Riley's POV

"I'm so absolutely sick of being stuck here." I told Peter. When I was 28 weeks I was experiencing pre-term labor so my doctor put me on bed rest for three weeks now I have to take it easy.

Long story short dad won't let me leave the compound.

"Well your due date is tomorrow." Peter said. "Maybe he'll be a I'm born on my due date baby."

"Yeah I doubt that." I replied easing myself into a seat at the kitchen table.

"Still not gonna tell me the name?" He asked.

"Nope."

"Aw come on! Nat knows!" He complained.

"One Nat helped me pick it out. Two she's a spy and would have found out anyway. Three you suck at keeping secrets." I said.

He groaned and leaned back his chair into two legs before toppling over. I giggled and took a bite of my apple. "What are you two doing in here?" Dad asked walking in.

"Well we were having a conversation then he fell over." I said gesturing to Peter who was now picking up his chair.

"Your Dad's gonna kill you if you scuff up the floor, we just got moved back in." Dad said. I rolled my eyes and took another bite of my apple.

"If your grandson doesn't come soon I'm gonna go crazy." I said. "Then the floors will be real scuffed."

"He could come any day now Riley." Dad said patting my shoulder.

"He better." I replied. "I'm sick of feeling like a whale."

"You know this is exactly what your mom said when she was pregnant with you." He said. "And you were a week and a half late."

"Jesus." I sighed.

"My mom had to be induced with Morgan because she went two weeks past her due dad." Peter said.

"I hate you both." I said. Dad chuckled and Peter stuck his tongue out at me.

I stood up and walked over to the trash to throw away my apple core. Vision phased through the wall at that exact moment.

"I swear to god Vision if you don't stop doing that you're gonna scare this baby out of me." I said.

"Riley! Come on Charlie's on his way!" Peter shouted from the living room. Did I forget to mention me and Charlie started dating three months ago? I probably did, pregnancy brain is a real thing.

We started dating right before I got put on what I like to call house arrest. He's been amazing about it and comes out to see me almost everyday.

Me and Peter stood out in front of the compound waiting for Charlie.

"Miss Rogers, Mr Stark. Mr Quinn's car has entered the driveway." Friday said.

"Thanks Friday!" I said. Charlie's car pulled up and he stepped out.

"Hey babe." He said walking over and giving me and quick hug. "How's it going Peter?"

"I mean other than listening to Riley complain every five minutes, pretty good." Peter replied, I scoffed and tossed a small stone at his arm which he caught.

"Screw your reflexes!" I shouted exasperated and went back into the compound. Him and Charlie followed close behind.

The three of us sat in the living room and we played Mario kart because it's the only video game I'll play. "You're such a cheat!" I yelled at Peter after he beat me and Charlie for the fifth time.
