Rhodey had invited Henry to listen in on the plan that they had but Henry declined, stating that his spot was right next to Tony. Nowhere else, he couldn't even fight anyway. He wouldn't be useful not like Tony is which is why he hoped this wasn't the end. Tony couldn't go out like this, like a helpless little child that was so skinny that Henry feels like he would break if he breathed the wrong way.
Letting out a shaky breath Henry scoots back the hospital chair and hugs himself as he looks out the window, he watches as the jet takes off from the helipad that was on the grounds. That meant they figured out a plan Henry thinks to himself before turning back around to face Tony, he knows that when Tony wakes up and finds out that they didn't wait for him he's gonna beat himself up but Tony is in no shape to fight and he has to know that. AT least Henry is counting on that, gulping Henry pulls out his phone from his pocket and reads his texts messages that he hasn't answered. He quickly answered Pepper that Tony was safe before his thumb hovers over Alex's text message chain, Henry doesn't know what he should and would say. What do you say to someone whose love of their life got snapped when you just got yours back after thinking yours was lost forever.
Sighing Henry locks his phone before putting it back in his pocket and walking over to his seat next to Tony again, he hesitantly reaches out before grabbing the man's hand. "What am I gonna do with you?" Henry said fondly, if he was paying attention he would notice that Tony's hand twitched when he spoke but Henry was too wrapped up in looking over Tony's vitals obsessively. "Hey, stop it." Henry looked down when he felt a tug followed by Tony speaking softly. Henry made a wounded noise at the back of his throat before his hand came up to stroke Tony's hair softly. "Hey, I'm just making sure you're alright." Tony laughs slightly before breaking off into a cough.
Henry sighs and drops his hand before grabbing the water that was on the side table, he guides the straw to Tony's lips. "Small sips." Tony rolls his eyes but does as Henry asks, when he's finished he pushes the cup away and Henry places it back on the nightstand. "What is it?" Tony instantly says when Henry looks back over towards him, Henry raises his eyebrow in surprise silently telling Tony to go on. "Why do you look like you need to tell me something but don't know how." Henry sighed and sucked his teeth before flopping down in the chair next to the bed.
Henry was dreading this, he knew that Tony would be upset but he hoped he would understand. He glanced at the door before looking back towards Tony, he hoped the genius wouldn't notice but Henry wasn't that lucky. "They found him didn't they," Tony said already trying to push the blankets off of him but Henry quickly brushed his hands away and smoothed the blanket back down.
"They left around 30 minutes ago, they offered to let me hear the plans but I declined. I wanted to be here plus I wouldn't be much help anyway so might as well stay here right?" Henry chuckled but quieted down after a few seconds of Tony not laughing, Henry leaned closer and kissed Tony's hand before letting his head rest beside his hand. It was close enough that Tony's fingertips brushed against Henry's hairline. "It's for the best, I failed them once. Wouldn't want to fail again." Tony spread his thumb to brush across Henry's hairline.
Henry resisted the urge to sigh, he knew that this would happen but Henry stayed silent knowing that Tony didn't need that right now. It could wait, now wasn't the time. "Maybe we can get a cabin," Tony said after a moment of no one speaking.
Henry leaned up and looked at Tony confused. "What do you mean a cabin?" Henry chuckled at the thought of two rich guys living in a cabin in the buck fuck of nowhere. "I mean like a cabin where it's decked out in tech and stuff. We could give the houses that we own to like people from OSI workers who are in town for meetings or something. Then you and I can own a cabin in Upper New York. The woodsy part, it would be perfect for us."
It all made sense to Henry, this was Tony's way of coping. He wanted to move on and it sounded like Tony wanted to have a kid as well. "Well, you were talking about having a kid. Do you want to do that?" Tony turned his head so he was looking at Henry before he nodded tinily. "I do, I want to have a child with you. A little Morgan." Tony smiled and interlocked their fingers together.
Suddenly Henry smirked and he hopped up on the bed next to Tony's hand. "What if, it's a girl?" Henry's voice had a teasing glint to it but he didn't miss the way that Tony's eyes shined with excitement at the thought of having a daughter. "Morgan works for a girl too." Henry huffed out a laugh but nodded, he was quiet when a thought popped into his head. "You don't want to name her something like Maria or Ana?" Henry licked his lips as he looked at Tony nervously, he didn't mind if Tony wanted to name their future child after someone from his past. "I don't, although for a girl Ana would be cute as a middle name I want our child whoever they are to have their own name. They already have Oakley-Stark as a last name, you didn't even know your dad. Only that he died in the British army but they would have their own first name. That's why I want to go with Morgan, I like it. Do you not like it?" Tony looked at Henry hesitantly but smiled as Henry spoke. "It's perfect, Tones."
