Oh Baby

Untitled Part 3

Bath time was an adventure .

Peter had taken a total of 4 minutes from waking up and Friday alerting the group to climb up the wall to the ceiling of his nursery and had promptly sat there laughing as all of the avengers attempted to reach him. Tony immediately regretted getting such a high ceiling.

"Come on Pete just a little bath" Tony called, only to get a happy cackle from the spider baby that crawled across the ceiling a bit more.

"Peter!" Steve tried to order but was completely ignored. Clint looked at everyone silently and then raised his hands up in surrender.

"My kids never climbed ceilings, why does your kid want to climb ceilings? Jesus Christ it's a high ceiling. Oh god I'm panicking and repeating the word ceiling aren't I?" He asks, Bucky just nods and glances at Peter before leaving the room silently. Natasha left not to long after that.

Tony was jumping up to try and catch him to no avail as Peter just stared at them all with a evil glint of enjoyment in his eyes. Tony's pretty sure he'll have a heart attack any minute, he tries once more.

"Peter Stark get your butt down here now!" Tony tries and Peter just looks him in the eyes, face showing no emotion for a moment before a wicked grin spread across his face.

"R'ch me!" He argued "Short'" He called and Tony fumed. 

"Oh after that bath you are sooo going in time out little boy. Scratch that I'll change that butt of your's in front of all your friends and then put you in time out" He started scheming as Peter just laughs a little more and claps his hands.

"Short short short!" He repeats. Tony fumed and gets ready to scold some more when Steve rests his hand on Tony's shoulder and moves his eyes behind him. Turning a little he almost faints as Bucky holds a large net on a stick and just...swoops Peter into it. 

"Jesus Bucky, you caught a big one there" Clint teases as Tony takes the squirming boy in his arms. Tony palms the boys diaper a little and sighs.

"You're lucky you have a bath on the way or I'd change you right here" Tony grunts. Walking to the bathroom he looks at Steve. "Can you watch him in the corner whilst I run the bath?" Steve's nod was enough for the three to head in the bathroom. Tony locked the door and set Peter in the corner. Facing him first he flinches at the now tear filled eyes of Peter.

"Niii" He whimpers and Tony takes a breath, knowing these were crocodile tears, he brings Peter's chin up to look him in the eyes.

"Peter Stark Parker" He starts, leaving the Benjamin out as they had slowly realised that caused tears more. "You know better then to disobey us, you should know better then to just climb up onto the Ceiling and then insult the team. I'm disappointed in you Peter. You know better and yet here we are with you in a time out because you wanted to misbehave. The next time this happens Peter a time out won't be the only punishment you get. Am I understood?" He asks seriously. Peter gives a hiccup and a nod as Tony undresses him and leaves him in the corner, soiled diaper hanging on his hips. "Watch him" He says to Steve as he runs the bath.

The bath was uneventful as Peter stayed sullen through out the entire thing. Even when Steve playfully splashed him and Tony, Peter just sat there. It made Tony sad but he knew not to fall for it too much.

Dinner was almost the same, except Bruce came up with a crib cover to stop the boy from climbing out. Peter barely ate anything until Tony had to start spoon feeding him the spaghetti which just led to Peter lazily opening his mouth and taking 4 minutes to eat a single piece. Clint had been a god send when Tony started thinking he'd been to harsh.
