( A/N month 6! Enjoy! )
Month 6
Pepper picked up a box of clothes and moved down stairs to the moving truck. Tony saw this and rushed over to her. "Pepper! Don't pick up heavy objects!" he said taking the box from her. Pepper sighed and rolled her eyes. "Tony it's only clothes!" she said following him outside. Tony put the box in the truck and turned to Pepper. " Pep. You should be relaxing." He said and Pepper sighed "But I want to help! I feel so useless!" she pouting. Tony looked at Pepper for a moment and pulled her into a hug. "Tell you what. How about you go and pack the rest of the boxes up stairs." He said with a small smile. Pepper huffed but nodded. Tony smiled kissed Pepper then started to move more boxes.
After a few hours of moving boxes Tony and Pepper were standing in an empty bare living room. "This place needs to be decorated….." Pepper said looking around and Tony nodded. The living room had a high ceiling and a fire place it also had doors leading out to a patio. Tony brought in all of the boxes and sighed. Pepper came out of the kitchen eating a pickle Tony chuckled "What?" Pepper asked blushing. " Getting cravings?" Tony asked smiling. Pepper sighed and nodded. "Well I have to go get our bed….and no you can't help." Tony said heading outside and cut Pepper off before she could ask. It took Tony about thirty minutes of cursing until he finally got the bed set up. Pepper watched amused from the door way. "Tomorrow we have to get some furniture." Pepper said now making the bed. " Ya we'll go to the store in the morning." Tony said. "We need a car too." he said setting up a few book shelves. "Hmmmm something safe but cool." Pepper said and Tony chuckled. "We can get a car after we get furniture." He said with a smile. Pepper got ready for bed while Tony locked up the house. Tony walked into the bedroom to see Pepper in a large night shirt she seemed to be using it as a night gown. She was looking in a full length mirror holding her stomach. Tony smiled and leaned against the doorframe. "hey beautiful." He said. Pepper turned to look at Tony then back at the mirror with a small pout. Tony walked up next to her and gently placed a hand on her belly. "Your only saying that because I'm pregnant." Pepper said frowning. Tony made Pepper look at him "No. I said it because you're beautiful and I love you." he said and leaned down and kissed Pepper gently. "Love you too." Pepper said when they broke apart. Tony smiled "Ok…bed time you look exhausted." He said. Pepper walked over to the bed and got settled. Tony got in next to her. "Night Pep." He said but Pepper was already sound asleep. Tony chuckled and turned off the light.
The next day Pepper was showered and standing in the kitchen drinking some orange juice. Tony walked into the kitchen and quickly kissed Pepper and got himself some juice. "Ready for some furniture shopping today?" Pepper asked with a small smile. Tony chuckled and nodded "Yup. We can also get some paint and paint the nursery." He said with smile. Pepper thought for a moment "I want to know the sex of the baby before we do that." She said. "Well you have a doctor's appointment next week we'll find out then." Tony said looking at his watch. "We should get going we have lots to do." He continued. Pepper nodded and followed him out the door.
They arrived at the furniture store and began to look for furniture. "Ohhhh look at that!" Pepper said point to a living room set. It was a black leather sofa, love seat, and arm chair. Tony looked at it and approved. "I like it." He said looking over at Pepper who already got a large cart. Tony chuckled and took the cart from her. They searched the store for two hours. They gave the store their address and went to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick smaller items like towels and lamps. "Owww my feet are starting to hurt…" Pepper said frowning. Tony opened the cab door for Pepper "One more stop today Pep. Then we can go home. You can sit down and relax while you tell me where to put everything." He said then gave the driver the address he wanted. They rode in the cab for 15 minutes before the cab stopped in front of a car dealership. Tony and Pepper got out. Tony took Pepper's hand and led her inside. A car dealer came up to them with a smile on his face. "Ah Mr. Stark! Welcome! How can I help you today?" he asked Tony smiled politely. "I need a car….safe…..but…." he started but couldn't find the word he wanted. "but with style?" the dealer guy asked Tony chuckled and nodded. The dealer noticed Pepper and gave her a kind smile he also noticed that she was shifting from foot to foot. The dealer guy snapped his fingers in the air "Can we please get a chair over here?" he yelled and imedetly someone rushed over with a chair. The dealer guy smiled at Pepper. "Please dear sit. You look exhausted." He said Pepper sat relieved. Tony leaned down and kissed Pepper's hair. " I'll get the car." He said then left with the dealer while Pepper was all the sudden surround by people asking if she needs anything like water, or food.
Tony and the car dealer talked for an hour before Tony came over to Pepper who was drinking a milkshake. "I think you will love the car." Tony said with a smile. Pepper got up tossed the shake in the garbage and followed Tony. Pepper gasped when she saw the car. "OH MY GOD IT'S GORGOUS!" she yelled happily. Tony smiled at Pepper reaction. "I'm glad you like it. It's all paid for…let's go home and so you can watch me move furniture." Tony said guiding Pepper to the passenger side of their new red 2012 Dodge Durango. They arrived the same time the furniture store truck did. Tony pointed were he wanted everything went while Pepper ate a pickle from the fridge again. After the furniture guys left Tony put together shelves and tables and moved the couch to where Pepper liked it best it lasted only an hour to Tony's relief.
Pepper sat on the couch and worked on her homework. Tony walked in talking to Rhodey on his cell. "Ya I'll meet you at the armory. Ok By man." He said then hung up. "Hey there's an emergency down town…I'll be back soon Pep." Tony said leaning down to give Pepper a quick kiss. But Pepper kept him there a little longer. That kiss made Tony want to stay and be with her but he knew he had to leave. "I love you." Pepper said when Tony was by the front door. Tony smiled "Love you too Pep." He said then quickly left. Pepper fell asleep on the couch but woke up when she heard the front door open. She glanced at the clock it said 3:00 Am. Pepper yawned and looked up to see Tony leaning against the door clutching at his side. His face had a few cuts and big cut on his arm. "Tony!" Pepper said getting up which was amazing because she's so pregnant. Tony smiled "Hey Pep. Don't worry I'm fine just a rough night." He said and Pepper snorted "Like hell your ok!" she said pushing Tony over to the couch. Tony winced. Pepper quickly went up stairs and got the first aid kit. She got back and started on Tony's wounds. Her hands gently a washcloth and rubbed away the blood and cleaned his cuts. She wrapped Tony's arm in a white bandage and place smaller ones on his face. Tears were sliding down her cheeks. "I hate it when you're hurt." She said quietly putting everything back in the first aid kit. Tony wiped away her tears and brought Pepper into a hug. "I'm sorry Pep…" he said into her hair. Pepper smiled "it's ok Tony…New York needs you. " she said moving to get more comfoterable next to him.
A week later:
Tony woke up in bed and didn't bother moving. He glanced over at Pepper and watched her sleep peacefully. Tony smiled we're going to find out the sex of the baby today… he thought happily. Pepper sighed and turned to face Tony. She laid her head on his shoulder and placed her hand on his chest. Tony smiled and closed his eyes. He didn't realize Pepper was awake until he felt her kiss him gently on the lips. Tony chuckled "Hey sleepyhead." He murmured. Tony opened his eyes and looked at Pepper. Pepper smiled at Tony "Hey…" she said sitting up. Tony sat up and stretched his arms before he got out of bed. Pepper was already at their closet choosing her clothes for the day.
An hour later they were waiting their turn to see the doctor. Soon the nurse called Pepper's name and her and Tony stood and followed the nurse to a room. In that room waited Pepper's doctor. "Are you ready to see the baby?" she asked smiling. Tony and Pepper nodded smiling themselves. The doctor led them to another room and had Pepper lay on and exam bed. The doctor took out some jell "Ok this is going to be a little cold." She said then squirted the jell onto Pepper's now bare stomach. Pepper jumped at the cold jell. The doctor took a paddle and rubbed it on Pepper's belly and looked at the computer screen. A black and white Picture appeared and so did and small person. They could see the baby. Pepper's eyes filled with tears and Tony took Pepper's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. The doctor smiled and froze the picture to print it. "Congratulations your having a baby girl." She said turning the lights back on. Pepper smiled and Tony gave a happy laugh and smiled at the frozen picture on the computer screen. "I'll be right back with the picture." The doctor said and left the room. Tony walked over to the counter and got Pepper a few tissues. Pepper took the tissues and wiped off the jell on her belly. "A baby girl…" Tony said leaning against the wall his eyes distant. Pepper smiled and moved to get off the bed. "What are you thinking about Tony?" Pepper asked throwing the tissues away. "That she's not going to date until she's thirty." Tony laughed and Pepper chuckled. The doctor walked back into the room holding a black and white photo. She handed the photo to Tony and said her goodbyes.
Tony and Pepper drove to Tony's dad's house. Tony opened the door for Pepper. Howard came down the stairs and smiled at his son and future daughter-in-law. "Thought you would want to see this." Tony said holding up a small picture. Howard took the photo and looked at it. He laughed with a smile. The baby's first picture. "Do you two know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" he asked still looking at the picture. Pepper smiled "Yup." She said and Howard looked up "It's a girl." Tony said with a smile. Howard smiled. "Oh I almost forgot!" Pepper said suddenly. She started scurrying to the door. "Pep?" Tony asked "We have to go shopping for her now Tony! Bye Howard!" Pepper yelled going out the door. Tony laughed and shook his head. "Uhh I have to go before she leaves without me…Show Rhodey and Roberta…and uhh whoever…" Tony said looking toward the door and heard the car start. "Pepper!" Tony yelled running out the door. Howard laughed and went back upstairs to finish getting ready for work.
Tony and Pepper got home hours later. Tony lugged a crib upstairs and after that many other things like a changing table, a rocking chair, and many other baby items. Tony kept everything in the hallway so he could paint the wall a soft lilac color. He made Pepper stay down stairs and watch TV while he worked. After the purple paint dried Tony painted a white rose border around the room. This took two hours. After that dried he brought in the crib and put it together in the corner. Then he put together the changing table and put it on the wall by the door. The rocking chair went in the other corner by the window and the lamp. Tony put a book shelf by the rocking chair against the wall and loaded it with many different books. He then put many different stuffed animals on the bench like window sill then put a round purple and white rug on the hardwood floor. Tony smiled at his work and went down stairs to get Pepper.
Pepper looked up when Tony entered the room covered in paint. Pepper chuckled at the sight of Tony. Pepper got up with Tony's help. He took her hand and led her upstairs. Tony covered Peppers eyes and led her into the nursery. "Come on Tony! I want to see!" Pepper said exited. Tony chuckled and removed his hand. Pepper looked at the room and smiled. "Oh it's absolutely beautiful!" she said walking into the room. Tony smiled. Pepper walked over to the rocking chair and sat down and started to gently rock. Tony leaned against the door frame and watched as Pepper reached for a book and started to read out loud. Tony felt a huge surge of love go through him. The most important thing to him were right here. His two favorite girls. Pepper and his soon to be daughter. Tony walked into the room and sat down on the floor next to Pepper and laid his head on her knee and listened. Pepper kept reading but placed her hand on Tony's head and started running her fingers through his hair.
