Dads and daughters
Anya felt like being home for the night. It wasn't that she didn't like Cambridge or her team, just once and awhile she needed to be home and be around her crazy family. Tonight was one of those nights. As soon as classes were over and she checked on the team, she suited up and rocketed home to New York.

She thought about going to see Steve, but tonight family was called for. She just hoped that Mom wasn't cranky and Dad was actually home. Otherwise it would be time with Brother Dork Two and Anya didn't feel like getting her ass kicked at video games all night.

It was around four-ish when she arrived at the penthouse and found Mom and Dad there. Thankfully she hadn't walked in on anything that would send her to see Doc Samson. Then again Anya had been certain to call ahead and ask Mom what they were doing for dinner tonight and weigh in with what she wanted. That was a clue that she was going to be there and adults needed to be dressed.

She spent some time catching up with Mom and explaining the SHIELD and SWORD mess and then went to find Dad. It had been awhile since she had some quality time with him and just sat down and talked. She missed him and missed talking to him on a regular basis.

Anya found him in the home office. She knocked lightly on the open door to get his attention.

"That makes two of us. I admit, I was a little worried when we got back together and decided to get married. We'd both tried so many times over the years to get to this place, but something always happened." Tony says.

Logan was the man Tony had mostly worried about, though Nick Fury featured in a few of his best nightmares as well, which was strange, because Matt Murdock had been in the running for a long time as well.

"But we're both happy. I know I am. I'm also proud of your mother. She's been a real trooper about this whole pregnancy. I was scared at first, even after having raised you." Tony says.

"And yes, she does. She knows me too well. It's okay, though. I'm getting practice for sleep deprivation in November. Soon, we'll both be getting up when someone calls us." Tony smiles.

"You both had to grow up first," Anya said. "Now that you have, well just enjoy it and be happy." If anyone deserved to be happy it was her parents.

Anya grinned. "You mean you're just happy she hasn't shot you yet. It's not everyday a seventy some year old woman has a baby."

"Hey you never know, we may have a member of this family who actually sleeps." She looked at him. "It could happen."

"Yes, I am glad she hasn't shot me. I'm sure she's wanted to a couple of times in recent months, but she hasn't. She's the hottest seventy-year old mom I ever met." Tony grins.

He simply looks at Anya when she suggests a sleeping Stark. He reaches out to place a hand on her forehead.

"You don't /look/ sick, but a sleeping Stark is a fever dream, honey. Your mom thinks Eddie might come out running, literally, with all the kicking he's been doing." Tony says.

He pauses for a moment, then looks his daughter in the eye.

"You're really okay with this, aren't you, sweetheart? I mean, you'd tell me if you weren't? I know things weren't normal for you, what with all the extra brothers and sisters that have shown up, and your mother being gone a lot." Tony says.

"But I'm gonna need your help with your brother most of all. You'll have to remind me when I'm being too much Dad and enough friend, and vice-versa. I'll also need you to help me remember when to calm down because he's driving me nuts.

Most of all, though, I'll need you remind me that you turned out well, so when I'm terrified that I'm turning out like my old man, you can tell me to relax." Tony says.

"It could happen," she said and rolled her eyes when he placed his hand on her forehead. "We're all weird in different ways."

Anya shrugged. "I'm okay with it. I don't think it's a good idea, but you and Mom seem to be happy and happy with having another child. Sure it's going to cause a lot of disruptions, but we'll adjust." She smiled. "Besides, I've always wanted to be a really cool big sister."

Anya frowned at the mention of Howard. "Dad, you'll never be anything like Grandpa Howard. No matter what happens you'll never be him. Mom would definitely shoot you." She smiled again. "I always have your back, Dad."

"Thank you for the vote of confidence." Tony says genuinely. He's not a man prone to self-doubt, but where his father is concerned, Tony is very much afraid of becoming Howard Stark.

"Eddie will think you hung the moon, as big sisters go. Just remember that your mother and I have a standing agreement that he doesn't get any armor until he's sixteen. So don't even let him see you in your armor before then or he'll be all over us for his own." Tony grins.

"You're going to make great CEO someday, Anya. I know our family's legacy is going to be in good hands with you." he says.

	Anya blinked and then threw her arms around her father in a tight hug/ "Thanks, Dad. Hearing that means a lot and knowing you have such confidence in me means a lot. I'm going to try to be the best big sister in the history of big sisters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I have no doubt you'll do just that, Anya." Tony says, hugging his daughter.

"Eddie will love you as much as your Mom and I do. And someday, you're going to have to take care of him when we're not here anymore." Tony says.

It's a fact of life. He's already fifty and he's not getting any younger. Another eighteen years of child-rearing and he'll be as old as Tasha is now...and he won't look nearly as good.

	"Don't talk like that," she admonished. She had almost lost both of her parents recently and it was still too soon to talk about them not being around. "You're going to be around for a very long time. Besides, one day you'll have grandbabies to spoil outrageously with Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, let's not talk about grandkids, yet. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that I'm about to have a newborn again." Tony says.

"But when it is time for grandkids, do not worry. I have plenty of activities lined up. First, there's Cars 101. Then there's Meeting and Dating Women 101. There will also be stuff based around building cars and A.I.'s from scratch.

Just wait. You'll have a kid building his own engines by the time he's six, Anya. A certified genius to keep the Stark tradition alive." Tony grins.

"In fact, we should start doing a Stark Car Expo every year, just so there's something to show the grand-kids when they're older. I'm gonna look into that." he says.

	"Dad...." There could be a tone of warning there. Definitely a bad feeling about this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just kidding. Relax!" Tony says. "He or she will be building them by the time they're four!" Tony says, ducking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya groaned. "Either way, it's a long time away. I want to be running the company before I have kids." She smiled. "But Steve and I will have beautiful kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-08-01 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Well-played, Anya. Well-played. You and Steve just make sure you two don't decide to have kids until you're about sixty or so. I think that's plenty of time for me to prepare for this." Tony says. "Actually, let's make it seventy-four. A nice round number." Tony suggests dryly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh he totally set himself up and she was going to take advantage of it. "I'm totally not in a rush to have kids, but it never hurts to practice." Cue the famous Stark wiseass grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-08-01 06:02 am UTC (link)
	"Actually, it /does/ hurt to practice. A lot. There is much pain and suffering involved." Tony says. "Steve may even lose a body part or two." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony will count this as a victory. "Yes. I think we'll watch your third birthday. That was a fun one." Tony grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great," Anya grumbled. "Come on. The sooner we get that over with, the sooner we can go in the lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-08-01 06:58 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, better idea. I just had a new system set up down in the lab. We can watch the movies from the lab now." he grins. "Seriously, I'm thinking the new company motto should be 'Stark Industries: Sometimes we even amaze ourselves'." Tony beams. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya rolled her yes. "Come on. Let's get down there and get to work. Mom won't be happy if you go to bed too late tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think she'll forgive me if I'm spending time with you. You know how much she worries about you while you're away, honey." he says, leading his daughter toward the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony mock-salutes. "Yes, ma'am. That was very take-charge of you. But let's get to work so we can both get started at a reasonable time." Tony says, kissing Anya on the forehead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-01 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Anya shook her head. "Someone has to look out for you." To the lab they went. (Reply to this)(Parent)
