《To Be A Dad (Irondad and Spiderson)》4: First Words and Bath Time
Advertisement
Tony was laying on the couch with Peter sitting on his chest. He laughed when Peter patted his face. The goatee had been a bit new, and the kid so far loved it. Peter was starting to learn about feelings and new foods and started pointing to things he wanted. He was just so cute. "Dada." Peter smiled brightly as Tony stared at him in surprise. Rhodey and his new assistant Pepper looked over when they heard the word come out of the baby's mouth.
Tony smiled brightly and placed a kiss on Peter's forehead. "Yeah! I'm dada! Rhodes, he said his first word! And it was dada!" Tony jumped up with Peter in his arms. Pepper and Rhodey looked at the father, amused by his actions. Peter kept giggling.
"Dada!" He spoke again, grabbing Tony's shirt. The billionaire kissed the child's cheek again, laughing when Peter tried to kiss his cheek as well.
"How cute," Rhodey said as he took a picture of the two. "Have you told Obadiah yet?" Rhodey asked as Tony kept kissing Peter and the child laughed at his father's antics.
"No. He'll think Pete's a distraction and will probably force me to give him up for adoption." Rhodey sighed but nodded. Tony looked at his best friend, smiling. "Pete needs a bath." Rhodey groaned and grabbed his nephew.
"Geez really? Now?" Tony shrugged a smirk on his face. "Go grab the towel, you're helping!" Tony sighed, he hated giving Peter a bath, not only did the kid cry but looked at Tony with the saddest eyes. "Hurry up Tones!" Rhodey yelled as he walked to the bathroom.
Tony went into Peter's nursery and picked up some warm clothes and a light blue towel before heading to the bathroom. Rhodey had Peter sitting on a little mat, decorated with ducks, and was filling the tub with a small amount of water. Tony sat down next to his best friend, frowning at Peter's sad face. "You're making him sad," Rhodey spoke as he gently splashed Peter with water.

Tony turned to glare at him. "Me? You're the one who's giving him a bath." Rhodey rolled his eyes and splashed Tony instead. Tony gasped and stared at Rhodey as the man continued to clean Peter. Tony reached into the bath and splashed Rhodey who jumped away from the tub.
"Seriously? Oh, you are so-" he tackled Tony, grabbing the small cup he was using to rinse Peter and dumping it on him. Tony laughed and shoved Rhodey off of him.
Pepper was preparing lunch when she heard the laughter coming from the bathroom. She had only been around for two weeks and was used to the two messing around. She sighed and started her way upstairs to the bathroom. Sure enough, there was water everywhere and Peter was clapping and giggling, repeating 'dada', as Tony messed around with Rhodey.
"Do I need to start bathing Peter?" She asked as she stared at the two men in front of her. Both looked at her, small guilty smiles on their faces as the two looked around. Peter giggled again, reaching out for Tony. Tony sighed and chuckled.
"No, we'll finish here and meet you in the kitchen." Pepper nodded and smiled. Rhodey shoved Tony one more time before wrapping Peter up in the towel and leaving the room. Tony laughed and drained the tub before following them.
Tony dried and changed Peter while Rhodey went to go change and meet Pepper downstairs. "Alright kiddie. Do you think we can keep this a secret between you and me? No one needs to know me and uncle Rhodey are weird. Well, people can know Rhodey is weird." Peter giggled, and placed both hands on Tony's cheeks.
"Tony! You have to clean the bathroom!" Rhodey yelled, causing both Tony and Peter to look at the door.
"You started it!" He yelled back before walking out of the room and going downstairs. Peter reached out to Pepper when he saw her and the women were more than happy to hold him.
"So? Your bathroom." Tony glared and shook his head. "Fine rock paper scissors?" Pepper sighed and started walking to the table, leaving the two arguing when Rhodey won.

8 199Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
