“Hello?” Tony answered, softly climbing out of bed so as not to wake Pepper.

“Mr. Stark? This is Gregory Shaw.” The man on the other line explained.

“Oh. How did you get this number?” Tony asked. He didn’t remember anyone by that name.

“You and your wife went through the training and process to be foster parents. I’m a social worker, and I was calling because I have a child who needs a place to stay.”

“We did that before we knew Pepper was pregnant. I thought she called to update you. We’re not really in a place to take on more kids.” Tony ran a hand down his tired face, glancing down the hall to Morgan’s nursery. He didn’t want this call to wake her. She was in what Pepper called a sleep regression.

“She did. I am running out of people to call, and I was just hoping you’d give it a shot. No one else will even hear me out. I get it. It’s late. No one wants to take in a teenager, but he’s still a child, and he still deserves a home.” Gregory Shaw cleared his throat, “Sorry. It’s not your problem.”

“Wait.” Tony didn’t know why he paused, “Tell me more.”
