Baby's first kick
Tonight will be one of your first appearances in public since you found out about your pregnancy, and Robert can’t be more proud as he watches you get ready to join him on the red carpet. The two of you will be attending a movie premiere for a movie in which he is portraying his most famous character – Tony Stark – once again, and the butterflies in your stomach are slowly getting wilder with every passing minute.
“Can you help zip me up?” you ask as you’re standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror that is built into your walk-in closet. The warm light in the closet makes you look like you’re glowing, which combined with the pregnancy glow you’re sporting makes you look nearly angelic.
“Absolutely,” he says, and nearly instantly you feel the fabric of the dress closing around you with every move of your fiancé’s skilled fingers. Within no-time you’re ready to shine on the carpet alongside him, and he comes to stand closer to you, giving one of his favorite hugs; the hugs from behind where he can place his hands on your beautiful, growing belly, ensuring both of you can melt into each other’s touches.
“How’re you feeling tonight, Gorgeous?” His thumbs rub over your belly as he meets your gaze in the mirror, and you can see the pure love in his gaze.
“I am still a little bit tired, but the nap I took earlier definitely helped. Though I’m very content in your arms right now,” you say as you put your hands on his, letting the warmth of them seep into your cold hands. You allow your eyes to slip shut for a moment, wanting to take in every last second of this intimate moment for as long as you possibly can. Robert hums softly against your temple as he sways gently back and forth, making you feel relaxed to a point where only he can get you.
“Do we really have to go to the premiere? I’d rather stay home with you and cuddle up on the couch with some ice cream and a rom-com.” You let out a small sigh at the end of your question, and you feel your fiancé smile against your skin as he thinks about your offer.
“Hmm, on any other night I would have loved nothing more than that, but tonight I do have to go. I’m the star of the movie after all, and I don’t think they’d be happy if I of all people would not be in attendance,” he says, making you smile. You love his self confidence, and it’s one of his most attractive traits, and it often makes you chuckle, just like it does now.
“A yes would have sufficed, but I’m glad to know we’re on the same page when it comes to you being a star. I’m still very proud of you winning that Oscar last year,” you say as you turn around to face him, and his cheeks heat up at the mention of his Oscar win for his role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer. It’s the only moment that comes close to finding out about the little girl growing in your belly, but it’ll never top it.
“I’m proud too, Gorgeous, and I’m happy to have won it with you by my side.” He smiles lovingly at you before leaning down and capturing your lips in a featherlight peck that has the butterflies fluttering wildly in your belly. His thumbs gently rub over your arms as he takes the time to enjoy the moment, making it feel like you’re on cloud nine right now. As you gaze into his dark eyes, you can’t help but melt a little on the inside, your heart nearly leaping out of your chest from excitement.
“I believe it’s time we go, otherwise we’ll be late,” you tell him with a glance at your watch – which matches perfectly with all your other jewellery – and he nods before kissing your forehead and letting you go. Before you know it you’re in the car that will take you to the premiere, your hand interlaces with Robert’s the entire ride there. Your free hand is on your rounded belly, which has become your natural pose ever since you started to show, and you can’t get enough of touching your bump.
“Are you ready for the red carpet, Gorgeous? I know it’s the first time in a while you’ll be in the spotlight,” he asks in a soft tone, and you take a second to think about it before nodding.
“I am, though the nerves are also very present. It’s my first pregnancy so it’s a little nerve wracking to share it with the world but I’m grateful you’re there with me. That way I won’t be thrown in the deep end.” The spotlight has never been your thing, but for your husband-to-be you’ll happily endure the paparazzi, interviews and millions of eyes on you as you know how happy it makes him to show off his wife-to-be.
“We’re going to be alright, I promise. Thank you for coming with me tonight,” he says with a small smile and a squeeze in your hand, which you quickly reciprocate.
“I love you, Robert.” His entire face lights up at your little declaration of love, pride blooming in your chest at the sight. Seeing him happy always makes you happy, too. Not long after, it’s time for you to walk down the red carpet together, and you interlace your fingers with his right before stepping on, flashes going off everywhere the moment you’re in their line of sight.
You hear both your own and Robert’s name everywhere, photographers giving instructions and trying to get your attention, but all you can focus on is the man holding your hand and your daughter who’s happily growing in your belly. Everything else feels like it’s going by in a blur as you make your way past all the photographers, and then it’s time for the two of you to have some individual photos taken.
While posing for the camera – your hand on your bump again to ground yourself – you feel Robert looking at you, and when you look over you can see that he’s admiring you from a distance. Right as you’re about to walk over to him again, you feel something that has you stopping in your tracks immediately, your gaze focused on Robert’s as he looks at you with a hint of concern on his features. Within a few large steps he’s by your side, his hand on your belly out of protectiveness, but you can’t stop smiling.
“She just kicked for the first time,” you whisper to him, and he looks at you with disbelief.
“Are you- Did she really?” Robert asks with a broad smile, and you nod excitedly while you can’t stop smiling. Your daughter just kicked for the first time, and the moment is captured for the entire world to see, though you don’t notice any of them. All you care about is Robert as he sinks to his knees, kissing your belly that goes paired with loud wooing from the onlookers.
“Can you kick again for Daddy?” he asks your bump with a broad smile, and even though it’s very faint, he can still feel it. The last time he felt this happy and proud is when you said yes to marrying him almost a year ago, but to go through this all over again is like a gift from heaven. Robert then quickly gets up before cupping your cheeks and kissing you in a burst of pride and happiness, the smiles on your faces making it even better.
“I can’t believe our baby girl finally kicked! It’s a miracle!” he exclaims towards all the photographers, earning both of you some applause and more enthusiastic reactions. While tonight was already amazing, it got even better by the fact that the baby you have made with the love of your life kicked for the first time. It’s truly an unforgettable moment for everyone.
Daddy's voice
Throughout your pregnancy, there are a lot of things that change, but one thing that has stayed the same from the first moment it happened, is Robert talking to your daughter as you’re lying in bed in the evening. No matter how tough or long the day has been, and no matter what has been going on, their little daddy-daughter talk will always take place. It’s a piece of your routine you happily stick to, and tonight is even more special than usual.
“Hey, little girl. Are you awake? Your mommy and I have been awake for much too long already, but that’s what happens when we attend movie premieres and award ceremonies, as you know,” Robert starts off, his face on eye level with your growing stomach as you’re comfortably lying on your side. His hand is splayed on your side and stomach, the warmth seeping into your skin.
“But tonight was even more special, because your Daddy has won another award to add to his collection. And we did it thanks to you! You’re our good luck charm,” he says with excitement in his voice, and you can’t help but smile. Tonight has been an incredible night that will go into the history books as one of the best nights ever, as Robert winning any award is always amazing. But he’s also right, you’re both convinced she helped as your good luck charm.
“I’m curious to see how many more we will win, too,” your fiancé then tells your growing daughter, and this is met with the sweet gesture of a kick, which catches you both off-guard. Even though she’s been kicking more and more during the day, she’s usually pretty easy going during the night, giving you plenty of opportunity to get your much-needed sleep while you still can.
“Did you- she kicked!” Robert exclaims, his eyes wide with wonder as his fingers glide over the spot she just kicked, happy tears gathering in the corners of his eyes. The human body during pregnancy will always be amazing to him, and moments like these make him even more proud to become a dad, especially knowing you’re carrying his baby, the little girl of your dreams who’s a result of your shared love.
“She did! She’s been kicking a lot of course, but it’s extra special she kicked now of all moments.” You let your fingers glide through your fiancé’s hair, letting the soft strands glide through your fingers as you bask in the moment.
“That, and I know she agrees with the statement that she’s our lucky charm.” You can’t help but chuckle at his comment, and you hum in response, your heart filling with love as he presses soft kisses to your growing bump - his facial hair tickling the sensitive skin which makes you laugh as a result. Then, right as he’s about to pull back, your daughter kicks him again right where he pressed the kiss, making your husband-to-be even happier than before.
“Hey, I was giving kisses to your mama, don’t kick me away!” he says in a faux-offended voice, making you laugh even harder than before. This is met with a few more kicks from your daughter, and Robert can’t help but look at it with a sparkle in his eyes. He’d known love before, but moments like this make him realize what true love is. Lying in bed with you as you share the special moments together is not something he would want to miss for the world, and this routine is definitely one you’ll enjoy for as long as you can.
Weird cravings
“Robert?” you gently shake your fiancés arm as you try to wake him, your belly rumbling in hunger as you try to get his attention. He has always told you that you can wake him for anything, and while you were hesitant at first, you do it a lot more now that your cravings are coming at every time of the day, no matter what. Your baby has a knack for odd cravings, but it’s never been a problem for him, and you’re certain now won’t be any different.
He groans softly as he turns around, his eyes slowly opening as he turns around to face you.
“What’s on your mind, Gorgeous? Are you having one of your cravings again?” You can feel your cheeks heating up at his question, and the roughness of his voice from lack of use sends a shiver down your spine. Still, you hum in response and within seconds he has found the glasses that are on his nightstand, ready to get you anything and everything you and your daughter are craving.
“I- I’ve been having a craving for eating watermelon. The thought sneaked into my head right before falling asleep and I’m so hungry that it’s the only thing I’ve been wanting for the past 30 minutes.” Your voice lowers as you admit shyly that you’ve been thinking about it for a while, knowing you could have woken him up much sooner. For now, Robert decides to let that comment slide, though he does make a mental note to talk about it later, as you’re always allowed to ask for whatever you want, whenever you want it.
“If you and our little Princess want to eat a watermelon, then that’s exactly what you’re getting. Do you want me to cut it up and bring it here, or are you coming with me to the kitchen to enjoy it there?” For a moment you think about the options, but you really don’t want to be too far away from him, no matter how comfortable the bed and sheets are. After letting him know you’ll be happy to join him, you climb out of bed before walking over to where he’s patiently waiting on you, your fingers intertwining with his before walking to the large kitchen together.
As soon as you walk into the kitchen, the light immediately turns on to a dim setting, giving enough light to do what you need to do, but not so much that you’re immediately blinded by it. Robert helps you to sit on one of the bar stools before placing a kiss on your nose, leaving you smiling like a teenager who’s in love with his crush before he swiftly moves to the fridge, where a small watermelon has been waiting for you to be enjoyed.
“Slices or cubes?” he asks, though he already knows the answer.
“Cubes, please!” you say with a happy tone, and he quickly gets to work on slicing the fruit, popping a piece of the juicy fruit in your mouth before taking one for himself, too. Soon, the entire watermelon is cut up in bite size pieces and a bowl is filled with them, allowing the two of you to eat them more easily. He walks over to your side of the kitchen island after washing his hands and putting all the dishes and scraps away, wanting to be close to you as you enjoy the fruit you’ve been craving so badly.
As you reach for the bowl, you see you husband-to-be lifting his hand and bringing a cube to your lips instead of his own, and you smile before leaning in and closing your lips around the juicy fruit, a soft moan escaping as you enjoy the coldness as well as the sweetness of the pink fruit, your eyes slipping shut as you take in the moment. There’s not many things more intimate than moments like these where you feed each other, and you can’t get enough of it.
“One more?” you ask after swallowing, and he chuckles before bringing the next piece to your lips, his eyes trained on the way your mouth takes the piece of fruit so effortlessly, your face lighting up from excitement as the sweetness makes you do a little happy dance in the chair. It doesn’t take long for it all to be gone, and you’re starting to get sleepy again as you lean against his side, his arms gently holding you up.
“Let’s go back to bed, okay? We have a long day ahead of us, and you need to get all the sleep you can get,” he tells you, and you hum before getting off the chair and letting him guide you back to bed. With your craving fulfilled, you fall asleep like a log, your fiancé’s arm protectively wrapped around your belly as you’re pulled against his chest. He will happily help you fulfill any and all the cravings you can have, no matter how odd they may be. And soon, he’ll find out exactly how odd they can get.
“Can you hand me the pickles?” you ask Robert as you’re trying to reach the Nutella that’s stored in the large pantry. He’s been helping you by putting some of the groceries away, but you suddenly get a massive craving for something sweet and tart, and you know exactly how you want to fulfill it.
“Of course, but don’t they need to go-” is all he can say before you’re taking both the pickles and Nutella to the kitchen counter, where you swiftly open both before grabbing one of the pickles and dipping them into the chocolate spread without hesitation. The entire time, Robert looks at you with a combination of horror and wonder, as he’s both curious and a little horrified at the combination you’re currently enjoying.
“Thank you, Handsome. I really needed this,” you say before taking another bite of the pickle, a satisfied smile on your lips as you do. He shakes his head before walking over to you with a smile and kissing your head lovingly. No matter how weird the cravings will get, he’ll always be happy to indulge you in every single one, as he wants nothing more than to see you happy.
Satisfying all desires
If there’s one quote Robert lives by, it’s “happy wife, happy life”. Despite the fact that you two haven’t tied the knot yet, he still aims to please and make you happy in every way he can, and one of those things is to satisfy every single desire you could have. Whether it’s the craving for pickles with Nutella, to be relaxing in a warm bath so you can destress and read for an hour or two, or to spend your entire evening and night having the most mind-blowing sex you could ever desire, he will not deny you a single thing.
But the same thing can be said for you satisfying Robert’s desires, too, as he loves nothing more than to tell you how much he loves your growing bump every chance he gets.
“S so big and beautiful- fuck-” Robert groans as you spread your legs to let him get settled between them, his cock nearly aching from how hard it is as it’s dribbling precum. While the two of you have extensively explored his breeding kink - which has gotten you pregnant in the first place - it was a nice surprise to discover his pregnancy kink, too, and neither one of you can get enough of it.
“Are you talking about me, Daddy? Or this beautiful cock of yours?” You ask as you lean forward to wrap your hand around his length, the hardness a stark contrast against the silky soft skin wrapping around. A soft groan is audible at your grasp as well as your words, and you can’t stop smiling as he leans in closer, his lips now next to your ear.
“Both,” he whispers, the hot breath ghosting past your ear making a trail of goosebumps appear on your neck. As he crawls even closer you let go of him, allowing him to take his place between your legs where you need him most.
“But if there’s one thing I’ll never get enough of it’s seeing you pregnant- the growing belly that makes me go wild at every second of every day, the glow that makes you the most beautiful of angels, and every single thing that comes with it, it all drives me wild in the best way possible, Gorgeous. I will never get enough of you and your body, and I’m adoring every single change that goes along with you carrying my child.”
“Robert-” is all you can say before he captures your lips with his, the possessiveness of it catching you off guard in the best way possible. You’re clenching around nothing as he lets his fingertips explore the skin on your neck, down to your breasts and hardened nipples and over your growing belly, all the way to the most sensitive spots on your inner thigh. Not a single spot is forgotten as he keeps your mind preoccupied with the kiss, making it very intimate and perfect.
“You can lie back and let me do all the work tonight, hot mama. You’re mine to take care of, and you’re growing a human inside you, so just let me take care of you, okay? Just let me adore you,” he says, and you nod while biting your bottom lip, the smirk on his lips turning you on even more. His lips take their time to kiss every inch of you, paying special attention to your sensitive, hardened nipples until you’re begging for more, which is when he finally moves down to your now dripping pussy.
The rest of the night he takes his time to build you up to the highest of highs before gently allowing you to come down, his own pleasure being pulled from yours. He’s unable to stop telling you how much he loves you, telling you all about how ‘’fucking sexy” you are when pregnant, and fucking you completely dumb with his long, thick, veiny cock until you cannot think straight anymore. By the end of the night you can’t do anything other than hiding your face in your fiancé’s neck as he works you through your last orgasm of the night, your entire body trembling from all the pleasure it has endured.
“I love you, Gorgeous. And you know what I love most about you?” he asks as he peppers your face in kisses. You hum in response, unable to let out a single word.
“What a good girl you are for Daddy.”
With those words, he lifts you off the bed and towards the shower where he ensures you’re washed thoroughly while praising you the entire time, and the closeness of his body against yours the entire time is something you’re craving more than ever. He doesn’t leave your side for even a second, and when you’re snuggled up in bed - after Robert ensured the two of you have some clean, dry sheets to sleep on - you’re slowly falling into a deep, dreamless slumber in his arms.
An unexpected babyshower
The text you received from Robert - telling you to be ready at 12.30 PM as a car will pick you up - is going through your mind as you’re sitting in the back of the car he had sent to pick you up, as it was short and simple, but it also left countless questions for you to think about when getting ready. He’s currently on set to reprise his role of the (in)famous genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist Tony Stark, and he shot you the text between scenes, leaving your return message unanswered to this very moment.
After rummaging through the clothes in your closet for a little while, you finally settled on wearing a light pink, knitted dress that shows off your pregnancy belly beautifully, combined with some boots and your hair tied up so it’s not in your face. Your make-up is light and you’re keeping the jewellery simple, too, as you’re wearing your engagement ring, a small necklace with the letter ‘R’ on it, and the diamond earrings he bought you on your first anniversary.
As soon as you arrive on the set where he’s filming, you’re let out of the car before being taken to the set where your husband-to-be is currently filming a fight scene, the concentration and determination clearly visible on his handsome features. He’s always been passionate about acting, but when it comes to his role as Tony he is passionate on a whole different level. The moment the fight scene is over he looks over to you, and his face splits into a wide grin, that has your heart beating faster and your own smile widening, too.
“You’re a sight for sore eyes, Gorgeous! You’re looking even better than I expected,” he tells you as he cups your cheeks, his thumbs rubbing your cheekbones gently. Then he leans in for a kiss, your lips instantly parting to allow his tongue to find its way to yours, ready for a dance of passion as the world around you seems to fade. It’s only until someone next to you clears their throat that he pulls back, leaving you flustered in the best way possible.
“I’ll have a quick change, and then I’ll be all yours during lunch, okay?” he asks, and you nod before kissing his lips again, and he quickly runs off the set, leaving you to talk to some of his Marvel co-stars you haven’t seen in a while.
“How’s the pregnancy going? All I hear from Robert are the good sides, but you and I both know it’s not all that great,” Scarlett asks as she looks you over, and you laugh at her comment before telling her about the little girl in your belly, though you don’t get to finish your story before Robert has returned again.
“I’m sorry about needing to break up whatever this is, but I will need to lend my lovely wife-to-be for a moment,” he says and Scarlett wishes you luck before getting changed, too, getting ready for the surprise Robert has been planning for a few weeks now. Almost everything is ready to go - all that’s left is for his fellow cast members to make their way over to the part of the set that has been redesigned for the afternoon.
“I know you’ve talked about wanting a baby shower a lot, and while this might not be what you had in mind, I still hope you will enjoy this, Gorgeous. All you need to do is enjoy your time here, and to let yourself be spoiled rotten, as this is just as much about you as it is about little Carol,” he says as his hand gently strokes the side of your belly. You nod excitedly before standing on your tiptoes to kiss him, his facial hair scratching your face softly.
“Thank you, Robert. Not only for the baby shower, but for everything. I’m the luckiest girl on earth with you,” you say as you’re whispering to him, and he smiles widely before leaning in, this time taking the lead in the kiss as he gently dips you backwards, his hand supporting you so you’re not falling over. While your heart rate goes a mile a minute and you’re trying to catch your breath after he pulled away, the Marvel cast is ready for your baby shower, and they’re all wearing one or multiple pink items.
The afternoon is spent catching up with everyone, opening many presents; one of your favorites being a teddy bear that has red and gold details - the colors Robert often wears while playing Tony Stark. Each gift is very thoughtful and you’re giving everyone the biggest of hugs as you open their gifts, unable to stop smiling. Then it’s time for some more catching up with your favorite foods to go along with it, as well as some of your pregnancy cravings which are mostly getting weird looks from all the men.
“If you knew what it’s like to be pregnant, you would know these are some of the best combinations around!” you joke before dipping a pickle into a fresh jar of Nutella, making everyone shudder and laugh at the same time. It’s an unforgettable day, and you couldn’t be happier to have a partner like Robert by your side through it all
Robert's birthday present
From the moment you and Robert discovered that your baby was supposed to be born in the week after Robert’s birthday, you have jokingly said that it would be funny if your daughter would be born on his birthday. The universe must have listened somehow as you were rushed into the labor and delivery ward of your closest private clinic as soon as you arrived. Robert can’t stop smiling at the thought that his baby will be born on his birthday, and there’s simply not a better gift on earth than that.
The labor lasted for a grueling 14 hours, but at 10:19 PM, on April 4th, 2025, you’re finally saying hello to the little girl growing in your belly for nine months. It’s been a long road, but to be at this point right now, holding your daughter in your arms for the very first time, you can’t help but let the tears flow as you look down at her.
“She’s as beautiful as you are, Gorgeous. She has the same rounded cheeks, and beautiful lips, but oddly enough has my nose!” Robert says with a chuckle as he’s standing by the side of your bed, admiring the little baby in your arms.
“It’s a beautiful nose, though, and it fits her perfectly,” you tell him, not looking away from Carol for even a second. The moment she was first put in your arms felt like love at first sight, and a wave of relief washed over you as the relief sank in that the worst is finally over. As you look at your daughter, you see more and more of your husband-to-be in her small face - his perfect nose and the color of her eyes before she closes them as she falls back asleep. But you also see bits of yourself in her - the color of your hair, and a hint of your dimpled smile are also visible.
Together they make a beautiful mix of you both, and it’s an honor to have her in your arms after everything you went through. But to know she’ll be sharing a birthday with your best friend and the man you fell for all those years ago, is something that makes you prouder than anything.
“Happy birthday, Robert,” you whisper as he’s gently stroking your daughter's cheek with his thumb, just the way he always does it to you.
“The happiest,” he whispers in return, making you smile wide. He couldn’t have wished for a better present on his birthday, and he never imagined he’d be fortunate enough to welcome one more child into this world, but this time with you. The woman who’s been there for him through good times and bad, and who has loved him like no one has ever done before. You’re the love of his life, and he is yours.
And now, your love for one another is wrapped in a small blanket while wearing a blush pink onesie and a matching hat, proudly displaying her name: Carol Downey.
