"Last time Stark. Last time." Clint announced as he walked into the room with two bags in each arm.
"What is all of that?" Steve asked as he sat on a stool with James on his lap.
"Drinks for the adults." Tony answered.
"Your cabnet doesn't have enough?" Natasha remarked.
"Hey. There's plenty. But even that may not hold Thor and Capsicle. So, in honor of New Years, I sent bird boy to get all of the good stuff." Tony explained as he stood behind the fridge door.
"Good attempt but let's see if it'll work." Bruce said.
"I think it might at least make them feel buzzed." Tony said as he walked over to Steve with something behind his back. "And for the pipsqueak here. This."
The inventor brough out a bottle that held what looked to be chocolate milk.
"Tony!" Natasha exclaimed.
"Come on. It's New Years. Even he can have a little something." Tony said as he handed the bottle to the infant who right away began to drink the milk as if he hadn't been fed all day. "See. He likes it."
"May be a sign of things to come with how he's drinking it too." Clint said as he watched with amazement as James quickly drank the chocolate milk.
"Then I pray that he inherited the serum." Steve said as he helped his son hold his bottle.
"I blame you." Natasha said giving Tony a small shove.
"Me?" Tony exclaimed.
"You've around him a lot." Bruce said. "Maybe he picked up on your love of drinking."
"He takes after me?" Tony questioned then lightly smiled at the thought before getting slapped upside the head by the child's mother.
"He turns out anything like you, you're a dead man." Natasha warned. "I want James to be like his father."
"Natasha." Steve tried to speak but was cut off by his wife.
"No one stick up for Tony. There is no way that I am going to allow my only son to become a playboy or fly around in a metal suit. If he's going to take after anyone it's going to be his father."
Clint took a bottle from a bag, opened it and took a gulp. He knew how Natasha got when she went into protective mother mode. He was just glad that he wasn't the one hearing it from her this time.
"Hey, I'm with you all the way about him taking after Capsicle. But what if we just made him a little something to..."
"No!"
"Good thing New Years is still a few hours away." Bruce said.
"Either way, with this crazy little family of ours, I think this is the perfect way to ring in the New Year." Steve said as James quickly polished off his first chocolate milk.
