《To Be A Dad (Irondad and Spiderson)》2: I Can Be Better
Advertisement
Tony sighed as he rocked back and forth with his son. Peter was a sweet baby, nothing too much to handle. He would sit in his lab while he worked or played with some toys. He was an easy-going kid and Tony was afraid to admit he fell in love with him. It's only been three weeks and Tony was attached. One week after Mary had dropped Peter off, Tony had confirmed that Peter was his. A week after that, Tony found out Mary died, killed when asked for information about Stark Industries' and about Tony himself. The billionaire felt incredibly guilty when he heard the news, hating that such a wonderful woman died because of him. Either way, he had to keep going especially for Peter.
Rhodey had met Peter during that week, confused as to why his best friend ran away from New York and went back to Malibu. Rhodey was surprised, to say the least. He stuck around and helped Tony out but even then his best friend made the decisions. Rhodes was shocked by how mature Tony was becoming, he didn't party or drink as much and spent most of his time with Peter.
So he was surprised to see Tony putting Peter to bed, wrapping the child up in a fluffy blanket. Tony motioned him to follow and then sighed when they were in the living room."So you're really doing this dad thing huh?" He asked when Tony grabbed two water bottles and threw one at him.
"My dad was cold. He never did anything with me and always put me down, his father was exactly the same, so I have a chance Rhodey. I can change this whole cycle of shame and I can do better. I'm not going to abandon my kid, not when I can support and help him. I'll make sure he knows he's loved and cared for instead of being an absolute jerk like my dad. Now help me get rid of all this alcohol." Tony turned to his bar, ready to get rid of all the drinks that sat on the shelves.

Rhodey smiled and walked over. This kid was really going to help Tony and he couldn't be happier.

Tony walked back into Peter's room, according to JARVIS, Peter should be having two naps a day, an hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Tony made sure JARVIS reminded him of when to start putting Peter in his crib and when to wake the kid up.
It was time for Pete to wake up and have some oatmeal Rhodey had prepared for him. Tony smiled when he saw Peter was awake and had reached out to him. "Hi, baby." He spoke softly before picking him up. Peter giggled and hugged him. Tony was sometimes worried about how small Peter was, but at the same time, Peter was adorable. All chubby-cheeked and smiles, he loved hugs and soft stuffed animals, the kid was precious. "You hungry?" Peter made a face, almost trying to understand what he was saying.
"Uncle Rhodey made oatmeal, I'm sure you'll like it." Tony kept speaking, smiling at the way Peter responded with different faces to each word. His kid was just too cute. "Don't worry kiddie, I'll make sure you're never alone." He whispered making Peter smiled and hide his face into his shoulder.
Tony hoped Peter understood that.
