âHey kiddo, if you donât get up soon, youâre gonna miss the fun day Pepper and Morgan planned,â Tony said walking past Peter's room.
You see it's currently Peter's spring break and he chose to spend it with Tony at the beach house. Usually, he would be bouncing off the walls with excitement but instead, he's curled up in a ball under the sheets. His stomach was aching, his head was killing him and he was pretty sure he had a fever. He couldn't dare tell Tony because he would go into full dad mode, which would ruin the day the girls planned.
" I'm serious Peter, get up, we have things to do," Tony said now coming into the room.
" 'm up, give me a minute to get dressed," Peter muttered.
" you okay, underoos? You don't sound like yourself,"Â Tony said with concern coating his voice.
" Y-yeah, I'm fine. Just had a long night," Peter fired back.
"Okay if you say so, I'll let you get ready," Tony said while walking out.
Peter got out of bed and immediately regretted it as a sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He wanted to scream but he knew he had to keep quiet. Once the pain subdued he made his way to the closet. He grabbed the baggiest sweatshirt and a pair of jeans. He was hoping the sweatshirt would hide his bloated stomach and luckily it did. After he got dressed he made his way to the kitchen.
" There's the spiderling," Pepper said with a smile on her face.
" Hi Pep," Peter responded with a half-ass smile.
" Petey, Petey, I can't wait to show you what we're doing today" morgan yelled while running into the room. Peter squinted at the sound.
" Hey kiddo, you sure you're okay. We can cancel our plans if you're not feeling like yourself," Tony said.
" no, no I'm fine I promise, no need to cancel anything," Peter said, trying to reassure him.
"Â Well, in that case, we better get going if we want to stick to the schedule you two beautiful ladies planned," Tony said while spinning morgan around. The little one couldn't help but giggle. It brought a small smile to Peter's face.
" Okay Stark family, to the minivan" Tony yelled running to the garage. Peter paused for a second to prepare himself for everything that was gonna happen today.
" When I say stark family, you know that includes you right," Tony asked, peeking through the garage door.
" Yeah, sorry, I'm coming. I was in Lala land for a sec," Peter said making his way out the door.
Tony knew something was up with the kid but he didn't want to keep hounding him. Peter was old enough to make his own decisions and Tony knew Peter would come around eventually but until then he'd just have to keep an eye on the kid.
"Mommy can I tell them yet" Morgan squealed.
"Yes, honey go ahead. I'm sure the suspense is just killing them" pepper giggled.
" We're going to the rollercoaster place," Morgan yet again squealed.
"Fuck," Peter muffled under his breath.
Peter was getting super nauseous and wasn't sure if he was physically capable of keeping up the healthy act. An amusement park is the last place he wanted to be. He decided to close his eyes and tune out the world until they got to the park.
After an almost unbearable hour passed they finally pulled into a parking lot. When they all got out of the vehicle Peter looked up at all the roller coasters and gulped. He knew it was gonna be a long-ass day. They made their way to the entrance of the park and Peter started feeling his dinner from the night before shooting up his throat. He started walking faster so he wouldn't vomit in front of everyone and possibly traumatize little morgan. When they all made it into the park Peter darted straight for the bathroom. He prayed no one was in there. Luckily his prayers were answered and the bathroom was vacant. Peter barely made it to a stall before everything came up. By the time he finished, he had no energy left. He had no idea how he was gonna get through the rest of the day. He washed his hands and made his way back to Tony.
"Holy shit kid, what happened to you," Tony dropped the drink in his hand when he saw Peter's exhausted face. He ran to Peter's side when he noticed his knees getting shaky.
"I don't feel so good," Peter said.
"I can see that," Tony responded.
"What's wrong exactly, where does it hu-" Tony was interrupted by Peter screaming then vomiting. Bystanders looking with concern and disgust.
"T-tony is that blood," Pepper said pointing at the puddle of vomit under Peter.
" Oh my god, kid, talk to me, where's the pain, '' Tony said frantically.
" which side son," Tony asked.
"Pepper call Bruce, I think it's his appendix," Tony demanded.
"Daddy is Petey okay," Morgan cried.
" He will be, my little honey bee, I promise," Tony reassured her.
Tony picked Peter up as delicately as possible and made his way back to the car. Pepper and Morgan followed close behind. When they made it to the car Tony laid Peter in the back seat, at this point the poor kid had no energy at all left. Once everyone was in the car they made their way to the compound. Tony was kicking himself for not making the kid fess up. If anything were to happen to Peter, it was on him. He let the kid play healthy for way too long and now they are in this horrible situation.
" Tony, he's a strong kid. He'll be okay," Pepper said when she noticed how deep in his thoughts he was.
"I know pep, I just can't let anything happen to him, he's my son. I can't lose him," Tony said with a tear streaming down his face. Tony noticed the smirk on Pepper's face.
" What, why are you smiling, this is not a time for smiles it's a time for tears," Tony said confused.
"I'm smiling because you called him your son, I always knew you had a soft spot for him" Pepper giggled.
They finally pulled up to the compound and Bruce was already waiting there with a stretcher.
" What are his stats," Bruce asked as soon as Peter was on the stretcher.
"I didn't check, everything happened so fast," Tony said.
" Okay, I'll just have FRIDAY run them when we get inside," Bruse said.
They made their way into the building.
"FRIDAY, I need his O2 levels, temp, and BP" Bruce stated.
"O2 at 96%, his temperature is 101.9 and BP is 121 over 85, Doctor,"Â FRIDAY responded.
"Thank you FRIDAY, that'll be all for now. Okay, Peter, I'm going to press on your abdomen, let me know when you feel pain" Bruce said. Peter grunted in response,
Bruce began pressing, starting in the middle and making his way to the lower right side. When he pressed on the side Peter shot up and puked on the floor.
" Okay, this is 100% his appendix," Bruce said, turning to Tony.
"So what now," Tony asked, biting his nails.
" emergency surgery, we'll get him prepped now," Bruce said.
" Do what's necessary, I need that kid back to his regular annoying self," Tony said with a stern tone.
Peter was soon wheeled off to surgery.
" You love him, admit it," Pepper said walking into the room.
"Of course I love him Pep, he's everything I wanted to be and more, he's my son," Tony said.
" You're so cute when you get all mushy," Pepper said, curling up next to her husband.
An hour passed and bruce came into the room.
" Everything went well, he's in recovery. I'll bring him in as soon as he's awake," Bruce said before walking out.
" Bruce, wait," Tony said.
" Thank you, thank you for saving my kid's life," Tony said.
" no problem" bruce smiled and walked out.
Soon after, Bruce wheeled Peter's bed into the room.
"Hey underoos, how you feeling," Tony asked, ruffling his hair.
" I'm so happy to hear that but we need to talk about why you thought it was okay to not tell me you weren't feeling well," Tony said.
" I'm sorry, I just didn't want to put a damper in anyone's plans," Peter said sheepishly.
" no one would've been upset if you were ill," Pepper chimed in.
"I'm sorry," Peter repeated.
"No need to be sorry, I'm just glad you're okay," Tony said lightly hugging the kid.
"Thanks, Dad," Peter said into his neck.
" Oh, so you're calling me Dad now," Tony asked, surprised.
" Well I thought we were there, you did call me your son," Peter said.
" Oh shit, you heard that," Tony asked, turning red from embarrassment.
"I was in pain, not deaf," Peter chuckled.
