Tony pov.

I woke up in excruciating pain. It felt like i couldn't breathe so a simple whimper slipped out of my mouth. Steve then looked over to me putting down a book he was reading and gently grabbed my hand. "Are you ok? You have to breathe." He whispered pushing some of my hair out of my face. I only sighed as the pain left. Steve then helped me sit up as i scanned the room. "Where is Nat and Loki?" I asked remembering that they were here earlier. "They left about fifteen minutes ago, but their coming back." He said as i nodded. "I hate this." I mumbled as the pain came back. "I know you do." Steve mumbled as he rubbed my back. I looked out of the window seeing the sun already going down. 

"What time is it?" I asked as i stared out of the window at New York and the cars down below. "It's 6:15 i think." Steve said with a sigh. "Is Nat and Loki on their way or something because am hungry." I say as the pain left once again. "I could text them and ask them to bring food. What do you want?" He asked already picking up his phone. "Shawarma and a slushy please. Oh and if they haven't left the tower can they bring my blanket and pregnancy pillow?" I mumbled as the babies shifted a bit. Instead of placing my hand where they moved i placed my hand on my back rubbing it. 

"Alright, they said they can get it." Steve said as he put his phone back down and sat behind me and started rubbing my back. "You didn't have to-" Steve then cut me off. "I do and i will." He said as he started to rub my back making small moans escape my lips. A small knock then came from the door before it opened. "Tony your awake." Dr. Cho said with a big smile. "I am, i think the contraction got closer and stronger." I said as Steve nodded. "Ok, we can check and see how far dilated you are." She said as Steve moved from behind me and i laid back down. My legs went back up onto the stilts as she checked. Dr. Cho only sighed as she put my legs back onto the bed. 

"It barely moved, but your now 6 meters dilated." Steve then looked at her confused as he helped me sit up. "Wasn't he 5 centimetres when we brought him?" He asked before grabbed his hand as a contraction started. "He was, but i can assure you that that's fine." She said as she scribbled something onto her clip board. "If you aren't seven centimetres by 12 tonight i might have to schedule a c-section." She said as my eyes widened a bit. "But isn't that a lot more dangerous? Especially in my case?" Dr. Cho then nodded sadly as my contraction left. 

"If we put you under for a c-section your chance of dying increases to 90 percent." She mumbled as i could feel tears in my eyes. "What can we do to not come to that out come?" Steve asked as he rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand. "Am going to bring what we call a birthing ball for you to bounce on. I would have considered maybe walking around but am not to sure about that yet." She said as she walked out of the room. 

"90 percent." I mumbled as tears streamed down my face. Steve immediately got up from his chair and sat in front of me. "No, no 90 percent. Your not going to get a c-section. I promise." He said as he wiped my tears. "B-But-" Steve then cut me off by shushing me. As he did that a contraction came back and i whimpered. Steve then brought me into a hug rubbing my back with a sigh. "Your not going, and that's final. Your not dying, and that is definitely final. Your going to live to see your babies." Steve mumbled as i nodded. The door then opened to Dr. Cho bring a bright blue ball and putting it in the corner of the room. 

"Whenever your ready you can use it." She said before looking up at us sadly. "Oh my Tony am sorry i should have said things more carefully." She said as guilt consumed her. "No-no, its fine." I say as i pushed myself off of Steve as the contraction left. She only nodded before exiting the room. I quickly slid off of the bed and went over to the ball and started bouncing. Steve swiftly took out his phone and snapped couple photos before giving me a huge smile. "Fuck you Rogers." I mumble as i continued to bounce on the ball rubbing my belly a bit.
