Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 59

The next morning Kristina wakes up at 5:30am. Tony is already up & working out in the living room. Kristina turns onto her back & rubs her belly.

"A little less than three months for your debut, munchkin. Guess what? It's daddy's birthday today. Should we get up & make him breakfast or should we stay in bed?" The baby doesn't kick much.
"Yeah. I say stay in bed too. I can't wait to meet you. Me & daddy love you so much already." She begins kicking a bit more & Kristina giggles.

"Can you believe your uncles, dad & grandpa helped to fix up your room? You're going to love it." Tony finishes his workout & walks over to the bedroom. He stands by the partially opened door, hearing Kristina talk to the baby.

"I can't wait to hold you in my arms & kiss your little face. I can already picture what you're going to look like. My hair with your daddy's beautiful eyes, his intelligence, my sarcasm. You will be a force to be reckoned with. Just like your parents. I wish my mom & your daddy's parents were here to enjoy this with us. You would've been super spoiled if they were here", she chuckles. Tony opens the door & leans into the doorway.

"What are you doing up?"
"Just talking to the baby. Care to join?"
"Like you have to ask", he says sitting down. She pulls him in for a kiss.
"Happy birthday, husband", she whispers as they pull apart.
"Thank you."

"Talk to her", Kristina says. He places his hand on her belly.
"Good morning, my princess. Talking to your momma, I see. I can't believe you're almost here." She kicks harder with Tony. He kisses her belly.

"Someone's happy to hear daddy's voice. I can't wait to finally meet you. We can go for walks through Central Park. Go to the playground. We'll leave mommy here & it'll just be the two of us. Whatta you say?"

"That's rude", Kristina says. The baby again kicks wildly.
"Hey, hey. You're supposed to have my back considering you're in my womb."
"Too late. She agrees with me. She's gonna love me more than you."

"Uh-uh. You can't be conspiring with our unborn child like that."
"It's already set in stone. She chose my side." Kristina tosses a pillow at his face.

Tony laughs.
"Sorry babe. Truth hurts."
"Ugh I can't stand you sometimes", Kristina says trying to hide her smile. She turns away but he hovers above her.
"Look at me."
"No", she says trying to sound annoyed.
"Kristina Marietta Ruiz-Stark. Look at me." She doesn't turn her head.

"You know you want to", he teases. He kisses her cheek. She hides her smile.
"Kristina. Look at me", he whispers. She turns to look at him.
"She sided with me."
"Oh my god, shut up", she chuckles. She pushes him away as he laughs hysterically.

"So birthday boy, what do you want to do today?"
"You." She turns over onto her side to face him.
"Is that it?"
"Do I need anything else?", he asks.
"I'm not exactly food, Tony." He softly bites her shoulder.
"No but you do taste good", he says.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go shower." They get up & walk into the bathroom. Tony turns on the shower & they undress quickly. They take a quick shower & after getting dressed, Kristina goes to make breakfast. She makes eggs, bacon & toast. Tony comes over to her wearing pajama pants & a tank top.

She pours him a cup of coffee & hands it to him as he approaches.
"Thank you", he says kissing her cheek.
"You're welcome." She grabs two plates from the cupboard & fixes his plate. They sit at the kitchen counter & eat.
"So husband. Where should we go for dinner?"

"We could stay home."
"We always stay home. Shouldn't we at least go out for your birthday?"
"I'm fine with a night in with my wife."
"Alright. Well I'll cook. Anything special you want?" He looks at her, licking his lips.
"I'm serious, Anthony Edward Stark."
"Full name. I feel like I'm in trouble. Ooh, are you going to spank me?", he says kissing her neck.
