A/N: post infinity war, tony and pepper had a daughter, peter is away at college, tony no longer lives at the compound, and tony no longer wears the armor
Tony was beyond exhausted. Pepper had been out of the country for a huge conference for SI, which meant tony was on fully Babysitting Watch for their 4 year old daughter Morgan. Tony loved his daughter to death but she had too much energy. Anytime tony attempted to rest his eyes, Morgan would scream "Daddy" at the top of her lungs, causing tony to wake up. Tony would just sigh and walk over to his daughter and play whatever game she would want to play.
On the day before pepper was coming back her conference, tony was in the kitchen making Morgan lunch while drinking his 5th coffee of the day. Morgan was in the other room watching cartoons. Tony felt his phone vibrate he glanced and saw a similar photo id and answered immediately.
"Hey Pete, how's classes?"
"Hey Tony, they're going good. How is it going with Mo?"
"She's got so much energy I don't know how pepper does it when I'm away I've literally only watched Morgan for less than a week and I haven't got more than 8 hours of sleep."
"Tony she's 4 if you're that tired tell no if she wants to play, make her rest too"
"I can't say no to her anytime I try she gives the puppy dog eyes you use to give me"
"Tony you're her dad, she may be disappointed that you don't want to play at the moment, but she'll get over it. You need to be the adult"
"I just don't want her hating me"
"Tony Mo adores you and so do I you are not Howard, you are a much better father than he ever was"
"Thanks Pete that means a lot."
"No problem tony but the main reason I was calling was letting you know I was back in New York for the weekend"
"Oh that great Pete, you staying with may?"
"Yeah was planning on it but now I may come by and give you a hand"
"Really? Is may ok with it?"
"She's fine with it I'm planning on having dinner with her before I go back Monday"
"Ok Pete I'll see you in a bit"
"See you"
Tony placed his phone on the counter and glanced out into the other room Morgan was now playing with her dolls.
Tony walked into the room and scooped up Morgan in his arms
"Baby I got your lunch ready for you" tony said smiling at his daughter
She giggled and bounced making lunch an almost impossible task.
"Mo you got to finish your lunch otherwise I can tell you who's coming by?"
Morgan almost at once calmed down and nodded and let her dad father finish eating.
Once done tony lifted Morgan out of her high chair and carried her in to the living room and sat her with her toys.
"is mommy commin' Home?"
"No baby she should be home tomorrow" tony answered putting a on a random Disney movie
"Unce Rhode?" she asked crawling into Tony's lap.
"No baby uncle Rhodey is with the rest of the avengers, he'll be by next week he said."
"Then who, daddy?" Morgan asked smiling at tony
Tony was about to answer when the door opened and peter walked in smiling.
"PETEY" Morgan screamed jumping off Tony's lap and ran and hugged peter.
"Hey Mo, I missed you too" peter said giggling, Peter then lifted Morgan into his arms and walked towards tony.
"Petey it's not as fun with my brother away" Morgan said cuddling into peter
Peter said on the couch next to tony and looked at Morgan.
"Mo one day you start school and love it and you'll understand why I am gone but even when I'm at school you can talk to me just ask dad to call me and I'll be happy to talk to my favorite sister" peter said smiling
Tony smiled at his kids. Peter was great with Morgan.
Peter catch tony eyes and he could see how exhausted the man was. Peter got an idea
"Hey Mo why don't we make your mom a pretty drawling to show her how much you missed her" peter asked grinning.
Morgan nodded and jumped off his lap and ran out of the room.
"Friday keep an eye on her" tony said tiredly
"I have her in my sights boss" Friday responded
Peter turned to tony "you seemed like you need a break"
"Thanks Pete it means a lot that you came here" tony said pulling peter into a quick hug.
"I'll always be there to help tony and of course I missed you guys college is great doesn't mean I don't miss you guys" peter said shrugging
"I'm always free to talk you know that Pete" tony said tiredly
"I know tony thanks for that but now it's time to listen to me and take a nap you look awful." Peter said honestly
"Thanks for the boost of confidence Pete" tony quipped
"Shush tony get some sleep ill watch her she's in good hands" peter said smiling.
Morgan came back into the room with paper and markers and peter watched her start colors gave her a few ideas.
Tony nodded and laid back on the couch and closed his eyes and relaxed
Peter made sure to tell her to be quiet because he dad was taking a nap.
Peter's eyes drifted from his phone from the TV to Morgan over the next five minutes; when he felt a bit of weight on his arm. Peter glanced down and saw tony lightly snoring on his shoulder. Peter grinned at all the memories of himself falling asleep on tony over the years was about time tony repaid the favor. Peter remembered tony always played with his curls while helping him sleep. Worth a shot peter thought as he pulled a hand through Tony's hair. Tony leaned into the touch and peter smiled. They were too similar.
Morgan walked over to peter and show him her drawling. She hoped up on the couch in the other side of Peter.
"That's beautiful Mo your mom will love it" peter whispered to her
"Daddy was really tired wasn't he?" Morgan asked
"Yeah Mo you got a lot of energy he wants to keep you happy" peter replied
"Well he should sleep too" Morgan replied
"well you got to take naps I know you are used to your mom and dad being with you so always being able to play with someone, but when it just you dad he can only do so much" peter said grinning
"Yeah I just don't want daddy to go away again" Morgan said sadly
"Mo Daddy not going anywhere he loves you too much for that, I promise you that" peter said smiling
"Good" Morgan said smiling
"Mo how bout we try to nap like dad after we nap we can play hide and seek. Deal?" peter asked with a raised eyebrow
"Deal" Morgan said grabbing her doll and curling in peters side. Peter smiled and glanced at Tony's sleeping form before shutting his eyes.
