Getaway
It had taken some time and a lot of hints and suggestions, but Natasha had finally convinced Tony to take a few days off and go somewhere else. Natasha was getting cabin fever and had to get out of the penthouse for a little while. She would shoot someone if she didn't get a change of scenery and she would need her husband around after the baby came.

It was nice on Martha's Vineyard this time of the year and it was close enough to New York that if something happened they could get home easily enough. The yacht was nice, but Natasha wanted dry land under her feet and places to shop. She loved the small quaint shops on the Vineyard and she would convince her husband to take her shopping.

They got settled in at Tony's house on the Vineyard after a four hour drive (and many stops to use the bathroom) and a short ferry ride over to the island. As soon as they were settled, Natasha went to find her husband to see if he wanted to go for a bite to eat. Someone was demanding french fries.

	Natasha reached across the table and took Tony's hand to give it a squeeze. "No one is fooled by the Zero Point Energy excuse, my love." Natasha nodded. "Yes. We got lucky with Anya and I know we're pressing our luck with this one. He's bound to be a hell raiser." She smiled. "Just like his father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony kisses her fingers. "Anya believed it until she was about eleven or so. And it's the truth." he mock-protests.

But Tony looks incredulous at Natasha's insinuation that Eddie will be a hellraiser.

"I don't even know where to start, I'm so offended. Natasha, I am the poster child for upright, forthcoming and honest behavior. There are manuals and news stories abounding with tales of my virtue and purity--"

Tony can barely get the last word out of his mouth he's laughing so hard.

"This world is not ready for a Tony Stark 3.0." Tony says.

	Natasha was laughing with him. "I don't think the world was ready for Tony Stark 1.0. Thankfully Anya and Nick will have Romanov genes to balance out those Stark genes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You realize that's only going to amplify those Stark traits, right? What if Eddie decides he really likes being nobility and goes that route?" Tony says, thinking about that in his head for a moment.

He's already going to be drop-dead gorgeous because of his parents...getting mobbed no matter where he goes...smart as whip...

This kid will be perfect, just like Anya.

"We make beautiful kids, don't we?" he asks.

	"I don't even want to consider that possibility," she said. "I want to see him do anything but that or be a spy. Even if it means another suit of armor." Natasha popped the last French fry in her mouth. She smiled. "That we do," she agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Honestly, I think I've had my fill of armored kids, too. It may be a sign of my old age, but I'm starting to forget what all of them do, from time to time." Tony says. "But this family could use another spy. Or just a plain old businessman. Or maybe a lawyer. I'd like a lawyer." Tony considers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How about we let him decide when he gets to that bridge?" she suggested. "Ready to go? I believe there was mention of shopping and then back and foot rubs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, but honey! I was enjoying this." he chuckles. He pays the tab and moves to take his wife's hand to escort her out of the restaurant. "Hm. There are a few shops here, but more on the next street over. Can you walk it, honey?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-26 03:15 am UTC (link)
	"I can walk," she said as she leaned into him. She wouldn't put it past him to carry her and she didn't want to cause a scene. "I want to go in the one across the street. I want to look at some antiques." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony wasn't sure they'd fine anything she liked there, but he was willing to go through each store one by one until she found things she wanted. He escorts her to the Antique Store and opens the door for her so she can go inside.

He sees a couple of lamps that might look nice in the penthouse, and a table that would look great in the Malibu house.

"Hm. Not a bad selection here." he says. "See anything you like?"

	"Mmmhmm," Natasha said as she wandered over to a dusty display case that held old jewelry. A ring caught her eye and she wanted a closer look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-08-26 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Tony walks up behind his wife at the case, and he politely asks the owner if they can see the ring in question. He'll let her study the ring, while he silently makes eye contact with the cashier. He nods as if to say "I'll take it", while Tasha continues to look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-26 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Natasha handed the ring back to the clerk with a smile. "Thank you." Natasha wandered over to a bookshelf to check out the selection. One could usually find first or second editions of books in stores like this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony follows his wife and tries to find which items are catching her attention. When she falls asleep tonight or tomorrow, he'll be back here picking everything she showed more than a passing interest in.

Something about that ring seemed to have gotten to her, though, so that would go home with them this evening.

"Do you know how sexy you look when you're just perusing?" he asks.

	"Flattery, Mr. Stark, will get you everywhere," Natasha said and kissed his cheek. "I'm ready to go. Suddenly that foot rub and back rub seem more appealing than shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All right. Then we'll go do that. But did you see that shelf of books over there?" he asks, pointing to her left.

He didn't want his wife to see him pick up the ring, hoping to surprise her when they were back home.

"See if there's anything you like there. I don't want you leaving without anything at all." he says, turning to take the ring from the cashier behind her back.

	"No, but give me a moment to check it out." Natasha went over to the bookshelf and started looking at the selection of books. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony mentally commends himself on his stealth abilities and silently pays for the ring and slips it in his coat pocket. When done, he returns to his wife, kissing her on the shoulder. "If it's in Russian, you should buy it and read it to me." he suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-28 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"They're all in English, but I can still read them to you in Russian." "I'm ready to go," she told him. She took his hand and gave it a tug. "Come on, Mr. Stark. I need to get you back to your wife." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, now, wait a minute." Tony says as they walk to the door.

"You stole me from my wife, and now you're just giving me /back/? First of all, I feel used. Secondly, you can't just /give me back/. I mean, you should at least challenge her for the right to keep me. There should be an epic battle with car chases, a shootout, and possibly a make-out scene between the two of you." Tony says, feeling that such is the least of his worth.

"Okay, you and the wife can at least have a catfight and argue over whose feet I'm rubbing first." Tony says.

"I'd punch out your husband for you." he grins.

	Natasha laughed and slipped her arm around his waist. "I love you, Anthony. Even if you are a very silly man at times." She kissed his cheek. "I know it wouldn't even be a contest. I could kick your wife's ass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-08-28 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, I don't know. She keeps a gun in easy reach and threatens to shoot me regularly, and that was before I got her all knocked up. She alternates between wanting to shoot me and wanting back-rubs. So far, I've been safe." he says. "Bringing you home might be the icing on the cake. Will you protect me?" he asks playfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I bet I'm a better shot than she is," Natasha said with a laugh and leaned into him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tony smiles and leads his wife home, getting her inside the house and onto the couch. "Do you want to watch TV or just relax in bed while we do this?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-08-28 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Bed," she said. "I want to stretch out and if I fall asleep I don't want to have to get up and move." She smiled. "Besides, I may not let you stop at my feet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
