"Why does the house have to be so far away?" I complained, looking out the car window. I looked over at Clint who just rolled his eyes.

"We are nearly there. For god sake Nat, take your feet off the dash." I hear Clint says.

"For god sake Clint take off the sunglasses." I say with a laugh.

"Not happening."

"Well then bird boy it's settled." I had a smile on my face. It reminded me when we both gave each other nicknames the first time we met.

We finally reached the cream coloured house. It looked so warm and like home. The snow freshly laid on the room and ground. We drove up in the driveway, got out and grabbed our bags. Suddenly we heard the house door open and saw two kids run out, running towards us. I dropped my bag in the snow and picked up the little girl who was charging me with a hug.

"Auntie Nat, I missed you!" she says.

"And I missed you Lila. How is the artist?" I say, giving her a kiss on the head. I put her down and she run up to Clint, giving him a hug.

"Hey Auntie Nat." the boys says giving me a hug.

"Hey Cooper." I say, hugging him back.

"COOPER AND LILA BARTON. WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT GOING OUTSIDE WITHOUT PUTTING A JACKET ON!" I hear a voice yelling from the house.

We pick up our bags and walk behind the running kids to the house.

"But mommy, its Auntie Nat and Uncle Clint!" Lila said, sounding innocent.

"Honey, I don't care if it was Santa Claus and his 8 reindeer. You need to dress for the weather." she says. "Now go inside please."

The kids went in obediently and Laura turns to me and Clint. "Hey. Good to see you." I say, giving her a hug.

"Good to see you too." she says as we break away.

"Hey sis." Clint says, going to give her a hug but instead of a hug that we wanted, he earned a hit over the head. "OW. What was that for?"

"Scaring the living daylights out of everyone." she says, then giving him a hug.

"Hey, I wasn't planning on being in a coma for 6 weeks." he said, picking up his bag and going inside. Laura and I giggle.

We both headed to our room, to unpack what things we had taken with us. Which wasn't much becuase we both had clothes here. We then went down stairs and I took a detour to the kitchen to help Laura with lunch.

"So, is he back to his old, annoying, childish self?" Laura asked, as she took out some plates.

"You know it." I said with a laugh.

"My stomach might be killing me right now, but my ears still work perfectly, ladies." we hear Clint yell from the living room.

"Ok, does the rest of the team know about you two. I mean the way you worried about Clint and how you were at that hospital the whole time and being in there when only family could be in his room. They would have to of figured it out." she says, putting sandwiches on plates.
