A/N: OMYGOODNESS I feel so terrible right now! It's been over a month since I have updated *tears*. I was busy updating other stories that I have neglected in the last few months and then LIFE got in the way (in the form of family members being in the hospital, FINALLY getting a job after a 4 month job search, and OF COURSE the Holiday CRUNCH!) But not to worry! I am NOT abandoning this story! In fact I have the next few chapters planned already! (not written but planned, it's looking as though this story is going to be LONGER than Not Just Rescuers.) But ANYWAYS here is the chapter! I hope you enjoy :)
It's a…
"Sorry, it's so cramped in here. I wasn't expecting all of you to be here. Or I would have set up in a larger space." Jemma spoke hastily as she put a small amount of cool gel on Natasha's exposed stomach.
"Don't worry about it Jemma." Clint smiled "I think we're all a little too excited to worry about being cramped into a small space."
"Excited? So I take it you're finding out?" Jemma smiled as she began moving the wand around on Natasha's stomach.
"Yes, we are. I don't like being surprised." Natasha said simply, eyes glued to the screen that was now filled with the image of the two babies wiggling about.
"Woah!" Pietro said quietly his eyes going wide "are those the babies?"
"Yes!" Jemma smiled at Pietro "Do you know how big they are right now?" She looked between Wanda and Pietro curiously. Both children shook their heads "Both of the babies are about the size of a bell pepper."
If at all possible Pietro's eyes went even wider "Really?!"
Jemma laughed "Yes, really. And they don't even weigh half a pound yet."
"Why are they so tiny?" Wanda asked, head tilted to the side as she looked at the monitor in curiosity.
"Well, your mum is only 18 weeks pregnant. She isn't even half-way through. They still have a good amount of growing to do before they're born." Jemma explained. "Now, let's get to the good stuff, why don't we. What are you two hoping for? Little sisters? Little brothers?"
"Piet and I want a little sister AND a little brother." Wanda said firmly.
"Alright let's see if you two get what you want." Jemma smiled warmly at Wanda and Pietro before turning to face the screen "Let's get started with Baby A."
The room was filled with a fast whooshing sound as Jemma turned on the Doppler "Heartrate is 144. Perfect. Now let's see if this wiggle-worm will let me sneak a peek and see what it is."
The room filled with silence and light tension as Jemma concentrated for a moment. The tension was quickly broken when Jemma happily said "And you have a little boy!"
Natasha smiled, unable to look away from the screen where the image of the baby was still frozen as Jemma typed 'It's a boy!' over it.
"BABY BROTHER! YES!" Pietro cried out happily as he jumped up and down.
"What about the other baby, Dr. Jemma?" Wanda looked at Jemma with a coy smile.
"Are you reading my mind, Wanda? I was just about to start looking at the other baby." Jemma looked at Wanda with affection.
At Jemma's words Natasha immediately snapped her gaze away from the screen and looked directly at her daughter "Wanda… you better not be reading or toying with Dr. Jemma's mind…" Jemma's eyes widened as Wanda looked slightly sheepish. "Apologize. Right now Wanda Romanoff-Barton. You know better."
"I'm sorry for putting thought's in your head Dr. Jemma." Wanda looked down.
"You're forgiven, Wanda. I was planning on moving on to the next baby before you put any thoughts in my head at all. No harm done." Jemma leaned across Natasha in order to place a hand on Wanda's shoulder. When the little girl looked up, Jemma smiled warmly at her. "Now, how about we take a look at Baby B?"
"Yea!" Pietro said enthusiastically
Jemma hummed slightly as she once again began moving the wand around Natasha's stomach. Once she turned the Doppler back on an even faster whooshing sound filled the room "Baby B yet again has a faster heart rate. 160. Let's see if they will let me take a peek like their brother did."
It didn't take nearly as long before Jemma broke the silence that had filled the room "Well… you have a little girl! Wanda and Pietro guessed right!"
"YES!" Wanda squealed loudly.
"We won the bet! We won the bet!" Pietro began chanting.
"Bet?" Jemma raised an eyebrow in question.
Natasha rolled her eyes "All the guys like to take bets over every little thing. The latest pool was over the genders of the new twins. They stupidly allowed the kids to get involved."
"I wouldn't be all that surprised to find out that they had gotten Coulson involved as well as Daisy and Lincoln possibly." Clint shrugged "Only thing I am really curious to know is what everyone betted on since apparently Wanda and Pietro were the only ones to bet on a boy and girl."
"Uncle Tony was betting there was gonna end up bein' THREE babies." Wanda giggled "So did Uncle Bucky."
"I'm going to kill them…" Natasha grumbled as Jemma carefully wiped her stomach and helped her to sit up "Both of them."
Clint huffed out a laugh "And I'll be sure to stay out of your way." He held his hands up in surrender.
"Wise of you" Natasha spoke through gritted teeth before she turned towards Jemma and spoke in a much calmer voice "Can you just print us off a whole bunch of pictures? Darcy's insisting that we have baby books, and she said this ultrasound has to be in it."
"And I'm sure all the guys'll require proof that Wanda and Pietro actually won the bet." Clint shook his head as he huffed out another laugh.
"Of course." Jemma smiled as she began typing on the computer. Moments later a long strip of pictures began printing. "I printed a good one of the both of them five times. So you each can have one as well as one to go in the baby book and of course two of each of the ones with the gender reveal." As soon as the pictures completed printing Jemma folded the strip and handed it to Natasha.
Natasha smiled as she looked down at the picture on top "Thank you, Jemma."
"It's really no problem." Jemma smiled as well. "I'll see you in 2 weeks?"
"That you will." Clint nodded as they all walked out of the curtained area to find multiple people standing around waiting for them.
"Should we take this as a confirmation that Tony got you involved in their bet?" Natasha asked, eyebrows raised as she looked between Coulson, Daisy, and Lincoln. "I AM surprised to see you here, Mel."
"What can I say? Their chattering about their stupid bet with Stark had me curious. I came along to see if you could find out or not." May shrugged nonchalantly.
"So? Tell us! What are you having?!" Daisy was grinning like the cheshire cat.
Natasha raised an eyebrow slightly before glancing at Clint. Clint smirked before he glanced at Wanda and Pietro.
"Do you two want to tell them?" Clint prompted.
Wanda's eyes went wide as she began nodding vigorously.
"We're gonna have a baby brother!" Pietro said happily, he opened his mouth to continue but was quickly interrupted.
"A baby brother AND a baby sister." Wanda grinned.
"So you two won the bet?" Lincoln smiled.
Wanda and Pietro nodded happily.
"So, I'm curious. What exactly did you all bet on?" Clint asked laughing slightly.
"Lincoln and I were betting that you'd wouldn't be able to find out the genders at the first attempt. AC here was betting that you two were going to CHOOSE not to find out the gender." Daisy shrugged.
"Well, Phil you almost won. Nat and I were on the edge about whether or not we wanted to be surprised or not. But Natasha felt like we could be a little more prepared knowing." Clint grinned
"I knew it was a long shot betting that, what with Nat not really liking surprises and all." Coulson shrugged, not looking upset at all "But I did know that it would be on the table because YOU like surprises. So any idea of what you guys are going to name them?"
"Actually…" Natasha was grinning before looking towards Wanda and Pietro "Clint and I were hoping to have some help with naming them from Wanda and Pietro."
Wanda's eyes went wide a Pietro squeaked out "Really?"
"Yes, really. We talked about it and we thought you could come up with a list of names for each of the babies and Papa and I will pick from the lists." Natasha explained. "Would you want to do that?"
Wanda and Pietro both nodded eagerly, eyes wide.
"I hate to leave so quickly… But I promised Fitz that I would take Lucy after I met with you so he could get some work done, and ever since she learned to walk she simply gets into everything." Jemma's voice took on an exasperated and exhausted tone.
"Bring her down here and leave her with May and I and you can go take a nap. You look like you could do with one." Coulson was looking at Jemma with concern.
"Are you sure, sir? She can be quite a handful." Jemma hesitated.
"He's sure, Simmons. Go get her." May spoke up before Coulson could answer.
"Now as much as we would love to stick around to watch Coulson and May keep an eye on a one year old… We really should be getting back to the tower. Wanda and Pietro have already missed some of their lessons to come with us today." Clint spoke up as he wrapped an arm around Natasha's waist and pulled her close to his sie.
"OK! Lincoln and I are still planning on coming up to the tower tomorrow to work with you two. So be prepared. We have some additions for your obstacle course." Daisy was looking pointedly at Wanda and Pietro who both immediately looked at each other with slightly terrified looks.
"Nothing too difficult. Don't let Daisy scare you." Lincoln rolled his eyes.
A/N: Yes I couldn't help but be a bit cliché and give them another boy and girl. I have the names picked out already as some of you know. But anyways please tell me what you think!
