Expecting the Unexpected [Stony]

Chapter 2

The two made it up to the living room to find everyone already there which made things a lot easier for the couple. It wasn't until Steve was looking at everyone's faces that it finally hit him. What if they thought he was an abomination? What if they hated him because of this? How would he live with that?

Tony nudged his arm, breaking him free of his thoughts. Steve took in a deep breath as he looked between his friends and teammates. Clearing his throat, he finally spoke up.

"Hey guys?" He said, leaving room for him to continue if no one said anything. But they looked up from what they were doing to find their friend and captain standing there.

"Yeah, Cap?" Clint asked as he set his tablet down. Steve looked worried which worried him. Whatever Steve had to say couldn't have been good if it worried Steve that badly. Tony grabbed Steve's hand, intertwining their fingers.

"We've got something important to tell you." Tony helped out, a soft smile on his face. Steve nodded, too afraid to speak. Everyone was getting worried at how they were acting. Something was wrong if Tony was the calm one.

"And what would that be?" Bruce asked, fixing his glasses to distract the captain. That had to calm him down, right?

"We're. . . I'm. . ." Steve looked around the room for help. Since no one knew, no one was able to give him the help he needed. He looked to Tony for help but his husband just gave him a reassuring smile. "Well. . ."

"Just spit it out, Rogers!" Natasha spat. She was getting tired of waiting for him to man up and tell them what was getting him so nervous. Tony glared at the redhead.

"Calm the hell down, Romanoff!" Tony spat back, not appreciating how she was treating his husband. Natasha glared back at Tony who was standing his ground. It was almost cute if she wasn't the Black Widow.

"You know what? The both of you can calm down!" Steve barked. Tony slowly took his gaze off of Natasha, the redhead doing the same. Steve turned to his husband. "You should know better than to snap at Natasha." He scolded then looked to the assassin that was sitting on the couch. "And you! This is Tony's house so I don't think yelling at his knocked up husband is winning you any points in his book." Natasha rolled her eyes. What was Tony going to do anyway?

"Wait. Repeat that, please?" Bruce requested. Steve furrowed his brow.

"This is Tony's house so I don't think yelling at his knocked up husband is winning you any points in his book?" Steve repeated, not understanding why Bruce was so interested in what he said. Clint's interest sparked and so did Natasha's.

"Now just repeat the husband part?" Clint asked.

"I don't think yelling at his knocked up husband-"

"Yes! That's enough, thank you." Clint cut off. Steve looked to Tony who shrugged. "Knocked up husband?" Steve's eyes widened.

"That wasn't how- I didn't mean to- That's not how I was planning on-" Steve rambled before sighing. "Yeah. Knocked up." He confessed. Thor cleared his throat.

"Knocked up meaning. . .?" He prompted, not understanding the Midgardian term.

"That I'm pregnant." Steve mumbled, sliding his hand down his face. Clint furrowed his eyebrows.

"Uh, dude? You're a, well, you're exactly that, a dude." He pointed out. "How exactly are you pregnant? It's not like you have the proper equipment for it." Clint joked. Tony looked over at the archer.

"The serum jacked some stuff up with all its 'perfectness'." Tony explained. "Trust me, we didn't understand it either. For starters, we thought Steve was dying." The blonde shot Tony a look. "We did!" He defended. "But after I had JARVIS scan him, we realized that he wasn't dying, he was just creating a new life." Clint nodded slowly.
