When Nick Coulson-Fury is given the chance to finally have a kid of his own with his husband Phil, he doesn't expect to be bombarded with every foster parent trying to be rid of their charges. Who is he to say no to those sad little faces anyway?
In...
Nick and Phil drove ahead of Thor and Loki, leading the way back to their home. The boys had any objects of importance in the back of the older teens car, so they didn't need to go back to Hela to get it.
Finally, the husbands pulled up in the large driveway, making room for the other car. The drive, Nick soon realised, would probably be getting rather full with all the teens in the house. Some would have to share a car, and the garage would probably need some remodelling to make room for more.
The house itself was a perfect size for the amount of kids the two men had decided to take on: four above the ground storeys and one below. The perfect five storey house for the gay parents with twelve kids.
"Wow, your house is, um... interesting." Loki stated as he got out of Thors car. "It's a family house, I inherited it from my late father." Phil explained, grabbing all fostering files off the car dashboard to bring into the house.
Nick slowly turned off the car and locked it before moving to unlock the house door, holding it open for his husband and waiting whilst the boys grabbed their things before entering the house.
"Right, we weren't expecting as many kids as we've got, so you'll have to follow me to what used to be a guest room. The way things have panned out, I'll have to get some of you guys to share with kids closer to your age, but for now you two can stay in here." Phil explained, leading them up to the roof floor and into a large guest bedroom.

"Who will have this room after?" Loki asked. "Probably Thor, we're thinking of having you share with a boy called Tony but we need him closer to us due to some reasons." Nick answered, walking into the room. Loki nodded and sat awkwardly on the bed closest to the door.
"If you want, we can take you down to your room and you could unpack, we just thought you might want to spend the nights with your brother until the other kids come." Phil offered. "Could I just unpack and then come back up?" Loki asked, shyly. Phil smiled and nodded whilst Nick helped Thor begin to unpack.
"We can change the room up a bit now that you this is your room. You'll probably have to wait to see what your roommate thinks, but it doesn't have to stay this way. It is a guest room, after all." Nick said as Phil and Loki left the room. "It's not exactly the most masculine." Thor nodded. "I shall wait for my roommate, thank you, before I start any redecorating." Nick nodded and smiled: he finally had the family he always wanted.

Phil lead Loki down the stairs to the third above-ground floor where another guest bedroom lay. There seemed to be a lot of them, but with a house their size, there wasn't much else to use them for.

"We have a lot of nieces and nephews in this family." Phil explained. Loki nodded in understanding. There may have been a lot of guest bedrooms, but Phil and Nick still had biological family to account for when they come over.
"Pick a bed." Phil urged, watching Loki scan the room. "That one." The young English lad answered, picking the one on the left.
Loki began to take out this things and arrange them as Phil let out a weak smile. This was perfect and, he knew, it was all gonna work out, even with twelve kids.
In the midst of all the quiet joy, the doorbell rang.
"You stay here as keep unpacking, I'll go deal with this." Phil said and Loki agreed quietly, starting to place things in drawers.
Phil walked down the stairs and opened the door, surprised to see a tall child on the other side.
"I'm sorry sir, but I think I kicked my football into your garden." He apologised, looking down sheepishly. "It's fine, you can go and fetch it. I do wonder how it got all the way over here though. How far away do you live?" Phil asked, leading the small boy round into the large back garden.

"Oh, I live at the group home about ten minutes from here. Me and one of the other guys there, Flash, were having a kick about down your road and he kicked it too hard. I don't even like football. Sports suck." Phil nodded thoughtfully. "Group home, you say? Do you have a foster family or anything there?" The boy shook his head. "It's not one of those reintegration homes, just basically a twentieth century orphanage." Phil grinned. "Hold on a sec, kid." He said, leaving him to retrieve his ball.
Phil ran through the house and up to where Nick was still with Thor, quickly pulling his husband out of the room.
"Phil, what's going on?" Nick asked. "There's a kid outside from a group home. I didn't catch his name, but he's the cutest thing and one of his friends kicked their football into our garden." Phil explained excitedly, in a rush. "I know we already have a lot of kids and this one isn't exactly Hydra-" Nick pressed a finger over Phils lips. "Baby, let's speak to him outside. I guess we kinda do want more kids around Pietros age, and a boy at that, since we've got so many." Phil nodded abruptly.
A/N: I hope this isn't going to quickly, but I kinda want to get all the kids into the house quickly and I still have three more to go. I know the story is a bit unrealistic, but oh well. I can't think of a reason why people would actually want sixteen kids so 😅.
