Ch.1 The Road So Far
My name is Iris Naomi Roberts. I was born at St. Mary's Hospital in New York City. My father was married to my mother, meaning that they got divorced after by I was born.
My father is Dr. James Roberts who is currently the Head of Oncology at St. Mary's Hospital. He was married to my mother Elizabeth Montgomery, who is currently Head of International Law for the United Nations as well as teaching a couple of Law classes at NYU. At 59, she is currently the youngest Legal Department head the UN has ever had.
I have two older brothers, an older sister, and twin younger brothers. My oldest brother is 35, and his name is Dr. Michael Roberts he is currently working for the World Health Organization in their infectious disease unit. His wife Lyla died in a car accident 2 Years ago. He has 5 year old twin boys Luke and David. Michael loves his children and our entire family. He is the stereotypical over protective big brother not so much for my older sister but for me.
Next is Joshua, 30, more commonly known as Josh or JT. He is currently starring in a revival of Le Mis on Broadway. He isn't married and has had a long string of socialite girlfriends that my parents have hated to no-end. He is the one to always make me smile and laugh, when no one else can.
Then there is my sister Mary. She is 29 years old. She had been married to David for 8 years. They married each other at the end of their junior year of College at NYU, they are perfect together. Their oldest child Anna was born 2 days before Mary and David's 5 year wedding anniversary. Their son James was born 18 months later.
Almost a year to the day after Mary was born, I made my first appearance into the world. I am 28 years old and unmarried, much to the chagrin of my parents. When I was in college I met and fell in love with an airman my freshman year. He was 4 years older than I was, but I didn't care. His name was Roger Ellis. He was funny, kind, caring and brave. We got engaged and set a date 2 days after I graduated College. We were going to get married 3 weeks after his return from Iraq. We didn't get the chance. My grandmother always told me "If you want to see God laugh tell him your plans." Roger was shot out of the sky 2 months into his tour of duty. I was devastated. I had lost the single most important person in my life in a matter of seconds. I didn't genuinely laugh or smile for months after he died. 6 months after Roger's death, I made myself a promise that I would never fall in love with anyone that could be taken away from me ever again; since everyone will die eventually and be taken away from me why fall in love at all. It's been a little over 5 years since he died, and I still miss him very much.
Last but certainly not least are my 16 year old Twin brothers Noah and Isaac. I know what you're thinking 12 years is a fairly large age gap between children. And you are perfectly correct in the assumption that my younger brothers were not planned. So here is how that story goes, my parents separated but did not get divorced when I was 5 years old. My Father officially lived in our Riverdale home with us, while unofficially staying in his Chelsea apartment to be closer to work. As I am sure you can guess my siblings and I lived with my mother in Riverdale. My parents had a very friendly separation, they still loved their children and loved each other for being a biological part of us, but were no longer "in love" with each other. My father after the separation only really lived at our Riverdale home during the holiday season. The Christmas of 1999, when I was 12 years old my parents were finally filing for divorce, and had decided to stay up late talking it over with a couple of glasses of wine. One thing led to another and 6 months later my parents were divorced and 3 months after that my twin brothers were born. Noah and Isaac are quite possibly the sweetest boys you will ever meet. They are also the most aggravating boys you will ever meet. But then again I might be a little biased.
Now if you have done the math you have figured out that my siblings and I were born and raised while both my parents were still in school and beginning their careers. You are probably thinking that we were raised by nannies or something similar, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Our parents were very involved in our upbringing, but for the times that they couldn't be there my Nana Iris took care of us. Did you catch the name? Yep, that's right my grandmother is my namesake. She is the kindest woman I have ever had the chance of meeting. She has this no nonsense attitude mixed with charm, grace, and wit that makes everyone love her almost instantaneously. She is also extremely stubborn and almost always gets her way. It is one of the most entertaining sights in the world to see this little 82 year old, 5'4" woman argue with someone twice her size and get her way. And she does it all with the kindest smile imaginable on her face.
Now that you have heard all about my family I assume your next question will be what I do for a living. My official title is Head Business Administrator for the CEO of Stark Industries. What that means is that I make sure that all necessary materials for high level meetings have been gathered, all paperwork that needs an actual signature and not just the autopen have been signed, and make sure that all departments within Stark Industries run smoothly and send me their weekly briefings so that I can brief the CEO of what is going on in the Company when needed. My job when I first started was a little more complicated because there were three people I had to prepare briefings for Obadiah Stane, Pepper Pots, and JARVIS. Obadiah because he was chairman of the board of directors, really the only person on the board directors. Pepper Potts because Mr. Stark never kept consistent hours and you never knew when he was going to appear in the office. Pepper kept on top of things making sure Tony knew all the necessary factors about the company from my briefings. Finally JARVIS so that if Tony got bored and started looking through the company records, and then had questions or wanted answers without Ms. Potts around, JARVIS would have his answers.
Now that Pepper Potts is the CEO of Stark Industries, my life has been made quite a bit easier. Pepper is more organized and more efficient than Tony Stark could ever have dreamed. While Tony is still involved in the company, he just gets his info from Pepper or has JARVIS tap into the system, which makes things so much easier. Not that I have anything against Tony Stark, he is arrogant and condescending at times, but is a genuinely good human being.
That's my life so far.
