Howard Stark stared in shock as the nurses delivered his second son. "This isn't right. We are not prepared for TWINS!" he shouted causing both new born boys to begin to cry.
"We are sorry Mr Stark but it seems the second baby was hidden behind the first so therefore we did not know," the midwife replied.
"Surly you could tell there was two heart beats?" he asked.
"They were so in time with each other they sounded as one," the midwife replied. Howard Stark went red in the face and he stormed out of the hospital probably to get drunk. Maria Stark wept for her children because she knew she would have to give up one or have te risk of Howard abandoning it somewhere.
"Mam'me what would you like to call your children?" a nurse asked as Maria hugged her sons close. The first child born was wrapped in a blue blanket and the second in a white one.
"The first Anthony Edward Stark and the second Sherlock Howard Stark," Maria sniffed. The nurse wrote that down and smiled at the mother and babies. A knock at the door caused Maria to look up. She smiled when she saw Peggy Holmes (I.E Peggy Carter) standing there.
"Twins?" she asked her British accent showing through. Maria nodded and burst into tears all over again. "What is wrong Maria?" Peggy asked as she purched on the hospital bed.
"I shall have to give one up for adoption but I do not wish to let the child get into a family that will abuse him or treat him wrong," Maria cried.
"I could take one. I mean I am both their godmother so I could. Mycroft would be a brilliant older brother," Peggy soothed.
"You would do that? for me?" Maria asked sniffing.
"Hay you got me with Alexander after. . . Steve," Peggy said smiling sadly at her old friends name. The first man she loved and the fist man she lost.
"Thank you," Maria said. Peggy smiled and took the second baby from Maria.
"Welcome to the family Sherlock Howard Holmes."
