The Stark Tower buzzed with excitement as MJ and Peter walked into the living room, carrying Joey and Max. The twins were sound asleep, their tiny faces peeking out from soft blankets. The Avengers and the dynamic six had gathered to welcome the newest additions to the family, but it was clear who had been waiting the most eagerly.

Tony was already standing by the couch, practically vibrating with anticipation. “Alright, hand them over,” he said, his voice filled with mock sternness. “Grandpa’s turn.”

MJ chuckled, glancing at Peter. “Should we trust him with them?”

Peter smirked. “Not like we have a choice. He’s been staring at us since we walked in.”

Tony crossed his arms. “Hey, I built half the tech in this tower with one hand while holding a baby monitor in the other. I think I’ve got this.”

With a laugh, MJ carefully passed Joey to Tony. His demeanor shifted immediately, the usual bravado giving way to a tender smile as he cradled his grandson. “Well, hello there, little genius,” Tony murmured. “You don’t know it yet, but you’re going to inherit the coolest lab in the world someday.”

Steve, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow. “Tony, he’s a few hours old. Let him enjoy his blanket before you start planning his career.”

Tony grinned but didn’t look up. “Never too early to think ahead, Pops. You’ll see.”

Joey stirred slightly in Tony’s arms, letting out a tiny yawn. Tony’s eyes widened, and his grin softened. “Did you see that? He yawned! Kid’s already stealing hearts.”

Morgan leaned over to look at her baby nephew. “He’s so small,” she whispered. “I didn’t think babies could be this cute.”

“They take after their uncle,” Wade interjected with a wink.

“Uncle? Try grandpa,” Tony shot back, his voice dripping with mock superiority. “And no, they clearly take after me.”

Steve rolled his eyes, reaching out to gently stroke Joey’s head. “They take after their parents, Tony. Stop trying to steal all the credit.”

Peter, holding Max, laughed at their banter. “You guys can argue all you want. Meanwhile, I’m just glad I don’t have to change this little guy’s diaper right now.”

Tony chuckled. “Oh, trust me, Pete, I’ll leave the diaper duty to you. I’m here for the fun stuff—spoiling them rotten, teaching them how to program robots, and maybe sneaking them a few cookies when MJ isn’t looking.”

MJ narrowed her eyes playfully. “I heard that, Tony.”

Tony winked at her, then returned his attention to Joey. “You’re going to love it here, kid. Best family in the world, coolest grandpa ever, and all the tech you could ever dream of. Just wait.”

Joey stirred again, this time opening his tiny eyes for a moment. The room fell silent, everyone captivated by the sight.

“Well, would you look at that,” Tony whispered. “He’s a Stark, through and through.”

Steve placed a hand on Tony’s shoulder, his smile warm. “You’re doing a good job, Tony. They’re lucky to have you.”

Tony’s voice softened, a rare vulnerability showing through. “Nah, I’m the lucky one. This... this is what it’s all about.”

Morgan cleared her throat, breaking the moment. “Okay, Grandpa Stark, you’ve had your turn. Can I hold Max now?”

Peter laughed, nodding. “Sure thing, Morgan. But one at a time—these little guys aren’t ready for all this chaos just yet.”
