Some Insanity of the Temporary Kind Otherwise Known As Romanov/ Stark Family Dinner
There were very few things that they did as a family so it made these family dinners even more important. They were an unorthodox family to say the least, but they were a family and families had dinner on occasion. Natasha tried to do this at least once a month, but things had been so hectic lately and with people spread out all over it was hard to organize family dinners.

Reservations were made at Delmonico Steakhouse in a private room. Family dinners were an /experience/ and better that they were off in private instead of scaring the masses. Not to mention there was less chance of the media snapping pictures and whatnot.

Natasha checked her reflection in the mirror. It was a new black dress to accommodate her growing stomach and her favorite jewelry. There was definitely a very noticeable baby bump now. The baby had become very active in the past two weeks and was taking aim at Tasha's organs. Thankfully he was still small enough to not hurt so much.

When they were ready to go Tony and Tasha headed over to the restaurant. The kids would arrive with their dates on their own. They were shown to the private room and their table.

Misha and Lyta arrived soon after Anya and were shown to the private dining room. Misha could get away with more casual attire, but he did wear slacks and a jacket from his Mom closet. He kissed Mom's cheek, tugged on Anya's hair, and seated Lyta across from Steve and took the seat next to her.

He hadn't even considered needing a note. Until Dad surfaced from either his good time on the blind date, or his berserker rage for being set up, the safest place to be was near Mom. Dad wouldn't upset Mom in her condition.

	Steve had gotten himself cleaned up and had even asked for Anya's approval on his choice of attire for the evening. He had, up until the last moment, nearly pleaded "recovery" but opted not to, because it seemed important to her. Now he just had to go the evening without making a fool out of himself.

	Lyta had chosen a simple, but classy strapless black dress, with a white shrug on over it. She'd tucked her wings away, as she had desire to be stared at or to be whacking people in close proximity. She smiled at everyone in greeting before sitting do (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve also stood a bit, to help with the reaching, and took Lyta's hand and shook it. "Likewise," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's my fault," Val said, "Lester got loose and was wreaking havoc in the kitchen. Rabbits." She gave them a small grin. She'd settled on a light blue dress that evening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony was busy making some preparations and requests regarding Tasha this evening when everyone arrived. Of course, once he comes back, he finds that his family, and their respective dates, have arrived.

"I'm glad everyone could make it tonight." he says, smiling. He walks over to Misha first to shake his hand.

"Misha, good to see you. Lyta, you look lovely as always." he says.

	'Mr. Stark' almost flowed right out of his mouth, but he managed to say "Thanks, Tony. Mom's looking well. Guess that means Grandpa Ivan and I won't be going all Russian on you just yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Funnier than you, Private America," Steve shot back. Okay, best behavior here. Well... maybe better than his best. Because his best wasn't necessarily so great. Just because Anya's parents hadn't murdered him yet didn't mean they wouldn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha watched all of it with interest. Bickering and teasing were normal for family dinners and it was nice to see her childrens' dates fitting in with the normal insanity. She reached over and took Tony's hand and gave it a squeeze. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Don't worry, Misha. I intend to make sure your mother doesn't stress or tire herself out. She's been working with me thus far, but I also try to remember not to hover. It's easier not to get shot that way." he says.

He takes Tasha's hand and kisses it gently.

"You look beautiful, Tasha. I know, I said that earlier. But it's been about twenty minutes, and I thought you should know." he says.

	"Val, it's good to see you and it's good to see that you're keeping Dork away from the video games." Anya watched her parents and smiled. It was good to see them happy. They deserved some happiness after all that they've been through in the past two years. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm pregnant, not an invalid or fragile," Natasha half-heartedly grumbled. "I'm not going to break. I have done this before. Twice as a matter of fact."

She smiled and blushed in response to her husband's words. "And you Mr. Stark are looking incredibly handsome."

That should be enough to embarrass the kids a bit. "Okay, status reports," Natasha said. There was a certain routine to family dinners.
