The more Natasha thought about the last 3 hours the angrier she became, her daughter was in pain and she could not make it stop, It was all she could do not let her daughter see her growing rage.

With a breathy and brittle tone of voice Sophia said "Mama, make it stop… Make the pain stop!"

Those were the words that made Natasha Rogers heart break, all she could do was clutch Sophia close to her bosom and choke back her tears.

She could face down dozens upon dozens of terrorists and not feel a thing, but seeing her own daughter in pain brought Natasha Rogers to the brink of madness.

Steve Rogers walked up on the right side of Natasha with shadow between them, looking at Natasha Steve said, "If it takes my donating blood to solve this, I will"

Turning on a dime Steve faced them wiped away a tear from corner of Natasha's eye telling her, "We will make this right… Promise"

In a small voice Sophia asked, "Mommy okay?"

Steve brushed a wisp of her from his daughter's forehead telling Sophia, "I don't know baby!"

2 A.M. Two hours later at the at the Long Island estate that serves as the Bengalin embassy, Sophia Roberts is resting comfortably when Nick Fury arrived demanding to see Sophia. Looking up from her book Natasha said offhandedly, "Nick, if you can get past lady, shadow and Devil you're more than welcome to take your blood sample."

Looking at Natasha, Nick asked, "Who are they?"

It wasn't Natasha answered his question but Steve who said matter of factly, "There are three full-grown wolves, ...any questions!"

Deciding to press his luck Nick Fury walked down the hall to Sophia's room thinking to himself, they must be bluffing!

No sooner had that thought occurred to him when Nick heard the chorus of three wolves growling at him, the first one was black and it lay right across the door frame making it impossible to walk in without having to walk over him, the second one that Nick noticed was dark gray and laying right beside the bed, the third one was laying in the bed parallel to Sophia resting her head in Sophia's lap. All three of the wolves' ears were pointed straight up and on alert. The black wolf lying by the bed suddenly changed his body position to its hind legs underneath it and shifted its body to a standing position and started to bear its teeth.

Kit Walker walked up behind Nick Fury telling him in calm and even tone, "So far only Shadow is ready to attack, though I think Devil would get to you first. Before Devil and Lady take up the same posture I suggest you back away slowly."

Nick looked at Kit Walker rather indignantly as Kit told him, "They know you're not a friend Mr. Fury…"

The two men walk back down the hallway and down the stairs to the main room Kit told Nick somberly, "Not even The Phantom could fight off three angry wolves defending a pack member."

Nick Fury's brow shot up as he said, "I didn't see a fourth wolf"

"Didn't you!" Shaking his head in disbelief Kit said in a low matter of fact tone, "Mr. Fury… the white… has grown up with Sophia they would sleep in the same bed as a baby and cub, and the black Sophia used as a bed/pillow more than once"

As Nick Fury made his way out to the living room, his cell phone suddenly went off he muttered, "Hello?"

Nick Fury's face went blanched pale white, not an easy thing for a black man to do, "I thought you were Dea-

In a choked tone of voice Nick said, "But the Serum"

"Yes Ma'am… no member of Rodgers family is to be touched" Nick said.

Nick Fury looked at Steve & Natasha saying, "It would seem Margaret Carter has interceded on your behalf…"

"Nick" Said Steve, "I've seen Lady and Shadow defend Sophia, against a rogue wolf and Polar Bear"

"And kill both, what would they do to you!"

Three hours later Sophia walked past the three wolf guards across the hall to her parent's room, and she was tugging at her pajamas saying softly "Mama… doesn't fit."

Natasha's eye's shot open asking in a half whisper, "What doesn't fit"

"P.J's… don't fit…" Sophia cried, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Walking to the desk she opened the drawer and Natasha found a pair of scissors and cut the top away. Giving her daughter a quick once over Natasha realized that in a matter of hours Sophia had transitioned into second stage breast development thinking I can see why she was in pain

"Want to cuddle mama" Sophia said hopefully.

Taking her daughters hand Natasha & Sophia hopped into a queen-sized bed. Sophia quickly fell asleep resting her head against the natural pillow of her mother's breast, Lady curled up around Natasha feet.

0800 the next morning Steve woke up and rolled over to give his wife a kiss to find that she wasn't there, walking across the hall he sees his two favorite people resting comfortably, at some point in the night both Shadow and Devil had formed a perimeter around the bed itself.

In the bathroom Steve was drawing off some of his own blood thinking, Maybe a pure form of the serum will stabilize...

Natasha walks in an sees the syringe full of blood, asking, "Your thinking a pure form will stabilize it"

"That's My hope" Steve said softly.

Turning to face the door Natasha sad, "We will be down shorty Steve… Steve… someone need a training bra"

Steve turned slightly crimson saying softly, "I thought that was still a ways off"

"So did I, however when I have to cut my daughters nightgown off because it's too tight" Natasha said pointedly.

Moments later Steve finds Kit Walker in the gym asking him pointedly, "I'm assuming you have a discrete med bay and leb somewhere on the property!"

"What did you have in mind Steve!" Kit asks.

"Saving my daughter" Steve said softly

"Follow me Steve" Kit said as he shifted the dumb bells in a particular order causing one of the mirrors to slide up revealing a hidden passage.
