So first of all before I start, I would like to apologize that it took so long for me to update because something happened to my old computer where all my chapters were, and now I have to start all over on another computer, so updates might be further apart but I will promise to try to update every weekend.

Thank you for all the reviews, it really humbles me as a person and as a writer. You guys are sweet people and I will definitely try my best to improve. I'm glad that you like my story and I hope it entertains y'all a lot.

Disclaimer : none of the characters are mine, except the juniors, and the mistakes. The mistakes are definitely mine. PS. If there are spelling mistakes and structural mistakes I will fix them immediately. I'm on my old computer and when it comes to typing there's this error where it just likes to move place and start randomly typing so if I somehow miss them please let me know.

He can't believe this is happening. His body shakes inside his suit and sweat pours from his forehead. This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to be called in for a mission, His girlfriend wasn't supposed to give birth to their beautiful child in at least 3 weeks. He had refused to go, but she had persuaded him, arguing that the world needs iron man and that she wouldn't be giving birth in another few weeks anyway, oh but how wrong were the both of them.

He gets that phone call in the middle of a fight and he almost didn't pick up, but when he sees Pepper's number he knew he had to. She doesn't call him on missions unless it's really important or unless she's really worried. He didn't expect the news to come when he told Jarvis to connect the line.

"Tony?"

"Rhodey? Why is Pepper's phone with you? Is Pep okay?"

"She's in the hospital." Rhodey said. Tony froze inside his suit, lucky for him Steve was behind him and had reacted fast enough to cover him with his shield.

"Is everything okay?"

"The baby's coming. You need to be here, she won't push unless you're here."

"I'll be there as soon as possible."

Tony looked at Steve who obviously understood the situation he was in. The Captain gave him a nod as he turned his jets on and flew up, heading back home. His thoughts were running a thousand miles an hour and he thinks he might get another nervous breakdown. He closes his eyes and tries to calm down, reminds himself that Pepper was waiting for him and that she needed him to be strong. He smiled to himself as he imagined holding his baby in his arms after all this was over. They've been waiting for this moment for 9 long months, and now it was finally becoming a reality. At this thought he flew faster, wanting to see his Pepper as fast as he could.

He was greeted with the sight of his red-headed girlfriend in a hospital gown, trying to not scream as a mix of sweat and tears flowed freely down her face. He ran to her side in a few strides and grabbed a hold of her hand, whispering calming words. She opened her eyes when she noticed his presence, and tightened her grip on his hand. He wrapped his free arm around her and continued whispering in her ear.

"You can do this Pepper, come on, a little bit more."

"I can't. It hurts Tony I can't."

"Come on, You're Pepper Potts, no is not in your vocabulary. In a few minutes we're going to be able to see the life we both created, so just a little bit more love, I know you can do it."

"I swear to God once your child is out of my body we're never having sex again!" Pepper screamed as another contraction hit her and her body shot up.

Tony's face scrunched in discomfort as her grip on his hand tightened. He tried to not make a sound as he knows that the pain she's going through was much worse than his. He's not allowed to be idiot Tony right now. He had to be kind, compassionate, Fatherly, Loving Tony.

"I can see the head! A few more pushes Ms. Potts, and this will all be over with." Dr. Montgomery, the OB-GYN said.

"Come on Pep," Tony said, trying to encourage pepper, running his fingers through her hair in a soothing manner, also to support her head.

"It hurts!" Pepper screamed as another contraction hit her, and more tears flowed down her face. She gave one big last grunt and a push and the sounds of soft cries filled the room. Pepper threw her fatigued body back on the bed, sobbing softly as Tony put his face on top of hers, their lips mere inches from each other.

"You did it." He said, kissing her softly.

Pepper let out a sound which was in between laughing and crying and Tony smiled.

"Mr. Stark, would you like to hold your daughter?" Dr. Montgomery smiled at him, and both Tony and Pepper's face lit up.

"daughter?" He asked, the smile on his face indicating his sheer happiness.

"Yes Mr. Stark, a daughter."

"God, Pep, she's so beautiful." Tony said, his eyes welling up. "Would you like to hold her?"

"Yes please." Tony said like an eager 5 year old.

Pepper laughed at this.

"I thought you didn't like being handed things?" She smiled.

"There will only be one thing I will accept when handed by other people, excluding you," Tony said, "It's her."

"We made a baby girl Potts, god she's so beautiful" Tony laughed as the baby girl snuggled in further and smiled a little. "She looks a lot like you."

"She does look like me." Pepper smiled again,

"God I love you so much. Thankyou so much Pepper, for giving me her. You don't know how much this means to me."

"No, Tony, Thank You. You gave me her."

"Shut up, you did all the work here." Tony said, as Pepper moved a side and patted the side of her bed, motioning for tony to sit in. He handed her their daughter as he hopped on to the hospital bed, his arms around her as he watched his two girls interact with each other.

"We should call her something." Pepper mumbled, "We can't just call her, her."

"Why don't we say random names and see which she likes?"

"That's actually a very good idea." Pepper smiled, "Let's see, baby girl, what do you think we should call you?"

"Amanda?"

The little girl's eyes widened, and Pepper laughed as she managed an expression that looked a lot like a glare to Tony.

"Jeez, calm down," Tony joked, "I was just making a suggestion. She's feisty."

"I guess she just doesn't like the name." Pepper laughed again, She was falling deeper in love with Tony every day, and now with the little human they made safely held in her arms she felt complete.

"Abigail?" Tony suggested again,

"I think you're close."

"How do you know she doesn't like the name Abigail, and How do you know that I'm close?"

"Never doubt a mother's intuition Tony, Trust me."

"Andrea?"

"I actually like that name Tony." Pepper smiled, "Do you like it little one?"

The baby wailed a little in Pepper's arms and Tony laughed this time.

"I guess she doesn't like it? Gee, Pep, She's really hard to please."

"Tony, What about Alexandra?" Pepper suggested, Tony's eyes lit up a bit, and Pepper knows that she's finally got the right name when the little girl's eyes widened and she smiles, snuggling closer to Pepper, seeking her mother's warmth.

"I'm guessing she likes it?"

"Oh she definitely does. "

"Alexandra Stark?"

"I think that has a nice ring to it, Don't you?"

"I think it's a beautiful name."

"Alexandra Elisabeth Stark."

"Alexandra Elisabeth Stark." Pepper repeated, her eyes met Tony's and they kissed, soft, filled with love.

"Thank you." Pepper whispered, and at that moment Tony swears he feels complete.

Pepper finally got discharged two days later, and as they made their way out of the hospital they were immediately crowded by the press. Pepper was carrying little Alexandra, and Tony made sure to body block his daughter's face. Who would want their child's face to be in the front page of a tabloid a few days after they're born? After a lot of rustling they finally made their way to the car. Tony opened the door, and made sure Pepper and his daughter got in the car safely before he got in, closed the door and told Happy to drive off.

They arrive 10 minutes later, and Tony took Alexandra from Pepper's arms as the two made their way inside the house. It hits Pepper that they hadn't prepared a nursery. Tony was supposed to get working on it after the mission, but he never got the time.

"We don't have anywhere to put her." Pepper said to Tony, and much to her surprise he just smirked and walked towards the bedroom across theirs.

"Steve and Bruce helped me with this, and I managed to get it done two days ago while you were still at the hospital. I hope the paint dries fully, I've scanned it twice, and the paint's smell and toxic has cleared up, and it's completely child proof." Tony explained as he watched Pepper's eyes scan the nursery Tony had created.

"You designed all this?"

"No, that one's all Natasha. She has surprisingly good designing skills might I add."

"Remind me to thank her when she comes over." Pepper smiled, taking Alexandra from Tony's arms, placing her in the crib.

"This is amazing," Pepper said as Tony wrapper his hands around her hips, pulling her close as the two watched their daughter's eyes shut, falling into a deep slumber. "I love you."

"I love you too."
