So I'm back with another chapter. The cover was made by _teenages on Wattpad. So, let's just get to the story.

~Chapter 1~

2013

Tony threw himself into his work, working on a few inventions. He was working on building a more complex robot. Sure, he had robot arms, but other people were already working on cyborg-like robots."Sir, would you like me to make you some food?" Jarvis asked, his voice coming through the speakers. "Yeah, whatever Jarvis. Tony answered, only half paying attention. His brain didn't even register that he hadn't eaten since Pepper had picked up Pizza the night before. Pepper was still asleep, sleeping off her food coma. She was tossing and turning, trashing around in her bed. Jarvis set the kitchen to make an egg white omelet with mushrooms, spinach, and other veggies for Tony. Once his food was done, a motorized cart brought it to Tony. Tony took the plate and the orange juice, picking at the omelet and guzzling the juice. "Sir, is the food acceptable?" Jarvis asked. "It's fine Jarvis." Tony said. Jarvis then turned off. Tony continued eating, making sure not to spill his orange juice. He put his dishes back on the cart when he was done, which brought the dishes back to the kitchen. Tony yawned. He was tired because even though he had fallen asleep at 8:30, he had woken up at 2:30 am. Not that he minded of course, after all he was used to staying up late and waking up early or vice versa.

Tony sighed as he monotonously worked on the prototype of the robot. He sighed deeply as the thought of Alexander crept into his mind. He was Iron Man fod God's sake, yet he couldn't forget something that happened almost 16 years ago for fucking crying out loud. Tony did love his late son, but whenever he thought about Alexander, he thought about Hannah. Hannah. She was his first true love. Tony had met Hannah at first because she was studying to be a Chemist. Even then, they instantly clicked. Hannah even said yes when Tony asked her out, and not just because he was the heir to Stark Industries. Tony got a lot of women that just wanted to date him for his money. They always just ended up as a quick fuck.

Those women didn't mean a thing to Tony, he just needed an escape. Of course, Tony was careful. He always used condoms and never went bareback even if he knew the person. After all, you can never truly know someone these days. Even with Tony being a little bit of a player, there were a lot of untrue stories out there. More false stories than true even. But with him and Hannah, Tony was lucky that the press hadn't found out about Alexander. That would have been horrible. Alexander would have been 16 years old by now. Tony felt terrible. He wished he could have done more to help. After all, Alex was only an innocent premature newborn. He was only on earth for a few hours, but Tony knew how much his little soul had at least impacted Hannah.

Tony didn't exactly believe in God, but he knew that you had to go somewhere, at least somewhere, when you died. For starters, there were a few cases with definite evidence of ghosts Tony was thankful that his father hadn't become a ghost when he died. If Howard was a ghost, then he would haunt Tony for eternity. Tony shuddered at the thought. His father was a horrible man, and if Tony actually had kids, well now more kids, he knew that he wouldn't want to be like Howard. To this day, Tony still blamed Howard for his mother's death.

"Good morning sir." Pepper greeted once she came downstairs just to tease Tony. How many times have I told you to just call me Tony?" Tony joked. Pepper smiled at Tong softly, covering her mouth as she giggled. Tony chuckled, grabbing coffee from his coffee pot. God, she's so beautiful. He thought. Pepper blushed, almost as if she had read his mind. Tony sipped his coffee, watching how Pepper's slightly wavy blonde hair bounced as she talked. Pepper glanced at Tony. "Tony, are you alright?" She asked. Tony nodded. "Yeah, I'm absolutely fine." He half- lied. Pepper nodded slightly. "Have you thought about anything for the company?" Pepper inquired. "I want to build a robot." Tony said blatantly. "Oh." Pepper said, her mouth forming an 'o' shape. Tony nodded. "Other scientists have started working on things beyond robot arms and robot vacuum cleaners. I have competition." Pepper just nodded again, having been aware of this. "Even though I hate my father, I have to keep this company running." Tony said. "It's my life now." Pepper sighed. "You need to know that I'll support you no matter what you do." She said, gently placing her hand on Tony's shoulder. Tony nodded. "I still want this company." He told Pepper. Pepper nodded. "I was just letting you know." Tony nodded again, looking at his notes. "So..." Pepper trailed off. Tony shrugged. "Did you sleep well?" He asked Pepper, glancing at her briefly. "I did, thank you." Pepper answered as Tony continued working.

Serina panted as she ran on the treadmill. It was so much harder to train while pregnant, let alone being pregnant let alone being pregnant again so soon after having the first baby. "Faster, you need to do this!" The trainer bellowed. I'm trying. Serina thought sourly. She slowed down as she felt the familier cramp, not wanting to hurt the tiny baby in her stomach. "Don't you slow down on me!" The evil witch barked at her. Serina wanted to scream. It was her body, let alone her baby. But if she screamed, then she would get punished. The punishments were always terrible. They were also worse for the girls than the boys. Serina finally just shut the treadmill off. "You can't do that!" The fat lady yelled at Serina. "I've been working out for fifty five minutes and I need to check on my daughter." Serina held her ground. "Fine, but I expect to see you here tomorrow." Serina just nodded before limping back to her room. She was relieved when she saw that Marie was still sound asleep in her crib. Serina didn't want her to go missing or be taken. She was also glad that Marie was still asleep, because otherwise she would be sitting there crying with a full diaper until Serina had come back from training.

Serina gently scooped Marie into her arms, being careful not to wake her as she checked her diaper before changing it. "Wow you had a full diaper." She joked as she washed her hands before sitting down in her old rocking chair. It was the only piece of nice furniture she had. Serina held Marie close as she began to breastfeed her. "Mama love you so much, always remember that." She whispered, tears running down her face as she switched Marie to her other breast. Serina bit her lip in pain as she felt another cramp. She thought about praying to not have a miscarriage, but she knew that praying was no use. It never worked. She was only six weeks pregnant. Serina knew exactly when she would have conceived. Once Marie was done eating, she played with her a little bit before laying her back down in her crib. Even though she didn't want to, she needed to go the the hospital wing. As Serina suddenly felt dizzy, she held on to the side of the crib. Five and a half month old Marie sucking her thumb was the last thing she saw before she passed out.

*wipes forehead* Wow, this chapter is finally, finally done. I've been writing it at school and I finally finished it early today in Honors American Government because we had the same bitchy sub as last time and I just couldn't focus. And yes, #PepperonyMoment. And a bit of what Teenage Serina's life is like in Faculty XY.

So yeah, I hope you like this chapter and I'll see you in the next one.

Xoxo,

Breana.
