"Hey Barnes how was your birthday?" Nat asks handing him the newspaper, "Didn't celebrate and wasn't going to with Maddie upset" grabbing a mug filling it to the brim with coffee. "Wait you two didn't celebrate?"

"Nope, she told me to live at my place and I came over to talk to her because I think its bullshit to not be living with my pregnant girlfriend off of something that we don't know the answer too. Anyways I went to her and she eating some string cheese on the couch in her pajamas and I tried talking to her but she got upset and started crying and told me to leave. She said she 'wanted to run but that she made a promise to herself not to' so she asked me to leave I tried to stay but she kept telling me to leave"

"Oh...sounds like a shitty birthday" looking down at her coffee tapping her fingers on the mug. "Wasn't shitty, she came over last night and woke me up because the baby started kicking, so that was my birthday present and nothing else would've topped being able to feel my baby for the first time. She stayed the night but when I woke up this morning she was gone and F.R.I.D.A.Y. told me she was at her place taking a shower." sipping his coffee "WAIT she started kicking?" Tony jumps from the couch "Ya, it was so amazing. Like I know she in there but I've never got to feel her. Yes, its through Maddie but it makes it feel so real like we are really getting close to finally met her" smiling thinking about last night.

Tony running out of the room to the elevator "Why are you running?"

"I got something to do" stepping into the elevator slamming the button to Maddie floor. Rapidly tapping his knuckles on the door. Swinging the door open a little irritated from the knocks "What?!"

"I want to feel my granddaughter kick" Maddie taken back a little laughing at him "Okay fine let me get some clothes on I don't have anything on under this robe." Nodding his head taking a seat on her couch looking at Alpine cleaning herself. Walking out a few minutes later in sweatpants and a tank top with her lower belly sticking out.

Sitting down on the couch "Your lucky she woke up at the end of my shower you might get lucky" Taking one of Tony hand placing it on her bump in the area she last felt the kick. "So how is the new building coming along?"

"Good should be ready in two weeks, there was delay because of the weather"

"Ya that snow storm kicked our asses"

"It sure did" looking up at Maddie then back to the bump. Maddie taking his hand moving it down further "I felt a small one right here so lets see if she kicks again" both of the quiet only hearing the sound of Alpine bell on her collar. Feeling the kick on his finger tips "I felt it!" he smiles "Were you like this with Pepper when she was pregnant?"

"Oh I was so much worse, I made this bracelet for her that was able to record all of Morgan kicks and where she kicked that way at night when we were laying in bed I had a better idea on where to put my hand to feel her kick" rolling your eyes "You are insane"

"Yes but also I'm a billionaire so I think it makes up for it.....You know Barnes is very excited about being able to feel her" looking back up to Maddie "Ya I know"

"Do you though, he had the biggest smile on his face talking about how amazing it felt to feel her and knowing its getting closer for her to come and for him to see her...do you really want to take that away from him?" watching her eyes drop to the floor not wanting to look at him. "He needs to be there for Cole"

"He needs to be here for her as well and we don't even know if Cole is really Barnes, and there is no way you are going to be able to keep him away from her, her loves the hell out of her and hasn't even seen her yet"

"Cole needs a dad who is there for him all the time"

"And she doesn't? I know I took you in as my own but this is going to be my grand daughter I already got my hands full with Peter, Morgan, you, and the troubling Asgard sisters. If Barnes is his dad he is going to be there for both of them"
