Peter Parker had a headache.
The pounding sound going through his ears was so damn annoying.
He just wanted to read :(

Peter Parker was sitting at the kitchen island reading a book while his mother, Pepper Stark made dinner.

It had been two weeks since his father passed away, his arc reactor sent into the lake beside their home.

Peter hit his head on the marble surface and groaned, gaining his mother's attention.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Her shooting voice asked, worthy flashing over her face.
" Nothing. Just a bad headache." He replied back, face still facing the table.

"Oh. I've been having headaches too. Not sure why. Might be because of all that happening." She told her son. Just as he young daughter came running in.

" Mommy! Look at my drawing!" Little Morgan Stark showed her mother the drawing of six people in front of a castle.

" You see! This ones you! And this is daddy and Peter and Happy and Uncle Rhodey and Me!" She said with excitement. As her mother took the price of paper from the little hands.

Pepper held in tears. The reality of her youngest child not understanding where her father ended up. Without the realisation that she would never see her father again.

"Let me get a magnet to stick it in the fridge okay?" Pepper told the young girl, as she left the room and went into the office.

The sound had disappeared.

Just as his mother left the room.

What?

Wait.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait.

Mom's pregnant?

And his thoughts were confirmed when his mother came back. Just as the steady pounding did as well.

"Mom?"

"Hm?"

" Did you and dad ever... you know... have um... sex before the battle?" He asked embarrassingly, cheeks red and plump.

Pepper twirled around. " Peter! Morgan is here!" Pepper hissed. But she was too late.

"What's sex?"

Peter cringed. He looked at his mom for help.
And she just shrugged her shoulders.
"You brought this upon yourself. You tell her."

"Mommmmm......" and he sighed. He wasnt getting out of this.

He looked back at Morgan and cringed once again.
"Um.. well Morgan... it's something only big people do. Like when you're really big. With someone you really love. Only when you're big though."

"What were you saying?" Morgan asked, uninterested. And Peter took a chance.

" No-Nothing! Nothing at all! Go back to drawing!" And Pepper laughed at her son's attempt. " No but seriously mom. Did you?" He continued on his quest.

Pepper was obviously uncomfortable, unsure of her son's intentions. "I guess... why?" And what scared her more was that her son had a very i comforting smile on his face.

"Mom... you're pregnant."

Pepper froze.

"I'm.. pregnant?"

" Yeah mom... that's what's been given me headaches. It's the heartbeat." ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pepper was tearing up. She was going to have another baby. Another joy to add to her life.
And one of them decided to speak up.

"What's a pregnant?"
