Ta Da! I actually did it. Currently writing chapter three today so hopefully it will be up by tomorrow night!


"Everyone." Tony got the people he saw, but thought that he never would admit, as family's attention by tapping the hilt of his fork against his glass. "Me and Steve have an announcement." Him and Steve stood up at the end of the table. Luckily, everyone showed up. Bruce, and Darcy (the man behind the monster finally grew a pair and asked the girl out), Thor, and Jane(the Bifrost was rebuilt and he visits often to be be with her), Clint and Natasha (the team found out about them a month after New York), and Pepper (Tony's ex or not, they were very close). It was rare that all of them were available to actually sit down and have dinner.

"You guys are finally gonna get matching outfits?" Clint joked from his place next to Natasha.

"Shove it Hawkass." Tony retorted, chucking a roll at the archer. He easily smacked it to the ground.

"What is this news my friend?" Thor's voice boomed from across he table.

Tony shot Steve an annoyed look. "Well, Tony and I have decided to adopt a child." Better just spit it out before they get mauled.

There was silence for a few moments while everyone had the news sink in. Thor was the first to speak. "That indeed is a wonderful announcement!"

"Yeah, just make sure you tell the kid that he's adopted." Bruce added jokingly.

"That was years ago Banner!" Thor defended his brother. Loki has been banned from Earth, but has not caused any trouble since New York.

"Relax, Thor. It's good that Bruce made a joke at all." Darcy jumped into the conversation. "And good for you guys. Your kids gonna be awesome."

"Hey Barton! Romanoff! Wanna comment?" Tony rolled his eyes and drew attention to the two assassins, who were whispering to each other.

They both looked at each other and Clint shrugged. Natasha sighed and stood up. "This is, oddly ironic." She started, looking down at the table, then quickly looked back up. "I'm pregnant."

Again, a silence. This time it was Tony who spoke up. "Who's the father?" He joked as Steve lightly hit his arm.

"Me, IronAss." Clint mocked Tony's previous insult.

"This is excellent! There will be more children in our presence!"

"Oh the press will have a field day with this." Pepper muttered, then smiled. "But I am very happy for both of you."

"This is awesome. When are we gonna get busy Bruce?" Darcy nudged him with her shoulder, while Bruce turned a shade of red. Him and Darcy were exact opposites. He liked to discuss things in private, while she would announce them to the world.

"Take the condom off. Take the condom off." Tony attempted to start a chant, which failed miserably as Steve hit him again.

"Please shut up." Bruce pleaded, his head now in his hands.


"That was, interesting." Steve sighed as he took off his shirt to change into something more comfortable. "I guess we won't be alone in this though." He went to lay down on their bed.

"Clint and Natasha with a baby. I am going to love this." Tony replied from his place in the bathroom. The image of the two deadly people making baby faces at a kid would always amuse him. "And how are we supposed to raise a child? We didn't really think this out very well." He frowned to himself in the mirror. "What if they hates us?"

"They're not going to hate us, Tony." Steve lifted his head to address his husband's question.

"I don't know. Just wanted to face this now. So it's not a problem later." He shrugged, finished shaving and washed off his razor. "But this will be interesting along the road." Tony walked over and sat down by him.

"I guess we're just going to have to learn as we go. We're gonna be fine."


"We are so not going to be fine, Clint." Natasha mulled over the positive pregnancy test again. "I can't do this."

Clint walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Nat." He looked at her via mirror. "We've been through everything. We can do this. And we have help too." He lifted Natasha's shirt up to feel her belly. Just knowing that his child was in there made him smile. "We can do this." He repeated quietly.

Natasha sighed and leaned into him. "Clint. You don't understand." She shook her head. "So many people will want to hurt it." Memories of her time as a child in the Red Room still haunted her. She didn't want her child to ever experience that. "How can we protect it?"

"Natasha Romanoff. If you think for a second that I will ever let anyone even touch our son or daughter. That is the day that I will gladly dress in drag and let everyone call me Cupid." He joked with her, a serious face replacing the happy one soon after. "I can promise you, right now, that I will do anything and everything to protect it."

Natasha smiled at that. She knew that anyone who dared touch the child is sure to experience extreme pain. "Not to mention a God, Iron Man, Captain America, and a giant green rage monster will be there for it too."

The archer smirked. "I feel bad for the kids already. They may have too much protection. Imagine them dating. Oh this will be awesome." Clint smiled at the thought of a teenage girl bringing a boy over to the chaotic tower. He wouldn't stand a chance against the forces that is the parent Avengers. "Can't wait to practice on moving targets." He grinned evilly.

Natasha just laughed. "And what if it's a boy? You're going to shoot a teenage girl with an arrow?"

"Are you kidding? If our son ever gets a girl I would shoot him with an arrow of embarrassment. See if she's got a sense of humor."

"You are an evil father Barton." She smiled devilishly and headed out of their bathroom, plopping onto the bed. Clint following her.

"You know me, I like to plan ahead." He laid down next to her and thought of his child once again.

Natasha sighed, staring up at the ceiling. "What if something happens to us?" He talks of planning ahead. She almost wanted to laugh.

"Tasha.." Clint whispered a scold. "That won't happen."

"You don't know that." She did.

"I know I'll love the hell outta this kid, Nat. If anything happens to you, I won't let that ruin anything."

"And what am I suppose to do about you?" She finally looked over to him. "I can't do this without you. The only reason I'm doing this is because of you."

Clint shook his head. "No." He said quietly, moving to press their noses together. "You wait, Nat. That little thing comes out all shriveled and gross but you'll see how beautiful it is. You'll know what to do."

It will be hard. Balancing being an assassin while trying not to screw up a life. But they could do it. They wouldn't fail at being parents.

They didn't know how to fail.


This was mostly just the announcement, an intro to the pairings, and a little bit of Clintasha. I love reviews!
