AN: I'm back! I hope you like this next story. It took me a little while to get it all together but here is the first chapter. Hope you like!

It was the first of February and as Coulson sat in his office he thought back to all that had happened in the last month. Not only had Virreena, Loki's and Bruce's kid been born, but they had also gotten married as well. Pepper had found someone, a painter. He seemed like a nice enough guy and they seemed happy which was good. According to Thor everything in the other realms was going pretty well too. Tony and Steve had been talking about the possibility of marriage and so far S.H.E.I.L.D. hadn't had to call upon the Avengers again. Agents Romanoff and Barton also had been excelling at any mission given to them, but they always did. All in all, everything was going pretty well but there was one thing that Coulson still didn't understand.

How did he become Virreena's babysitter?

It wasn't that he didn't like her; she was great for being only a month old. Not only was she pretty, she had green eyes like Loki's but darker than his, tanner skin like Bruce and a mop of black hair already on her head, but she was also well behaved. She hardly ever cried or bothered Coulson while he worked and if she wanted something she'd motion to it with her little hand. She didn't try to eat everything she saw like some kids did and for being a baby she was extremely patient.

Coulson remembered the first time he had had to watch her was when Bruce had been hurrying to the lab, saw Coulson, and asked him to watch her because he was dealing with something radioactive in the lab that day. He hadn't minded because he had only had to worry about paper work. However, when both Bruce and Loki were busy, mainly for S.H.E.I.L.D., it was obvious they needed someone to watch Virreena during those times.

Coulson would have thought to call upon Steve, Pepper, or even Tony and would have suggested that when Director Fury told him something that even now, nearly a month later, he didn't understand. He had said that from then on Coulson would be babysitting Virreena whenever Bruce and Loki were unavailable.

Now, Coulson had never even spoken out against a direct order. However, at that moment he had asked, "Sir, are you joking?"

"Of course I'm not," was Fury's reply.

Coulson wondered if he had done something wrong but he couldn't think of anything. It didn't really make since. Even though he had questioned it numerous times however, he hadn't gone against or spoke out against it. If he could figure out why he would have been happy just knowing that.

As he thought all this, Coulson was actually babysitting Virreena right then. He glanced over to her to see how she was doing, currently she was asleep. He then turned back to his computer to see how well Romanoff and Barton were doing on their current mission. He was in the middle of reading one of their daily reports when the door opened.

He wasn't really expecting anyone and was surprised to see the person standing in the doorway was Jarvis. Coulson, of course, didn't show his surprise except by raising an eyebrow. Jarvis was dressed in his usual suit but he seemed much more casual than usual. Though he still stood up straight, he didn't seem rigid. His hands were also in his pockets instead down at his side or behind his back.

"Hello, Jarvis," said Coulson as he stood up. "What brings you here?"

"Nothing much," replied the AI. "I was bored."

"Bored?" questioned Coulson. "Since when does Tony Stark's AI get bored?"

"Well, technically I'm not," Jarvis responded. "If I wanted to I could read, watch, calculate, create just about anything if wanted to and more but I like to walk around, see what others are doing and I heard that you're Virreena's babysitter."

"Ah, so you didn't come to see me you came to see her," replied Coulson jokingly with a small half smile.

Of course, Jarvis didn't get the joke and responded with, "I came here to see you just as much as I came to see her. I like your company."

"Thanks but why are you here? I would guess that since you're here Tony is here but if so, why aren't you with him?" questioned Coulson.

"I am with him, but I'm not with him as well," said Jarvis. "You see, even though I'm standing here with you I'm still connected to all his monitors, his phone, and everything else. The best way to think about it is like me being in two places at once."

"Interesting," said Coulson. He remained silent for a while as he watched Jarvis. The AI was knelt beside Virreena. He rubbed a finger against her cheek softly as he smiled at her. It was so human that Coulson had to take a minute to remind himself that Jarvis was still an AI, a computer. There wasn't a beating heart or blood pumping through his veins no matter how much it seemed there was.

"Even after all these months it's still seems so strange to finally put a face to the voice," thought Coulson out loud.

"You think it strange? Think about how I feel," replied Jarvis with a chuckle. "Being able to process information as fast as I do is nothing compared to being able to feel and touch. It is nothing compared to being able to talk to someone face to face."

"I suppose your right," said Coulson with another half smile. "So what is Tony up to right now?"

"Right now? Complaining that no one knows how to speak English among the engineers of S.H.E.I.L.D."
