The Adopted Little Spider

Chapter 7: Father and Son

The next morning was the morning that Tony was supposed to return from India meaning it was the end of the Avengers time with little Peter. It may have only been a little over twenty four hours but all of them loved their time with the happy little spider. He was so sweet, affectionate, and not to mention incredibly cute, so much so it was hard not to love the tyke with all your heart.

At the moment Natasha was feeding Peter his morning bottle, who was currently in a special sleeper that Tony made for him. It combined all of Peter's favorite things like the colors red and blue and his favorite insect spiders. It was red and blue with what looked like a black web lining all over it, the whole back was blue and had a black spider on the back, and it even had a hood that had two little white eyes making it look like a mask. But the best part about the sleeper was Tony designed it to stretch and grow with Peter so he could were it as long as he wanted it and needed it.

"Do we have to leave can't we stay longer?" Clint whined.

"Yes I agree and I most enjoy the company of the iron man's child."

"Guys as much as I enjoy Peter we have to go, this isn't our home."

"Fine but doesn't mean I won't be dropping by for frequent visits."

"I shall join you in these visits as well!"

"Like Peter needs anymore of you two's example in his life he doesn't need you both corrupting him."

"Us corrupt Peter never."

Natasha just rolled her eyes as she finished feeding Peter and then burped him. After that all three of the Avengers took Peter to the living room they started to play with him making him laugh adorably, loving and cherishing every moment of attention they got.

Then after about an hour the elevator doors going into the penthouse opened to reveal Tony. Peter's little head whipped around like a bullet, as he then saw his daddy walk through the door. Peter bounced up and down as he sat reaching his arms and calling out to Tony in his own baby language.

"Tony your back!" Natasha said as she picked up the squirming Peter.

As she walked closer to Tony the more Peter struggled, determined to get to his daddy. Almost immediately as Tony and Natasha got in front of each other Peter used his little strength to bound into Tony's arms.

Tony luckily caught him securely in his arms, his heart pounding at the thought of his son possibly getting hurt from his previous stunt. Peter then practically latched onto Tony's suit vest in the biggest hug his little body could give,unbelievably happy to have his daddy back. Tony was both scared and worried, he couldn't believe his son would do something so dangerous, and most of all he couldn't believe his powers were already starting to come in. This caused him to worry for what if he started doing even more dangerous things more often.

As Tony was stuck in his stupor of worry, he then suddenly felt his son's hug as he held him close. All the worries Tony had disappeared as he enjoyed his son's embrace and clearly deep love, giving it to his son in return.

"Well I think it's clear that he missed you." Natasha chuckled.

"Yeah I missed you to buddy."

Everyone had no idea the countless amount of times  that Tony sat by his phone questioning calling or hacking into his own cameras. He contemplated this due to the fact that Pepper had JARVIS block him so he wouldn't always be checking in every five minutes, virtually getting no work done. But that didn't matter anymore he had his son in his arms and Peter had his heart in his tiny little hands.

"Feel free to have us babysit any time Tony we loved it." Clint said as he got up to leave, his bag already packed.

"Yes man of iron you have a most happy and wonderful child." Thor declared.

"Later squirt." Clint said as he ruffled Peter's hair releasing a giggle from the small baby.
Then Thor kneeled to Peter and proclaimed a bunch of Asgardian stuff no one understood.

"Later Tony and goodbye Peter." Natasha said as she kissed Peter on the cheek.

"Thanks you guys for watching him I don't know who else I would have trusted."

"Anytime." They all said at the same time as the elevator door closed.

Once the penthouse was quite Tony felt Peter snuggle up to him and heard him yawn indicating he was very tired but comfortable.

"Tired bud, so am I so why don't we take a nap together."

Tony turned and then started walking to his room ready to see his bed. As soon as they got up to his room Tony practically jumped in his bed cradling Peter protectively so he didn't get hurt when he landed. Almost immediately the two fell asleep happy to have one another again.

One week later

A little over a week after Tony was back Bruce returned happy to get away from shield and see his nephew again. He was particularly excited to see his nephew because Tony told him Peter was starting to try and talk. So the green giant wanted to try and get him to say uncle Bruce first, to crush Tony's ego and bolster his own, but unfortunately to no avail. Anyways all the time Tony caught Peter trying to form words but he never quite could. So today Tony was going to get his son to say the word he really wanted him to say first, dada.

It was about lunch time and Tony had just finished feeding Peter mashed up carrots and peas. Peter was wearing nothing but a diaper and was sitting in his high chair happy to eat food. Tony then looked at Peter in the eyes determined to get his son to say dad.

"Alright Peter today's the day you're gonna say dada?"

"Ba?" Peter said confused as he pointed to himself.

"No i'm dada bud say dada." Tiny chuckled.

"De."

"No Dada."

"Deh?"

"Da-da."

"Da?"

"You've almost got it little guy just repeat after me dada." Tony said excitedly, knowing his son was so close.

"Da de dah de da dh dada?"

Tony froze when he heard what he thought was dada.

"Do it again buddy!" Tony said excitedly.

"Dada!" Peter proclaimed loudly as pointed at Tony.

"You did it Peter, you did it!" Tony yelled excitedly as he lifted Peter out of his high chair and spun him around.

Peter laughed madly as his daddy spun him around and praised happily. Tony then took the itsy bitsy spider closely to his chest as he hugged his son full of pride with his son and most of all happy to be officially recognized as Peter's father.

Luckily Tony had JARVIS record everything when it came to Peter having enough footage to make a series of movies just on his beloved son and all of his development. It was quite clear love was present between the two and would be for a long time.
