"Cassidy, Lila, Cooper. Breakfast is ready!" Laura yells. I wake up with groan. I turn around to see Clint still asleep.
We both decided it was best to take an early retirement. SHIELD was no more and a year after our daughter was born, we decided that we should retire so we can just watch our kid grow up. I feel a hand, flop over my side and I turn to see Clint's dusty blue eyes staring at me.
"Can I help you with anything?" I ask him with a small laugh.
"Maybe a proper good morning!" he says, an evil grin on his face.
I give him a kiss on the lips and snuggle into him. My hand traces over the scar on his stomach. It had become the new one I always traced.
He just smiles and starts to sit up. "I am hungry, and Laura has breakfast so..." gets up throwing a shirt on.
I get out of bed and throw on my dressing gown. We head downstairs with three kids sitting around the table chattering loudly between spoonsful of their cereals.
"Morning you two. Sleep well?" Laura says, pouring coffee in two mugs and passing them to us.
I nod and sip the hot coffee. Cassidy, Lila and Cooper were really close to each other. Lila and Cooper liked to think of Cassidy as their little sister. The practically grew up with each other. 10 minutes later, the kids leave the table, put their dishes in the sink and head upstairs to get ready for school. There was suddenly a knock at the door, and I walk over and open it. Who drops over to someone's house at 7:00 in the morning? It was Tony and Pepper.
"Can I help you?" I ask, wondering why they were at our front door so early.
"We wanted to personally invite you to our wedding." Pepper says.
"Oh, my goodness really. You two are finally getting married." I say, inviting them in.
Clint walks in and says hi to Tony and Clint. They tell him the news and he congratulate the couple.
"You, your sister and the kids are all invited." Pepper says.
"Hey Pepper. I haven't seen you since Nat and Clint's wedding. How are you?" Laura says, giving her a hug.
"Ahhh....I'm confused here. Since when did you two know each other?" Tony says. I laugh at the confusion smothered all over his face. This I haven't missed.
"I met Laura at Natasha and Clint's wedding." Pepper says.
"You went to their wedding?!" Tony exclaims.
We all laugh. "Well, while you all catch up, I have three children that need to be taken to school." Laura says, going to the stair case.
"Kids come on. You'll be late if you don't hurry up." she yells. Three kids dressed in uniforms and back pads on their backs, come down the stairs.
They all say hi to Pepper and Tiny then head outside to the car, go to school.
Life was amazing. I never would have thought that I would have an amazing child and a great husband and a loving family. Each day I treasured. I owed so much to Clint. And I feel like I could never pay him back for that.
"Thank you so much for everything." I say, resting my head on his chest.
"For what?" he asks, fiddling with my hair.
"Without you, I wouldn't have any of this." I reply. "I love you Clint Barton."
