Tony went to go pick up the baby and realized that the baby had about three blankets wrapped around it. Though the baby's lips were still blue from the cold. He immediately wondered how long the baby had been there and where its parent's had gotten to. He stepped away from the car and looked at the baby who started back at him curiously.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked of the baby, knowing that he wouldn't get an answer.

There was a squeal from behind him and some panting. "Oh, thank you!"

Tony jumped as he turned around. He watched with a confused face as a woman stumbled through the snow towards him. In her hands, she held some bottles and what he assumed was formula milk. She tripped a few times, but after about a minute or two she made it to him and the baby.

"Is she yours?" Tony asked, gesturing to the cold baby.

The woman nodded feverously. "Yes! We got stuck in traffic and we're from out of town you see! And I tired nursing her, but the cold…"

"Whoa, calm down!" Tony said as he handed the silent baby to the mother.

The woman took a breath as she rocked her baby. "Sorry, I left because I'd seen a store not too far from here. I had forgotten to pack milk for little Abby. I-I thought she'd be fine if I wrapped her in all those blankets!"

"Tony!" Pepper's voice shouted.

Tony turned around to see Pepper stumbling through his tracks to where they were. She obviously though he was taking too long she had to go investigate herself and when she saw him within good walking distance, she must have decided she was going to join them.

"Pepper, over here!" He shouted back.

The woman looked over to the red head who was heading their way. "Who's she? A girlfriend?"

Tony scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah…"

"She's cute!"

Unconsciously, he nodded his head, most likely in agreement. They stood and waited as Pepper walked up to them, panting. Pepper took a moment before asking what was going on and after Tony explained what happened, with the mother adding something's, Pepper was smiling.

"Awe! She's so cute!" Pepper said poking the baby's cold nose. "You said her name's Abby?"

The mother, Giselle, nodded. "Yep, Abby Lou!"

Pepper smiled and made some faces at the shivering baby. "Aren't you just the cutest?"

Giselle nodded and squeezed the baby in her arms. "Well, it was sweet meeting you guys, but we best be going."

Tony and Pepper nodded. "You staying some place nearby?"

"Oh yeah, just a couple blocks from here, it's a hotel."

"Okay, well safe travels!" Pepper said as the woman and baby left.

The woman waved behind her at the two teens.

"I hope she makes it." Pepper said, and Tony nodded in agreement.

"Now, let's just go, It's very cold."


Rhodey yawned tiredly as he lay in his bed. He wondered if Tony and Pepper were having any fun in the armory. He had to admit that he was a little worried about them, since it was so cold and the armory was normally pretty cold in the first place. Which Rhodey never minded because after all, the cold kept the machinery, namely the armors and computer, running well.

He curled up in his layers of blankets, shivering. It was very cold in the house with no heat nor power. The radio was running on his desk, which kept repeating the weather. More and more snow, that at least looks like it will let up in at least a day, but possibly longer.

He hoped it would stop as soon as possible. Then they could return to school and be warm and go to the armory. Maybe on the bright side, this meant that criminals will have to stay indoors. Unless the criminals took this as their chance to do something and get out of it scotch free.

He wished he could call Tony or Pepper, but of course phone signals were down. He wondered what they must be doing with no power. He assumed Tony had something fun for them to do, but then again, pretty much his whole armory ran off of electricity. But when he thought about it, anything was possible when it came to Tony. He must have had something for them to do.

He shook his head, telling himself that they were fine and probably having more fun than he was at the moment.


Outside


Pepper groaned as she tripped and fell into the snow next to her, again. "Stupid snow."

Tony turned around and chuckled as he helped her up. "You just need to follow my tracks a little bit better, I'm trying my best to make it easy for you."

"Easy for you to say." Pepper grumbled.

"Uh-huh…So you think me trudging through this snow just so you can easily walk through the snow is easy? I've been tripping more than you have." His words were accompanied with heavily chattering teeth.

"Fine, you win." She grumbled out.

She hugged her arms around herself and shivered. Tony just shook his head and walked over to her. He leaned down and gave her a kiss. Even though the kiss was filled with chattering teeth and shaking bodies, Pepper still managed to lose herself in it. She did her best to ignore the cold and the icy clothes scraping against each other.

Tony pulled away, his lips sealed shut. She noticed his face was very pale, and his lips were colored blue from the cold. His hands, which were unprotected from the unrelenting cold, were shaking. She assumed she looked much the same except she had gloves. Not that they were helping, but still she still had something covering them.

She watched as he bent over and scooped her up in his arms. "I'll carry you for a bit, until my arms give out."

She bit her lip. "You sure, what if you drop me?"

"You think I'd drop you?" Tony asked, feigning shock. Then more seriously, "If I drop you I'll be sincerely sorry, and hope that the snow with comfort your fall."

She laughed lightly and raised her head to give him a quick kiss.

Then he continued on their journey to his house.

Well, how was it? Any good?
