Artemis' POV
I looked up at the door as it opened, taking in a deep breath I didn't know I needed to take, this was the moment I had been waiting for my entire life, even if I didn't know it. All the choices I had ever made accumulated into this one gigantic moment that could make or break my entire life.
"Hey," Ethan said, kissing my forehead "how are you?"
"Good." I replied with a smile.
Ethan put his hands on my arms, studying me "Is something the matter?"
I shake my head with a chuckle, "No, no, nothing's wrong per say."
"Then what is it?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.
I pull away, "It's nothing E, I just got some… news, that's all."
"News? What kind of news?" he questioned, "The mission, is it going all right? Bucky and Sam are ok right? Is it your brother, did you hear from him?"
I laugh, "Ethan, Ethan, calm down! Bucky and Sam are fine, their mission is fine. I haven't heard from Apollo, but that's a good sign, I'm sure he's fine too."
"Oh," he breathes, "Then is it me? Did I do something wrong?"
"No! No, darling, you didn't do anything wrong." I smile at him, "It's good news actually. I just found out."
"Then what is it?" he questioned.
"Ethan!" I complain, throwing my hands down, "I was going to wait to tell you. I was going to be creative!"
"With what Artie?" he begs, "Tell me."
I sigh, and grab his hands, "Congratulations Ethan James Stark," I take a deep breath, "Your girlfriend is pregnant."
His eyes grow so wide that I'm sure they're going to pop out of his head. "But, but, you're my girlfriend… so… so, does that mean you're…"
I smile and give him nod "Yes Ethan, I am."
He gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen, before crouching down and laying a hand on my stomach, "Hi Baby," he whispered, "I'm your Daddy." The he looked up at me, "I am his Daddy, right?"
I slap him upside the head, "Of course you're her Dad doofus! I've never slept with anyone else!"
He stood up and wrapped his arms around me, "Well good," he whispered, giving me a kiss on the lips, "cause neither have I." I give him a grin then another kiss, "Thank you," he whispered.
I put my head on his chest, "For what?"
He rested his chin on top of my head and grinned from ear to ear, "Giving me the two greatest things in my entire life."
