Kate POV
"You coming?" I heard Clint ask me after he shut the boot of his car with a stack of presents in his hands.
"Yeah. Come on, Lucky." I ushered and he followed me and Clint with a little bark.
"Hey, are you sure this is ok?" I asked him again, smiling as I look at the house and at the pile of gifts in Clint's arms.
I'm telling you, they are very excited to meet you." Clint assured me, then we heard a little voice shouting as the owner of it came running towards Clint, "Daddy!".

He must be Nathaniel. He looks to me the youngest and how Clint described him.

"There he is!" Clint said with a little chuckle as he did a little run to the porch of the house, "Hey, buddy. Merry Christmas." He smiled, giving the little boy a hug while trying not to drop the presents.
"You made it. You kept your promise." Another voice said, coming out of the house.

This one is Lila, she looks too young to be his wife so she's one of his daughters.

"Here, take something." Clint told them as another older boy came from the house as well and took the presents inside, but stopping at the door when the little boy asked me a question.

The older one there is Cooper then, he's the oldest one of Clint's children- not including me, obviously.

"What's your name?" The smallest one asked me, looking up at me, seemingly not currently bothered with the gifts.
"This is Kate. Come on in, let's go. It's cold." Clint told them as we all made our ways inside.

"You made it." A women with a pink, flower-patterned shirt said, giving Clint a hug then a kiss, as he replied.

That's Laura then, his wife.

"Ah, the dog's so cute. What's his name?" Nathaniel asked as I came inside with Lucky dragging me in and enjoying the attention.
"That's Lucky." I nodded, letting Lucky go to them.
"Brought home a couple strays." I barely heard Clint say to his wife as I closed the door behind me.
"Hi." I smiled as Clint introduced me.
"This is Kate." Clint nodded.

"Welcome, Kate. So good to have you." Laura told me with a smile and a hug as I hugged he back with an equally big smile on my face.

Me and Clint came inside from putting an end to Roman by burning his suit and I heard music coming from upstairs, "Who's that?" I asked, following Clint into the kitchen, where Laura was making dinners.

"That's Lola, she probably didn't hear you two come in, if she's listening to that." Laura told me, plating up some of the food, as Clint stole something without Laura noticing, even though he burnt his finger and tongue on the hot food.

I hid a little smile, as to not expose him, and looked back to Laura, "Is she going to come down, do you want me to go get her?" I offered.
"No, it's fine. I'll go get her." Clint told us, before leaving to go upstairs.

We hear the music stop and the two came down just a few minutes later. I had now joined the other three in the living room, playing with Nathaniel and the new toys he had.

"Hi." I heard, from behind me. A new voice that I haven't hear before- y/n.
I turned to her and Clint, standing up, and for some reason, shaking her hand.
She smiled a little bit at it, but nodded and shook my hand, "I'm, uh, y/n.".
"I'm Kate." I smiled at her.

Ok, she seems nice, and very... very pretty.

"You're, umm, you're still shaking my hand." She told me, with a little laugh, nodded down to our hands, still, in fact, being shaken just by mine now.
"Right, sorry." I laughed nervously, taking my hand back and just hoping that I wasn't blushing or turning red.

"It's fine." She nodded, leading to a little bit of an awkward silence that Clint, luckily got the message on, and broke.

We all had dinner around their table and I got to tell them about myself, and learn a few things about them and their home, as well as being told that I am welcome all the time, and I can stay for as long as I need. Obviously, I thanked them and offered to help tidy the table and told them that I would do chores, or anything they needed, for letting me stay with them.

I helped Lola, as it was her turn, to clear the table and clean dishes and stuff. Clint, Laura and the kids went off to bed, leaving and Lola downstairs alone.

"Are you enjoying the staying her?" She asked, as we were stood at either side of the table, collecting up dishes. "Yes, thank you. You're family is amazing." I smile, as I look up at her, slowly getting slower as we each move around the table to stack all the cups and plates.

"Thanks for helping me." She mumbled, as if she was a child being told by her mum to say it.
"No problem." I told her with a little laugh, as I grabbed the last dish and and took it into the kitchen.

She followed in behind me and put the dishes in the sink, as I did with the pile in my hands. "You can wash up. I'll dry them." I threw the wet dish cloth at her face, making her quickly catch it before it hit her.

"Ok, Hawkeye's daughter, I should've guessed the good reflexes." I mumbled quickly, attempting to dodge it as she threw it back at me, but instead I moved so it hit me straight in the face.

I picked up the sponge after it fell to the ground and held it up as I was about to throw it, she put her hand up in front of it and threw the towel that I didn't realise that she had in the other hand, at me.

"I'll do the dishes, but you gotta wipe the table and stuff." She compromised, holding her hand out to shake.
"Ok, deal." She nodded, shaking my hand.

We finished them soon later, however both of us now had a significant amount of bubbles all over us and we were busting with laughter, about the most stupid things.

She showed me up to my room and that I had an bathroom and a shower, if I wanted one.
"Thank you. I smiled at her, as we came out of the bathroom after she showed me how everything worked.

"No problem, I'm just down the hall so call me if you need me." We both still had bubbles all over us, and would look strange if anyone saw us right now.

"Will do, I'm going to have a shower now, should probably wash all of these bubbles away." I laughed, making her laugh with me, recognising the bubbles again.

"Good night." She smiled, walking to the door and closing it behind her as she left.
"Goodnight."
