[ At first missing her period doesn't actually register. It used to happen pretty regularly, due to malnutrition or her rather physically demanding lifestyle, and if it's been regular lately it's still not something that particularly comes to mind as a problem. She's always been careful about ensuring that her birth control implant is well before its good-till date. It was important, back when she was never sure at any given moment whether she'd wind up in hands she didn't want to be again, and the instinct has stayed well ingrained.
It's about when her second period is due and doesn't show up and she starts to tally up how many mornings lately she's felt a little nauseous that the possibility sudden hits with a feeling somewhere along the line between 'I just got hit in the stomach with a basketball really hard' and 'I have a concussion'. She doesn't say anything to Tony, but she goes out to pick up a test almost immediately and when she gets back and finishes staring at the little plus sign she locks herself in her room for a long time and paces, back and forth, up and down. She'd drink, but she's not allowed any more right now apparently.
She'd really like a drink right now. Like, really really like it.
It takes her a long time to finally get up the courage to leave her room and go in search of Tony, the (positive, very very positive, she can't stop remembering that it's positive) test in her pocket. At first her wandering is kind of aimless, but eventually she asks JARVIS and goes where he directs her, says before she can lose her nerve. ] We need to talk about something. [ And then sort of freezes in still shell shocked confusion because she has no idea how she's supposed to say this or how he's going to react and how she feels and what she wants to do and literally anything important, she doesn't know almost anything right now and it's a really unsettling feeling. ]
