I am completely ignoring the events of Iron Man 3, but I am sticking to Winter Soldier, and I might throw some Age of Ultron characters in eventually.

Thanks for reading. Review if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. :)

It had been a long day. 3 meetings with marketing and r&d and about a million pages of paperwork later, just a video call with some rich, self-entitled French scientist who thinks he knows all there is to know about green energy and her day would be over. Luckily Pepper Potts is very used to dealing with rich, self-entitled scientists.

Eventually her work day is over, and Pepper finally finds herself on a more comfortable floor of Stark tower. Scooping up the killer heels she had kicked off in the elevator, pausing for a brief moment she listens and follows the voice of her excited husband to the community kitchen. Sure each floor had its own, but the 'family' usually all made their way here to eat when they were together. Stopping in the doorway with wide eyes Pepper is pulled out of her thoughts as she sees the state of the kitchen, and the state of her husband and his best friend. Tony and Rhodey are covered in flour, eggs, and various other foods as they rush around the kitchen area trying to way too many things at once. The men look distraught as they fail at their goal of making breakfast foods for dinner: the pancakes batter is everywhere, the bacon is burnt, the eggs are smashed on the floor, and the toaster isn't even on. And in the center of the room, somehow messier than everything else, sits her baby girl, clearly having the time of her life as the two adults who were supposed to be taking care of her were on the brink of breaking down. As her daughter smashes another egg on the floor, Pepper finally alerts the room to her presence.

"JARVIS, turn off all the cooking-where in the kitchen and run a warm bath in my room please." Pepper didn't listen to his response as the rooms three occupants turned to her raised eyebrow of disapproval. At least two of them had the sense to look ashamed, sadly Tony wasn't that smart and decided to speak up.

"Hey Pepps, your just in time to try out our breakfast foods!" Pepper's raised eyebrow turns to a glare at the plate Tony holds out to her.

"I'm gonna go…" Rhodey says already halfway out the door intent on avoiding Pepper's wrath.

"JARVIS, please order a pizza. Tony, clean this mess up or you won't be getting any." Pepper steps towards the island in the center of the room and smiles as she scoops up her 5 year old.

Time fly's so fast that it feels like just yesterday the Avengers battled Loki, Tony proposed to her within the month, and she was blessed with the little angel. "Why don't we get you a bath while Daddy cleans up in here, then we can do pizza and a movie. Does that sound good?" Pepper asks her darling girl in the soft voice she reserves just for her.

"Can we watch Tangled?" The blue eyes girl asks as she rests her head on her mother's shoulders.

"Of course Alex, Tangled sounds great!" Pepper smiles knowing that JARVIS will have already set up the movie room by the time she gets her little one in Pjs. Tony finishes cleaning up in the kitchen and joins his two girls with the pizza right as the movie is starting. All three lounge on the couch and enjoy the shenanigans that the girl with the unnaturally long hair and a frying pan get into. Feeling the buzz of her phone in her pocket, Pepper smiles as she pulls out her phone and reads the text.

"I'm sorry that I let Tony destroy your kitchen. I'll admit that it was partially my fault too but Alex was being so cute and she was well behaved all day so when she asked if we could have breakfast for dinner it sounded like a great idea. Then Tony wanted to make it without any help from JARVIS, because he was hoping to prove to you that he was a great dad for Alex because your rarely leave her alone with him and I'm so sorry we screwed up and please don't go too hard on him. He loves you and Alex so much. Also wanted to let you know we got a call from Steve earlier today. He and Sam are going to be stopping in for a bit next week while they continue to look for Steve's missing friend. Tony will probably forget to tell you so I thought that I should. Once again I apologize for helping Tony trash your kitchen. Have a goodnight Pepper. Give Alex a hug for me. -Rhodey" Pepper rolls her eyes, she should have told JARVIS not to leave her husband unsupervised. Well now she knows for next time. Pepper texts Rhodey back,

"Thank you for helping Tony watch Alex today. She can be a handful she got Tony's stubbornness and his energy level. Tony cleaned the kitchen and we got a pizza. Thanks for telling me about Steve, I'll have JARVIS air out some rooms for him and Sam. Thank you for your apology Rhodey. Have a good night."

Flynn and Rapunzel had just sung a duet and strangely neither Tony nor Alex bad sung along. Turning her head Pepper gets a warm feeling in her stomach as she sees her husband and daughter have fallen asleep.

"JARVIS, may you please turn the television off?" Pepper says still gushing inside over the cute sight next to her on the couch. Easily scooping her young daughter up into her arms, Pepper tiptoes to her Alex's unusually bright room and tucks her into bed. Pressing a kiss to Alex's head and whispering how much she loves her, Pepper goes to find her husband. Now awake Tony is waiting for her in the movie room.

"Pepper I'm sorry about the kitchen I will make it up to you, I'll-" he doesn't finish as Pepper cuts him off pressing her lips to his.

"Our daughter is asleep, we don't have any of the Avengers staying here tonight, and neither of us have any work that is due tomorrow morning. I can think of many ways you can make this up to me." Pepper smiles almost wickedly as she slowly walks towards their room, cocking an eyebrow as Tony quickly sprints by her.

"What are you waiting for lets go Pepp!"

Virginia Pepper Potts smiles after her husband and realizes that no matter what sort of messes her family gets into, she would never have them any other way.

Sorry about the wait, its just that I have all these ideas, but I am not very good at actually getting them out of my head and onto paper (or computer screen). I was actually working on a Disney Arrangement for my music class and I had just gotten to Tangled when my brothers almost blew up the kitchen, so that's how this chapter came into existence.

I'm hoping to do more flashes, but centered around specific Avengers like babysitting or something. I don't know yet, I've already kinda got basic plots for Thor and Steve. We'll see what happens.
