AS THE DOORS OF THE JET STARTED TO OPEN Carson stood up from his seat and walked over to Natasha, helping her stand. He threw one of her arms over his shoulder and gripped it with one hand and placed his other hand around her waist making sure she didn't fall. She looked up at him and smiled weakly, she still wasn't fully recovered but she was getting there.

They all stepped off the jet and made their way over to Clint's house and entered. Clint brought over a stool for Natasha and Carson gently placed her down and once she was comfortable he turned to make his way over to where the others stood a bit further into the room. But as he was turning around, Natasha grabbed his hand making him turn back to face her.

"Thank you." She said in a tired voice, giving him an appreciative smile. "I guess you actually can be nice sometimes." Carson chuckled at her comment.

"Shut up Romanoff, I'm always nice." He grinned before giving her shoulder a playful but light push. He re-joined the others.

"Honey? I'm home." Clint called out. Not long after a pregnant woman came from around the corner and made her way over to Clint.

"Sorry about the company, I should've called ahead." Clint said while giving the woman a peck on the lips followed by a hug.

"This is an agent of some kind." Tony mumbled to Carson and Thor.

Clint put his arm around the woman and turned to face everyone. "Gentlemen, this is Laura."

Laura waved and gave everyone a welcoming smile. "I know all of your names."

"Ooh. Incoming." Clint said as two children ran into the room.

"Dad!" Lila beamed as she jumped into his arms.

Clint gave the girl a kiss on the head and he lifted her up before ruffling his sons hair up. "Hey buddy! How are you guys doing?"

"These are.. smaller agents?" Tony said, just as confused as everyone else.

"Did you bring auntie Nat?" Lila questioned with an excited look on her face.

Natasha stood up with a huge smile as she walked over to the girl. "Why don't you hug her and find out?" She picked Lila up and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Sorry for barging in on you." Steve apologized.

"Yeah, we would've called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed." Tony commented.

"Yeah, well, Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files and I'd like to keep it that way." Clint replied while putting his arms around Laura and Cooper.

Natasha put Lila down and walked up to Laura with a smile. "I missed you. How's little Natasha, huh?"

"She's... Nathaniel." Laura said scrunching her face, giving Natasha a sorry look.

Natasha leaned down, her face opposite Laura's stomach. "Traitor" She whispered.

Thor looked around before making his way out of the house. Everyone gave each other a confused look before Steve followed Thor outside.

When Carson moved over to the side he accidentally stepped on one of Lila's toys which caught her attention, she walked over and looked up at him. Carson looked down at the girl and gave her a small smile. He never really know what to do around kids, they were just so difficult.. and messy... and annoying... and actually kind of scary sometimes.

Lila continued to look and him then looked down at his foot that was still on her toy. Carson followed her gaze and looked down too, once he realised what he was stood on he quickly moved it out the way. "Oh, Um.. sorry?" Lila smiled and picked up her toy then wandered off upstairs.
