Chapter 37

Natasha woke up, thinking she had to throw up but realising that she actually didn't have to. Her mind had always liked playing games with her or maybe it was the baby this time. She didn't know and she didn't care. She was too tired to care about anything but the warmth from the bed. So she simply sneaked down beneath the covers and laid down beside Steve again. He was so comfortable and warm, like a big teddy bear. She stared at his peaceful face for a few minutes, wondering what dreams hid behind those closed eyes. His blond hair was a mess but he somehow pulled it off, making it look really nice anyway. "Good morning." He suddenly said with a husky voice that would make any woman drop to their knees, including Natasha herself. His eyes fluttered opened and she stared into his sea blue eyes. It's funny how some people actually get lost at sea but for her, it only took one pair of blue eyes to forget about everything and everyone. Steve smiled as he looked at her. His almost pink lips opened up a bit and reviled those perfect white teeth of his. At least they'd  have a baby with a nice smile, she thought and couldn't help but chuckle softly. Steve smiled even brighter. "What's on your mind?" He asked, bringing her a little closer. "Nothing, It's just, this baby is going to be so perfect. He's not going to have any friends. They'll all hate him. Everyone hates everything perfect." She said, still chuckling. "I don't remember hating you." Steve said and Natasha hit his arm softly at the cheesy comment but smiled. "And he?" Steve asked. "I have a feeling." Natasha smiled. She suddenly felt Steve's hand on her stomach and he smiled. "I bet it's a girl." He said and Natasha smirked. "The one who looses will have to change the diapers for a week, and the winner gets to choose which week." Natasha said and Steve bit his lip a little. "Deal." He said. Natasha smirked, raising out her hand. Instead of shaking it, Steve grabbed her waist, pressing her to him as he kissed her lips. "Deal." She mumbled on his lips.

Natasha's phone suddenly started buzzing and she picked it up from the nightstand. Steve looked at her, his eyes still a bit tired. He waited for her to finish the conversation so he could go back to holding her tightly. "We'll be right there." She said, hanging up. Steve moaned at that, grabbing her waist as she tried to get out of bed. "No no no.." Steve begged, dragging her down beside him. "Don't go somewhere." He mumbled into her neck. Natasha smiled, but succeeded to break herself free from his grip. "WE are going to SHIELD." Natasha said. Steve moaned, putting his pillow over his head. Natasha got into a pair of jeans that fit, because every pair didn't anymore and it actually bothered her more than the morning sickness. Getting fat and not fitting in her cat suit isn't something she looked forward to. When she was dressed and ready, Steve still laid in bed. She sighed, walking into the bedroom before sitting down next to him. "We need to go." She said but only received a mumble from Steve. "We'll go in five minutes or I won't sleep with you tonight." Natasha then said and Steve laughed. He lifted up the pillow from his face, cocking one eyebrow as he smirked at her. "That doesn't work when we both know you want it more." He said, putting the pillow over his face again. Natasha cursed, knowing it was the truth. She stood up and put her hands on her hips. "I'll go alone then. But it's work and anything could happen. But I'm sure our baby will be fine when I bring down guys with my thighs." She said and at that, Steve stood in front of her, dressed and ready. "Let's go." He said and Natasha smirked.

"It's just a meeting?" Steve complained as they reached SHIELD headquarters. Natasha nodded, buttoning her jacket a bit so no one would notice the not so yet visible baby bump. It was hard to notice but she didn't want to risk it. "A very important one apparently." Natasha said, smiling brightly as she saw Clint a few meters in front of them. "What are you doing here?" She asked him in a teasing voice. "Isn't it time for you to retire soon? Put that arrow and bow on a shelf maybe?" Natasha said but Clint only smiled. "You've been away from work longer than I will be retired." He said as he embraced her in a hug. Steve chuckled a bit at that. Natasha walked into the room and sat down in one of the chairs as Steve looked after her. "How is she doing? After the accident and all of that?" Clint asked. "She barley calls me every day anymore." Clint said and Steve chuckled. "Wait, you talk on the phone every day?" Steve asked and Clint nodded like it was an obvious thing. "She's doing good. Mostly good actually. We're really good." Steve said, not keeping his eyes off Natasha. Clint looked at Steve. "Wow. You're actually doing really good." He said, smiling. Steve nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, we are." Steve said. "Well, I'll tell you one thing.." Clint said, putting a hand on Steve's shoulder. "No guy is worthy of Natasha but you are pretty close man." He continued and Steve smiled. "Thanks, I think." Clint walked into the room, taking a seat next to Natasha. Steve smiled as Natasha and Clint immediately picked up a conversation while waiting for the meeting to start. Seeing her smile and laugh at Clint's old jokes made him so happy. She loved working so much and it actually pained him that she's been away from it for so long. It must have been really hard for her since this place has always been like a sort of home for her. At least when she didn't have anything else. Natasha and Clint kept talking but Steve couldn't help but to feel joy in his entire body as Natasha held both of her hands on her belly the entire time.
