The next day...

Tony awoke to see Peter lying on chest, his head next to the arc reactor, still sound asleep and Pepper not in bed. He quietly called out, "FRIDAY?", he whispered, "Yes Boss?" she said, at the same volume, "Where is Pep?" he asked the AI, "Miss Potts is currently in the kitchen." the AI responded, "Thanks girl." Tony said as he slowly rose from bed, doing his best to not wake the toddler.

He gently set the child in the middle of the kingsized bed, surrounded by pillows so there was no way he could fall and get hurt.

Once the billionaire made sure Peter was squared away, he made his way to the kitchen to greet his love, but was not expecting the Avengers to be sitting in his living room. "Uh..hi?" he questioned, still not fully awake which won't happen until at least his fourth cup of coffee. "Hey Tony." Natasha said, giving him a small but rare smile, "What are you guys doing here? You guys aren't supposed to be back till the end of the month." Tony said, "Tones..it's the last week of October." Clint said, holding back a laugh, the team chuckling at the genius's lack of organizational skills.

Tony walked silently into the kitchen as the team began to tease him about forgetting, "Hey Pep." he said sadly, the previous nights news making its prominent way into his mind, "Hey." Pepper said as she flipped over the pancakes she's working on, "Did Peter's fever ever break last night?" she asked, trying to avoid the looming grief threatening to take over at anytime, "Yeah, but only for like ten minutes." Tony said, walking over to the island.

"Hey ten minutes is better than no minutes." Pepper said making the man chuckle. They both sat in silence, not knowing what to say in order to avoid to sadness overtaking the room, until Clint walked in.

"Now what in GODS name were you thinking when you closed the vents off to people?" He asked, causing the couple to start laughing, "I was thinking birdbrain that I was done not knowing when or where you were gonna pop up. For gods sake you dropped down into my bathroom while I was in the shower!" Tony explained. Clint paused for a moment, drumming his fingers on the countertop and looking at the man, "You know what? You drive a fair point but I'm still mad.", he said finally.

Tony chuckled once more at the man not much younger than him, "How about this," he started, "I'll have a room added on to the compound specifically for climbing through tiny spaces and make it a huge maze for you. Better?" He said, causing the assassin's face to light up with joy as he happily yelled and ran out of the room making the couple almost fall over laughing at the man.

"Sir I hate to intrude," FRIDAY said, "but Peter seems to be waking up and is showing signs of distress." Tony sighed and rose from the barstool he was sitting at, "This is gonna be a long day." He mumbled to himself as he walked towards the bedroom where Peter was staying.

Peter was in fact showing signs of distress, since when Tony walked in the child's face was red and he looked as if he was about to cry.

"Aw buddy what's the matter?" Tony cooed at the child, picking him up in the process, "I miss May." Peter whimpered, making Tony hold him tighter, "I know buddy, I do too, but we have to be strong. May wouldn't want you to be a sad little boy all day, so let's make the most of today, alright?" The older man said, gently wiping the tears from Peters face as he nodded, laying his head on Tony's shoulder, making Tony sigh as he quickly figured out that the child was still running a fever.
