Someone Like You
A/N: This chapter is based on what I would think would be their many joint announcements through out the years from first getting together through to the announcement of their first child. Please enjoy! Inspired by Adele's Someone Like You.

"Tony Stark also known as Ironman has changed his relationship status from 'single' to 'in a relationship'. There is no confirmation on who he is in a relationship with but sources close to Tony Stark theorize that it is Stark's former PA and now CEO of his company, Pepper Potts."
Tony smirked at his official Facebook page, which had blown up in the last few hours from his Facebook announcement and he couldn't help but enjoy the carnage. His girlfriend of three months, Pepper Potts, was rolling her eyes but he knew she wasn't bothered by it, knowing that it had been her idea to start with.
"What should we say in the announcement?" Pepper asked him, as she looked at her own official Facebook page. She never used her Facebook a lot, only to make announcements for the company but she knew Tony always shared something funny or heartfelt on his page.
"Just wing it, Pepper, it's not a big deal. We know we're in a relationship, this is just a curtesy for the public. They're already guessing that it's us anyway so it's not going to be such a big shock." Tony told her simply.
"When you put it like that…" Pepper mumbled before taking a deep breath and she started typing. Tony was reading it over her shoulder and he couldn't help but laugh at the bluntness. She had changed her relationship status from single to in a relationship and she started writing up a post.
As most of the world has guessed correctly, Tony and myself are in a romantic relationship and have been dating for three months. We ask for privacy at this time as we just enjoy being a couple together and we thank you all for the well wishes. I'd also like to share one of my favourite photos of us together. Please enjoy. -Pepper Potts and Tony Stark.
The photo she shared with the post was one Rhodey had taken of the two of them, sleeping on the couch. Tony was on the bottom, his mouth slightly opened, an arm wrapped around her and Pepper was lying on top of him, her head on his chest.
"Do you like it?" Pepper asked. Tony smiled at her, kissing her on the lips.
"I think it's very us, Ms Potts." Tony replied and Pepper logged out of Facebook before turning her attention back to Tony and they didn't worry about the masses of people finding out about them for the next few hours.
"It is rumoured that Tony Stark and Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, are engaged after Potts was seen walking around New York with what was once Tony Stark's mother's, Maria Stark, engagement ring on her ring finger. The pair have been together since 2010 and it was also recently the CEO's birthday a few days ago. The pair have not officially confirmed or denied the rumours."
Tony smirked as he took a picture of Pepper's hand as she slept. She was exhausted and she had immediately crashed on the couch when she had gotten home. Tony was now bored and figured that the time was right to announce to the world that they were engaged. They had already told the Avengers and Shield, Pepper didn't have any biological family she talked to and Tony only had a few money hungry cousins left so they had no one else to tell personally.
If you like you should've put a ring on it. Oh wait, I did. Pepper Potts and myself are officially engaged, just as you have all guessed correctly. -Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
Tony couldn't help but laugh as he tagged his fiancée in the post and uploaded the picture on his Facebook account. He watched as the post blew up in front of him and within two hours had gotten over a million likes.
Telling Pepper when she woke up was interesting and she laughed, rolled her eyes good naturedly and went about her night as usual. Tony couldn't help but feel impressed. He was only a step closer to marrying Pepper now.
"Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are now married. Their wedding was scheduled to happen five days before Tony Stark's birthday, which is May 29th. The couple is yet to release an official statement or photographs but are rumoured to have gotten married in Italy, in a small town where his mother was originally from and are also rumoured to be travelling to the Maldives for their two week honeymoon."
Tony Stark looked over at his wife, who was lounging in the chair on the private jet Tony had ordered from Italy to the Maldives. He was also looking at the pictures the photographer had released for the wedding and he couldn't help but smile at every single one of them. Pepper looked absolutely beautiful in every single one, she was as radiant as the sun.
"What are you smiling at?" Pepper asked, looking over at him.
"The photos came through, come have a look." Tony told her and she immediately got up and walked over to him, examining the wedding photos in detail. Tony was still smiling after she stopped looking at the photos and his wife looked at him in curiosity.
"What's wrong?" Pepper asked. Tony shook his head and just grabbed her hand.
"I love you, that's all. Look at these amazing pictures of you. You took the spotlight." Tony told her simply. Pepper blushed but kissed him deeply.
"How about we put a couple of photos up, make an announcement and then we can go sleep before we land." Pepper flirted with him. Tony smirked at her, kissing her.
"I like that idea, very much." Tony flirted back.
As of the 24th of May, 2014, Pepper and myself are officially married. We would like to thank you all for your support and we are extremely excited to be married and to begin the next phase of our lives. We would also like to share some of our wedding pictures with you from our Italian wedding. Thank you all again for the support we have received. -Tony and Pepper Stark.
"It is reported that Pepper Stark has gone into labour with her first child as Tony Stark is away on a mission in Mexico with his teammates. The labour comes as Mrs Stark is in her thirty-fourth week. There has been no official statement yet."
Tony looked down at his daughter, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms as his wife was still asleep after the emergency surgery she had just endured. She had gotten an emergency hysterectomy done and she stilled hadn't woken up from all the drugs. He was still in shock over the fact that his wife had given birth so early and he had been away on a mission with the Avengers at the time in Mexico. He couldn't help but feel incredibly guilty over the fact that she had gone through it without him there by her side.
A few days later, Pepper was up and talking, and Tony couldn't help but smile at her strength she gave off. His wife was so strong and so very amazing.
Our daughter was born at thirty- four weeks and both my wife and I are thankful for all the well wishes we have received. Zoe, the name we have given our daughter, will be in NICU for a few more weeks before we take her home. We thank you all again for the wishes and we ask for privacy as we help our daughter navigate life. -Tony and Pepper Stark.
Underneath was a photo, of Zoe clutching Tony's hand with her little fingers, the photo only focusing on the two hands. The picture was framed in Tony's workshop and put on his desk.
A/N: It's another short chapter from me again! I didn't think that this particular chapter needed to be long, it just needed to show the Pepperony love and spirit.
