A Romanogers Story

Chapter 42

"Where's Steve and Nat? Its already 12:45!" Tony looked around the 31st floor.
"They're at the hospital. James' sibling will be born soon." Bruce pushed up his glasses.
"Okay. What time will they be back?"
"I think they said something like 15:00." The Avengers were starting to enter the "den" as they liked to call it. It was actually the 31st floor. They ate breakfast and James was with them too. He played on the Xbox with Thor and Tony all morning.

It was now 15:23 and Tony was wondering where Steve and Natasha were. The lift doors opened and they were standing there. They sat on the sofa and everyone crowded round them.
"Okay, okay. So, this is Martha our daughter." Steve told everyone. James admired his new sister and smiled.

Steve, Natasha, James and Martha went home at 20:43. James was in his sister's new room entertaining her.
"Hi, Martha. I'm your brother, James." James started tickling Martha.

Downstairs in the living room, Steve could hear James talking to Martha.
"You did so well, Nat. I love you so much." Steve kissed Natasha, who smiled in appreciation.
"Thanks, Steve. I love you too."

James slowly opened the door of his parents bedroom. He looked inside, expecting them to be asleep, but they were sitting in bed. Steve had his arm around Natasha and looking at something she was showing him on her laptop. Steve saw James opening the door and looked up at him.
"Hi, what's up?" Steve got out of bed and walked towards his son as he said this.
"Martha took my pencil and she won't give it back." James looked at Martha's room across the landing. Steve went into Martha's room and saw his daugher playing with a pencil. He looked into the cott and smiled. He said in a soft, quiet voice, "Hey, Martha. I'm gonna need that back now." Steve slowly took the pencil off her and gave it to James. "There you go." Steve ruffled James' hair and went back to Natasha. He shut the door behind him, but left it open ajar. He got into bed and looked at the laptop again.

"Mom, dad. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight." James poked his head round the door.
"Goodnight James." Natasha smiled. James left and quietly shut the door. He entered his room and got into bed. He turned off the lamp and fell asleep.
