[Marley]

Tony had been putting off the appointment with his doctor for weeks now. Initially they'd done the fertilization session and made sure it was a success and then Tony had bailed - fast. It wasn't that he wanted to bail, he just didn't want to go back to the doctor's office either. He kept calling and rescheduling and eventually his doctor called him out on his shit and insisted she would come and see him since it looked like he simply didn't intend on coming to see her, but the moment that had happened, Tony had conveniently arranged for a trip to Hawaii for a week. Why? Did he need a reason why? Maybe he just wanted to relax... to relax in a place where his doctor wasn't able to get to him easily. That went on for some time - trips, vacations, business meetings - until the first day of the five month mark had rolled around; Tony still didn't know how many kids he was having, but all that mattered was that he could still fit in his suit. That was always fun.

He could get away most days with wearing some oversized sweater to hide the slight curve of his abdomen, and that was nice because he'd yet to come out publicly about it. Of course he'd informed his team, red-haired assassin and star spangled man and all, but the general public had no idea about his pregnancy, and honestly he doubted any would be sympathetic towards it after the recent events. Building a sentient being that went on to make their own army wasn't the best thing in the world.

For now, Tony stayed at home most of the time. No one bothered him too much although he knew he was going to have to face his doctor sooner than later. He was currently curled up on a couch messing around with his phone, reading a few bad pregnancy diseases and maybe freaking himself out a bit too much.
