2 Years Later

"Slow down, slow down! I'm totally not kidding."

Central Park, just on the outskirts of the inner city of New York, was bustling with people in early afternoon. Families out for walks, couples relaxing and having picnics, plenty of bike riders and joggers thrown about. Among them were Aaliyah Cohen and her fiancé, Tony Stark, jogging side by side through the crowds of people as Aaliyah laughed at Tony's constant rambling.

"You're totally rambling."

"I'm not-"

"You've lost me-"

Tony placed a hand on her shoulder, bringing them to a stop in the middle of the park as Aaliyah turned to look back at him. "Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee?"

Aaliyah frowned, confusion written all over her face. "...Yes?"

"Okay, and then you're like, "Oh my god, there's no bathroom, what am I gonna do?" "Oh! Someone's watching." "I'm gonna go in my pants"."

"Right. And then you wake up, and in real life you actually have to pee."

"Yes."

"Yeah, everybody has that." said Aaliyah.

"Right! That's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night, I dreamt, we had a kid. So real. We named him after your eccentric uncle. Uh, what was his name?"

"Uncle Noah wasn't eccentric."

"Not your Mom's brother, your Dad's brother."

"Samuel," said Aaliyah in response, she looked at Tony finally understanding where he was going with this. "So you woke up thinking we were expecting, two years after Isabella was born. You just want as many kids as possible at this point."

"Exactly," said Tony, staring at Aaliyah hopeful. "Are we?"

"No and as much as I want to say yes, I can't because my pregnancy with Izzy was considered high risk because I was thirty six, if I was pregnant this pregnancy would be considered geriatric too."

Aaliyah grabbed Tony's hand as the two started walking along the pavement before them. "If you wanted to have another kid, you wouldn't have done that." said Aaliyah, she tapped the chest attachment.

"I'm glad you brought this up, 'cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nano particles. Little like that necklace hanging around your neck." said Tony, his index finger tapped the arc reactor shaped pendent hanging around Aaliyah's neck.

"Alright, fair enough but it's not helping your case." said Aaliyah.

"Come on, Izzy would love a younger sibling to tease, like Abby does with her."

"I can't believe she's turning ten soon."

"Abby's turning ten?"

"I know, where did the time go?"
