Not the Expected Reaction

After Tony and Pepper finalized their plan, Pepper headed to the apartment and Tony began to wake Peter up. 

"Peter, it's time to wake up buddy. We have a big day ahead of us, it's time to get ready." Tony said softly as he lifted Peter up off the couch and held him tight in his arms. 

Peter slowly started to wake himself up, rubbing at his eyes furiously and yawning loudly in Tony's ear. As Peter woke up he slowly regained his senses, soon realizing he was in Tony's arms. Peter was quick to wrap his arms tightly around Tony's neck like he always did, as he buried his face in the older man's shoulder. Tony rubbed his back and smirked at the boy's cuteness.

"Do you wanna take a bath, Peter?"

Peter sprung up so he was face to face with Tony, he held his moth open with widened eyes for a second before giving Tony a nod.

Tony took Peter to the bathroom and ran the bath. He took Peter's shirt off then took off his wet diaper. When the bath was ready Tony helped Peter get in and then he helped the boy wash his hair and clean his body. Tony was done giving Peter a bath but he didn't want to take him out just yet because Pepper wasn't back with the changing supplies. He shot her a quick text hoping she was almost home because Tony didn't want Peter's skin to prune up. 

Pepper wasn't too far away so Tony didn't have to wait that long for her. She and Happy brought everything into Peter's room while Tony took Peter out of the bath and wrapped him in a big fluffy towel. 

Peter shyly asked Tony if he could wear pajamas today, and who was Tony to say no! They were planning on leaving the building today, so Tony didn't see anything wrong with his request. Tony helped Peter choose a pair of pajamas, they were blue and grey striped footie pajamas with an embroidered dinosaur on the stomach.

Earlier, Pepper asked Tony if she could be the one to get Peter dressed and ready today because she wanted to let the boy know she didn't care that Peter uses diapers. Sticking to their plan, Tony left Peter's room so Pepper could have a private chat with Peter.

Peter put up a little fight at first, but once Pepper assured him she wasn't judging and explained that she just wants to be another person Peter could ask for help when he needs a change, Peter calmed down. Peter found comfort in knowing that he had another person to help with his changes now that May was gone. 

Pepper put a healthy amount of cream on Peter's rash before putting a clean diaper on him. She lotioned Peter's skin (which he loved) before putting the boy's pajamas on. Pepper dug through one of the bags her and Happy brought up and pulled out Peter's blankie. Peter was so happy to be reunited with his blankie he started flapping his hands in excitement. This adorable reaction made Pepper smile big. When she handed Peter his blankie, he immediately fisted it tightly before moving that hand to his mouth. He began rapidly sucking on his thumb so loud and furiously, Pepper was nervous his thumb was gonna fall off. Pepper couldn't help but to audibly coo at how adorable Peter looked right now. His footie pajamas, wet curls and his thumb in his mouth while he held onto his blankie for dear life. 

Pepper cleaned up Peter's room quickly and moved his changing supplies into his bathroom. When she went back in the room she saw Peter sitting in a tight ball in the corner of his room. Pepper had a feeling he was doing this to try and satisfy his want for physical touch. She turned out to be right because as soon as she asked Peter if he wanted to be carried he sprang up from his little ball. He continued to suck his thumb rapidly as he reached his other arm up towards Pepper signaling he wanted to be picked up. Pepper wasted no time in scooping the precious boy up.

Tony couldn't help but to coo loudly when he saw Peter. Tony was convinced Peter was the cutest kid in the world and Pepper had to agree. Peter reached his free arm out towards Tony, meaning he wanted Tony to hold him now. Pepper handed Peter to her husband and Tony put the boy on his hip. The couple went to the kitchen to get snacks and drinks before they began the daunting conversation with Peter.
