A/N: Merry Christmas Everyone! This was quite a hastily written chapter so I apologize profusely for any errors of any kind. Merry Christmas to everyone! Have a great one!

He awoke to sunlight pouring into the room and the memorable hushed melody of John Lennon's 'So this is Christmas' playing through the speakers of their room. He smiled feeling that clichéd feeling that only came every festive season.

He wiped the sleep and dreams away from his face and glanced around the room in search for her. He found her sitting at her desk busily scribbling on a piece of paper. He raised a brow and smirked, deciding this was the perfect opportunity to stealthily make his way to her and kiss her senselss.

As efficiently as he could he moved from the bed. Carefully peeling the covers away from his body and sliding off the bed in a very stealthy style. He peered at her and when she indifferently scribbled on the piece of paper, he went in for his prey. On his hands and knees he crawled, and came to a quiet stop behind her. He carefully stood up and leaned forward as he pressed a hand either side of her, trapping her body between him and the desk.

"Mhmm..." he hummed as he pressed a kiss at the side of her neck, "Merry Christmas, Pep."

She laughed a little and turned to him. "I knew I heard the blankets shuffling."

"Should have stayed in bed with me," he murmured and continued to press kisses down her neck.

"Any minute now your son is going to be awake and demanding for his presents," she mumbled as she slightly moaned at his kisses.

He sighed and pressed a lingering and longing final kiss at her shoulder. "Later then."

"Mhmm...sounds like a plan," she murmured.

"What's this?" he asked, glancing at the neatly wrapped present sitting between her hands.

"For you," she said softly.

He frowned when she blushed a little.

"I thought we agreed...no presents but a lot of getting naked on Christmas night after Jared's asleep?"

She laughed and nodded, "Yes but it's one of those things, you know, when you really have to just wrap it up."

"Hmm...I'm curious now," he mumbled and stretched a hand forward to touch the present.

"You can open it now," she said softly.

"Shouldn't we open it with Jared and the rest of the presents?" he asked.

She smiled endearingly at him and shook her head. "Open it now."

"Alright," he murmured as he began to peel the paper from the present.

"You've never peeled the wrapping before," she noted.

"I know...I'm trying to tease you."

"Well, it's working."

He chuckled and peeled the rest of the paper from the present. The white box was ordinary he thought and he frowned at it as he unlatched the top and pulled out the contents of the box. It looked like a glasses case and he frowned further.

"You got me glasses?"

"What? No...Open it," she instructed.

He opened the glasses box and paused. In all its glory and magnificence, in the centre of the glasses box sat a very visible pen shaped stick. But the part that caught his eye was the notable plus printed in the middle the stick and a little piece of paper written with her hand writing.

Merry Christmas Daddy

The smile curled at his lips instantly and he turned to her and murmured, "Really? How long?"

"Two months," she replied softly.

"But you still drank champagne and wine at the Christmas parties," he noted.

She smiled sheepishly. "Actually, Natalie helped me out there."

"What? She knew?"

"I had too," she said softly and touched his cheek, "Merry Christmas, Tony."

"And here I thought you were having an affair with Natalie."

"Tony," she gasped and swatted his arm.

"Well, I had a sneaking suspicion it was this and I was very tempted to ask Jarvis to check it out."

"But?"

"It wouldn't be fair to you and I trust you would have told me when you were ready."

She looked at him in that very endearing way of hers for a moment before she smiled and leaned in to kiss him.

"I love you, Tony," she murmured as she kissed him.

He sighed and smiled against her lips. "I love you too."

"And we're not naming our baby Rocket Bullet Stark."

"Uh huh...I bet Jared would beg to differ, he would have loved the name Rocket instead of Jared."

"You're incorrigible."

"I know," he sighed dramatically, "But you love me anyway."

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
