"Okay Tony we're headed out so we need you to keep an eye on your Sister while we're gone," Howard said as he gestured to the 12-year-old Emilia Stark who was sitting nearby holding onto her rabbit plushie.

"Yeah sorry, I can't babysit 'Chucky' tonight old man, I'm busy..." Tony said while floating in the pool with a drink in his hand.

Howard scoffed at his words before glancing at the young Stark who just so happened to be dressed in a multicolored stripe long-sleeved shirt, with a denim overalls dress on top.

"Busy doing what?" Howard questioned.

"Not baby-sitting," Tony stated.

Earlier in the week Emilia had attempted to take one of Tony's AC/DC CDs. But in the process, she knocked over one of the inventions he had spent months putting together. Tony was upset when it sparked up in flames when he turned it on. He spent all week trying to repair it all while ignoring her.

"Can't I go with you and Mom?" Mia said looking up at her father who was busy glaring at her brother.

It just had to be the day Jarvis was out on vacation with his wife, and here he was trying to do the same for Maria. He hoped his son wouldn't be as petty as to not watch over his own sister. But boy was he wrong...

"Will you start taking some responsibility for once, all I'm asking of you is to watch your sister while we're gone. So cut the crap—"

He was interrupted by the voice of Maria Stark. "Honey we're going to be late," She said while poking her head outtaking in the tense atmosphere.

"Well, honey our son here is being a complete pain in the—" Howard was cut off by Maria who gave him a sharp look as she pointed to Mia who was present. "Howard..."

"Butt...Pain in the butt." He finished.

Maria sighed at her husband's and son's usual bickering. "Now, I think we should bring Mia...it wouldn't hurt to spend a little extra time with her. Plus, I think Peggy would love to see her." She said smiling at her daughter who nodded in agreement.

Howard dragged his hand across his face before letting out a sigh. "There goes my plans..." He mumbled.

"Alright, let's go kiddo...gonna be spending winter break with dear old Mom and Dad," Howard said before heading back inside.

"Will be back soon, don't stay in that pool forever, okay?" Maria said to Tony who just waved her off.

She shook her head at his antics before looking towards Emilia. "Mia, is there something you want to say to your brother?"

The youngest Stark turns to her Brother while holding onto a rabbit plushie given to her by Jarvis on her Birthday.

"Bye Anthony," Mia said waving toward her brother who didn't even spare her a glance.

"Yeah, whatever," He says before taking a sip from his martini. Maria just sighs and turns around takes Mia's hands and walks out the front door.

When they both reach the car Howard opens the door for Maria before going to his daughter's door and buckling her seatbelt then heading to the driver's seat, and driving off into the road. "It's gonna be fun kiddo, you know Aunt Peggy hasn't seen you since last Christmas."
