-Three Months Later-

-Robert's POV-

Today's the day.

The day we put the finishing touches on Iron Man Three and send it off to the editors for the finishing touches. Alyssa is now seven months along with babies A and B. We still haven't decided on names and to be honest we haven't even had time to think about them. The past few months have been full of shooting the movie, doctors appointments, wedding planning, not to mention breaking my ankle and delaying the whole recording process. That was an extremely stressful month for me and Alyssa. The stress was on me the most because I couldn't help her with groceries or cooking like I normally do. She had to go to work and she would come home exhausted and pissy for the most part and I couldn't do anything to help her. For the past month her mood swings have calmed down and she only explodes every so often. Tonight I plan on taking her to a coffee shop that is similar to the one we used to go to when I was still teaching and she was my student. I just want to have some time to relax and talk with the most beautiful women in the world. We talked about our wedding and we decided to have it in May. We want to have our son and daughter beforehand so we can have them apart of the wedding and Alyssa also said that she didn't want to get married while she was at risk of going into labor during the ceremony. We're having the wedding back in Arkansas where all of our family and some of our friends live. We still need to work on where and the exact time but for the most part were prepared. Now enough with me rambling on. It's my lunch break and I'm on my way over to Alyssa's office so I can take her to lunch. I came into her office to find her silently crying with her phone in her hands. I run over to her and ask her what's wrong but she simply hands me her phone. It's open to text messages between her and her mom. Her mom finally responded to her message about the baby's. She said:

< Hello Alyssa, this is your mother. I've pondered on the thought of you still being with Robert and you both having children together. It is to my knowledge that you are engaged now and having twins and I would love for you to forgive me and allow me back into your life. If you cannot accept me as your mother, at least accept me as a friend. I'm still unsure of this Robert character because of the way you were when you two split up.

I want to be completely honest with you, I was taking a large amount of illegal drugs after your father died and that's what provoked me to assist you in your suicide mission and I've even considered suicide just looking back on what I did to you. I'm so sorry my dear Alyssa. I would love to meet up with you, preferably without Robert, and just catch up with you. I love you and you brother and sister and I'm sorry I turned out the way I did. >

"Alyssa, baby why are you crying? This sounds like good news."

"Robert I'm so scared. She wants to meet up with me alone and I feel like this is all a scam. I'm really not ready to forgive her and I'm not even at the point of letting her back into my life."

"Baby, I'm not going to let you go without me weather you wanted to or not. You already know that. She won't hurt you honey. You've got Chris, Jude, Indio, and I here for you and we won't let her touch a single hair on your pretty little head and if she tries to hurt our baby's I'll kill her. You don't need to worry."

She begins to smile and I kiss the tears away. She moves my head so our lips are able to connect. Every kiss is a new feeling. A feeling of love and passion flutters in my stomach as I take the chance of deepening the kiss. Just before the kiss carries on to far, someone clears their throat causing both of our heads to turn. It's Indio.

"Hey Dad, Mom." He's been calling Alyssa that lately, it doesn't bother either one of us, " sorry to.. Interrupt but I needed to see if I could borrow your old Ford to go out with some of my friends to the movies?"

"How old are you now, 17? I don't think so. You don't have your full license and I don't have insurance on that car or the time and money to be wasting on a wrecked car and a hurt child. I'll get Jude to drive you if you wanna go but he's staying there to make sure you don't get into any trouble." Indio just sighs and agrees with me. He heads out to wait for Jude in the parking lot. After a few minutes I head out to my car, hand in hand with my future wife. We walk fairly slow because Alyssa is having to waddle all the way to the car but we make it without any broken bones or any falls. I can tell that this being her first pregnancy, having twins is taking a major toll on her body. She has always been self conscious of her beautiful body and all of the stretch marks are just making that factor worse. I reach over and grab her hand, earning a smile and a quick peck on the cheek. Once we arrive at the cafe and are seated we start talking.

"So, baby names?" she begins by saying.

"That's just what I was going to suggest babe! so what do you think for a girl?"

"Well I've had trouble with girl names, the best I've come up with is Karen or Grace."

"Well there both great names but I've always loved the name Aubrey. Do you like it?" I ask.

"Like it?! I love it Robert." she says, happily.

"I was thinking for the middle name we go with Elane? That way we would be incorporating you grandma into the names." Her grandmas name is Ellie Elane Miers.

"Aubrey Elane Downey. I love it, it's perfect. Now for the boy?" She asks.

Now this is the one I've had trouble with. I'm not really good with boy baby names.

"Well I know that I want a Robert Downey III but I just don't think that with him being a twin, he should have that name. I just wouldn't want Aubrey to feel left out or any less special than our baby boy." She nods.

"Well how about Tobias Theodore Downey? I've been pondering on that for a while and I just fell in love with it." I smile.

"Honey, I love it. Not as much as I love you though." I slowly slide my hand farther and farther up her leg hoping to turn her on, totally forgetting that she is way to big to be considering those things.

"Robert stop!" she says, trying her hardest to stifle a moan. We haven't come this 'close' since she hit six months and let me tell you, it's so fucking hard to resist the temptation of the pure bliss that's being set aside.

"Okay, I'm sorry." I whisper. "I love you." and on with our meal we go.

I just wanted to say thank you to my readers who comment, especially @MrsDowney and @keelciee because they have commented on most, if not all of my chapters and encouraged me when I was doubting myself and just helping me through what has been posted of this story so thank you to the both of you and all of the others who have done the same. Those two just stood out to me and I'm not trying to exclude any of my lovely readers! love you all! Goodnight! (at least for me)
