There is bathing in here, if that's an issue. Otherwise enjoy! :D

Chapter 12:
The mess Pepper was met with in the bathroom was considerably less adorable. Clint was soaked through and water was everywhere.
"Are you sure they gave you the right age?" Pepper asked as she pulled out some extra towels.
"I don't know, but I do know a little girl in big trouble," he said firmly. Natasha whimpered and Pepper glared at Clint before turning back to face her.
"Tasha, why did you make a water mess?" Pepper asked firmly.
"Cuz Daddy and I was splashin' a little and it was fun and then I tried to make big splashes," Tasha said, shivering slightly.
"Lets get you out," she relented. "Honey you cant make big splashes. It makes a big mess that Daddy or I have to clean up. Do you understand baby?"
"Yes Mommy," Tasha said as she rubbed her eyes. "I sleepy."
"How about I fix you some juice and you and Daddy cuddle, hmm?" Pepper offered.
"No! Wan' Mommy cuddles!" She whimpered.
Clint sighed. "I'll go see if Phil is back yet," he said quietly.
Pepper nodded and carried Tasha to their bedroom. She set her on the bed while she dug out pajamas.
"Mommy?" Natasha finally said.
"Yes darling?" Pepper answered.
"M'sowwy I was bad," she said sadly.
Pepper looked up to see tears in the poor girl's eyes. "Oh honey I forgave you before you even asked," She said with a quick kiss to the cheek, sliding a nightgown over Natasha's head.
"I'm a bad girl Mommy I'm sorry please don't hit me!" Natasha begged, having a flashback of her time in the Red Room.
"Shh, Mommy loves you very much honey and I will NEVER hurt you. Ever," Pepper cooed, remembering when both Tony and Natasha would have nightmares. "You're safe honey. Me and Daddy and Uncle Phil and Uncle Steve will keep you safe, okay? I promise."
Natasha's sobs slowly turned into quiet sniffles, and it was then Pepper noticed Phil and Clint watching from the door frame.
"Here's some pull-ups and a cup of juice," Phil said quietly, setting them at the foot of the bed. "We'll give you two some privacy."
Pepper nodded, whispering her thanks as she watched the two men leave.
MEANWHILE IN THE BATHTUB ON TONY'S PERSONAL FLOOR....
"Mommy's never gonna come back for me!" Tony sobbed, cuddling in to Steve's chest. The only way the super soldier had convinced his boyfriend to actually get in the tub was for the two of them to take a bath together. "She loves Tasha more than me. Everyone loves anything more than me! I suck!"
"Language little dude," Steve said, holding the smaller male in his arms. "And you know that's not true. Mommy loves you just as much as she loves Tasha. Tasha just can't do anything by herself."
"I can't do anything by myself either!" Tony wailed.
"You can too. You can build with your Lego's, and you can do science to a level that even Bruce doesn't understand, and you run a company for pete's sake! You can do lots of things by yourself."
"Doesn't mean I want to," Tony sniffled miserably. "Jus' wan' my mommy!"
"And she promised she would tuck you in and tell you a story Tony. JARVIS, is Tasha asleep yet?"
"No sir. Miss Potts and Dr. Banner are trying to calm her down from a flashback," The AI quietly informed them.
"See? She doesn't want me anymore!" Tony said.
"Alright Tony, enough wallowing," Steve declared. "I love you, and until such time as Mommy takes over, I'll be your.... Um..."
"Substitute Mommy?" Tony offered. Steve smiled. He quite liked that title.
"Sure buddy. I'll be Mommy number 3," He declared. "Now then, time to wash up and get ready for bed, okay?"
Tony nodded slowly, still thinking about Pepper as Steve bathed him. When it came time to get dressed though, there was no way he was going to make it easy on Steve. He just wasn't that way. Which was why he decided to run, butt naked, down the hall and hide himself in his closet. Steve huffed, having JARVIS keep an eye on him while he gathered up Tony's Captain America footies and a pull up.
"Tony?" He called as he entered the closet. "Time to get dressed for bed."
