Aaliyah, Abigail and Tony were in the workshop, it had been two weeks since Adam Cohen's funeral and Aaliyah was coping a lot better.

"Dad, have you slept at all in the last 72 hours?" Abigail asked Tony. "No, just coffee." Tony replied, Aaliyah and Abigail looked at each other, and then back at Tony who was injecting himself with something.

"Ow!" Tony exclaimed causing Aaliyah to chuckle, Tony gave her the evil eye to which she grinned at. "Sir, may I request a few hours to calibrate-" JARVIS didn't even get to ask before he was interrupted.

"No. Forty-eight." Tony was counting the injections he'd given himself. "Micro-repeater implanting sequence complete." said Tony when he'd finished. "As you wish, sir. I've also prepared a safety briefing for you to entirely ignore." said JARVIS.

"Which he will." said Abigail, grinning at her father. "Right, let's do this." said Tony, before turning towards DUM-E. "Hi, DUM-E, how did you get that cap on your head. Oh you earned it that's right." said Tony, DUM-E then looked down sad at what Tony was saying.

"Hey. Hey! What are you doing round in the corner? You know what you did. Blood on my mat, handle it." Tony orders DUM-E as he walked towards the robot, Abigail glanced up at her mother who was standing behind her with her arms wrapped around her daughter protectively, in case something went wrong, Aaliyah could spin around and keep Abigail safe.

Tony addresses the Iron Suits along with his best friend and her daughter. "Focus up, ladies. Good evening, and welcome to the birthing suite. I'm pleased to announce the imminent arrival of your bouncing, bad-ass, baby brother." Abigail and Aaliyah smiled in amusement at that.

"Start tight and go wide, stamp in time. Mark 42 autonomous prehensile propulsion suit test. Initialize sequence." said Tony to the camera that JARVIS was recording on. "42?" questioned Abigail.

Tony shot Abigail a smirk and then raised his hands activating the new suit. "JARVIS, drop my needle." JARVIS drops the stylus on Tony's record player and Jingle Bells starts playing, Aaliyah let Abigail and spun her around and took her hands.

The mother and daughter started dancing the Christmas music and Tony signaled to JARVIS to record it for fun, when the faceplate went flying around the workshop which Abigail noticed and told her mother, the two threw themselves to the floor, with Aaliyah covering Abigail's body with her own, while Tony managed to get the faceplate to complete the armour.

Realising that the problem was over Aaliyah and Abigail stood up and smoothed out their clothes, one of the stray pieces of the suit shoot over to Tony, knock him down, which knocks the entire suit, except for the head piece, off Tony.

Tony removes the helmet, while Aaliyah and Abigail are laughing at Tony's misfortune, who rolled his eyes and starts chasing Abigail who jumps onto the benches and jumps over other things scattered around the lab, Aaliyah leaned against one of the workbenches watching the heartwarming scene unfold.
