We'll Always Have Paris


As the screen went black at last and the black and white movie ended, Pepper felt Tony move under her weight.

"This Rick truly loves his woman" he stated looking at her with wide and sincere eyes.

Pepper raised her head from his lap and looked at him with interest, raising an eyebrow.

"What?"

"I'd prefer a million times for you to be safe away from me, than having you near and in danger, Pep" he said with a mixture of sadness and worry on his face.

"We'll always have Paris, Uh?" she asked amused.

"I'm being serious here, honey. I'll never forgive myself if anything bad happens to you. To both of you" he clarified stroking gently her eight months pregnant bump and resting his palm there. "I'm scared"

"Don't be. We'll be fine. Nothing bad is gonna happen, Tony"

He relaxed a bit. Suddenly, the baby kicked at his gentle touch.

"Hey there, Rosie! You awake?" he smiled sheepishly.

The only answer he got was another kick on his palm, a little softer than the first.

"I think that's her way to say: Daddy! Don't worry, we'll be fine" said Pepper smiling broadly at him, enlacing her fingers over his hand.

He mirrored her smile, lowered down his head and kissed her softly in the lips. When they parted again, he looked fondly into her soft and beautiful blue eyes.

"She's already so smart, just like her mother"


The title for this ficlet comes from the movie "Casablanca" Tony and Pepper were watching on their TV and it's a direct reference to it ;)

My first attempt of writting some sort of Pepperony fanfiction in English ;) I know it's too short but I don't feel comfortable writting in English. It's hard and I feel the text is so poor in content...

Sorry If there are mistakes. English is not my native language and I don't have quite a great use of the words in it.

Thanks for reading, anyway! :D
