Thanks for the reviews! I do apologise for all and any spelling or grammar mistakes in the previous chapter, I wrote it while half asleep and on a tablet (which is also why the chapter is so short). Again please read and review! (SLIGHT SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IRON MAN 3)

Day 1

It had now been two months, three days, nine hours, thirty minutes and seventeen seconds since the crash and Pepper Potts was currently making her way over to the mansion, which had been rebuilt not long after the events involving the Mandarin in which most of the mansion fell into the sea. For her this was just another normal day which as always would probably begin with sending the clothes of Mr Stark's latest conquest to the dry cleaners before showing the aforementioned conquest to the door. In other words: Taking out the trash.

What Pepper didn't now was that exactly two hours, four minutes and fourth two seconds ago, Tony Stark had only just fallen asleep after attempting to get his son to go back to sleep. After thirty minutes and twelve seconds, he gave up. Instead he decided to read a book to his son until his son fell asleep and, shortly after, he too fell asleep. His trusted A.I JARVIS had alerted him that Pepper was currently making her way to the front door and had tried everything he could to wake his creator however it was of little use as Tony simply mumbled "Mute".

At that very moment, Pepper entered the mansion and started to search the living room for discarded clothes of Tony's latest conquest only to find a few childrens toys that Tony had attempted to hide. Hiding them under the couch, however, is not the best hiding place. Especially when the person searching is the meticulous Pepper Potts. Upon finding the children's toys, Pepper was extremely confused and (after a long internal debate) thought it would be best to just ask her boss why on earth he had them. At this moment, five minutes and seven seconds after Pepper had entered the mansion, she was making her way up the stairs and heading straight for Mr Stark's bedroom then, safe in the knowledge that he didn't have company, she opened the door but was not prepared for what she saw.

Five minutes, thirty two seconds after Tony had told JARVIS to mute and tried to go to sleep again, he was woken by three simple words then the slam of his door : "Oh my god!". He awoke just in time to see that Pepper had just walked into the room then promptly left, almost running away. It was at the same point that the slam of the door woke his son and made him start crying that Tony climbed out of his bed, carrying his now crying son and raced after Pepper as fast as he could.

"Pep wait! Please don't go!" He yelled as he tried to catch up with her and having to try and be louder than his son's cries.

Pepper was in the loving room gathering her things when Tony caught up with her and when Tony continued to ask her to just stay she reluctantly gave in. "What is going on, Tony? Did you steal someone's child?!"

"What?! No! I did not steal someone's child! He's our son!" As soon as the words escaped his mouth he mentally cursed himself for letting that slip, knowing that the doctors said that if there is any hope of recovery then Pepper must remember things in her own time,

"OUR SON?! WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, TONY?!" at this point, Robert started crying even more, practically crying and screaming for his mum, at which Tony turned his attention to him as Pepper continued firing question after question at him.

"It's OK little guy.. Daddy's here.." He stopped himself before he said 'And so is mummy' and simply sighed instead as well his efforts were in vain and the boy continued to cry. Knowing that the boy needed to be held by his mother he tried to persuade Pepper to hold him.

"Look... I'll explain everything if you do this for me... Technically I shouldn't tell you anything but you know I can keep secrets. Come on, Pep... Please? Just while I get him something that might cheer him up.."

".. Fine, but you have some serious explaining to do, Tony" she sighed and took the boy from Tony before he left to get Robert's favourite bear, one that Pepper had previously owned. She sat on the couch with the infant who had already started to calm, gripping onto her blouse with his a small fist. "If Tony really is your dad then he has some serious explaining to do... Unless some woman just left you on his doostep cause they couldn't handle a mini Tony". She chuckled slightly "I don't think the world would be able to cope with two male Starks"

Having retrieved the bear, Tony had walked back towards the living room then paused and watched as Robert started to calm in Pepper's hold then smirked at her last sentence before making his presence known.

"Not the first time I've heard that.. Plus there's always someone to keep an eye on us and keep us out of trouble" he couldn't help but grin as Pepper laughed slightly then sighed, knowing she would want answers about everything.

"He really is my son... His name is Robert... And I know you won't believe me when I say this but you really are his mum" he said while handing the bear to his son, watching as Pepper frowned, guessing she knew it was her bear the infant was now hugging.

"The reason you don't remember is.. You were in a car accident, Pep.."
