Author's Note: I don't own anything except Abby. I reordered the chapters to flow a little better timeline wise.
Enjoy and as always feedback is amazing!
Tony and Abby were hanging out together while Phil and Clint were on a mission. They were eating and early lunch in the kitchen.
"Tony, can we go to the mall for a little bit? I want to get out of the tower for a bit." Abby said turning to Tony.
"Yeah, we could do dinner out too, if you want." Tony told her as she finished her lunch.
"Yea!" She rinsed her plate and silverware and placed them in the dishwasher. "Let me finish getting dressed, then we can go." Abby said as she dashed out of the kitchen and ran up to her room. She brushed her teeth and grabbed her coat before meeting Tony back in the hallway. "I'm ready."
"Okay, let's head out." Tony took her hand and took the elevator down to the lobby of the tower. They walked outside and down the street. Abby insisted they go into Build-a-Bear when they walked by. Tony looked around as they walked in. Abby led him over to the crates where the empty bears were. She picked out the black midnight teddy proudly and held it up for Tony.
"How about this one?" She smiled excitedly up at him.
"Looks perfect, Bee. Let's go to the next step. Did you want a sound in it?" He asked as they moved onto the next step.
She made a sour looking face. "No. They get too loud at the wrong times."
"Ok, next step." They moved onto the next step. The employee at the stuffing station smiled at them.
"Hi, you need to pick out a heart for your bear, first." He said as Tony bent down to help Abby pick one. Abby grabbed one and held it in her hands. "Now you need to rub it to warm it up, and tap it to give it a heartbeat." Abby followed the directions as they were given. "Now give it a big kiss and make a wish." Abby closed her eyes and kissed the little silk heart as she made her wish.
"All ready?" She asked excitedly.
"Now we put the stuffing into your bear and then the heart in." He said filling the limbs of the bear first on the machine. Abby placed the heart into the torso and some more stuffing went in around it. The employee finished lacing up the back and finished sealing the bear up. "There you go. All done with the stuffing." He handed Abby her bear.
"Thank you." She said smiling up at him as Tony took her other hand.
"You're very welcome." Tony and Abby moved onto the cleaning station and they gave the bear a 'bath'. Once they were done with that, they moved onto the naming station. Abby sat down in the seat and Tony squatted next to her.
"So what is your bear's name going to be?" He asked gently.
"I don't know. Help me figure it out." Abby said unsure of what to call her new bear.
"Well, is it a boy bear or a girl bear?" Tony asked her seriously.
"A boy." Abby thought a moment. "How about Robert?"
"That could work." He told her as she smiled brightly at him and he returned it. Abby hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Tony. Daddies try to not use my name on stuff, so can we put it in your name?"
"Sure." They finished the naming process and went over to the clothes and accessories. Abby and Tony put the tuxedo outfit, business suit outfit, white lab coat, a few hoodies, t-shirts, pants, a few costumes including an Iron Man costume, and all the other Avengers costumes. Abby dressed the bear in the Iron Man costume. They went to check out and put Robert into his new box home and Tony carried the bag with all the clothes. They stopped at the Barnes and Noble across the street to pick up some more books. They dropped their purchases off at the Tower before heading back out.
"Kiddo, you want to grab a show?" Tony said seeing a Lion King advertisement.
"Lion King?" She said seeing the same ad.
"Sure, let's see about tickets." He picked her up onto his hip and pulled out his phone. "JARVIS, get me the best tickets to the Lion King for tonight."
"Yes, sir. Let me contact the theater to get the best tickets." JARVIS told them.
"What do you want for early dinner?" Tony asked her.
"Whatever. Something good." She said dismissively.
"How does surf and turf sound? Seafood and steak?"
"Yummy."
"Good, I know this great place, near the theater." They kept walking to the theater area.
"Sir, I have gotten you both tickets in the middle orchestra section ninth row back. The initial rows do not provide the best view, so the ninth has some of the best views."
"Thanks JARVIS!" Tony and Abby yelled out. They went to the restaurant and got some late lunch-early dinner. They shared some gnocchi with pesto sauce and the grilled shrimp with paprika sauce and polenta. Abby nearly snorted her soda out of her nose a few times when Tony made a joke. They finished their meal and went over to the theater. They picked up the tickets and found their seats. The show passed by in a blur of music and bright colors. Abby was fascinated by the stage adaptation and her eyes danced across the stage following the cast as they moved around. When it was over, Abby stood up and clapped loudly, smiling up at Tony.
They bought a few souvenirs and stopped by another restaurant for dessert on their way home. Abby was exhausted by that point, so Tony carried her home, while she was fast asleep on his shoulder. He quickly changed her into her pjs when they got in and tucked her into her bed. He placed her new teddy bear in her arms as she snuggled down into her bed. "Night Bee. I hope you had fun." He told her quietly as he kissed her forehead.
"Thanks Tony." She replied tiredly, falling back asleep quickly. He turned the nightlight on, turned the overhead lights off, and closed the door.
