The next morning Tony woke smiling. He was home and it as nice. He then frowned when he realised it was before eleven o'clock. Tony groaned and rolled himself out of bed and into the shower for a wash. He was pleased his legs would take his weight now. Once his shower was done he got dressed and strolled into the kitchen to find the other Avengers already in there. "Do you guys ever sleep?" Tony asked eyeing them. They all jumped of course making Tony laugh slightly.
"Not funny Stark!" Clint snapped. Tony flinched and pulled his hands to his chest.
"Sorry," Tony mummbled and looked at the floor.
"Come here Tony," Steve said causing Tony to look up and see his Godfathers ams open for him. Tony smiled and placed himself in Steve's arms. "Clint hasn't had his coffee this morning," Steve whispered. Tony nodded and yawned.
"Why am I awake?" Tony asked as he plonked himslef into a chair at the table.
"Cause you missed us so much in your sleep," Peter said as he shoveled a large forkful of pancake in his mouth and swollowed.
"Lovely Pete," Tony said scrunching up his nose.
"Sorry Tony," Peter said smiling. Tony smiled aswell and threw a raspberry at the boy. "HAY!" Peter giggled and threw a strawberry at Tony.
"Boys thats enough," Steve said as he passed out coffee to most of the adults in the room.
"Sorry Steve," Tony and Peter said at the same time and then grinned at each other.

After breakfast Tony sat in the livingroom in-front of the TV with the others. For lunch they had sandwhiches and crisps. After that Natasha, Clint, Thor and Peter went to train in the gym. Bruce went to the lab, Steve was cleaning the kitchen and Tony was once again in-front of the TV. Soon he began to feel tired and his eyes dropped. He lay down and soon fell asleep.
Once Steve had finished cleaning the kitchen he desided to join his Godson only to find him fast asleep on the sofa. "Oh Tony," he sighed with a smile on his face. "Come on," Steve muttered and picked the man up and took him to his room.

An hour into sleeping Tony began to toss and turn. Sweat beaded on his forhead and he frowned, his breathing eccelertaed and his hands clenched. Soon he shot up and curled up in the corner of the bed with his hands over his ears and his eyes screwed shut.
Meanwhile down stairs Steve was helping Bruce with dinner when JARVIS's voice rang out. "Sir Mr Stark seems to be in a great deal of distress."
"I'm on it," Steve said and rushed up to Tony's room. When he saw the way Tony was curled up Steve panicked. He ran to the bed and grabbed Tony's wrists. "Tony? Tony? Tony whats wrong?" Steve asked. Tony gasped and looked at Steve. Imidiatly Tony calmed down.
"Nothing. Just a bad dream," Tony replied.
"Of what?" Steve asked. Tony sighed and desided he could trust his Godfather so desided to tell him.
"I was back in the cave. I was being drowned to get me to do what they asked me to do. But it wasn't them doing it. It was dad,mum was there two looking at me with disapointed eyes. The team was there too, they were laughing and you sneered at me. Pepper was standing sneering beside a ghost of Rhodey. He said 'your the reason I'm dead Tony.' Then another ghost appered. It was Peter, but not how he is now. He said 'I'm dead because you couldn't save me. I hate you' and then to make it all the more worse. I heard a baby cry. My dad jerked my head to the side and I saw. . . I saw Obi holding a crying child and saying 'you'll never get this one back Tony.' and then he. . . he cut the baby's head off. The child was mine Steve. I think Pepper is pregnant and she's not going to tell me." Tony said looking at Steve.
"It's OK Tony. It didn't happen. Your safe." Steve said and Tony nodded.

Later Steve called Pepper. "Hello?"
"Pepper hay," Steve said.
"Steve hi w. . ."
"Are you pregnant?" Steve asked cutting Pepper off. There was a pause and then a sigh.
"How did you know?"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you're not going to tell Tony that he has a child!" Steve said.
"No he doesn't! he doesn't deserve this child! I will not let him distory this like he has everything else! I will not let my child die beacuse of Tony! not like Rohdey!"
 "You know it wasn't Tony's fault Rhodey died Pepper! Did you know Tony tried to commit suiside beacuse of that? He would have done if we hadn't found that JARVIS had been switched off and that Bruce couldn't do CPR!" Steve screamed. "IT'S YOUR FAULT I ALMOST LOST Y GODSON!" there was another long pause.
"That's not my problem. The child is already born and Tony will have nothing to do in the childs life!" with that the line went dead and Steve had a rising feeling of dread so contacted Director Fury.

A week later Steve, along with several S.H.I.E.L.D agents, was stood outside the falt Pepper was staying in. They had hacked into the security systems and what they had seen was not promising. Pepper was neglecting the child. "Miss Potts open the door!" Fury said. A baby's cries could be heard but no other sounds. Fury nodded and Steve broke down the door. Everyone ran in. The room was full of smoke from cigaretts lying in an overflowing ash tray from the man Pepper was staying with. There was empty takeaway boxes strewn all over the place. The place was a dump. The agents scowerd the building and Steve walked over to the cardbored box in the corner where he knew the baby was. Sure enough there was a tiny baby in nothing but an overflowing nappy and nothing else on. There were ciggaret burns covereing the tiny body and he was malnutrisioned. Steve picked up the child and wrapped it in a blanket. Just then the door slammed open and two drunk people stumbled into the room. One being Pepper. When she saw Steve she stopped giggling and turned an angry shade of red.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" the other agents ran in then and detanined both Pepper and the man.

Tony ran into the S.H.I.E.L.D base and demanded to see his child and his Godfather. An agent led Tony to the medical bay where he saw Steve giving Fury a staitment next to a baby's cot. Tony walked over numbly and looked inside. Tears pricked his eyes at he sight of the baby's ribs and the burn marks littering his body. Then Tony noticed the small tuft of brown hair on the baby's head. Tony sat in the chair next to the cot and fell asleep.
He was soon woken however by a crying sound and people shouting. Tony looked up and saw his child being passed from person to person. Tony snatched his child into his arms and imidiatly the baby just went to whimpering. Tony saw his own eyes looking back at him. Tony smiled and then looked up at the nurses and docters. "What's it's name?" Tony asked as he still didn't even know the gender.
"He doesn't have one. No one but Mr Rogers seemed to know he excisted." Once nurse replied.
"Aparently he phoned Miss Potts when you had a dream about a baby who looked like you. She had to admit it and he informed S.H.I.E.L.D and so one so forth," she added. Tony nodded looking calm but inside he was fuming.
"So can I name. . .him?" Tony asked in awe. He had a son.
"Of course," the nurse smiled. Tony looked at the baby and smiled.
"Sherlock. Sherlock Steve Bruce Clint Peter Phil James Stark," Tony said.
"Fan of Sherlock Holmes?" the nurse asked with a raised eyebrow. Tony smiled.
"My mother used to read them to me when I was little." Tony replied.
"Godparents?" she asked and Tony sat to think.
"Bruce Banner and Natasha Romanhov. But only if they wanna," Tony replied.
"Well why don't you go and ask them. The little one is free to go as long as you keep an eye on him," the nurse said gesturing to the newborn who was curled up in Tony's arms. Tony nodded and left to find the before mentioned people. He found everyone in the confrence room.
"Hi everyone," Tony said smiling and they all looked at him.
"What's it's name?" Clint asked gesturing to the now sleeping baby in Tony's arms.
"His name is Sherlock Steve Bruce Clint Peter Phil James Stark," Tony replied. "Natasha Bruce I'd like you to be Godparents," Tony added.
