Soulmates

A Surprise Inside A Surprise

It was now Friday. You threw together a gender reveal all by yourself and it was almost impossible because you still had three other kids to take care of as well. But you wanted to do this. You were over the moon excited about it.

You decided to have it at the compound, it was more inconvenient for you because you had to travel with two 9 month olds a 16 year old and two grumpy old men but you didn't want the whole team coming to your house because it would draw attention to your home and that would defeat the purpose of it being a safe house.

Natasha wouldn't be at the gender reveal as far as you knew. Nobody had seen her for weeks. She left and hadn't been back. She told Tony that she just needed to clear her head and she'd be back. Which kept you wondering. Even after everything that happened you still worried about her. You felt there was more to what was going on with her than he being in love with Steve and not being able to have kids.

You had set everything up, Peter, Steve, and Bucky each had a balloon and a needle. They were standing in front of everyone and you had a camera to record it. You dressed baby James in blue and baby Steve in pink. Everyone else wore what they thought the baby would be.

You wore all black because you knew and didn't want to somehow give it away. "Mom why are there three balloons?" Peter asks. "So we can pop them all at once. Because we all wanted to know. You're the big brother and we're the dads." Bucky explains.

You can't help but smile and start laughing at their ignorance to the situation. "Actually...there is a surprise inside of this surprise. Yes there are three balloons for each of you, but there are also three balloons because there are three babies." You explain.

"W-what? No way. You're lying." Peter says. "I'm not. There are three babies in this belly. That is why I'm huge:" you tell them. "Holy shit." Bucky says. "I know we said eight kids but...all at once. Wow. Three babies." Steve says. Everyone was trying to process it and you loved the smiles on their faces.

"That means there's a very good chance at least one of them is a girl." Bucky says. "If they're all boys I might ship out." Steve jokes. "Imagine show mom would feel if they're all boys. Shed be living in the house with eight boys." Peter points out.

"Just pop the balloons." Tony says. "Wow DAD. How sweet of you to ruin the little moment. They were pitying me, I needed my moment." You tease. "Pop the balloons or I will." Tony says. "Okay. Peter pop yours first on three." You say. And everyone counts.

"1..."

"2...."

"3....."

Peter pops his balloon and blue confetti flies everywhere. "It's a boy!" He yells. "Okay. We have two more chances to get a little girl." Steve says. "That's why they're all boys. Because you two just want a girl." Tony says. "They're all boys?" Peter asks looking at you. "I don't know. Steve pop the balloon and find out the second baby." You say.

"3..."

"2...."

"1....."

Steve pops the balloon and again, blue confetti flies everywhere. "It's another boy!" Steve yells. "Last chance for a girl." Thor says. "It's okay if its a boy. That just means we get to keep trying." Bucky says. "I bet you have fun with that." Sam says. "They do." Peter says dreadfully. "Okay okay! What's the third baby!?" Wanda asks.

"I bet it's another boy." Clint chimes in. "Okay hush guys. Buck...it's your turn. Pop the balloon babe." You tell him smiling.

"3..."

"2...."

"1....."
