Chapter 3084 "Romantic" Wedding Season (IV)
There are no obvious seasonal changes in California. All year round is like the best summer in people’s memory, with warm sunshine and cool evening breeze.
The helicopter's rotors pushed aside the heat waves and also blew the palm trees not far away left and right. Before the helicopter landed, a shining figure in gold and red swooped out, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then landed with a bang.
With a click, the mask opened, and Stark picked up Helen who was rushing towards him. He rubbed her little face hard with his rough bearded chin, making Helen scream.
Pepper, who got off the helicopter, pushed Stark somewhat dissatisfiedly, turned her head back, asked him to push the stroller, and reached out to hold Helen, but Helen had grown a lot and she could no longer hold him.
Helen leaned over to the stroller to look at the much-grown little Morgan, and Schiller and Eddie also leaned over.
"Babies change every day." Schiller sighed. He remembered that little Morgan was wrinkled when he was born, just like a red mouse. But in just a short time, he has grown into a white and plump one.
Stark put away the mecha. He wore a floral shirt and shorts, flip-flops, and his favorite sunglasses. He pushed everyone away, pushed the stroller forward, and said, "The baby's skin is very fragile and cannot be exposed to such strong ultraviolet rays for a long time. Why haven't Matt and the others come down yet?"
"He really acts like a father," Eddie teased.
At this time, Matt and his wife got off the helicopter. The little kid Erica was holding was walking unsteadily, but they were all very surprised. Helen ran over from Pepper's side, looked at the child in surprise and said, "He can actually walk now!"
Erica smiled and said, "Yes, little Jack is almost one year old, but he is indeed a little earlier than other children. The doctor said that his cervical spine is better developed than other children of the same age, so there is no problem for him to learn to walk now."
Erica led him over, and Schiller picked up little Jack, looked at his kicking legs and said, "He's grown really well, his legs are so strong."
"A little too forceful, actually." Matt sighed, rubbed his waist with his hand, and then said, "When I was changing his diaper, he kicked me and I was in pain for a week."
Everyone laughed, and Eddie asked curiously, "Is Little Jack a real name?"
"Oh, no, his full name is Thomas." Matt said, "His nickname is Jack because his grandfather is Jack."
A few people started chatting as they walked towards the house, but it was not far from the Stone House and they arrived there soon.
Stark and Matt were both here for the first time, so they kept looking up. Stark opened his arms and sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "The decoration is not bad, but the place is a little small."
He was on the right side of the hall, which was a sunken living room. On the far right was a huge floor-to-ceiling window from which one could see the cliffs and the beach. On the left side of the window was a bar where one could sit and watch the sunset over the beach.
"This window is specially opened for you." Schiller took a drink from the refrigerator and started to mix it. "When the children are a little older, they will play on the beach or in the swimming pool on the cliff, and we can sit here and watch them to prevent them from doing something dangerous."
"What could be more dangerous than that slide you built?!" Eddie yelled, but he still walked behind the bar and started producing ice cubes in the ice machine.
It was still early and they didn't plan to drink. Schiller opened a few fresh coconuts and let Gray Mist mix the coconut milk and coconut oil to make a milky drink, which was fragrant enough. Schiller also squeezed two drops of perfumed lemon juice to remove the greasiness, and poured the juice back into the coconut shell, inserted a straw, and put two flowers on it. Helen gave each of the ladies a coconut.
Stark sat on the sofa, watching Helen run several times but got nothing for herself, and even the two mice got a coconut, so he began to cast murderous eyes at Schiller.
It was not until Schiller finished making the last coconut and personally brought it to him that he snorted, picked up the coconut, bit the straw in his mouth, and then said as if he remembered something: "Eddie, is the new batch of photography equipment you bought still on the East Coast?"
Eddie was also stunned. He said, "Oh no, I forgot that the equipment is still in the warehouse. Are you going to start shooting today?"
"No, we won't be shooting a full documentary this time. We'll just shoot the night before the wedding and the wedding itself." Stark scratched his hair and said, "I want to take some videos and photos of Helen. Maybe I can show them at her wedding in the future."
Schiller knew that Stark might feel that he had neglected Helen recently and therefore made up this excuse on purpose. However, Helen was not really a little girl and was not that clingy. She was having a lot of fun in the fighting world.
But Schiller did not intend to expose Stark. His emotional and sensitive heart was a treasure of the world and his own antidote. Moreover, if he was given something to do, he would not sit there every day and give speeches on every detail of the interior of his house.
Eddie thought for a moment and said, "I wanted to bring it with me before I came, but I forgot when I was packing. How about I take the nearest flight back to get it?"
"Forget it." Stark shook his head and said, "You brought a normal camera, right? You don't need such professional equipment to take some photos of daily life."
"Of course I did." Eddie went back to the room and took out his equipment bag, from which he took out a video camera, an ordinary camera, and even a digital camera. Stark tried to operate the video camera, and then began to take pictures everywhere like a curious baby.
"Why don't you use your cell phone?" Schiller asked.
"Mobile phone cameras are a blasphemy to the art of photography," Stark said. "Even Apple's so-called great cameras look like shit compared to real professional equipment."
Pepper, who was holding up an iPhone to take a picture of Helen, turned pale.
"I'm definitely not talking about you, Pepper! You must have the power to turn shit into magic!"
"Yes, like I married you!"
Eddie walked over and held little Jack in his arms and teased him. Children of this age are the cutest. They walk unsteadily and talk in babbling voices. They are not very mobile and have difficulty expressing themselves, but they respond to adults' teasing and are very fun to tease.
Eddie covered his face with his hands, then opened them again, covered his face with his hands again, and opened them again, making little Jack giggle.
As a result, he covered his hands, and when he opened them again, venom suddenly spurted out and covered his face. He showed a smile with his big teeth bared, and little Jack burst into tears.
Eddie roared into the air, "Venom! What are you doing!!"
Venom's voice was also confused, "Why doesn't he cry when you tease him?"
Eddie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He couldn't say that you were too ugly and scared the child to tears, right? Wouldn't Venom fight him to death?
Eddie quickly picked up little Jack and comforted him. Little Jack seemed to be just frightened by the sudden ghost face, but after he reacted, he started babbling at Eddie again.
Eddie really couldn't understand what he was saying, so he had to carry him to find Matt. Matt coaxed him for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. When he was in Erica's hands, little Jack waved his hands anxiously.
"...Ya? What happened to Ya?" Erica shook little Jack in her arms and looked at the two men in a daze.
"Haha, he must like my teeth!" The venom came out again, this time covering half of Eddie's face. Little Jack saw his surprised expression, then laughed and started clapping.
Eddie said to Matt helplessly: "You should correct your son's aesthetic taste."
Stark was on the phone in the living room. It seemed that Steve called him. After hanging up, he said, "As expected, there is traffic jam in Los Angeles again."
Schiller said in surprise: "They didn't take the shuttle?"
"It's just the shuttle traffic." Stark shook his head and said in disbelief, "There's a traffic jam when there are cars, and there's a shuttle traffic jam when there are shuttles. Is Los Angeles cursed?"
"Send a mech to pick them up."
"That's the problem. Carter is still young and can't stand the turbulence right now. Otherwise, they would have come here with us in a helicopter. Although my mecha is safe, it's hard to keep it stable."
Schiller paused and said, "When will Stephen arrive? Ask him to open a portal?"
"Didn't he tell you? He can't come. The Presbyterian Hospital is so short of staff. Don't count on him except to be there on the wedding day."
"I'll go." A voice sounded at the door. Schiller looked up and found that it was Loki.
She was wearing a colorful bohemian dress, a huge straw sunhat also with a garland of flowers on it, and sunglasses that covered most of her face, just like Stark.
"Why are you here? Have you finished your business in Doujie?"
"Not yet, but after Bruce left, I can finally relax for a while." Loki sighed, stretched and said, "I've been so tired lately. I want to have a good vacation."
She grabbed the void and a staff appeared in her hand. She waved it gently and a portal appeared. Not long after she walked in, Captain America Steve and Carter walked out of the portal.
Carter started vomiting as soon as he came out. Loki was shocked and said, "It's impossible. The portal I used is the most stable one. How could it be..."
"She's either dizzy from the portal or having an adverse reaction from her early pregnancy." Steve said as he helped Carter to the sink. Carter vomited for a full three minutes and everyone gathered around.
"How could it be so serious?" Pepper said, "When I was three months pregnant, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't vomit like this. Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Of course I went. The doctor said it depends on the individual. Unfortunately, Carter is one of the more sensitive ones." Steve kept patting Carter's back and said, "But I think it might be because I have been genetically modified..."
"It has nothing to do with that." Carter said as he vomited, "Didn't we go to SHIELD for a checkup? There's no abnormality in the embryonic development."
"Do you still expect him to learn how to swing a shield while still in his stomach?" Stark walked over with a frown and said, "Just because there's nothing wrong on the surface doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. Why don't you come to my lab for a checkup?"
Steve gave Stark a helpless look, and Stark immediately understood what he meant. He thought that Carter probably didn't want to go. She was worried that if the child really felt so uncomfortable because he had superpowers, Steve would feel guilty.
"Ma'am, even if it's not for the child, you have to be responsible for yourself. If the child really has any abnormalities, the entire pregnancy maintenance plan must be changed, and regular observation is required to ensure the safety of both of you..."
Stark gently pulled Pepper's arm, and Pepper stepped forward to persuade him: "After all, this is not a good way to go on. There is no reason to avoid seeing a doctor."
Steve pulled Stark aside and said, "Are Wanda and the others coming too? Maybe we can ask her to help take a look."
Stark obviously trusts his own equipment more, but he sees that Carter's mental state is not very good, and forcing her to check will definitely not work. Jarvis also has a life scanning function, so maybe it would work if he takes a look.
"They'll arrive this afternoon." Schiller said, "The temperature in New York has dropped today, and Billy has a cold. They're afraid the children won't be able to adapt to the climate here, so they'll stay with Professor X and bring them here when he comes to attend the wedding."
Stark calculated the time in his mind and said, "Wanda's brothers should be able to walk now, right?"
"More than that, they can already fly."
