Thank you for the favourites and the reviews. I know that the way they acted may have been rediculous and childish or that it's unrealistic for someone to be let out of the hospital so quickly but I wanted to get that part of the story out of the way and move on to what will be the main part of the story. Again thank you and again apologies for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

An evening to remember

A few hours later, after Tony had explained everything to Pepper and even got JARVIS to show images and after Pepper had gone out onto the balcony and cried, the two of them were sitting on the couch with Robert asleep in Tony's arms, hugging his Iron Man plushie tightly (Pepper certainly wasn't surprised to find out that Tony had indeed bought the plushie for their son before he was born because "He just had to have it. It would be crime not to.")

"He helped... In a way" Tony mumbled while looking down at his son and smiling proudly. Pepper, who had also been sat quietly watching the infant she now knew to be her son, looked up at Tony but remained silent, knowing he would continue anyway."I was.. At a loss… For the first time in my life, I had no idea what to do. So I stayed by your bedside day and night for a few weeks... Rhodey brought this little guy in after a few days and we put him in your arms... Hoping that something, a any thing would happen.

There are all those stories on the internet and on the news, stories of mothers coming out of comas thanks to something related to their child. It was the one tiny bit of hope that I climbed to. We would place Rob in your arms for a while each day and then one day the greatest thing happened" He paused and looked up to Pepper and smiled "You moved cause he'd started crying and so we kept doing the same thing every day then finally you woke up." He grinned as he looked back at his son but the expression soon faded and Pepper remembered what he had said about the day she woke up, how she was sedated and could onlynimagine the pain it caused him so simply took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Tony smiled and returned the gentle squeeze "He saved both of us. I honistly can't survive without you... And I couldn't even before we started dating. I didn't even remember getting my social security number" at that Pepper couldn't help but was true and she could hardly believe that he ever managed to cope before he hired her as his P.A. Especially since he thinks his social security number is five and forgot (probably on purpose) almost every single meeting or event that he had to attend a and was important that he did so.

The two continued talking for a few hours before JARVIS interrupted "Sir, I'm afraid Director Fury has asked for you to get to HQ as fast as you can. The Avengers are needed." Tony sighed. Fury always had great timing.

"Just tell him I'm busy.. The rest of the super not-so-secret boy band can deal with it."

"Sir, Director Fury is insisting-"

"Oh, grow a spine, Jarv." Tony refusded to leave now. He was tired and just wanted to stay with Pepper for the evening but Pepper knew he had to go, knew he was needed by the team.

"Tony, you should go. Go save the world" she smiled slightly "Don't worry about me, I'll have a mini Stark to keep an eye on while you are gone. So it womb won't be any different to looking after you" she laughed as he pulled a face then took Robert from him then shoved Tony gently to get him to move. He reluctantly got up then went down to his workshop and suited up before flying off to the hellicarrier to meet with the other avengers while Pepper spent time with Robert.

A.N. Sorry it's another short chapter but I hope you enjoyed it and again please read and review!
