Four weeks.

That was how long it would take for Tony to finish updating the security systems in the facility. After that, Steve would leave her. And if Tony's time predictions were correct, than by the time he was back she would have two months before the baby would be born.

She shuddered slightly at the thought and felt a stirring in her belly. "It's okay honey." She murmured, "I'm just worried about your father. He'll be back in time for you don't worry."

There was a pause in the movements inside her before a hard kick made her frown, "I'm not happy about it either little one but I'm not the one leaving so don't take it out on me." There was a couple more kicks and an elbow before the baby settled down.

The door opened and Steve entered with a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a glass of water in the other. "Who were you talking to?"

She gestured to her belly, "the only other person in the room at the moment."

Steve grinned and handed her the popcorn, "what's going on in there?" He settled himself on the couch beside her and she glanced at him, "I don't think that baby approves you leaving. He's trying to take it out on me."

She rested her hands on the side of her stomach and grimaced slightly. Steve moves closer, "still kicking?" She nodded and he gently placed his hand on the top of her belly. "Little one, calm down for your mother please. She needs rest." There was one last kick before the movement stopped. Natasha smiled, "looks like the baby will actually listen to you."

He gave her a quick kiss before going back to the task of trying to figure out what to watch. After some arguing they settled on Harry Potter since neither had seen it and Clint and Sam had both recommended it.

As the opening scene happened Natasha started fidgeting.

"What is it?" Steve asked and she looked at him guiltily, "I was just going to get some ice cream."

He grinned, as she entered her nineteenth week her cravings were getting considerably stronger.

"I'll get it for you." He said standing up.

She frowned, "I can get get it myself."

He shook his head, "earlier you said your feet hurt, you should watch the movie and I'll get you your ice cream."

She sighed and nodded although inwardly she was thankful that he remembered her feet hurting. So far the baby was having no mercy on her back and feet.

By the time Steve returned the movie was already fifteen minutes in. "What took you so long?" She asked as he carefully made his way back over.

"I forgot what you liked so I improvised." He said somewhat ruefully as he handed her the bowl. He had put three scoops of mint with honey, caramel, and chocolate sauce. To top it all off there were rainbow sprinkles, something she was pretty sure hadn't been in their cupboards.

Because her sweet tooth had never been particularly strong she was a little skeptical at first. All it took was one bite though, and she was in heaven.

"This is so good! You should make this more often!" She exclaimed as she dug in.

He laughed and proudly watched as she devoured her snack. Knowing that she appreciated his help in her pregnancy was reassuring when things got rocky.

"So, can we do this again tomorrow?" Natasha asked hopefully as she set the now empty bowl on the table.

He shook his head, "no, we have to go over Tony's plans for the facility remember?"

She made a face, "ugh, I'd rather just stay here with you."

"It won't take long I promise." He said feeling guilty that they were doing something that she didn't want to do. "Than you can come back here and we can watch all the movies you want."

She grunted slightly, "sounds good, as long as you make more ice cream."

Laughing he drew her as close as he could manage without squishing the baby and kissed her. His promises were starting to pile up, and he was starting to suspect that he couldn't keep all of them.
