Allison and Clint had been together forever. At least, they had been since they starting dating and were relocated by SHIELD for their safety.
Sure, the first few weeks were awkward between the new location and Clint's constant leaving for work, but they made it work.
Their firstborn was a son, Cooper. He was born in August of 2006, and the severity of the situation called for two and a half months off of work for Clint which the new parents gladly welcomed.
It was nice. If anything too major happened, Fury was usually understanding and gave his agent some paid time off. After all, he had been the one who made them move. Though if they hadn't there's a good chance Allison would be dead, but toe-mate-o, tom-a-toe.
All changes when Clint comes home admitting an affair with his work partner.
*a/n: i actually wrote the first chapters a whole year ago and forgot completely about them. so this is me publishing this. (this is also published on ao3)
