Ghost

Chapter One Hundred Seventy Three

Spencer POV

The first night in the house with our little angel was almost too easy. She had slept all the way home only waking once we got there because she was hungry.

She went down for the night and only woke up four times to be fed.

Getting to wake up with my wife and baby.. it's such a cool feeling. There's really nothing like it.

Seeing her smile as I scoop her up and out of the crib and having her cuddle into me as I walked us to the kitchen, melted my heart.

I'm a mom!

I went from running from everything and taking form anyone, sure I was to be destined to live out my days alone.

And here I am, married to Natasha and we have this amazing bundle of joy with us.

Yelena, Melina and Alexei were all here initially when we got home. They were excited to see her. They all cooed over how cute she was and wanted to hold her.

She didn't fuss once.

And.. she is really freaking cute. I know everyone says that about their kid, but she really is.

Now it's been a few weeks and we've adjusted to having a small edition into our routine rather nicely. Between both of our jobs we've had plenty of time to take off, taking turns when the other is needed.

Since I can schedule the tattoo appointments kind of when it works for me, I've decided to narrow the days I'm open, at least for now, so I can stay home.

Since everything has been going so well, we decided to invite everyone over to officially meet little Romanova.

Melina and Alexei are coming to stay a few days; both grandparents eager to spend time with their granddaughter.

And then Yelena said she'll be here to help, staying in the room we have for her.

This works out for us since we're trying to get back into our normal work schedules, so the extra help will be appreciated.

At the moment, we are in the kitchen having breakfast before we get ready for everyone to come over tonight.

We decided on grilling outside and having a little fire. That way Clint's and Tony's kids can hang out and everyone will be fed.

We don't have a lot we have to prepare for since most of the food will be cooked on the grill.

We have the meat and the sides all ready.

So today will be a relatively easy day with my girls.

"You know, I really think she looks like us," I sit back after having sat my little lady in her chair, making funny faces at her to get her to giggle.

Nat is sitting on the other side of the table, currently working on something that's causing her to stare at her computer screen.

But she looks over to us once I spoke.

"I mean it. She totally has my dark hair and your piercing green eyes. And your cute button nose," at that I gently boop our daughter on her tiny nose.

"Oh she definitely has your smile, too," she adds.

She leaves her computer but brings her coffee as she comes over to our side of the table, sitting on my lap once she reaches us.

This time she makes some funny faces to get her to smile.

It gets us both to smile.

I pull her closer to me, "I could not be happier with our little family." Then I kiss her shoulder.
