The Avengers Tower had been quiet for the next few days. They weren't sure how to feel about Y/Ns news. They also wanted her to feel comfortable and not talk about it, which she appreciated.

They were all in the lounge watching a movie, including Y/N.

"So." Tony broke the silence. "Picked any names out?" 

Everyone turned to look at him.

"What?", he asked.

"You think that's the best thing to ask?", Nat asked.

"Well, I just wanted to break the ice, it's getting a little chilly in here and I didn't particularly wanna end up like capsicle here.", he pointed towards Steve. 

Steve shook his head.

"Fine, fair enough Tony.", Y/N said.

"Y/N you don't have to.", Nat said.

"It's fine Nat. Go on Tony, do you have anything to say?", Y/N asked.

The team was quiet, waiting for Tony's response.

"Well, I'm actually pleased.", he said.

"Huh?", Pietro said out loud.

"You're pleased?", Y/N raised an eyebrow.

"Look Y/N, I know I've been harsh on you.", he began.

"No shit.", Nat added.

"Anyway.", he said ignoring Nat. "I've had to step back a little and evaluate my life such as yourself and I've realised I've needed to grow up, not too much of course.", he chuckled. "I want to apologise, I truly am sorry for how I've acted. I read your file, I know it took me forever and I must say I was extremely unfair on you and I'm sorry." 

Y/N smiled, "Thankyou Tony, I really appreciate it." 

"Truce?", he reached his hand out for her to shake.

She took his hand and shook it, "Truce".

"Wow, never thought I'd see the day," Sam joked.

"Wait can we go back to what Tony said.", Wanda requested. "What do you mean, you've had to evaluate your life like Y/N?"

"Yeah Tony, that sounded suspicious." Nat added.

"Well.", he started. "I've kept a little secret myself. Pepper hasn't been avoiding me, she's just been taking some time off because we're expecting." 

"Holy shit", Nat replied.

"Congratulations Tony." Steve said, while patting his shoulder.

Followed by the rest of the teams congratulations.

Tony looked at Y/N "It'll be nice to have two little Avengers running around growing up with each other." 

Y/N smiled, "I guess it will be." She looked at Matteo and he was smiling too.

"As exciting as this all is, Y/N you are no longer allowed on missions.", Steve explained.

Y/N nodded, "As I expected, thanks Steve. I'll still help as much as I can from the inside." 

"That's the Y/N we know and love". Nat said.

Bucky kept his distance since he accidentally revealed to the team of Y/Ns pregnancy.

Avoiding team gatherings, not attending meetings. Refusing to eat with the team.

He sighed, staring out into the city. He stood leaning against the railing of the balcony of the tower. It was dark, the wind kept him calm and at peace, he liked it.
