NATASHA POV//
I watch Steve in the kitchen as I sit on the couch in the living room sorting through a book of baby names. "Any good ones." He asks handing me a spoon of peanut butter as he sits down next to me. "Wanda has a suggestion." I say laughing turning the book towards Steve to show him the name "Wanda" circled several times in red pen. He chuckles and takes the book from me, flipping through the pages. "If it's a boy-" I begin to say as Steve looks up at me, "how about James?" I suggest and I see him smile a bit. "I love it." He says softly leaning into me, kissing my lips and i feel my body go warm. He pulls away and sits back down flipping through the pages. His eyes widen and he quickly sits up. "Anastasia." He says catching my attention. "Like the Russian Duchess." He adds. Anastasia. I say in my mind, over and over. "It's perfect." I say back smirking and he laughs back kissing me once again. Right when his lips touch mine I quickly pull away, placing a hand on my stomach. I bite my teeth together, and squeeze my eyes shut. I feel my stomach tighten and Steve looks at me, his eyes wide and his body tense. The feeling stops and I take a deep breath. "What was that?" He asks calming down a bit. "Should I call Banner?" He asks again and I shake my head feeling the tightening in my stomach again. "They're just...braxton hicks contractions." I say taking deep breaths in and out as the pain stops. "Contractions?!" He says, his eyes becoming even wider as he almost jumps up. I laugh a bit shaking my head, "They're false contractions, it happens in the last month of pregnancy." I say as I see him calm down taking in a few deep breaths himself. "Nervous?" I ask mocking him a bit. He sends me an awkward smile back rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, "Is it that obvious." I laugh again and nod my head. I lean up against him resting my head on his shoulder. "You're gonna be a great dad, Steve." I say trying to comfort him. He wraps him arms around me, "Yeah, I hope so."

STEVE POV//
Later that night we both got dressed up to head over to the Avengers Tower for Tony's birthday. I wore a blue button up, while Natasha slipped into a form fitting dress that fit her pregnant curvy body in every perfect way. The party was small, pepper made sure of that. The only ones there were the Avengers along with some of Tony's other friends. I see Bucky alone across the room and walk over to him. "Hey." I say and he turns to me, "Hey, how...are you?" He says back. "As good as new." I say and he lets out a quiet sigh. "How's Nat?" He asks as we both direct our attention over to Natasha across the room, who stands there laughing with peppers hand on her stomach. "She's great, we both are." I say admiring her. Just then a drunken Tony stumbles across the room in one of his suits. I feel my pulse slowly rise, as I've seen what he can do with one of his suits, and not to mention after downing a bottle of fireball. I look at Bucky whose already looking back at me, thinking the same thing. He nods and runs over to Tony who tries to swat him away like a fly. I quickly walk over to Natasha who has a worried look on her face while holding her stomach with one hand. I step in front of her and keep her behind me with one arm as Rohdey enters the room in his War Machine suit. "Tony..." he says cautionary walking towards him. "Take the suit off, you're gonna hurt someone." He says walking closer as everyone begins to flee the room in a stampede. "I'm not gonna hur-" Tony begins to say slurring his words as he throws his hands in the air, one on them setting off a bright blast shattering the glass wall next to them. As the glass breaks and flys everywhere I cover Natasha's body with mine and we hide behind the bar. "You need to go down stairs with the others." I say and she raises one of her eyebrows at me, "Not happening." She says back and I roll my eyes. We both peak over the bar trying to see what's happening. "Oops." Tony's says looking down at the glass. "Told you." Rohdey says giving Tony a sharp look. "No one got hurt." He says back reluctantly taking the suit off. "Well that's not what happened last time. " Rohdey says walking out of his suit to catch Tony almost falling in every which way. He leads him out of the room and down into the hallway where the bathroom is. "Guess he had a fun night." Natasha says as i stand up. I look down at Natasha who's still on the ground struggling to get up. I smirk at her struggling before grabbing her hands and helping her. "Thanks." She says smiling back in a cheery tone. "Getting harder?" I say teasing her a bit as we walk out of the room and she nudges my shoulder back. We head down to the main floor to see everyone crowded around. "No one got hurt-" I say, "but if you'd like to smell vomit for the next few hours, then I wouldn't go back up." Natasha says finishing my statement. We head back to the apartment and Natasha quickly undresses and crawls into bed, me not far behind her. She lays on her back and I plop down next to her on my stomach looking up at her. I plant gentle kisses along her belly and she laughs and giggles. I watch her belly move around from the baby within her a slowly move my kisses up going to her neck then cheek.

NATASHA POV//
I quickly fall asleep after getting into bed even with Steve kissing me. I later wake up standing in a dark room. It looks familiar and a feel a chill go down my back. No. I can't be here. How? A tall, deadly pale women enters the room. "Why hello, Natalia." She says in her deep Russian accent. "No...no, I'm.. im dreaming." I say to her but she shakes her head. "It is...at least for now." She says walking closer to me. "She looks just like you, but her eyes... one of yours and one of his." I tilt my head in confusion and look down. "Oh god." I say feeling my flat stomach as tears fall from my eyes. I'm wearing a blue hospital gown that is covered in fresh blood from my stomach. I look back up at her, my entire body shaking to see her holding a small baby girl wrapped in a pink blanket. My eyes jump open and I'm in my bed with Steve asleep at my side. I place my hand on my stomach and let out a sigh as i feel the baby kick me softly. "I'll never let anyone hurt you."
