"Shhh....shhhh, it's alright, see? Daddy has your bottle right here. Just have to-" and he was struggling with holding Edward and testing the warmth of the milk in the bottle at the same time, but he managed to drip a little on the inside of his wrist. Determining it was the right temperature, he gathered up the bottle, a spit up cloth and the baby and headed upstairs to the nursery, which had spontaneously popped up in the house when everything had returned to normal. There was no baby monitor since Tony had insisted that the crib be in their bedroom for now until Edward was a little older.

When they entered the nursery, it turned into their own little sanctum where he fed his son, quietly rocking him in a chair and sometimes he could be heard singing to him. He put the cloth over his shoulder and settled into the rocking chair, cradled Edward in his arms and supported his head before testing the bottle on his lips. He latched onto it greedily as he watched his father smile down at him, then kiss his little head just near the soft spot. Tony had started to hum as he rocked Edward, and it wasn't long before his little eyes were slowly closing as he ate.

Once Edward had finished, Tony put the bottle down and burped him, then cleaned him up a little before he put him against his chest and rocked him back to sleep, all the while singing to his little boy. "You know," he whispered against his forehead as he kissed it, "Daddy's always going to take care of you and your mother and your sister. It's not going to be like me with my father. You won't lose me and be expected to grow up so fast."

"He falls asleep when I sing but if I'm actually speaking to him, he will look at me like he understands. It's very...strange." It felt like he's peering into his soul and just knew what Tony meant when he spoke. Remy had been pretty exhausted the last few days, which was understandable, and Tony had taken over to help keep the pressure off of her. He did most of the things like change his diapers, feed him when she slept, entertain him. It was like he was made for the role.

He'd stopped rocking, but he continued to smooth his hand down his back and over his head, like he couldn't touch him enough. "Do you want to hold him for a little while?" he whispered to her.

She smiled a bit at that, "Maybe he does. You never know with babies.." she looked down at Edward and then back up at him. For now she wouldn't worry about Tony getting enough rest but eventually she'd be just as worried about him being exhausted when she was sleeping all the time. She didn't want them to be on some weird schedule where she was tired and he was awake and vice versa.

"Yeah sure, as long as you can part with him," she leaned over and got up just enough to take Edward from him and then sit back down in the chair. "We made a very gorgeous baby.."

"Yes, we did. He's going to be beating the girls off of him when he's older." One can only hope he wouldn't spread himself as thin as his dad had with the women. He looked at Remy take Edward in her arms, then leaned back in the chair and watched her hold him, a very content look on his face. "And we still have one more handsome kid to go. Both of our children are beautiful. I think we did very well."

And she couldn't stop touching him either, his face, or the top of his head, or his arms. She liked putting her finger into his tiny little hand as he held on for dear life. "Yeah you're probably right.. though we seem to be beating boys off with a stick with Sophie too so I guess we just have gorgeous kids.. wow.. I can't believe we get another one after this.. well two more sort of.." all she could really think about deep down was that she didn't want to pass the disease onto her kids.

It was funny how his thoughts were far from the disease Remy had and how she may or may not have passed it on to little Edward or maybe even Sophie right now. All he could think about was how beautiful his son was and how equally beautiful his mother was when she held him. "There won't be any beating them off. I'll put cannons at our doorstep to ward them off." She might have thought he was joking, but wait until some kid walked up and rang the doorbell and met a huge pulse cannon. Tony didn't beat around the bush when it came to his kids.

Remy almost laughed but she feared it was going to wake up Edward. Oh she had no doubt that Tony was serious about putting cannons on the doorstep. "I almost feel sorry for those poor boys and girls that come to our house.." Almost. She slowly rocked Edward in her arms, humming just slightly and then moved him so that he was against her shoulder, and she could rub his back. "Did he have a bath today?" she figured so, but she was curious, since she slept away most of the day. Then she got up from her chair just slightly and moved over, nudging him legs apart so that she could sit in between them and put her back against his chest. Edward opened his eyes just barely to peer up at his daddy before shutting them again and yawned.

"Mhmm, everything all taken care of, dear," he replied as he wrapped his arms around her waist, welcoming her against him as he shifted to get comfortable. He kissed her temple and ran his fingers lightly over Edward's head, "I love you so very, very much," he whispered against the back of her head as he buried his nose in her hair, inhaling the scent of her as he hugged her tightly. He honestly didn't know what he'd do without her right now.

Remy didn't think she would ever be this kind of woman, but being here in his arms, holding onto their son she knew that there was no other place she'd rather be in at this moment or any other. She gave a little sigh of contentment, "I love you too.. very very much..." she turned her head a little to nuzzle his neck and kiss his cheek. Edward didn't seem to mind the moving around as long as his mommy kept rubbing his beck. "I should probably take him into work tomorrow and go ahead and do his shots and everything else he needs.." she'd been putting it off long enough.

Tony had never saw himself as a family man, being this settled, but here he was, cradling his wife and son so close to him he could hear the steady rhythm of their breathing. "Do you want me to drive you? Jarvis can mind the house while we're gone." Which Tony had probably only left the house one time since everything had gone back to normal and that was to get every kind of baby thing they could ever need, even if they didn't really need it.

"Yeah, that sounds nice. I haven't told Cuddy I'm coming in but she's told me she's really excited to see Edward.. she really likes babies.." and to be honest, she kind of wanted to show him off. "You know that driving us there means you can't go 90 miles an hour right?" she couldn't help but tease him slightly. It seemed that Edward had finally fallen asleep against his mother's shoulder. "I should put him in his crib but I don't really want to let him go.."

"Having kids really changes your perspective of things, doesn't it?" he mused as he kept dragging his fingers over his boy's head. He was just as bad as Remy, if not worse, about keeping his hands off of him. "Yeah, yeah, I know I can't drive like a maniac. I have to put a car seat in my Audi. It's almost blasphemy to put one in a sports car meant to get you a piece. I wonder if I should buy some kind of family vehicle. Something to drive Edward in exclusively..." He tilted his head and looked down at the two of them, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. "You're going to have to let him sleep on his own. Or we can put him between us in the bed."

She kind of shifted in her seat, turning a bit sideways so she could talk to him easier. "Woah.. woah.. did you just say we should buy a family vehicle? Seriously?" she reached up and put a hand on his forehead, "Are you sick? Because I know you want to be safe but.. I was pretty sure I'd never ever hear the words family vehicle ever come out of your mouth ever. Maybe you really are feeling a little delusional. Or you're a pod person." she kind of hoped that they weren't going to make Sophie feel left out, she knew how much that sucked. "We should put him into bed with us tonight.." because yeah, she wasn't letting him go.

He just pursed his lips and gave her a pointed look as she felt for his temperature in a teasing manner. "Ha ha. I'm not delusional. I just have different priorities now. That's what happens when you actively participate in the miracle of childbirth, which by the way, has not turned me off from your lower extremities in the least." Even if he did pass out at first. "It's getting late. Let's get him up and in bed. I've been sitting in this chair for two hours now and I can't feel my ass anymore. I'd rather be stretched out in my giant bed with my beautiful wife and son."

Him pursing his lips was probably one of the cutest faces he made, not that she'd tell him it was cute. But it was obvious by the way she kind of lit up when he did it. "It didn't? Even if you passed out?" she echoed his thoughts, unable to help herself from that either. "Well I guess that's good since I'm sure our other kids want to be born eventually." ah right, it was really late. Even if she had slept all day. Slowly she got up out of the seat with Edward and let him get up. She made sure she had everything and turned out the light before heading down back to their room and then put Edward down in the middle of the bed on his stomach. "You know he sleeps just like you right? He kind of scrunches up his little legs.."

Following closely, he grabbed up the bottle from the table and dropped the disposable pouch inside of it in the trash before setting the bottle pieces on the changing table on his way out of the nursery. He could get that and clean it in the morning. He watched Edward sort of suck on his little balled up fist, his eyes kind of glancing up in Tony's direction. "My legs don't scrunch up all of the time. He kicks me with his little feet like you," he teased back. Only his feet don't leave me with a bruised shin." Tony crawled onto the bed next to Edward, his hand going immediately to his back and rubbing.

"That's because his feet don't reach your shin.." she pouted at him. "I do not kick you that hard do I? Just look.." his legs kind of scrunched up, kind of like he wanted to put himself into the fetal position but couldn't be arsed half way through. "That's totally you.." she moved onto the other side of their son and laid down. She wasn't that tired, since she'd been asleep most of that whole time. "You should sleep.. you've been up forever.. I'm .. pretty much awake for a while.."

"Sometimes you do, but I just ignore it," he said, biting his bottom lip in that impish sort of way. Staring as the little legs curled slightly, he just shook his head as he moved to lay on his stomach, almost mirroring Edward's current position. "Will you rub my back, too? I promise to fall right to sleep if you do." Which Tony probably would as exhausted as he was, punctuating that thought with a yawn even. His hand played with Edward's little fist until the baby curled his fingers around Tony's thumb and pulled his hand close to him.

Ah well she hadn't meant to kick him. She really hoped there wasn't going to be any kicking in the bed with the baby. "Of course.." she scooted a little closer to both of them and reached across Edward to rub his daddy's back a little just like she would to Edward. Then she leaned over both of them and kissed them good night. "Goodnight you two.." she whispered, pulling the baby blanket over Edward just a little bit so that he wouldn't get cold and then settled back down, though her hand still switched between rubbing Edward and then Tony's back.
