Within a couple of weeks multiple houses in the same neighborhood got robbed. The police said they were coincidental and decided on not investigating further. But it didn't sit right with you, especially because it was the neighborhood you had spent a lot of your childhood in. So, you stepped to the team to see if there was anyone willing to help.

Most of the team agreed to help you. Together you set up a plan to patrol the neighborhood for a couple weeks. In groups of two you would patrol, a morning, day, and night shift. You were grateful for their help in making the residents feel safe in their own homes.

For today's day shift you and Natasha patrolled the streets. It was a nice way to spend some time with your girlfriend, while also helping the local people. You were both in full attire walking down the streets, changing up the route you took each round.

With your usually quite busy schedules you weren't able go on dates that often. Not that patrolling your old neighborhood was a date, but I was time spend together where you weren't in high-risk situations keeping you from conversation.

You told her about your childhood. A topic neither one of you discussed often. This neighborhood was the place you had spent the longest amount of time, as a kid you had moved from home to home, never staying anywhere long. The family they put you with here felt like it was going to last forever, up until one day the social workers came and took you away once again. Still, some of your favorite memories were spend in these streets. You were telling Nat all about them when a voice from behind you caught your attention, you turned around when you heard the voice say, "Y/n?"

Realisation hits, "Jules?" When the woman nods a smile appears on your face. "Hey, Nat I'll be right back. This is the girl I was just telling you about. I'll catch up with you in a bit." You kiss her cheek when she tells you to take your time.

You walk over to Jules, "Wow, it has been a long time. Do you still live here?" You ask as you are just a couple steps away from her. "It sure has, it's good to see you again though. You know like besides on the news and stuff." She smiles like she cannot believe that her childhood best friend became an Avenger and was now standing in front of her again. "I moved out, but my parents still live here. I try to visit as often as possible. My mom mentioned that the Avengers were keeping an eye out on the neighborhood, but I didn't expect to actually run into you."

Jules and you share a short conversation since you are still at work and have to get back soon. So, mostly you talked about the night the social workers took you away, the reason you weren't able to say goodbye to her. You decide to exchange numbers so you can meet up to catch up on each other's lives some more.

When she hands you her phone to put in your contact you saw a picture of her with a little kid, "Is she yours?" Her face lights up, "Yes, that's my little girl, y/n. I named her after the best friend I ever had." You felt the tears fill up your eyes. "Oh Jules." You say quickly wiping away the tear that escaped, "I hope I'll get to meet her one day and I want you to know you meant a lot to me too. I'm so happy to run into you here. I was just telling Natasha about some of my best memories here with you. I can't wait to have you back in my life again."

Jules pulls you in for a hug, when you part she says, "Talking about Natasha, I can't wait to hear the story of how you met ­the Black Widow, and you know how you got together." You smile, "So people do know we're together." You chuckle, "Well, you did just kiss her, but yes I knew. We might have spent a long-time apart y/n, but I can still read those eyes like a book."

You and Natasha never hid your relationship from the public, but you just also never publicly announced that you were in a relationship. You went on dates in public locations and everything, that the public seemed to think you were just best friends hanging out was on them, you just never felt the urge to publicly announce what the two of you had together. You had both agreed to just be and do whatever you wanted, and they could believe what they wanted. It was nice hearing that Jules could see from just your eyes that the two of you were a couple.

When you said your goodbyes with the promise to meet up soon, you turned around and jogged away to catch up to Natasha. The sight when you rounded the corner melted your heart. Nat was crouched down on the floor in front of a family's front yard. She was playing peekaboo with the little children that were playing there. The parents were smiling while taking pictures and videos as one of the Avengers took time out of her day to entertain their kids.

The kids were giggling, but when they saw you walk up next to Natasha their jaws dropped. "Mommy, another superhero!" One of the kids squealed. You smiled and waved at them, "Hi kids!"

"Hey baby" You whisper when Nat got up. She smiles and greets you back and turns to the kids again, "We've got to go back to work, but it was very nice meeting you all, and remember to eat your veggies to grow strong, just like me." She flexed her muscles a bit while saying it. You shook your head, you loved this woman with your whole heart. You both wave bye to the kids before you go on your way again.

You started walking through the streets again. "How was seeing Jules again, my love?" You tell her how amazing it was and that you'll be meeting up with her soon to catch up some more. "It was like continued right where we left off. Like not as kids, but it felt like we were still us, you know?" Natasha nods in understanding. "Oh, and she named her little girl after me, that's so crazy right!"

"Wow, that's so cool! It seems like you made just as big of an impact on her life as she did on yours. I'm glad you found her again." She says giving your hand a quick squeeze.

You continued patrolling the street for another hour, where Natasha shared memories from her time with her family in Ohio. How her time with Melina, Alexei and Yelena was truly the only time growing up she considered family time. You had met her family many times now, and even got to see some pictures of her at that age. "I had blue hair at some point." She shared. "What? How have I never seen a picture of that. I bet you looked so cute! I'm going to have to call Melina to send me a picture." You say nudging her shoulder.

"No need." She smiles and pulls out her phone. Removing her case to reveal a torn photobooth picture of her and Yelena as kids. "I was right, you look so cute. Adorable even." Nat smiles as she puts the picture back. At the same time her phone dings.

Bucky: We've got it from here, go take your girl on a date.

Attached is a picture of him and Sam doing some weird pose. "Bucky just texted, he said him and Sam are here for the next shift. So, we can go home." Nat smiled putting her phone away. "Since we have the rest of the night off, would you maybe like to go out for dinner with me?" You take her hand and smile, "Yes, I would very much love to go on a date with you."

Back at the compound you both take a shower and get ready. When Natasha knocks on your door wearing the leather jacket you loved on her so much, your stomach filled with butterflies. "You look amazing." You say taking her held out hand. She pulls you in for a soft kiss, "You look beautiful, y/n."

Natasha drives you to a small local restaurant, you take a table outside and order your drinks and meals. You're enjoying each other's company when your mind goes back to earlier when Nat was playing peekaboo with the kids. Natasha notices a smile appearing on your face, "What's up?"

"Oh, I was just thinking about earlier when you were playing peekaboo with the kids. You're going to be a great mom someday." Nat smiles and reaches for your hand over the table, squeezing it once she takes hold of yours. "Thank you, Detka. You're going to be a great mom too, our kids will be so loved." Butterflies fill your stomach once again. With a smile you answer, "Yes they will."
