Abi's P.O.V.

"I was supposed to start four days ago, but I just thought I was late. Oh my god this can't be happening! But it can, because we never used protection. Bruce what the hell am I going to do? Clint's going to ha-" I started rambling.

"Hey, calm down, you need to reduce stress, especially if you are.... pregnant. But that might not be the case, I have pregnancy tests here somewhere." He said.

He started rummaging around in the drawers of one of his desks then pulled out a small box.

"There are instructions on the box, go and take it then come back down here." He instructed.

I nodded and got into the elevator, hiding the test down the back of my jeans and covering it over with my t-shirt. I heard everyone else in the living room so I quickly made my way into my room, closing the door behind me. The bathroom door clicked as I locked it, I took a seat on the edge of the bath tub as I read the instructions on the box, I followed exactly what it told me to do. I took a seat back on the edge of the bath tub as I held the test upside down in my hands, after a few minutes I turned it over. Two lines. I dropped to my knees and a sob escaped my lips, Clint was going to hate me. I ran to the elevator, ignoring Clint calling my name as I made my way back down to the lab, I ran in and locked the door behind me so that if Clint followed he couldn't get in.

"What did it say?" He asked.

"I'm pregnant Bruce." I sobbed.

"Is that really such a bad thing?" He asked.

"Clint and I haven't even been together that long, and what if he doesn't even want kids? I can barely look after myself, let alone a child. I mean look at the role models I had, I can't be a mother Bruce, I can't." I sobbed.

He pulled me into a hug as I cried onto his shoulder, after a little while I finally calmed down.

"You will be a great mother, and Clint adores kids so I highly doubt he doesn't want kids of his own. I know it hasn't been very long but the two of you love each other, and if you decide to go through with this we will all support you fully, no matter what decision you make." He said.

I sat down on one of the work benches and put my head in my hands, what the hell was I going to do? My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door of the lab, I quickly hid the test down the back of my pants before nodding to Bruce to let him in.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" He asked me softly.

"I... I'm.... just tired. When I get overly tired I get emotional, I'm fine." I said.

"Come on, let's get you back upstairs and to bed, you just need to rest." He said softly.

I nodded and let him lead me away, I turned back and mouthed 'thank you' to Bruce, he just nodded and we stepped into the elevator. When we stepped out I stopped Clint.

"You go and have fun with the others, I'll be fine." I said.

"Are you sure?" He said.

"Positive." I said.

"I'll come and check on you in a little while." He said as he pressed a kiss on my forehead.

I nodded and walked away, going into my bedroom and quickly shutting the door behind me. I hid the pregnancy test in the bottom of one of my drawers in my dresser before climbing into bed. I didn't bother getting changed, as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell fast asleep.

Clint's P.O.V.

"Is she alright?" Tony asked as I walked back over.

"She's just really tired lately." I said with a frown.
