    Summary

    When Tony finally took his final, heaviest step through the threshold that the nurse had led him, every thought and every doubt fell silent in his head.

    Summary

    Tony Stark is convinced by his family friend Obadiah Stane to adopt a kid in order to improve the tarnished image of Stark Industries. The media always loves a soft, single dad, so it's perfect to get the PR they need. Pepper is enraged. Rhodey is disappointed. Happy is confused. All of this, Tony expected.

    What he doesn't expect is to bring home a kind-hearted, intelligent, four-year-old kid named Peter who slowly gets him to come out of his egocentric shell.

    "So, there are-" Rhodey began, but was cut off by a thud.

    Or, in which, Tony's son walks (runs) in on an 'important' meeting.
