Chapter 26

Bri stood staring at her ring under the fairy lights above them. Tony watched in anticipation waiting to see what she'd do next.

'I need to tell you something.' She said looking up and meeting his brown eyes.

He was slightly taken back but nodded for her to continue.

'I-I'm pregnant.' She said nervously.

The news hit Tony like a truck. Pregnant? He let a smile play across his lips before pulling Bri into a hug.

'You're not mad?' She asked looking up at him.

'Of course not.' He replied giving her a kiss.

She smiled and rubbed her stomach.

'How far along are you?' Tony asked putting his hands over hers.

'Four weeks.' She said smiling.

'Does anyone else know?' He asked brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

'No, I only found out last week and was to nervous to tell you.' She said blushing.

'You can tell me anything, don't be nervous.' He said kissing her forehead.

This night couldn't be more perfect in either of their eyes.

'She said yes!' Tegan yelled across the house.

Steve clambered into the room and smiled wide.

'I told him not to worry.'

'They said they've got to tell us news in person tomorrow.' Tegan said reading her next text.

Steve didn't always get along with Tony but it was nice to see him happy and Bri had become like a sister to him so it was only a bonus to see her life shaping into what she dreamed it would be. The next day Tegan and Steve drove to Stark tower with a congratulations gift in hand.

'It's so lovely to have my best friend getting married!' Tegan said as they climbed into the elevator.

Steve smiled and lead her out of the elevator where Tony was waiting for them with a cup of coffee.

'Morning.' He said smiling.

'Morning, someones happy.' Steve said smirking.

'Well, I'm getting married.' Tony said shrugging.

Tegan wished him her congratulations and headed to the seating room where Bri was waiting.

'Congratulations!' Tegan said running over and tackling her.

Tony flinched seeing Bri tackled but quickly recovered when he saw that she was okay. They all sat in silence until Steve broke it.

'What is it you needed to tell us in person?'

Tony and Bri looked at each other until he took her hand in his and gave it an encouraging squeeze.

'I'm pregnant.' Bri said looking back to Steve and Tegan.

Bri could have sworn Steve's jaw hit the floor but Tegan began jumping up and down.

'Oh my God!' She squealed.

Steve regained his composer and gave Tony a firm handshake in congratulations before hugging Bri.

'Hard to believe that the legendary Tony Stark would be settling down.' He said grinning.

'People change.' Tony said rubbing Bri's hand with his thumb.

The four spent the rest of the day joking around about baby names and discussing wedding plans.

'Have you picked a date?' Steve asked.

'We were thinking June.' Tony said.

'June? It's a little close don't you think?' Tegan asked this time.

'Well, we want to get married before the baby's born.' Bri said leaning on Tony's shoulder.

'We've got our first appointment on Monday.' Tony said excitedly.

Bri loved how excited he was to become a father, it made her pressures lesson.

*

'Miss De Mel, the doctor is ready to see you.' The nurse said holding her clipboard.

Tony took her hand and led her into room number one. They waited nervously until the doctor came in. She came in and gave Bri the ultrasound.

'There's your baby.' The doctor said smiling.

Bri smiled at Tony who was gripping her hand tightly.

'Barely developed but I can already tell their beautiful like their mother.' He said beaming.

'How sweet.' The doctor said before leaving the room.

She came back a few minutes later and gave them a picture of the first ultrasound.

'So far everything's going smoothly.' She said smiling.

They gave their thanks and left. Bri couldn't be happier at how good of a father she knew Tony would be.
