«—Mr. Stark, Captain Rogers is in the elevator."Let him in, JARVIS." Tony sighed exhaustedly while he patted Morgan's back a little.When Steve entered Tony's penthouse he was surprised to see it as a mess, but not the usual mess he had seen on previous occasions—beer cans scattered on the floor, pills and other substances on the table—but this one. The mess was made up of toys on the floor, a small baby playpen to one side, a crib next to Tony's bed, and Tony Stark himself looking completely exhausted, his hair messy and dark circles under his eyes, while in His arms rocked little Morgan.—Oh Captain, my Captain~.—He joked, smiling sideways as he looked at Steve, who smiled.—I wanted to come check on you."As gentlemanly as always." Tony yawned and sat on the couch with Morgan still in his arms. "The good news is that I've been sober for a week and a half." Steve smiled. That was the amount of time Tony had been out of the hospital. "The bad thing is..." Tony's look became sad and he sighed.—What's wrong?—Steve walked towards him.—I have received several calls from Pepper's family. "Besides they don't want me at the funeral...BUT STIL WILL LET ME GO BECAUSE OF MORGAN... I think they want to take custody of Morgan away from me." Steve gasped, looking at Tony in surprise, while Stark's gaze darkened. "You know... for having been unconscious for a while."

overdose while she was giving birth and all that...—Oh... jeez...—Steve cleared his throat.—Are they thinking of suing you?—When I spoke on the phone with Pepper's father he didn't mention that, he said, and I quote: that he wouldn't see that his granddaughter stayed with a dirty  addict... I know he has a point, but... —Tony exhaled and stroked Morgan's small head. —I really... I want to try...—He looked at Steve with teary eyes. —I know at first I said I didn't want to take care of Morgan, but... oh my God. ,Steve. I really want to try... Pepper named Rhodes as her godfather before she died—It took her a while to say those words, to say out loud that Pepper was dead—, and he's been a lot of help too...—She. He cleared his throat. "Let's change the subject: how are you and PETER?"Steve smirked.—We are all fine, thanks for asking. Right now he IS at home with  that Kid Harry...—An idea crossed Steve's mind.—What if tomorrow you bring Morgan so he can meet her?Tony looked at him surprised, and then seemed to think about it for a moment.—Do you think it's good? I mean, I haven't seen hIm in a week, I wouldn't blame hIm for being mad at me. And bringing in Morgan would probably only add salt to the wound.—Tony, you've been very busy, after all, you have a newborn. Believe me, THAT KID adoreS you. he'll be happy to see you, and it'll be nice for hIm to meet Morgan, after all...—Steve exhaled.—She's his little sister.Tony smiled.-OK. Tomorrow then."I'll ask Rhodes to make sure you take a shower before coming." They both laughed.—Thank you for coming to see me, Captain. Even though you don't have to take care of me anymore...—Tony pursed his lips.—I appreciate it.Steve, who wasn't one hundred percent sure why he had come to see Tony, simply smiled and nodded, before leaving.
