Leyla's POV
My mom had to go to a last minute mission, before the summer break started, leaving me with uncle Clint and auntie Laura in their barn house. The first couple of weeks were fine, Lila and I would have sleep overs in her room staying up all night playing with our dolls and telling funny stories to each other, I would help auntie Laura in the kitchen since I love so much to cook, uncle Clint would teach me how to do the bow and arrow, Lila, Cooper and I would play hide and seek; it was so much fun. But as the days would passed by, I started to missed my mom to much. I remember the day she received the call from grandpa Nick, telling her about the mission, at first she said no. She didn't wanted to go saying that she didn't want to leave me, she didn't know how long the mission was going to take so she wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving me, even if I was going to stay with uncle Clint, which is the person she trust the most, it didn't felt right to her. But me being me told her that she could go, that I was going to be fine. I honestly wasn't comfortable with the idea of her leaving for long but truth be told, I didn't wanted to be a hindrance between her and her work. However, even if I was the one who told her it was ok, I still felt sad and kinda lonely. You would ask why I would feel lonely if I have the company of uncle Clint and his family? Well you see, ever since mama rescued me from the Red Room facilities when I was two, it had always being me and her. Besides uncle Clint, grandpa Nick and aunt Maria, they being the only ones who know about my existence, for safety of course. Mama being an ex KGB assassin and now a spy agent for S.H.I.E.L.D, her enemies represent a risk for me, that's what mama told me anyways.
Back to the issue, it's been almost a month since grandpa Nick called Mom for the mission, and I'm starting to worry. Mama before leaving told me that according to what grandpa Nick told her about the mission. It looked like it was probably going to be a simple one, therefore it would certainly not take more than two weeks. But like I said it's been almost a month by now and she hasn't come back.
However, Uncle Clint told me not to worry to much. He told me that my mama was a strong and fearless woman, that she knows what she is doing and she will be here as soon as she can, since there's nothing more than she loves but me and she would do whatever it takes to get back to me. That didn't stop my worries, but it did lessen them. I know my mom better than anybody can.
I know she is this strong, powerful and brave woman but most importantly, she is a mother. MY MAMA, to be exact. And I know that she will always come back to me, she always does. This time it won't be any different.
Flashback
(Leyla is five and Natasha is leaving for her second mission ever since she adopted her)
A five year old Leyla find herself crying in her mother's embrace because she was leaving again.
"Мамочка, пожалуйста, не уходи. Я не хочу, чтобы ты снова меня покидал" she said her voice craking and between sobs. She knew that her mommy wasn't leaving her forever but that didn't mean that she liked the idea of having her mama away, so if she could do anything to stop her mama from leaving, she was going to try, no matter what.
Natasha didn't knew what else to do than to hold her daughter close to her chest really tight in order to calm her down. Her heart shattered with every sob and tear the little girl let out. Leaving the little girl that was in her arms broke her. HER LITTLE GIRL. Her sweet baby girl. But at the end of the day, she had a job and it had to be done, something that she could understand but she knew that it was difficult for a five year old to understand. And even worse if her baby girl was a complete mommy's girl. She started to gently rub circles in her daughter's back shushing her "shshshsh Моя любовь is ok" she left a lingering kiss on her baby's head "Детка, can you look at mommy for a sec please" little Leyla slowly took her head out of her mama's chest and look up at her with her big brown teary and pleading eyes. Natasha gently leaned in and leave a long kiss on her daughter's forehead, scared of starting crying if she looked at those eyes for to long. When she felt ready she lean back and cup her baby girls face, gently caressing her chubby rosy cheeks "Детка, у меня нет выбора, мне нужно идти, но я могу тебе кое-что пообещать, и мне нужно, чтобы ты меня выслушала, хорошо" The little girl slowly nods her head letting Natasha know that she could continue "Неважно, как далеко я зайду. Независимо от того, как долго меня не будет, я всегда, ВСЕГДА найду свой путь обратно к тебе. Мой милый маленький ангел" Leyla look at her mama with her bottom lip sticking out forming a cute little pout "You promise?" Her mama mimic her little pout and whisper "I promise Малышка" she leaned and peck her little girl's pout away, swearing she saw a small smile form in her daughter's face
"Now I need you to promise mommy that you'll be good for your auntie Laura ok, can you promise me that Моя любовь?" she received a quick nod making her giggle "Yes mommy, I promise I will be a very good girl for auntie Laura while your gone" she smile cupping the chin of her daughter and winking at her "That's my girl. Now can mommy have a last hug before I go?" without hesitation Leyla leaned into her mother's chest, wrapping her arms tightly around her mom's neck. Natasha reciprocating the hug just as tight, leaving a lingering kiss on top of her daughters head, letting her nose breath in her baby's smell
"Момми так сильно тебя любит, моя милая девочка" Natasha whisper so only her daughter could hear "Я люблю тебя Момми"
