"He's filling your head with nonsense, pumpkin, don't listen to him." Pepper said in defense but with good nature, carefully pulling her baby back into her arms to give Tony a rest, please how well this conversation was turning out. She shrugged. "The baby faced farm boy never did anything for me. When I don't know much about a character, I can make up my own stories and maybe a few fantasies. Wedge was just there when I needed him to be and things went from there. No complaints."
Unfortunately, Pepper had plenty of insight about Steve Rogers and none of it was information she was at liberty to share, but she wanted to say something, to ease Tony's mind a little. "Steve and I are good friends. He and Natasha have been a big help with Chayse and built the crib she uses. You might try reaching out again, but I wouldn't stress yourself about him. He's happy. You're happy. Eventually, a friendship might happen. Eventually."
