Tony was a billionaire, philanthropist, genius playboy who with his charm and bold personality won the hearts of many, be it media, board of directors or ladies.

Sure he made mistakes, sure he had that 'I-sleep-around-with-any-pretty-girl-i-see' phase, sure he rectified his actions and stopped just in time so he did not lose another person he loved. Pepper.

But Universe didn't want him to be only the above mentioned. His life changed in a few seconds and to be honest, every morning he thanks the God who blessed him with this change.

Tony sat in his lab, looking at the suit's arm he had been fixing when JARVIS alerted him of a person who wanted to meet him.

"Boss, a Mary Parker requests to see you. The matter is of utmost importance." JARVIS's soft voice broke his concentration and he frowned. Mary Parker... he was sure he had heard this name before bit couldn't place it where.

"Send her up, J." Tony grabbed the dirty cloth from the table and wiped his hands of the grease. He turned around to look at the lab to see if he forgot anything and nodded at himself before walking to the main area.

What he saw made him stop right in track and he felt like he air had been cut off, because he could not breath.

The Woman, Mary Parker stood in front of him with a small bundle in her hands and even though her face was void of any emotions, her eyes were glistening with tears.

She took a deep breath and opens her mouth to say something but some God must be in his favour because Pepper and Rhodes stepped out of the elevator with a concerned look on their face. Pepper paused for a second before she shook her head and walked to stand next to Tony, meanwhile Rhodes was trying to understand the woman in front of him.

Mary chuckled a bit before she rocked the baby in her hand and somehow managed to croak out. "I know this is not what you were expecting to happen today but i need your help." She looked at the billionaire in the eyes showing how serious she was.

"You may chose to believe me or ignore me but i need to do the right thing for him." she looked back at the sleeping baby in her arms, tears streaming down her eyes.

"You might not even remember me but we met in the bio- engineering seminar last year and we talk and one thing led to another... anyways." Mary took a deep breath and walked closer to Tony who was still as a statue. "This is your son, his name is Peter." She traced the baby's nose and smiled as he squirmed and looked back at him, pain clear in her eyes.

"I...I can't keep him because i don't want him to end up in an orphanage so early in his childhood." She let out a sob and Pepper felt her heart squeeze in her chest looking at the new mother.

"What do you mean an orphanage?" She whispered gently recieving a heartbroken look from Mary.

"Before i met Tony and what ever happened, i worked in Oscorp with a fellow friend and they had projects for us... We realised it a little to late that... that the company was a false face for HYDRA and now that we know the truth we all know what was going to happen... what is going to happen." Mary's voice were barely above whispers, her eyes never lifting from the baby in her arms, drinking in his features and the last memory she was going to have about him.

"I know that the moment i leave this tower, my son will be safe and i would at least die knowing he would be taken care off. If you doubt my words about you being the father, please confirm it with a DNA test and- and if you don't want him on your life I-I... I understand." Tony felt the pain in his chest expand as she talked and he looked at the baby in her hands. He was so small and looked so peaceful sleeping. Tony walked closer to the woman and his voice was heavy with the amount of emotions he felt.

"Can I?" Raising his hands, asking to hold his kid. Mary smiled a watery smile at the man and handed him the baby, showing him how to hold a baby properly.

The Gods were with him because the baby stirred around, losing the warmth of his mother and let out a tiny, most adorable yawn before opening his eyes slowly. His beautiful brown Bambi eyes. Tony stood there shocked and transfixed just staring into his eyes. His son. The Baby wiggled a little, closer to his chest before letting out another yawn, for Tony to see his teeth less gums. Tony was in love.

"I-I hope you will take care of him Tony." Mary whispered, tears streaming down her face as she bit back chocked sobs. She kissed Peter on his forehead and inhaled his scent before taking a few steps back.

Rhodes spoke for the first time since he came in, his voice grave yet serious. "You can go to the authorities, you know? You don't have to necessarily die." He stepped closer to his friend who had yet to take his eyes of his son.

" I can't. Because if i do they will come after Peter and i can never put my son in harms way. Please understand." Mary begged as she picked her bag up, small sobs making way out of her mouth.

"I can't because the people who are after us will do anything to kill us. And we have tried to go to the Authorities but it only backfires with threats so i can't." She back away until she was standing in the elevator and Tony looked at her, not saying anything but his eyes conveyed what she wanted to hear and what Tony actually felt.

'I will take care of him.'

After all, he was his son. His little Peter Stark.
