As 18 weeks approached Kagome started to feel a flutter in her belly, she panicked at first and was going to call the doctor but she had told Tony and he said it was normal.
"How do you know?"
"Are you kidding? I've been reading every baby book in existence since your ultrasound. Would you like to borrow them?"
"Yes! I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner to read up on this."
"It's because you're not a genius like I am," Tony said with a smirk.
Kagome smacked Tony's arm, "Shut up and get me the books."
"Whatever you want, dear," Tony said with a laugh and downloaded the books onto a Stark Pad for Kagome.
After downloading the books for Kagome, Tony went downstairs to work on his suit. Kagome sat down on the sofa and started reading one of the books. After a while, she got up and stretched and decided to get started on dinner.
Finally, December 7th rolled around and it was time for Kagome's ultrasound. She and Tony went back to the doctor after it had closed like the last time and were let in the back.
"Good evening Mr. Stark, Ms. Higurashi how are you?
"We're good, thank you," Tony answered.
They walked into the clinic and the nurse showed Kagome and Tony into the exam room where she took Kagome's information and vitals.
"Okay, if you can get on the exam table, and lower your pants the doctor with bringing in shortly to perform your ultrasound."
Tony helped Kagome onto the exam table then helped her lower her pants. A few minutes later Dr. Williams comes in and greets the couple.
"Hello, Kagome, Tony, how are you this evening?"
"Good, Dr. Williams, anxious to see how the baby is doing and to find out the sex," Kagome tells him.
"Okay then, let's get started, let me just put a towel so we don't get any gel on your pants."
He tucked a towel into the waistband of Kagome's pants then gets the gel out of the warmer. Squirting some gel on the transducer, he then places it on Kagome's tummy. Immediately an image of Tony and Kagome's baby is shown on the screen. Dr. Williams is silent for a while as he types information into the computer and takes measurements.
"Alright, the baby is doing very well, everything is developing as it should and the baby is in the perfect position to see if it's a boy or a girl."
"And what is it," Tony asked as he holds Kagome's hand.
The doctor is quiet for a moment, "Congratulations you two it's a boy!"
"A son," Tony whispers. A tear rolls down his cheek as he looks at the screen.
Tony looks down at Kagome and gives her a peck on the lips, "Thank you for this gift," Tony whispers.
"I should be saying that to you, Tony."
"Oh, well, if that's the case, then you're welcome," Tony says with a smug look on his face.
Kagome rolls her eyes and smacks his arm.
Dr. Williams laughs, then he prints out two copies of the ultrasound for each of them. After that, Dr. Williams wipes off the gel, then tells them that he would like to see Kagome once a month for a checkup. Once Kagome has fixed her pants, they go out the receptionist and make their next appointment for January 7th. After that, Tony takes Kagome out to eat, she has a craving for Indian food.
The next morning Kagome comes downstairs and finds Tony talking to Jarvis about schematics for the building a suite for the baby. Since he and Kagome started going out officially Kagome moved into his room so he thought that maybe they could use her old room as the nursery. But then he thought better of it and decided that he was going to knock out the wall next to their room and the baby's nursery next to their room. when the kid got older he could have the one across the hall.
"Tony, what are you doing?"
"I'm designing the baby's nursery suite."
"It's kind of big, don't you think?"
"Of course not, I want our child to have everything he could ever need. Plus where are all his toys going to go?"
"Aren't you going a little overboard?"
Tony looked at Kagome and tilted his head, "I don't think so, do you?"
Kagome took a good look at Tony and realized how happy it made him do this for his child and smiled. "No, Tony, you're not."
Tony nodded and got back to work, he took a drink of his coffee then looked up at Kagome. She was looking at the hologram trying to figure out what exactly she was looking at. He smiled at her and started to explain exactly what he had in mind for the nursery. How he wanted it decorated and what he wanted to buy.
"Okay wait, you can build the nursery how you want it but the furniture and to color, we will pick out together and no the color will not be red and gold," Kagome tells him.
Tony huffs, "Fine, that reminds me I was wondering if you wanted to decorate the house for Christmas? We can buy a big ass tree and everything. I also wanted to invite your mom and brother over for the holidays."
"That would be wonderful, Tony, thank you."
Tony walks up to Kagome and wraps his arms around her, he kisses her sweetly on the lips, "You're welcome, honey."
"How about after breakfast you and I go look for a Christmas tree," Kagome suggests.
"Or, I could order it online, and hire someone to decorate the house."
Kagome thought for a moment, "I tell you what, how about we compromise. You and I go pick out the tree and decorate it ourselves, but you hire someone to decorate the house."
"That sound like a plan, but I order the ornaments online."
"That we can do," Kagome says with a smile.
While Kagome made breakfast, Tony went ahead and ordered the ornaments for the tree online and booked for a decorator to come and decorate the house for Christmas. After breakfast, The both went upstairs to shower and change then Tony called Happy to get the car ready. They met Happy out front.
"Where to, Boss."
"To a Christmas tree lot, Happy, Kagome and I are picking out a tree."
Happy looked at Tony through the rearview mirror and smiled. He had never seen his boss so happy and so domestic before. Not even with Pepper. Normally he had everything done for him, this was a change that Happy really liked.
Happy found a Christmas tree lot not too far away that had a variety of tree to select from. He, Tony and Kagome got out of the car and went inside. The owner of the lot eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Tony. He comes up to Tony and offers his hand.
"Mr. Stark, it's a pleasure to have you in my humble establishment."
"Yeah, hi. My girlfriend and I are looking for the tallest, fullest tree you have on your lot."
"Of course, sir, right this way."
Tony took Kagome by the hand and them along with Happy followed the man into the lot. He showed them all the 10-12 foot tall trees he had. Kagome and Tony walked around until they came across the perfect tree. It was a 12 foot tall Fraser Fir tree. Tony asked JARVIS if the tree would fit in the house.
**There is more than adequate room for the tree to fit inside the house, sir**
"Good," He then turned to the owner and paid for the tree, "Have this delivered to this address."
"Yes, sir, Mr. Stark."
By the time Kagome and Tony got home, the ornaments had already been delivered. Kagome decided that while they waited for the tree she would send an email to her mother inviting them over to spend Christmas with her and Tony. She was also going to tell her mother that they were having a boy. Kagome goes into the library and sends the email. She wasn't expecting a response from her mother right away considering that it was late in Japan.
The tree wasn't scheduled to be delivered until around 2:00 show Tony took the liberty of ordering Chinese food for lunch. He asked Happy if he wanted to join Kagome and him for lunch which Happy accepted. Kagome came downstairs went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"What's all this?"
Tony smirked, "I took the liberty of taking care of lunch today. I ordered all your favorite dishes and even order hot sauce and hot fudge for you, Honey."
Kagome squealed and hugged Tony, "Thank you so much, Tony, this was just what I was craving. How did you know?"
Tony shrugged, "Lucky guess."
They all sat down and began eating, Kagome poured the hot fudge over her noodles and began to happily eat them, while Tony and Happy looked at each other disgusted.
When they finished lunch Kagome went upstairs to take a nap and Tony went to work on one of his suits. Tony was now on a schedule, One week he would work at home on his suits then the next he would go work at the office. It had been that way ever since Pepper left and it was working out just fine for him. This week was work on his suit week.
**Sir, the delivery men are here with the Christmas tree you ordered.**
Tony looked at his watch, "Right on time, let them in, JARVIS, I'll be up in a minute. And inform Kagome that they're here."
**Yes, sir."
A few minutes later Tony comes upstairs while Kagome makes her way downstairs.
"Nice timing, Honey."
"Thank, where should we put the tree?" Kagome asks.
"Wherever you want."
Kagome looks around, "How about by the window close to the piano."
Tony tilts his head, "Yeah, that would be perfect. Guys if you can set it right over here."
Tony shows them where to set up the tree. Once it's set up, Tony gives each man a $300.00 tip.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark, would you mind if we take a picture with you?"
"Sure why not?"
The delivery men pose with Tony and take a few pictures with him.
Thanks again, Mr. Stark, and have a Merry Christmas."
"Same to you, guys."
After they leave Tony goes over to the boxes that were delivered and opens them up. He takes out the ornaments and takes them over to the tree. Kagome looks at the ornaments.
"These are really pretty, Tony, you have great taste."
"But of course."
Kagome huffs and slaps his shoulder, "Alright, enough joking around let's get started. Why don't you ask Happy if he wants to help."
"JARVIS."
**Right away, sir.**
A few minutes later, Happy comes in, "Hey that tree looks really nice there."
"It's going to look even better once it's decorated, so let's get to work."
It took them a few hours to get the whole thing decorated and Tony even had to use his Iron Man suit to get to the top branches of the tree. But once it was finished it looked spectacular.
Kagome smiled at Tony and Happy, "Thanks guys, I really appreciate it."
"You're welcome, Kagome."
"You're welcome, Honey," Tony said as he kissed her head.
