[ Pepper's not the only one that has forgotten about their plans; he's too busy enjoying this, watching her and just getting a chance to talk without a worry or care in the world.
With an ease that he hasn't had in years, Tony chuckles when Pepper admits she's worried about what he has in mind for Morgan's treehouse. ]
Alright, fine. I guess it might be better that way, anyway. She may ask us to move into the treehouse otherwise.
[ And, well, knowing their daughter and the way she's so good at getting her way... Yeah. He's not looking forward to living in a treehouse, so maybe putting some limits to it wouldn't be a bad idea.
At the familiar quip, Tony laughs before cringing slightly. ] I'm never going to live that down, am I.
[ He pulls her in, kissing her forehead. ] ...I'm okay with that breakdown, though. That means she'll be as amazing as her mother is.
[ Pepper laughs again, the sound soft and warm with affection. ]
And you wouldn't even put up much of a fight if she did.
[ The words are pointed, but her expression couldn't be more fond. Tony had been so terrified of getting fatherhood wrong, of becoming like his own father was (the most ridiculous notion Pepper had ever heard), but his fears had ultimately proven unfounded. Morgan had him wrapped around her little finger, and he was the best daddy their little girl could ever hope for. Witnessing it really had been one of the most fulfilling, satisfying things in Pepper's entire life so far. ]
Hm, nope. [ A short, humorous agreement before she tips into him when he pulls her closer, closing her eyes for a moment at the kiss to her forehead. Breathing a tiny sigh through her nose, she smiles lovingly down at him after she pulls back enough to look him in the eye comfortably, brushing her fingers gently across his bristly cheek. ]
Oh, I don't know. Her daddy is pretty incredible, too. I think it's an even 50-50 split on the whole on this one. Good job, team.
[ Pausing, she tips her head a little, the levity giving way to something more serious as she murmurs with utter conviction, ] She's going to change the world.
[ No matter what she ends up doing. Every mother probably thinks that about their child, but the daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts? Morgan had too much going on for her, too much potential to do anything less. ]
