They won or lost. Depending on how you looked at it but what mattered is that Thanos was dead. He would stay dead, but the infinity stones were gone. They had no way of getting back what they had lost and Henry knew that was going to mess up Tony but as sad as it was for Henry to think, they had an answer. They were gone and likely they would be gone forever so Henry and Tony had to adjust to this new life. Make new memories, and maybe even make new family members if Tony's dream was any consolation.
But Henry knew he couldn't rush Tony's feelings so he held his husband, he held his husband as he cried after Steve and Natasha left after they told Tony that the stones were destroyed. He had kissed Tony on the head and climbed into the hospital bed with him, luckily the windows were tinted so no one could see Tony cry because Henry knew that if someone saw him crying then he would get more upset but instead of outwardly showing by crying he would retreat in on himself and wouldn't talk about it and since Alex Green-Strange was out of commission for the time being Tony would have no outsider perspective to talk to.
Two days after Thanos was killed they got the okay from Bruce for Tony to go home, which led them to now. Tony was laying on his back playing with Henry's fingers as he was on his side looking at Tony's still skinny form. "I- I really want a baby, Hen." Tony's fingers tightened as he squeezed on Henry's fingers to grab his attention. Henry shook himself awake when he felt himself falling but he still heard Tony's confession. "Are you sure that's wise Tony? Something tragic just happened to all of us, I want a baby too Tony but are we ready?"
Instead of responding Tony huffed and rolled away from Henry before sitting on the side of the bed, he still moved sluggishly from the lack of weight supporting him. Henry got up quickly and tried to grab a hold of Tony's arm but he brushed him off. "Don't Hen, I love you and I understand what you are saying but I'm not asking to get a baby tomorrow. I just want to start trying, I really want a baby who looks like you." Tony slowly moves towards the chair that was in the corner of their bedroom that was overlooking the New York scenery. "Okay okay, but why do you want the baby to look like me. What if I want the baby to look like you, you're cute Chilean self." The comment made Tony chuckle but shake his head. "Maybe next time but I thought a mini Henry would be very cute. Can you at least promise me you'll think about it? We've talked about it before but the snap of the whole world, and seeing- seeing Peter get snapped." Tony stuttered over saying Peter's name which made Henry sigh and grabs Tony's hand from his position kneeling in front of Tony who was sitting on the chair looking out the window wistfully.
"It put things in perspective for me, hearing him telling me that he didn't want to go. I always said that I was like a father but I didn't tell him that and I regret that. I want a child, I want to see a little us to grow up to be amazing like their brother." Henry knew that Tony was talking about Peter when he used the word brother for their unborn child and it made Henry warm inside thinking about the things they would tell them about Peter and the others who got snapped, so Henry let out a sigh as he stood up and kissed Tony on the lips. "So it sounds like you want to have a surrogate, would it be weird if we asked Pepper?" Henry sat next to Tony putting his weight on the armrest so Tony could put his arm around Henry's waist, a position that was common for them but because of Tony's dramatic weight loss, Henry didn't feel comfortable sitting on his lap in fear of hurting him.
"Wait what?" Tony looked at Henry shocked as he processed what Henry had said. "I know what you're going to do which is try to call Pepper right now but we'll call her in the morning, for now, we can go over other options because Pepper might not want to do it you know. We have to be ready for anything, which is why we also might need to keep our eyes open to adoption as well. It helps that we have been on the foster child list and approved we just haven't had a placement yet." Tony smirked and nodded, he grabbed Henry's hand and kissed his open palm.
"I love you so much, I can't wait to raise a little Morgan with you," Tony said dropping Henry's hand and letting his head fall against Henry's shoulder. "Little Morgan Ana Oakley-Stark." Tony's lifted his head and looked at Henry shocked at the name for a girl if they have one. Henry kissed Tony's nose before glancing at the time, he reluctantly got up and walked towards the bathroom to get ready for bed. He clicks on the light and looks in the mirror with a smile, he can see Tony in the mirror with a smile on his face as he's making sure the bed is ready for them to sleep.
Just as Henry is finished brushing his teeth Tony walks in, as they pass each other Tony gives Henry a kiss on the cheek and a slight pat to the butt which makes henry huff but he gives up on trying to scold Tony about it. He has a grin on his face as he gets comfy in bed waiting for Tony to be finished getting ready for bed, a few minutes later Tony walks into the room and brushes back the covers.
Instead of staying at a distance, he tucks himself under Henry's chin letting the man wrap his arms around them while they sleep. "I love you," Henry said with a kiss to Tony's fluffy hair. "I love you too."
