Y/n's POV
Three weeks later
Location: Stark tower
"Peter we need to talk."
"I can't Y/n. I'm working."
"No like it's really important."
"Can't it wait?"
"I don't think it can." He dropped his pen on the desk and crossed his arms over his chest. "What?"
"Not with that attitude."
"Can't you just tell me and let me do my shit ton of paperwork?"
"Peter I think..."
"Spit it out."
"I don't know how to say this..."
"Cmon I don't have all day. I haven't been here for two days and everything is in complete chaos."
"There is a high possibility of me being pregnant but I'm not sure yet." I murmured under my breath completely forgetting that he was a superhuman and could hear everything I said.
"YOU WHAT?!" He exclaimed and stood up making his way over at me. "Is this a joke?"
"Why the fuck would I joke about something so important?"
"I dunno." I couldn't tell if he was mad or excited.
"Look I haven't gotten my period in a month or two. I'm scared."
"Did we use a condom last time?"
"I don't think so..."
"What do you mean by I don't think so? God damit I wasn't on birth control." I put my hands on my face and walked around his office panicking.
"Y/n calm down. We don't know it for sure."
"I'm too young to have kids. What if they're twins or triplets?! OH MY GOD IM GOING TO DIE."
He came up to me and hugged me. "Chill pumpkin." This boy was going to be the death of me.
I couldn't keep them in. I let the tears in my eyes fall down to his shoulder.
"Don't panic."
"I don't want to be pregnant."
"Don't you want to have kids?"
„Yes! Someday... in the future but just not now. I'm still emerging into adulthood."
„Y/n you are 24."
"Dude it hasn't been long enough."
"Wait!"
"What?"
"How do you know I'm going to be the father?" I let out a little laugh through my tears and hugged him even tighter.
"Cause you're the only guy I've been with these past few months."
"Are going to get an abortion or...?"
"I don't really know."
"I booked an appointment with my doctor in two days."
"Y/n...?"
"What?"
"Please think this through. How did you manage it last time?"
"I started drinking, took pills and ended up killing the kid."
"Well this time I'll make sure you won't get close to any alcohol."
"How can you be so calm?" I pushed him away and looked at his face "I learned to not get my hopes up easily. If I get proof you are truly pregnant then I'll make sure to not panic around you."
"So if I were pregnant would you be happy?"
"Of course I'd be happy. I'd be the happiest man in the world. Because I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
And then she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Peter sighed as Daniela walked inside. "Sir I just came in to inform you about the meeting that you have in an hour."
"Well I'm not going. Cancel it."
"Sir it's about your partnership-"
"I said I'm not going. Am I not being clear enough?" He rose his voice at her a bit. Sure he was being aggressive at her for no particular reason but I could finally see the fear in his face.
"Pete you don't have to."
"Are you kidding me? Is a meeting more important than this?"
She left the room and ease dropped on us behind the door.
"Peter I'm going home. We'll talk later. And don't dare come home with me. I told you because you had the right to know, not to get you suddenly distracted and occupied with me."
"What if you need anything?"
"I'll call you."
"What if I don't pick up?"
"You will don't worry. Besides I have so many people around there that can help me."
"Nope I'm coming with you."
"No you fucking won't."

"Peter...?" I knew he was awake. He was walking down the hallway a few minutes ago. "I know you're up."
He turned over and asked "What do you want?" in a little aggressive tone on his voice. "Can I sleep here tonight?"
"Why? What's wrong?"
"I can't go to sleep and I don't think you can either."
"Yeah, sure." His voice softened a little. We haven't slept in the same bed this past month. I've mostly slept in the guest room.
I laid next to him and covered myself up in his blanket. "Ian went missing last week."
"What?"
"Thought I'd let you know."
"How didn't anybody tell me about that?"
"Let's just try to get some sleep. Not exactly in the mood to talk about him."
I nodded and turned to my side. I felt his warm hands slowly approaching my waist and hugging it softly. "How is it that sometimes you want me but sometimes you don't even want to look at me?"
I heard him sniff and quickly turned around. "Are you crying?"
"No I just feel kinda sick. I'm sure it's nothing."
"Oh okay."
"..."
"Are you going to answer my question?"
"No." It wasn't just because I was trying to play with his heart or something but I've suspected about this whole pregnancy thing for about two weeks now and I had to let him know the truth and even after telling him didn't make me feel more relieved.
"Peter?"
"Hm?"
"I love you. Just wanted to let you know."
"I-I love you too." I knew he was probably kinda shocked because I hated saying those words first. I just wanted to release some tension between us. He kissed my head and hugged me little tighter.
"And I want you to know... that I- I still need you even though I act sometimes that I'm better off by myself. And I know I probably shocked you by what I just said but I had to let you know so badly that... I love you and I need you by my side."
I'm tryna self- discover 🚀 ⛈
