Once Obadiah showed up Tony asked us to give them sometime to talk. I went to my office and grabbed everything I need to work from home. Tony wasn't leaving my sight for awhile at least until I know what's going on with that thing in his chest. I got back in the car and Happy drove us back over to the weapons building, once we parked he quickly got in the car

'What did he say?" I asked

"I should get some rest and rethink this weapons deal."

"And you told him no I'm guessing."

"Of course, I did but like you said he wrote me off like I was crazy."

"Did you tell him about the arc-reactor?"

"He saw it, he thinks focusing on reactor energy is a waste of time. He says I should stick to what I'm good at."

"You're good at whatever you put your mind to. I mean we're going to take a hit, the market doesn't like change, but you know I've always believed you could do this." I told him as my phone buzzed it's been going off non stop since his announcement

"There's a board meeting the day after tomorrow." I told him as I read the email

"Obi told me to lay low."

"I think you should go speak your piece. If Obi doesn't believe in this do you really think he's going to fight for it?" I asked and he shrugged

"I'm staying in my old room tonight, just so you know." I told him and he smirked

"You don't have too, I'm fine."

"I'm staying."

"I guess I kind of missed you too." He mumbled I smiled as I felt those butterflies in my stomach

"I know you did." I said with a smile

"CNN wants a statement," I said to him

"No comment, to everyone ."

"Alright." I said locking my phone

"Who's the baby?" He asked with a frown and I showed him my phone with a smile

"Did you have a baby while I was gone?"

"It's my nephew, Abel. he was born the day you left."

"Please tell you took Happy with you." He said and I looked away

"Gianna."

"I was fine, it was an impromptu trip Abel was born 10 weeks early. I needed to be there."

"How is he doing now?"

"After two surgeries he getting stronger everyday."

"Have been back up there since I've been gone?"

"No but I am going when he gets out of the hospital."

"I'm going with you."

"No."

"Yes."

"you don't even like kids."

"False. I don't love kids but I like them. I don't want you going there alone."

"I can take care of myself, I still take jiu-jitsu three times a week."

"And yet you're still a white belt." He said and my jaw dropped and I hit his uninjured arm
