Aaliyah didn't realise that Emma was still at the mansion until they got back, Aaliyah sent her cousin back to work. "Before I go, come with me." she said, Emma led Tony and Aaliyah to baby Abby's room, where all the life support equipment was gone and all that was left was a cot, a box in the corner with baby Abby's toys, the framed photos of Abigail herself, Aaliyah and Tony.
Aaliyah gasped softly at the lightly painted pink walls and she looked around the room in amazement. "You organised this?" she asked her cousin, Emma just shook her head and gestured to Tony, who was more focused on Abigail, sleeping in his arms.
The woman just smiled at her friend and stood next to her cousin, "you gonna tell him?" Emma asked. Aaliyah smiled thoughtfully, "not just yet." she said watching as Tony placed the sleeping baby in her cot.
"Right, down to the workshop, shall we?" Tony asked, he tried not to show his more emotive side but when Abigail came into it, lets just saying the hiding of emotions became just a bit more difficult to do.
Tony walked out the room, Aaliyah and Emma shared a look, "back to work with you." Aaliyah said, Emma didn't argue, she just walked out, JARVIS would monitor baby Abby and inform Aaliyah and Tony if she needed anything.

Aaliyah and Tony were working in silence, Aaliyah had a question but she didn't want to ask it until she knew what they were and what they were going to become.
"Do you ever think of the gala, how you and I were on the balcony and James showed up and you left?" Tony asked.
"I do." said Aaliyah, Tony raised an eyebrow, which Aaliyah noticed "what?" she asked. "Keep talking." Tony said, he knew when Aaliyah was holding back.
"I keep thinking maybe, I should've kissed you then and there, because at least then you would know I was fully serious about being in love with you, even after we kissed in the workshop last year, I was never fully sure if you knew." said Aaliyah.
Tony smiled "I knew, I think since the gala." he said.
"My Dad knows, too, he kept telling me he'll die a happy man when I break up with James." said Aaliyah, Tony smiled slightly, "that sounds like Adam."
Aaliyah swallowed thickly. "Hey, Emma said he was alright, remember?" Tony reminds her, Aaliyah nodded her head but it was a little difficult to believe him.
The two were standing, staring into each other's eyes, and something inside Tony sparked, he leaned down and kissed Aaliyah who didn't pull back, not at first, but then she did and placed a hand on Tony's chest.
"Tony, lets not get ahead of ourselves here, I did murder my fiancé a year ago." Aaliyah reminded him.
"Two things, one it was a year ago, two it wasn't murder it was technically self defence." Tony replied.
