When: Middle of the night, Christmas Eve
Why: For cuteness
Rating: TBD

Tony was having a having a hard time trying to balance a puppy, a coat, and a briefcase as he struggled to get in the house. Pepper's car was in the driveway, so he knew at least she was in the house, and he was sure she probably hadn't left Matt behind.Trying to be as quiet as possible, he ended up dropping the coat and briefcase on the floor because the puppy wouldn't keep still. Tony had paid the owner of the kennel a lot to get up in the middle of the night and open so he could fetch the little guy. He had wanted him home as soon as Matt and Pepper were there just in case they weren't there when he arrived tonight because he was definitely passing out soon. He was exhausted and jus wanted to sleep, but he would hold out long enough to see them.

Now if he could just get upstairs without the puppy waking them up.

He'll be alright for the moment. I haven't given him any water since I got here." Well Tony knew he liked when she rubbed his tummy so how could the puppy not fall in love with her like the rest of them? Then he gave her the same puppy expression. "I don't get my tummy rubbed? I was the one gone for two days with no one to tuck me in." Though the corner of his mouth quirked because he was clearly kidding. "I think it's time we all went back to bed. I've had a long day and I'm tired. In the morning, we can go out for breakfast or something and play with Santa's presents when we get back."

"Aww, I'll rub your tummy when I tuck you in then, how's that.." she winked at him. No rubbing tummy's in front of the children apparently. Then Matt would want to rub Tony's tummy and that would be just weird. Matt started to pout about having to go back to bed, but Pepper gave him a Look. "You can bring a toy up to bed, just none of the messy ones.."

Matt hm'd some "I has Ketsup?" he asked.

Tony mmm'ed at that idea. "I think I can wait." He liked when she did that. Usually put him to sleep. "You can take him to your room. Better put his food and stuff in there, too." Tony had made a little set of doggie steps to put on the end of the bed so the puppy could climb up and down from it when he had to go to the bathroom and such since his legs were so short he probably couldn't jump without hurting himself.

"I'm comfortable here and don't want to move," Tony whined, but he supposed he'd have to get up and move the puppy's stuff into Matt's room. "Ugh, okay. Let's get Ketchup's stuff as he passed the puppy over to Matt to hold so he could get up off the couch.

"Did you buy any of those pad things to put down for him to pee on?" Cause it wasn't like Matt could get up and take him outside or anything. And the poor dog had to be trained for that. She figured there was something down there that the dog could pee on. In any case, she grinned and got up off the couch.

Making sure that Matt was holding the puppy the right way, she ushered him upstairs. Matt took forever it seemed on the stairs because he had his hands full but eventually made it up and into his room. She just hoped the dog was going to let him get some rest.

"Yeah, I got everything we need for him. They asked if he was going to be house trained so...they loaded me down with whatever I needed." As the two carried the puppy upstairs, Tony went ahead and grabbed a fresh pad and the little stairs and food and water bowls and took them to Matt's room and set everything up for him. Even if the puppy didn't pee on the pad and just on the carpet, it wasn't like he couldn't have it replaced or cleaned. But training a dog was going to be difficult when the poor thing had three masters. Maybe it'd listen to him more since he was the one staying with him the most.

"There we go. He's probably thirsty so let him get some water, Matt," he said as he dragged a puppy bed over toward his own and put the little stuffed toy with his mom's scent on it inside. "You should probably let him sleep in his bed until he's used to going to the pad. You know, so he doesn't pee on you."

Matt didn't want to leave the puppy in his own bed but he didn't want to be peed on either so he just nodded, "Okies.." he said and then climbed up into his own bed. While Tony dealt with the puppy, Pepper went and tucked Matt into bed again, pulling the covers up over him and kissed his head. "Night.. Merry Christmas Matty."

"Mewwy Cwimmus Peppy" he beamed back. Then she turned to make sure that Tony was all right with the dog. "Goodnight you two.." she said to both the dog and her brother and then took Tony's hand so they could go to their own room.

After Tony had taken a blanket and bundled it up around the puppy, he bent down and kissed Matt on the head before Pepper took his hand. "Good night, Matt," he said, switching off the light and closed the door so the puppy wouldn't wander out in the middle of the night. "Now can I have my belly rub?" he murmured as he wrapped his arms around her, following her close as they stepped into their bedroom.
