Morning coffee
I do not own the Avengers in any way.
Alaina was the first to rise. She was always the first, next to Pepper. She went to coffee pot and clicked the on button.
Like every morning, Steve would get up first and go running.
Then Bruce would rise and come into the kitchen. "Good morning Alaina", he said as he grabbed his favorite thermos.
"Not too bad", she said stroking her 3 month pregnant stomach.
Bruce smiled and went down to the lab.
Steve returned from his run.
"Hungry?" Alaina asked Steve.
"I'm going to have a shower first, but I'll just have some toast", Steve said. He went back to his bedroom as Alaina popped two pieces of bread into the toaster.
Tony managed to drag himself out of bed. He entered the kitchen as Alaina set Steve's plate of toast in front of him. "Legolas still not up yet?" Tony asked.
Alaina rolled her eyes at Tony's nickname for her husband. "Leave him alone Tony. He and Tasha just got back from a mission", she said.
"How much longer are you going to let him sleep?" Steve asked taking a bite of his toast.
"Only another hour", Alaina said.
An hour later, Alaina poured a fresh cup of coffee and walked quietly down the hall to the bedroom she shared with Clint. She set the cup of coffee on the bedside table. "Clint, wake up", Alaina said.
Clint didn't respond.
Alaina turned to leave, only to be grabbed around the waist and pulled onto the bed. "Clint!" Alaina squealed.
Clint smiled and burrowed himself into his wife's back. His hand moved down to caress Alaina's stomach.
"Fury called this morning", Alaina told him.
Clint opened his eyes and looked at Alaina.
"You're needed back on the helicarrier", she said.
"No", Clint groaned.
"You're not needed until tomorrow", Alaina said biting her lip.
"Oh really", Clint said smiling. Clint and Alaina leaned closer until their lips met.
The coffee sat on the bedside table forgotten.
The two drifted off to the smell of morning coffee.
