#paternity test

i'm looking for fics where peter and tony discover they are biologically related while they're together in the lab/tower/etc. (whether they do the paternity test on purpose or find out accidentally) . i read a few fics like this a long time ago but i don't remember enough to ask about them individually

here are some where Tony and Peter accidentally learn they are father and son.

That's the thing with anger... by Good_As_I_Am94

Tony heard something drop and shatter while he was still finishing up his work on Rhodey’s suit, “Kid?” It wasn’t like Peter to drop things. He had sticky super powers after all. Peter was just staring at the screen.

“Hey, Tony Stank” Rhodey starts speaking as soon as he opens the door, “what’s this I’ve been hearing abou-“. Rhodey freezes mid-step and mid-sentence when he see’s Tony… or more accurately when he sees a kid sitting next to his friend. …a kid that, when he and Tony look up at him entering the lab, looks freakishly like Tony did when he first met him back at MIT. It may have been 30 years, give or take, since he met his best friend, but he’d never forget the first time that he met the skinny little kid that had a busted lip because he had mouthed off to one of the much older students. He’d never forget that little face. The face that he was suddenly seeing all over again…sat next to his best friend.  --- Yes, this is one of those stories where Tony find's out Peter is actually his son. I'm a sucker for these kind of stories and I've wanted to write one for a while...so, here it is :)

“Peter—look behind you!” The boy clasps Peter’s head, forcefully turning it around. Peter’s looking. And— Well, Rhodey’s not looking at Peter. He’s looking at a living memory—lightning wit and calculating brown eyes. Rhodey’s lightheaded with it—with late nights hidden in lab cupboards as tired security guards search for the source of echoing laughter—with breaking into Tiberius Stone’s dorm room and stealing his pipsqueak best friend’s final paper back—with punching Howard Stark in the face, shaking his knuckles out without an ounce of regret—with bunny-eared yearbook photos and shared school hoodies—with ‘I got it! I got it—Rhodey—stop—It’s not even—even heavy’ and ‘It’s a two-hundred pound robot, of course it’s heavy, dummy’—and later—so much later—too late, alway too late—with searching, searching, searching and never finding—

What's that? Where's Emit?

Emit isn't here because HE IS NOT YOUR DADDY AND EMIT REJECTED YOU.

Chapter 06

When Carlos entered the house, Andrea was on the couch reading a magazine. She turned to him, took off her glasses and left them on the table, and rested the magazine on her lap as she watched her son. She looked calm, but Carlos assumed that when you are a mother of three, you are able to keep your cool in the face of really complicated situations.

Carlos put his things down on the arm of the couch and took a seat. He was shaking, he hadn't noticed, but Andrea did, she grabbed both his hands and squeezed them tightly. He looked into the bedroom, it was in semi-darkness but he could see TK's figure without any problems, curled up on the bed.

"How is he?"

"He's trying to sleep, but I don't think he's getting any. He's too upset, he has a stomach ache, from nerves I think and I think he's afraid of having nightmares."

"How...? I don't even know how to ask."

"He's exhausted, he was crying when I arrived and making himself vomit didn't do him any good. I made him some tea to calm him down and got him to go to bed, but he said he didn't want to sleep until you arrived. Maybe he was so tired that he fell asleep."

Carlos felt lost. He wanted to help TK with all his might, but he didn't know what to do. As a policeman he had faced all kinds of situations, but it was much easier to help victims of rape or some kind of attack when they were strangers.

But this was beyond him.

TK had suffered a brutal attack, had been beaten nearly to death, had been raped, the trauma would be a part of his life forever, and now he was struggling with the fear of an unwanted pregnancy with the baby of one of those bastards.

It was almost amazing that he had stayed on his feet until that moment.

"Do you want me to fix you something to eat or..."

"I just want to go with TK."

"Don't get mad at him."

"Get mad at him? I couldn't get mad at him. I don't even know how he got here in one piece. I'm furious with myself for not being there to help him, with fate doing this to TK and with the bastards who hurt him. It kills me that I don't know how to help him."

"You just have to be there by his side and let him tell you what he needs."

"It seems like a small thing to me, but that I can do."

Andrea nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm here for whatever you need."

"Do you have a time machine to keep TK from suffering through all this?"

"I'm sorry, my love. I wish. but I'm sure that between all of us, we'll manage to make him feel good again." He kissed him again and rubbed his back. "Anyway, I'm going to prepare something to eat, maybe later, TK will feel a little better and want to eat."

Carlos made his way to the bedroom and looked at TK's body. he was motionless, maybe he had finally been able to fall asleep after all. But right away he saw that his body was moving up and down, from the sobs buried with the pillow.

He slid a hand over TK's back and noticed that he was shaking, not from fear, but his sobs became more intense.

"I'm sorry...Carlos, I'm so sorry. I'm a horrible person and I understand if you hate me."

"I don't hate you my love, I could never hate you."

Carlos settled onto his back, wrapped a hand around his waist and pressed his body against TK's. Since the rape they had not been intimate at all and Carlos had no idea if he would ever be again. But sex seemed of little importance these days, when TK was barely able to be alone at home without letting his ghosts get to him.

"But..." TK tried to pull away, struggled with it, though he barely had the strength to do so and in the end let Carlos's embrace be the only thing he felt around him. "I don't know if it's your baby and... I've taken pills Carlos... I've taken two pills to try... I wanted to abort... no, I didn't want to... I don't know... I was afraid... I am... I'm afraid that I'm growing inside me a creature that is not yours... I feel my insides burning. But then I imagined it was yours... and the nausea got stronger."

"Shhh." Carlos stroked his head and kissed his neck. "That's it... Mom told me, she said you threw up the pills."

"Is your mother still here?"

"Sure, you think she was going to leave you alone?"

Hi anon, let’s see if I can sum it up. Keep in mind that these are my thoughts and speculations given the current situation, so idk what will actually happen or when they will end bg.

Basically, CelebTM have presented the babygate situation in a way that paints B as a scammer, as someone who mismanages money and misuses her child support money. They have also introduced the narrative that Louis pays her ~$5K a month in child support, for a total of ~$60K a year. They have claimed that that is because Louis came to an arrangement with B about child support bc he didn’t want to take a paternity test and have to potentially pay MILLIONS more in child support.

That right there is reintroducing the fact Louis never took a paternity test. Moreover, it is also adding that what he pays her in child support is absolutely LAUGHABLE and NOT child support in the least. If it was, given his wealth, he would have to pay her something like ~$60K A MONTH in child support per CA law.

Check my child support tag for more info.

Adding to the doubt about his paternity is now the sonogram from a FERTILITY CLINIC. Which a young woman like her would not use for any reason. That type of clinic is reserved for patients with fertility issues or patients who cannot conceive so use a surrogate.

So to recap the narrative they have set up:

they’ve established B is a scammer

they’ve established she mismanages and misuses child support money

they’ve established Louis didn’t take a paternity test

they’ve established Louis has a “child support” agreement with B so he only pays $60K a year

they’ve established B has an ultrasound from a fertility clinic

All of those things leave it open for them to progress the narrative that Louis became increasingly suspicious of B and worried “for his kid”, and finally decided to take a paternity test. Which will inevitably lead to him “finding out” the kid is not his.

Anyways, to bring this back to controlling the narrative: 

All of this has been kept from the tabloids and has mostly just reached the fandom at this point. 

Now it is my opinion, that babygate began as PR so it will end as PR. But in order to end it they need to be careful in how they proceed. I talk about how they could do that here. So I think they are holding the story until the right time to start the ending, and that’s when TMZ will come in along with the other tabloids as well. If and when the other tabloids start to talk about it, they will have to link back to CelebTM, since they’ve had all of the exclusives till now for the story. That generates promo for this new tabloid and can help launch them into the main playing field. And being partnered with TMZ, it’s also good for TMZ, bc they’d have another tabloid out there that’s not a competitor. So I think it is a possibility that they have made a deal with TMZ, but the terms speculate that they need to keep things controlled. So using a “side tabloid” (lmao) that is partnered with TMZ is perfect.
