His Armored Heart

Chapter Twenty Two

The following evening, Tony stood in the small mainland airport with Bree, waiting for May and Peter to arrive. "They should be getting off the plane any minute."

"I hope I recognize her. It's been a while since we've seen each other," Bree commented as she held onto Tony's hand.

"It should be easy, just look for a woman and a young boy." Tony chuckled.

Bree rolled her eyes just as she spotted a brunette young woman walking through with a young boy in one arm and her suitcase in her other hand, rolling behind her. "May?"

"Bree?" May responded happily. "It's so good to see you!" She said as she hurried over to them.

Bree wrapped May into a side hug, noticing Peter was asleep. "It's good to see you too. I hope the flight was okay?"

"Oh yes, everything went fine. Mr. Stark made sure we were offered every possible comfort." May chuckled.

"Tony's like that," Bree praised. "I think he put you guys in the villa that's next to ours, right babe?" she turned to look at Tony and squeezed his hand gently.

"That's right. I also made reservations for a nice dinner, here on the mainland first." Tony answered.

Bree looked at him with a smile. "I didn't know you did that."

"It was last minute, but I didn't think you'd mind." Tony replied.

"I don't," Bree smiled, then looked over at May. "Do we need to get your bags?"

"I just have one suitcase." May answered.

"I will go get it." Tony added, knowing that would be Bree's next question.

Bree quickly stole a kiss from Tony. "Thank you," she murmured, then watched him walk away.

"I was shocked when you told me about this, but I'm so happy for you." May told Bree. "Is he good to you?"

"He's the best man I've ever been with," she answered honestly. "I don't see myself with anyone else."

May grinned widely. "That's good. That's what you deserve, after all that you've been through."

Bree blushed. "Oh I'm afraid you don't know everything I've been through since we last talked... unless you saw me on the news somehow."

"I know enough of it." May admitted, but she dropped it when she saw Tony returning. "Let's save that for another time though. You know I'm always here for you, but this is supposed to be a happy occasion."

Feeling Tony place his hand on the small of her back, Bree grinned. "Very happy."

"Should we go to dinner from here?" Tony asked Bree and May. "Or does he need to go to the villa and sleep?" He asked, referring to Peter.

"Oh, I'll wake him up in a bit. If he sleeps too much longer, he won't sleep at night," May explained.

"I have a car waiting outside for us." Tony said. He took Bree's hand in his free hand, then led the way, pulling May's suitcase along with them.

Bree and May got into the waiting car once they got outside, while Tony put the suitcase in the trunk, then climbed in. "Which restaurant are we going to?" Bree asked as she looked over and watched as Peter slowly began to wake up.

"Do you remember the place that delivered the dinner to us? We are going there." Tony answered. "It is locally named, so I don't know how to pronounce it."

"Oh! They have great food," Bree said happily.

Peter rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Where are we?"

"We are off of the plane now sweetie. Do you want to meet Mr. Stark?" May asked Peter.
