Tony POV:
"Crap!" We both say in unison.
We stand together staring at each other until Clint breaks the silence; "I'm going to be an Uncle! YES!" He says, excitedly.
"I'm going to be a father." I whisper, still trying to process the news."Do you think Nat knows?" I ask, curiously.
"I don't know, but I think that she probably is finding out right now, her mom went after her." Clint says.
"What am I going to Clint! I wasn't prepared for this at all! I mean, I'm going to be a FATHER!" I say freaking out. "What if I'm like my dad, what if the kid ends up hating me or I don't treat the kid right!" I say hyperventilating.
"Okay, okay. Calm down, Tony." He says and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Everything will be alright. I didn't have a dad and my kids turned out alright." He says calmly.
"Yeah, but you're good with your kids! What if I'm not! What if I just end up messing them up in the head!" I say, trying to regain my breath.
"It's your first kid, Tony. It'll be new for you just like it was for me. You'll make some mistakes but after a while you learn from them. It'll be hard but after a while it'll start getting easier." He says reassuringly.
"You're right, you're right. It's my first kid, I mean how bad could it possibly go!" I say, trying to calm down. "Oh no!" I say, face-palming.
"What? What's wrong?" Clint says, looking at me worriedly.
"The mission! Nat can't go on the mission if she's pregnant!" I practically yell.
"Oh. Maybe she can, I mean she's probably just finding out she's pregnant, which means she's probably not that far along. So, maybe she can do light work, nothing extravagant." He says, thoughtfully.
"You've known Nat way longer than I have. Do you think she'd listen to that!" I say.
"If she wants to protect her baby, then probably." He says, shrugging his shoulders. "You know you probably have to keep this a secret until she tells you. You can't just go up to her and say "Oh hey Nat, by the way, I had F.R.I.D.A.Y. scan you and found out your pregnant behind your back, congratulations!", that would just make her mad.``
"Oh crap, I didn't think about that! Do you think she'll tell me?" I ask.
"Of course she'll tell you, just give her time, it's a really big deal for her." He says, reassuringly. "We should head upstairs though, before they start to wonder why we've been down here so long." He says and I nod.
"Thanks, Clint, for your help." I say and he nods, smiling.
Natasha POV:
"Are you feeling better now, Nat?" Melina asks, rubbing my back with her hands, soothingly.
"Yeah, I'm just still surprised." I say, still in shock.
"Will you tell Tony?" She ask, curiously.
"Of course, I can't keep this from him, maybe tonight or something." I say, shrugging my shoulders. "What about the mission, Mama?! How can I do it if I'm pregnant?!" I ask, freaking out.
"How far along do you think you are?" She ask.
"I think maybe a week, something like that. Why?" I ask.
"If you're not that far along, you can still accompany us, you won't be allowed to do the heavy fighting and stuff like that, just light work." She says and I nod gratefully. "We should probably go back now before they start getting worried." She says and gets off the bed.
"Okay, thank you, Mama, for your help and comforting me." I say and hug her.
"Always, malenÊıkiy." She says and I smile.
We go back into the living room and Tony and Clint come up from the lab.
"You alright, Nat?" Tony ask.
"Yeah, just don't feel that well right now." I say and smile reassuringly because I can tell he's worried.
It's two hours later and everyone goes back home and it's just Tony and me in the bedroom.
"I have to tell you something, Tony." I say and he looks at me worried. "I ran away today because I wasn't feeling good and I found out I'm pregnant." I say and his eyes widen. "I know we said we'd thoroughly talk about this but I think I've been pregnant for a week now. I didn't want to rush you into fatherhood, I'm sorry." I say, worried he'll be mad.
"I'm not mad, Nat. I could never be mad about that. I'm actually thrilled but still nervous. But I'm not mad." He says and hugs me, comfortingly.
"But we weren't prepared for this, and what about the mission, I can still help but not like I usually do." I say.
"I know, we aren't prepared for this, but that's parenthood, we just have to take one step at a time. And about the mission, we'll be having all the Avengers and your family helping out, I think we'll manage." He says, smiling.
"I'm so glad I fell in love with you!" I say, kissing him.
"Me too, anything you need?" He asks.
"Actually, if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind some Oreo ice cream now." I say smirking.
"I don't think we have any, but I could make a quick stop to the store really quick." He says.
"What would I ever do without you." I say.
"Probably live the rest of your life sad because you never had someone like me." He says, smirking, I kiss him goodbye and he leaves for the store.
Tony POV:
"What would I ever do without you." She says, dramatically.
"Probably live the rest of your life sad because you never had someone like me." I say, smirking, Nat kisses me goodbye and I leave for the store.
I drive one of my sports cars and go into the store really quick and get the Oreo ice cream and other flavors, just in case.
I'm on my way home when I suddenly push the breaks because there's someone in the middle of the road.
It's a person in a suit, with a shield on its back. The person walks towards the car and I push the red button for my suit but it won't power up, there must be jammers planted.
I back up my car but she throws the shield at the engine and it shuts down.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y.?" I ask, hoping she's still online.
"Yes, Boss?" She ask.
"Thank goodness, you're still online. Activate my suit, send it here and notify the Avengers of what's going on, and who's attacking me right now?" I ask curiously.
"Your suit will be here in ten minutes and the person appears to be Taskmaster, Boss." She says and I sigh, I don't think I have ten minutes. Wait, Nat told me about Taskmaster, Dreykov's daughter.
I pull on my wrist glove and get out of the car really quick, firing repulsor shots at the attacker.
Taskmaster takes out her shield and deflects the shots. She takes out a gun and shoots but I hide behind the car really quick. She shoots darts, which means if Dreykov sent her, that at least means he wants me alive.
I shoot more shots but one of the darts hits me in my shoulder and I start feeling numb. I'm about to pass out but Taskmaster grabs my arm.
"Dreykov requests your presents." She says and everything goes black.
