I know I said Monday but I thought I'd just do a super long chapter and finish up this story. Enjoy!

Pepper POV

"I object."

His Ironman voice boomed throughout the sanctuary. My Ironman had come! Tony came! Happiness exploded inside of me as I stepped forward to run to him. But someone grabbed my arm, yanking me back and onto the ground. I glanced up to see Will holding my arm. I struggled under Will's weight, trying to get free.

"Pepper!" I heard Tony call as he ran down the aisle toward me. Suddenly behind him two burly men raced forward and grabbed the arms of the Ironman suit, weighing him down.

"Tony!" I screamed, struggling against Will's arm. Tony quickly ran an electric current over his suit, shocking the two men as my parents ran in. My dad shot his favorite shotgun at Tony, bullets bouncing off with small clinks. I screamed my head off as Tony got hit over and over with bullets. I suddenly heard Will muttering to himself. Disbelief was on his face as he watched to scene unfold in front of us.

Zap!

My parents both collapsed in a heap. Behind them stood James and Natalie, or I guess Natasha was her correct name, holding tasers.

"That is what happen when you mess with my best friend and the love of his life." James said. I grinned as Ironman got up and walked over to me, knocking Will aside with one arm like he was a fly. He helped me up and I threw my arms around his neck.

"I missed you." I whispered.

"Cover your head." He whispered back. I threw my arms above my head as he shot the glass dome above our heads. Glass rained down and I squeezed my eyes closed. I felt a strong metallic arm wrap around my waist and pull me close. I looked up and threw my arms around his neck. With one final look around at my family and friends, we shot clears through the ceiling into the wide-open sky. Now normally I hated flying. Period. But the shock of the weekend and the happiness that was filling my stomach overwhelmed me and I laughed. Enjoying being in Tony's arms and soaring across the sky.

"So let me get this straight, Will is actually Justin Hammer?" I asked shocked as we sat on his private jet. Tony nodded, sipping his champagne.

"Wait, we'll your childhood ex-boyfriend does exist, but he is in Europe. Justin posed as Will to get to you and ultimately take control of Stark Industries." He explained. I nodded. Still shocked at the course of events.

"And my parents?" I asked.

"Unfortunately they were your parents. And they were arrested. Don't worry, nothing has been released to the press. Natasha called Coulson and he is dealing with it." Tony said. I nodded and drank some more from my glass. A thought popped into my head.

"But why was Hammer shocked to see you at the wedding?" I asked.

"Because he shot me." Tony said nonchalantly. My eyes widened.

"He SHOT you?" I asked shocked.

"But... He hit me in my arc reactor. It didn't break because before we left I had a metal case installed around it to protect while I'm in battle. He ran out so fast he didn't notice I was still alive." I shook my head in disbelief. A lot had happened this weekend. Some, weren't the best. But one thing stood out among the rest; I loved Tony Stark. My heart swelled as he moved around the table to sit next to me. I rested my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me. I was the happiest girl in the world right now. And we stayed like that, all the way to California.

Tony POV

Arriving at the Stark mansion, I told Pepper to go put something pretty on and meet me on the balcony. She nodded suspiciously and walked to our room and put something on. Meanwhile I had gone down to my workshop that has a separate bathroom too. Since Pepper takes hours getting ready I figured I had enough time to shower, shave, and become gorgeous before Pepper was out of the shower. Straightening my bow-tie I wandered to the safe in the back of my workshop. Opening the safe I dug through years of my life to find a small black box in the back. Opening it I saw my mother's ring. Gold with rubies. It made sense, Ironman colors. I decided not to mention this to Pepper or she might not want it. A nervous knot wove its way into my stomach. I had planned this while I was being held captive. I never want to leave Pepper again. And I wanted to marry her soooooo bad! But what if she said no? I brushed that thought from my mind as I walked to the balcony that over looked the the ocean and waited.

Pepper POV

I looked at myself in the mirror. The midnight blue dress I wore to the concert hall all those months ago adorned my shoulders. I remembered to put deodorant on and did my make and hair to perfection. I kept reminding myself that if Tony loved me, he wouldn't care what I looked like. Deciding this was as good as I could get, I walked to the living room and opened the door to the balcony. And he was there. In a tux. The last light from the setting sun outlined his figure and made it seem like he was glowing. His head turned when I walked out, tried to keep my breath steady. He smiled as I walked to stand next to him.

"Your wearing the dress with no back." He remarked. "I thought it had bad memories." I gave a small smile as I watched the ocean splash onto the shore.

"I thought I'd give it another chance." I said smoothly. He smiled. Then looked troubled. He cleared his throat before turning to face me. He took my soft hands in his rough ones and looked into my eyes.

"Pepper, I- I love you. And I know I'm a jerk a lot and you're amazing to put up with me, and I don't even come close to deserving you, but I just wanted to tell you that I want to be with you forever and stuff. So here it goes." Tears swelled up in my eyes as he said this and my heart stopped when he got down on one knee. "Pepper, will you marry me?" He reached into his coat pocket to pull out a black box. I used all my girl power to hod back a squeal.

"Y-yes. Yes!" I said finally. Tony grinned and stood up to sweetly kiss me on the lips. He slipped the beautiful ring on my finger. I looked up at the man I loved. Now that we were engaged I knew I'd never be alone. Tony would be there for me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and he wrapped my arms around me.

"Thank you for saving me." I whispered against his neck. He leaned his head on mine before answering.

"I will always save you Pepper."

Well that's it!

I would just like to thank everyone who ever read my story and thank you for sticking with me on this. I'm considering a one-shot for their wedding but we'll see. Once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Review please :)
