"Clint!"

Clint ran into Natasha's room at an impressive pace, slightly panicked. Her voice sounded more angry than it did scared or sad.

"What? Whats wrong Nat?"

She looked downright furious. The look on her face terrified Clint.

"Did you shrink my clothes in the laundry again? Everything shrunk!"

Clint couldn't help bursting into laughter, he laughed so hard he doubled over.

"What part of this do you think is funny Barton? It'll be funny once I rip your spleen out!"

He tried to stop laughing and wipe the tear that were freely rolling down his cheeks away.

"Nat, I didn't."

"then who did?"

"you did."

"what are you talking about Barton."

He tried to sit up.

"The clothes didn't shrink, nothing had shrunk. As a matter of fact, you've grown."

She looked at him with puzzled eyes. He saw them change from confusion to understanding. Her hands dropped to her stomach. They both looked down at her stomach as she pulled up the shirt she was wearing. It was clear, a bump was prominently sticking out.

"How the fuck did we miss that? It's huge"

Natasha glared at him but she couldn't keep the smile off her face. She slipped on a pair of flats and raced out of the room to the gym where the other avengers were residing. Bruce waiting for Natasha to do yoga, Tony was boxing with Steve and Thor was lifting weights.

"Steve!"

Steve turned, allowing Tony to get a good punch in.

"Is something wrong?"

She shook her head and pulled up her loose shirt revealing her belly.

"Did this happen overnight?"

Steve slipped off his boxing gloves and slid out of the ring, reaching Natasha and instantly placing his hand on her stomach and his smile widened.

"guess what this means?"

"what?"

"we get to go shopping?"

His smile turned into a pout.

"do I have to?"

"you wouldn't want me carrying any heavy bags would you?"

She had a twinkle in her eye as she slipped off her shirt to be in just a sports bra and tights as she joined Bruce by the yoga mats. After a relaxing workout Steve and Natasha went out for lunch followed by some shopping. In the first store they went to, every woman seemed to gravitate towards Steve. Natasha just rolled her eyes and began looking through the clothes.

"honey what do you think about this?"

She held up a dress and looked up to see Steve's terrified face. The women around him must be complimenting him and making him uncomfortable. Natasha walked over and grabbed onto him, pulling him towards the dressing rooms. She had a pile of clothing waiting in the dressing room to try on. They were there for hours. It was a good thing Steve had gone along with her because there were plenty of heavy bags to be carried. In fact, after stopping for dinner and dessert and going back to the tower, Steve had to carry Natasha out of the car. She was completely knocked out. Tony was mixing himself a drink at the bar.

"She alright?"

"Yeah, just exhausted. She's been on her feet all day."

Tony nodded and allowed Steve to carry Natasha into their bedroom. When he came back out Clint had joined Tony at the bar.

"So Natashas at four months."

Steve's eyes turned dark when Tony pointed that out. The last night, horrible things had happened at four months and that was what everyone was scared of. Even Natasha was terrified but she wouldn't admit to it.

"Hows she doing?"

"She's good, determined. She made me stop by a toy store today to pick up a teddy bear and by a paint store to look at some colors for a baby room."

They all got silent, everybody was hoping for the best, but they all knew there was a very large possibility that this could end badly quickly. Jarvis interrupted their silence.

"Mr. Stark, Mrs. Rogers is requesting a ben and jerrys ice cream. To be exact she said "make it chocolate therapy or else.""

"Why isn't she bugging her husband for it."

"she responded "because I actually like him, and he's the one in charge of my midnight cravings, unless you would like to be responsible for those.""

Tony rolled his eyes but grabbed his wallet and walked out of the room, presumably to the grocery store. Steve made some tea and Clint grabbed a bowl and chopped up some banana slices and put the bowl in the freezer as well as some green grapes, Steve looked at him questioningly.

"Its what Tasha like to eat with chocolate therapy ice cream."

Steve nodded and took the tea back to his room for Natasha. Clint simply stayed back and fixed his own plate of frozen fruit as well as a drink and took them to the roof with him.

Back in Natasha and Steve's room Natasha was sipping on the tea that Steve had brought her as she waited for her ice cream. Steve was putting away the clothes she had bought that day.

"You don't have to do that Steve, I'll get it tomorrow."

"It's no problem. How are you feeling."

She took another sip of her tea before smiling and answering.

"I'm feeling good. This little bugger is constantly pressing on my bladder, but I feel good."

Steve smiled as he pulled a little teddy bear out of one of the bags. He placed it on their bed and grabbed a blanket from the linen closet. Natasha got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. When she came back out Steve was adding blankets on their bed.

"Its really feeling like fall, getting really cold."

Steve noticed how stiff the conversation Natasha was making was so he took her in his arms and led her to bed.

"Whats on your mind?"

"what if the same thing happens again. What if I can't do this?"

"Natasha, you are a beautiful, strong, incredible woman. You can do this, we can do this. This baby is going to have the most beautiful amazing mother who is going to love them unconditionally. We can do this Nat, we'll do it together. I love you and I believe in you. I'm going to do anything I can to make sure this family stays together and happy."

Natasha pushed her face into Steve's strong chest and allowed herself a few moments of weakness before leaning up to capture his lips. Steve pulled her into his body and seemed to have no intention of letting go. However they were interrupted by a very loud billionaire.

"Ice cream with frozen green grapes and bananas for a cranky pregnant woman."

Natasha stuck her tongue out at Tony but happily took the bowl.

"Thanks Stark."

"youre welcome princess."

Instead of leaving Tony hopped on the bed and rested his feet on Steve's legs.

"Jarvis, tell the guys that theres a party in the lovebirds room. "

Natasha rolled her eyes as she got out of bed once again to grab clothes to sleep in and stepped into the bathroom to change, taking her ice cream with her. Tony laughed as Thor ran into the room carrying several pillows and poptarts. Bruce followed looking slightly confused as to why they were present and finally Clint dropped from the vents with snacks. By the time Natasha walked out of the bathroom in pajama pants and one of Steve's shirts, there were four grown men laying in her bed, only Steve looked slightly annoyed. Natasha was still eating her ice cream as she laid down against Steve's chest.

"Jarvis, play a comedy. Not too funny though, I know pregnant women struggle to control their bladders."

"Youre an asshole Stark."

"Love you too princess."

Natasha threw a pillow at Tony, causing him to fall off the bed. They all settled in the bed to watch whatever bad comedy that Tony had picked out. The room was silent until Natasha let out a small whimper. Everyone looked alarmed as they noticed her hands fly up to her stomach. They all panicked but a small stretched across Natashas face as she pulled Steve's hands up onto her stomach in time for him to feel a small flutter under his hands. It wasn't long before there we're several hands lining up to touch and the baby didn't disappoint. Each time a new palm pressed on Natasha's belly, the baby kicked, hard.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm being beat up."

Steve laughed and kissed Natasha's belly. She got up to go to the bathroom.

"Steve, this kid is trying to get all the liquid out of my body."

He chuckled and got up to get her a water bottle.

"You two hurry up and get back here! We need to finish this movie."

"Yeah Stark, I'll be there in a minute."

"Not soon enough!"

When Natasha came back she threw another pillow at Tony and rested against Clint, falling asleep almost instantly. Steve walked back in the room and took a look at his family. Not just Natasha and his baby, but the entire group on his bed.

When Clint woke up the next morning, he realized the positions that they were all in. Natasha was asleep on his chest with Steve close behind her. Thor was sprawled across their feet with Bruce using one of his calves as a pillow. Tony had nearly half the bed to himself but he was still resting an arm on Steve and a leg on Bruce.

"Jarvis, get a picture of this please."

"As you wish Mr. Barton."

It didn't take long for Natasha to get up because she needed to pee, and Steve waking up as well. Bruce woke up, leaving Thor and Tony asleep on the bed. Steve joined Natasha in the shower while Clint and Bruce went to make breakfast and shower in their own rooms. When Natasha and Steve walked out of their bathrooms they realized that Tony had rolled to practically cuddle with Thor.

"Jarvis project this video so that Bruce and Clint can see this. Also record and take pictures."

"Yes Mrs. Rogers. Would you like me to print out pictures Mrs. Rogers?"

"Yes please, thank you Jarvis."

Natasha giggled before grabbing a pair of flats and walking out.

"My feet are swelling."

"Does that mean we have to go shoe shopping?"

Natasha laughed at the look on Steves face before shaking her head.

"I'll invite Pepper…Can we go for a walk? And get soft serve?"

Steve nodded and went to grab their jackets. Natasha went to eat breakfast real quick before leaving. Clint had already served her breakfast.

"You look like such a cute innocent pregnant lady."

Natasha flipped him off before smirking. Her baby doll dress made it very evident that she was hiding a baby bump, but even with the loose dress she was still slightly showing.

"You ready to go honey?"

Natasha nodded and hopped off the counter, joining Steve at the elevator. He draped a jacket around her shoulders and took her hand.

"I'll see you guys later."

Natasha snuggled into Steve. The chilly autumn air was welcomed. Steve wrapped an arm around Natasha to keep her warm as they made their way to central park, stopping for soft serve.

"I love you beautiful."

"I love you too Steve, more than anything."

He pulled her in for a deep kiss, letting his feelings pour into the kiss. She could feel kiss love in that kiss and so could their baby. It chose that second to kick hard, allowing Steve to feel it since Natasha's stomach was pressed against his. Steve laughed and Natasha pouted.

"Your kid is mean."

"You mean our kid."

"No, she's yours when she's being mean."

"she?"

"I don't know, I feel like it's a girl."

"Is that what you want?"

"I don't know. I don't think I even care what it is as long as she's healthy and happy and perfect just like her daddy."

"Perfect just like her mom you mean?"

Natasha laughed.

"What can I say, we're just a good looking couple."

Steve looked at her oddly, Natasha was not usually so relaxed.

"Don't look at me like that. The hormones are making me wacky, just enjoy it."

Steve smiled tenderly as he kissed Natasha once again and took her hand to lead her further into the park. They stopped at a café for a small lunch before walking home. Natasha was slowing down significantly a few blocks away from home.

"Are you alright Nat?"

"My feet are swelling too big for my shoes."

Steve scooped her up in his arms and continued to walk at his regular pace.

"Let get home and get you a foot rub."

Natasha practically moaned at the idea of a foot rub which caused Steve to chuckle.

"You truly are the perfect man."
