Cho: He is not dead! Did you ever made a CPR on someone?
B: Yes, but he is so small and looks so fragile.
Cho: I know, that's why you'll use two fingers and not your hands. Make a slight pressure.
B: I'm afraid.
Cho: Fear will not help at all, he only have you now, Bucky. His life is in your hands
Bucky agreed and laid the baby's body in the blanket and made the slight pressure on the baby's chest, alternating with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
B: Come on, baby! Help me! Be strong. C'mon.
Cho and Hill are waiting anxiously in the hospital. Hill gnawed all her nails and closed her eyes, wondering if she had lost along with Natasha, the baby. She let out a cry of relief and despair and covered her mouth when she heard a baby crying.
B: Oh my God, I did it! He is here. He is crying.
Bucky also cried along with the baby, he was very nervous. The responsibility was too much.
Cho: Well done, Bucky. Look for another blanket to cover him.
Bucky obeyed and held the baby, who was still crying.
B: Why is he crying so much?
Cho: He's scared, but let him cry, he will calm down soon.
- Attempting to land at the hospital, sir.
The pilot warned and landed in the hospital's roof.
A medical team was already there and removed Natasha's body, taking her to the operating room. Another medical team took Sam.
Cho took the baby from Bucky's arms and thanked him.
Cho: You saved both.
B: Will they be fine?
Cho: They will!
Steve arrived at the hospital reception, all smashed. They led him to the waiting room. Steve couldn't even sit, he was so nervous.
Bucky appeared in the waiting room, all bloody and with placenta on his clothes. Steve looked at him, shocked.
S: Bucky! Natasha?
B: Cho said she will be fine.
S: And the baby?
B: He is ok too, Cho is taking care of him.
S: So he is born and he is alive?
Bucky consented to his head and smiled, though exhausted.
B: You are a father now.
H: Thanks to your friend! He made the birth in the jet, he cut the umbilical cord and even revived the baby.
Hill added. Steve couldn't contain himself and cried. He hugged his friend and thanked him.
Cho appeared in the waiting room.
Cho: Does the father wants to see his son?
Steve and Bucky embraced again. Sam came running, before they finished the embrace and hugged them both.
H: Wow, I've never seen anything so gay in my life.
Cho: Come. Follow me.
Cho did Steve and Sam wear sweaters because they were with street clothes and the baby had been bathed. Sam insisted that he was entitled to see the baby, since he is the "godfather". Cho gave up trying to convince him to wait.
Cho opened Natasha's room door, but she wasn't there, only the baby crying a lot.
Steve stopped at the door for a minute to realize that his son was in the world and right there in front of him. Steve reached over and took him in his arms.
S: Shh... Sh... boy. It's all right.
The baby stopped crying as soon as he heard Steve's voice.
Sam: He is perfect, man.
Steve sighed and smiled looking at the child.
S: He is.
Steve looked at Cho.
S: Natasha?
Cho: She'll be fine, doctors stopped her bleeding and she'll be back here in two hours. Congratulations, Daddy Rogers!
Hill appeared at the bedroom door.
H: Can I see him?
S: Of course.
Hill came over and looked at James.
H: OMG He already looks so much like you. Blue eyes like yours, look.
Hill smiled at the baby and she was delighted. Sam noted, first time he saw Hill being human, which made her more attractive.
H: As long as you pull your mother's intelligence!
Hill told the baby and Steve looked at her.
S: Do you want to hold him?
H: What? Me? No! I don't even know how to hold it.
Sam: It?
S: Why don't you sit in the chair and try?
Hill was bland, but she wanted to hold the baby. She sat and Steve put the baby on her lap, the baby began to cry again.
S: Sh... sh... It's Aunt Hill, it's okay.
The baby was stopped crying, he was just mumbling.
H: Aunt Hill?
Steve laughed.
H: What's his name?
Hill asked, despite the fact she already knew his name, way before their parents.
S: We haven't choose a name.
Sam: Samuel Rogers!
Steve shook his head, laughing.
Steve wanted to shower before Natasha come to the room. He took the opportunity to let the baby with Sam and Hill.
When Steve returned, Natasha was already there, but under anesthesia, sleeping.
H: They are sleeping.
Sam: Do you need anything else?
S: No. Thank you, Sam! Just one thing, you could stop by my apartment and bring some clothes for me and Natasha and the baby bag.
Sam hugged Steve and he went away with Hill.
Steve stared at the baby and Natasha and he couldn't be happier to have both with him.
Steve sat in the chair beside Natasha's bed and ended up falling asleep, he woke up late at night when the baby woke up and started crying desperately.
A nurse came and took the baby, she said she would feed him, since Natasha had not yet woken.
A few minutes later, the nurse brought the baby back and Steve held him in his arms.
Natasha shook her head slowly and opened her eyes, trying to recognize where she was. She looked at Steve with her son in his arms and she felt a huge relief for him to be alive and even forgot that she is too.
Steve looked at her and smiled.
S: Look what we did.
Steve lowered the baby to Natasha see him. Natasha gave a small smile and sighed.
N: Is he okay?
S: Yes. Do you want to hold him?
N: I… I don't know.
Steve approached with him.
S: Can you sit down?
Natasha shifted to sit, she still felt some pain in her belly. Steve put the baby on her lap. Natasha couldn't help but let a tear fall, when she felt her son for the first time. She couldn't stop staring at him. Hold him in her arms was the most comforting feeling in this world.
N: How can you love someone you just met, that much?
Steve a olhou e sorriu.
S: You did it, baby!
Steve kissed Natasha's forehead.
The nurse knocked and entered the room, carrying a diaper. She was Japanese.
- Change baby. Diaper. Take.
S: Huh?
- You father or you mother. Change baby. Diaper.
Steve looked at Natasha. Natasha wiped her tear.
N: He already does these things? Here, take him, Steve.
S: I don't know how to change diapers.
N: And you think that I know? He is too small, I'm afraid to break him.
S: Can you not do that?
- Father. Mother. Americans does not know how change baby's diaper. But know how to make baby. Okay baby, come baby. I change baby's diaper.
The nurse took him from Natasha's arms and Natasha got nervous, she didn't want to get away from him. But the nurse changed him right there in the room and soon returned him to Natasha.
N: Steve?
S: Huh?
N: He slept, put him in the cradle, please.
Steve took him and placed in the cradle, he noted that the hospital placed a "bracelet" in the baby's arm, but had no name.
S: He needs a name.
N: I chose a name.
Steve looked at Natasha with arched eyebrows.
N: I want it to be James.
Natasha was afraid of Steve getting jealous, but in fact this was the first boy name that Steve thought, from the time they were choosing babies's names, but he never had the opportunity to say, especially after the fight with Bucky. Steve smiled at Natasha.
S: I loved.
Natasha smiled.
N: We have to let Sam be the godfather, you know that, right?
S: What about Clint?
N: He'll understand. He can be godfather of consecration.
They both smiled until Natasha break her smile down, sigh and stare at Steve. Steve didn't notice that she was looking at him differently, till the silence start getting weird. Steve also broke his smile and the two were minutes without saying anything, just looking at each other, almost without blinking.
Natasha looked down and said whispering to not wake James.
N: Remember when you called me to complain about Tony? I was going to tell you something and I gave up?
Steve nodded.
S: What was it?
N: I would say it, as I intended to say several more times and failed. I...
Natasha looked in his eyes again. Steve looked at her full of tenderness in his eyes. As always.
N: I love you.
Steve didn't expect to hear that, even Natasha taking all this time explaining. He thought he would never hear she say these three little words, and he didn't even even care anymore, he loves her so much. But now that he heard, he cares a lot. This silly smile on his lips was involuntary. Steve blush.
S: I love you too. So much.
Natasha sighed and smiled. She was relieved and proud of herself for having been able to express her real feelings.
N: I should have said it before, because I love you so much that sometimes I feel suffocated. It had so many times that I meant to say. But I... I ...
Steve didn't let her finish the sentence, he sit more forward, he grabbed Natasha's face with both hands and pressed his lips to hers.
Steve leaned his forehead against Natasha's. Natasha rubbed her nose at Steve's nose and gave him a peck on the lips.
They heard James emit a sound, he was awake but not crying. They both looked at James and smiled.
