Chapter 4

Coulson's Point of View

Friday had finally arrived and it was due to our first date night since Lily was born. On top of that Mel had agreed to let Barton and Romanoff be Lily's godparents despite their age. So when the knocked on the door to babysit I couldn't wait to tell them the good news. "Hi!" they said as I let them in. "Where is Lily?" Nat asked as soon as she was inside. "In bed sleeping sorry!" I laughed. "WHAT? I thought she would be awake!" she complained. "Can I wake her?" Nat asked.

"You can if you want to die, Mel will kill you. But when we are gone its fair play I don't mind as long as you get her back to sleep before we get home!" I smirked. Nat grinned and nodded in understanding. "Can I watch TV?" Clint called from the sofa. "Yeah in a minute there is something I wanted to ask you two first." I told them. "Shoot AC what it is?" Nat asked curiously. "Well Mel and I where talking and we thought it would be nice if you two were Lily's godparents." I told them.

Both of them looked incredibly shocked at my words. "For real?" Clint asked. "For real." I replied. "AWESOME!" They said in union. "I am totally in!" Nat squeaked. "Me to!" Clint added. "Ok good, I am glad you are happy!" I smiled. Just at that Mel walked down the stairs. She was dressed in a stunning black dress with matching shoes and silver accessories.

"You look great Mel." I complimented as I greeted her at the bottom of the stairs. "Thanks Phil." She blushed. "So did you ask them?" she said quickly changing the subject. "I did, and they are delighted." I told her. "Good, we couldn't have got a better pair." She said. "Thanks May it is an honour to have even been asked!" Nat replied.

"Well I know you two will be great. So are you ok here? You know where everything is?" I asked. "Yeah we are good, don't worry we have this under control. Go enjoy your night everything will be just fine." Clint reassured us as he pushed us towards the door. "What about her bottle?" Mel called in as Clint opened the door. "In the fridge May." Clint laughed. "Our numbers?" I called. "Also on the fridge!" Nat called back. "Lily?" Mel called. "Now that is just silly Agent May, we know she isn't in the fridge!" Clint joked. "Go have FUN!" was the last thing he said before slamming the door.

"Huh, this is strange." Mel said as we sat in the car and looked at Lily's empty seat. "Yeah it is, um what will we do?" I asked. "Dinner obviously but what will we do after that?" I asked, not used to any free time. "Lets just have dinner first!" Mel laughed. I nodded and pulled away from the drive.

We stopped at a nice looking restaurant and decided to eat there. When we were seated Mel said, "Maybe we should call them?" I laughed at her concerned face, "Mel we just asked them to be godparents, if we don't trust them a half an hour I am pretty sure that was a bad call!" I joked. "Besides we needed a night off, its good for us!" I told her. "Your right Phil. So what are you having to eat?" she asked. "Lobster sounds good." I said scanning the menu for the options. "Yeah I am having lobster, what about you?" I asked. "Same oh and a bottle of wine!" she added. "See this is fun!" I laughed.

Shortly after ordering, we were on to our second glass of wine as we waited for the food. We had easily gotten over our worries and the conversation was flowing. We were even holding hands and making little jokes. However I could tell Mel was starting to worry again about Lily as I poured glass three. "I will be back in a minute have to use the toilet." I said getting up and rushing off. I quickly went to the pay phone and called home.

"Hello?" Nat answered. "Hey Nat everything going ok?" I asked. "YOU OWE ME 5 DOLLARS BARTON! TOLD YOU THEY WOULDN'T LAST 2 HOURS!" Nat called to Clint. "You are taking bets?" I asked. "Not just one bet that I have now won. Everything is cool Lily is watching the Exorcist while I play Gameboy its all good!" Nat replied.

"WHAT?" I gasped. "I am joking Phil relax, Lily is asleep just after a bottle. Clint sang to her, badly might I add, but it worked. Right now he is hovering the house and I am washing the dishes ok? Can you go have fun with your wife now?" Nat asked. "Ok fine, we wouldn't be late." I said ending the call. When I turned around Mel was right behind me. "So who is the worried parent now?" she smirked. "Me I guess." I laughed in response.

"Dinner is served Phil, come on before it gets cold!" she said taking my hand and leading me to the table. As we ate we couldn't help but talk about Lily. It was just how things were now everything seemed to remind us of her. "How cute was she last night when I gave her some ice-cream?" I joked as dessert was served. "When she scrunched her little face up and didn't seem to know what was happening!" Mel laughed. "I got a picture of it!" she added. "Does this make us sad? That we can't stop talking about our kid?" I asked. "No I mean not everyone has a daughter as awesome and as cute as ours right." Mel laughed. "Right!" I smiled.

When we were finished in the restaurant, we were at a loss as to what to do next. That was until we came across amusement. "We are so going on that rollercoaster!" Mel grinned. "What no, you cant not in that dress!" I protested. "I have a change in the car scardy cat!" she mocked. "I'm not scared!" I lied. I obviously wasn't convincing as Mel rolled her eyes in response as she quickly changed. "Fine lets go!" I said when she had finished changing. I nodded and called a taxi to leave us off at the amusements.

However as we stood in the line for the rollercoaster I could feel my nerves growing. "You ok?" Mel laughed. "Fine." I whispered. However I wasn't fine I was so scared I thought I was going to be sick. As the safety guard came down around us, I knew I was going to be sick.

The rollercoaster took off like a rocket and all I could hear was screams of delight from everyone else as I screamed in terror. It was a white-knuckle ride that seemed to go on forever. When it finally screeched to a halt I was never as glad to touch solid ground. "You ok?" Mel asked again. "Fine." I replied as I managed to keep down the sick. "Your sure?" she laughed. "Yes that was fun." I lied. "Really?" she smirked. "No it was awful, lets just stick to the ground from now on!" I laughed. Mel smirked and said, "Fine win we a teddy then to make up for it!"

I looked around for something I knew I could win. "Ok then over here!" I said putting my arms around her shoulder and leading her to a stall. "One shot is all it takes!" the attendant said. "Give me one then!" I smiled as I lifted the toy gun. Thankfully I was a good shot and managed to knock down all the cans. "A PRIZE FOR YOU SIR!" The attendant said. "Or one more shot and you could win a gold fish?" he suggested. "Lily could be doing with a pet?" I said to Mel. "Oh and your daughter comes before your wife does she?" Mel joked. I nodded jokingly earning me a gentle punch in the arm.

As I took the next shot and made it we were handed our goldfish. "You are cleaning up after than thing!" Mel said rolling her eyes at the little fish. "Its our daughters first pet!" I said. "Our daughter is 2 months old Phil, that is going to be dead before she can even lift her head to see it!" Mel laughed. "True but at least we can tell her the story of her first pet when she is older!" I said defending my fish. "I am sure she will love that!" Mel replied.

As we walked around the amusements I realised Mel was yawing a lot. "Maybe we should head home?" I suggested. "Or we could book into a hotel? Leave Nat and Clint with Lily overnight?" she said much to my surprise. "Um really?" I asked shocked. "Yeah they seem to be doing ok, we could do with a night away." She replied. "Ok I will call them I am sure they will be delighted." I replied. Sure enough they were delighted and agreed to watch her until whatever time we decided to come home. So Mel and me headed for a nice hotel with Nick the fish for some much needed husband and wife time.
