Princess and Dad talk
Anya flew to New York after her last class of the day. Thankfully she was done with classes at noon today so she had plenty of time to spend with Mom, Dad and Nick. It had been awhile and Anya needed contact with the family on a regular basis or things weren't right with the world. Not to mention she had to see how Dad was doing with the whole her getting married to Steve thing.

While Dad was still working Anya played with Nick and let Mom take a nap. She could handle a baby for an hour or two.

The two of them sat on the floor in the living room and Anya made funny faces and noises at Nick to get him to laugh. Laugh he did. Nick was a happy baby and was always laughing and smiling. Anya laughed right along with him. Little brothers were great she concluded. It was the older ones that gave her grief.

"Who's the best baby?" she asked and poked his little belly.

	"Anya, don't be so tough on Misha. He loves you, but he's got his own life." Tony says, saying nothing else on the matter. "We're still looking. I've heard of a couple of sightings, but nothing concrete yet." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She looked away and didn't say anything. He could believe that if he wanted. She knew why her brother stayed away and didn't associate with this side of the family.

She looked down at the baby in her lap. "Have you started talking yet? You need to tell the folks exactly how things are."

"He'll turn up. Cockroaches always do." Anya had never gotten along with Cousin Eddie and probably never would.

	"And when he, or Maggie does, we'll squash them." Tony says. "In the meantime, I want you to relax and enjoy your life. You've got enough on your plate as it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have the perfect boots to do it with too," she grinned. "Please. I'm a /Stark/. I'm not happy unless I have a million things on my plate. You and Mom were /horrible/ role models." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, do I as say, not as I do." Tony says. "And that goes double for you, little man." he grins at Eddie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh sure you say that /now/ instead of during my formative years. It's too late for me." She picked Nick up and put him against her shoulder. "Sorry to break it to you kid, you're cursed with being a workaholic insomniac." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, now, he doesn't even know what those words mean yet. He might just surprise us all and be utterly normal. An utterly normal Stark. It really /can/ be done." Tony assures his daughter. Of course, it hadn't happened in his family, like, ever. But there was no reason that it couldn't now....right? Even Eddie didn't look convinced. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An utterly normal Stark? Is such a thing even possible? There has not been a normal Stark in the history of Starks," Anya said. "And to think Steve willingly joined this family. Oh, that reminds me. I have the pre-nup for you to put in the safe." She rubbed the baby's back. "Daddy's getting delusional in his old age, Nick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah, let me have that pre-nup right now. I'll put it in the safe while you tell your brother that you didn't mean what you just said. Daddy is not old, Buddy. He's getting better with age." Tony grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's in my purse," she said. "Daddy's old," Anya told the baby. "But Mom's ancient. Uncle Nick and Uncle Steve are pre-historic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Young lady, you will show you respect to people older than you. And your mother is still smoking hot after all these years. I always forget she's technically older than me. She loves that." Tony smiles.

"Your sister wasn't always so talkative, buddy. Daddy often had to bribe her just to say hello to Pepper and Rhodey when she was little. Then she turned six and wanted to talk to everyone.

About everything." Tony says.

	"Noted, but I'm going to remind you of the same thing the next time Uncle Steve and you get into an argument. Same thing with Uncle Nick." Yes, that was a wiseass grin on her face. "He's exaggerating. I started talking early and haven't stopped. To hear Mom tell it." She kissed Nick's cheek. "You're a great baby. When I have one, I want one just like you."

	Tony moves to pick up Eddie. "Okay, Buddy. Will you please ask your sister to give Daddy a few years to get used to her being married before she makes him a grandpa and you an uncle? Let's at least get you to the walking stage before we get into that." Tony says. "You're not pregnant right now, are you?" he asks suddenly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No," she said. "I have to finish school before kids. I'd also like to get a few years working under my belt before kids. I'm nineteen and barely an adult. Kids are years down the line."

She had expected the question when they announced the marriage, but had been surprised it didn't come.

"Besides, I'd like to give Mom and Bobbi a few years to get used to the idea of dealing with you and Clint being competing grandfathers before having kids."

	"Honey, what are you talking about? There's not going to be any competition." Tony says. "I'm going to be Fun Grandpa and Clint is going to be Rules Grandpa. It's really that simple." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dad, I know you and Clint. There will be competition. Mom and Bobbi are going to be the ones to enforce the rules. But it doesn't matter since it's a long ways away."

"How about the three of us go grab a bite to eat? It's been some time since it's been just the two of us and I don't mind this little guy coming along." Anya held a little hand and gave it a very little tug.

	"Better yet, why don't we order in? Your mother could be back any minute and she'll probably be hungry, too." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd rather go out if you don't mind," she said. "Just the three of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stark_ravingmad 2011-03-12 02:54 am UTC (link)
	"Sure, we can go out. No problem. I just have to get Eddie ready." Tony says, reaching for the little boy. "Wouldn't do to have the small man catch a cold or anything." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2011-03-12 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"I can do it," she said. "Mom would kill us if we let him get a cold." Anya planted a kiss on a chubby cheek. "Let's go get dressed to go out. Daddy's taking us out to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good idea, sweetie. I need to check some e-mails anyway." Tony says. It's mostly true, which is all he needs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll only need nine!" Tony says, going off to check e-mails and see if Fury had any leads on Temujin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're counting!" she called after him. Nick giggled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

None of the news Tony received was encouraging and he sighed. Temujin could be out there right now, planning to come after his daughter, and telling her would push her over the edge.

Not telling her was just as dangerous for other reasons, but Tony hoped to negate that by telling the people around Anya.

He grabs his coat and goes back to Anya and Eddie.

"How do you feel about a cheeseburger? I need one badly."
