Memories - an Irondad and Spiderson story

6. Her name's Sarah Parker now.

A/N: So from now on 'til the end Peter and Sarah are only two years apart. That means if Sarah is five, Peter is seven years old and so on. Sorry but that just fits better...
And I don't know if that's really a thing but the school I mention is a school where preschool and elementary school are all in one building. I'm sorry I live in europe so our school system is very different. Please don't hate me for that. (Although  I'm going to live in the US as an exchange student for 10 months off August so I will learn how it works...)

The picture that was pinned on the paper showed a five year old girl. Her bright red hair was tied into two tight braids. Her green eyes were shining like stars and on her lips sparkled very little lipgloss which her mother had allowed her to wear that day. She was also wearing a bordeaux red, pretty cute dress that her dad had gotten her as a surprise the day before. The girl grinned widely into the camera, holding her brand new schoolbag in hand.

"That was Sarah's first schoolday." Peter said with a smile. He remembered exactly how the day went down...

"But first we have to take a picture!" Pepper said and her voice let no room for protest. So Sarah posed in front of a white wall while her mother took the photo with her StarkPhone. She was so excited to finally go to school and be a 'big girl' so she literally talked Happy's ear off on their ride to the school. Peter just laughed at his sisters eagerness. It would be his third year in school so he knew that it was often not that cool.

Happy and the kids arrived at their school and quickly found a parking spot. "Do you want me to go in with you?" Happy asked Sarah and she nodded, suddenly a bit shy, seeing all these other kids. They got out of the car (Tony's least fancy one but still pretty fancy) and went through the big doors. "Hey Peter! How was your summer?" A high voice greeted Peter. The boy looked at whom had spoken and his face lit up as he recognized Ned running their way. They exchanged their handshake and soon after that MJ joined them too with a simple "Welcome back, losers." Now the five people continued their way to Sarah's classroom. "Look, your room is just opposite ours. We can meet each other every break." Peter told his little sister to make her feel more comfortable. She just nodded and grabbed Happys hand harder. The man would never admit it but he felt very proud. Like a real uncle.

Ned and MJ said goodbye and Peter put a quick kiss on Sarah's forehead before he went to his own classroom with his friends. Happy and Sarah went into the room where they were greeted by a very nice looking lady. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Winchester. And who are you?" She asked, crouching down in front of the girl. "I'm Sarah Philomena Sta-" but Happy cut her off "Parker. Her name's Sarah Parker now." He said with a reassuring smile to the teacher. Sarah remembered what her parents had told her yesterday. In school her name would be Parker like her brother's. It was too risky for anyone to know that they were actually Tony Starks children. Someone could use them to get near Tony and for his kids sake, he would keep them safe. So she nodded agreeingly. The teacher looked a little confused but Happy explained "Her parents recently married. She just can't get used to the new name." Sarah knew that he was lying to protect her so she said nothing and Mrs. Winchester was smiling again. "Great. Why don't you go sit down next to Elliana over there?" She suggested and Sarah nodded, before she turned to Happy and hugged him. "Bye uncle Happy." The big man was a little surprised by the amount of adoration he got but he really enjoyed it. "Bye Sarah, have a good day." And with that she was gone.

Tony grinned as he thought of that day. Especially when Happy came back to the Tower after dropping the kids off at school.

"What has you smiling like a honeycakehorse?" Tony asked, looking up from his StarkPad. "Uhh... Nothing." Happy shrugged, continuing his way, whistling a funny melody. Tony looked after him very confused but just shook his head and focused back on the StarkPad.

With that memory Tony turned the page to see the next photo.
