Now Tony was waiting outside the door with Rhodey and Carol.Both trying to confront a father who's baby was having a heart surgery and they had no idea how because none of them had kids and none of them knew what Tony was going through.

They had been waiting for hours now and it was 8 in the morning.Some doctors would come in and out but none of them would inform about Peter's conditions.The only thing they knew was that Peter was alive and that wasn't for sure anymore.

The moment Tony had just stopped shaking and was trying to take a nap in Carol's lap the doors opened and a doctor walked out.Tony sat up like he had sensed it from his light sleep.

"The baby's father?"-The doctor asked softly.

"Me!How's my baby?Is he alright?"-Tony asked hoping his voice didn't sound depressed and sad.

"We did everything we could to make his heart work ...but he needs a heart transplant.For the moment we are keeping him alive with machines and pipes.But if we don't find a heart we can lose him."-The doctor informed.

"Where can we find a heart, does mine work?"-Tony asked as Carol put a hand in his shoulder.

"I am sorry to say that it doesn't work this way.He's just a baby and he needs another baby's heart.We will try and find a baby who died in a controlled death as fast as possible.We would need you to complete some papers and we will start looking for a new heart."-The doctor said.-"Follow me this way please."

Tony followed leaving Rhodey and Carol behind the door.

➳ In another place...

Mary and Richard where sitting in the table.Their hearts shattered in peaces.Their little baby had died.And nobody couldn't do anything to save him.

May was trying to confront them.She was Richards sister and a nurse at the hospital where the baby died that way she was with them all the time.She as well had dried tears in her eyes.May had loved Peter Parker more than everything...as her own but now he was gone.Forever!

"Mary and Richard Parker?"-Another nurse called.

Their heads both looked the same way.-"Yes?"

"Can you follow me to the office please.We need to do some paper works and you will be free to go!"-She said and they both followed the nurse to the office.

"We would like to ask...Would you like to donate the functional organs to save other sick babies lives...I know it is to much to ask but there are other babies like Peter Parker who need to live!"-The nurse asked kindly.

Mary left out a sob.And Richard shared a look as Mary nodded.-"Sure...we don't want other parents to go through the same thing as we did."-Richard said and threw a shaky signature.Mary did the same.

➳ With Tony...

He was still behind the door.It was 6 in the afternoon and no news on finding a new heart.His hopes where starting to fade when the doctor approached to him.

"We found a new heart for Peter...We are taking him to surgery immediately!"-The doctor informed before Tony hugged him and patted his shoulders in relief.-"But we can't promise more than 50% chances of him living."

"I don't care it is enough for me!More than 0% is enough to me!"-Tony repeated than he looked over to the bench where Rhodes and Carol where napping slightly and went over to give the happy news.

➳In another time.

It was 11 pm...The baby had been in surgery for more than 4 hours now.Some nurses would come in and out and give small informations.

Waiting behind the door was devastating and really killing.Tony was sitting on the cold ground refusing to sit in one of the chairs a couple meters away.Carol had went to get coffee and Rhodey was still napping to tired to open his eyes.

The doors opened and another doctor came out.Tony sat up in the speed of light.-"We are having complications and the baby's body may not cooperate with the new heart but we are doing everything in our power to make it better!"

Tony's heart dropped sad again.All the hope he was living with was going down and down.He couldn't still believe that his baby was dying.He was too small!Too young to die...his life had just bloomed!

Carol came with the coffee.Tony took the 7th coffee for the last 5 hours and drunk it all down and said a faintly Thanks which Carol couldn't even hear good.

Rhodey woke up and took his coffee knowing it wouldn't work anyway.Tony was staying strong like a stone.His emotions bottled up not wanting to look weak.His baby would be okay...He had too! 'A Stark is always strong!'-Howard had said to the young Tony.And he wanted to believe it.

➳12 o clock midnight.

The doors opened one more time.The doctor who talked with Tony the other times.His face was sad and his movements where slow.

Tony sat up one more time.His face filled with dried tear ways and his eyes red from not sleeping.He walked to the doctor.

The doctor was silent.He placed a hand in Tony's shoulder and tightened the grip.

Rhodey knew...He walked near ready to catch Tony if he fell.

"Tony..."-The doctor started.

He understood it from his eyes.He didn't wanted to believe-it.-"No...please no...Say no please...!"

"We tried Tony...we truly did!"-the doctor said but Tony wasn't even listening anymore.-"He had a passive death.He didn't feel any pain."

Tony sat against the wall and slowly started to fall in the ground.Tears tolling down uncontrolled.His baby was gone...Gone Forever?!

In the day he came?The day that made him the happiest person in the world!The day he saw for the first time those doe eyes.

He wouldn't listen to his indescribable mumblings around the house...the small walking around with his small baby steps.He wouldn't play with his favorite red and blue toys...and wear his favorite onesies.Tony left out a sob.Carol made her way and took him in her arms.Hugging him for confront and holding him in her shoulder to cry.

Rhodey walked away with the doctor probably to take care of the paper works which Tony wouldn't be able to do these times soon.

"Shhhh...He's with-the angles.Exactly where he belongs!"-Carol said also sobbing silently.Tony was fully crying,not stoping any tear or any sound coming from his hurt-and shattered soul.

➳In another room...

The baby's lifeless body was laying down in a small bed among with the other deceased baby Peter Parker who donated his heart,which now was in Peter Stark's body.

"Two Peter's...Can you believe how unfortunate these babies where ?"-A nurse said as she placed the name tags in the lifeless bodies.

"Remember me to not call any of my kids Peter...I don't want the to have Peters luck!"-the other nurse said making the place ready for transportation.

"Don't mess up the name tags Bestie."-The other nurse said as she took the weel-bed to the transporting ambulance.

"Don't mess up the babies.Peter Parker is going to the Intel hospital where he was taken from and the other baby start making him ready..."-The nurse who was placing the name tags said.

"Aye aye Bestie!"-The nurse said and took baby with the tag Peter Parker in his wrist.

➳In the Intel hospital...

May was going to take a last look.She wasn't ready to never see her Peter anymore.-"Has the heart transplant donator baby ambulance come yet?"-She asked.

"Yes it has.The baby is transported at the conserving room."-The nurse said and May made a run through the hallways knowing if she got caught of work she would be fired.

She opened the door and the baby covered with a white sheet appeared in front of her.It was warm in the room.Thats why they call it conserving room.It helped with the body warmth conserving which allowed the bodies to stay unharmed.Like a embrion warmth.

She walked slowly to the table tears running through her face.She had really loved that kid.Knowing that Mary was almost all the time sick after the birth she had made a connection with the baby.

She placed her soft hand against the cold sheets and was about to leave when she felt a small, faintly and really silent...HEARTBEAT?!!
