A/N:Hey guys! Just so you know... I know a lot of you know that I have a medical background... but that DOES NOT mean I know all the ins and outs of IVF I don't by any means. I am trying to be as accurate as possible (I did my research!) but know I am probably not getting most of this right. But anyways enjoy!

Step Two

"If you would like to sit up now, you can." Dr. Cruz, the fertility specialist spoke in a kind voice as she moved around the room.

Natasha was careful to keep the paper draping in her lap as she sat up and watched the doctor warily.

"How soon after today will you have embryos to transfer?" Natasha asked as Clint was allowed to walk back into the room.

"The egg retrieval was successful. We have ten eggs. And Mr. Barton gave us a sperm sample so we should be able to start the fertilization process and embryo culture. And with your ages I would like to do some genetic testing to verify viability. So I would like to see you in… five days?" Dr. Cruz smiled at Natasha as she spoke.

Natasha blinked a few times before she nodded "Alright."

"And we haven't discussed this yet, but I think that due to some of the minimal scarring within your uterus, to increase your chances of pregnancy, we should do a double embryo transfer. Just know that it does increase the chance of a multiple pregnancy." Dr. Cruz stood as she spoke.

Natasha and Clint looked at one another before Natasha spoke "That's fine. If you think it will increase our chances. We trust you. You're the professional."

"Alright, then I will see you on Wednesday" With that Dr. Cruz walked out of the curtain enclosed space.

"Could you pass me my pants?" Natasha said pointing towards her yoga pants that were folded up next to the computer along with her panties.

Clint silently passed them over and watched her pull her clothing back on.

"You want to say something, Clint?" Natasha asked "Because once we get back to the tower we can't really talk about this until the kids are asleep."

"I just can't believe this is all real." Clint spoke quietly as a grin slowly spread across his face "We're gonna have a BABY."

"Slow down." Natasha chided slightly "I'm not pregnant." She smiled at him before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. "Yet."

"But you will be." Clint's grin grew to a ridiculous size. "And, God Tasha, that's just so amazing."

"How do you think Wanda and Pietro will react when they finally find out?" Natasha was now grinning as well.

"I think they are going to be so excited! They always get excited over a new cousin, I can't imagine how excited they will be at the prospect of a baby brother or sister." Clint laughed

"You really think so? You don't think they will get… jealous?" Natasha bit her lip in thought "I don't want them to think that us having a baby is anything but our family getting bigger."

"Tasha, this is Wanda and Pietro we're talking about. We had thought that they would get jealous when more kids came to the tower and we were completely wrong. The more kids that were added to the tower family, the happier the twins were." Clint gave a lopsided smile as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

They walked out to find Jemma bending over a microscope. As they approached, Jemma looked up at them and smiled.

"Dr. Cruz said everything that she did today was successful and that we should be doing the transfer on Wednesday?" She asked.

"Yes, that is correct." Natasha nodded. "Again we have to thank you for keeping this all private."

"Of course!" Jemma brightened "I can understand you wanting to keep the endeavor a secret."

"We don't plan to hide it for very long. Just until I am about twelve weeks along most likely. When the risk for miscarriage goes down." Natasha explained

"Do you plan on telling Coulson sooner? So he doesn't send you on any risky missions?" Jemma prodded slightly.

Natasha sighed as she scrunched up her nose in disgust "Yes, yes we do. We plan on going and talking with him after we get a positive pregnancy test."

"We made an agreement that she would go onto desk duty once she is pregnant and on Avengers missions she would assist with coms and non-physical aspects of missions." Clint explained further "Natasha isn't all that happy about the prospect of a whole year without going into the field."

"That seems like a good idea, with the risk for injury that missions hold." Jemma smiled "But of course you can always keep up with your training. Pregnant woman are actually encouraged to maintain their level of activity they had before pregnancy for as long as possible."

"Really?" Natasha asked, surprised.

"Well, yes. While I wouldn't encourage you to do full on sparring matches… Exercise such as using your fighting techniques against a punching bag or something like a punching bag, yoga, or using regular exercise equipment would all be perfectly safe for you to do all throughout your pregnancy as long as you are comfortable doing them. As soon as it's no longer comfortable to do it, stop doing it." Jemma smiled warmly at Natasha.

Natasha let out a sigh of relief "That… actually helps. I thought I would be reduced to doing next to nothing for nine months."

"Oh no! Absolutely not!" Jemma shook her head furiously

"Well, we have to get going if we are going to get back to the tower before Bruce is done with the kids lessons." Clint said looking at his watch.

"Have you said anything to Wanda and Pietro?" Jemma asked curiously.

Natasha shook her head gently "Not yet. We didn't want to get their hopes up in case it doesn't work."

"Understandable. Well, I will see you both on Wednesday." Jemma waved to them as they walked out of the medbay.
