Two weeks passed since Peter's birthday and life was going good. However Tony was wanting to take his and Pepper's relationship to the next level. That's right he famous playboy and womanizer Tony Stark wanted to actually take the next step, marriage. He was just so nervous and he didn't know how to ask her.

It was a Friday night and Pepper was going out with Natasha, May, and Jane Foster, who was visiting Thor, on a girls night. Bruce off with Clint and Steve on a private mission in Germany probably something to do with Hydra. Thor was on a quick call in one of the realms promising Jane that he would be back by the end of the night.

This left Peter and Tony alone for the night making it the perfect night to plan a proposal. As Tony thought about it he was also playing with Peter on the floor who only thought of having fun. Then it occurred to Tony he didn't even have a ring to propose with. He didn't even know what to get her although he did remember a Tiffany's he always saw Pepper looking at whenever they took Peter to the park so there was somewhere he could look.

"Alright Pete we're going to go look for a ring for your mom."

Tony quickly put a jacket and a hat on Peter, seeing as it was March, grabbed the diaper bag and headed out. As Tony carried Peter through the New York streets the little guy looked around still fascinated by his surroundings since they were all so much bigger than him. Eventually the two got to the Tiffany's but when they entered Tony's eyes shot wide open as he was faced with hundreds of different types of rings.

Tony's head was absolutely spinning unable to decide what Pepper would like. It was then a female store attendant noticed this and knew Tony clearly needed her help, luckily she didn't recognize as Tony Stark due to the shades and hat he wore.

"Excuse me sir can I help you with anything?" She asked sweetly.

"Yes I'm trying to find an engagement ring for my girlfriend."

"Oh congratulations is there anything in particular you're looking for?"

"Well that's the problem I don't know what she wants because I'm trying to surprise her."

"I see well how about you come over here and I'll show you our popular rings to get some inspiration."

Tony followed the woman all the while Peter was distracted by the toy Tony brought to keep him entertained. As the jewelry woman showed Tony the rings Peter noticed something. He turned himself to look behind his daddy and saw a ring that mommy always looked at when they passed this store. He knew this because she always held him on the way to the park and would stop to look at this one ring for a few seconds.

It was silver with a 1 carat princess cut diamond in the middle, two smaller ones on the side, and had three tiny diamonds on each side. It was perfect and exactly what mommy wanted all Peter had to do was get his daddy to buy that one.

Peter started to whine as he reached behind his daddy trying to signal towards the ring.

"Peter what's wrong are you ok?" Tony said concerned by his son's sudden behavior causing him to lightly bounce Peter.

"Dada!" Peter said as he tried to point to the ring.

"Is he ok?" The woman asked being a mother herself.

"I don't know he seems to be pointing at something. What is it bud what do you want?"

Peter babbled incoherently struggling to get his daddy to understand. After about thirty seconds of trying to calm Peter down Tony finally saw what his son was pointing at. It was a ring and from the moment he saw it he knew it was something Pepper would love.

"Is that what you were trying to get me to see bud?"

Peter smiled and nodded happy his daddy finally got what he was trying to say.

"Excuse me miss may we see that ring please?"

"Of course." The woman said as she smiled clearly seeing the deep bond between the father and son.

The woman bent down and got the requested ring out of the case. Tony got a better look at it and saw it was truly beautiful for it sparkled a star.

"We'll take it."

"Alright then and might I say your girlfriend is lucky to have two men in her life like you to. Especially this little one who has such good taste."

The woman then tickled Peter's little belly causing him to laugh. Tony thanked the woman for her help and then left to go back to Stark Tower.

"You seem to be my luck charm bud and I believe you also gave me an idea on how to propose to mommy and you're going to be a big part of it." Tony said as he lovingly poked Peter's chubby belly causing him to laugh and hug his daddy's neck.

This made Tony very happy because he knew he had his son's support in the whole endeavor.

It was the next day and Tony has just finished feeding Peter his lunch and was now ready to propose. Pepper was sitting on the couch talking to Natasha. Tony then took Peter over to the opposite side of the room of Pepper and set him on the ground. He then proceeded to take the ring box and gave it to Peter who took it into his tiny chubby hands.

"Alright buddy give this to mommy like we discussed, you think you can do that for daddy?"

Peter nodded his head with determination wanting to make his daddy proud.

"Good boy now let's go."

Peter then crawled off crawling in the direction of Pepper who had no idea what she was in for. As Pepper talked she felt something grab her leg. She looked down to see Peter smiling at as he tried to use her leg to steady himself on his feet.

"Well hello there Peter!" Pepper said excitedly as she picked him up by the armpits.

"Mama!" Peter called out happily as he reached for her.

"What's this you've got?" Pepper asked as she set Peter down on her lap and gently took the box out of his hand.

Just as this happened Tony started to walk over to Pepper. Pepper then opened the little velvet box and was then frozen with shock when she saw the diamond ring in it.

"Peter what- where- how did you get this?"

"Actually that is mine." Tony said as he picked up Peter and kneeled down on one knee setting Peter there but still keeping his hands on him to balance him.

"Wait Tony is this what I think this is?" Pepper asked excitedly.

"Yes it is but what you need to know is the reason I had Peter give it to you is because you are not only marrying me but you're also becoming the official parent of Peter do you think you could live with that responsibility for as long as we have him."

"Absolutely I love both of you with every bit of my heart and I couldn't ever live without either of you."

"In that case will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

The two then hugged passionately leading into an equally passionate kiss. It was all quite touching to see and all that it was a relationship that would last till the end of time.

Three months later

Three months had passed since Tony proposed and that entire time was spent preparing for the wedding which was tomorrow. It was actually a mostly positive experience since Tony didn't really have too much of an opinion on it letting Pepper pick pretty much everything for it.

As for the wedding party Tony had Happy as the best man and Steve, Bruce, Clint, and Thor as groomsmen. Pepper had a really good friend of hers as her maid of honor with Natasha, Jane, and two of her sisters as bridesmaids. Then of course Pepper had a little niece of hers as the flower girl and Peter was the ring bearer slash honorary groomsmen.

However since Peter was supposed to walk down the aisle Tony had been working on walking with him all three months. He would take his tiny little hands in his huge hands and lead him around the room and he was making progress but he was still unable to do it by himself.

"Alright Pete let's do this I believe in you." Tony said as he lead Peter about the room.

They did this for a straight hour and then Tony decided to try something new.

"Ok bud let's see if we can do this on our own."

Tony then put Peter about ten feet away letting him stand there on his little chubby legs.

"Dada?" Peter asked nervously as he stood scared to walk and fall and disappointing his daddy."

"Come on you buddy you can do this now come to daddy." Tony said encouragingly as he motioned Peter with his hands to come forward.

Peter looked down at his feet and put one out and then just as he tried to make a second one he started to fall.

"Dada!"

Almost immediately Tony sprinted to his son and caught him. Peter then started to tear up feeling like he disappointed his daddy.

"Hey now it ok lets just try again you'll eventually get it buddy."

They tried over five times and Peter couldn't make anything past two steps making Peter ball his little eyes out.

"Hey shhh shhh it's ok it's ok daddy loves you and know you'll foo it some day if anything it means daddy can still have his little baby a little longer so don't cry."

After about an hour Peter finally calmed down and went into playing with his daddy. He then spent some time with all his "family" everyone loving and spoiling the little tyke. Then everyone turned in early knowing they had a long day ahead of them.

It was the middle of the night and Steve snuck into Peter's nursery and gently woke the baby up.

"Hey Peter."

Peter stirred and fluttered his eyes open to see Steve in front of him.

"Seve?"

"Hi Peter I heard you had a bit of a hard time with learning to walk today."

Peter then looked sad breaking Steve's heart.

"Hey now I'm going to carry you down the aisle tomorrow but I'm going to teach you to walk before the reception so we can surprise your daddy."

Peter smiled excitedly and clapped his hands.

"Hey now shh shh keep quiet we need to keep this secret between you and the other Avengers ok."

Peter then he'd a little finger in front of his lips giving Steve the signal he understood him.

"Good now get some sleep you're going to need it."

It was morning and everyone was getting ready even Peter who was being dressed by Tony. He first put him in a white onsie, then a white onsie dress shirt, then slipped his dress pants on him. Then putting a peach colored vest and tie on him since those were the colors, then put a cute little suit coat on him, and lastly he put little socks and dress shoes on him. Then he went to the bathroom and slicked back Peter's hair something he surprisingly responded positively to.

"Changing your diapers is going to be pain today with all this clothing on but boy do you look cute." Tony said as he tickled Peter making him give out his contagious laugh.

Then Tony got ready himself looking quite handsome being dressed so nice.

After about four hours later everyone gathered for the ceremony which was held in Central Park. Friends and family and luckily very minimal press, thanks to s.h.i.e.l.d, were there and JAVIS filmed the whole thing. Tony, as well as all the groomsmen excluding Peter and Steve, got to the front of the aisle waiting to see Pepper whom he hadn't seen all morning.

Then it came time for the bridesmaids maids to process only to be followed by the maid of honor. After they were finished then came the flower girl who everyone thought was adorable. Then came Peter being held by Steve releasing a wave of awes from the crowd, Peter was holding the little pillow with the rings with great determination wanting nothing more than to make his daddy proud.

Then lastly came Pepper walking down with her father looking the most beautiful she ever had. She wore a white shoulderless ball gown with layers of organza and silk cascading down the skirt with little Swarovski crystals to make a beautiful shimmering waterfall and the torso was a tightly layered and fitted making at least six folds. Her veil was nearly three feet long and was kept in with a diamond stuffed hair piece. In her hands was a bouquet of peach colored roses wrapped in a peach colored silk ribbon.

They eventually got to the alter both Pepper and Tony facing each other and smiling. The minister then came up and started the ceremony to seal the two together.

An hour later the ceremony was done everyone commenting on how beautiful it was and how heartfelt both Pepper and Tony's vows were. Now they were at the reception everyone having a good time and enjoying the surprisingly delicious food that was provided.

Then came time for the speeches that were traditionally done by the best man, the maid of honor, and the parents of the bride and groom or in this case Pepper's parents. However the entire time Tony was distracted as he looked for his son who was supposed to be in the high chair next to him at the head table and Steve wasn't there either making Tony start to worry. Pepper tried her best to calm him down but knew it wasn't really helping, not saying she wasn't worried out of her mind to her motherly instinct pushing at her to rise from that table and find her son.

An hour passed by and Pepper and Tony thought they were going to do their dance though they could hardly focus with Peter gone. However then Steve came out with Peter to the dance floor much to the relief of Pepper and Tony claiming he had something to show everyone.

Then the other Avengers including Happy can behind him excited to show Tony the great news.

"Tony Pepper we know how much you both love your son and how you wait for him to pass some big milestones. Well today we decided that this would be a good time to make one of those happen so consider this a gift from the Avengers. Alright Peter show them your stuff."

Steve gently placed Peter on his little feet and then backed away giving him his moment and space. Both Pepper and Tony as well as everyone at the reception waited in an anticipation to see what little baby would do.

After a good two hours of training and practice with Steve Peter felt ready for this ready to walk for the first time and to no other person than his daddy.

Peter then took one step forward and then another and then another until he was nearly halfway to Tony.

"Come on bud you can do this come on come to daddy!" Tony said encouragingly as he crouched down and held his arms out as his sense of pride in his son grew to an astronomical size.

Peter continued nearly falling a few times but eventually he got within reach of Tony and fell into the loving arms of his daddy. Tony then lifted the little baby in the air praising him for his great accomplishment. Everyone in the crowd cheered just as loudly as they could.

Both Pepper and Tony loved on their son both proud of their little spider. That day was one to remember and from then on the Stark family was strong as ever. Everyone could clearly see that they were a family that was full of love and affection and would remain that way even after death.

The End
