Bruce walked through the door, he had walked on me trying not to break down, I was overthinking everything.I don't know if I'm suitable to be a mother.
I lay on the bed hugging my knees with tears in my eyes.
"Natasha"Bruce spoke softly, dropping the bag he got from the shop.He came over to me quickly embracing me into a hug and rubbing my back.
"Don't worry you'll be a great mother"He whispered,wiping my eyes.Of course knew.
I gave him a small smile, bringing him into a big hug again since he departed.
"Mhm, you'll be a great father too", I replied smiling at him.
".....Okay, so he's the test I got a few because I didn't know which one to get".
I chuckled at his dorkiness.
I nodded my head,taking a deep breath and walked into the bathroom to take the test.
I waited, and waited.My nerves were building up as I paced around the room.
"You alright,"Bruce said through the door, giving me some privacy.
I didn't respond when the test came back.
Negative.
I stared at it in disbelief.I knew it was good to be true.I tried to muffle my sobs, but then they stopped because I heard some loud talking from downstairs.
"Nat come quick,"Bruce said hurriedly.
"....Okay"I said, wiping my eyes.
I quickly walked straight out the door avoiding his eye contact to see what was below.
Pepper had gone into labour.
Tony was panicking as Steve quickly called an ambulance, which almost immediately arrived as we quickly walked down the stairs.
"A little help,"Tony said stressed, as he helped Pepper into the ambulance and then got in himself.
Me, Bruce,Clint and Wanda got into my car and Steve,Bucky and Sam got into another.
As I was driving Clint was the one who was sitting next to me. I hated people in my car, but it was the closest one to get to.
Clint was then looking around my car and then opened the glove box.
"Nat why do you have handcuffs?,"Clint stated jokingly, he knew what the reason was.
"Allow it"I sighed, quickly shoving them back in the draw and focused on driving us to the hospital.
I also hate when people go through my things.
.....
We were all told to wait in the waiting room, we didn't know how long it would take.Everyone was talking about how different life would be, whereas i was sat to the side lost in my thoughts.
Negative. It was negative.
"You alright?,"Bruce said, rubbing my shoulder, breaking my trance.
"Yes"I replied blankly.
"What was the result?".He asked quietly, but Clint still heard.
"What result?"He said loudly.
"Just leave it,"Bruce replied harshly.
"I-i don't know,"I said plainly.
"okay,"He said with a small smile.
"Mhm"I said resting my head on his shoulder, trying to block out the fact I was in a hospital, i hate hospitals.I closed my eyes....
All of a sudden, I heard the cries.The cries of the kids,the children.As I watched the hospital go up in flames.I did this, this is all my fault.And I could do nothing about it, it's too late.
"It's t-getting late"I heard Steve state.
I shook quickly, lifting my head up, I felt light sweat covering my forehead, as my breathing was ragged.
"Nat, you okay?"Bruce responded quickly.
"Y-yeah, i-i just need to get some fresh air," I said quickly walking away.
I made my way out of the hospital eventually, I felt sick and dizzy, not now.
The people who walked past we probably thought I was one of the patients.
As I walked out of the door, I took a deep breath as I let oxygen fill into my lungs.
I found a quiet spot and sat down, burying my head in my knees.A small tear ran down my face.
.....
"Natasha,"I heard someone call my name.
I looked up expecting Bruce or Clint but instead Bucky came to find me.
Quickly I wiped my eyes and then stood back up.
"They sent me because I had a higher chance of finding you, I hope you don't kill me,"He said as we made our way back to the others.
"Same goes for you soldier,"I said chuckling back, trying to lighten the mood.
....
We entered the waiting room and no one was there.We quickly found a room and there they were, surrounding a baby.I looked firstly at Tony and he looked as though he was the one who gave birth, but he had a big smile on his face.
I slowly walked into the room as everyone was watching me enter.I hid all of the emotions I was previously feeling, but this time I nearly cried in happiness.Pepper ushered me over and I was quick to stand next to her and her beautiful baby girl.
"This is baby morgan,"Pepper said with a tired smile.
"She's beautiful,"I responded with a smile in return.
"Do you want to hold her?,"Pepper asked me.
I sort of froze in the spot, but I couldn't say no. "T-that would be great,"I said anxiously. I've never held a baby before, but i know how to.
Pepper gently passed me Morgan as I carefully cradled her, supporting her head.
"This is Auntie Nat,"Pepper spoke softly as I watched her settle in my arms.I didn't notice the small tear in my eye.
I quickly looked at Bruce and i don't think he's ever looked so proud of me.I gave him a small smile in return.
"T-thank you," I said, then gently passing Morgan back to Pepper.
....
Me, Bruce,Clint,Wanda,Steve,Sam and Bucky all headed back to the Avengers facility as Tony stayed with Pepper in the hospital for a few days.As we went back everyone felt emotional, something we've not experienced anything like before altogether.
As soon as i entered i went straight to my room to think,processing all the mixed emotions i was feeling and whether i should take another test or not.I heard Bruce then follow behind me.
