They arrived in Wakanda with all the snap victims waiting eagerly in the hangar. The doors opened and everyone rushed forward. Wanda ran straight to Natasha and hugged her so very tightly. "Hey." She whispered. Natasha felt tears spill down her face as she hugged everyone. Finally she stepped back into Steve's arms and he hugged her tightly.
"I feel offended! Can't be bothered to say hi to me?" Natasha heard some call; she ran up to him and hugged him tightly. "Hey Clint!" She said happily. "Hey Nat. Glad to hear you took care of my family while me and Laura were gone."
"It was the least I could do." She said as he released her. "Welcome back." T'challa said, "Thank you. I have no idea about how to repay you."
"Don't repay us, repay Captain Marvel. She's the one who defeated Thanos and used the stone." Steve informed them and shook hands with T'challa.
T'challa nodded, "Well, I believe thanks are in order anyway. How about a celebratory dinner?" Everyone nodded and dispersed. Natasha saw Steve look upset and she had no idea why. "Steve, what's wrong?" She took his hand and squeezed it tightly. "I can't see them." She knew exactly who he was talking about- Sam and Bucky.
"I'm gonna go get some rest before dinner." She told everyone and pulled Steve up to their room. On the way she saw a flash of metal and she laughed. "James, I saw you. Stop trying to hide." Steve's head snapped round and she saw him smile widely.
"Buck?" he asked as Bucky stepped out in front of them. He nodded and Nat released Steve's hand and ran to his bestfriend. He hugged him tightly and Natasha felt someone tip her on the shoulder. "Hey, Sam." He pulled her into a hug. She broke away and smiled at him. "Is there something you two want to tell us?" Bucky asked as he hugged her and Sam hugged Steve.
"Do you wanna tell 'em or should I?" Nat asked and Steve said, "together." She nodded and interlaced their hands and placed them on her stomach. "Um, I'm pregnant." She said, her voice bursting with pride and happiness. "That's amazing! We all ready knew but still congrats!"
"Wait… oh yeah." Natasha said as it dawned on her- of course, they were in the soul world along with the Guardians and everyone else and must've seen out baby. Natasha yawned and the three boys laughed, "Natasha, you look like you're gonna fall asleep on your feet." Bucky said with a laugh. "Yeah, I think I am."
"You were asleep most of the plane ride here!" Steve exclaimed.
"No I wasn't. When everyone was asleep I woke up and piloted the jet for a bit. I only went back to sleep when we had only fifteen minutes to go." She told everyone. "I was awake at three every morning because my human pillow left me!" She punched Steve in the arm playfully. "Hey! It's not my fault I can't sleep." He defended himself but everyone just laughed.
"Go get some sleep both of you." Bucky pushed them both towards the door of their room. "See you at dinner." Nat called before she walked into the room.
It was beautiful. The bed was massive and the view was very scenic. They had a couch and it was about as big as a normal bed. Natasha dropped Steve's hand and walked to the bathroom. The bath was basically a beautifully clean pond and had a waterfall for a shower.
Natasha walked out of the bathroom and into the walk-in closet. It was massive and already had a bunch of clothes for both her and Steve. She pulled out a camisole and sleeping shorts; she changed into them and walked to the bed. "You ok Steve?" She asked to Steve who was staring at the floor- a hand in his pocket. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
Natasha didn't believe him, but she knew better than to push him. "What time is it?" Steve asked and Natasha checked the clock, "It's 3 o'clock."
"What time is the dinner?"
"Uh, I think it's about 6. I'll check with Shuri. Be right back." He kissed her and backed out of the room. Natasha lay back on the bed. What IS he hiding? He's been acting strange since we bored the jet. Natasha mulled over lots of different and they left her worried. She only thought of the bad possibilities and not the good ones. Slowly, she fell into a light sleep.
She felt Steve shaking her awake. She groaned and wanted more sleep but opened her eyes none the less. "Nat, we have the dinner in one hour." He said and helped her out of bed. "Uh-uh" Was all she could say before the nausea over took her and she charged to the bathroom.
She walked back out a laughed at Steve who was trying to navigate the walk-in-closet. She walked over to him and hugged him from behind. "Your clothes are on the right, mine are on the left." She told him and pulled out a floral, flowing top and a pair of jeans; she turned and saw Steve in jeans and a white top.
She changed and together they walked to the main dining hall. They were seated and ended up talking about the past 7½ months. Halfway through Peter's animated- and rather over exaggerated, Natasha thought- retelling of what happened when the government officials arrived T'challa stood up. "I believe thanks are in order." He said, tipping his glass towards Natasha, Steve, Tony, Strange and rocket. "Thank you. I don't think we can ever repay you. I mean you literally brought us back to reality." Everyone laughed and chanted thank you.
After dinner everyone stayed and talked a bit more before dispersing to their allocated rooms. Steve and Natasha walked back and Nat noticed that Steve was more on edge than ever. "Steve." She asked when they were both in sleepwear, "what's up? You seem really on edge." She asked and worried even more when he got up from the bed and moved to the closet.
She wanted to follow him but she decided against it, instead she grabbed her book- blood sisters- and started to read. She was at a really good part when she heard Steve call her name softly. She put the book down and looked to her side.
There he was, down on one knee, a ring in his hands. "Natasha, will you marry me?"
A/N- Sorry if there are any mistakes. I wrote this whilst listening to 'Good for You' from Dear Evan Hansen on repeat.
