His Widow

ch.8

Tony had never really been a deep sleeper so when all of a sudden, a body next to him started shaking, him waking up freaking out Is an understatement. Tony sat up quickly just as Yelena did to see Natasha shaking like she was having a seizer between them. "Go get Melina, I'll try to get her to stay still." Tony told the blond as he started to gather Nat into his arms and press her back into his front. Yelena was out of the room like a shot, the sound of a door slamming open somewhere down the hall was all that was heard. "It's okay princess, I've got you. I'm not gonna let anything hurt you again. I promise." Tony whispered into her sweaty hair as he kissed the crown of her head. Natasha's shaking was waning a little but still violent enough it caused him to grunt. Luckily her head hasn't tried to smack into his. Yelena and Melina ran into the room, Melina turned the light on as Yelena sat on Nat's legs to try and keep them pinned. "How long had this gone on?" Melina asked as she moved over towards them and checked Nat's eyes with a pen light. "This is the first time I've seen this, but in regards to now, maybe a minute or two." Tony said as a gasp left Natasha's mouth and she gave a great jerk making Tony tighten his hold on her. "Wha? What's going on? Damn, my head" Nat groaned as she dropped her head back onto Tony's shoulder. Yelena slowly got off her sister's legs and Tony shifted her into a more comfortable position on his lap. "You were having a seizure Natalia, how many of these have you had?" Melina asked as she carded her fingers through her eldest daughter's hair. Nat groaned again and shoved her face into Tony's throat. "Is that what that was? Felt like my body was locking up. First time, I think. Don't remember waking up in this much pain since after Vormir." Nat said as she tried to curl into a ball on Tony's lap. Melina hummed as she moved her hand to the back of Nat's head. "F.R.I.D.A.Y. would have told me if she was having seizers. Do you think it's like PTSD?" Tony asked making Melina look at him. She hummed again before she leaned forward and kissed Nat's head and then Yelena's, she carded her fingers through Tony's hair. "Maybe, she relieved a piece of pain from the event and her body still remembers falling and hitting the ground. Keep an eye on it and let me know if it happens again." Melina said as she started towards the door. Before she flicked off the light she looked back over at Tony with a small smile. "Thank you. For keeping her safe and caring for her." Melina said as she flicked off the light and closed the door. Yelena slowly slid back under the covers and helped Tony slide Natasha back into the middle, when Tony finally slid into his spot Nat rolled over and tucked her head under his chin. "Please hold me." She whispered softly, Tony kissed her head and wrapped his arm around her and used the other one to draw Yelena's attention. Yelena took the hint and pressed herself up against Nat's back making the redhead sigh in relief. "We got you Princess, sleep now." Tony said as he kissed her head again and pressed his cheek to the top of her head.

Nat woke up to the sounds of pots and pans clanging in the kitchen, the feeling of Yelena pressed into her back was gone but she was still in Tony's strong hold. She smiled a little as her head followed Tony's even breathing. "Natalia, you and Stark need to come down for breakfast." Her mother said from the doorway. Nat grunted and pinched Tony's side making him yelp as she slipped out of bed and snatched one of Yelena's sweatpants. Tony grumbled as he slipped his pants on from the day before and tugged his shirt back on as well. Tony followed Nat as she padded down the stairs and towards the dining room. "Taliya, tebe luchshe?" Yelena asked softly as she walked over to her sister. Nat smiled and held her hand out for her to grasp. When Yelena did just that Natasha tugged her sister into her arms. "I have a migraine still, but I'm better." Nat said truthfully making Tony and Melina look at her. Yelena touched her forehead to her sister's and sighed softly.

Taliya, tebe luchshe?-Talia, are you better?
