The next morning, David arrives at 10am. He knocks on the door & Tony goes to open it. They hug & Tony brings him into the room.
"Hey, míja."
"Hi, dad." David comes over to her & kisses her cheek.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm good, dad. Tired but good. Meet your granddaughter." Tony wheels Sophia over to the bed.

David slowly & softly picks her up

David slowly & softly picks her up.
"Hi, Sophia. It's grandpa. You look just like your mom when she was a baby." He kisses her forehead.
"Ay míja. She's beautiful."
"I know. I can't stop staring at her."
"You two make beautiful babies", David says to Tony.
"Thank you. Can I get you anything?", Tony asks.
"No but I hope it's ok that I brought Angelina along."

"Dad, it's fine. You guys have been together awhile. She is practically family", Kristina says with a smile. Angelina walks in.
"Good morning. Can I come in?"
"Of course, come on in." Angelina walks over to David.
"Oh my goodness. What a beauty. How are you two doing?"
"Good. Tired", Kristina chuckles.
"I understand. Having & caring for children gets exhausting sometimes. May I hold her?"

"Sure", Kristina says. David hands her over & Angelina cradles her in her arms.
"I hope my daughter Maria has children but her work takes up so much time."
"What does she do?" Tony asks.
"She's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent."
"Wait a minute. Maria. As in, Maria Hill?", Kristina asks.

"That's her."
"No way. I had no idea. She never mentioned anything", Kristina states.
"It's a bit awkward for her. Still trying to get used to the idea that her father & I are divorced. She's an only child as well."
"I can understand that." Angelina places baby Sophia back into the hospital bassinet.

"How did you guys sleep?", David asks.
"Tony let me sleep while he took care of her."
"That's very sweet of you. How was your first night as a dad", Angelina asks.
"Very interesting. She fussed a bit but I sang to her, rocked her, fed her. I can't wait for more moments like these."
"Oh, you'll have them & cherish them", David replies.

Kristina's phone starts ringing & she answers.
"Hey Petey. You're on speaker."
"Do not call me that. You know I hated it every time you said it. How are you doing?" They both chuckle.
"I'm good. Tired but good."
"That's good at least. Sorry I didn't see your texts. I've been in the studio doing mixes but anyway congratulations to you & Tony. Genevieve sent me the photos. She's precious."
"Thank you", Tony & Kristina say in unison.

"It's time for you to have kids, Peter."
"I've been dating someone but it's pretty early to start talking about the future & babies, Mr. Ruiz", Peter laughs.
"Uh excuse me. You're dating & chose not to tell me."
"I'll be back in New York in a month. We can hang out & I'll tell you everything. Fair?"
"Fair."
"Alright well, I gotta get back to work. Congrats again. Bye."
"Thank you. Bye." They hang up.

Sophia starts fussing. David pick her up & brings her over to Kristina. Kristina rocks her & David snaps a quick photo of them.
"Looks like she's hungry. We will leave you to feed her", David says.
"Dad, you don't have to leave."
"I know but feeding time is parent time. We'll walk around & come back." He kisses her forehead & they walk out. Natasha is walking in when they leave.
