Young Peter Stark Oneshots

Family

It was common knowledge that Anthony Stark was an orphan; the death of Howard and Maria was broadcasted for the whole world to see. It was a less well known fact that Pepper Potts was an only child and father died in her teenage years, or that she was never really close with her mother and he illegitimate pregnancy didn't help remedy this in the slightest. So with this information, it's easy to assume that Peter Stark would have no family beyond his parents. This, however, couldn't be more wrong.

Howard Stark was not regarded as Tony Stark's father, at least not in his opinion. He never spent time with his son and when he did it was often to present him, like a trophy, to all his business associates. Maria Stark, his beloved mother, tried her hardest to show her son love, but it was hard for her; she was constantly being dragged from one gala to another, or playing the role of the perfect house wife overseas so Howard could secure another business deal, because who doesn't want to work with the loving, hardworking, family man.

But there were two constants in Tony's life: Edwin Jarvis, the family butler, who was more of a father to Tony then Howard ever was, and unfortunately passed away after moving back to England, following the death of his wife, Anna. Gone but not forgotten, Tony was certain the namesake A.I would make sure of that. Also, the genius had Margaret Carter, Aunt Peggy, to show him affection when no one else could. She showered Tony with, love, hugs and never forgot his Birthday. Now, she was still alive and would be damned if she wasn't there to greet her grandson when he joined the rest of them on the earth. Plus she was married to a man called Daniel Sousa who was more than happy to be Peter's pseudo grandpa.

When a 15 year old Tony Stark went to MIT he wasn't expecting to (or wanting to) make any friends; Sharon, Peggy's niece, who was determined to follow in her aunts footsteps and become a SHIELD agent, was his best friend. Though she kind of had to stay with him since she was basically family. His way of thinking was changed, however, when he met met James Rhodes, Rhodey, the 18 year old JROTC student who stuck up for the nerdy little rich boy when no one else would. The man who would soon become his best friend (sorry not sorry Sharon) that would invite him over for the holidays . At first, he always declined, not wanting to impose - he promised himself he wouldn't be a burden. But after Anna's death and Jarvis's retirement back to England soon after, he reluctantly agreed one year. That year was not only the best Christmas he ever had but it was year Roberta Rhodes walked into his life. The strong, kindhearted woman, who took one look at the small 17 year old and decided that she would look after him. The woman Tony was proud to call Momma Rhodes. {AN: it's canon in the comics that she becomes Tony's legal guardian and I'm so happy} So Peter has 2 Grandmas now, well, the more the merrier.

Saying James Rhodes was very excited to be an uncle is an understatement. He argued with the father of the child over whose turn it was to hold him! If you asked Happy Hogan if he was excited to be an uncle, he would claim that he hates children. Though when Peter started to develop kneecaps Happy started to spend a significant amount of time with the child. He would be not happy if you pointed it out though. {AN: get it happy heh heh puns}

So Junior Stark had a big family, bigger than some kids had actually. Sure it was a bit mismatched but he was no ordinary kid and he had no ordinary family.
