You Can Let Go Now Daddy

Dentist

Today was Peters first trip to the dentist and Tony wasn't even able to be there. He had a meeting regarding his company. He'd tried to cancel it three times but ultimately it was too important.

So, Pepper and Bruce had offered to go with Peter, who still had no idea how he felt about heading to the dentist.

"Good luck, buddy. Listen to what mommy and Uncle Bruce say." Tony kissed his forehead. Peter nodded. He wanted to ask Tony to stay and protect him but he knew his job was important.

Once Tony was gone, Pepper and Bruce took Peters hands and led him to the car, heading to the dentist's office.
Upon arriving, Peter felt slightly more comfortable because he saw all the toys in the waiting room and excitedly began to play.

When they were called in is when Peter got nervous again. Peter sat in the chair and they began to check out his teeth. His fingers gripped Bruce's hand tightly.
He didn't like the feeling of instruments poking in his mouth. He looked around the room, wishing his daddy was there.

That's when the tears started and immediately the instruments were removed. Pepper picked her son up trying to soothe him as best as possible.
"We can come back, with Tony next time." Pepper told the dentist and Bruce turned to schedule another appointment.

But before he could, Peter suddenly stopped crying. He blinked and pointed to a lollipop on the counter.
"Do I have that after the people are done sticking stuff in me?" He asked quietly.

"Of course, buddy. You don't have to do it today. We can wait for daddy.."
But Peter had already made up his mind on that lollipop.

An hour and a half later, Peter sat on Bruce's shoulders. A lollipop dangled from his mouth and he looked pretty happy.
Tony and Happy picked them up from the office.

"How was he?" Tony asked worriedly.
"He wouldn't do it until he saw there was a lollipop involved." Bruce laughed.
"Of course. You never do things like that for free, Peter." Tony joked and Pepper laughed.

"Don't teach him that!" She tried to appear upset but she didn't mind. As long as Peter did it, she didn't care what he got out of it.

A/N: So this kind of sucks but I just had oral surgery today and it inspired me to write about our little Peter in a dentist. Even if it's kind of trash... Anyway Enjoy!!!
