"Okay Tony, I'm heading out soon!"
Holding your overnight bag in one hand and the hand of your four-year-old in the other, you walked into your husband's lab.
"Hmm? Oh hello, my lovely ladies. Is your girls' night this weekend already, hun?" Tony straightened up from tweaking a new design.
"Yes, dear, it is. Amelia's ready for some daddy-daughter time, right sweetheart?"
"Yeah! We can watch princess movies! Right, Daddy?"
"Of course we can, pumpkin." He gave her a kiss on the top of her head. Turning to you, he smirked. "Now young lady, don't get into too much trouble! You know how rowdy those Avengers ladies can be! Remember: if it will get your name in the papers, don't do it!"
You rolled your eyes. "You know, my name's in the papers a lot, and it's always a good reason, Mr. Stark. Are you saying I shouldn't save anyone, given the chance? What if they need my help?"
"You just have to make me sound like an idiot, don't you?"
"It's my job, dear." You gave Tony a kiss on the cheek before bending down to say goodbye to Amelia. "Okay, sweety, you'll be good for your daddy, yes?"
"Yes, mommy. Can Uncle Steve and Uncle Bucky and Uncle Bruce play princesses with us?" Amelia clasped her hands and jumped up and down.
"I'm sure they would all love to do that with you, darling! Maybe you could even have a tea party?"
Sometimes you thought her voice could break glass - this was one of those times. "YEAH!"
Cringing, you gave her a hug before you said one last goodbye. You turned back to Tony and smiled.
"Are you really only going to give me a kiss on the cheek?"
"Well since you asked so nicely..." You pressed your lips against Tony's, smiling as Amelia whined about her parents being disgusting. You pulled away and walked out of the lab to meet Natasha and Wanda in the lobby.
"So kiddo, what should we do first?"
A few hours later and Amelia had somehow convinced all of her uncles and father to have a tea party with her. Of course, they all had to dress up as princesses; Amelia had done everyone's makeup and chosen outfits complete with crowns for each man in attendance - she had even done Thor and Bucky's hair. Unable to resist the powers of a four-year-old girl, they spent hours having "tea" (juice) and "biscuits" (oreos), along with discussing Amelia's daily adventures and how she wanted to be Iron Girl (so she could be like daddy, of course).
Eventually Amelia grew bored of the tea party and insisted they begin their movie marathon. She wedged herself in between Bucky and Steve and was determined to watch both Mulan and Mulan 2, even though she knew her bedtime was drawing near. With everyone engrossed in the film, Amelia was having the time of her life. Soon though, she began to yawn and her eyes drooped. Before she knew it, she was slumped over Bucky's lap. Carefully, he adjusted her so she would be more comfortable..
When the movie was over, Tony picked Amelia up and left to put his baby girl to bed while the boys started Mulan 2 (what could they say? they were absolutely engrossed). After carefully placing Amelia in bed, he kissed her forehead and silently retreated. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a small voice.
"Daddy?"
He turned back around to see Amelia sucking her thumb - something she really wasn't supposed to do anymore (and something she did when she a) missed her mommy, b) missed her daddy, or c) was trying to look cute).
"Yes, peanut?"
"Um... nevermind. It's okay."
"It's okay, 'Melia, you can tell me." Tony walked back to her bed and sad down beside it so he could be on her level.
She got a pitiful look on her face as she toyed with the edge of her bed sheet. "I miss mommy," she sniffled.
"Oh sweetheart, it's okay; I miss her, too." He took one of her little hands in his and used his other to run his fingers through her hair. "She'll be back tomorrow though, so just think - this is the only sleep without her. That's not so bad, is it?" She shook her head and smiled.
"Would you stay in here tonight, daddy?"
"I think I may have a better idea... How about you stay with me in me and Mommy's room?"
She nodded. Tony picked her up and they headed to the master bedroom where they slept soundly for the rest of the night.
When you got back the next morning, you came into the room to find them still sound asleep. You kicked off your shoes and slid into bed, careful not to disturb your family. You smiled - nights out with your girlfriends were always fun, but there was nothing like a morning spent with your beautiful little family.
