"Mooooooooom! Dad's making faces again!" came a very loud shout from the living room of the tower.

Tony made his way from where he was sitting in the kitchen working on some stuff for SI to the living room. There sitting on the floor was Thor with his hair covered in coloured berets and ponytail holders while their 8-year-old daughter Maria giggled nearby. Tony just shook his head and made his way to the couch near his mate and child. He was heavily pregnant with twin boys and was just generally tired. Although, Tony couldn't really complain. This pregnancy was a walk in the park compared to when he had Maria. Tony was excited for the twins to arrive. He was having identical boys that they were going to name Sven and Lucas. Maria was excited at the prospect of being a big sister.

From where Tony was sitting he could see Thor giving him a stupid dopey smile. Thor had turned out to be an excellent parent. He doted on Maria and supported her as she showed to have inherited Tony's intellect. She was one smart cookie. Just like her mother, Maria loved causing explosions. Hers were just more of the vinegar and baking soda variety.

After Maria had turned 2, Tony had returned to being Iron Man. He would have gone back sooner, but he'd had some complications with his heart. He was all better now, but it had scared Thor shitless. Once Tony was back with the team, Thor made sure that he was respected on the field. In the past few years, they had actually managed to eradicate HYDRA to the best of their knowledge as well as continue to fight this guy who called himself Doctor Doom. He was more of a nuisance than anything. 8 months ago he'd decided that New York needed giant robot bunnies for some reason. So yeah, nobody really liked him. Clint thought he was funny though.

Bucky and Loki had had their baby not too long after Tony had had Maria. Bucky had given birth to a sweet baby boy they named Bowie. The kid had Loki's dark black hair mixed with Bucky's blue eyes. Bowie and Maria were really close. They did almost everything together. They were only five months apart as Bowie was born premature. He was perfectly healthy now, but he was so small when he was born that everyone was afraid to touch him. Because the kids were so close in age they shared everything. They were even in the same class in school. Both sets of parents were excited to find out what they would be god and goddess of, but that wasn't until they turned 16. Until then they just laughed and learned all they could.

"Mommy, what's for dinner?" asked Maria as she got up off the floor and walked over to Tony.

"I'm not sure Bambina, you'll have to wait and ask Uncle Bruce when he gets back from the lab." Maria just nodded and ran off to her room to go play with her toys Frigga and Odin had sent from Asgard. That was when Thor walked over and pulled his mate close to him.

"How are you feeling my darling, Anthony?"

"Tired, but that's not new." Thor just smiled and placed his hands on Tony's baby bump.

"Our boys will be here soon, then you and I will be tired for a whole different reason."

Tony and Thor spent the rest of the afternoon cuddled together on the couch and talking. At one point Maria had come back with Bowie in tow to watch a movie. Tony put on Moana and waited for the rest of the pack to join them. Loki and Bucky came in a few minutes into the film. Bucky had just finished a heat a few days earlier and was still sort of out of it.

Clint and Natasha were next to join the group. Clint and Tony had learned to get along quite well over the years. He often joined him, Loki, and Bucky in pranking the others. Natasha still wasn't fond of Tony. They had some sort of unspoken agreement to just let each other be and to have each other's back in battle. It worked out enough.

Bruce was up next. He said hi to everyone before heading to the kitchen to make dinner for the pack. They had a cooking schedule and it was Bruce's turn. Steve was the last to join in. He was coming back from a jog and everyone yelled at him that he smelt like wet dog. Tony and Steve had become sort of friends after Maria was born. After having a talk with Bucky, Steve finally pulled his head out of his ass when it came to Omegas and Tony. Steve ended up apologizing for all the horrible things he'd said to Tony and the two started a tentative friendship. They still fought from time to time, but the hurtful words and prejudice were no longer present.

Speaking of Omegas, there was still a long way to go when it came to Omega rights on Earth. However, Tony and Thor had been making improvements. After a huge fight with the UN that needed fucking Odin to intervein, Omegas no longer had to give up all their assets once they were mated. It was a small step, but a step forward none the less.

All in all, Tony was happy with how his life had turned out. Never would he have thought that becoming mated to the God of Thunder would lead his life in the direction it had. He never thought that he would become the God of Innovation, Metal, and Fire. He never thought that he would ever get to have children. Tony wouldn't trade Maria and his unborn children for the world.

Actually, things had turned out good. Tony was happy. The happiest he'd been in a very long time. After the years of abuse growing up, Tony was glad he had the family he always wanted. Tony turned in his seat to curl up closer to Thor on the couch. And as the credits on the movie began to roll, Tony couldn't help but smile. He was alright, and everything else would be alright too.

Well, friends, that's a wrap. Thank you all so much for joining me on this wild ride. Thank you for all the love and support you've shown and I am truly grateful.
