Chapter Text
The morning was cool but rainy. That didn’t matter to Tony all he wanted to do was to stay curled up in his husband's arms all day, but he knew that was impossible. Tony had to get to work dealing with national security as the leader of the Avengers. He still couldn’t believe they gave him the position after years of saying he was egotistical, selfish, and had the tendency of suicidal actions. He also had to admit he had grown up a lot from those days. He took better care of himself. Tony also found the love of his life and that was all because of one simple mission from Shield. Tony rolled over to feel the warmth of Steve but no such luck. He sat up and looked over at the nightstand to find a small note with a few flowers that must have been from Steve’s morning run.
Good morning dear, sorry I wasn’t there to give you a kiss and make some breakfast. Work called me in. They had a problem at the museum. It’s a long story. Tell you all about it over dinner.
~Love you, Steve
Steve had hung up the Shield right after they had gotten married. He felt the superhero life was too dangerous and he didn’t want to think about how much it would destroy Tony if he was killed in battle. Tony supported him on his decision, but it always worried him that Steve might regret that choice one day. Tony had to remind himself that Steve could go back anytime he wanted, and he was happy running his own museum. He got to choose what art would be shown and once a year he would hold an exhibit that had all of his own paintings. Some would be of Tony; others would be dark memories or beautiful landscapes. It changed every year.
Tony laid down the note and picked up the small white flowers gently tracing each petal. He would have to put them in the book where he kept all of the things he wanted to remember about Steve. Tony stretched and stood up to get his day started when a wave of dizziness came over him. He brushed it off as nothing thinking he might have just gotten up to quickly until nausea consumed him. He rushed to the bathroom and heaved everything that was in his stomach which wasn’t much. He didn’t know what was going on. Yeah, he felt a little fatigued for the last few days but nothing to be alarmed about, but this was out of character for him. Maybe today he would eat breakfast and then he would feel better.
“Tony, we need to pull the team from Benji while there are peace agreements happening.” Tony sat at his desk nursing a headache while trying to listen to Rhodey. He wished he just had taken off.
“Tony, are you even listening to me?” Tony stood up to come around Rhodey. The office was spinning really fast and his vision was blurring. “Hey, are you okay? You need to sit down.” Rhodey came around him to guide him back to his seat but he wasn’t fast enough. Tony closed his eyes and passed out. “Tony!”
Tony slowly opened his eyes to find himself still in his office. He watched as Rhodey paced back and forth on the phone either with 911 or Steve. “Rhodey, I’m fine just need some water.” Rhodey hung up the phone and walked over to Tony.
“You are not fine. You just fainted in the middle of your office. I tried calling Steve, but he didn’t pick up.”
“Good, no need to worry him since I am fine.” Rhodey ignore that statement and continued.
“Then I called Bruce and he said to bring you down there immediately.” Tony was about to argue back but he grabbed the trash can next to him and through up.
“What are your symptoms?” Bruce asked. Tony just rolled his eyes. He felt better and didn’t need to be down here when he had so much work to do.
“Well, I’ve been really tired recently and this morning I was a little dizzy. I fainted earlier but you already know that thanks to Rhodeybear and I have thrown up twice today.” Bruce didn’t say anything just nodded his head and typed away on his laptop. He walked over to one of his drawers and pulled out an item that Tony couldn’t really see to well.
“Here, go pee on this.” Bruce handed him a pregnancy test that took back Tony.
“Why?”
“Because every symptom you have led towards pregnancy. So, go take this and if it’s negative, we can rule it out but it’s positive then we need to get your body ready to carry a baby for nine months.” Tony’s heart pounded in his chest. It wasn’t like he hated the idea of having kids and he definitely didn’t hate the idea of having kids with Steve. It’s just they weren’t planning for this. Then he slapped a hand to his head. He knew exactly how this happened. New Year’s Eve and a little too much alcohol.
After sitting in the bathroom for several minutes he just stared at the positive pregnancy test. He was pregnant with the love of his life, Mr. Captain America’s baby. He stood up. His legs were shaking not out of fear but excitement. They would have a baby in nine months that would look just like them and would grow up knowing they were loved by so many people. Tony placed a hand on his stomach and took a deep breath.
“So, what does it say?” Tony handed the stick over to Bruce where he saw the plus sign. Bruce ran over to Tony and gave his friend a hug while Tony just cried in his arms. They heard a click of the door and saw Rhodey walk in with a worried look on his face. “Is everything okay? Tony are you dying.” Tony shook his head no and laughed.
“Steve and I are going to have a baby. I’m pregnant.” And it was Rhodey’s turned to give him a hug. “You’re telling me I’m going to be an Uncle.” Tony shook his head yes.
Tony laid on the bed with his shirt up exposing his belly. He knew it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but he really thought he could see his stomach start to curve. Bruce squirted the cold gel all over sending shivers through his body. He looked over at the monitor and saw his little baby. It was just a small peanut with no features yet, but it was beautiful.
Tony finished setting the table with candles and a vase with flowers in it. He ordered Italian food and set it all out. He even had Steve’s special present all set up. The only thing missing was Steve. Tony checked his watch and saw it was ten till seven. Right when he was going to text him the front door of their apartment cracked up revealing his husband. Tony jumped up and ran over to him placing several kisses to his face.
“Hello, to you too dear. What is this all about? Which I’m not complaining but it is just Tuesday.” Steve chuckled as Tony dragged him to the table sitting him down and shoved the present into his hands.
“Open now, please.” Tony grinned from ear to ear with excitement.
“What is going on Tony?”
“Open.” Steve did as told but slowly knowing it would kill Tony. Then he paused when he saw what was inside of it. Steve turned to Tony with a confused look.
“What is this?” Tony came around him and pulled out the test and the sonogram photo. “That’s our baby, Steve. I’m pregnant.” Tony bit his lip in nervousness as Steve just stared at the items in front of him. He was perplexed and didn’t know how to process the information that he was given.
“You’re pregnant with my baby.” Tony nodded. “You’re pregnant with my baby.” Steve jumped up and spun Tony around. He placed his hands over Tony’s abdomen. He was going to be a dad and he never felt so happy in his life. He leaned down closer and placed an ear. “Hi, baby. It’s daddy. I just found out about you, but I love you. When did you find out?”
“This morning.” Steve placed a kiss to Tony’s lips and lifted him up into his arms.
“I love you so much. I want to make love to you right now.” Steve carried him into their room laying him down gently onto the bed.
“That was what got us in this situation in the first place.” Steve placed a kiss in the hollow of his neck.
“And I would do it again.”
