Instant Family

Cut short

Natasha ate the surprisingly delicious breakfast, no longer was hunger ringing her stomach. 

"How was it", Steve asked as he leaned over the kitchen island, where Natasha was eating. Gloating as he smiled at Natasha. 

"They were great, you don’t have to gloat about it you know", Natasha added. 

"I know but what's the point of being great without gloating", Steve said in a cocky tone. 

"Where are you going today", Natasha asked as she walked to the sink to rinse her plate. "And how long will you be gone". 

"I told you, I was going to work yesterday", Steve said walking up next to her to do the dishes. 

"But you don’t have a job", Natasha added. "S.H.I.E.L.D. pays for this house, your groceries, your internet, & the rest of your billing". 

"So where are you actually going", Natasha asked? 

"How did you know all of that", Steve asked, a nervous smile plastered across his face? Natasha wouldn't answer. "I'm going to a family courtroom". 

"But don’t the kids have to go", Natasha asked? 

"We have it decided that they're not gonna go until they are 100% needed to be there", Steve said, he cut her off before she could even ask. "Which is tomorrow". 

"How long will you be gone today", Natasha asked handing him a soupy plate. 

"I shouldn't be gone more than 5 hours", Steve said as he dried the plate. 

"Okay", Natasha said, she wiped her hands off, drying them. She passed the hand towel to Steve. 

"Be that as it is", Steve said as he took the towel & wiped down his own hands. "I don't need you to come here tomorrow". 

"Good to know", Natasha said, she started walking out to the living room, where the kids were. 

"I'm sorry to bother, but if you could remind the kids to feed Dodger while I'm gone", Steve said. 

"Don’t worry, it's no trouble", Natasha said. 

"I'm gonna be gone for awhile today", Steve said as he knelt in front of Emma & James. "Try not to kill each other & behave, because if you dint Nat will tell me". 

"Bye", Steve said to his kids with a hug. He turned to look at Natasha. "Bye", Steve gave her a hug as well, which surprised her. 

"Have fun... at work", Natasha said. Steve waved goodbye. 

"Bye daddy", Emma yelled before could Steve leave. 

"Bye, love ya Peach", Steve said as he closed the door & walked to the car. 

"This is gonna be a fun day", Natasha said to herself before she turned around to embrace the kids, who had already started to go wild.

Steve drive down to the local courthouse, not ready for the hell Sharon was gonna try to place him in. 

He unzipped his leather jacket, leaving it in the car. He started walking into the building. 

He took on last breath of the crisp air before he walked into the building, full of politicians, lawyers, & judges. 

He swiftly flew the door open & walked in. 

Even for Captain America, politicians & lawyers annoyed him. He turned to the elevator, hitting the 4th story button. 

But unfortunately for him, a woman stuck her hand in the door before it could close, of course for Steve awful luck it was Sharon.
