“You probably should’ve said something before now,” Bruce said, bouncing Rebecca gently before cradling her in his hands.  Gently, he laid her down in the small bassinet, remaining quiet for a moment as he made sure she was going to stay asleep.  When she did, he sighed and turned to Tony, a smile on his lips.  ”I do know what you mean, but we’ll do our best.  Maybe Pepper can offer advice when it comes to…girl stuff.”  He shrugged a little, walking to the closet as he began unbuttoning his shirt.  Returning a moment later, he was dressed in a t-shirt and comfortable, cotton pants.  They weren’t going anywhere for a while, so he figured he might as well be comfortable.  ”Why don’t you change so we can rest.”

“Hmm?” Tony asked as he heard Bruce’s voice, having been sitting on the edge of the bed staring at their daughter while his fiance had been gone, silently promising her that he would be the best daddy that he could be, even if he was terrified. “Pep can be her godmother, right? I can’t think of a better woman for the job” he smiled at Bruce, before looking back at their daughter again “I think between us all, our little girl is going to be able to kick ass and take names, and look beautiful while doing so”

“Of course Pepper can be her godmother,” Bruce said, tugging on the hem of his shirt as he crawled onto the bed.  Dropping heavily onto his back, he sighed and stretched, looking up at the ceiling as he brought a hand behind his head.  ”She’s going to have a lot of people looking out for her, that’s for sure.  A whole team of superhero aunts and uncles.”  Smiling thoughtfully, he glanced at Tony.  ”She’ll be strong and smart.”
