-{ 2 Weeks Ago }-

''Hey Ang,'' I said after I dropped my bags and walked into the living room. Ang and Lola were making her homework and I could see that they were very concentrated but I needed to speak to someone, and that someone could better be a person that I trusted and not a kid who would tell her secret to her best friend aka Steve.

''Ang can I speak with you for a sec?'' I asked her after I gave my little girl a kiss on the head.

''Sure, Lolli you go make assignment three we'll be right back.'' She said and smiled at her before the two of us walked upstairs to get some privacy.

''what's wrong?'' Ang asked as soon as the door was closed.

''How do you know something's wrong?'' I asked her immediately.

'' I've seen this face before, it's your 'oh my god something has happened and I need advice face'.'' She said and laughed at me, even while Ang was younger than me I could always use her advice.

''Alright so something is wrong. I need your help. Help me as a friend, not your boss please.'' I told her before she sat down next to me on the bed.

''Since when haven't I helped you as a friend? Right never. You've always been a good friend to me. You gave me this job when I needed it the most.'' She said with a friendly smile.

''Yeah but that's different, this is like lightning has struck the house bad,'' I said. The panic was visible in my eyes but even a blind person could've known I was frightened because of the sound of my voice probably.

''Alright take a deep breath and tell me what's wrong.''

''I'm…. I'm shit I'm pregnant.'' I almost whisper yelled at her and from the look on her face, I knew that she had heard me alright.

''Wait, how… when… why... are there more questions I can ask?''

''Wait it's Steve's right?'' she asked hurriedly afterwards.

''Of course, it's Steve's. It's stupid I know. But I don't know what to do. I've taken a few home tests and they all tell me that I'm preggers. But really I'm afraid to go to the doctors. What if Steve finds out. The doctors will put it in my medical record and Fury will find out who will tell Steve who will get angry at me for not telling. I'm getting crazy aren't I?'' with my hands before my eyes I fell down on the bed and I just wanted to cry. Cry because this was happening and cry because of what I did. This was all my fault. I had managed to convince him to have sex. So stupid. Why hadn't I paid more attention that night? I just royally screwed this up!

''Alright calm down, I have this friend he's a doc, I can get you an appointment with him and I'll ask him not to put it in your medical records. He can be persuaded easily.'' She said with a smirk on her face.

'' You'd do that for me?'' I said through the tears that had just started to come.

''Sure, not to be rude but how far along should you be?'' she asked. I started to calculate in my head. Thinking back to that day wasn't that hard but finding the exact date a bit harder, but eventually, I knew exactly how far along I should be.

''7 weeks and 6 days,'' I said with a sigh.

-{ Present Day }-

It wasn't even long before the time came to once again pack our bags and go. It was far too fast in my opinion but who cared about what I'd say anyway. And before I knew the famous words were already spoken.

''Suit up,'' Steve said. By now I really started to hate that sentence, not only because it came at the worst possible times but also because I still had the picture of some of the man in their underwear burned in my memory from a time we didn't have the luxury to suit up in different rooms. I hadn't even had my suit on yet when I heard them talk again. The teams were already divided. Tony would go to Norway, Bruce to the tower and me, Steve, Natasha and Clint to try and get this freaking body. When I walked downstairs, suit on and mind ready I saw Clint kissing Laura and had to walk up quietly so I could give them their moment.

''Clint, could you do something for me. Please keep Lily away from combat as much as possible.''

''Why?'' he asked.

''Just trust me. Could you do that for me?'' I saw him nod and walk out of the room, so when he couldn't see me I walked down only to be faced with Laura.

''Thanks,'' I whispered and ran out of the house before they'd leave without me. Leaving these sweeties behind became a more difficult battle than I thought it would because they actually made their own special spot in my heart. So with much sorrow, I ran over the grass towards the jet.

''Alright so everyone here, there's been a change of plans.'' Fury started when we went into the air and I sat down with my backpack.

''Tony you're going to Norway. Steve, Natasha, and Clint, you're getting that body and Bruce and Lily you're going to the tower. All get ready for the flight.'' Fury said and I sat down next to Bruce to become the stay at home buddies.

''Just a question why am I being sent home with Bruce? A minute ago I was scheduled to go with Clint.'' I asked.

''No objecting just go with it,'' Clint said from the other side of the jet.

''Alright,'' I grumbled, of course, I knew why. Laura had put him up to this but he didn't even know why he was doing it. if he only knew he would've kicked me out of this plane before it even flew off the ground. The world can get so weird sometimes.

''Hey Bruce, why are you going to the tower?'' I asked him before he could put on his headphone and shut himself off of the world.

''Too dangerous.'' He just said before the headphones got on.

''So, does somebody know where Thor went?'' I asked the question that had been burning on my thong for a while now. He just went and never said what or where he went or at least I didn't know.

''Not sure,'' Natasha said and looked at me with jealousy in her eyes. It felt like everybody was against me today. Would Nat really think I was interested in Bruce? Of course, he is a very interesting and beautiful man but the two of us were better off as friends anyway. And Nat…. she should've just told Bruce a long time ago. What was wrong in the world of the Avengers, it felt like there was no place for love in it. One after another were getting off the plane, after a few hours it was just me, Bruce and Fury and I didn't even try to start a conversation anymore, but instead I started to have imaginary conversations that would probably never happen but still, it was more interesting than staring at the ceiling.

''Next stop Avenger Tower.'' Fury yelled so I picked up my backpack and eventually walked out of the jet to be met with the tower that I left not so long ago. It was still dark so that meant not many hours had passed since we left Clint's place.

''So anything interesting you're going to do?'' I asked him while I walked behind him into the lab. I had spent some hours in here but most where just to talk to him and to make sure Bruce - and sometimes Tony - would eat and eventually sleep.

''Not really, we'll need to wait until they come back with hopefully a body or maybe something more interesting.'' He said when he put his stuff down on the ground and so the waiting began. We waited and waited and waited and all the while we had no idea what was going on. But we kept each other company and that was far better than being here on our own. But even if he had been here on his own he'd probably found something to do.

''How's Lola doing?'' he asked after we got the message that they would be coming back, because now we finally knew they'd be coming back, with a body!

''Great, it's just I miss her… so much.'' The sadness covered my face and for a moment I just wanted to pick up that telephone and call her. But I knew it was far too late for that. She'd be fast asleep by now.

''Hey, it's gonna be alright you'll be back with her before you know it,'' he said with a smile. When he was smiling I really did understand why Nat was falling for him. When he was happy he was one of the most attractive men on earth but even while I wanted to move on from Steve I just couldn't. History had proved that it was impossible for me to live without him, but at the same time it didn't always turn out the way I wanted to when we were together.

''Clint!'' I yelled when I saw him coming in with Fury on his heels and the casket.

''Where's Nat?'' I asked him as soon as he was in the room and Fury went away.

''She didn't make it, she's probably captured by Ultron.'' He said. Tony mentioned something about old school spy stuff and I helped Clint search for a sign of Natasha still being alive. But then came the part that made me walk back upstairs towards Tony and Bruce for what they said would be insane.

''You'd want to put Jarvis inside?'' I yelled even while I stood behind them. I was pissed off how could Tony even suggest such a thing. That body contained so much Ultron already that it would just be crazy dangerous to even try.

''You mad? Bruce, please tell me you're not doing this.'' I said more than a bit hopeless. I was surrounded by man with too much testosterone -, one wasn't even paying attention to what was happening above his head and the other two were mad scientists. But Bruce should've known better than to agree with Tony. Bruce didn't even answer but just looked at me as to say, I'm going to do this don't interfere.

''Ugh, you're mad you know that, if Cap finds out he's gonna be more pissed out than I am already.'' I tried to threaten them but that didn't really work out so I'd just have to wait. Maybe it would even be too late by then so I just hoped nothing bad would happen. It wasn't long after when I heard the voice of Steve, he stood just behind me but when I turned around I saw the Maximoff twins standing behind him. They scared the heck out of me. Why the heck were they here?

''I'm gonna say this once.''

''How about nonce,'' Tony answered and just went further with his new project.

''Shut it down.''

''Nope. Not gonna happen.'' Tony answered him again.

''You don't know what you're doing,'' Steve said and I could hear that he knew more than he was telling.

''And you do? She's not in your head?'' Bruce asked him but at that moment it wasn't really Bruce standing there, he looked like a fake, a replacement that Tony created.

''I know you're angry.'' She said and because of her accent, it felt so much weirder that she stood there.

''Oh we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade.'' Bruce replied.

''Banner after everything after that's happene-'' But Tony didn't even let Steve finish his sentence but what he said I had no idea because I was too busy watching the male Maximoff, he went way to fast for me to see everything he did but in the end he detached all the cables from the casket.

''No, no go on. You're saying?'' he said and was really calm until a bullet flew towards him and the glass beneath him broke. I never thought Clint would've taken the side of Tony but he just did. The room transformed into a hell with one side fighting the other. Steve threw his shield against the computers in which Tony, of course, had to take action and shoot. But while he had wanted to hit Steve, it hit me and I was thrown on the cold hard ground. Tony never blinked an eye and just shoot at Steve again this time succeeding and he fell on the ground next to me but he just stood up again and started a fight. I really really wanted to stand up but was afraid to. The pain shot through my stomach and it felt like something bad had happened. So I stayed there on my hands and knees and tried to ignore the pain but that was very difficult with the others fighting around me.

''Guys stop,'' I said through clenched teeth. But they wouldn't or couldn't hear me, probably the first because I knew how stubborn they were.

''STOP IT!'' I screamed as best I could, but at that moment Thor came storming into the room and jumped on the casket. I could hear someone yell at him when he called the thunder to his hammer and the white light spread through the room. The casket was fully powered and out came the body that should've been Ultron's. I could've cut the silence with a knife because no one dared to say something when the body attacked Thor and it looked like the fight was starting again but then out of nowhere the body flew back and seemed actually nice. The Maximoff girl or Wanda as she was actually called turned around to see me still lying on the ground. She walked towards me and I actually got a bit afraid because of the things that she'd done to me, but if Steve trusted her enough to bring her here I should have no problem with her.

''What are you still doing here?'' she whispered but because of her accent, it was difficult to hear.

''I need your help,'' I whispered back. She nodded and picked me up and helped me stand straight. With her help, I walked towards the rest of the Avengers and kept one arm around her and the other around my middle. It was weird how I could trust her so easily after what she'd done, but right now I didn't care about that, I just wanted to know if my… our baby was alright.

Just because I have been working on a few chapters for the past couple of hours and it has been a long while since I updated.

Enjoy.
