Months passed.

Eira moved with Tony to a private cabin residence in New York where they were in the forest with a lake in the back. She finally settled down with him.

Bucky and Natasha became an official couple which she gushed over. They also made the decision not to go on anymore missions; they were done with that life. Also, Wanda did use her mind powers again except it was to remove any trace of brainwashing from Bucky; those words that controlled him no longer could.

Everything was peaceful. But Eira was especially glowing because she was growing fat and happy. She was still pregnant even though she had died and came back to life.

Eira had never been happier than while she was pregnant. Everyone awed over her pregnant belly whenever she came to visit; Thor was, especially, funny because when he felt the baby kick he thought he'd hurt it somehow and apologized profusely. He was wary of her swollen belly ever since.

But her happiness ended when she went into labor. It was the worst pain of her life as she performed a natural birth in the hospital. She thought she was dying as she clutched Tony's hand so harshly that he'd lost feeling in his hand. Then her baby girl was born.

"God, she's beautiful," Tony held her in his arms as he smiled before he teased. "You sure she's mine?"

"Do not be sarcastic with me right now," she warned as she still breathed heavily from the birth.

Tony chuckled before he brought the baby over to her, "You want to see mom, little Snow?"

Snow Stark. That was the name they gave her. The little girl had her hair but gained the brown eyes that Tony had.

"My little Snow," Eira said affectionately as she played with her tiny little hand.

Tony smiled before he took her away to hand back to the hospital staff. He placed a chaste kiss on the top of her head before he did so. Their little girl would be in the neonate unit with the other babies while Eira recovered.

Once they were alone, he smiled softly at her, "That wasn't so bad, right?"

She gave him a look, "Tony, I'm not having another one of your kids."

"Ever?"

"If you get me pregnant again, I will murder you," she glared at him.

"Okay, alright. Got it. No more kids," he promised in fear at her murderous gaze.

She and Tony argued over who would be the godparents. But, of course, she got her way and it was decided that Bucky and Nat were.

Little Snow was now five and she was going with Bucky and Nat for the weekend. She ran out the front door excitedly when they pulled up, "Uncle Bucky! Aunt Nat!"

Bucky immediately lifted her into the air which made her giggle before catching her, "Little Snow. My favorite niece."

"I'm your only niece," she pouted.

"Exactly, squirt," Bucky said before placing her back down on the ground. "You're always gonna be my favorite then."

Nat smiled before looking at Eira, "We'll have her back by Sunday."

"Sounds good," Eira nodded before calling. "Snow, behave."

Snow ran over to her and hugged her legs before smirking up at her, "I promise."

Eira leaned down and hugged her as she shook her head, "You are so much like your father."

Snow smiled like it was a compliment before she went back to Bucky and Nat, "Bye, Mama."

Eira watched them drive away before she went back inside. She was thinking about the word only. Only niece. Only daughter. Only.

Tony was in the kitchen and he frowned once he saw her, "They took my little Snowflake?"

She rolled her eyes a bit, "She can't be around you all the time, Tony. She's already inherited your troublemaking."

Tony chuckled before he gave her a intense look, "So we're free for the weekend, angel?"

She blushed before she decided something. She took a deep breath before she blurted it out just as Tony took a sip of his drink, "I want another kid."

Tony spit out his drink in the sink as he coughed. Then he fixed her with a serious stare, "Uh, I distinctly remember you threatening to murder me if you had another kid..."

"I'm not going to murder you," she approached him before looping her arms around his neck and pouting at him. "I want a boy."

"You do realize I can't control the gender, right?"

"It'll be a boy," she said with a resolved tone before she smiled as she brought her lips close to his. "So...why don't we make one?"

He felt like he stopped breathing with her lips so close to his. She was still every bit his weakness and he caved.

"Like I'm going to have a problem with that, angel," he said before he kissed her then he lifted her up by her thighs as she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to their bedroom to try to make another kid.

Their second kid was a boy. She and Tony argued over the name. She wanted to name him Bucky but Tony wanted something to honor Rhodey. So, they compromised and chose the first name of both men.

James Stark. He had her green eyes but a thick head of brown hair from Tony. He had the sweetest soul and every day she wanted to cry because of it.

He was now two while Snow was eight. She took them to the park and James was building a sand castle in the sandbox. But some older kids came and crushed it as they laughed.

James frowned at them with tears in his eyes before Snow came running over, "Leave my brother alone."

Branches from the tree nearby grew and reached down, grabbing the mean kids. They flailed and screamed as Snow glared, "Say you're sorry."

"We're sorry," they all screamed and Snow let them go.

Eira came over as they all ran off and she picked up James. She gave Snow a hard look, "Snow Stark, you do not use your powers on other people."

"They were picking on J," Snow crossed her arms.

"Then you stop them but you don't terrorize them," Eira lectured. "Now we're going home."

Snow huffed and stomped to the car. Eira sighed and James smiled sweetly with a little dimple on one side as he rested his head on her shoulder, "I'll be good, mama."

"I know you will, baby," Eira agreed as she carried him to the car. "Please, stay my sweet boy."

"Always, mama."

When they got home, Snow immediately ran inside and to Tony who picked her up, "Dad! I used my powers today."

"Yes, and tell him who you used them on?" Eira said as she stepped inside with James.

The two year old pointed at his older sister, "Snow was bad."

Snow pouted, "I was defending J. Those kids were being mean."

"You were?" Tony stated before he smiled proudly. "Nice one, kiddo."

Snow beamed before Eira scolded, "Tony!"

"What?" Tony said innocently.

"You could've crushed those kids, Snow," Eira lectured. "You need to be careful about these things."

Snow sulked, "Dad thinks it was cool."

"Oh, really?" Eira said as she smiled. "I believe someone is about to get the tickle monster."

Snow had her eyes widen before she giggled and jumped from Tony's arms. She started running happily to the backyard, "No. Never."

Eira set James down, "Why don't you go be the tickle monster to your sister?"

He smiled before he ran after his big sister. She sighed before she looked at Tony, "You completely cloned her."

"Well, you cloned our son," Tony argued which caused her to smile a bit.

He stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he pecked her lips before smirking, "You know every family argument is going to end in a tie...."

She furrowed her eyebrows at him, "What are you getting at?"

"We should have another kid," Tony blurted out.

Her lips parted in surprise, "Tony..."

"Come on, please," he gave her a pleading, puppy dog look that she could never resist.

She stared at him for a long moment before she kissed him again shortly, "I'll think about it."

_____

They had one last kid.

Mari Stark. It was to honor Tony's mother. Rhodey and Pepper were her godparents. She had the same characteristics as James except she had a bunch of freckles. She also didn't have any powers unlike her siblings.

Instead, she inherited the genius gene. Eira already guessed that one day Mari would be the one to take over Stark Industries and she would be right. That genius side gave her near attacks.

Eira came home one day after picking up the kids from school. Mari was four and hadn't started school yet so she was back home with Tony.

When she got inside and the kids ran to their room, Tony came out holding Mari. She had a huge beaming smile on her face, "Mama, I've decided that I love Dad 3000 today and you're...768."

"Really? What did Dad do that was so special?"

"I built a rocket!" Mari said excitedly.

"You did what?" Eira nearly screeched. "Tony!"

"I was supervising the whole thing," Tony said. "It was fine."

"It is not fine," she lectured as her heart raced. "That's a rocket. That's something that can blow up."

Mari hopped down from Tony's arms. She came over to Eira and smiled softly as she tugged on her shirt, "It's okay, Mama. I'd never leave you."

"You better not," Eira leaned over and hugged her before kissing her on the head.

"Plus," Mari smirked. "I'm too smart, Mama, to build something wrong."

"She kind of is," Tony defended.

"Tony!"

____

But everything was perfect. She and Tony lived with their three kids until they grew up. Snow became an Avenger and was still always impulsive. She went through multiple partners before realizing that the perfect one, her best friend, was right in front of her. Snow got married but she never had kids; it wasn't for her.

James did always stay that sweet soul. He also joined the Avengers and he was more of the peaceful resolution type. But he was only a hero for a couple of years as he fell in love with a fellow hero that had the fire in her soul that he lacked. James settled down and was the only one of her kids to give her grand babies.

Mari only had a few partners that weren't ever intense for her. She realized that she was more content to just be on her own. She did take over Stark Industries and she created world-changing tech just like Tony did.

But as their kids aged, so did Tony and Eira. They grew old together and then one night, it happened. Tony Stark died in his sleep. There was a massive funeral but Eira had a broken heart. The next day, she died of a heart attack; it was James that found his mama.

But Tony and Eira had lived full lives and had gotten everything they wanted. Tony had first thought of her as a Disney princess when he met her in a cave so it only made sense she had her story end in the same way. In the afterglow of meeting each other, Tony and Eira finally got to live happily ever after.
