invincible iron man, pepper potts

Who: Extremis! Tony and Pepper Potts
When: Backdated a couple of days
Where: Their home in LA
Why: Tony wants to spend time with Pepper and the baby bump
Rating: Um dunno. It's us.

Sorely needing a break, food and a shower, and not in that particular order, Tony decided to emerge from his workshop for a little while. He hadn't been up to check on Pepper in a few hours, and she'd said her back was hurting, so he offered to give her a massage. But before that, he took a quick shower in the stall down in the workshop before changing clothes and heading up to see her. He'd forgotten to ask if she'd eaten or wanted anything, so he stopped by the kitchen to get her some crackers and a glass of juice just as a snack before dinner. She'd probably send him to Italy for real Chicken Parmesan for all he knew, so no use in preparing something that might make her gag as well.

Knocking on their bedroom door, he nudged it open and stepped inside, a box of animal crackers in one hand and a glass of juice in the other. He thought the animal crackers were a cute touch to cheer her up from being on bedrest so early in the pregnancy.

However Pepper wasn't there. She was in the bathroom, though she heard him knock and enter the room. A moment later there was water running and then she came out a second later, "Hi.." she greeted with a smile. "You know that's the third time I've peed in the last hour? Not a lie and I haven't really been drinking anything.." though she noticed he had brought her juice.

She went to go sit back down on the bed, and grinned a little, "Animal crackers? That's cute.." really she'd missed him when he wasn't upstairs keeping her company. "Do I have you for the rest of the night or are you going to go back downstairs before you go to bed?"

"The baby is already pressing on your bladder this much?" Tony's lips twisted in concern. Then again, she had suddenly been three months pregnant without warning. Maybe the baby was growing faster than it should. He'd have to have Jarvis scan her because that nag him until he knew the baby's developmental stage.

"Mhmm," he said as he set the glass down on her bedside table then started to open the box up for her then moved onto the bed next to her, leaning against the headboard. "Me, juice and animal crackers. What more could you need? And yes, that's enough work today. Have you eaten dinner? Do I need to fly to India for real curry?" He was really just teasing her, but she did send him on some weird craving runs at times.

"Yeah.. well.. I always had a weak bladder to begin with," she shrugged a little. Sure the baby was growing up faster then expected but she wasn't worry, everything was fine. "I'm fine.." she saw the look in his eyes. "Jarvis scans my every hour.. and if he says I'm fine, then I'm fine. I feel fine.. just .. having to pee a lot, that's all."

She took the box of animal crackers from him and reached inside to take one. "That's all I need.. um.. no, haven't had dinner yet. No.. not curry .. or.. I'm not sure what I'm craving. Take advantage of it and just.. I dunno, call for pizza or something.." she said in between bites of her cracker.

His expression softened when she reassured him that everything was alright, but still, just to be safe, he'd take a look at the individual scans himself later. He could just have Jarvis upload them where he could access them with Extremis. "Pizza...that's...a real switch from the things you've been eating. Craving something loaded with enough saturated fat to kill a small person?" He was joking, of course, and offered a small smile as he leaned in to get a cracker of his own. "As long as you eat, I don't care what it is or how much. I just want you and the little one to be happy and healthy," and he set his free hand over the swell of her stomach, rubbing gently. Tony couldn't be more thrilled to feel that, his child growing inside of her, especially with all they'd gone through for it.

Pepper gave him a Look, "I'm not craving anything. Fine fine if you want to order or make me some.. tofu.. healthy crap then I'll eat it.." really she would she didn't care. However she wasn't hungry enough, she could definitely wait until after the massage. "We're both just fantastic except for the parts of me that ache.." really she could deal with the peeing, it was the aching that was driving her batty. She smiled when he rubbed her stomach. "Please tell daddy that mommy needs a backrub.." she instructed her stomach.

Then he felt something that was like a kick near his hand, which made Tony smile all the more. "Looks like someone listens to Mommy. Has to be a girl because she agrees with you," he teased and leaned to give her a soft kiss against her cheek. "Backrub first, food later. Slide down and I'll get behind you so I can rub it." It'd just be easier that way. Once she'd moved for him, Tony slipped behind her and stretched his legs out around her, one leg dangling off the side of the bed. Pulling up her shirt, he slid his hands underneath it and pressed his fingers into her skin for a moment. "Nevermind, this has to go," and he made to pull off her shirt before he began.

She grinned too, "Fantastic.. us girls against you poor boys.. er boy. Daddy's going to be outnumbered.." and kissed his cheek in return. Moving down the bed enough for him to get behind her, she reached for a hair clip and piled all of her hair on top of her head so that it wouldn't get in his way and then scooted back a bit between his legs. She mm'd some, getting into it before he stopped and she sighed. She lifted her hands though so that he could take off her shirt.

But Tony cocked an eyebrow at that. Boys? She was pregnant with twins, was she? Hmm, he'd have to look into those scans after all. Make sure Jarvis wasn't keeping a nifty little surprise from them both. Once the shirt was out of the way, he dropped it to the floor and situated himself more comfortably behind her, placing a light kiss to her shoulder before he swept his fingertips over them and down her arms. "I really cannot wait to see him or her." Tony was really hoping it had red hair just like Pepper, and a small part of him wished for a girl. He didn't know why, but it just seemed...natural. "Alright, let's see about this backrub." Leaning her forward a little, he started at the base of her spine, he began to work his thumbs against it inwardly, pushing and kneading the flesh in an upward circular fashion. "Tell me if it's too hard or not enough."

She didn't know anything about twins, the words just kind of came out of her mouth because it didn't sound right otherwise. "I know you can't, neither can I.." she answered with a smile. She didn't know what she wanted, though twins would be amusing just to have one of each, er not that she was thinking like that really. She leaned forward as best as she could and gave a loud mmm when he hit the right spot, "No no.. that's .. that's good.. maybe a little harder.."

At one point, he pressed a little harder near the center of her backbone and felt one of her vertebrae pop. She was so tense, but that came as no surprise with having to lay in the bed and limited to only a handful of positions. He spread the massage out at first, but went back to the parts that felt particularly tight and worked on them. Her neck and shoulders were a mess, so Tony bore his fingers into the flesh there harder, occasionally using the heel of his palm. "Have you thought of any names you liked?" he asked, kissing her neck tenderly as he moved his hands back down her spine.

She gave a little grunt of either satisfaction or disapproval at the feel of her vertebrae popping, it was hard to tell which but she didn't tell him to stop at least. But mostly Pepper just sat there with her eyes shut, letting the feel of his fingers work their magic. "Mmm.. how about not Pepper or Virginia or any state. Maybe something simple, so she won't get picked on." I.e. Never calling her kid Apple or any kind of nonsense like that.

Since the other version of him had already made a Junior, that was out of the question, too. He gave a laugh as she said no state names. "I think your name suits you, either way. Virginia is very...proper. Old fashioned. That's the sort of image you give the people in public. Well, until that video came out. Now, I'm not so sure," he said in a teasing manner. "I think I want to deviate away from naming them after someone in particular. It's like giving them an identity to live up to."

	She gave a bit of a snort, "I had a nice image before the video? Wow I so didn't know that.. I thought being your assistant just made me downright dirty even without the videotape," she teased back. "Yeah.. I like that.. I kind of like the name Catherine. And Lilly. Olivia. Regan. Amelia.. what about you? You have any that you like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
