Looking back at precious moments between the Avengers and their adorable nephew.
________________________________________________________

The team always made fun of the fact that Steve and Tony had sexual frustrations over each other when they first met. Tony was a cocky prick who likes to get on the good ol' captain's nerve, whereas Steve was always a hardass whenever Tony was being difficult. But despite all that, both seem to always seek out each others' company even if it meant that they were on each others' throat. Over time, the feuding grew lesser and the pair began to bond over simple things; like watching old movies, walking around the park together, and having dinner together without the team around to tease them.

The team knew that the pair would eventually hook up and be in a relationship despite them being in total denial about it. Seriously, a mosquito could not have made that big of a bite mark on your neck, Tony. But the thing that caught them by surprise was when the billionaire came through the doors of their living space, carrying a small squishy baby with Steve following behind him with bags and announcing that he and Steve were now the proud parents of an adorable infant named Peter. They didn't think the two ever wanted to have kids. Don't get them wrong! Having a baby together is wonderful, but with their roles as Avengers it will make it complicated to raise a kid.

Tony handed the little bundle over to Bruce, who was the first to greet the little baby boy. The babe shuffled in his soft blanket and is blinking the sleep away from his big brown doe eyes, when his vision cleared he stared in wonder at the man holding him. Bruce carefully cradled Peter in his arms and softly greeted him by gently brushing his small fingers. Peter cooed when he felt the man's touch and began reach out to grasp his finger. Bruce smiled at the baby in his arms.

"He sure is a cutie, Tony," Bruce said while rocking Peter gently in his arms. Tony puffed up his chest with pride at the comment. "Well he is my baby. He'll be a stunner just like his daddy when he grows up, and his daddy is going to make sure he's always looking all cute because he loves his little Petey-bear," Tony cooed at the baby while Steve chuckled at his husband's antics. Bruce rolled his eyes and softly whispered closely to Peter making sure Tony didn't hear him. "Make sure you don't act like your daddy, okay?" Peter just giggled in soft baby coos and that was when uncle Bruce fell in love with his beloved nephew, Peter.

The team's family now had a cute little baby to care and love for. Peter was always a curious baby, Steve will always joke that he got the habit from watching Tony work but that made the inventor prouder to know that his baby boy may grow up to be into sciende and engineering like him. Peter will babble and smile at anything that catches his interest. His current favourites are his daddies, his soft blanket, DUMMY, and his fuzzy toys. But now he has a new favourite to add to his list; his uncle Thor. Thor wasn't there when the couple introduced the team to Peter, he was back home in Asgard when that happened. Hearing that he was now an uncle to his friends' child, the Norse god was excited to meet the young infant and spoil him with gifts he has brought from his dimension. He arrived at the tower and greeted everyone inside.

" Friends! I have come bearing gifts for the young child of our captain and man of iron!" Thor hauled an armful of presents to give to the young baby. "Thanks a lot, Thor. Peter's in his cot right now if you want to meet him," Steve told him as he helped Tony set the presents aside. When Thor approached the cot, he peered inside to see a baby boy softly suckling on his fingers while snuggling his blanket closely to his face. Thor greeted the young babe by waggling his fingers at him, when Peter saw him he stopped suckling on his fingers and stared in awe at the stranger in front of him. "May I?" Thor asked and Steve nodded at him. Thor slowly cradled Peter in his arms so that he could have a better look at him. Peter cooed in the arms of the tall blonde man. The man had a fuzzy beard just like his daddy, and long hair to play with. Peter babbled happily while playing with the man's beard. Thor preened at how much the baby was enjoying his company, but it seems that Clint wanted to have a turn in holding the baby.

"Come on, big guy. I wanna have a turn in holding the little munchkin," Thor didn't want to give up his nephew just yet, but he does want congratulate his friends for having a baby together. So he went and handed Peter over to Clint before walking towards the couple. Peter wasn't satisfied yet with meeting his new uncle, he shifted his head around to see where he went and began to fuss for his attention. Peter reached his arms out to Thor so that the man could carry him.

"Aww, what's wrong sweetie? Are you hungry?" Peter's aunt Natasha asked as she tried to hold him in her arms. Peter began to fuss and pushed her arms away. The couple heard Peter's cries and went to see what was wrong.

"What did you do, Barton?"

"Me?! I didn't do anything to him!"

"I swear to god, if you did something to him-"

"I didn't!"

Thor was curious to know what has made his nephew upset, so he returned to where he last left the baby. When Peter saw that he has returned, his cries quited down and he reached his hands out for Thor. Thor was touched to know that his nephew greatly liked him. "There is no need to fret, little one. I, Thor Odison, am here to comfort you," this lead to Thor cradling the young baby closely to his chest and feeding him his bottle, which Steve has prepared. Peter was happily nursing on his bottle while his hand patted the fuzzy texture of his uncle's beard. Thor was more than happy to let him do it.

"No fair. Just because I have no fuzz on my chin, doesn't mean I'm not the cool uncle," Clint pouted besides Tony. "Real sure Bruce is the one that holds the title for coolest uncle, bird brain," the inventor teased him while taking a sip of his soda. "Not when Thor's around, Tony" Bruce said while approaching the pair with a plate of lasagne in his hands. The three could only watch and pout at how much Peter was enjoying playing with the gifts Thor brought for him.

Wait a minute.

Is that a Bilgensnipe egg?!

When Peter was a few months old, he loved watching his family spar and train in the tower's gym from the comfort of his cot near the benches. Today, Bucky was sparing with Natasha and Clint. They were kick-boxing each other while dodging each other like acrobatic dancers. The fight was coming to an end when Natasha manages to sweep Bucky's legs from under him, and Clint pinned the winter soldier to the gym's mat. Bucky tried to wiggle himself free, but it was futile.

"Need any help, Buck?" Steve asked him from the benches. "Nope, I'm good. This is nothing compared to what I've done so far," Bucky wheezed when Natasha pushed her foot to his chest. "You sure about that? I could help turn this whole thing around for you," Bucky found the thought amusing, how was Steve going to turn this around? "Heh, I'd like to see you try, punk. Heck, I'll even treat you afterwards if you could pull it off," Bucky said.

He was hoping for his friend to tag in, he was not hoping to see a fluffy mop of brown hair to appear in his field of vision. " What the- Steve! Are you looking for a death wish?! Get the half pint away from here!" Steve crossed his arms and smirked. "Just watch, Buck," Peter squealed excitedly when he sees his aunt and uncles. He crawled over to Bucky and patted his face with his mitten covered hand.

"Yeah that's right, Petey! Show him whose boss around here!" Peter looked at his uncle Clint and aunt Tasha. He crawled closer to Natasha and grabbed at her leggings and tugged playfully. "Oh my god, Nat. Peter is trying to get you off of Bucky!" Natasha refused to look at Peter, she will not succumb to his cute antics. Peter stopped tugging and decided to crawl back to Bucky's face. He clapped his hands happily and began to hug his uncle's face while leaving wet baby kisses on his face. Clint is trying really hard not to move away from Bucky and so is Natasha. But their walls crumbled when Peter decided to roll onto his back and smack his little round belly just like what a baby seal would do. In the end, Peter won them over with his cuteness. Clint was snuggling him closely to his chest, and Natasha was blowing raspberries onto his round belly. Peter squealed in delight at the attention he was getting. Bucky was dumbfounded, but a deal was a deal. He treated Steve to a cool bottle of beer and some ice cream for his adorable nephew.

Yes, having Peter in their lives was never a dull moment. They love spending time with him and have family nights together, just like tonight! They made it a family tradition between them that every Sunday would be family movie night, and tonight was Peter's Disney night. But when everyone arrived, Peter wasn't anywhere to be seen. When asked where the boy was, Tony begrudgingly replied that his best friend invited him to a slumber party at his mansion.

"You just let him?" Clint sulked.

"It's not like we wanted to!" Tony explained that they didn't want to, but Peter was very excited when Harry invited him to his home. So now the family movie night will be short of one little boy. The Avengers weren't happy to know that their little Bambino won't be joining them for their movie night, but they weren't as displeased as the thunder god right now. Thunder was roaring the skies but Thor said he was fine. The family decided to watch Frozen and things were beginning to look better. They had fun when singing along to 'Let it go', and laughed when Thor was arguing at the screen when Elsa refuses to go home with her sister.

"You fool! She has been looking for you to come home with her!" Thor cried out. It stopped being funny when Thor saw Anna getting hurt by Elsa's ice powers that he flung Mjölnir at the screen to protect her.

The Avengers needed their nephew badly. Not only because they miss him, but also that he's the one in charge of telling Thor that the people on the screen are from another dimension and don't need saving!

The End.
