Public Park, New York City, day. Tony Stark, Aleya Fury and Pepper Potts walk on having a conversation. Aleya should look heavily pregnant by now but it appears as if she was never pregnant at all.

Tony Stark: Slow down, slow down. I'm totally not kidding.

Pepper Potts:  You're totally rambling.

Tony Stark: No, I'm not.

Pepper Potts: Lost me.

Tony Stark: Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?

Pepper Potts: Yeah.

Tony Stark: Okay, and then you're like, 'Oh my god, there's no bathroom, what am I gonna do?', 'Oh! Someone's watching,' 'I'm gonna go in my pants.'

Aleya: Eww.

Tony Stark: Shut it.

Pepper Potts: Right. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee.

Tony Stark: Yes.

Pepper Potts: Yeah. Everybody has that.

Tony Stark: Right! That's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a kid. So real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name?

Pepper Potts: Right.

Tony Stark: Morgan! Morgan.

Pepper Potts: So you woke up, and thought that we were...

Tony Stark: Expecting.

Pepper Potts: Yeah.

Aleya: Yeah?!

Tony Stark: Yes?

Pepper Potts: No.

Tony Stark: I had a dream about it. It was so real.

Aleya looks down, upset. Pepper notices this and silently berates herself for being so insensitive.

Pepper Potts: Hey, everything ok?

Tears bristle in Aleya's eyes.

Aleya: Yeah it's just... losing y/n, and then what happened to the baby...

Pepper, not knowing what to do, redirects the conversation.

Pepper Potts: If you wanted to have a kid, you wouldn't have done that.

Pepper unties his jacket sleeves and taps Tony's chest attachment.

Tony Stark: I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano particles.

Pepper Potts: It's not helping your case, OK?

Tony Stark: No, no, it's an attachment, it's not a-

Pepper Potts: You don't need that.

Tony Stark: I know. I had the surgery. I'm just trying to protect us. The future uses, and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet, instead of, you know...

Pepper Potts: Shirts?

Tony Stark: You know me so well. You finish all my sentences.

Pepper Potts: You should have shirts in your closet.

Aleya giggles.

Tony Stark: Yeah. You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Win-stone. Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you.
