Don't cry il nostro piccolo ragno

A/N: A short Starkfamily oneshot. Enjoy.
-------------------------------------------------------

It started two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago today his son came home in tears and he has been doing so for the past two weeks.

Tony, Pepper and Morgan don't know what is going on in Peter's life that's making him come home in tears but they've had enough of not being able to help their son and big brother.

Tony Stark was sitting on the couch with his two girls curled up on either side of him, as they all watched a Disney movie of Morgan's choice. It was an almost perfect movie afternoon, but what would have made it complete is Tony and Pepper's son and Morgan's big brother, Peter.

A loud ding filled the air, signaling that FRIDAY had brought someone up to the penthouse. The doors opened to reveal Peter Parker Stark. Morgan was off the couch and tackled her brother in a hug, Peter went to his knees and captured her in his arms, burying his face in her hair, Tony and his wife watched their children's reunion from the couch with smiles on their faces.

"I missed you, Petey." Morgan said as she reluctantly pulled out of the hug. It was then all three of them noticed the tears that were spilling from the young Heros face. Tony and Pepper joined their kids on the floor, Tony cupped his son's face in his hands.

"Peter, what's wrong?" He demanded of his son, who shook his head and stood up, grabbing his backpack and gave Morgan a smile before he walked to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.

Tony Stark frowns as he hears his daughter come into the living room dragging her brother with her.

"Come on, Peter." The five year old girl says as the two of them enter the living room that Tony and Pepper are sitting in.

"What's going on here?" Peter asks, his voice almost sounding like a growl.

"We need to talk to you about why you've been coming home from school in tears for the past two weeks." Tony says as he looks at his son with a hard frown on his face. Peter scoffs and rolls his brown eyes.

"No we don't, can't you just forget about it?" Peter asks, Tony sighs: he wishes he could forget about seeing his son coming home from school with tears falling down his face everyday for the last two weeks, he wishes he could forget having to constantly reassure his daughter that she's done nothing wrong for her brother to be crying like this, he wishes he could forget about holding his wife in his arms as she cries late into the night about their son every night for the past two weeks, he wishes he could forget being up late at night unable to sleep because thoughts of reasons as to why his son is crying everyday floor his head every night for the past two weeks but he can't.

Tony shakes his head. "No, I'm sorry, bud, we can't just can't forget it. Your mother, sister and myself have been trying to think of reasons why you're coming home in tears bud, but we can't think of anything, it's gotta come from you." Tony is grasping at straws before he decides on an ultimatum for his son which is guaranteed to get his son to open up to them. Tony sighs as he looks at his wife and daughter for confirmation, and with their discreet nods, the married billionaire engineer father of two looks at his oldest child and delivers his ultimatum. "So either you tell us or you're grounded from being Spider-Man until you can tell us what the hell is getting you so upset everyday." Tony tells his son as he walks out of the living room and down to his workshop.

Peter watches as his father leaves the room, quickly followed by his mother and sister who give him small, sad smiles as they leave, and eventually he's alone. Again.
