A/N You should all know that I'm the reason why your precious ironman is still alive. I gave him the power! And now? I have been abandoned in the ocean of the coast of Miami! Now I got bored of all the fish and rubbish on the sea bed so I decided to tell a tale (since I am lying useless here). Now if only Jarvis decides to help…

(This story kicks off a year after Iron Man 3)

A loud wail pierced the heavy silence in the room and I froze. A white clad man walked towards me and I looked at the bundle in his hand apprehensively. With a quirked eyebrow he, almost in challenge, he stretched his arms out and offered the bundle to me. With shaking hands I lifted it out of his arms and stared at it. In my mind I thought about how much I wished this was a machine so that even if it broke I could fix it. But no. This was much more fragile, much more important and I was scared. Awkwardly I shifted it around in my arms and wondered what to do next. My eyes darted around the room and connected with Peppers' and a reassuring smile spread on her tired face.

"You're doing good." she whispered. I tried to respond but words failed me so I simply jerked my head slightly in response. A nervous smile flickered on my face and with the bundle in my hands I walked towards Pepper and sat next to her on the bed. I looked at Pepper and then at the bundle in my hands, thinking of how much they were alike. Looking back at my beautiful wife I smiled again, feeling more confident this time and said

"We did this. Our little girl."
