Chapter Text
If there is one thing Tony learned in his many years of parenting it was that each of his kids had their own way of dealing with things even when it came to being sick. For instance, DIck was already a rather clingy child to start with but when he gets sick it becomes twice as bad...
Tony was never one to deal with sickness very well even when it was his own. His solution to a cold was to get black-out drunk and sleep it off. So when his newly adopted child came down with a fever he was a little less than prepared.
Tony had a strange feeling when he woke up that morning to complete silence. Since he had brought Richard home there had been very few moments of peace and it never meant anything good.
He got up and went into the living room to find said troublemaker asleep on the couch.
'That odd' Tony thought to himself 'The kid never sleeps in'
"Hey Kid" he gently nudged the kid only to receive a miserable groan in response. Tony reached out and touched his forehead, it was hot to the touch .
"Pepper something's wrong with the kid," He said with a slight panic in his voice.
"What's wrong?" she asked
"I don't know he has a fever"
