Natasha's secret

Chapter 4

In a very pretty pink room located within the top floor of the avengers tower, which, by the way, tony demanded he build for the new addition of the avengers family sat a sulking Lucy.

"Let me put your shoes on please, Lucy!"

"No."

The stubborn 2-year-old crossed her arms in defiance, refusing to give into her very stressed out mother.
The plan for the day was very simple. Breakfast no later than 10, be ready by 12 to go shopping and then, if, (if being the key word in that sentence) Lucy was on her best behavior they would buy some ice cream and go to the park for an hour or two.

It was almost 2pm.

"I want daddy to do it."
the child crossed her legs as tight as she possibly could to make such a simple task 100 times harder.

"Daddy isn't here right now sweetie."

Everyone was out doing jobs for Fury leaving Natasha and Lucy to do what needed to be done around the tower, shopping being number one on the list.

"You leave me no choice." A huff pushed itself out of Natasha nose before she pounced onto the child and began tickling her.

Natasha won eventually.

"I don't mind taking her to the park."

The words that came out of Steve's mouth sent Natasha's mind into a panic. Due to antics that occurred earlier on in the day Natasha didn't take her daughter to the park, and it's not that she had an issue with Steve taking Lucy to the park, summer nights were much longer so it wouldn't start to get dark for another few hours. What Nat had said a few days back is what troubled her.

Steve and Lucy had never been outside together alone.

With Lucy being Captain America's daughter she really did have a red target on the center of her forehead.

"I'll keep her safe." Steve could see Nat's brain reaching speeds of 1000 miles per hour, Natasha accepted that Lucy and Steve were bonding and that was great, but Steve needed trust from her, Natasha needed trust off Steve just as equally, and trust is a big need when co parenting.

As helpless as she felt giving in to Steve, she knew it was important, the pair of them needed time to bond and get to know each other. Natasha believed she was the wall that blocked them from bonding properly so she took her place on the couch and watched as the two year old clung on to her fathers side in pure excitement.

Giggles filled the empty air in the park as Steve pushed his child on the swing, he felt like a normal human being for too much time.
The toddler flung her self off from the swing that was reaching sky level heights in her eyes, resulting in Steve bolting towards her in fear that she was severely injured.

"Be careful" Steve cooed, scooping Lucy up in his arms checking for any injuries.
While stopping her self from giggling she demanded to go to the slide in her usual chirpy tone.

The sun sat perfectly on top of the city structures, watching the sky change from a light blue to a mix of oranges, pinks and purples signalling to Steve that perhaps they had been in their own bubble at the park for a little too long and Natasha was probably losing her sanity back at home in a complete panic.

"One more."

"One more, and then we go home to see mommy okay?" Steve compromised for his daughter, he knew, as many issues himself and Natasha had been through and still continued to go through, this would have been even more perfect if she had been here with the pair of them.

Americas blue eyed boy was too caught up in the in his mind to notice a girl snapping a few photos of him spending quality time with his daughter.

A/N I'm sorry you've all waited so long for a small update but it's starting to pick up now.

Also, for the ones of you who read "when it all goes bad" I've had some serious inspiration for it and it's getting a re-write from a whole different perspective.
