Summary: Natasha and R talks about having kids and their journey

Natasha was always an attentive person, she always let you talk and only asked her questions after. You can tell she’s really interested in the topic when she asks questions after questions.

Like right now.

We were at Clint’s place visiting them when Lila showed her recent drawings. Nat was really invested as they conversed with each other. Cooper saw them and didn’t want to feel left out so he joined them as well.

They were in their own world while their parents and I looked over at them.

“So… Nat and kids huh.” Clint started out as he took a sip of his coffee.

“What? I never- well, because Nat-... I don’t know.” I didn’t know what to say. I could tell Nat was having kids in her mind but she hasn’t spoken to me about it.

“I’m sure it’s okay. You can be the one talking to her about it.” Laura suggested. I nodded to let her know I heard her but it was going to be tough to talk to Nat about it.

What if I was reading the signs wrong? Maybe she didn’t want a kid. We were not even married yet. What if we fall out in the future? Are we even ready? How are we going to take care of a child in the future? Natasha pulled me out of my thoughts when she placed a hand on my thigh as we were driving back.

“Yeah?”

“I called you many times but you weren’t answering. What were you thinking about?” Nat took my left hand while she kept hers on the steering wheel. Should I tell her now? Do I risk it?

“Baby?” Natasha called me again. “You’ve been off since we left Clint’s.”

“I saw how you looked at Lila and Cooper… Do you… want a kid?” I asked and turned to look at her expression. Her face fell slightly and I knew it was bad timing to ask her. I shouldn’t have asked her at all, now she thinks that I am rushing her. Stupid me.

“I do.” Nat said, making me snap my head to her. “But I can’t.” She continued.

“I’m sure Bruce or Tony can figure something out.” I clasped her hand tightly to reassure her. Being forcefully taken away from the privilege of having your own child was such a sick thing to do but I am glad that she may have a chance again.

All of a sudden, Nat swerved the car to the side of the road and I yelped before being brought into a passionate kiss. “There’s no one else I'd rather have a kid with.”

---

So here we are going to our first ultrasound. Nat took the procedure so it was her carrying our kid. It was either up to Nat or me to carry the baby since they were also able to figure out a way for Nat to get pregnant or than it being genetically from the both of us.

It was really going either way. Both of us wanted the other party to carry it since it was a very noble task but eventually I pulled out the ultimatum.

“I’m younger than you. If a few years down the road we decide to have another kid then I’ll carry it. For now, I want you to have the experience first.” I explained to her. Although I wanted her to carry it, it was also dangerous since there could be many complications as Bruce told us. But deep down, I know she knows this could be her only chance.

“Congratulations! It’s a success.” Bruce showed us the tiny blob on the screen showing that there was finally a life in Natasha.

“You did it!” I held Nat’s hand in joy. “You’re going to be a mum.”

Natasha POV I thought I could never be happier when I asked Y/N to be my girlfriend. Seeing the screen brought me so much joy I’ve never felt before. Y/N was also very excited as she shook me immediately after hearing the good news.

“Well, obviously Fury will be notified of this and no future mission for you.” Bruce said as he printed out the ultrasound for the both of us. “Congratulations once again.”

And with that, time began with the overprotectiveness. I know the first trimester can be slightly tricky and risky as there was a higher chance of miscarriage but Y/N was around me 24/7. It was tough tackling morning sickness and cravings.

In the beginning, Y/N made me my usual peanut butter sandwich and I made sure she cuts it diagonally otherwise I won’t be eating it. She plates it up and serves it to me together with some orange juice. One of the downsides I quickly realised was not being able to drink my morning coffee.

As I brought the sandwich closer, the feeling of throwing up was very apparent. I dropped the sandwich and pushed it away and tried to regain myself. “Are you okay?” Y/N came around and asked.

I started tearing up as Y/N held me. “What’s wrong?” She asked.

Unable to get any words out, I started sobbing uncontrollably in Y/N chest. She became visibly worried as she kept asking if I was okay and what was wrong. I only shook my head and she waited until I calmed down.

“Do you want to tell me what’s wrong?”

“I can’t eat my peanut butter sandwich…” I took her a moment to click in her head but she just smiled at me.

“You can always find a new favourite.” She pulled away from me and used her index finger to lift my chin. “Think of it as an opportunity to explore. Think about all the food combinations there are in the world, maybe you’ll find another one you like.”

“And if you don’t… well, you can come back to it after nine months.” She chuckled at the end.

“I’ll never leave my peanut butter sandwich.” I said. “But, she wants some ice cream right now.”

“She? So it’s a her? And are you sure it’s not you who wants ice cream in the morning?” She teased and booped my nose.

“It’s just a feeling. We are one now, so what I want is what she wants.” I said as I gently caressed my non-existence bump.

“And what you want, I will get.” She kissed my forehead before looking through the freezer for some ice cream. Without bothering to scoop it up, she took the entire tub with a spoon for me.

“It’s yours now. No one else will touch it.”

---

It’s been a few weeks now and my cravings have been all over the place, literally. Thanks to Y/N and Tony’s extensive cash and contacts, they were able to get what I craved for. I would literally have a breakdown when they told me everything was sold out or none of the stores were carrying it. There were cuisines I have never tried before or countries I’ve been to, but those were the days when that was just all I wanted.

Sometimes, it was just a weird combination but easily obtained, that’s when I usually see her face relax when she knew she was going to be able to get it. Sad to say, most of my cravings came in the middle of the night. I just know that this little one would be snacking a lot when she comes out of me.

“Baby….” I nudged Y/N who was sleeping next to me with her hands gently placed on my bump.

“Hmm? Yes?” She rubbed her eyes and looked at me. I gave her a cheeky smile and she instantly knew I was craving for something again.

“I want some Hot Cheetos and corn kernels right now.” I gave her the best baby eyes and pout I could muster.

“No need for this face baby. I’ll get you anything at any time of the day, at your request.” She said while pulling the covers away from her. “Just give me twenty minutes baby. I’ll be right back.” She yawned before taking her night robe and heading out of our room.

It took a while for me to register that she didn’t change and neither did she take her keys. I rolled out of bed to find her only to see her sleeping in the kitchen with a bag of hot cheetos in front of her.

“Y/N.” I shook her shoulders gently. “What are you doing here?” I asked with a slight confusion.

“Huh? I’m just waiting for the corn to be ready.” She pointed towards the stove. “How do you want it to be? In a bowl? Mixed? Or separate?”

“Mixed sounds nice. Oh, can you also crush up the cheetos so it’s smaller?” I requested.

She nodded and proceeded to hit the bag with her hands so the contents decrease in size before pouring it into a bowl. Once the corn was ready, she drained the excess water before putting it in a cup and mixed them together. The yellow and orange colour mixed really well.

I guess this was one of my more tamed cravings as I could tell that Y/N was also craving for some as she looked into my bowl with her lips together as if not wanting herself to succumb to temptations.

“Want to try some? I think it’s something I’ll continue to eat.” I pushed my bowl towards her and she looked at me. “Want me to feed you?” I scooped some in the spoon before putting it closer to her mouth.

“But it's yours.”

“So I’ll decide how I want to share it.” I moved the spoon, urging her to take a bite. “Come on, don’t leave me hanging.” Reluctantly, she took the bite.

“It’s really good. I guess we have to keep cheetos and corn in our house from now on.”

“I love you and I can’t wait to meet our baby.” With my right hand, I held her hand and with my left, I gently stroked the baby bump. Letting her know she’s loved even though she wasn’t born yet. “You’ve done so much for me even though it’s only been three months.” I was grateful for all the sleepless nights Y/N has had, demands she endured and more to come.

“I love you too.”

Your POV With flowers in my hand, I tread down the beaten path to a place that was all too familiar to me. With mixed feelings, I placed the flowers on the ground before taking a seat next to them, looking at the view that they were forever seeing.

“So…” I started speaking. There were a lot of things I wanted to say to them but it was all stuck in my throat, my thoughts all jumbled up and I was unable to get a word out.

I cleared my throat before trying again. “Natasha and I are having a kid, with technology we were able to make it happen. Oh and she’s about five months in now. Even though the baby is not here yet, I can definitely understand how you feel now. The overwhelming sense to make sure nothing goes wrong to your kid, to make sure all her needs are taken care of.”

“It really makes you feel an entirely different feeling that I'm still unable to put my hands on. I can’t wait for her arrival to this world. I just wish you were here to witness it all.” I was getting a little emotional so I quickly shifted the topic.

“I’m planning to propose to Nat after all this, I already bought the ring so I’m just waiting on the timing. Speaking of which, I should probably get back to her. Wouldn’t want an angry and moody girlfriend to deal with.” I chuckled and stood up.

“Hopefully, I’ll be able to see you guys again sooner.” I transferred the kiss from my palm to my parent’s graves.

---

“Where have you been?” Nat whined as she saw I entered the compound. Glancing at the rest of the team, they were laughing at the once stoic badass assassin changing throughout her pregnancy.

“I went to see my parents, baby.” I hugged her close to my side and whispered in her ears. I didn’t like talking about them to others and I didn’t want to invite questions. She nodded, letting me know she heard me.

“Were you bored while I was gone?” I reached over for the cheetos that was resting on her bump. It’s not that big yet, but enough to rest a bag of chips on it. We stayed in the living room for a while to catch up.

“Baby, want to head to bed? We have a long day tomorrow.” I asked Nat who was dozing off on my shoulder among the chatter. She hummed and I said goodnight to the rest before carrying her up.

“Goodnight baby.” I kissed her cheeks before falling asleep myself.

---

The next morning, it was tough to get out of the compound as Natasha has been throwing up a lot. I thought we had passed that stage but this took both of us by surprise. I tried convincing Natasha to take a break and change plans but she refused.

We decided that once we went further along into the pregnancy, we were going to tell our parents. We didn’t want them to be all happy and excited only to make them sad again if something were to happen.

We took the quinjet as it would be quicker and more comfortable. Nat and I talked a lot on our way there, how we were going to spoil our kid, who was going to play the bad cop and how we were going to support her throughout her life.

We didn’t tell them we were coming so you could imagine their shock when a large plane landed in front of their house. We were greeted with weapons on their hands ready to strike when we walked out of the quinjet.

Being greeted by a family of ex-assassin was not a thing to joke with and it was taking all of me not to hide behind my pregnant girlfriend.

“Guys, it’s just us. Drop your weapons.” Nat spoke first before making their way towards them. I smiled and held her hand, but really I was freaking out inside.

“About time you came to visit us.” Melina said after putting her gun away, same did Yelena.

We arrived unannounced around lunch time so Melina gave us all a share of whatever she cooked though I passed mine along to Nat, knowing she was going to eat more.

“You’re not hungry, Y/N?” Alexis asked as he wolfed down his plate.

“Jesus, stop with the barbaric eating. You act as if I don’t cook.” Melina tugged his arm, trying not to get embarrassed by his behaviour.

“We actually came to announce something…” I started in the middle of lunch.

“Take this napkin and wipe your mouth dear, it's getting all over you.” Melina reached out to the center of the table and passed him a piece of napkin.

“So a couple of months back…”

“Thank you so much.” He accepted the gesture from his wife and wiped around his mouth.

“Guys! Listen! All of you!” Natasha slammed the table next to you which made everyone jump. Okay, maybe only me. What kind of assassin jumps at this kind of threat?

“That’s not fair. I didn’t say anything.” Yelena said, earning a glare from Nat. After getting the go ahead from Nat, I continued speaking.

“So, as I was saying…” I began, but this time Nat was the one who interrupted me. What’s with this family and their interrupting? I can never get a full sentence in before someone tries to speak up.

“Actions speak louder than words.” I looked as she raised from the table and pulled her oversized hoodie behind her waist, showing off her bump. It was silent at the table for a few seconds until the two ladies reacted.

“No way! You’re pregnant!” The mother said. “Looks to be around four months?”

“Five.” I said.

“But how?” Yelena questioned. Knowing her sister got sterilised in the red room.

“Bruce and Tony helped a lot.” Nat released her hoodie and sat back down to eat. Lunch continued with how our life was going to change in the future with the little one running around. The bundle of joy that sometimes causes trouble and you giving in to the puppy eyes because your kid wanted some ice cream before bed. But Nat and I would love them no matter what.

Everyone was happy to celebrate the joyous news that only laughter could be heard from the house which was unheard of from this house.

We retreated back into our room once it reached the night.

“It’s nice to be back but they can’t stop talking.” Nat sighed as she relaxed into the bed. I sat at the end of the bed to give her a foot massage. Though, it's not everyday that her feet hurt, I know she would never ask for help until it was unbearable. And it was nice to get into a routine.

“How’s your back?” I always give a full package, not stopping at the feet, going to her back and her shoulders if she requests.

“I’m fine. I just want cuddles.” She spread her arms and I laid in her embrace.

“Mummy wants to meet you soon… but don’t give mummy too much trouble okay?” I gently poked Nat’s bump and traced random shapes with my finger. “I also can't wait to meet you soon, peanut.” I whispered.

“You’re too cute.” Nat kissed my temple.

“And you’re very beautiful.”

Natasha POV We know this is usually done much earlier in the pregnancy but we decided to wait a little longer to figure out the gender of the baby. We have been referring it as her because that’s what I was gravitating towards, but we would be happy with either.

It was embarrassing but I had a breakdown when I couldn't fit into my normal clothes anymore. There would always be an awkward end of my shirt hanging off my bump and not covering it totally and worse of all, my pants wouldn’t even fit!

Y/N came into the room to see me in a sobbing mess and clothes all over the floor one day. Through my cries, I told her my clothes no longer fit and she gave me her hoodie to wear instead. It reached her knees so it was alright for me to wear.

“Let’s go get you some maternity clothes. Or do you want me to go and get Thor’s clothes? Or Steve’s? Or Bucky’s?”

“I only want yours.”

Before we went out, we headed to Bruce lab for another ultrasound check. Wanda wanted to plan a gender reveal party so we told Bruce to give her the result. Everything was fine and since we were planning to have the baby in the compound, we weren’t too worried.

While getting maternity clothes, Y/N was very excited to get some baby clothes. Surely she managed to grab something in every row. Showing me each set that caught her eye.

“What about this?” Y/N grabbed one with a baby shark design. I chuckled at how adorable she was, the baby is not here yet and she’s so excited.

“Grab whatever you want. We’ll put it under Tony’s card.”

Finally I was able to wear some pants, it’s quite comfortable really. I can see why some of them continue to wear these even after their pregnancy. It looks like normal pants on the outside, but more comfortable.

Once we made our payment, we went back to the compound. Wanda, with everyone’s help, had already planned what she was going to do tomorrow. She was bouncing off the walls, the first time being able to plan a gender reveal party.

Pietro was suffering the worst of her wrath. Being fast and her brother was not a good combination. Wanda always got her brother to buy the party stuff because she was able to get it in an instant. Not even the same day delivery would be able to work as fast as him.

Y/N was laughing her ass off when she saw everyone working their ass off. No one dares to be idling or else she would really let them idle while hanging from the ceiling. When she tried to go out to the backyard to have a look, Wanda quickly shoved her in so she wouldn’t ruin the surprise.

“Well, it seems like most of them are busy and we have the compound to ourselves. Mostly, anyway.” Y/N said.

“We should use the movie theatre. Maybe have a Harry Potter marathon?” I suggested.

“Sure! Let me go get some snacks. Cheetos? Cheetos yeah.” Before waiting for my reply, she dashed off the snacks cabinet while I made my way to the dark movie theatre. I decided to start from the beginning as one does in a movie marathon, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. (Or do you call it the Sorcerer's Stone?)

“I GOT THE SNACKS!”

“Wait a minute, I’m going to get some extra things.” She opened the bag of Cheetos for me before dashing out again. She sure is excited. I’ve never seen her with a smile this long. She has her down days occasionally, but I’m happy she’s happy.

I laughed hysterically when I saw her coming in with piles of pillows in front of her. She walked slowly as she was unable to see what was in front of her. There was nothing to worry about as if she were to hit on something, the pile of pillows were sure to protect her.

Y/N placed them all around me and I looked at her. “I want you to be comfortable.”

“I look ridiculous.”

“Well, lucky that only I am here.” She ignored me. “Let’s start the movie.”

We were halfway into the second movie. Several trips have been made to the washroom, to replenish the snacks and drinks and making sure Wanda hasn’t killed anyone.

“Want to think of baby names, honey?” Y/N asked as she had her arm around my shoulders.

It was something we haven’t thought about. Honestly, I didn’t even think about it. I’ve thrown it to the back of my mind. We’ve been referring to her as ‘baby’ or ‘peanut’ as Y/N sometimes would say.

“I was thinking about Riley or Ayla. Since you think it’s going to be a girl.” Y/N said when she saw that I remained silent.

“Or maybe Ezra?” I suggested. “Sounds like a strong person.”

“Well, we still have time to think about it. Let’s not rush it.” She dropped down to the floor and started massaging my feets as it was getting late. I haven’t been on my feet long today but I just let her do it since she would not take no for an answer anyway. She had her eyes on the screen while she worked her methods on my feet. She’s getting better and better each day.

“BABE!” I raised my voice slightly and placed my hands on my stomach.

“Huh? What? What’s wrong?” She looked around in panic as best she could in the dark room with the lights from the movie.

“The baby kicked. Here.” I took her hand and placed it on my bump.

The baby kicked again and this time much stronger and you can clearly see my shirt moving slightly. “Ouhh it feels weird.”

“Yeah, I have to survive with this for three more months. It’s hurting my ribs slightly.” Her face dropped slightly when I told her I was in pain. “I’m fine really, it’s going to be all worth it when our baby comes into this world.”

We didn’t manage to finish the marathon as I ended up falling asleep on the couch. She wanted to carry me up to bed but I was already getting comfortable and didn't feel like being moved.Y/N placed a blanket over me and made sure I was alright before taking the next couch.

“Goodnight peanut, I can’t wait to see you soon.”

---

“Alright, it’s just beyond this door so close your eyes for a sec.” Wanda said excitedly before making Bucky and Steve cover our eyes so we won’t peek. Once she made sure everything was in place, she opened the door and gave the signal for them to uncover our eyes.

“You can open your eyes now!!”

The backyard was decorated with purple, pink and blue. Wanda showed us all her designs and I’m impressed that she managed to settle all this in less than a day. All the balloons were hanging in the air due to the helium. They must have figured out how much helium to put with the two brains she has in her arsenal.

“This is amazing Wanda! You’ve outdone yourself!” Y/N praised Wanda.

>time skip to main event<

The cupcakes were great, I’m not sure if it was made by Wanda or did she order it. Either way, it’s amazing.

“Alright. Stand here.” Wanda placed us in the middle of the backyard and gave Y/N a big black balloon for her to hold above our heads. “Hawkeye is going to shoot the balloon and whatever colour the confetti falls out will be the gender of the baby!”

Clint drew his arrow back and released it. The balloon popped and roars and cheers could be heard as PINK confetti fell around us.

“We are going to have a girl!!!” Y/N screamed excitedly before bringing me to a hug.

“Oh my god we are going to get a niece!!” Wanda squealed before jumping on Y/N’s back. “I’m going to be their favourite aunt.”

>time skip to night<

“So a girl huh.” Y/N said after the party and we were relaxing in bed. She drank a couple glasses of champagne so she’s pretty tipsy now. She didn’t want me to be the only one without alcohol in my glass but I encouraged her. Since she won’t be able to drink anytime soon when the baby comes.

“She’s going to be my princess. And you’re going to be my queen.” Y/N said before passing out.

I smiled at her before saying. “You’re my queen too.” I kissed her cheeks before snuggling with her and falling asleep next to her.

>three months later<

Everything is just irritating at the moment. Being nine months pregnant is not fun. It’s getting tiring having to get up to pee every few minutes and the baby just kicking my ribs and kidney, it’s so frustrating.

“Where are you going?” Y/N asked as she saw me getting out of the couch.

“To the washroom. AND NO! I don’t need you to follow me.” I can’t even do anything without someone watching me nowadays. I waddled to the washroom since normal walking was getting difficult.

“Oh hey Nat. Where are you doing?” Steve came from a corner.

“Just leave me alone.” Nat raised her voice and Steve backed away from her.

“Steve.” I heard Y/N say. He looked at her before walking away, leaving me alone.

Y/N was still looking in my direction waiting for me to come back, she didn’t say anything but I know she was worried silently in her own way. I shifted in my seat when I felt a dull pain in my lower back. Those stupid braxton hicks that I’ve been getting lately was annoying as well.

I felt Y/N arms around my back and she shifted around so she could massage my back. I faced my back against her so it was easier on her. With two hands, she started working and I could feel that my pain was vanishing.

“Are you feeling better?” She asked.

“Yes. Thanks. Sorry for snapping at you earlier.”

“It’s fine. You are probably feeling very irritated. I understand. You get a free pass.” She joked at the end.

“You know I love you right?”

“I love you too, beautiful.” Y/N hugged me from behind and gently placed her hands on my belly. “Ohh, did she just kick?”

I nodded. My mood has changed with just a few moments of interaction with her. “I can’t wait to actually meet her.”

---

“Are you okay?” Y/N asked when she sensed that I kept shifting in bed.

“Yeah. I just can’t get comfortable.” I randomly said.

Y/N got out of bed and placed the yoga ball in front of her. “You’re never going to find a better position to sleep. So just sit here and try to forget about the pain.” She suggested. I sighed and nodded since sleep was not coming easily. She helped me up from bed, just sitting up from bed is so difficult and placed me on the blue yoga ball. She sat on one herself and we bounced on them together.

Once we got into a rhythm, I was getting a lot more relaxed and I could feel my eyes closing. “It’s okay, you can go to sleep at any time. I’ll be here.” She reassured me. I closed my eyes and leaned on Y/N body and I’m not sure what happened next.

The next day I woke up in bed and Y/N was already gone. I thought she would be here with me the entire time so I was slightly upset. I tried getting up from bed and that’s when I felt the wet feelings between my legs.

Ah shit. My water just broke.

I rode through the first contraction before rolling out of bed and gave myself a quick shower. This shit hurts, it is nowhere close to what braxton hicks feels like.

I placed both arms on the countertop and endured the pain as another contraction came.

“Nat? Are you okay?” Y/N asked as she saw me clutching my stomach in the bathroom.

“I- my water broke so-“

“What? Why didn’t you call me?” She cuts me off.

“Just shut up.”

“Okay. Okay. Let’s go to Bruce first.” She continued to rub my back while I was holding the edge of the sink, taking deep breaths from the pain.

“Alright, just change into the gown and we’ll take a last ultrasound to see if the baby is in the right place.” Bruce said. Once he checked and made sure everything was okay, he gave us the freedom of either staying at the medbay until the time came or just hanging close to the lab in case anything happened.

“Can we just walk around babe?” I asked after enduring another contraction.

“Yeah sure, if it helps.” She helped me out of the bed and we walked up and down the

hallway. My feet hurt from walking and standing but it’s nothing compared to what my pelvic was experiencing. I groaned and muttered curse words as the contraction got closer and closer.

“Nat, I know you want to walk but we should go back.” Y/N urged.

The moment I laid on the bed, another contraction hit. “Fuck! It hurts… too much.” I gripped onto Y/n wrist, cutting the blood flow to her hands.

“Time for an epidural?” Bruce came in to check and I just nodded my head, unable to say much.

He hooked me up to the epidural and pasted all sorts of things on my belly to keep track of the contraction. “Alright, it should kick in in a few minutes.”

“Why did I even agree to this?” I asked Y/N finally when I was well enough.

“Because you know it will be all worth it in the future.” She wiped the sweat on my forehead and pushed the stray hair behind my ears. “Rest as much as you can.”

Your POV

It has been 8 hours since Nat’s water broke in the morning and 2 since she got her epidural. She isn’t dialating as quickly as she liked and although she wasn’t in as much pain as she was earlier, she still had a firm grip on my wrist, never letting go.

I tried wiping away as much sweat as I could. There wasn’t really much I could do other than being there for her. I noticed that her temperature was rising each time I approached her. “Baby, are you feeling okay?”

She didn’t say anything but nodded her head groggily. “I know you’re tired, but you shouldn’t be this tired.”

Worried that something might be wrong, I went to get Bruce who was just working next door. I stood to the side when Bruce asked Nat a couple questions regarding her current situation. “I’m guessing you are allergic to epidurals. I’ll take it off you and see if the fever resides.”

“I’m glad it was nothing serious.” I said.

“Well, you’re slightly past eight centimeters now, so just a few hours more and you can start pushing.” Bruce informed Natasha before leaving again.

“The pain is going to start again.” Nat whimpered as I held her hand.

“You do this. You’re strong, baby.”

Since the time to push was approaching, more people started to gather in the room. Steve, Bucky, Wanda, Pietro, Sam and Tony all came. They were all trying to distract her from the pain by chatting with her but my wrist was not able to escape.

I watched as her face scrunched in pain. “At this moment, I really hate you a lot.” Nat said while she held her belly and the other laughed at my demise like this was some sort of a show for them.

“Is it very funny?” And they all instantly shut up.

Then, Dr Cho and Bruce came in and urshed everyone to leave while the other medical personnel got Natasha ready. I could see the panic in Nat’s face as she knew what was coming. “Hey hey, it’s okay. I'm going to be right here.”

Dr Cho took the wheels and started guiding Nat. “Just listen to your body and push whenever you feel ready.”

Natasha started pushing for some time but there was minimal progress. I saw more nurses crowding around and I knew I needed to distract Nat. “You’re doing okay.” I encourage Nat and plant a kiss on her sweaty forehead.

“I can see the head, the end of the tunnel is in sight.” Hearing this, motivated Nat and once again she gave her all.

“Alright, the shoulder is out. Just one last push.”

“Arghhh.” Natasha gave one final push and I can hear the baby cries and Natasha's face relaxing.

“Y/N, do you want to cut the cord?” Dr Cho called out.

“You did amazing, baby.” I kissed Nat on the lips before going to cut the cord.

“Here’s your beautiful baby girl.” Dr Cho passed her to me after cleaning her up.

“Nat! Look. Isn’t she adorable?” I let her hold our baby girl.

“She is the best.” Nat said while her eyes were closing.

“Nat! What’s wrong?” I asked anxiously.

“Take care of her.” My arms went to catch our girl before my mind registered what’s happening. The next thing I know, I was being pushed out of the room with our baby girl in my arms.

I was frozen staring into the room until someone tapped my shoulders. “Y/N. What’s wrong?” Wanda spoke up when she noticed my expression.

“I- I don’t know. Nat’s eyes were closing and- and now I’m here. What if something happens to her? What if she died? What am I going to do?”

“Y/N! Calm down. She’s going to be fine. She’s a fighter.” Steve stopped me before I spiral out.

“Let me meet my niece!” Wanda excitedly said. Everyone took turns holding my baby girl when I were still trying to figure out what was going on in the room.

Soon Bruce came out and I stepped forward immediately. “How’s Natasha?” I asked.

“She’s alright now. There was a hemorrhage since her uterus is artificial. Her body wasn’t used to it even after nine months. After a blood transfusion she should be fine.” Bruce updated me. I released a breath that I didn’t realise I was holding.

“Can I see her now?”

“Yup. She should wake up soon.”

When I walked into the room, I was expecting her to be asleep. But I guess the anesthesia wasn’t that strong. She was already sitting up against the bed like she would every morning. She was always an early riser, already completed many things before I even woke up.

“Why are you just standing there?” Natasha broke me out of my thoughts.

“You scared me.’ I said in a low voice. “YOU FUCKING SCARED ME. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE!”

“I know I know. But I am here now.” I wiped my tears as I approached her.

“How’s Riley?”

“Huh?”

“Riley, our daughter.”

“Oh, here.” I passed Riley to Natasha. “She’s still sleeping but it’s likely she’ll wake up soon.”

Others burst into the room, making lots of noise and I instantly hushed them. Everyone cooed at the sight they were looking at. Never in their life did they think they would get to see Natasha being so soft or even have her own child.

“I didn’t introduce her properly earlier. Meet Riley Romanoff.”
