Peter is Tony and Pepper's adopted son.

Peter's POV.

I was in the living room while Clint and Sam were playing Mario Cart. I had just got done playing against Clint, so I let Sam take over. I sat back on the couch just listening to their heartbeats. My eyes were closed so I can really focus in on the steady beats.

I hear only one person walk in, but I hear 2 more heartbeats. So, I opened my eyes and see that it was mom but like I heard it was only her who walked in. I get a confused look on my face and mom notices. 

"Pete, can I talk to you for a minute?" Mom asks pulling me away from Clint and Sam. 

"Yea sure mom." I say getting up and following her into the kitchen.

"I'm going to start this by saying please don't tell your father yet. I want to do that, but I want to mess with him before telling him."

"Okay... does this have to do with you having two heartbeats?" I ask trying to confirm my suspicions.

She lets out a breathy laugh, "I should have known you'd hear it. But yes, I'm pregnant." 

"Congrats mom." I wrap her in a hug, "So how do you want to mess with dad?" I ask a smirk growing on my face. 

A Week Later

Mom and I were going out to the store to buy stuff to mess with dad. Obviously, this stuff will also be used for the baby, but for now dad will be very confused. Walking down the aisle mom tells me to get a bunch of different things before we head for clothes.

"Dad's birthday's next week we should get some clothes for his gift." I suggest.

"That is a great idea. We'll head over there." Mom says agreeing, a small smirk making an appearance.

After getting everything we head to check out. I carry all of the bags as I don't want mom to, and we head home. 

After we get home Mom checks with FRIDAY about where dad is. Thankfully he's in the lab and he just started a project meaning he'll be there for a while. 

"Let's go." Mom says grabbing some collapsible bags to put his coffee mugs in. 

Once we are up in the kitchen, I unwrap all the bottles and sippy cups while mom starts cleaning them. After all of them are unwrapped I start moving all of the coffee mugs into the bags before moving them into the bottom of the pantry, hidden away.

"Help me dry the rest of these then we can put them away." Mom asks. 

I nod and we make quick work of drying and putting them away where dad's coffee mugs were. 

"Finally, we're done." I say while dramatically flopping on the couch. 

"Yes, we are. FRIDAY is Tony still in the lab?" 

'Yes, boss is still in the lab. Although he appears to be growing tired, so it is likely that he will come up for coffee soon.'

"Thanks FRIDAY. Now we wait." Mom says relaxing into the couch. 

I turn on the tv finding a good channel to watch. 

5 minutes later

The elevator opens and dad walks out followed by Bruce. 

"I know we are so close. If only we could figure out that one equation." Dad complains.

"Ya let's take a small break then get back to it with fresh eyes." Bruce suggests. 

Dad nods opening the coffee mug cabinet. 

"Huh?"

"What's up? Something broken?" Bruce asks oblivious to what happened.

"These aren't mugs." Dad says moving out of the way. 

"No, they aren't." Bruce says before leaving the kitchen, presumably heading back to the lab.

"FRIDAY who did this?" Dad asks very confused.

"That would be us." I say before FRIDAY can respond, as me and mom walk in.

"Why... I can't put coffee in these." He says holding out an iron man sippy cup, "Although at least you have good taste."

"Cause it's funny." Mom responds letting out a chuckle.

Tony's birthday

Everyone else that was previously in the tower were now on a mission, that didn't need dad's help. With just us three being in the tower mom decided to go all out with breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, fruit, bacon, eggs, French toast. So yummy. 

"Thanks mom this looks so good." I say loading my plate with a bunch of food. 

"Yea thanks sweetie. This is the best birthday breakfast ever." Dad says giving mom a short kiss.

 "Of course. Oh I almost forgot drinks. Let me go get them." Mom says going into the kitchen. 

When mom comes back with 3 sippy cups filled with orange juice. I just laugh accepting it. 

"Really?!? Whyyyyy?" Dad complains but, in the end, takes it. 

"It'll make more sense later. Let's just eat breakfast then you can open the gifts we got you."

With that we fall into a comfortable silence eating the breakfast mom made. After breakfast mom leads dad to the couch and ask me to go get the gifts. 

"Of course, mom." I say rushing to get the bag as well as a smaller box.  

Heading back to the living room I give dad the bigger bag. Then I hand the smaller one to mom. 

"Can I open it?" Dad asks impatient. 

"Yes, open it." Mom says.

As dad opens it confusion strikes his face. 

"What are these for? I don't think Peter would fit them." He says trying to make a joke. 

"This will make them make sense." Mom says handing him the smaller box. 

Dad takes it a bit confused but some excitement coming onto his face. Opening the box he sees a positive pregnancy test. Dad freezes, trying to process what he's seeing.

"This isn't a joke, right?" Dad asks with what appears tears coming to his eyes. 

"No. I'm pregnant Tony." Mom reassures. 

Dad then pounces on mom, tears leaving his eyes. 

"I'm going to have another kid." Dad says excitedly.
