Romanogers// The Spy&The Solider

Chapter 10

STEVE POV//
I wake up with Natasha sleeping quietly in my arms. I look down at the beautiful red head as her eyes slowly open. She looks back up at me and pulls my head into hers and passionately kisses me and I kiss her back. "I need to get up." I say pulling back for air. She moans, "One more minute." She says planting small kisses on my bullet scars. I chuckle a bit letting her kiss me again until I've lost track of time. I place my hand on her cheek and slowly push away, "I'm going to be late." I say. She rolls her eyes and pouts crossing her arms, "Fine." I get up from bed and head into the bathroom and undress myself, turning the shower on. I see Natasha as she pulls a pillow over top of her head in the middle of the bed. The hot water runs down my body and wakes me up. Once I finish I grab a towel and tie it around my waist heading out into the kitchen where I find Natasha eating cereal. "Morning." I say walking over to her kissing her warm cheek. "Huuy." She says her mouth full of cereal and we both laugh. "How's your bruise?" I ask and she gently lifts her shirt revealing the large patch of blue and purple. "Not much better." She says letting her shirt back down. I walk over to the fridge and pour a glass of orange juice. "How long will you be gone again?" She asks grabbing my cup of orange juice sipping from it. "Just over night, and it's not a big mission. Just me and Buck." I say watching her sip my juice. I head back into the bedroom where my patriotic suit was hanging and stand there a second staring at it. I look over at the time and realize I'm almost late so I quickly put the suit on and walk back out of the bedroom grabbing my shield on the way out. Natasha places her dishes down in the sink and walks over to me. "Be safe." She says in a hushed voice. I smile back, "I always am." She goes up on her toes and pulls me in close. She presses her lips to mine and I can't help but smile at the feeling of her belly pushing into me. I pull back looking down at our unborn child and squat down next to her. "You be good for you mommy, okay?" I whisper to her stomach. She laughs a bit as I stand back up and I kiss her quickly one last time before walking out the door.

NATASHA POV//
The day seemed like it took a year without Steve. I hate to say it but I miss his, a lot. I try to distract myself as much as possible through out the day. I get lunch with Clint, I rent a one of my favorite movies, "A Beautiful Mind", I look at baby names in a book that Wanda got us. But still the day seems never ending. By the time the sun has set and the stars have peaked through the night sky I'm fast asleep on the couch, not wanting to sleep in the bed without Steve. Around 3am I get a call from Steve's cell waking me up. Why would Steve be calling me? I wonder picking up the phone. "Steve?" I say in a groggy voice rubbing my tires eyes. A deep voiced man picks the phone up. "Natasha?" The voice asks "Fury?" I ask back. "Natasha....you need to come to SHEILD immediately." Fury says in a somewhat panicked tone. "Wait..why?" I ask as I feel my hands begin to shake. "Please, hurry." Fury says hanging up the phone. I sit there on the couch staring off into the distance my phone still held to my ear. He had Steve's phone. Why would he have Steve's phone. Something's wrong, I think to myself as I pick up a hoodie and my keys almost running out of the door.

I arrive at SHEILD and the place looks like it's gone to hell. Agents scattered running around, trainees standing around looking scared, as usual. I see Bucky sitting in a chair with his head in his hands. I walk as fast as i can over to him and kneel beside him. "Where's Steve." I say my voice cracking. He lifts his head and looks up at me his eyes widened and full of tears. He begins to shake his head, "Im so sorry." He says his entire body paralyzed with fear. "I'm so...so sorry." I take a few steps back realized what might have happened. "ROMANOFF!" I hear someone shout from across the room. I look over to see Fury running in my direction out of breath. "Follow me." He says panting and we head back in the direction he came from. We walk down several long corridors until we reach a closed off room with the blinds shut. Fury walks in and I stand still, stuck in my tracks right outside the door. Fury looks at me, he takes my shaking hand and slowly leads me into the room. Steve lies on a bed, unconscious. His face is bruised badly and he has several cut all along the skin that I can see. "He was shot 4 times in the abdomen." Fury says and I nod my head, pushing tears back in my eyes. "They were ambushed, somehow...they knew we were coming. Right when they got there the soldiers started to shoot, bombs where going off, bodies flying everywhere." He stops. I sit down next to Steve and hold his cold hand. "I'll leave you alone." Fury says exiting the room and I nod. "Steve?" I ask my voice shaking as tears are streaming down my cheeks. "Please...come back." I say begging. "You're baby girl needs you." A loud beep fills the room. I look over at his monitor and see a flat line as doctors and nurses rush in. "He's coding, someone get the defibrillator, push 300 volts." Someone yells to another doctor. Someone grabs my shoulders and directs me out of the room and everything feels as if it's all happening in slow motion. I watch from outside of the window as his body jolts up several times. But the monitor still remains flat. After about 10 minutes the doctors step away. Some bowing there heads and some with tears in there eyes. "Steve Rogers, time of death... 4:37"
