"I can't believe it." Bruce said. Everyone but Clint and Natasha was sitting around the living room.
"I can." Tony shrugged.
"How far along do you think she is?" Steve wondered.
"She should be about nine weeks." Pepper said right away. They all looked at her.
"You knew?" Tony asked. She didn't answer but it was obvious that she did.
"This changes a lot." Steve said slowly. Silence answered him and they all thought about it. Suddenly Tony let out a laugh. They all looked up at him.
"Sorry I was just trying to picture what the kid will be like. When he or she's older we'll be more than twice his age but he'll probably still kick our asses."
Steve smiled and thought about having a baby around. He actually started to think it would be kind of nice.
"What do you think it'll be?" Bruce asked. Their thoughts were going to the better stuff and the mood was lightened.
"I think it's a girl." Pepper said right away. Tony shook his head.
"I'll put money on a boy."
"I'm going for a boy too." Steve shrugged.
"Well I think it's a girl." Bruce said.
"Tied." Tony said. "You are the doctor though so if you cheated it doesn't count." Tony grinned.
"They didn't seem to excited." Natasha was saying upstairs in Clint's room. He was changing into fresh clothes while Natasha lounged on his bed. He finished and sat next to her.
"They're just surprised." Clint assured.
"What do you think they're talking about down there?" Natasha asked. She was worried they wouldn't accept her being pregnant or worse, wouldn't accept the baby after its born. They would need help and the Avengers were the only friends she had.
"I'm not sure. Do you want to go down and talk to them yet?" Clint asked.
She was actually about to say no but knew she had to face them sooner or later.
Clint and Natasha walked into the living room. The rest of the group looked up at them as they made their way to their loveseat.
"How are you feeling?" Pepper asked.
"Good." Natasha smiled. It was awkwardly silent between all of them and Steve coughed.
"Hey Barton," Tony said suddenly. Pepper gave him a look to make sure he didn't say anything mean or try and be funny. Clint looked at him and raised his eyebrow.
"Wanna play a game?" He asked and pointed at the Xbox.
Clint glanced at Natasha before nodding. They sat on the floor with their backs against the couch like usual. Tony put in the game they played just the other day where you have to find each other and kill one another.
They picked their usual player and gear and in no time were set loose into a new location. This time they were in the woods but there were only five different locations in this game so they already played in this one many times.
"So, our bets our tied." Tony started. Clint glanced at him.
"About the baby," He explained and Clint looked back at the screen. He learned after just playing twice where each player was dropped into the game and he knew how to reach the other player quickly without them realizing he was getting closer. In no time he saw Tony's player flash on the screen but he quickly turned so Tony couldn't look over on his screen and see he was close.
"So what do you think? Boy or girl?" Tony asked. It grew quiet as they waited for Clint to answer but before long a smile spread on his lips. He didn't turn away from the screen though but he also didn't shoot at Tony yet. "Boy." He answered.
"Romanoff?" Tony asked and looked up at her. Clint's screen showed Tony and the group saw Clint raise his gun but he turned away and circled again.
"I think she's a girl." Natasha said with a smile. Tony sighed and looked back at the screen. "Tied again. We'll have to see what Thor thinks." Tony said.
He walked forward but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Suddenly he heard realistic gunshots and his health bar went from 100% to 75% before he could even move.
"Dammit." Tony slurred under his breath but smiled. "How are you so good at this game?" He asked. His player ran but Tony knew with a glance to Clint's screen that he was following.
Clint laughed. "Master assassin, remember?" Tony smirked and stopped suddenly. His gun already raised and he shot out in every direction through the trees.
Clint backtracked and tried to run away but his player was hit bringing his health to 87%.
"That wasn't fair." Clint grinned when he circled around.
"It was very fair." Tony smiled just before Clint was shooting him again. He complained as he made his player run away again. 60% health now.
"Steve, come take my place for a sec." Tony said and handed up his controller. Steve took it and sat where Tony was after he got up.
Steve turned his player around trying to see his surroundings. He ran away through the trees and came up on the small hill. Clint was circling the ring of trees that surrounded the hill and was waiting for the best time to strike in a way that if Steve fired back, he could get away.
Steve was making his player turn around in circles slowly so he could watch for Clint. That's when he saw movement in the tree line. Steve didn't think about it. He just shot around where he though he saw Clint.
In real life, Clint laughed. He was forced to run again but he crouched and fired not even a minute later. Steve ran off the hill and through the trees. Clint followed and kept Steve's player visible on his screen because Steve already knew Clint was following. Clint's health was at 80% and Steve was at 45% thanks to Tony but soon enough Tony came back and wanted his controller back.
When Tony was in control again, Clint smirked when he went back to following him without letting it show on his screen. Tony was walking to his right when Clint shot at him repeatedly and followed close behind when he ran. He kept shooting and forced Tony to turned and shot his own gun. It was too late though because two shots later his character died.
"Oh, what a surprise. You won." Tony said sarcastically. Clint smirked.
"Hey Romanoff, let's see you out here." Tony said and held out his controller.
They each played each game but never against each other. She grinned as she took the controller and sat next to Clint.
She looked over and he gave a playful wink. She smiled and picked her player and gear.
"This should be good." Steve said.
"Kick his ass for me." Tony called and made them all laugh.
Natasha's worries about her friends not being there when she needed them the most disappeared.
She smiled when the players were dropped in an abandoned town and she heard Tony make a bet behind her.
