''What is this place?'' Thor asked as the team went out of the jet.

''A safe house?''

''Let's hope,'' Clint said as he helped Natasha walk.

''It's our only hope.'' Alice shrugged.

''Honey I am home,'' Clint yelled. Just when the voice came out of his mouth a woman appeared in their view. It was a tall brunette pregnant woman, Alice suspected was Laura, Clint's wife. The woman approached her husband and kissed him gently.

''This is an agent of some kind'' Tony told them, making suggestions about the woman in front of them.

''Everyone, this is Laura.'' Clint introduced his wife.

''I know all your names.'' Laura smiled.

In that delightful moment, the sound of footsteps and the joyful laughter of children filled the air, making Clint giggle with joy.

''Ohh incoming.'' He said and took to his arms his little angels, or smaller soldiers as Tony described them.

''Did you bring auntie Nat?'' The little girl asked.

''Why don't you hug her and find out?'' Natasha couldn't hold back her smile and instantly span her around.

''Sorry for barging in on you'' Steve said.

''Yeah we could have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed,'' Tony answered, Yeah in the usual sarcastic way.

''For Helga's sake, godfather, that hurt.'' Alice giggled.

''Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off SHILED's files, I'd like to keep it that way.'' Clint smiled softly at them. ''I figured it's a good place to lay low.''

Alice and Steve turned their heads, looking at Thor, who brutally destroyed the colourful house, while Natasha went closer to the pregnant woman and gently touched her belly.

''Congratulations to you for the baby. I hope he or she will grow up as a strong, healthy and kind person''

''Thank you, Alice. I wish for you to experience the pregnancy soon.'' The girl thanked Laura for her nice words. Then Steve's hand went out of his pockets and wandered down to Alice's hand; he took her palm on his without looking at her, squeezing it. But... In a few seconds, Alice slowly let her hand leave his grip and asked Laura what was the gender of the baby.

''It's a little Natasha of course. How is my girl?'' Natasha leaned against the belly asking her question.

''Actually... It's Nathaniel.''

''Traitor.''

Steve was still in shock. Why would Alice take her hand away from his? Had he done something? He prayed to be just a coincidence.
