So it has been brought to my attention that two days ago was father's day (not in my country though, happy late father's day to everyone out there) and I was kind of busy, so I didn't really have much time to write. Hope you enjoy this oneshot (or at least Part 1)!

He woke up and someone had made him breakfast. In bed.
"That was me! Happy father's day, dad!", Morgan said, she crawled on the bed and jumped around.
"Aww, you did that all by yourself? I'm so proud of you sweetie.", he hugged her, before she continued to jump around on his belly.
"That's not a good idea, really not, Morgan... Wait, how did you do the coffe on your own?", he laughed a little and then smiled at Pepper, who came into the room, smiling aswell.
"Morgan, don't you want to give him your present?", she asked, smiling at her daughter, who nodded and ran out of the room quickly.
"Don't tell anyone, but I helped her with the coffee. And possibly everything else."
"Sure you didn't do it on your own?", Tony asked with a smirk on his face and Peppe shook her head.
"Now why would I do that? Your daughter is completely capable of doing breakfast..."
"That's not what I'm questioning. Maybe she just thinks she did, while you did all the work? You always do that, you do that to me too."
"Alright, don't tell her though, she tried so hard", Pepper whispered and then went silent, as Morgan ran into the room, a drawing in her hands.
She jumped onto the bed, where Tony was eating breakfast. His coffee cup fell over and left a huge dark stain on the sheet. Tony could still not help but smile, when Morgan jumped even more and handed him the painting.
"I made this all for you, cause I love you 300, daddy", she said and hugged him.
"Aww thanks so much, darling. I love you 300 too.", he said, as he examined her drawing.
Basically, it were just stick figures with colorful hair and big grins on their faces and names written in Pepper's handwriting over their heads, but it made Tony happy.
He read his name, Pepper's, Morgan's... And surprisingly also Harley's and Peter's name. In the sky, next to a smiling sun, Pepper had written FAMILY, in big letters in the colours of the rainbow.
"Thank you so much, Morgan, this is really beautiful.", he said and he meant it.
"So, Tony... We thought, inviting the avengers for father's idea would be a good idea.", Pepper said, about an hour later, after they cleaned up the mess Morgan had made and had finished eating breakfast.
"Does that mean I have to put up with Steven Strange? He's gonna ruin it, he'll probably be so freaking arrogant, oh please, what have you done Pepper... A good idea"
"Calm down honey, Steven can't stay the whole night, says he has to do magic things, but I think he just doesn't like you"
"Oh, that is mutual", Tony said and rolled his eyes.
"Steven Strange... Mummy, he can do magic right? Oh my god, that's so cool."
"He'll be there in a few minutes"
"I'll wait for him!", Morgan said and stormed off.
Tony exchanged a look with Pepper, who was about to say something, but he was faster than her and so she could only stare at him and look amused.
"Her father is-- I am literally iron man and she likes that... Harry Potter guy better than me?!"
"What a shame that you're only second best.", Pepper commented, smiling widely.
"Stop smiling like that, stop enjoying my pain."
"Oh, but that's why I married you. In sickness and in health, remember", she smiled even wider.
Tony rolled his eyes, but could not help and smile.
"So, yey, father's day Stark. As ya see I'm busy doing-", Dr Strange waved his hands around, trying to demonstrate magic for Morgan, "-magic while you're out here partying", he said and then threw a deathly look over to Tony.
"Can you teach me to do magic? Please, pleaseeee, pleaseeeeeeeeeee", Morgan looked up at Steven Strange with her puppy eyes.
"She's got that look from you", Pepper whispered.
Toyn could not help smile, btu he was still a little annoyed by Dr Strange stealing his kid from it at father's day.
"Sure, Morgan", Strange said and smiled at her.
Tony had not expected to ever see him smile at anyone, but who could blame him, Morgan was a literal angel.
"So, I'm gonna go and show your daughter the basics, alright?", he said, but instead of asking Tony, he looked straight at Pepper.
"Of course, just give her back when we leave for dinner"
Strange and Morgan walked off into her room, and Dr Strange looked suspiciously happy.
"So, you are leaving our daughter to this wizard on father's day?", Tony asked Pepper, once they were alone.
"I thought you wanted to rest a little before you'd have to deal with everyone"
"Oh, so basically you want to talk to me alone"
"I mean you just read my thoughts, so maybe Steven isn't the only wizard in the house", Pepper smiled at him.
"I know, it's father's day and I just want to say... I am so sorry that your father can't be there for you..."
"I've got a family now. And that's all that matters", Tony said.
"You're an amazing father, Tony. And I can't think of a better husband than you. I guess it's true, I, too, love you 3000", she said and kissed him gently.
It was the start of a perfect day.
