Chapter One: A New Addition to the Family

After waiting for awhile, here it is like I promise. A Girl Named Panic's sequel! This story has an all new plot line with all the same amazing characters plus a few new ones and Panic is still going to the the narrator. I hope everyone who loved the original series likes this new series and if you don't like the first chapter I promise it'll get better. Be sure to follow this story and leave me comments and if you haven't read A Girl Named Panic, do so now before reading this one. Enjoy!

Memory's of that day, that battle, still rush through my head every now and again, bugging me when I least want to deal with them. Never in nightmare form, just quick flashes when I'm working on something. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is Monday meaning, hooray... the first day of high school, notice the sarcasm. On top of it all Monday is also my sixteenth birthday which I'm seriously dreading. Most teenagers love their sixteenth birthday especially if they have rich parents who'll buy them everything on God's creation but not me.

I'd be perfectly fine with not doing anything for my birthday. It only reminds me of my mom and how she isn't here with me anymore and don't get me wrong, I am glad that I now have my dad Tony in my life, it's just that he can't replace my mom. I'm gonna abuse this last free day though. Do I think that high school's gonna be hard? Hell no, nothing is hard for me, never has been seeing as I have my fathers intelligence.

Nat hasn't contacted me since New York considering cyclopes probably forbid her from doing so as she has missions to complete. I really do miss having her around though. Pepper promised that she would be the one to drive me to school tomorrow since it's my first day. I'm still friends with Steve Rogers and I managed to make friend with all the other Avengers as well but Fury still doesn't seem to really like me but then again that guys hates everybody. As for my dad Tony, well he's been in his workshop building something.

I've never been down in his workshop, not because he's ever said I can't but I've never been given permission to go down there. Plus, considering that we've only been getting along for two months and he only recently found out I exist, I really don't wanna overstep my boundaries.

"Miss Stark, you've been laying there motionless for an hour, are you planning on getting up anytime soon?" JARVIS, my dad's AI system asks.

"Yeah, thank you JARVIS" I reply, pulling myself up out of the bed. I pull my hair loose from the ponytail I tied and let it fall down around me. I throw my closet doors open and pull out a pair of skinny jeans with holes ripped in the knees and a white tank top with a pink heart and a skull with a black crown on its head that has a small banner at the bottom with "Punk Rock Princess" written on it. The tank top actually had fishnet sleeves that stop at my wrists. I pull on the high heeled boots Nat gave me and luckily now I can finally walk in them without falling flat on my face.

As soon as I'm dressed I skip my way down the staircase to see Pepper and Tony sitting together on the couch, talking very closely about something, not noticing my presence at all. Their conversation seem very important by the look on Pepper's face so I do what I do best. I hide behind the wall and listen to their conversation because it most likely has something to do with me.

"—Are you sure that's a great idea Tony?" Pepper asks, a tone of worry in her voice.

"Who care's Panic will get over it and besides it's our decision. If I wanna add a new member to this family I sure as hell will" he replies nonchalantly.

"It's gonna be hard for her to adjust to such a sudden change, should we talk to her about this first. You know, before we make any serious plans?"

"No, she's a strong girl. She'll be fine, I'm pretty sure she'll be happy about it."

I silently get up and slowly tread up the staircase and hole up on the bed in my room. My knees are pulled to my chest, arms wrapped around them, while my head rests atop of my kneecaps. I can't believe what I just overheard, it's a good thing that I'm super nosy. Even my mind can't even comprehend what just happened, are Pepper and my dad seriously planning on having a baby without even telling me like my life doesn't matter enough to be aware of their plans. How can they do this to me without even telling me!?

Even if that makes me sound selfish I think it's totally justified. I go my whole life without having my father apart of it, then her finds out, and now that we're finally together and he can get to know me this happens. They should at least have the decency to tell me to my face that they're gonna have another kid so that I can at least say my peace. Maybe I should just runaway and get it over with so then they don't have to tell me at all. If I do that I won't be the forgotten child.

I had one friend back when I was in elementary school who was an older sister and she told me that it was awful. The baby is born and I understand that they need a lot of attention because they can't take care of themselves but it gets much worse. That new kid will get older and eventually will be regarded as the baby of the family. The kid who can do whatever they want and the parents will buy them anything and everything. While, on the other hand, the older kids, such as myself, are forgotten about and become withdrawn and are never really paid attention to.

This new kid will be spoiled rotten because it'll be Tony's first kid. Well first kid in the sense that he actually has to raise, I'm still just the bastard kid he got stuck with and as much as I try to get rid of that feeling it just won't go away. This new baby is just the icing on the cake. I'm gonna be replaced and I guess I might as well accept that. I'll withdraw myself and be the older child the everyone with siblings end up being. As if my life can't get any worse. And tomorrow is still my birthday...

Okay, so I've decided to post this chapter early, I currently only have five chapters completed, including this on so I may not updates as frequently on this series as I did before, but never fear I won't not update for an entire month, that I can guarantee. I decided to post this chapter for all the people who've been waiting patiently and I'm sorry I'm taking so long but chapter six has me struggling because I feel like I've been rushing thins, but I'll try to update as soon as I can.
