Uncle Phil and Uncle Nick.
There was a call out.
There was a call out and Tony was too little to go.
Steve and Bucky shared a look as they tried to think about what to do when Steve sighed heavily. "I'll call Coulson. Maybe he and Fury can baby sit?" Steve suggests, Bucky glances at their pouting baby in his high chair. They were just about to give him breakfast when the call went off.
"But he gets so nervous as it is" Bucky mutters and sighs seeing Tony wiggle around in the chair with a grumble. "Baby, calm down. You're gonna hurt your self" He ushers. Steve nods a little.
"It's Coulson and Fury or leaving him alone. We can't do that" He says seriously and Bucky groans loudly as Tony yells out in annoyance.
"Big! Bubby I big!" Tony argued, Bucky rolls his eyes.
"Call them" He mutters lifting the squirming baby out of his chair and into his arms. "Shhh baby, I know you want to help but right now you're not big. It's hard I know but can you try to behave for the sitters?" He asks gently. Whilst Bucky tackled calming the grumpy baby he makes the call.
"Steve? Why aren't you and Bucky on the Jet yet?" Coulson's voice echo's through the phone and Steve sighs.
"Tony's really little right now, he can't fight and we need someone to watch him" He says cautiously. "I know you and Fury are busy monitoring but do you think you could do it from the tower and just keep an eye on him? His daily schedule is on the fridge and we shouldn't be too long and-" Coulson cuts him off.
"Me and Nick are on our way. Didn't you say Tony gets nervous around new people?" He asks, Steve can hear 'Lola' starting up and Nick's grumbling in the back round. "I'll ask- How old would you say Tony is right now?" He asked and Steve looks over at his squirming baby.
"Right now? I'd say a 15 to 18 months, he's verbal but it's broken." He states and sighs. "Yeah. We planned a nice little meeting for you guys like we did with Clint but this is going to have to do? What's your ETA?" He asks. Phil chuckles down the phone as Steve hears Fury groan.
"4 minutes, get ready to go as soon as we get there. We can handle a nervous baby boy. Don't worry" The phone hangs up and Steve rushes to his room to get his uniform and shield on. Bucky sets the baby in his play pen, getting a very angry whine from him, as he goes and gets ready to go.
4 minutes later and the two are ready to leave as Phil and Nick arrive.
"All right so he was about to have breakfast when we were called out, he's got a bottle ready on the side and a bowl of banana porridge that just needs to be heated up. He's in the play pen pouting up a storm. His schedule is on the fridge. He can have juice in a bottle between his milk bottles and-" Steve is interrupted by Phil.
"Steve. We know how to handle this, introduce us and then get going." He says quickly, both men following Steve to the play pen where Tony is quietly sat. A very grumpy pout on his lips.
"Ok big guy come here" He lifted the man up into his arms and sighs. "Me and Bubby got to go work, can you be a good boy for Nick and Phil? They're real nice and Phil gives real nice cuddles." Steve mummers into Tony's ear, he was glad to hear a small grunt of agreement. Steve hands the boy to Phil who grunts a little at the sudden weight but smiles at the shy little who looks to his caregivers with big eyes. Steve plants a kiss on Tony's head and mutters a goodbye, Bucky doing the same and soon both were gone and the two S.H.I.E.L.D agents stood with a sniffling baby in their arms.
**********
Nick looked at the schedule whilst Phil sat the boy in his chair, getting the porridge heated up and distracting Tony a little as he sniffled. Nick raised his brow at the schedule.
7.00 - Breakfast and morning bottle
8.00 - Play/TV/Cuddle time.
10.00 - Nap time. Enjoys having his mobile on and being rocked. Try a milk bottle if he won't sleep. Found in the fridge.

19.00 - Bath time
20.00 - Bed time. Loves having stories read to him, let him choose. Milk bottle for the night.
Notes - Tony's Rules are next to this schedule. If he breaks the rules 3 times its a spanking but the first two times it's a time out. First time is 10 minutes second time is 15. He will cry the whole time. If he asks for 'Winnie' it's his teddy that is usually in his crib or front room. Call if there is any problems.
Nick smiled at the sheet and looked at the little boy that squirmed in his chair. He was currently in a red Tigger T-shirt with nothing covering his diaper. Little teddy booties covered his feet and Nick sighed at the sight. "Ok, Tony. Lets get you fed and then you can play" He said softly, the little boy's eyes look at him unsurely as he sniffles.
"Bubby? Papa?" He asks gently and both men feel their hearts melt. Big Tony was anything but cute but Little Tony? He could make butter melt with just a word.
"They're working at the moment Tones. But that's ok because you get to hang out with Uncle Nick and me isn't that cool?" Phil asks, holding a spoon up to Tony's face. The little scrunched his nose up a little in thought and soon opened his mouth. Letting Phil feed him. Nick smiled at the sight remembering his and Phil's littles at home right now. Skye, Leo, Jemma and Hunter where all probably working on a mission Phil had left for them with May over seeing the whole thing. God bless that women. "This looks so yummy, I bet if my Skye was here right now she'd be stealing this from me and you. She's such a cheeky little girl." He coo'd watching Tony open his mouth happily for more.
"Hunter would be wearing it as a hat" Nick comments and Phil grins nodding.
"Jemma and Leo would be trying to control the younger ones but secretly throwing it at each other" Phil comments and Tony tilts his head a little in confusion. Phil smiles gently letting Nick explain as he came into view.
"We have four littles, Tony.
Skye, who also goes by Daisy is around your age in the year to two years range.
Hunter is around two to three years old.
Jemma is usually a solid three but will sometimes slip to two.
Leo is our big guy and three to four." He explains. Tony nods a little.
"Lots'a diapers" He comments and both men chuckle nodding.
"Yeah, their Aunt May likes to comment that we're experts by now." Phil says happily as Tony takes another bite of the oatmeal.
"They nic'?" He asks and the two nod.
"Oh yeah, Skye is just as sweet as you. Jemma and Leo are quiet and like to play with anything they can and Hunter's our little monkey." Nick says sighing.
"Bubby an' Papa wanna fin' nic' lil's. Maybe we ca' play?" He asks and the men smile gently.
"We'll see big guy" Phil gives him the last spoon and wipes his face and hands before lifting the little up. "You wanna watch some TV and play whilst me and Uncle Nick do some work ok?" He asks and Tony nods a little.
"Winnie?" He asks and Nick glances around looking for the teddy.
"Who's Winnie?" Phil asks glancing at the direction Nick moved in before seeing him return with a teddy bear and handing it to the boy who took it and cuddled it.
"Ta" He says happily, Phil felt his heart melt as he set the boy in the play pen, where he was surrounded with toys and a TV on the wall. Phil glanced at Tony.
"What do you wanna watch Tony?" He asks and Tony looks up smiling.
"Friday know' she put my fave' ones on!" He says happily and Phil glances up.
"Friday? Little Tony list please?" He says and the TV soon starts playing Mulan. With a nod the man walks off to speak to Nick.
"They just arrived. Apparently they all think this is something our agents could of handled and after being told about the situation its shockingly clear they are correct" Nick grunts out in annoyance.
"Seriously?" He asks looking over the report. A small Hydra base that had at most 30 men. Phil snorted. "We sent the Avenger's into something that's basically child's play" He mutters and Nick nods.
"Bright side we get to meet little Tony" Nick says with a chuckle, the two glanced in to see Tony happily singing 'I'll make a man out of you'. "Think we can convince the two protective parents to let him meet our littles?" Nick says, Phil sends him a crooked smile nodding.
"Maybe if it's one at a time, or if they bring him to them" He says casually.
******************
Tony's eyes dropped dangerously as Robin hood started. Phil glanced over and smirked a bit, elbowing Nick lightly as he watched the surveillance. It was around time for Tony's second nap and both could see the boy fading fast. "Coin flip for who tackles this one?" He asks, the last nap had meant the men spending 20 minutes rocking the boy back and forwards murmuring sweet nothings to him over loud whines for his caregivers. Nick had finally managed to get him to sleep with a pacifier in his mouth, and telling him a funny story about Steve.
"No I got it. A funny story about Bucky coming up" He mutters lifting the boy up into his arms, Tony gave a low groan and wiggled in Nick's arm. "Calm down Ironboy, it's just a quick nap then you can watch Clint's role model" He promised and smiled as Tony gave a soft giggle. "That's what I thought" He carried the boy to the nursery and quickly changed his diaper before resting him in his crib.
"Funny story?" Tony mumbles gently, Nick smiles at him with a chuckle.
"OK, how about a story of Bucky when he discovered mobile phones." He says with a evil glint in his eyes. Tony grinned up at him and soon the boy was sleeping away.
**************
It was around 2.00pm when the Avenger's arrived, Tony was busy with Nick making a mess with paints and macaroni. The boy was covered in glue and paint when Bucky and Steve arrived. Phil shushes them as he leads them to the two. Tony was currently painting Nick's face bright green. Claiming he gets to be the 'Shrek' because he's always wearing layers.
Steve and Bucky snicker at the sight, glad they changed clothes and showered on the jet. "Iron Baby?" Bucky coo's and Tony looks up in excitement.
"Bubby! Papa!" He squealed and ran over, arms up to his caregivers with paint covered hands. Both men wince at the thought of having to take another shower, but one look at their little boy had Bucky picking him up and cuddling him.
"Did you have fun big guy?" He asks, Tony gives a happy nod. "What'd you make?" He questions and Tony giggles loudly.
"I made urm.....made bunch'a pictur' an-an Unc' Nick and Ph'l Told me bout's their lil's an' an' how Papa blew up a mic-microwa'e whe' he try to make poppincorn an' Bucky throwin his mobile at someon' head whe' he gotsa call!" Steve snickered in the back round and Bucky rolled his eyes.
"You don't say?" He asks, Tony nods happily.
"Wanna's meet their lil's. They say they nice" Tony ends with a huff and the two other men sheepishly smile at the soldiers.
"Jeez. I guess we'll have to huh?" Steve says with a put a pon sigh.
"We'll call you. Go rest, when we got on the jet home Jemma and Leo were banned from the lab because they kept slipping. You'll have your hands full" Steve warns and the two men grin, waving.
"See you guys soon" They say together getting on the elevator and leaving. The small family spend the night having a long bath and going to bed early as they all felt exhausted. Tony managed to steal his caregiver's bed that night.
