A/N: Well, Iv'e promised a second part of the epilogue, and here it is~
It was a month after they honeymoon, and despise Tony's wishes, Steve returned to work.
Tony always hoped that Steve would understand that he doesn't need to work since they got enough money. But Steve didn't want to relay only on Tony's money, he wanted to do something as well.
It'd be his birthday in about two weeks, and he hoped it'd be a better birthday than the other ones when Bucky found a cupcake in the kitchen and they shared it together.
"Excuse me...?" Someone pulled Steve's pants. Steve looked down and saw a little kid. He looked kind of bad. He was dirty, his hair was messy and his clothes were torn in some places.
Steve told the customers to wait and knelt in front of the kid. "What is it?"
"Do you have something to eat...?" The little boy asked in hope like voice. Steve shook his head, he felt sorry for the poor kid.
"I'm sorry...where's your mom?" The kid shook his head.
"What about you father?" He shook his head again.
"Are you alone...?" A nod. Steve felt even sorrier for the kid. He was all alone and not only that he lived on the street, although he was supposed to be in an orphanage in that case.
But he decided not to ask the kid, he had a better idea.
"Tell you what, why won't I buy you something?" Steve smiled lightly. The boy nodded again. "How old are you...?
"five..." The boy said quietly. Steve walked into the shop, telling the owned he's taking a few minutes break before walking with the kid.
"So, what happened to you sweetie..?" Steve asked as the kid ate.
"I'm an orphan, mommy and daddy left me alone.. They were in a plane and never came back.. So I'm all alone…"
"Ow...I'm sorry..." Steve patted his head lightly, "don't you have family relatives?" He asked hopefully. He didn't want to leave the kid all alone.
The kid shook his head.
Steve looked at him in worry. He knew what it's like to be all alone, with no one to take care of you...
He was by himself as well but he was older than 5 years old, he could take care of himself but this kid…he can do nothing.
"Thank you for the food sir..." The kid thanked Steve when he finished eating.
"What's your name?" Steve asked in wonder.
"Peter..."
Steve took a napkin and wiped the corner of Peter's mouth. He wished he could do something for him...
Maybe he should talk with Tony..?
"Hey Peter, do you want to help me around the shop for a bit?" Steve smiled. Peter nodded, smiling back. No one ever been this kind to him..
"Hey Tony, do you have time?" Steve asked as he looked at Peter who was looking at the flowers.
'For you, anytime.'
"Listen...I found a kid outside, he asked food. I feel so sorry for him, he's an orphan and he got no place to stay. What should I do?"
Steve heard how Tony sigh, 'You have a really pure heart sweetie..' Steve blushed lightly, 'well, bring him to our home and then we'll see what to do.'
"Okay. I'll finish working in a few."
'Bye sweetie, love you.'
"Love you too..." Steve smiled lightly and hung up.
"Was it sir's girlfriend?" Peter asked in wonder as Steve made him sit next to the cashier. Steve shook his head.
"It's was my husband."
"You're married?"
Steve nodded as he made a towel wet and started cleaning Peter's face.
"It hurts..." Peter complained as Steve rubbed his cheeks in order to get the dirt off.
"I'm sorry, but you'll look cuter if you'll be cleaner~"
Peter pouted.
"Stubborn child?" A woman that walked in smiled.
"Indeed." Steve smiled lightly and kissed Peter's cheek.
"You have a lovely kid."
"Oh..." Steve looked at Peter, "thank you miss. May I help you somehow?"
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you to my home." Steve smiled lightly.
By the time Tony came back from work Steve already cleaned Peter, washed his hair, dresses him in new clothes and made him something to eat.
When Tony got home, the both of them sitting on the couch watching a movie.
"I'll be back soon..." Steve kissed Peter's head and stood up to greet Tony.
"Welcome back..~" he smiled and kissed his husband.
"Hi honey. So, where's the kid?"
"He's on the couch, watching a movie." Steve walked with Tony to the living room.
"Who is it?" Peter asked in light worry when he saw Tony. Steve sat next to Peter. "It's Tony, my husband…" he kissed Peter's head.
"Hey..." Tony knelt next to the couch, "I'm Tony Stark, it's nice to meet you..."
Peter got closer to Steve, worried a bit. He didn't like strangers.
"Don't sorry Pete, Tony is a nice guy…" Steve smiled lightly.
"Really...?"
Steve nodded. Peter looked at Tony.
"I don't bite, really..." Tony smiled lightly, "now, why won't you tell me what happened?"
"My parents died and I have no other family. I live on the street for six months."
Steve looked at Peter in worry and hugged him. Peter yawned.
"Honey, put him to sleep."
Steve nodded and took Peter upstairs.
"What should we do Tony..?" Steve asked as he and Tony cuddled on the couch, "he's all alone...I know I can't ask you to do something since you done for me more than enough but I feel so sorry for him..."
"Well.. He looks like a nice and cute kid and I did say I wanted to start a family with you someday…" Tony smiled.
Steve looked at him surprised. "So can we..."
Tony nodded. Steve hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you so much..!" He kissed Tony's cheek a few times. Tony laughed. He was glad Steve us happy, that's all he wants for the guy.
"Anything for you sweetie~" he kissed Steve, "I love you, I want you to be happy..."
"It's an unfair relationship..." Steve pouted. Tony kissed him again.
"Let's go to sleep."
"Good morning~" Steve smiled as Peter came to the kitchen, "I made breakfast."
Peter yawned and nodded. He sat next to the table and Steve put a plate in front of him. "I hope you'd like it."
"Thank you Mr." Peter said and started to eat.
"Steve, call me Steve." Steve smiled and kissed Peter's head.
"Did you tell him the news yet?" Tony asked as he came to the dining room. Steve shook his head.
"Not yet.."
Peter looked at them in wonder. Steve smiled lightly and he and Tony sat next to the table as well.
"We talked about the situation yesterday, and we decided to ask you if you want to live with us." Steve suggested. He wanted to give a home for this kid so much, he didn't know him well, but he looked so adorable and he was all alone…
"We'd take care of everything you need." Tony added, "room, clothes, whatever you want." He smiled lightly. Before he met Steve, he never thought about having kids, not even once. But now…he wanted this. He wanted a family with Steve.
Peter looked at them surprised. He lived on a street for half a year, he asked from thousands of people for food, and they usually gave him bit money or leftover or a sandwich if they had.
But…they never bought him food like Steve did…or gave him a home…
"You want to adopt me...?" He asked. Tony and Steve nodded.
"Of course, it's just a suggestion.." Steve hurried to say when he saw that Peter isn't saying a thing, "but we'd be happy to adopt you."
Peter nodded and started to sob, Steve and Tony smiled lightly and stood up to hug him.
"Thank you Tony..." Steve said quietly and kissed his husband, "welcome to the family Pete~"
"We'll make sure you got anything you want." Tony promised. Peter didn't say anything. He just cried.
Steve and Tony smiled lightly and kissed his head.
"We finally have a family..." Steve said quietly.
That's what each and every one of them wanted, a family. And now, they had it. Steve had an amazing husband and a kid, Tony finally was with his loved one and Peter had new parents after half a year he was on his own...
"Now, finish your breakfast and then we all go and buy new things for you." Steve smiled.
"We also need to buy furniture for your new bedroom." Tony said and kissed Peters head. Peter nodded and calmed himself down.
Steve wiped his tears and smiled lightly. "It's okay."
Peter nodded and continued eating.
"So, did you enjoy today?~" Steve asked Peter as the three of them sat down to eat in one of the fast food shops.
Peter nodded and smiled. He didn't have such a fun day for the past half year. He was hungry, he was cold, he couldn't find any clothes after his own ruined and not once he met really scary people.
But it ended up well because he met two kind people.
Steve smiled and patted his head. "I'm glad you enjoyed." Peter reminded him himself. They both had no one, and they both met a person to care about them and take them out.
"It sure brings memories..." Tony sighed amused. Steve looked at him confused. "The first time you saw the ocean. You also looked like it..~"
Steve blushed lightly, Peter yawned.
Steve smiled at him, "You must be tired." Peter nodded as he rubbed his eye.
"We'll go home soon sweetie." Steve smiled and patted Peter's head, "tomorrow we're going to get the furniture, so you'll sleep with me and Tony for a while. Okay?"
Peter nodded.
"Okay, it's ready~" Tony moved his hand away from Peter's eyes. Peter looked around him. The room was really big. All the furniture were moved out and instead a double sized bed that was matching for someone in his age was brought in, a new wardrobe night stand with a lap, a desk with a computer and a library of books. The room was also re-colored, rugs were brought in, a few bean bags were next to the library and curtains on the glass window.
Peter looked amazed at it. He never had such a huge room with so many stuff. He looked at his new parents who looked back at him and hugged them tightly. Tony and Steve smiled and hugged him back.
"We're glad you like it~" Tony said.
"Thank you so much..!" Peter thanked them.
Tony and Steve smiled at their adoptive son.
"Tony..." Steve suddenly said, Tony looked at his husband, "does it mean I have to quit my job?" Steve sighed. He lifted his son and kissed his cheek. "When is your birthday?" He smiled lightly. Peter shook his head.
"You don't know?" Tony asked a bit surprised. Peter shook his head again.
"I'll check everything." Tony took Peter from Steve, "let's go, I'll show you my lab~"
"Okay...Peter Parker, born on 15 August, to Richard and Mary Parker." Tony looked at his husband.
Peter walked around the laboratory, looking at all the stuff Tony had there while Tony and Steve discovered more about their new adopted kid.
They found out that he does have family relatives and decided that the right thing would be to talk with them about it, and with Peter.
Steve was worried though. What if Peter would prefer staying with them? He really liked the kid and he didn't want him to leave.
"We have to do the right thing..." Tony said quietly and kissed him, "we can always adopt another kid, don't worry honey..."
Steve nodded, though he still wasn't sure about it.
"Peter, dress up, we're going to visit your uncle and aunt." Steve smiled lightly at Peter as he finished eating. Peter nodded and stood up, walking to his room.
They called Peter's uncle and aunt a few days ago, telling them they found the son of Richard and Mary. The couple agreed to see them and Peter, they sounded happy to hear that. Steve guessed that they'd want to keep Peter, and legally, that was the right thing to do since they were his family, not him and Tony...
Steve sighed. Tony hugged him from behind. "Relax sweetie...don't worry."
"I'm not..." Steve said quietly and finished washing the dishes, "I just...I don't know..."
"Don't worry."
Steve nodded.
"Hey. Are you May and Ben Parker?" Tony asked as a couple opened the door. They nodded.
"We talked with you on the phone a while ago. I'm Tony stark."
"Oh, come in." They let the three of them get into the house.
"Do you want something to eat?" May suggested as they made their way to the living room.
Steve and Tony shook their heads. "Are you hungry Pete?" Steve asked Peter. Peter nodded. May smiled at Peter and walked with him to the kitchen in order to give him food.
"So that's Peter?" May asked. Steve nodded.
"I found him on the street, he was asking for food. He told me his parents died a year ago…"
"That's true. Mary and Richard died a year ago in a terrible plan crash."
"The thing is," Tony started to say, "that we adopted him. My husband, he got a really kind heart and he didn't want to leave him on the street. So we came here to ask, do you want Peter to live with you? He knows who you two are and he agreed to meet you today, we didn't as his opinion yet but we wanted to know what you think about this situation.
"Well, Peter is family." May said, "And we believe that Mary and Richard would want him to stay with his family but, maybe the two of you would be a better family for him."
Steve and Tony exchanged looks. Steve was happy, he did want to have Peter with him, but he felt like it's wrong to keep him while he got his family.
"Peter?" Steve walked to the kitchen to check if Peter finished eating. Peter looked at him in wonder. Steve sat down next to the table and wiped the corner of Peter's mouth. "Do you want to live with your family?"
Peter looked like he's considering it for while and then he shook his head. "No."
"Are you sure? You wanted a family."
"But you are my family now." Peter said and hugged Steve, "you and Mr. Stark are my dads now."
Steve smiled lightly and hugged Peter back, kissing his head lightly. He got now the family he hoped for. Even though it wasn't his original plan, he thought he'd die, that he'd end next to Bucky, that he won't find love because nobody would even look at him when he was skinny and sick.
Steve told Ben and May Peter's decision, and they agreed to let Steve and Tony officially adopt Peter as their so. They trusted them to take a good care of him but only if they'd see him on weekends which was completely fine with Tony and Steve.
Steve thanked them for giving them this chance, and Peter thanked them too. He was happy he'd live with Tony and Steve, they were the most kind people he ever met until now.
They stayed for another few hours before going back home. They thanked May and Ben again for letting them adopt Peter and having them over.
Peter fell asleep on their way back home. Steve looked at him and smiled.
"Tony…"
"Yes?"
Steve pressed a kiss on Tony's cheek. "I love you. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't bump into you that day…"
Tony smiled lightly. "I love you too. You are the best thing that happened to me."
A/N: Peter is the only kid for Tony and Steve for me :)
