After The War? (IronStrange)

Chapter 7 End

Tony's Pov:

I woke up in my bed...I blinked...I felt fine...What!? I sat up and nope body was fucking lead so I fell back down making the person under me grunt...Wait...person under...I looked up at Stephen who was watching me.

"You with me?" He asked softly and I nodded and he sighed in relief.

"He really had his hooks in you." Stephen said softly and brushed my hair back. What d- I felt the knot and my eyes widened as I saw guilt in his eyes. "Sorry...you went into an immediate heat and...it wasn't pretty...you were really sick till I..." He frowned.

"Bonded?" I asked and he nuzzled my temple.

"Yeah, bonded...were bonded...are you ok?" He asked.

"Tired." I said and he hummed.

"I bet...try to rest." He said softly and I nuzzled into the Alpha's chest. "I'm sorry." He said. It's ok...I started to drift off. "I swear...I won't be another regret...I'll be the best Alpha I can be for you." He said...Steph. When I woke up next time it was to a hand caressing my cheek...I opened my eyes and Stephen gave me a worried look...Hey. "Hey...I got a warm bath ready for you to soak in." He said softly...I stared at him...well fuck...I felt my eyes water as I smiled making the Alpha smile nervously.

"Stephen." I said softly and the Alpha seemed to melt.

"Hey." He said softly. I got up and groaned...I ached all over and the Alpha was quick to help me...Fuck...you are the best Alpha ever. He helped me into the tub and I sank closing my eyes with a sigh. "Feel good?" The Alpha asked softly and I nodded as he gently helped me wash...Don't...don't you dare...I felt my eyes water. "Hey, what's wrong? You still hurting?" He asked looking worried.

"You're so nice." I said and he smiled.

"I'm not...you're just used to garbage." He said and I laughed...I purred softly as he washed me and was half asleep but I was also starving...He got me out and some comfy pajamas then...I blinked as he held out a glass of water and...

"Medicine?" I asked.

"For...you know..." He said...The Alpha was handing me a pill...so if it wouldn't take...so I wouldn't get pregnant...It was weird...after having so many with shit Alpha's...I looked up at Stephen to see his brows furrow and a look of concern. "I didn't have any condoms cause it happened so fast." He said...He thinks I'm upset with him. I looked at the pill and you know I am thirsty...I drank the water making the Alpha's eyes widen as I drank it all. "Anthony, you...you didn't..." He looked so confused.

"I don't want it." I said softly and he froze.

"Anthony...please...we can try again later...right now you are not in the best of health." He said...Oh...never had an Alpha concerned about my health before. "Please, your still far to thin and...and I don't want you to struggle and hurt anymore...if you want another one we can try again some other time." He begged and I blinked...An Alpha begging...this was also new.

"You'd stay?" I asked and he froze...We stared at each other for a long time.

"You thought I'd just abandon you?" He asked.

"I...you were forced to do all of that." I said softly and he frowned.

"Anthony, I'm not going anywhere...now please." He said softly and I thought about it...I wouldn't mind carrying a child for this one... "Please." He said so softly...

"Promise?" I asked and he looked confused. "Promise we'll try later?" I asked and his eyes widened...it was silent for a while.

"Yes." He breathed and I smiled. "I promise we'll try again." He purred a little and my smile grew more cause I know how Alpha's are...He nuzzle my temple. "When you're healthy enough and when you want." He said and I purred. "Now..." He said and I startled as the glass filled with water and he held the pill out to me again...I still hesitated. "Anthony." He said softly.
