The Daughter

Chapter 1

(1994)

Tony Stark was busy working in his lab as he normally did. When he was interrupted by his AI telling him something was left on his doorstep. Tony walked to the door and opened it.

"JARVIS I dont see anything." Tony says.

"It was left on the ground sir." JARVIS says.

Tony looked down and saw a bag of stuff meant for babies and basket on the ground with a blanket covering the top. He moved the blanket and saw a sleeping little baby with a note on her stomach.

Tony, I know you dont remember me, but about 9 months and 3 days ago we met and spent the night together. Something came from that night, this baby girl here. I have already signed away my rights as her mother you may do what you want. Raise her or ditch her its up to you. Good luck.

"JARIVS? What should I do?" Tony asks.

"Thats up to you sir." JARVIS says.

It was late so Tony decided to bring the baby girl in for the night. She was only a few days old and Tony had no idea what to do about this child.

The next day he got his best friend to come over and talk about this problem at hand.

"Tony? Why did you call me over so early?" Rhodey asks.

There was no response though Rhodes did hear the sound of a child crying and so he followed the noise upstairs. Thats where he found his friend rocking a little baby in his arms.

"Tony thats a baby. Did you rob a mother or something?" Rhodey asks.

"No. She's mine... From... Well a one night stand. The woman dropped her off and left. JARVIS please tell Colonel Rhodes what we learned last night." Tony says rocking her in his arms.

"Of course sir. This little baby is a healthy baby girl weighs in at 6 lbs and 7 ounces. According to the birth certificate she was born on March 9th at 3:45 in the morning. The mother gave no name and didnt put anyone one the birth certificate. Lastly I ran a DNA Test... She is indeed Mr.Stark's daughter." JARVIS says.

"Now I have a choice to be her father or give her away. Rhodes what do I do?" Tony asks.

Rhodey looked at his friend and at the baby who had now fallen asleep in her father's arms. He then looked back at Tony who was smiling at his baby girl it had been the first time since Tony's parents died that Rhodey saw a real smile on Tony's face.

"I cant tell you what to do, but you seem like in just a matter of hours you've adapted to fatherhood already." Rhodey says.

Tony looked at the sleeping baby and he got his phone out sending a message to Happy to get a ton of baby things.

Happy showed up hours later with all the baby stuff Tony had requested. Rhodey helped unload all the baby stuff and placed it in the bedroom beside Tony's.

Tony walked into the room with the baby and placed her in the crib and all three men looked at her.

"Are babies always this tired?" Tony asks.
