Forever

109

When Bree calmly takes a seat on the couch, it barely takes a second before Pietro comes flying over and slides to his knees in front of her. She jumps a bit with wide eyes before she smiles as he places his hands on her hips, resting on his elbows around her thighs.

"Oh, my God." He grits. "I cannot wait for you to come out." He slides his hands closer to her belly, while shaking her a bit.

"Y'know, it can't hear you." She shakes her head and he squints his eyes at her. "It's only four weeks old, it's barely formed anything." She chuckles.

"She." He corrects and she covers her smile with her fist.

"You think it's a she?" She nods as he turns back to her belly.

"I do." He grins softly and she lays her head back with an adoring pout.

"What if it's a boy?" She stares up at the ceiling.

"Throw it away." He nods surely and she shoves his shoulder with a laugh.

"Get out of here." She stands up as he backs up with a smile. "Come on, we have a mission." She takes his hand and he stands to follow her towards the elevator. "I have to do this before I chicken out."

The pair makes it down to the common room and he plops down on the corner cushion of the couch, furthest away from the entire group, including Peter, who's back home for a small visit before he heads back to campus. Bree stops by the armrest closest to Pietro and takes a deep breath, while placing her hand on her hip. Her eyes flicker to Tony's as he stares at her and she silently motions around the room.

"Hey!" He claps and all goes silent. "Boss wants to speak." He points and she tilts her head with a grin, making him smile a bit. "Continue, hun."

"Thank you." She nods softly before turning to the group whose eyes are all on her. "I have news."

"Of?" Nat nods.

"Well, I had a doctor's appointment last week and found out that I'm no longer infertile." She grins and they smile.

"Really?" Wanda breathes excitedly as Pietro just stares at Bree with a nervous grin and his fist over his mouth.

"Yeah." She nods with a slow smirking smile.

"That's great." Pepper nods happily and a few nod along as Bree pulls her lips into her mouth and Peter sits up with a tilted head and furrowed brows.

"Bree." He calls and she turns with raised brows. "Is there something else you need to say?" He nods and she slowly smiles with a bouncing knee.

"I may have found out something else too." She states near a low whisper and a few eyes go wide in realization.

"No, you're not." Sam shakes his head with an agape smirk as Tony's brows hit the ceiling and Bree laughs a bit with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, my God!" Pepper jumps up with Nat and Wanda that slowly stand with fallen jaws, making some of the men fearfully back up from the possibility of flailing arms.

"Stop!" Wanda denies with her hands up and wide eyes. "I'm not an aunt, you're lying." She turns to Pietro and he laughs a bit as Bree covers her mouth and begins to cry behind a pouting smile.

Pepper immediately forces her into a tight hug and Bree just buries into her. She turns her head to look at Tony as he pulls his lips into his mouth and hangs his head to cover his eyes.

"Dad?" She calls and Pepper backs away from her as she grips her shirt and all stay nervously silent.

"Tony." Pepper wipes under her tearful eyes.

"I have a daughter that has just barely turned seven...another that's a full grown adult that's made a damn good life of her own...a non-biological son that's in college...and, now, I have a grandchild." He realizes in monotone and Peter slowly smiles as Pietro sits up to take Bree's hand. "It seems as though my life has been fulfilled." He drops his hand and Bree shakes her head with a trembling smile. "I can die happy now."

"God, you're so fucking dramatic, I hate you." She cries joyful tears and a break of small laughter begins as Tony looks up at her with a grin. "I hate you so much." She hides her mouth behind her arm as it all gets worse and he stands with a sigh to move over and pull her into a hug, just before Wanda turns to Pietro.

"Asshole." She whacks his shoulder with a tearful laugh and he chuckles. "You're gonna be a parent before me, that's not how that works." She complains and he throws his hands out in confusion.

"I didn't know." He chuckles and she rolls her eyes, while Bree smiles at them. "How was I supposed to know this would happen before you?"

"Wear a condom." Sam mumbles with a smirk and Bucky hangs his head as Steve shakes his head and Tony sighs.

"You need to go." Bree points with raised brows and a smile and he laughs a bit with his tongue poking his cheek. "You and Clint need to leave."

"I haven't said a single word to either of you." Clint chuckles and shakes his head.

"It was brewing and you know it." She shakes her head with a scrunched up nose. "We all know it."

Tony turns to Pietro and nods for him to follow as he heads towards the kitchen. He hesitantly follows behind and Wanda moves on to cup Bree's cheeks out of excitement before she hugs her tight.

"So you're doing that thing that we talked about soon right?" Tony mumbles, while pouring himself a drink.

"I am." He nods a bit and he smiles slightly.

"Good." He concludes and he takes a deep breath. "That's all I wanted. You can go back to Bree."

He nods slightly and turns around to slowly head back with a smile creeping it's way onto his lips.

Hours later, Pietro is finally able to get Bree alone again. They've gone back upstairs to sit on the couch with tired sighs from all of the chaotic happiness around.

"I'm going to have to marry you soon, huh?" He sulks teasingly and she instantly smiles.

"If you say so." She shrugs and he chuckles. "But the wedding will have to be after this, because I need to look snatched in my dress, not with a big ass bump." She points surely and he hangs his head as he bursts into laughter, making her smile. "I'm serious." She chuckles.

"Believe me, I know you are." He nods with raised brows. "You're being very clear."

"I better be."
