Hello DaviSted,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If you're only getting replies on your iPad after sending an iMessage from it, then you may have a different address selected as sending and receiving when compared to the Messages settings on your iPhone. Please follow the steps below to configure both devices to use the same addresses on both devices.

Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices

Learn how to set up iMessage on multiple devices. The same steps apply when you set up FaceTime.

Sign in to an Apple ID on your iPhone. You will see all addresses verified with the account.

Tap an address to enable it on the device. The telephone number will be dimmed when you view these settings on an iPhone.

If you don't want to use iMessage with your iPhone telephone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.

You can sign in to the same Apple ID on another device. These images show the iMessage settings on an iPad and OS X using the same Apple ID.
iPad:

OS X:

After signing in to the Apple ID on another device, the iPhone will receive a notification. The notifications below explain that you used the Apple ID and phone number with iMessage on a MacBook Pro. You will receive a notification for every address or phone number you enable on each additional device.

iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

Take care.
