Warnings: stright fluff
Pepper has to go on a confrence trip and is taking Happy with her leaving you and Peter to baby sit little Morgan.
I been wanting to write this for a straight minute 😭 hope you guys enjoy
You and Peter watch from the doorframe as you see Morgan give her mom and Happy one last hug. You walk up behind the little girl and pick her up, bringing her inside to watch the jet lift off into the sky.
Once the jet is out of sight the little girl runs off to the room she has at the compound starting back up her tea party.
You place a comforting hand on Peters shoulder. “Everything’s gonna be okay Peter.” You understood why he was nervous, this was your first time taking care the almost 5 year old for a whole night.
Pepper had left a list of everything that needs to be done for her bedtime routine and things to do over the weekend as she was away at a business conference.
Even though both you and Peter had your fair share of baby sitting the little Stark, she was still kind of shy around both of you (more Peter than you though).
You both hear little feet running down the hall and you feel a small hand tugging on your sleeve. Kneeling down to be Morgan’s level, she leans forward and goes to whisper in your ear.
“Can you come to my tea party? Captain flappers was being mean to Darrel and now she won’t come to my tea party.” The small girl stops back and you see her holding the small stuff penguin (Captain Flappers) and a small hedgehog (Darrel).
You stood up and look at Peter and he gives you a small smile. “Go to the tea party, I should be able to get her dinner ready alright on my own.” You give him a smile and quickly kiss his cheek before looking down at the small brunette child.
“Why I would love to Miss. Stark. In fact, it would be an honor.” Grabbing your hand the child leads you to her room where she has a little play table set up with a play tea set up and little chairs. You knew in a few years these tea parties are gonna turn into lab sessions most likely.
Although she was just 4, Morgan was very bright, seeing who her parents are. You two play tea party for a bit till you look at time seeing it’s time to give Morgan dinner.
“Oh how I adored our tea party Miss. Stark but unfortunately I must go as it is a certain little ladies dinner time.” Morgan pouts at the fact that the game she had much fun playing was coming to an end.
You reach your hand out to her but she reaches her arms up indicating that she wants to be carried. “Why don’t we go see what Peter cooked up yeah?” “Okie.”
Walking to the kitchen Morgan lays her head on your shoulder and you already knew putting the young child to sleep will be a breeze especially how she missed her nap today on the drive over here.
You place Morgan down at the table helping her in one of the seats and sees Peter bring out a small dish of Mac and cheese with dinosaur nuggets. “Can I have some ketchup please?” Grabbing it from the kitchen you toss it to Peter and he opens it pouring some into the dish by the nuggets. She mummbles a thank you not looking peter in the face.

“Hey Morgan can I ask you a question?” She hums in response as she has two of her toys play in her lap as as you sit behind her brushing out her slight damp hair before bed.
“Why are you shy around Peter?” “Because he reminds me of daddy.” You stop brushing her hair. “How?” “He talks like him sometimes especially when he gets really happy like daddy did with his magic table. He’s also really smart like him and likes juice pops. I asked daddy if he was my big brother and daddy said something like that but then he looked really sad.” The young girl says shrugging her shoulders and going back to her toys in her lap.
You finish up brushing her hair as you process this new information. You always knew Tony saw Peter as a son, everyone saw it, but you didn’t know he had talked to Morgan about him. You put down her brush and looked down at the phone seeing a incoming call from Happy coming in.
“Morgan go pick out a book for your story okay I’ll be right back.” Nodding she slides off the bed and head to her little bookcase as you walk out of her room and pass the little living room like area seeing Peter sitting on the couch watching tv and walks into your room.
Back in Morgan’s room, she goes to pull out one of her favorite books but sees a black spider resting on the bottom of the book staring right back at her.
Morgan wasn’t really afraid of spiders as she always found some in her little tent back home but that didn’t mean she liked them. Stepping back in shook her head in disgust and ran out into the little living room area and found the best person she knew for the job.
Spider-Man.
“Peter.” Peter heard a small voice calling from him and he looked up to see the small child looking him holding Darell the hedgehog. “There’s a spider.” “Do you want me to get Y/N?” Peter asks her knowing she’s not really all that comfortable with him yet.
She shook her head no and pointed at him. “I want you.” She goes over and grabs Peter's hand and leads him into her room with much of his amazement leading right to the creature.
Peter chuckles at the small creature that Morgan is avoiding like the plague. He goes out into the bathroom and grabs a little water cup and a tissue, goes opens a window and scoops the spider into the cup covering it with the tissue and goes back to the window shaking the spider out and the closing the window back then throwing away his tools.
He washes his hands then goes back into Morgan’s room seeing her already in bed with the book next to her. “Can you read to me?” Peter tried not to look shocked at the young girls sudden affection towards him and nods his head climbing into bed next to her and starting to read.
By the time you finished your call 10 minutes later you, walking back to Morgan’s room you wondered why it was so quiet.
Pushing open her room door slowly you see her and Peter cuddling up together, both mouths slightly open little soft snore coming out (mostly from Peter), with a book in his hand and a hedgehog in hers looking like a perfect pair of siblings.
Smiling you take a quick picture and send it to Pepper. Pepper replies saying how while you guys were gone by the snap, Tony will always tell Morgan stories about Peter and being Spider-Man and how their so much alike it’s kind of scary.
Sending one last message you set the picture as your new lock screen having your two favorite (non) siblings in a picture together. Sliding the phone in your pocket, you go take book out of Peters hand and switch on Morgan’s night light. Giving them one last glance you smile turning off the soft light and close the door.
