Chapter VI

"That was...I mean I got no comparison, but that was..." Steve trailed off, trying to catch his breath. Natasha had trouble to do the same.

She smiled and rolled onto her side. "It was perfect." She pressed a kiss to his shoulder. "It's never been like this for me before."

Steve pulled her on top of him. "Yeah?" He asked, smiling at her beautifully.

"Yeah." She kissed him softly. Sleeping with Steve had been different. It had been special and she hadn't been lying. It had never felt like this before. Natasha knew now that there was a difference between sex and making love.

"I'm so happy that you're my first." He pulled her down for another kiss. "The only one."

"Steve-" God, he couldn't say those things. It made the butterflies in her stomach go crazy. She tried to pour everything that she was feeling into a kiss and Steve moaned against her lips and- woah. "Already?" She rolled her hips and yep, he was definitely raising to the occasion again.

Steve gave her boyish smirk and flipped her onto her back. "I want to be on top now." He bit her lip and holy shit, he truly was a fast learner. His fingers were between her legs and she moaned loudly into his mouth. "Feel good? I want you to feel as good as you make me feel, sweetheart."

She dug her fingernails into his sweaty back. God, he was driving her out of her mind. "More. Inside me, now." She whimpered and she wasn't even embarrassed. No, she didn't need to. Not with Steve.

"God, yes." Steve groaned and was about to do what she'd asked when Chloe started to cry. They both looked over to the baby phone. Maybe she'll calm down- Nope, that was her I'm hungry cry.

"Sorry." She whispered and gave him a short kiss. He got off of her and she quickly got out of her bed. She grabbed Steve's shirt and threw it on. She left the room to get Chloe. This was probably going to happen more than once. First they get cock-blocked by Sam and Bucky, and now by a baby. The universe really wasn't kind to her raging libido.

Steve was already in the kitchen, getting Chloe's formula ready, when she came into the room with Chloe in her arms. He was only in his boxers. Fuck. He looked so good. God, she couldn't wait to get him into her bed again. Couldn't wait to suck his- Okay, you've got a baby in your arms, Romanoff. Calm down! Think pure thoughts!

Steve handed her the bottle after checking the temperature and Chloe greedily started sucking. Well, at least one of us gets to suck.

She looked up from Chloe to see Steve watching them with a fond smile on his face. "You two look so beautiful together."

She smiled shyly. She wanted this. She wanted Steve. And she wanted to raise Chloe with him. She wanted to experience everything with him. Steve came over to them and cupped her face to give her a peck. Chloe quickly finished her bottle and Natasha burped her. The baby was now wide awake, watching everything around her with interest. They danced with Chloe and she was giggling so much that Natasha felt like her heart was jumping out of her chest. Chloe laughed and laughed until her eyes were getting smaller and smaller. They tucked her into bed when she was already half asleep and both she and Steve kissed her forehead after Natasha finished an old Russian lullaby.

Steve pulled her against him when they left Chloe's room. "God, the fact that you're naked underneath my shirt is driving me insane." His hands slid underneath the shirt and grabbed her naked ass.

"Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?"

He grinned at her wickedly, and boy did she enjoy this new side of Steve, before he tossed her over this shoulder. "You're about to find out!"

Zemo had been broken out of prison and Natasha had been sure that Steve would have left immediately to get to Germany, but he hadn't. He'd only said that Bucky hadn't called yet so he was going to stay put. No, Steve was still in New York and currently booping Chloe's nose on Natasha's couch. Their little girl was giggling happily, trying to grab his hand. Natasha was filming the whole thing when her phone rang.

Yelena was calling. No, she couldn't have found a family yet.

"Hello?"

"Hi!" Yelena sounded happy. "How's my little bug?"

"She's doing great. Growing each day as it seems." Please don't tell me you found a family. "Did you find someone yet?" Steve looked at her.

"No!" Yelena sounded annoyed. But Natasha was relieved which was so selfish. "Only psychopaths are looking for kids as it seems. I'm not giving Chloe to someone named Karen."

"So, you're still looking?" Natasha asked and Steve looked visibly relieved as well.

"Yeah. Or you know, you could-"

"Yelena!"

"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to check in with you. Be safe and take good care of my little bug!"

"I will. Bye, Leni." She ended the call and placed the phone on the coffee table.

"Nat, I know you've got reservations and I get it, but why don't we raise her?"

"Steve-" She couldn't admit that she wanted that. Her own little family. Be Chloe's mother, and be Steve's wife one day. She didn't deserve any of that.

"Just think about it." He gave her a hopeful smile. "I know that we're meant for each other. You and me. You have to know that I bought that house for us to live in. And we're meant to be Chloe's parents." She blinked her tears away. It sounded so good. "I don't mean to upset you. Just think about it. Please."

She nodded. "I will."

Steve smiled. "I'll put the munchkin down for her nap."

She watched how he picked Chloe up and carried her into her room. Natasha pulled her knees against her chest. She had been giving another chance. She'd died and then come back to life. Had come back to Steve who'd cried so much when she'd reappeared on Vormir. Steve who had been her last thought before she'd died. Steve who'd had her heart, who'd always had her heart. This was her second chance at life. This time, she was going to get everything she wanted. She'd died for her sins and was now reborn. She got up from the couch and ran into Chloe's room.

Steve opened his mouth, but he didn't get a word out because she was already kissing him. "I'm not giving up my family. I'm not punishing myself anymore. I'm done with it. You and Chloe are mine."

"I love you." Steve whispered and he looked so happy. All she wanted was to make him happy. "God, I love you. I want all of you."

"You do. You have everything of me. I love you, Steve." She kissed him again. "I love you so much."
