so we all remember last chapter were bruce remembers almost killing bella right? well, i couldn't take it anymore so i wrote this chapter and finished it with some love X3 and some fluff ;) but mostly love 3 so let's see what we got!


Chapter 22

Bella woke up next to Tony as usual and decided to fix breakfast. She skipped down the stairs and decided to make chocolate chip pancakes, when the phone rang. She picked up the phone and held it between her shoulder and her ear.

"Hello"

"Uh, hello? Bella"

"Err, hi Bruce. How are you"(...awkward...) she asked trying to be polite and hide her fear, though it was ridiculous. Bruce was a good friend of Tony who talked highly of. Tony wouldn't trust Bruce if he wasn't. But she couldn't stop seeing those images. Seeing his hand choke her without a second glance was too much. But he had taken her to the medical base and hadn't left her side till she had woke up. That counted for something didn't it?

"I'm fine. And you"

"I'm good. Listen Tony's still in bed, want me to pass a message"

"Oh no. I was just calling to see if he left for SI yet, that's all" he said "Bella? While I have you here, I wanted to apologize for what happened"

"It's okay, it wasn't you fault"

"Yes it was. I should have listened to you and realized that you were there to help me. I'm so so sorry"

"It's really fine Bruce. I forgive you" she said and she meant it. (yay! no more awkwardness XD)Just hearing the hurt and pain in his voice was too much. She really did forgive him.

"Really? Thanks" he sighed "You don't how great it makes me feel to hear you say that"

"I can guess" she laughed "So when Tony wakes up I'll tell him that you…"

"Wanted to make sure he hadn't left yet"

"Got it. I'll talk to you later Bruce"

"Cool. See ya Bella" she hung up the phone and sighed. She was happy that she and Bruce made up after all this time, both of them earning some peace of mind.

"Ma'am, Mr. Stark is currently waking up. If you want to be successful with whatever your doing, I suggest you hurry" Jarvis said

"Kay. Ummm… tell him that I said wait upstairs till I come up" she said

"Yes ma'am" he said

Back upstairs Tony was starting to get out of bed, when Jarvis called him.

"Sir? Ms. Swan has asked that you stay upstairs until she says so" Jarvis said

"Okay. She didn't say why did she" he asked already knowing the answer.

"No she didn't, sir" Jarvis answered

"Okay. Only one thing to do at a time like this" Tony sighed. He flopped down on the bed, grabbed the remote and turned the TV.(lazy tonyXD)

"Of course, sir. Nothing better to do than watch television" Jarvis sarcastically

"Remind me to take out your sense of sarcasm" Tony huffed

"I'll do that. I'll also remind you to tell Ms. Swan that you did so"

"Shut up" Tony said upset that he was defeated by his AI, that he created. Life was so unfair.

Bella came upstairs and poked her head in smiling when she Tony laying down on the bed bored out of his mind.

"You still alive over there" she teased

"Barely. A certain someone had me on the verge of death over here" he said propping up on one arm turning to face her.

"Aww. Well, as an apology I bring food" she said walking in with a tray of breakfast.

"Awesome! Breakfast" he screamed

"Jeez Tony! You make it sound like I don't feed you" she said feigning hurt

"I am not! I just really like it when you make breakfast since you're the only person in this house with cooking skills" he answered

"Well you're going to love this" she smiled handing him the plate of chocolate chip pancakes. His eyes lit up with childlike fascination.

"Chocolate" he screamed

"Somebody likes chocolate" she sang as she sat down beside him. She watched as he devoured his pancakes in less than 10 minutes(okay so at some point of time we've all seen a baby do this right? cuz if so that's what this is supposed to look like). She laughed at the big mess of chocolate that was covering his mouth.

"What" he asked. Bella stared at him for a moment, before bursting into laughter. "Is there something on my face"

"Something on your face is an understatement" she choked out. He got up and walked into the bathroom. He looked at his chocolate covered face before laughing. He cleaned up his face and walked back in. Bella took deep breaths and sat up. She looked Tony and he smiled at her. Her smile faltered and she broke into laughter again.

"Okay, that's it" he said before running over and tickling her. She laughed for God knows how long until he stopped. "I bet you won't laugh at me now, huh"

"No promises" she gasped. He kissed her lightly before it turned into something more deep. She pulled away for a few deep breaths and he kissed her neck. "Uh… Bruce… SI… meeting up…"

"Do I look like I care at the time being" he asked. Bella bit her lip knowing she was going to give. It's not like she wasn't going to anyways, her will power to Tony when he was in the mood was sexy and contagious(hehehe...sexy tony). He kissed her and she cursed mentally. This round goes to Tony Stark and his sexy impenetrable gaze of lust(well, i guess we know whose bring sexy back now XD).

Bella laid on Tony's chest pretty content with happiness. He brushed the hair out of her face and she smiled up at him. He kissed her nose sweetly and she squirmed from the ticklish feeling of his goatee. He pulled up at her and his smile turned into a smirk.

"Now aren't you glad that I didn't go meet Bruce at SI" he asked. She reached behind him to grab a pillow and she smacked him with it. He smiled and grabbed a pillow. It wasn't long when they had started a pillow fight. She slipped out of bed and ran towards the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She pulled out her spare clothes that she kept and got dressed. When she finished she walked out and found Tony getting dressed too. He looked up and smiled at her and motioned to the mess of feathers behind him. "Are you going to help me clean this"

"Yeah sure" she smiled "But how about we take care of it later and get rolling"

"Ma'am yes ma'am" he smiled. She rolled her eyes and turned towards the door. "Wait a sec" She paused and turned around.

"I love you" he smiled. She couldn't help the fact that he looked like a small child when he said this, as if she had given him his first race car or trip to the zoo.

"I love you too. Now get dressed" she said

"Yes ma'am" he saluted and went to go get dressed. She shook her head and walked out the room. She loved Tony and everything about him. The way she made her smile, they way he held her close at night, they way he made all her worries go away, how he acted like a child, how he smiled at her that made her heart melt, and the lust filled glaze he give her that made her forget everything in the world. How he made it seem like no one else existed in the world. She loved it. She loved him. She smiled as she climb down the stairs with happiness. Nothing could ruin her happiness. But then again, all heart-wrenching pain and agony must happen before the happily ever after.
