Endgame Romanogers Fanfic

Chapter 37

Steve was so puzzled to see the baby in Natasha's arms that he couldn't move, talk or smile, he couldn't do anything! He stood there in disbelief.

Natasha: Come and meet her...

Natasha pulled Steve's hand to make him duck and get out of this state of shock.

Natasha: It's your daughter, Steve... this is Sarah.

Steve crouched little by little and he did not take his eyes off the baby.

Steve: Is she real??

Steve had to ask, is he now part of the same hallucination as Natasha?

Natasha: For me she is and that is all what matters.

Natasha was looking forward to that moment when she was going to introduce Sarah to Steve, even though she lived in Vormir with no hope of returning home one day. Secretly in Natasha's dreams, she always imagined herself and Sarah next to Steve and James, she imagined what it would be to live with them all together.

Steve is there now and that is enough to leave Natasha moved to the point of crying with emotion and she has been emotional since she jumped off the Cliffto rescue Sarah .

Natasha was thrilled because she knows that her last act could result in never seeing James again and that was tearing her whole heart and when she found Sarah again she knew she couldn't have stopped doing what she did, she was crying with joy and sadness at the same time. Joy at having the peace of being with her daughter again and sadness at having left the chance to return to James. How could she choose between them? What justifies her actions? She could never make that choice in any other situation.

Natasha looked at Steve and smiled, she nodded at him.

Natasha: Take her... feel her...

Steve sat down on the floor and Natasha put Sarah on his lap, she also wanted to confirm that all of this was real. Steve was embarrassed and afraid of not feeling the baby, but when Natasha delivered the girl on his lap, he could feel all her weight and then she became real to him.

Steve was very touched, he immediately remembered when Natasha told about the interrupted pregnancy forced by Thanos and how much it hurt both of them, especially her. Steve recalled that Natasha had never gotten over that pregnancy, not even with the birth of James and he understands that the sacrifice she made was necessary.

Even though Steve was only a few seconds with his baby daughter, he felt the same emotion and the same feeling as when he saw James for the first time, his heart was beating fast, his eyes were shining and he had the feeling that that little being was everything he loved most in the world and he will love and protect her for the rest of his life. Funny that for Steve, there would be no other human being in the world that he would love as much as he loves James and now he realizes that he is wrong, he totally is fascinated by his daughter.

Steve's clumsy way of holding the baby and the novelty of those very different hands and arms made Sarah frown and complain a little, but she was still with her eyes closed because she was sleeping before he arrived.

Natasha: Hey... baby girl... hush... don't cry, mommy is here... it's okay, it's just your daddy.

Natasha said, while stroking Sarah's head, which made her go quiet again. Natasha looked at Steve, who now held Sarah better and brought her closer to his chest.

Natasha didn't know if she was crying or smiling, she was doing both at the same time, she didn't brag about her being right about Sarah, because she was uncertain if she was in that sweet illusion of having Sarah in her utopian life, but when Steve saw her and was shocked, so Natasha was sure that her baby is real, or is real for her and for him now there in that reality.
