In which you find out some big news

I laid on the couch in Tony and I's bedroom feeling the absolute sickest I've ever felt. I was congested, nauseous, and cramping all at the same time. I figured it was my period coming but this felt too extreme to be a period.

Speaking of my period, when was the last time I had it? I remember being on a mission in Naples when my period last came. Worst mission ever!

I can't seem to recall when that mission was though. I thought about it more before grabbing my phone and finally walking downstairs to find someone who would know. Most of the Avengers were on a mission but I knew I could find someone who was still home in the compound.

I finally found my first sign of life in the training room. Steve was there with Nat practicing hand to hand. They were beating each other's asses when I walked in and paused when they saw me.

Their momentary pause allowed for Nat to get Steve into a chokehold with her legs. She screeched in victory and stood out of the grasp.

"Thank you, Y/n," she came over and hugged me. "You broke our tie."

"I'm glad I could help." I laughed.

"You won't get so lucky next time, Nat." The captain stood and wiped his face with a cloth.

"Guys, I came to ask a question," I sat on the bench that sat next to their sparring mat. "When was that one mission in Naples?"

"I'm pretty sure it was like a month and a half ago." Steve answered.

My heart dropped in my chest at his words. I thought that it would maybe be a month and that my period would come in the next few days but it already being half way into the second month means I've missed my period by 2 weeks. There's no way.

Tony and I were careful. We used protection. We were safe! Well there was that one time... but that's irrelevant. I started feeling shaky, thinking about the possibility of me being pregnant.

What would Tony think?

I've always wanted children. I always saw myself having a family and a home. That was until I was recruited to be an Avenger. Suddenly children were something that had to wait. And now the possibility of a baby made me happy, but I couldn't help but wonder if Tony would be as happy.

We'd never had the family talk. I was his girlfriend of a year and a half. We weren't even married yet. He definitely wouldn't want a kid right now.

"Y/n, what's wrong?" He asked.

Nat came and sat down next to me. I looked at her in disbelief not knowing what to say or even do. Her confused yet comforting face only made it worse. I couldn't even utter the words to them.

After a minute of staring into space, I finally gained the courage to answer.

"I think I'm pregnant." I looked at Steve first who tried to keep his composure but failed miserably. Nat only wrapped her arms around me. Their insufferable silence doing nothing but making me have more anxiety.

Just then my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID to see Tony's contact pop up.

"Y/n," he exclaimed when I answered. "Missions done, saved the world yet again because I am awesome. I'm headed home right now and I wanted to know if you wanted me to bring back those pastries you like from Marseille since I'm already in France."

I was about to answer when he completely cut me off. "Y'know what, I don't even know why I'm asking. I'm gonna get them. See you in a few hours, babe, love you."

And just like that he hung up. My nausea was only getting worse by the second and it was getting to the point where I actually felt like throwing up.

"Maybe we should get you to a doctor." Nat voiced.

And just like that, I vomited all over the mat in front of me.

———————————

I waited on the bed for Tony to get back. I didn't know how he would take the news or what this could possibly mean for us. Nat and Steve offered to take me to a doctor but my nerves were too high for that. A regular store bought pregnancy test would be the best option for me at the moment.

Plus I didn't want to go to the doctor and not even be pregnant. I figured it'd be best to wait for Tony to get back to take it. That way we can find out the results together.

My heart raced when I heard the door open and in came Tony with a box of pastries just as he promised. He wore his usual adorable smile on his face as he walked in.

"Hello my beautiful Y/n," he greeted as he leaned down to kiss me. "I got your pastries."

"Thank you, love." He handed me the box and I braced myself for what I was to say next. He sat next to me and I turned to him, my mind going at 1000mph. Even the way he looked at me made me nervous. His eyes were filled with so much love. Would that love still be there if I were really pregnant?

Maybe I'm just being dramatic. I need to calm down.

"Tony," I started. "I'm late."

It didn't take him much time to process my statement before he said, "Have you taken a test yet?"

"I was waiting for you to come back," I pulled the test out of the drawer in our nightstand. "I wanted us to see the results together."

"Well let's do it," he jumped up in excitement. "Come on."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "You seem excited."

He walked over to me and kneeled down. He took my hands in his and kissed both. "Of course I am. Since the day I met you I knew that you'd be everything to me. My wife, the mother of my child, the love of my life, my best friend and my soulmate. If you really are pregnant, I can't imagine not being excited over it. My only regret is that I didn't marry you first."

His words warmed my heart. After that, my anxiety lessened and I went into the bathroom to take the test. I still wasn't sure if I was ready for motherhood but I knew that Tony would make everything 100% better. I knew that I'd love this baby with all my heart and cherish every moment with him or her.

Tony stood outside the door singing some AC/DC song while I peed on the stick. When I was done we sat on the bed together for the next few minutes, Tony ranting about how he can't wait to be father.

Finally the results came in for the test. I took a deep breath before I read the result.

'Not pregnant'

I was slightly relieved but a big part of me was disappointed. After learning of Tony's excitement, I started to look forward to being a parent. I imagined us as a family. Me, him, our baby, and our other babies we call the Avengers.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm sorry, Tony." I spoke.

"I was definitely excited to have a little munchkin running around, but if it's not meant to be then we can't force it."

He paused before he continued.

"Unless you'd like to try for one." His eyebrows raised in question.

"After we figure out why I have pregnancy symptoms with no pregnancy. Deal?"

We shook hands. "Deal."
