6 months later.
A whole 6 months had passed since Nat gave up her life to protect him, to go into hiding with him. He was forever grateful for her but it was developing into something much more than that, he was falling in love with this Woman and if she was being completely honest, she was falling in love with him too.
He stood in the doorway and watched her, smiling softly. Their chance of something a little normal was the most abnormal way of living but...it felt nice. Just the two of them, spending time together, arguing, cooking together, working out together, playing games and getting to know each other, it was perfect. Her short red hair had turned into even shorter hair, but this time was covered in beautiful blonde hair. She suited it so much, she was barely recognisable - which was good for the current situation - but she looked incredible. He had even grown out a bit of a scruffy beard which she had to admit was rather sexy. He stood in the doorway and watched her put the fresh sheets and bedding on ready for the night ahead - it was a cold one after all. She was humming to herself, with the bedroom fire crackling in the background, he smiled big and sucked in his bottom lip and decided that he had to just go for it. Walking up behind her, he smiled breathing softly against her neck, Nat even stood up straight feeling his presence behind her, it made the hairs stand up on her body. Letting out a soft breath she turned her head slightly, his fingers traced up her arms and she swallowed hard. "Can I help you?" She asked softly, her heart racing fast. "With one small thing.." He added back, he was nervous but excited. Spinning her to face him he looked to her and tucked a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear, "I'm in love with you Romanoff.." He whispered out knowing he could get his heart completely shattered, he hadn't felt like this since Peggy, but he missed that opportunity, he wasn't about to miss this one. Nat swallowed hard looking at him, dropping the sheets that were in her hand and moving it to his chest. It was a relief to hear it actually because she had been feeling the very same way for a while now. "I thought you'd never admit it." She smirked before tiptoeing up and kissing him deeply. She had wanted to do that ever since their first kiss on the escalators all those years ago. Steve let out a soft breath of relief on her lips, before grabbing her hips and pulling her closer to him. "Does this mean you agree?" He asked on her lips, "Just shut up and kiss me…" She whispered, pulling him down to her lips again. Steve took that as a yes and lifted her up before placing her down on the bed and hovering over her. Their foreheads touching as they gazed down at each other, her hand moved to cup his cheek and her legs rested against his side slightly, she had been in many relationships, been with many of her male encounters but never anything like this. In this exact moment Steve knew what 'waiting for the right person' meant, and Nat knew that love was in fact not for children, this was real and it had always existed.
9 months had passed.
Their time in hiding was about to get even more interesting, because Nat lay on their bed, in terrible pain. Steve paced back and forth in stress and panic, how could he comfort his girlfriend? He knew he had to just power through and be there for her, Sitting next to her and taking her hand she looked to him, "It's time.." She breathed out, her skin full of sweats and her breathing fast as she tried to control the pain, but bringing another human into this world wasn't painless and it wasn't easy. Steve swallowed hard knowing that it would be him having to deliver his child...they were in hiding and any check-ins meant that their whereabouts would go under threat. Half of the avengers were in hiding, Barton was on house arrest, Banner was still M.I.A after their battle on Sokovia, and Vision and Wanda were travelling the world and keeping a low profile together. It was hard...being away from everyone they truly cared about and loved, but this was their lives and they had to live it as best they could. After a couple of pushes and cries, Nat delivered their beautiful healthy baby. Steve seemed to relax the second the baby was in his arms, his eyes widened but became full of unbearable love...a love he had felt like no other before. "It's a boy…" He whispered in a smile to Nat as she lay back exhausted, even though she managed to crack a smile and a small tear. Steve passed their newborn son to his girlfriend and moved his arm around her, "Hi…." She whispered to her boy, who she loved more than anything. She always felt like she didn't know her purpose, that she had nothing, until this very moment. She had everything, she had purpose...she finally understood the feeling Barton had always told her about being a parent. There was nothing like it. "My sweet boy…" She whispered out softly, letting him wrap his tiny hand around her pinky finger, before looking up to Steve who kissed her forehead, "I love you." He told her with a smile, he was so proud. Although their son wasn't planned, he was so proud and he knew that he was no longer just a soldier, a protector...he was a father and his whole role had changed, his duties changed, his priority changed because now all it was about was Nat and their son.
James Clint Romanoff-Rogers, the most perfect little boy. The son of Natalia Romanoff and Steve Rogers.
