Memories - Romanogers Fanfic

Let's go Home

Steve left Natasha's room and closed the door. He stood outside, trying to understand what had just happened. Natasha stroked his hand, or it was just an impression? Was she really caressing his hand, or was she just trying to make him feel the babis? Steve is pretty aware that he can understand any signal coming from her in the wrong way, the way he wants it to be and not what it really is.

- Are you alright, sir?

Steve looked at the nurse who thought something was wrong with him.

Steve nodded.

S: Yes, thank you.

If Natasha is trying to get close to him, it could be just a pregnancy effect, or it could be for real, or she might not be trying anything. In any case, in what of thos situations, Steve wouldn't ended up hurt? That was his though, and he always comes to the same conclusion: he would get hurt.

Natasha trying something, now that he's so close to his freedom... No... no way. He can't take a chance, so he can't even have any form of contact with her now, because if she is really trying something, he still not that strong and if he looks into her green eyes, it becomes much easier to give in to her charms.

Steve left the hospital and did not return to visit Natasha, despite going to the hospital to know about her condition and the babies'. Cho said that Natasha had a little bleeding at night, but that was normal and didn't offer risk to her nor the babies.

...

A few weeks later, Natasha was already able to walk around the room and around the hospital corridors and from time to time she would threaten to leave the hospital for good, but she ended up beind conviced to stay by the nurses and also because she feels pain when she walks too much.

Natasha heard knocks on the door, she waited for the person to come in and she always thinks it will be Steve, but it was not him. Again.

If it wasn't him yesterday or the day before yesterday, why would it be him today, you stupid? Natasha fought with herself.

Nick Fury entered the room.

NF: Romanoff, how are you?

N: Huge.

NF: Indeed. So, boys or girls?

N: Both.

NF: A boy and a girl? Interesting. What are the names?

N: I don't know.

Nick looked confused.

N: Their father didn't decide and didn't even show up around here anymore, so I don't know.

Natasha sighed and sat down on the bed. Fury approached.

NF: He's hurt, Natasha. He's moving on.

N: Yeah, without me.

NF: Yes. Sometimes people get tired of chasing someone. I'm not saying you made him chase after you on purpose, life threw a big prank on you when you had that accident and woke up without any memory, but try to see his side too.

N: I see his side! I always did and I'm sorry! I really am, but I didn't love him, Fury. Should I have lied?

NF: No. I'm not saying that, but now you do love him, and why don't you tell him?

Natasha laughed and shook her head.

N: He doesn't even show up here anymore. I think he lost the love he claimed he had for me.
