That Powerful Soul and Spirited Heart (Wingfic) Book 3

Chapter 22 They're so beautiful

Sam's Pov:

"Do you think he's mad at me?" Tony asked.

"Stephen?" I asked as we snuggled in the blankets on the couch.

"Yeah..." Tony said looking sad.

"No, honey...I'm sure he probably just went to look for something that can help," I said and Tony nodded. I looked at his pale face worriedly...I was scared. Scared we might lose Tony...Tony is what held us together...losing him would break all of us.

"Are you mad at me?" Tony asked and I saw him looking at me as we sat next to each other in our blanket burrito.

"No, Honey," I said and Tony frowned as he looked back at the TV. I heard the elevator open and T'Challa rushed out looking panicked when he saw us.

"What's wrong?" T'Challa asked and Tony frowned.

"The babies...are growing faster than we thought and they're..." I trailed off and T'Challa's eyes darkened as he took in Tony's appearance. Tony looked kind of frail right now and seeing him so...weak broke my heart.

"Oh, Anthony," T'Challa said and Tony started crying immediately. T'Challa pulled him into a hug and gave me a worried look...I looked away not wanting him to see how scared I was.

"I'm sorry," Tony said and that hurt...It hurt that Tony thought he needed to apologize to us for protecting the babies.

"It's alright, we'll figure out something," T'Challa said.

"Stephy hates me." Tony sobbed and T'Challa gave me a look and I shook my head...He's not here. I saw the anger in T'Challa's eyes but he kept comforting Tony.

"No, Stephen loves you, Anthony," T'Challa said and I frowned.

Tony's Pov:

"I'll be back," Stephen said leaving me on the couch...The tower was eerily quiet till...My eyes widened as I heard a baby crying. What? I got up and walked down the hall...The lights flickering as I walked.

"You just want it to let it kill you!" I heard Bruce shout and I swallowed...This is a nightmare...Right? I stopped in front of a door slowly opening it when the crying stopped.

"Mommy!?" I froze looking at the small child grinning at me. Her white wings glittering and her heterochromia eyes locking on to me...One Stephen's eye and the other my brown.

"Mommy?" I asked.

"Yes...Come here." She said walking over and grabbing my hand gently as she walked me into her room.

"So...Not a nightmare," I said.

"It is...Out there but you can stay here with us." She said her brown hair in pigtails as she smiled at me. Us? I looked around and saw a boy with brown eyes...

"Um...ok," I said.

"I love you, mommy." She said smiling at me making my heart melt.

"I love you too sweetie," I said and she smiled.

"I know." She said and frowned looking at her door...The door that had black vines growing on it. 

"I'm sorry." The boy said looking at me.

"For what?" I asked.

"Hurting you...I don't want to hurt you..." He said and my daughter looked at the door. 

"You're not alone." She said suddenly making me look at her.

"I know, I have you," I said and she smiled. "Both of you," I said softly and he smiled.
