Natasha called each of the kids, the Avengers, Rhodey and Pepper to let them all know Tony woke up for a brief period and was coherent enough to have a short conversation.

It had been something that had been lingering in the back of her mind since they had mentioned it back in December. It had been a matter of waiting for the weather to get warm and for life to calm down. Strangely enough both managed to happen at the same time. Small miracles.

Time with her husband had to be scheduled, not that she ever minded. It was easy as calling Pepper and telling her that Natasha needed some quality time with her husband. Pepper was usually happy to oblige. The two women knew how much of a workaholic Anthony Stark really was and on occasion they plotted against him. Two weeks ago Pepper had cleared Tony's schedule for today from noon on and of course didn't tell him. Tasha was planning to kidnap her husband for the afternoon.

At eleven fifty five she was walking into Tony's office.

Anya loved the relationship she had with her father. There was nothing she couldn't talk to him about and Dad would always listen to what she had to say. In a way he was like a best friend rather than a parent. He was always there when it really mattered, he talked to her instead of at or down at her, and at times he was like a partner in crime. Anya never understood exactly what her classmates were talking about when they described problems with their parents. Sure she had issues with her parents at times, mostly with her mother, but she knew she could always talk to her parents about issues.

Despite knowing she could always talk to Dad, she was nervous about this subject for some reason. It was probably because it was one of those big turning points in her life. She wasn't sure if she was ready for it or not.

Anya looked at the forms in her hand and sighed. It was time to bite the bullet and go find Dad. There was no putting this off any longer.
