prologue

𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵: 289

anthony edward stark, son of howard and maria stark. the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. no one would've guessed that the word 'father' would be added as one of the many things to describe him. not even tony himself.

however, that soon changed when he got a call. his wife, giulia lucia-stark, had arrived in the hospital, in labor, yelling at the nurses that the father was none other than tony stark. unfortunately, she didn't make it past childbirth and the baby was left in no other than tony's hands.

he didn't believe it at first, thinking it to be a prank. his wife had died and left his child in his care when tony could barely take care of himself. but something inside him knew it was what he needed to do. this was his purpose.

he didn't know how to be a father, much less know how to act like one. his father wasn't even a father. but he always told himself that he'd be better than him.

how was he supposed to be better when he was a stupid drunk, mourning the loss of his wife. but as people say, once you become a parent and hold that baby for the first time, it all comes to you. be a better person, and suddenly want to be a better person.

that doesn't always come for everyone. tony didn't think it'd come to him. but once he arrived at the hospital and held his baby in his arms... he knew.

from that day on, he vowed to be the best father possible. not give his child the life he had to endure.

that's where the story began, the birth of a baby girl: elizabeth maria lucia-stark.
