2 minutes.

Just a simple time.

Whether you say, "Just give me two minutes" or "You can get alot done in two minutes", you never realise until the time comes, 2 minutes can be the two minutes between your life now and a very large change in your life.

That was where Natasha was right now.

Ever since she was in Red Room, the thought of these two minutes never crossed her mind. She never, in a million years, would think she would be sat here, staring down at the bathroom floor waiting for these two minutes to be up.

Ever since her 'graduation', she had always thought that she'd never get this opportunity. 

But was she ready? 

She didn't know herself.

Her and Steve had been together for almost 4 years now, but she always had a lingering thought, if he ever wanted children, she wouldn't be able to give him the family he deserved. The statistics for her getting pregnant was less than a 1% chance. 

In the distance she heard a timer go off, but she couldn't look up. 

If it was positive, what would she do? What would Steve do? What would they do?

And if it was negative? Then that would be it

Even though she may be 'The Black Widow' or Natasha Romanoff, it still didn't stop her from being a woman who loved children, god, the amount of hours she'd spend at Clint and Laura's with the kids, playing or teaching them. 

She let out a shaky breath before looking up, her eyes drifted towards the sink counter where it lay.

Switching off the time, she leaned over and picked the test up. 

The two minutes were up. 

This was it, either her life would stay the same or would be changed forever.

Bringing it infront of her, she lowered her head to look at it.

2 lines.

Positive.

She let out another shaky breath, a small smile coming to her lips.

"Hey Nat! You in here?" She heard Steve shout as he came into her room, 

She quickly hurried around before hiding the test and the box so Steve wouldn't find them. 

"Uh, One minuet!" She shouted from the bathroom

"Hey, I-I was wondering if you wanted to head down, Tony said he wants us all down there-" Steve had stood at the door so she could hear her, she opened the door as he finished

"Sure" she smiled

"Really?" He asked

"Yeah, it'll be fun" She said as she walked passed him

"O-Okay then"

The pair headed down to the lounge and when they walked in Tony was bringing over alcohol before they all sat down

"Romanoff?"

"Not this time Stark" She told him 

"Well, i never thought i'd see the day Romanoff would turn down alcohol in my presence" Tony said gaining a smirk

"Don't be so flattered, Stark" She smirked

For the rest of the night, they played games from truth or dare to never have i ever.

As they cleared up, Nat went and stood by the bar, dumping empty beer bottles into the shoot which went down into the recycle,

"Have you took one?" Asked a voice behind her causing her to jump slightly 

"Clint.."

"You know what i mean? 'Tasha, your practically my sister, i have three kids, i think i know when a woman is pregnant"

"Clint, please-"

"Don't worry, i won't tell anyone"

"Thankyou"

Over the next two weeks, Nat had been feeling more sick as time went on and had taken about five pregnancy tests, still not believing that she actually was.

No-one knew other than Clint and Laura.

As Nat was in the lounge, alot happened, and somehow Clint had been hit in the head, Nat rushed over to a cupboard and found the First Aid kit empty.

"Steve, i've got one in my room, can you please get it for me?"

"Sure"

Steve quickly rushed to the elevator before heading to Natasha's level, they all had their own levels since it all gave them their own space, even though Natasha and Steve spent most of their time together on either one of their levels.

As Steve entered her room he looked around for her first aid kit, opening up her desk draw her rummaged around for it, however as he found it he also found something else.

Slowly lifting it up, he saw the result.

Positive.

Natasha was pregnant?

Steve's phone buzzed in his pocket, "You found it?"

"Yes, coming now"

Steve quickly pocketed the test before closing the draw and taking the first aid kit in his hand.

Head back down he saw Natasha placing some tissue to Clint's nose. 

"Here"

"Thanks"

She started fixing and cleaning Clint's wound, it wasn't too large, and wouldn't do any damage however it still needed cleaning.

That night Steve headed up to bed early, but in-fact, he sat on the end of his bed staring down at the test in his hand.

He was going to be a dad.

To be honest, he couldn't be happier, he loved Natasha and he knew how much she wanted children, even though she though she couldn't have them and wouldn't ever admit to it, but he saw the way she looked at Cooper, Lila and Nathan, she loved them so much.

How far along was she? How long had she known?

As all these thoughts ran through Steve's mind a knock came on his door

"Come in" he said as he placed the test back into his back pocked

"Hey" Natasha smiled as she walked in, "What's up?" she asked as she saw the look on his face

"Nothing"

"Steve-"

"Nothing Nat, I'm fine, just tired"

"Your lying" She said bluntly 

"Steve, please just tell me"

He sighed, "Okay"

He handed her the test he had found, she was shocked

"When? How?-"

"Earlier today when i found the first aid kit, i swear to god, i wasn't looking for it i found it when-" She covered his mouth with her hand

"Steve, i'm glad you found out, i've been trying to think of a way to tell you but i couldn't, maybe it was best you found out this way"

He removed her hand, "When did you find out?"

"Two weeks ago, at Stark's party"

"So when you was in the bathroom-"

"Yes, i had just taken the test, but i have to tell you now, if you don't want a child now, i will raise this child on my own, whether you like it or not so if you don't want to be apart-" He covered her mouth with his hand

"Why wouldn't i want to be apart of this? Nat, i love you and now i love our child, i'm not leaving you, nor will i ever"

Steve lowered his hand, Natasha smiled

"So we're going to do this?"

"Yeah, i guess we are" He smiled

The pair leaned in for a kiss, they were going to have a baby.
