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.

Anya got lucky with the timing. She got back from her weekend of pampering and eyecandy with Toni just in time to make the family dinner. It would have been such a pain in the ass to go get a note from God and have it notarized by St. Peter to get out of going to the dinner.

Anya had on a simple black dress and a pair of heels along with modest jewelry. It wasn't a formal event, but nice enough to warrant putting a little effort into looks. At least there wouldn't be any bad news. They weren't going to Big Nick's.

Steve and she arrived a few minutes late of course. It was mandatory that she not be on time. They were shown to the private room and to the table. Each of her parents got a kiss on the cheek before she sat down next to Steve.

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)

	"Prince Dork made it," Anya grinned at her brother. "Steve, this is Lyta Worthington. Lyta, this is Steve Barton." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta stood up slightly, so she wasn't risking knocking anything over when she extended her hand. "Pleased to meet you." (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)

	"Sorry we're late," James said as he and Val entered the room. It was one of those days where he was just running late for everything. (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)

	"Think everybody knows who Val is," Steve reflected. "What with the famous family and all. But this guy," and he jerked a thumb towards James, "him, I think someone just picked up off the street for today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tony and I have some news of our own," Natasha said after all the kids were done with their status reports. "We know the sex of the baby and if you all want to know what it is we will tell you." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Is it a boy?" Okay now Eliza is leaning forward and has a very thinky look on her face. She is very pleased by the idea of a baby. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He really didn't care what sex the baby was, a baby was a baby, but he dutifully played along. "Twins." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Twins would be great," Eliza says brightly. "Of course that makes changing time a nightmare. It's why you should totally make a diaper robot for the baby." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I still maintain that Reed was instructing you how to change a diaper. With diagrams." Natasha smiled. "It's a boy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
