It was 7am when Steve woke up from his sleep. He looked beside him in bed and laid his arm on the empty spot. Steve dragged himself out of bed and went into the shower.

After Steve packed all his belongings, he walked downstairs and grabbed a quick breakfast before hitting the road back to New York. He didn't bother to leave a note, he just walked out of the door without saying goodbye.


Two months later...


"Here is your paperwork, Tony." Natasha says as she put them down.

"Yeah, yeah, I can't work on that now since you forgot to reschedule my appointment with Banner." Tony says

"What? I forgot? I'm so sorry, Tony. I just haven't been feeling well and I had to throw up earlier, so that's when I forgot." Natasha says, "I can try to reschedule it now."

"Don't bother, he's already on his way." Tony says

"Damn it!" Natasha says

"Hey, hey, calm down, Red. It's not your fault." Tony says and got up to hug Natasha. "You should see a doctor if you're not feeling fine."

"No, I'm fine." Natasha says

"Are you on your period?" Tony asks

"Tony! And no, it's not until... until..." Natasha trailed off, "Maybe I should see a doctor."

"Great, so take the rest of the day off and get better soon." Tony says and pushed Natasha out of the door. He grabbed her purse from her desk and pushed it in her hands.

"Thanks." Natasha says

"Now, chop, chop, off you go." Tony says and waved her out of the area.

Natasha walked to the elevator and stepped inside. She pulled out her phone and called Pepper.

"Hi, are you busy? I need you." Natasha says

"I'm free." Pepper says, "Do you want to come over?"

"I'll be there in 10." Natasha says and hung up.

Ten minutes later Natasha sat on Pepper's couch with a cushion in her lap.

"So." Pepper starts

"So..." Natasha says

"What's up?" Pepper asks

"I might be pregnant." As soon as those words left Natasha's lips Pepper became stunned.

"What makes you think that?" Pepper asks

"I missed my period..." Natasha says

"That doesn't mean anything." Pepper says

"For two months." Natasha says

"Okay, well, that is bad." Pepper says, "Have you tested yet?"

"No." Natasha says

"Do you want to?" Pepper says

"I don't know, I wouldn't know what to do then." Natasha says

"We'll figure it out." Pepper says, "Just sit here, have a cookie and I'll get you a test."

"Thank you." Natasha says

Natasha waited impatiently as she sat on the couch waiting for Pepper. Once Pepper returned Natasha went to the bathroom and Pepper prepared some tea for the two of them.

Natasha exited the bathroom with the test in her hand, she put it on the table and sat back down on the couch.

"Here is some green tea." Pepper says and handed Natasha her tea.
