Baby Spider

Chapter 3

Tony looked at the phone as he seemed to weigh his opinions of picking up, however, he then remembered that Pepper could push the phone through if she wanted to and that was an even scarier thought on its own. It felt like karma was coming after all those times he pushed the phone in to Peter and wondered if this was his own karma catching up on him for this reason.

Everyone quietly held their own breath knowing it would be worse if he did not answer. They were too afraid of Ms Pepper Potts herself, all were thankful Loki was not there or he would tell Tony to run and hide making it worse for himself and everyone else.

Tony gulped as he answered the phone trying to downplay his own panic and be the suave man he is known for being. Although he knew that Pepper would see through it most likely. Pepper and Peter were the only ones that could see through Tony's facade. No matter how hard he tried to stay calm in front of them it never worked which was why it was practically impossible to hide things.

"Oh good morning, Sunshine! How'd the conference call go?...Peter? Oh he's...doing greaaaat. Happily ate his breakfast...He's playing now..." He was losing his cool toned lie and had the expression on his face that he was for sure caught in the lie every single time he started to stutter. When he hung up the call and his whole body just slummed.

Tony let out a sigh of relief then freaked when his phone began to ring again with Pepper's number. Tony looked at the phone as he seemed to weigh his opinions of picking up again however then he remembered that Pepper could push the phone through if she wanted and that was an even scarier thought on its own. Felt like karma all those times he pushed the phone in to Peter and wondered if this was karma catching up on him for this reason.

Everyone quietly held their own breath as they urged Tony to answer knowing it would be worse if he did not answer. They were too afraid of Ms Pepper Potts herself all were thankful Loki was not there or he would tell Tony to run and hide making it worse for himself and everyone else.

"Hey honey, sorry it kinda um cut off so that's why the phone um well hung up," Tony stammered his way to the lie failing miserably at his poor attempt at his own lie as he picked up the phone. He had known that it would be worse if he did not bother answering. He wished he was really good at lying like he usually is to others but not to Peter and Pepper. Ironically both names started with the letter P and he could not lie to save his own life and that was a depressing fact.

The rest of the Avengers stayed quiet while looking for the baby trying to not arouse the suspicion of the most fearsome woman that they knew. Also rolling their eyes how bad Tony was at lying towards his fiancee.

"Oh Peter you want to talk to him?" Tony responded, "Um well."

Everyone froze in fear terrified she had somehow found out that they lost her child because at this point Pepper had practically become his mother and she was extremely overprotective of him.

They all remembered how weeks before they tried to prank him and succeeded however the little devil was a genius and told Pepper that they were mean to him. She absolutely lost it and went off on them while Peter stood behind smirking at them. Or the time when both Tony and Peter pulled an all nighter and Pepper was furious at Tony as he got in trouble while Peter was coddled.

Pepper's response was, "Anthony Edward Stark you are the adult here you need to be firm and not let his puppy dog eyes just win you over. I don't want this angel gaining all your bad habits; he needs a healthy sleeping schedule."

Tony grumbled a little bit but ultimately he ended up cuddling with Peter when Peter gave him his famous puppy dog eyes with an adorable little pout adding the fact that he looked so tired it was impossible for him to resist. They fell asleep together in Tony and Pepper's room while Pepper had been getting ready for a meeting. So when she had walked out of the room she told the rest of the Avengers to be quiet since both Tony and Peter were asleep and if they were woken up there would be hell to pay.
