(Disclaimer:I don't own anything! Even the song!)
Wow! Been a while since I've written anything. I don't really like to write song fics (even though this is my third one) but this song just struck me hard for inspiration. Song is "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon and in my opinion it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, just a very sweet song about father and son, which is how I got this idea:)
"WAAAAAAAHH!" is what awoke a heavily tired Tony Stark from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes as he glanced at the clock, 4:37am it flashed. Tony quickly got out of bed, while trying not to wake up his other half next to him. He made it into the bedroom where the disturbing wailing was coming from and gently shut the door so he wouldn't wake up the baby's mother.
"Hey little guy, what's wrong now?" Tony cooed as he picked up his son and gently rocked him. The new born continued to cry and make weird faces that Tony assumed he looked like when he cried when he was little.
"Daddy's here, are you hungry? I really don't want to wake your mom up again." Tony said as he sat down in the rocking chair next to the crib. He started to hum as he rocked his son in his arms.
"Would you like it if I sang you a lullaby?" In response the new born waved his arms, signaling his father that he would like it.
"Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to have patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling boy."
When Tony finished he saw his little Shawn fast asleep. As he got up to set him down in the crib, Tony noticed a slender figure standing in the doorway with red hair and freckles, smiling.
"Have you been there long?" Tony whispered, still cradling Shawn in his arms.
"Only a few minutes. I woke up to someone singing very beautifully." Pepper said and smiled as she kissed her husband.
"Oh, well whoever that was he should be on the radio. He has an amazing voice." Tony said with a smile as he laid Shawn down in his crib. Tony walked out with his arm around Pepper's waist.
Very short, but you've got to admit it was a little sweet right? I named their baby after the real Sean Lennon (who this song was written for) but I changed the spelling to make it sound more personal. Anyways I Highly recommend you listen to the song. It's truly touching and if you listen to it while you read this you might feel your eyes water up, I know mine did:) Anyways Please review!:)
