Hey Rhodey. What the hell is this?

[Tony is holding the baby awkwardly, hands holding it up under its tiny arms, the rest of its body hanging in the air.]

Jesus Christ it's drooling.

ironmanic December 21 2011, 07:30:46 UTC

Keep this up and I'll just have to force you to watch an episode with me.

awarmachine December 21 2011, 07:42:58 UTC

The horror.

[ The baby'll take that exact moment to burp, too, so Rhodey's face actually matches the words. ]

ironmanic December 21 2011, 07:54:23 UTC

Ugh- how the hell do people live with things like that?

awarmachine December 21 2011, 08:01:59 UTC

Yeah, good question.

[ Holding the baby away a little, just looking at it. Him. ] You got something to wipe this off with? [ He has baby-barf on his shoulder. Or something like it. This is not working so well. ]

ironmanic December 21 2011, 08:10:25 UTC

[He hands Rhodey a handkerchief]

Keep it. A gift from me to you.

awarmachine December 21 2011, 08:12:00 UTC

So generous. [ Wipe, wipe.

And then throwing the handkerchief on a table somewhere and leaving it. And then, more serious: ] What are we gonna do with him?

ironmanic December 21 2011, 08:22:31 UTC

Find a nanny. He can have one of the rooms at my mansion until we figure out the next step.

awarmachine December 21 2011, 08:29:14 UTC

I'm pretty sure I have some paid leave accrued. [ Someone needs to look after the baby. Make sure the nanny's okay.

Also, look after Tony to make sure he handles this okay. Because Rhodey will never not worry about Tony. ]

ironmanic December 21 2011, 08:41:06 UTC

It's not like I have any repairs to do myself.

[Scratches the back of his head. And he doesn't need to attend meetings while Pepper's doing them for him]

awarmachine December 21 2011, 08:42:26 UTC

So.

[ The longest pause. One of them is going to have to say it, and Rhodey knows that's his job. ]

We doing this?

ironmanic December 21 2011, 08:58:01 UTC

For now? Yes.

[Cause in Tony's opinion, there's not room for much else. He wants this thing...to be wanted.]

awarmachine December 21 2011, 09:01:01 UTC

Yeah, okay.

[ Looking at the baby again. They're actually going to do this. Okay. Okay.

He'll worry about it later. Much later. Preferably never. ]

That means you're gonna have to learn how to change a diaper.

ironmanic December 22 2011, 00:41:48 UTC

Or I'll just hire someone to change the diaper and I'll be over there instead.

awarmachine December 22 2011, 17:26:18 UTC

Tony.

[ How's that going to help the kid not feel abandoned? ]

ironmanic December 23 2011, 01:50:03 UTC

Yes, I know.

[Sighs.]
