Hey! Here's the next chapter, and in response to turtlegreen1316's review, this story isn't going to have any huge age leaps, so each chapter (from now on) will probably be about a specific year in their lives, some though, (like pre-school aged) will go for longer.

Reviews are always appreciated as I it helps me write :)


8 months.

"TO-NYYY!" Pepper's shrieks filled the house and Tony immediately closed his holograms and ran up the stairs from the workshop.

"Jarvis, what's happening?" He gasped as he ran to the shrieks coming from the twins' bedroom.

"There seems to be some excitement from Mrs. Stark. It may be due to the fact that Charles and Isabella are taking their first steps."

"Are you filming it?!" Tony cried as he entered the room finding Pepper kneeling on the floor, clapping her hands at both Charlie and Bella who were gripping onto a chair.

"Of course sir."

"Tony, quick." She motioned for him to kneel. He instantly dropped to the ground, staring at his children, who look quite confused at the strange behavior of their parents.

"C'mon guys. Come to Dada!" He beckoned at the two children, now with smiles on their faces at the sight of their excited father. Pepper suddenly joined his side, noticing that the babies were fully engrossed at the sight of Tony.

"Come to Mama, c'mon baby!" She cooed.

At the same time, Tony and Pepper turned their gaze to each other, both with a hint of competitiveness in their eyes. Who were the babies going to choose?

"Are we seriously going to verse each other on who the kids walk to first?" Tony raised an eyebrow, not losing his poker face.

Pepper tilted her head, "Hmm. Rules?"

Tony smirked, "Can't move towards them or offer them any toys."

"Game on." Pepper grinned, and turned to beam at the still confused twins. "Charlie! Bella! Come here baby!" She chanted. She started to clap and tap the floor to gain their attention and Isabella took one hand off the chair.

Oh, so this is how it was going to go down.

"Bella! Come here!" Tony cooed. With a swift movement, Isabella's hands were no longer on the chair that was once supporting her tiny frame. With a gurgle, she put one foot in front of the other while swaying wildly.

"That's a good girl!" Pepper cheered as Bella made a beeline for her mother. Pepper turned to Tony and gave a shrug of her shoulders with a smug grin.

But Tony didn't give up. "Charlie! C'mon buddy."

The mesmerized baby who was watching his sister toddle snapped his attention to his smiling father. He too slowly took his hands off the chair, and made his way to Tony.

"That's a good boy!" Tony grinned as Charlie speedily walked towards his father. But with an accidental foot placement, Charlie lurched forwards.

"Not so fast little man." Tony quickly caught and pulled Charlie into a big hug.

"Good job buddy!" He grinned at his giggling son.

"That's the thing about twins," Pepper turned to Tony while helping an eager Isabella to her feet, "There's always one for each of us." With that, another excited twin came his way.


10 months.

The twins were now walking. Everywhere. Not only did this mean that the mansion had to be riddled with baby gates, but also Tony and Pepper struggled to keep track of the whereabouts of their 'on-the-move' kids.

"I've got Charlie! Any sight of Bella yet?" Pepper groaned as she lifted Charlie onto her hip. He was wandering around the kitchen and Pepper didn't like the idea of him being in such close proximity to sharp, pointy things.

"No!" She heard Tony yell from upstairs.

Pepper scrunched up her face at restless toddler in her arms, "Why is Daddy upstairs? Doesn't he know kids can't fly over baby gates?" Charlie whined back, outstretching his hands to a glass mug sitting on the bench.

"Tony! She's not going to be up there!" Pepper sighed but was interrupted by the sight of Tony walking down the stairs, Isabella in his arms.

"Wha-."

"You do know you can just ask Jarvis."

"Yeah, but how did she get past…?"

Tony grinned at his squirming daughter, "Looks like we've got a mini Houdini on our hands."

"This is serious! What if she gets hurt Tony?"

"We'll get new baby gates, maybe this time with smaller bars…. higher security…. possibly electrified?" He flashed a cheeky grin.

"No."

He pretended to pout.

"Jarvis? How did Isabella get past the gate?" Pepper turned her attention away from Tony's childish maneuvers.

"She seemed to have unlocked the gate by climbing the bars."

"Unbelievable…" Pepper muttered.

"She's smart." Tony nodded while smiling to himself.

"Too smart." Pepper replied, "You need to fix those gates."

"Will do." He walked over to Pepper and kissed her on the cheek.
