Addy raised a disapproving eyebrow. "You better be this nice to your only girlfriend, buddy." she said.

He raised his eyebrow questioningly, "You're not my girlfriend," he said seriously. Pausing for a few seconds he continued, "You're my fiancee and my future wife." He smiled and quickly added," but yes, you are my one and only."

"I better be," she threatened lovingly. "You've met my father, right?"

"Yup..." he said remembering the encounter a little too well. But he didn't regret it, it turned out rather amazingly in his opinion.

Addy shook her head smiling, and heard a loud knock at the door. She looked up to Tony. "Were you expecting anyone?" she asked.

"No..." He said slowly. Pulling his wand from his pocket he made his way to the door. He slowly opened it and looked questioningly at the unknown gentleman.
"Antonio Ventrella?" the man asked.
"Yes. Can I help you?" he was puzzled, completely dumbfounded. The man didn't look familiar at all. "Who are you?"
"Have you ever heard of a Miss Kiley Stewart?"
Tony raised his eyebrows at the name, "Yeah, I know her. Why?" He hadn't heard from her in years, why would she send this dude and have him start asking questions...unless..."Is she alright?"
"Actually No. She passed away a few days ago. We've been looking for you for the past few days to ask you a couple important questions."
Tony just held his head in his hands as he listened to the man speak. What wasn't sure what the questions had to do with anything, but he nodded for the man to continue.
"Were you and Miss. Stewart ever intimate?" With a simple nod from Tony the man continued. "How long ago was this? And over a course of how much time?"
"About 6 or 7 years ago. We were only together for a bout 3 months before she dum...wait. Why am I being asked this stuff?"
"To see if everything matches up...and according to these records, It Does." The man took a deep breath before proceeding. "According to Kiley, while the two of you were together she became pregnant and well, seeing as as how Kiley is no longer with us, you now have full custody of your son, Connor. The man turned and gave a wave to his vehicle. The back door opened and little boy got out and walked over to the man slowly. "Connor....this is your dad."
Tony stood completely still. 'What The Hell?!?!' he thought to himself. He knelt down, "Hey Connor." he said in a quiet voice, he was totally....Out of it.

Addy followed closely behind Tony, and upon hearing the news, covered her mouth with her hands. An adorable boy walked up to them, and Addy's heart melted with sympathy. She didn't say anything though. It wasn't her place to.

"I'll send you an owl later tonight." The man turned and left.
Tony stood up and led Connor inside, shutting the door behind him. He looked up at Addy with a look of 'what the hell do I do'

Addy couldn't help but smile. She shrugged at Tony, and crouched down in front of Connor. "Hello, Connor. I'm Adrienne Jackson. Can I get you anything?"
Addy didn't know how long it would take to break through the child's shell, but she was determined to be a good mother to him. She was all the mother he had anymore. But she wasn't going to rush it.

Tony knelt down on the side of Addy and studied the boy. He was going to have to set up a room for him....
Connor looked at Addy and quietly said "Hi." He shook his head in responce to her next question.
Tony stood up, they needed to go out and hook the kid up with toys and stuff. They had a spare room upstairs that he thought would be perfect for him. "Addy, in the mood to go shopping again?" he asked as grin formed across his lips.

"Oh, definitely," Addy smiled. She held out a hand to Connor. "Would you like to go shopping?"

Connor nodded and placed his hand in hers. He was more comfortable around woman then men seeing as how he grew up with his mother.
Tony smiled as he watched Connor except Addy's hand. "Where to?" he asked Addy. He wasn't sure exactly where they should go for him, toys, clothes, both? He wasn't really familiar with the shops.

"Lil' Wiz Kids," said Addy decidedly after a moments thought. It had great toys for young witches and wizards: toy brooms and wands, stuffed animal toads, owls, cats, dragons, etc.... "I'm sure you'll love it, Connor."

Connor and Tony nodded to Addy at the same time. Tony saw connor out of the corner of his eye and lightly laughed to himself. "Apparating time," he said as he took Addy's hand. "Connor don't worry, just hold Addy's hand nice and tight, Ok?"
Connor nodded and with that, they were gone.

*Sometime Later After That Whole Thing*
With a crack they were back in the living room. He grabbed the paint cans and carried them up ther stairs, "Hey Connor...Wanna help paint your room?"
"Ok!" he said excitedly and followed his father into his room.
Tony filled another tray with the green paint, grabbed a roller and handed a brush to Connor. He took his shirt off once again and began painting. He turned his head quickly to see what Connor was doing and noticed the boy was in the process of taking his shirt off too. Tony simply smiled to himself and pretended like he hadn't saw.
