Clintasha: The Baby

Part 14

Third person point of view:

"Jarvis unlock the door!" the latch released and the red head ran through the door to the bathroom across the hall and emptied her stomach contents into the toilet. 

"Are you OK agent Romanoff? I could wake agent Barton or Dr. Banner if you need assistance." the AI asked concerned 

"No it's too early. I'm fine. How early is it anyway?" she rushed to get out as she retched again

"It's nearly 6:30. Captain Rogers has just returned from his run, if you want I can call him. I am also supposed to wake agent Hill at 7:00 if you would prefer her."

"No Jarvis I am fine. I can deal with this on my own." she paused and threw up again "I need to deal with this on my own." she nearly whispered 

"Agent Romanoff why won't you let me call anyone to help you?" he asked her while calling Bruce who had just finished his morning coffee 

"Because there is nothing wrong with me Jarvis. It's just morning sickness it will pass." she said while trying to hold down the bile in her throat 

"You are pregnant?" the AI asked profoundly confused. Before Natasha could respond Bruce burst through the door with his med bag in hand 

"Natasha! Are you OK? Jarvis called me and told me you needed help." He said rushing over and holding her hair back while she threw up

"I am fine Bruce. I told Jarvis not to call you. Sorry."

"You are pretty obviously not fine. Jarvis told me you have been throwing up for at least twenty minutes." Bruce said exasperated 

"Bruce I'm pregnant. Remember? It's just morning sickness. I will be fine." Natasha said leaning against the wall for support 

"Oh sorry. In all honesty I kinda thought last night was a dream." He said blushing 

"It's fine. Thank you for coming any way. Let me take a shower, then I will go upstairs and make some breakfast." Bruce nodded and shut the door, he then went next door to tell Clint what was going on.

"Clint! Clint!" Bruce yelled from the door before realizing that he must not have his hearing aids in. He walked over and patted Clint on the shoulder and was met with a groggy grunt from Clint who rolled over and saw Bruce and threw the covers over his half naked body. "What the hell Bruce!" Clint screamed and Bruce quickly signed "Put your hearing aids in" 

Clint quickly put them in and turned them on "What the hell is going on Bruce!" 

"Natasha has been throwing up for the last half hour. She is in the shower now. You should probably get some clothes out for her." Bruce said matter of factually

"What the hell! Why didn't she tell me?" he asked while throwing on a shirt that was next to the bed 

"She didn't want to bother anyone. Jarvis called me. I would suggest wearing your hearing aids so you can hear her the next time it happens. I mean it is your kid after all."

"Shit! You're right!" Clint said ashamed "I can't believe I wasn't there for her." 

"Don't worry. We all have to get used to it, just be there for her next time, she is going to need you a lot more soon, no matter what she thinks." Bruce said putting his hand on Clint's shoulder. Clint nodded and Bruce left so Clint could get dressed. As the door closed Clint made a promise to himself that he wouldn't Natasha go through this alone. He would be there for every bad moment and great memory that happened during this pregnancy and his kid's life. He would not end up like his father.
