The Widow's Belladonna (Natasha Romanoff X Fem)

Due date

April...

Talia's POV....

Exhaustedly searching through the rubble of labyrinth information due to the catastrophe of the blimp, Talia slouches over the piles of reports. Screens of the missing people flashes before her projected onto the wall. Working nonstop to find a solution and reverse everything she had lost. A mesh of red and blonde hair sprawled on the back of her chair as she sighs into her chair with no leads. Her eyes trail over the wedding picture reminding her of the happiness she has.

Tears glaze over her emerald eyes before one of her best friend's face appears. She masks her face with a smirk but failing completely. She clears the knot in her throat, "you're here to do your laundry?"

Steve smiles subtly, "and to see a friend," he returns.

Talia takes deep calming breath pasting a smile on her face, "obviously your friend is fine," she counters.

"Nat," Steve lisps shifting uncomfortably.

"If you're here to tell me that it's going to be okay, you're about to be hit with a peanut butter sandwich," Nat scoff playfully.

Steve smiles, "you're exhausting yourself when you should be home with your pregnant wife," he expresses approaching the work table.

"Don't tell me what I should be doing," Talia quips, "I balance my work and personal life well. I can't stop this, I miss her," she sniffles, "I miss all of them," she adds.

"We all do," Steve agrees, "but right now you should be at home," he says calmly.

Talia sighs exhausted before her phone rings. Her eyes widen before she grabs her leather jacket and rush off.

Theo's POV....

Bed ridden for her remaining weeks, Theo had enough as she glared at the beautiful woman that kept her captive with the help of Letty and Everly. She shakes her head, "the ultimate betrayal," she scoff angrily.

Talia meets her glare with her own. Her hands waves, "baby, the doctor ordered..."

"Talia," Theo murmurs softening her glare, "I haven't been out of this room for the past three weeks. I'm as big as a damn boat and these two won't let me have dessert. I'm a prisoner," she grumbled.

Nat raises a brow, "baby you just had dessert for breakfast," she bickers.

"And I didn't get any to satisfy my sweet tooth," Theo counters, "besides the point I want out of here," she commands.

Natalia sighs, "Teddy you are carrying my babies. Not one but three and you're at high risk. Aries ordered you to stay in bed so you don't have any complications and as much as I want you to be up and about, I need to think about the risks. I can't have you frolicking around and something happens to you," she banters as Letty and Everly stand firmly with her.

Theodora sighs, "but," she slumps onto her side dismissing the three, "be gone the lot of you and let me wallow in self pity with my pups," she growls. Tears began to streak her cheeks as she hears the door closes. The bed slumps on Talia's side, "go away.
You're very mean to me and I don't like you right now," she whimpers.

Strong arms caress her slowly, "baby," Talia murmurs, "baby you know I would break you out of here because I would rather have you by my side," she coos.

Teddy scoff, "no you don't," she counters.

Talia slowly pulls Teddy to look at her. She wipes those tears, "you know that isn't true and you know I would," she expresses, "you are carrying our babies and they're almost full term in a couple of days. I want them evicted already," she chuckles.

Theo smiles at that before pouting, "Talia I just want to be able to see Calev. Not even Rory can come visit," she responds.

Nat smiles sweetly, "fine," she sighs defeatedly, "that damn pouting does me in all the time and I know you do that on purpose," she chortles, "you're not to leave the room but I'll call Amara," she argues.

Teddy pulls Talia to her lips, "thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm quite peevish of Letty bossing me around, I need this," she expresses.

Talia brushes her nose against Theo's, "you're welcome baby and since I'm being generous, you can have dessert as well but just one scoop of ice cream this time," she responds.

Theo guffaws, "you're amazing you know that," she squeals.

Nat kisses her nose, "now stop that bickering, I have some work to do," she whispers.

Arcane tightens her hold on her wife, "I love you Natalia Romanova," she murmurs.

"I love you more Theodora Romanova," she returns with a smile.

Theo goes stiff as the coldness under her grows, "дерьмо(shit)" she curses.

"Baby what's wrong?" Talia asks in a panic.

"My water broke," Theo answers worriedly.

Talia's eyes were blown wide. She hurries through the room grabbing their bags before she hails Scarlett and Everly to help her to the Range Rover.

In the matter of minutes, Theo closes her eyes to help subside the contraction coursing through her body. Her bulging belly was a miraculous thing to endure such though she had to praise her deity blood for the supernatural remedies that kept her body pristine. But curse the fact that contractions are seriously like taking bullets as another erupts. Her hand grips the center console, "putain ça fait mal (fuck this hurts)" she hisses in French as Letty's amused laughter catches her attention.

"Darling, you're wild," Letty sputters as Everly scolds her.

"Don't listen to her Theo, just take deep breaths. We're almost there," Everly coos.

Talia's hand grips hers tightly, "baby, just hold on we're almost there. Just breath," she soothes calmly that astounds Theo.

Theo shifts towards her leaning her head on her wife's arm, "Talia please drive faster, the babies are doing a number on me," she mumbles.

Talia floors the pedal worriedly. She screeches the SUV in the emergency roundabout rushing to call for assistance.
