*I'm back! So sorry there was such a long wait in between chapters but I'm back with more chapters and will post again soon. Hope you enjoy!*

Steve swung his shield into the head of an intruder and watched satisfied as he dropped. After a quick scan of the place he realized that he had taken out a pretty big majority of the Red Room thugs and that the floor was pretty much empty.

Without a second thought he ran for the stairwell hoping that he wouldn't find Natasha still in the building. He was so preoccupied that he nearly crashed into Wanda and Pepper who were running up the stairs towards him.

"Steve! You're okay!" Wanda exclaimed in relief and he nodded frowning, "where's Nat?"

Pepper was quick to answer, "there were too many people so we sent her on alone while we held them off."

He stared at them for a moment, "where is she now?!"

Pepper could only shake her head while Wanda closed her eyes, once again letting the familiar red energy flow out. Steve knew she was casting out her power to try and find Natasha and he waited with bated breath.

Finally she opened her eyes again, "they're in the woods and moving fast. Natasha is getting close to birth and both of them are starting to feel the stress."

Steve nodded and quickly ran past them hoping upon hope he could get to her in time.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Natasha was in too much pain to really do anything except brace herself against the seat of the car and hope she could make it. Beside her the Winter Soldier was looking just as anxious as she felt.

"Are you okay?" He asked tentatively and she opened her eyes, glaring at him.

"No I am not fucking okay! My husband is still back there somewhere and the baby is about to be born!" She would have said more had a painful contraction not silenced her.

"Husband?" He looked thoughtful, "this was not what I was expecting at all when I came back."

Natasha snorted but kept silent. Her fingernails dug into the seat of the car and she sensed rather than saw Bucky's wince.

"New car?"

He shrugged, "found it nearby, reinforced it, and hid it. Finally putting it to good use." He winced as her fingernails dug in deeper to the seat.

The next second all thoughts of the ruined seat were driven from his mind as something large and heavy fell onto the top of the car with a loud thud. Natasha screamed and Bucky jerked the wheel as for a brief moment his mind flashed to the screams of his targets.

Then his mind cleared and he slammed on the brakes. Natasha let out another shriek as the window cracked under the pressure. "What the hell was that?!" She yelled.

Bucky shook his head, "how am I supposed to know?" Reaching back he grabbed a gun. "I'm going out."

"Give me a gun!" She demanded. He shook his head.

"You're pregnant."

"I'm a Black Widow I don't care if I'm pregnant, give me a gun!"

They stared at each other for a second before he sighed and tossed her a gun. Almost immediately the thing that had made him swerve leapt back up onto the hood of the car. Swearing he lifted his gun and fired through the windshield.

"Quick!" He yelled to Natasha, "come over here, this car is an easy place to get trapped in."

Natasha shuddered but nodded and heaved herself over the console to his seat. Taking a deep breath he shoved the door open and the two stumbled out into the night.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Steve had used Wanda's powers. He hadn't wanted to, but she had insisted and finally he gave in. His mind was still reeling from the sensation of flying when he crashed onto the hood of the car. The one that had Nat in it. Almost immediately the car swerved and he could hear faint yells and then, a scream. Not just anyone's though. He would recognize Natasha's voice anywhere.

The car braked and he was thrown headfirst into a bush. Recovering quickly he jumped back onto the hood of the car only to be met with gunfire through the windshield. He was thankful he'd thought to bring his shield with him instead of leaving it with Pepper and Wanda.

The car door burst open and he was taken aback as two people scrambled out. With all the ruckus he'd been expecting many people.

"Stop!" He commanded trying to appear as non threatening as he could. It seemed to work, the pair slammed to a standstill and faced him.

Then Natasha let out a gasp of recognition and stumbled towards him, dropping the gun she had been holding.

"Steve! Thank god!"

Relief flowed through him as she reached him and he gave her a careful once over; looking for any injury of any kind. Once he was sure she wasn't hurt he wrapped her up into a tight hug.

"Next time you're staying with me." She murmured into his shirt.

He was about to respond when the other person finally decided to speak up.

"Sorry to interrupt this lovely get together but um, your wife is in labor and I also would prefer to get through the night without being shot."

Steve's hands clenched and his head shot up.

"Bucky?! What the hell are you doing here?! And how did you find Natasha?"

Bucky snorted, "first of all you guys were in trouble and I came to help. Second of all, your wife was not at subtle about running in a forest at midnight. It's a wonder she didn't get caught before I found her."

Natasha bristled, "excuse me? I was a little preoccupied by the bombs destroying my home to really watch out for people. Besides, I'm a Black Widow, I'm pretty sure that I know how to fight."

He shrugged and cast a doubtful look at her stomach. She could say anything, he was still going to doubt her.

She bristled angrily, she could defend herself!

"Natasha, we need to get you to a hospital immediately." Steve said, bringing her back to the present.

"Good- good idea." She commented as yet another contraction made itself known.

"Is the car still usable?" Steve asked Bucky. It was still a shock to see his friend standing before him but he needed to concentrate on Natasha right now.

Bucky nodded and went back to the car, quickly getting it started and back onto the main path that he had been originally following.

Steve carefully helped Natasha into the back and held her hand as they started moving.

"You alright?"

She gave him a tight smile, "Ask me that again in a few hours and then I'll answer."

*Bucky finally met the others and next chapter there will be a baby!*
