MARIA STARK'S POV
It was now the twin's 10th Birthday!! Finally, they're in their double digits. They started going to school at 6 years old, the twins have been inseparable since they were born, even at school they never leave each other's sides. In the last 4 years, I and Howard have been throwing a party for their birthday. Though this year we didn't do a huge party. I and Howard thought that it would be safer for the baby to be around a few people, the Jarvis' are here, so as the Shaw's and Peggy. Oh yes, you might be asking who is this baby. Well, I gave birth to a little baby boy, technically I was C-sectioned considering I'm quite old. Alexander Walter Stark is a miracle. The twins love him and they don't even leave his side. Tonia sings Alex her favorite songs like Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba, or Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. I might say Tonia's music taste is so......Unique. There are times where she's into 40s music, or there are times she's into 70s music. It's very unique, she also has a collection of vinyl records, sadly her turn table broke not so long ago. She has been begging for a new one, but we haven't really had the time to go out and buy one since Howard has been busy with S.H.I.E.L.D. We're- well they're finding more recruits who's willing to join SHIELD, they have found a few people but that's about it. Now onto Tony, well Tony reads his little brother stories, it's a cute sight to see honestly. He loves Alex so much, sometimes I find the 3 of them; Tony, Tonia, and Alex, In Alex's room reading him a book "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss. Alex was in his crib while Tony and Tonia are not far from the crib laying down on the floor and Sitting by the wall. It was so cute that I ran to find a camera and took a picture to put up sometime. Now back to the Twin's birthday.
TONIA'S POV
Today is Tony and I's 10th Birthday, I can't believe it. I love Tony with all my heart, You could say he's my best friend. OH AND I have a new brother, his name is Alex and I love him so much, I sometimes sing to him my favorite songs. Oh I have news! I got my first period last week!!! I was not that excited, It wasn't a big deal for me. But Tony FREAKED OUT HHAAHHAa, we were walking home from school with Hilary, Tempy and Marcus, our cousins.
-Flashback-
Tony's POV
We were walking home from school, it wasn't that far. But as we were walking through thee neighborhood to our house when I see Tonia's pants going red since I am behind her I am the first one to see, I freaked out and slapped Marcus's arm and whisper yell at him. "MARCUS WHY IS TONIA'S PANTS GOING RED?!" I said in a whisper yell, "chill out tony" said Marcus. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHILL OUT WHEN MY SISTER IS BLEEDING IN HER PANTS. "Hilary I think Gracey got her period" said Marcus, Gracey is what our cousins call Tonia and they call me Eddie *rolls eyes* I don't really prefer that name but whatever, and they call Alex, Walt. They call us by our second names.
A/n: yes Tony's got attitude
Marcus clapped his face in front of my face "Eddie, give me your jacket" "What?! WHY?" I asked " I need it you dingus" said Tonia. I then gave her my jacket and she put it on her waist, she wasn't even bothered while here I am freaking out. A few minutes passed later We got home she told mom, then we went to the kitchen to eat and that was it.
A/n: Sorry if the pov is quite confusing
-Back to Present time-
TONIA'S POV AGAIN
I was snapped out of the flashback that Tony told me when we got back home that night and i was laughing my butt off, when Tony knocked on my door, "Come In" I shouted. "Hey everyone's here dinner is starting" said Tony, " okay let's go" I said to Tony putting my arm around his shoulder since I'm so much taller than him I'm like 5'2 inches while he's like 4'11. "Hey, Happy Birthday Brainiac" Tony greeted, "Happy Birthday Genius" I greeted back and then we went to the dining room.
3RD PERSON POV
It was now time for gifts, first to give the twins gifts are the Jarvis'. Ana Jarvis gave the twins baking lessons since the both of them have been asking how to make Ana Jarvis' Brownies. The twins loved the makeshift ticket Ana Jarvis made them. While Edwin Jarvis gave them a matching necklace he customized from a store.
(A/n: pretend that the left piece says AGS, the right piece AES, and the one with the S is AWS)
"Thank you Uncle Edwin" said Tonia "Thanks Uncle E, I'll keep Alex's in my drawer for a while" said Tony with a chuckle. "You're welcome" said Edwin Jarvis. Now it was the Shaw's "Here's our gift for you two since your cousins wants to give separate gifts" Felicity Shaw said and handed them their gift. It was a box with something soft inside. "We also added one for Alex, but those 3 are still quite huge so you wont be able to wear them now but you can in the future" said Edward Shaw
(A/n: I'm sorry for the outfit bahahahah it's the only matching thing I could find BHAHAHHA)
Howard and Maria Stark laughed when the twins open the boxes. "HAHAHHHAAH THIS IS HILARIOUS" said Howard. "Oh gosh, we'd looks so stupid in these, nevertheless thank you Aunt Felicity and Uncle Edward" said Tony with chuckles. "Thanks Aunt Felicity and Uncle Edward, I have a feeling that we'd look so dumb in this in the future but it's worth the laugh honestly" said Tonia while laughing.
It took a minute for everyone to stop laughing. Now it was time for their Aunt Peggy's gifts.
Peggy gave Tonia a larger box which put her on a confused facial expression, and then gave Tony another flat looking box, a few of them. "Well I think Peggy is spoiling our kids again" said Howard with a laugh. " Oh come on Howard, as I said before they're like my kids, plus you don't have the time to buy them" said Peggy in a sassy manner, everyone then laughed and get back to the gift again. Tony opened the one he was handed first, when he opened it he saw, a vinyl disc of "Scary Monsters" by David Bowie, The Beatles vinyl record set, and the 1970-1978 vinyl record collection by Black Sabbath.
Both Tonia and Tony loves David Bowie, though Tonia's favorite band is The Beatles while Black Sabbath is one of Tony's favorite band.
Tonia's eyes then widened so as Tony's. "OPEN IT! OPEN IT" Tony shouted at Tonia excitedly. Tonia then obliged and started ripping the wrapper. When she saw the beautiful box of the record player she immediately cried and runs to hug Peggy. "Thank You very much Aunt Peggy, I LOVE IT" she said while crying. "THANK YOU AUNT PEGGY" said Tony running towards Peggy also quite teary eyed since they've been waiting for that for almost last year. "aw no problem, just promise me you'll look after Alex and be a good sibling to each others, okay?" "YES" the twins both exclaimed and went back to their places.
(A/N: here's what the record player kinda looks like so you have a vision)
"OK now time for Mom and Dad's present" said Howard while passing the box to the twins. One box for Tony and one box for Tonia. Once they opened it they started tearing up again. Tony got an AC/DC vinyl set while Tonia got an ABBA vinyl set. "Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad!" said the twins and hugs their parents.
