Everything's Not Okay

"I can't believe the one time I'm over here you let the boys steal the baby instead of having with auntie Nat." Natasha says as you and her are sitting on the couch together. Steve and Bucky were in the room for the night with the twins already asleep and Peter was in the kitchen fixing a snack. You didn't realize how much teenage boys ate and had to buy groceries almost every other day. Because not only do you have a teenage boy who eats everything, you have two grown super soldiers who eat everything too.

"I know. But I needed some alone time with you. No boys. I'm all alone with boys all the time. I am the only girl. And it's exhausting. I need to soak up this girl time." You tell her. She chuckles and shakes her head. "I'm going to help myself to some wine. Do you want any?" She asks getting your and walking to the kitchen for wine. "No thanks. I'm still occasionally feeding the twins so I don't like to drink." You tell her.

"I'm going to be mom. Goodnight." Peter says, grabbing a bag of chips and heading to his room. "Goodnight Peter. Love you." You tell him. It was his first time flat out calling you mom and it warmed your heart. You couldn't imagine not having Peter as your son even if it was your adoptive son. "Love you too." Peter says as he goes into his room and shuts the door.

"So, you said the boys got into a fight the other day, what happened? I see you're all okay now, you all had some alone time last night." Nat says.

"Yea. A lot happened. Basically Steve wants to try and bring the baby we lost back with the reality stone and Bucky first thought he was gonna go back to be with Peggy. And when Bucky went to apologize to Steve, Steve was upset, which I get, but Bucky said something about the baby and Steve said it wasn't Bucky and it was a whole thing and it was terrible but we know he didn't mean it. We were all mad for a little but he apologized and Bucky told him he'd forgive him and told him how he felt but he told Steve if it ever happened again that he'd lose him for good. And I don't blame him." You tell Nat.

"Wow. That is a lot. I don't agree with what Steve said and personally I would've stayed mad longer, but I'm glad everything's okay now." She says downing her glass of wine. "Everything's not okay." You tell her. She looks at you confused and shakes her head. "What do you mean?" She asks.
