Clint awoke silently in bed that morning, his arms wrapped affectionately around the love of his life. Clint watched Bobbi as she slept peacefully, the morning sun shining on her face, turning her hair into a kaleidoscope of gold. "I told you I can tell when you're watching me," she murmured.
Clint smiled. "I didn't want to wake you. Didn't want…this to end."
"I know exactly what you mean," Bobbi pulled herself closer to Clint as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. "I ended it with Hunter."
Clint blinked. "When?"
"While you were sleeping."
"And how'd that work out?"
Bobbi sighed. "He pretty much accused me of cheating the second I walked through the door." Bobbi noticed the scowl on Clint's face as he clenched his jaw. "Hey, I knew I was in for went when I called him. I'll sort things out when I get back. But that's not what's important right now," Bobbi gently placed her hand on Clint's chest "Right now, all I want is to be with you, because I love you."
Clint smiled. "Well that's good, because I sure do love you Bobbi Baby."
Bobbi smiled. "I love it when you call you Bobbi Baby." Bobbi grinned as she gently pressed her lips against his.
The kisses between the two began again, becoming longer and more frequent as Clint rolled Bobbi on top of him. The archer groaned as the two lovebirds were soon interrupted by a knock on at the door "Yeah?"
"Uncle Clint? It's me," James called through the door "Can I come in?"
Clint's eyes widened as he the situation that he and Bobbi were in. "One second!" The two lovebirds quickly separated and jumped out of bed, scrambling for their scattered clothes on the floor.
James started tugging on the locked door. "Uncle Clint? Why's the door locked?"
"Just hold on Jamie," Clint called as he hopped into a pair of gym shorts "We'll be with you in just a second.
"I can't find my top!" Bobbi whispered.
"Here!" Clint hissed as he tossed Bobbi a purple flannel shirt.
"Bobbi? Is that you? What are you guys doing in there?"
"Nothing!" The lovebirds said together.
"I can pick the lock," James threatened "Mom showed me how!"
"That figures," Clint groaned as he pulled a t-shirt over his head.
"Just hold on sweetie," Bobbi said as she buttoned up her shirt "We'll be with you in just one second."
"You said that forever ago," James complained "Come guys, let me in!"
"Coming!" Clint quickly rushed to the door as Bobbi hopped back into the bed. Clint opened the door and smiled "Hey buddy. What's going on?"
"What took you guys so long?" James asked. "Nobody's seen you since you got out of the gym last night. What were you guys doing?"
"Nothing," Clint and Bobbi said quickly.
James craned his head around Clint and spotted Bobbi. "Were you guys sleeping this whole time?"
"Yeah, we were just, you know talking," Clint explained quickly "catching up. And then we just, dozed off."
"So how come you changed clothes?"
Clint's jaw went slack "Uh….,"
"James, did you need something?" Bobbi asked, earning a very grateful look form Clint.
"Not really, I just wanted to give you this," James walked over to Bobbi and handed her a memory card from his smartwatch.
Bobbi frowned. "What's this?"
"Recordings. I took them when I was spying on you. I don't need them anymore."
Bobbi smiled. "Why? You got some crazy prank cooked up for me?"
James blushed. "I sort of already got you."
Clint laughed.
"What's so funny?" Bobbi asked.
"The gym," Clint chuckled "The kid locked us in the gym on purpose."
"What?" Bobbi's widened. "James, why would you do that?"
"So you would stop being mad at Uncle Clint."
Bobbi glanced at Hawkeye suspiciously "This was you?"
Clint shook his head. "I asked the kid to help after he got you to come here, but if knew the kid was going to lock us in a room together with you that mad and you had your batons, I would've barrowed one of Stark's suits first."
Bobbi was surprised. "You asked for me?"
James nodded. "Uncle Clint was looking for you. Besides, I probably would've asked to you come anyway."
Bobbi's eyes narrowed. "Why?"
James smiled, his pale blue eyes sparkling with a mischievous light that came whenever a little child gained a secret and wanted the world to know he had one, but would never reveal what it was. "I missed you Aunt Bobbi."
Bobbi's jaw went slack. "What did you just call me?"
James' smile widened. "Pepper says breakfast will be ready soon." and he left without another saying another word.
Bobbi was the first to speak. "Clint, did he just call Aunt Bobbi?"
"He certainly did."
"What does that mean?"
Clint smiled as he locked the door and walked over to Bobbi "I think…that it's a sign of good things to come."
"Clint," Bobbi chuckled as she felt his lips tickle his lips "as much as I would to stay in bed all day with you, something tells me that kid's going to be looking for a playmate pretty soon."
Clint groaned as he crashed his head into a pillow. "Remember what I said about kids? I changed my mind."
"Romanoff."
Natasha looked away from the punching bag as she took a breath. "Morse. The brains finally crack the orb?"
"That's not why I'm here." Bobbi looked away briefly "For a long time, I blamed you for my marriage falling apart. A lot of people at SHIELD wanted to be the one to take you in, Clint especially. So when he came back wanting for you to join SHILED,"
"You thought I was playing him," Natasha finished.
Bobbi nodded. "Even after I realized that wasn't the case, I still couldn't shake this feeling I had about you two. At first, I thought it was because I was losing him to you. Now I realize, I was jealous," she admitted "You and Clint, you have this bond. And to see become so strong so fast, it scared me. So, I made you the enemy. And for that, I'm sorry."
Natasha stayed silent for a moment, her green eyes stoic and unrevealing "Can I ask you something?"
Bobbi was caught off guard. "Sure."
"That fight we had in my apartment. You know I was going easy on you right?"
Bobbi smiled as she saw the playful smirk appear on Natasha's face. "Prove it."
"Look who came out of the love nest."
Clint simply smiled as he took a long sip of his coffee. "Make all the jokes you want, Stark. I am on cloud nine."
"I'll bet," Tony chuckled "I was starting to think you two were going for some kind of record in there."
"What can I say? Bobbi and I had a lot of catching up to do."
"You two were in there for almost twenty-four hours straight. I think it's safe to assume you're all caught up."
Clint smiled. "Not even close. Though we'd probably still be in there if it weren't for-,"
"UNCLE CLINT!"
Clint sighed. "That."
James came barreling into the kitchen as fast as he could, his eyes wide with panic. "Mom… Bobbi…fight… gym… hurry!"
"Not again!" Clint quickly shot up from his chair, racing to the gym only to have Steve catch up and pass him.
"Hey, Clint."
"Yeah?"
"What happened to cloud nine?"
"It sunk!"
True enough, Clint and Steve found Bobbi and Natasha going at it the gym. Bobbi had just swept Natasha's legs out from under her and was going into the final blow when Clint swooped in pulled her back while Steve grabbed Natasha. "Clint! What am I doing?"
"Me!? You're the one in her trying to take Natasha's head off. I thought we were past all that!"
"Wait, you think that I was-?" Bobbi laughed "Baby, we were just sparring."
"Sparring?"
"Yes Clint sparring. Rogers, I am not made of glass," Natasha quickly shrugged off the super soldier's helping hand "Bobbi and I worked things out. And afterwards I decided to prove to Bobbi that I could take her in a fight."
"Says the girl that was just lying flat on her back," Bobbi smiled as she wrapped her arms around Clint's waist "So, you good?"
Clint smiled "My two best girls finally getting along? This is a dream come true."
