lit up. "Really?!"She asked exited and Tony nodded with a smile on his face. Pepper thought for a moment. "House….I always wanted a yard…." She said with a dreamy expression. Tony chuckled and leaned over and kissed Pepper on the forehead."I'll look tomorrow…for now let's get some sleep." He said lying down and turning off the light. "Goodnight Tony…Love you…" Pepper said snuggling up to him. Tony wrapped his arms around Pepper "Love you too Pep." He said and they both fell asleep.
