Bruce took the picture of Clint holding the newborn James.
"Alright Bruce, you're next." Tony declared taking the camera from the doctor.
Bruce smiled as Clint stood and carefully placed James in the doctor's arms. Tony watched as a smile spread across Bruce's face as he held the child with ease. They were all aware of how Bruce helped women in other countries deliver their babies, so Bruce was sure to have plenty of knowledge and experience when it came to holding a newborn.
"Smile." Tony said as he held the camera.
Bruce smiled down at James and blinked when the flash went off. He saw spots for a few seconds but they quickly cleared.
"Alright, who's next?" Tony asked. "Point Break? How about you?"
"Lady Natasha, would it be alright for me to hold your child?" Thor asked the new mother who sat in her hospital bed.
"Of course Thor." Natasha answered with a smile. "I would be very happy if you held him."
"I'll show you how to hold him." Bruce said walking over to the thunder god. Slowly, he showed Thor how to properly hold James and support his head.
It was an adorable, and slightly humorous, sight to see. James was tiny as it was but as he was held in Thor's muscular arms he practically almost vanished.
"He is a very handsome child." Thor mused with a smile.
"Sure is." Tony agreed as he brought the camera up and took a quick picture.
"When he grows, may he join me on trips to Asgard?" Thor asked. "I would very much like for him to meet my father and learn the ways of a warrior."
"He can meet your father but we're going to have to think about that learning to be a warrior part." Steve answered taking his child in his arms. "Who's left? Tony!"
"Ah...No. I don't think that would be a good idea." Tony said putting his hands up.
"Everyone else got to hold James. It's your turn." Natasha stated.
"Guys, I really want to but...I can't." Tony said.
"Of course you can." Steve said walking over to the billionare. "I trust you."
"Ah! You said the t word." Tony said turning around, paced a few steps and then turned back. "Ok. Hand over the future second American golden boy."
Steve smirked and carefully handed his child to his friend.
Tony looked a little hesitant and nervous but otherwise seemed at ease holding the baby.
Clint snatched the camera and aimed it at Tony.
"Say cheese." the archer said.
"Smile kid. You're gonna make me an even bigger role model." Tony said holding James closer to his face.
"The only thing he's going to help you with is the father appearnce and get Pepper onto you more about marriage and kids." Natasha said as Clint took the picture.
"Then I guess you better take him back before she decides to walk in. If she sees me holding him, she'll start to get ideas." Tony said carefully giving the new mother her baby.
Natasha chuckled as she held her son. She knew that Pepper was still trying to convince Tony to walk down the aisle and for them to one day have children to call their own. Unfortunately, Tony was still hesitant because he feared that he would turn out like his father even though the others pointed out that he hadn't recently lost anyone that would cause him to spiral out of control like Howard.
"So what are you going to do if Pepper sees the picture?" Clint asked.
"We can keep it but I'll have Jarvis alert me if any of you have it in your hand and you're within thirty feet of Pepper." Tony answered, causing everyone to laugh.
Clint walked over to Natasha and looked down at the infant.
"Kid, you are going to make life so much more fun and interesting." he said.
