It's the last chapter! I can't believe it! I hope you enjoyed this fic. This is a shorter chapter but I feel it wraps up things nicely. I'll see you at the end. Also happy (or really not so happy) one year anniversary of Endgame coming out. The only good things to come out of that movie were Morgan, Peter and the others coming back, and Scott being funny but also smart because he needs love too.


7 Months Later

The room was quiet save for the sound of the heart monitor and the hum of an IV infuser. Pepper was getting some much-needed sleep after going through 20 hours of labour and another 3 hours of visitors and doctors visits after that. Tony sat at her side with their infant daughter safely sleeping in his arms. He could hardly keep his eyes off of her. Morgan was the perfect mix of him and Pepper. She was so small and so perfect. He just couldn't believe it.

Peter, Harley, and Laura had been in not too long ago. They were all excited to meet their baby sister. Laura had all but climbed onto the bed with Pepper to see and hold Morgan. It made Tony and Pepper laugh a bit. She was going to make a fantastic big sister.

Harley had been excited as well. He'd brought Morgan a little teddy bear to have and gave her a little kiss. This wasn't his first time dealing with a baby so he knew what he was doing. Well… to a degree. He'd been pretty little when Laura was born. But, Harley was still excited about the baby.

Peter had been a little more reserved when he came to meet Morgan. The entire time Pepper was pregnant he'd kept his distance a bit. He was terrified of hurting her because of his super strength. And that still held true now that Morgan was born. Peter only held Morgan when she was also being supported by Tony or Pepper. Nobody really blamed him. He'd never been around a baby before and they knew he'd get more comfortable with time. He just loved baby Morgan very much and didn't want to hurt her.

All three kids had been amazing throughout Pepper's pregnancy once she told them. They were so helpful while Tony was still recovering. Peter did all the heavy lifting, Harley did the dishes when asked, al Laura went baby crazy and just helped with anything and everything baby related. Having the kids help out gave Tony and Pepper the opportunity to relax as much as possible. But, once Tony was given the go-ahead from the doctor he was up and about making sure Pepper was doing alright and that things were set up for the baby.

When they found out they were having a little girl everyone was excited. Tony had to stop Laura from going overboard with all the dolls and pink. Pepper thought it was funny. Picking a name was easy. Morgan Holly Stark. A perfect name for a perfect little girl. Everybody loved her.

Tony was pulled out of his thoughts as Morgan began fussing a bit in his arms. He held her even closer and rocked her a bit to help calm her down. He wanted Pepper to get some more sleep before waking up to feel the baby. As Tony held his daughter he started talking a little bit and that seemed to calm her.

"You have no idea how lucky you are Morgan. You've got the best mommy in the words. Two big brothers and a big sister who love you very much. You've got a dad who is going to smother you in affection. You're already so loved little miss. So… so loved." Whispered Tony with a small smile on his face.

Morgan just looked up at Tony with her big beautiful eyes. Tony was certain that they'd darken to his colouring as she got older. He just knew it. God, she was so perfect. And she was all his. It was moments like this one where Tony thought back to all the changes that had happened in his life. All the pain and doubts that lead to this. Tony could hardly believe that becoming Iron Man had lead to him becoming a father. That chasing The Mandarin had given Tony Harley and Laura. That looking for new heroes had given him Peter. That fighting alongside Pepper had gotten them married and given him Morgan.

Tony remembered that at the beginning of his journey into parenthood he had so many doubts. His own father had been a right piece of shit. He'd been terrified that he'd turn out just like him. He knew he had to be there for Harley and Laura, but he was terrified of fucking them up. But then he found his rhythm. He had Pepper by his side. He'd found Peter and brought him into the fold. Sure, there were horrible moments like the whole Winter Soldier thing with Steve, his vision in that bunker, and of course the fight with Thanos. It was moments like those that made Tony question everything.

But with Pepper sleeping soundly, Morgan in his arms, and his older kids safe at home, Tony knew that he'd made the right decisions in the end. He had a family of his own. His own happy ending. He couldn't be happier.


Well, that's the fic. I hope you all enjoyed it. I like writing Tony as a parent. Which is why I'm doing it again in my new fic coming soon. It'll be Thunderiron so keep an eye open for it. Well, thank you for reading. Drop a comment if you feel so inclined. I like seeing your feedback. I know this wasn't one of my best pieces but given the current situation, it's understandable. I'll see you all soon for my new fic. Thanks for reading! -Shadows
