A Daughter of Iron

How Angel Joan Stark came into this world goes like this:

A 17 year old Tony Stark had just graduated early from MIT and was simply looking for a goodtime with some pretty girls in Paris. And he did have a good time for a day or two, but his life changed when he saw Joan Radaka; a Bulgarian, 17 year old, stunning model that made him fall in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her as she walked down the runway.

Tony fell hard and he fell fast, which was a first for him.

The way Tony explains is that he had to win Joan over, prove he wasn't the womanizer he was already labeled to be, and after some long hard trials, he did.

They both fell madly in love with each other in Paris.

Joan went back to California with him. She was already well known in the modeling world but became a must have for photo shoots, fashions shows, and glamorous commercials once she came to America.

Her career was booming when she was eighteen. This was mostly because she was who she was (the most breathe taking model people had seen in years but also an honest, kind, sweet person) and because she was with young bachelor Tony Stark. Joan's face was everywhere. On billboards, commercials for the most extravagant perfume, stores and tv. You simply could not go a day without seeing her face on something somewhere.

Tony and Joan went everywhere together when they could, if there was some red carpet event, or award show, or fancy diner, Joan was always on Tony's arm.

They loved each other with every ounce of life they had in them. Joan had changed Tony for the better.

Here is where things get scandalous.

At eighteen, at the peak of Joan's carrier and the beginning of Tony's as a CEO in training. Joan discovered she was pregnant.

At first, being only eighteen year olds, they thought there life was over. Both of their parents were going to kill them. Both of their publicists were going to freaking murder them. Joan's career as model was over because soon she would be showing. Tony knew the public was going to ride his ass hard for getting his girlfriend pregnant.
They wouldn't think he was fit enough to run the company. They wound think he was even more irresponsible then they already did. His public image was shot to hell.

But Tony, and Joan, being the stubborn, determined people they were, decided their life was not over. They deiced this was a good thing - A great thing even. A baby wasn't going to ruin their life, only make it a bit harder. Tony firmly believed that nothing that was worth it was ever easy. Joan and Tony loved each other more the anything and a baby was only going to be proof of it. That's why Tony purposed to Joan on the spot without a ring. She said yes.

Of course no one was happy about the pregnancy. Tony's father had even tried to talk them into giving the baby up when the child was born. It wasn't happening. They wanted this baby. They wanted to be a family. Yes, they were young...but this was not a mistake. They didn't care about anyone's opinion. They knew what they wanted, they knew what made them happy, nothing else mater.

Even when Joan was heavily pregnant, she still had modeling jobs, she did photo shoots for paternity clothes, even did a few fashion shows, was even on the cover of some pregnancy magazine.

The press was even taking everything pretty well, of course there were always more than a handful of people who hated you, but most people looked at Tony highly for once. The public had looked at him as being responsible for asking Joan to marry him, for staying with her when he could have abandoned her (like people figured he would), people were stunned he didn't bail on her. What the public would never understand is how much Tony loved Joan.
