Tony and Pepper secretly adopted a two year old a few months ago and he had already formed bonds with the couple, calling them 'Mama Pep and Papa Tony'. It was the cutest thing in the world.

It totally didn't melt Tony's heart when the two year old did this. Totally.

When Pepper met little Peter, she instantly fell in love with him. When Peter first called her 'Mama Pep' she almost cried.

Tony was also instantly in love with the kid. And when Peter first hugged him, did Tony cry a little? Maybe, maybe not. We'll never know. Well, Pepper knows so does Peter. Ok, fine. He did cry a little. Then when Peter first called him 'Papa Tony' oh boy, Tony was a mess.

-----current day------

Pepper took Peter with her to work, where Tony was talking with the Avengers. So when she had a long meeting that she knew Peter would get bored at, she took Peter upstairs to Tony. When Tony heard the elevator doors open he got up and walked out of the room, not caring that he was in the middle of a conversation.

"Stark!" Steve yelled as Tony walked away. Tony ignored it, continuing to walk away.

"Hey, Pep-oof!" Tony speaks, getting interrupted by the two year old jumping on him. He lifts Peter up in the air, earning some joy filled giggles from his son.

"Hey, hon. Can you watch Pete for an hour? I promise I'll be back in an hour. I have a meeting and it's a long one-" Pepper explains before she gets interrupted by Tony.

"Pep, you don't have to explain to me. Of course I'll watch him, I'm just talking with the Secret Boy Band. It's about nap time anyway. Hey, has he been fed?" Tony asks, pressing a kiss to Pepper's lips when he's done talking. Pepper pulls away when the baby squished in between them starts to squirm.

"Of course I fed him."

"Ok, honey. So I can just lay him in our bed here and have FRIDAY watch him?" As soon as Tony asked that, he knew he said the wrong thing.

"I'd feel a bit better if you stayed with him. I'm sorry, just he's never slept in a big bed like ours alone." Pepper explains with a guilty expression. 

"Does Papa Tony not want me hewe?" Peter asks softly, with tears shining in his eyes.

"No, no, chipmunk. Of course Papa Tony wants you here." Tony quickly reassures the child in his arms, as he pulls Peter closer to him and gives him a gentle but tight squeeze. Pepper lays a soft hand on her child's back.

"So I get to sway hewe witf Papa Tony?" (stay, here and with)

"Of course."

"Yay!" Peter exclaims with a loud giggle as Tony and Pepper both kiss his cheeks.

"Ok, I have to go down to my meeting. I'll be back in a few hours." Pepper says, getting back in the elevator.

"Wave bye-bye to Mama Pep, Pete," Tony says, looking at the child. Peter lifts an arm and waves to his adopted mother. Once Pepper is safely in the elevator, Peter lets out a huge yawn. "Aww, is someone tired, Underoos?" Tony asks in a gentle teasing tone while rubbing the kid's back. Peter tucks his head into Tony's neck and slightly nods. "Ok, lets get you to bed, mister. You and I get to lay in the bed Mama Pep and I have here."

"Is it swft?" When Peter is tired or upset he talks like a baby his age or a one-year old. (soft)

"Its very soft. Let's go, we can cuddle in the bed." Tony walks towards the bedroom, not caring about the Avengers in the other room. Peter nods again.

Tony and Peter get to the bedroom and since the child is already wearing soft clothes and is super tired, Tony makes the executive decision to keep him in what he's already wearing.

~~~~meanwhile with the avengers~~~~

"Where did Stark go?" Steve growls. Natasha gets up and leaves the room. "Romanoff! Where are you going?" Steve asks, slightly softer but still angrily.

"To find Stark." Natasha says, walking away. "FRIDAY, where is Stark?" Natasha asks, still wandering around.

"I believe that is classified information, Ms. Romanoff." FRIDAY responds. Natasha's eyes narrow as she stops wandering.

"Why? What does Stark have to hide?"

"I believe that is also classified information, Ms. Romanoff."

"Fine."

~~~~with our irondad and spiderson~~~~

"Boss, I believe Ms. Romanoff is looking for you, and is about to wander into classified areas," FRIDAY alerts in a low volume as to not wake the sleeping child on Tony's chest.

"Um...ok. I don't want to leave. Pepps would kill me and Peter will wake up. Try telling her to leave and go back to the conference room." Tony responds.

After a few minutes, FRIDAY comes back over the speaker, "She won't leave. What shall I do?"

"Ok," Tony runs his hand over his face he lets out a sigh, thinking. "Is the meeting Pepper is in important?"

"No, boss. It is just a routine board meeting."

"Ok, are they almost done?"

"No, they aren't, however, they are going over the finances from the last month."  

Tony sighs, "Can you ask her to cut it short and come up here now?"

"Of course, she is on her way, shall I tell her what is going on?

Tony lets out the breath that he was holding without realizing it,"Yes, tell her now and let her know that I would deal with it on my own but our kid is napping on me."

"Of course, boss."

"Thank you," Tony mumbles, wrapping his other arm around his child. The father holds his son gently to his chest and rolls over, carefully.  Soon Pepper walks in to see her boys cuddling.

"Hi, Tony," Pepper softly says.

"Hey, Pepps, I would have taken care of Natashalie myself but, I had a sleeping kid on my chest and you told me not to leave him alone in this huge bed." Tony rushes to explain to his wife,

"No, no, babe, trust me it's more than ok, I want to help you. What you did wasn't out of self-centeredness, it was out of love for our son."

"Can you join in on the cuddles?" Tony asks.

"Yeah, of course, I'd love to."

"'ama Pep? Papa 'ony?" Peter asks with that cute baby voice.

"Yeah, buddy?" Pepper responds to her son, joining him in Tony's arms.

"Its ok, chipmunk, go back to sleep if you want, if not then we'll stay here and cuddle you for a while, ok?"

"Hun'ey." (hungry)

"Yeah? Well, how about I go get some food for all of us and we can have a picnic on the bed, how does that sound?" Pepper asks, rubbing Peter's back.

"'es!" (Yes!)

"All right, I'll be right back. Play with Papa Tony until I get back." Pepper lays a kiss a on Peter's forehead. After she pulls away, she plants one on Tony's forehead as well. Pepper leaves the room and goes to the kitchen.

"Come here, bambino." Tony opens his arms for the two year old to cuddle. Peter lays in his arms, putting his face in the crook of Tony's neck, using his little chubby hands to play with his father's hair. Tony lays a gentle hand on Peter's back, carefully rubbing. He wraps the other around the child as well.

Soon Pepper comes back into the room with a basket. She sits down next to her boys and takes out the contains of the basket. Tony carefully sits up with the baby in his arms. He moves Peter to be sitting on his lap. Peter waves at his mother.

"Hi, baby," Pepper kisses Peter on the forehead.

"What about me?" Tony childishly asks, pouting at his wife.

"What about you?" Pepper responds.

"You kissed Peter. I want a kiss." Tony pouts. Pepper shakes her head before kissing his forehead.

"Happy?"

"Very."

"Mama Pep, what in the basket?" Peter asks.

"It's a picnic for the three of us, baby." Pepper smiles at her adoptive son. She gently takes Peter from Tony so that he help her set up the picnic on the floor. 

"Bambino, we're gonna eat on the floor," Tony tells the toddler in an over-exaggeratedly excited voice. 

"That silly!" Peter giggles.  Both Tony and Pepper take this moment to appreciate how adorable their son truly is. 

"It is a bit silly, isn't it?" Pepper loves how amazing of a father Tony is to their adopted son. 

Yes, originally, they were looking to adopt someone a little older, however, the moment they met this kid, they just knew that they couldn't adopt anyone else. The couple could not have ever imagined how truly amazing their life has become.  

"I love you guys," Pepper kisses both boys' heads. 

"We love you too, Pep," Tony responds with a soft smile.
