Flight to Paradise

[innitmarvelous_og]

The biggest challenge of going on a twenty-two and a half hour flight with a six-year old was of course, keeping the same six-year old entertained until the plane landed at the other end. Still, even as Rhodey found himself playing what felt like the hundredth round of Go Fish, he is glad they made the decision easily to bring Morgan with them on their honeymoon in Indonesia.

When Morgan runs out of cards on this current game, Pepper is quick to intervene with, "Okay sweetie, why don't you color or draw for awhile, and let Mommy and Daddy have a little time together?"

"Okay, Mommy!" Morgan agrees as he gets up and runs over to the other side of the lounge area.

They watch the little boy for a moment before Rhodey turned to his wife and murmured, "Thank you! Go Fish is a good game but we've played so many rounds I've lost count. I'll tell you one thing: that little boy really loves playing Go Fish!" 

Pepper laughed, "Yes, yes, he does, and I thank you so much for playing with him! Good news, we're a little over half way to Indonesia."

"That's good because I don't know how much longer I can play Go Fish without losing my mind!"

They both laughed again, and then Rhodey moved to sit by his wife. He wrapped his arm around her, she laid her head on his shoulder, and together they both looked over at Morgan.

"There are still times I still can't believe how much he looks like Tony," Rhodey said quietly.Morgan was busy coloring, his complete attention on what he was doing. "He's even got his tongue out like Tony used to do when he was completely absorbed in what he was doing."

Pepper blinked away tears, picturing in her head what he was talking about. She remembered clearly seeing the same look and tongue thing with Tony, "Yeah, he does."

Morgan threw his crayon down, picked up his art, and run over to them, "Mommy, Daddy, look what I did! Look at what I did!"
