Facing The Past

Chapter-1

Tony opened his eyes. His vision was blurry. He blinked numerous times to clear his vision. Once his vision was cleared he looked around to find Pepper facing her back towards him and talking with a team of doctors. He with weak voice called her,

"Pepper"

Pepper hearing him turned towards him. She had happy tears in her eyes seeing her love back after 6 long months. Yes it has been 6 long months from Tony's snap, from the death of Thanos, from them almost loosing Tony. Tony didn't die but he was in coma for 6 long months.
Pepper ran towards him along with the doctors following her and hugged him tightly not hurting him kissing his him all over his face.

"Oh, Tony. Thank God, thank God you are back." Said Pepper looking him in the eye with tears of joy.

"Don't worry. I ain't gonna leave y'all so soon. After all Morgan loves me 3000 means more than u." Said Tony in his usual Tony Stark tone which sounded really weak n tried to wink which made Pepper laugh a lil with tears. They were feeling each other after long untill the doctors interrupted them.

"Mrs. Stark. We need to check on Mr. Stark. Please if you could just move a bit."

"Sure, doctor. Sorry. Please check him." Replied Pepper.

"Well Mrs. Stark, Mr. Stark's vitals r good but he's really weak. You guys will need to take care of him more and he'll need to follow a diet which I'll give you shortly and also we'll remove his oxygen mask when he's strong enough to breathe on his own." Said the doctor.

" Thank you doctor."
"It's my pleasure Mrs. Stark. Okay then we'll leave u to have sometime if your own. Take care Mr. Stark."

"Sure doctor." Tony replied in a weak voice.

The doctor smiled and left with his team.

Once the doctor went Tony gestured Pepper to sit beside him. Pepper sat beside him on the stool. Tony slowly and weakly upped his hand n touched her cheek while Pepper smiled grabbing his hand with her both hands.

Tony while rubbing his thumb softly below her lower lip asked, " Where are we? How r u, Morgan and my kid and all others?"

" We are in Wakanda. All are not well they only show themselves as strong but they r broken without you. Desperately waiting for u to get back to them." Replied Pepper.

Tony humming in response asked her, " How long have I been in coma?"

"6 months."

"Hmm"

"Only hmm? I thought you would be shocked or remark something dramatically as you always do."

"Believe me Pepper I never thought I would survive that snap but I did and it's a very big thing so, even if I would've woken up 10 years later I wouldn't have been surprised that I was in coma for so long. I would've been overwhelmed that I've woken up and can spend the rest of my life with you guys." Said Tony looking at a particular place thoughtfully and smiled looking at her as he finished.

"Oh, Tony." saying so Pepper hugged him tightly yet softly.

"Now don't be emotional and where are all? I wanna meet 'em specially my kids"

"They r in New York. Peter has started his school. Morgan is with him. They have bonded very well over the past 6 months just like brother - sister. All others are also with them."

"That's good. I'm happy that my kids are bonding well."

"Same here. Wait lemme call 'em. They'll be really happy to see you back specially Peter and Morgan."
