"Tony come meet your daughter." The brunette called out for her husband who was impatiently pacing up and down the small hall of the hospital. Without a second of hesitation the man rushed, in ecstatic to see his first child.

The young woman laid in the bed, exhausted but happy to see her bundle of joy. Not taking her eyes off her for even a second.

Her teary eyes soon met her husband's as she cradled the crying child. "Do you want to hold her?" She whispered, emotion thick in her voice.

Tony gently held the child from his spouse's arms and slowly cradled her as he quietly shushed the infant.

"She's beautiful Evie." He muttered. "And her name is?""Madelynn. Madelynn Maria Stark. After her grandmother." She smiled at him with a tear rolling down her cheek. "She's perfect." He responded.

Tony approached his wife and gently kissed her forehead before sitting next to her on the bed where they cuddled and watched their child in awe.

Tony's POV

Madelynn and I had spent the last few hours designing and constructing new designs for a new suit that was on my mind since yesterday.

Although she was young, she and I both shared the love of engineering and making designs for new prototypes. She wasn't as outgoing as I was just, like her mother. She was perfect in my eyes and anyone else's who could see.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when an electric shock went through my fingers. I winced and could hear the sweet laughter erupting from Madelynn causing me to smile. "Dad focus or you'll get shocked more often." She smiled wiping away her tears.

"Whatever you say chief." I said glancing at my watch to check the time, only to notice it was 10 pm. "Lynnie time for bed." "I'm not tired. A few more hours please we're so close to finishing."

"You know I'd love to but mom wouldn't like it if you're tired tomorrow, then no more time in the lab." She groaned quietly laying the screwdriver she held onto the table.

She stared at me with her adorable y/e/c eyes,similar to her mother's, before getting off the stool and making her way to the door. "Are you coming?" She asked with a slight giggle at the end. I got up and took her to her bedroom which was a door away from mine.

She quickly nestled her way into her bed as I sat onto a nearby stool to tell her a story my parents used to tell me as a child.

"... the end. So the moral is?" "To always learn from my mistakes." "Clever as always." "I love you 3000 goodnight dad." "I love you 3000 'night Lynn."

I kissed her on top of her head before turning off the lights and heading to my room.
