There's No Place Like Home- Clint Barton, Kate Bishop x Female!Reader

Information for Context: After the events of the holiday season, which Kate calls 'Hawkeye and Crew's Christmas Catastrophe' or 'The Catastrophe' for short, you and Kate have officially moved in with the Bartons. You're like the Aunt the kids never had, and Kate is practically an older sister.

Nathaniel's still a baby, I had an idea that I wanted to include and it only worked if he was still a baby :)

***********************************************************************************************

"Laura? Kids? I'm ho-"

"Shhhhh!"

Clint's brows furrowed when he saw Kate lean out of the living room doorway, shushing him with a finger to her lips. He kicked off his shoes and set down his bag, and walked into the living area. A smile spread across his face at the sight of you and the kids sprawled out across the couch, passed out in a peaceful slumber. Even the baby, Nathaniel, was asleep on his stomach, his head resting in the center of your chest, your hands supporting his bottom to keep him balanced.

"Laura's in the shower," Kate whispered, leaning on the wall beside Clint, "she told me to tell you lasagna's for dinner," she sighed and nodded to you and the kids on the couch, "and to be quiet so they stay asleep."

Clint pulled out his phone, "I have to get a picture of this."

With that, he managed to walk with silent footfalls around to the front of the sofa. He angled his camera to fit all of you in frame, and snapped a few pictures. Then, he came closer to you and Nathaniel, sneaking another picture of just the pair of you.

Kate snickered, "You're such a dad."

***********************************************************************************************

You stirred awake to the smell of warm and fresh lasagna being pulled from the oven and the weight of a baby on your chest and stomach. You looked down to see a sleeping Nathaniel, and then to the kitchen, where Kate was setting the table while Laura placed dinner on the counter and Clint was pouring himself a glass of red wine. Carefully, you moved the baby to cradle him so you could stand without waking him.

"Dinner smells amazing," you mumbled, balancing Nathaniel in one arm, rubbing your heavy eyelid with your free hand, "how long have we been asleep?"

"A few hours," Laura smiled, "thank you for somehow making nap time actually happen."

You chuckled, "It doesn't usually?"

"Not in this house," Clint joked, coming up behind you with a hand on your shoulder, leaning to see his youngest son, "Hi buddy," he lovingly whispered.

"You're such a dad," you quietly said, rolling your eyes.

Kate's face lit up, "That's what I said!"

"Shhhhhhhhh," You, Clint, and Laura replied in unison.

"Okay, jeez," Kate defensively held her hands up, "sorry."

***********************************************************************************************

Later that night, after many rounds of Uno, you and Kate were relaxing in the bedroom you split. Kate was curled into a blanket burrito on her bed, occasionally softly snoring as she slept. You snuck a picture and sent it to Clint.

'Whatever was in that lasagna worked magic,' you typed, 'she's never his quiet.'

'Haha,' Clint replied, 'let's hope it stays that way for the rest of the night.'

You closed your messages after sending your goodnight text, and decided to check your Instagram. You weren't expecting the first post you saw.

@ClintBarton 

'to the best aunt ever, we love you so much'

The first picture above the caption was of you asleep with Nathaniel comfortably sleeping on top of you. The second was of you with all the kids, each of which were in their respective places on the large living room sofa, soundly asleep. The last was of you in the kitchen, Nathaniel cradled in your arms, with Clint leaning over your shoulder to see and smile at his son.

'Laura must have gotten that last one,' You thought.

You loved the post and clicked repost, centering the post on your story before adding in some text of your own underneath.

'i love you guys so much, thank you for being my family. even you, kate.'
