Steve is having a little problem with James and he calls Natasha for help.
Steve dialled his wife's cell phone and waited for her to pick it up. It took about eight rings, but she finally answered. "Hello?"
"Nat, is now a bad time to call?"
She almost sounded agitated when she picked up the phone.
"I'm a little tied up at work, but go ahead."
At first, Steve wanted to ask what she meant by 'tied up', but decided against it. She was on a mission, he knew that much, but the nature of said mission was one he'd probably be better off not knowing.
Now he felt embarrassed for what he was about to say, but he already called his wife, so he might as well tell her. "Nat, James fell in the toilet."
There was a silence on the phone and Steve began to feel like an idiot for calling her.
"...that's it? And I thought this was something important." She rolled her eyes. Natasha loved her husband, she really did, but sometimes he could be utterly ridiculous. "Geez, Steve, you called me for this? Hurry up and pull him out. There's germs and bacteria in there, you know."
Steve sighed on the other end of the phone and Natasha bit her lip to avoid laughing at him.
"I already did that and I put down the lid-" At this point, Natasha interrupted her husband with a sarcastic and overly excited tone. "Oh, finally. You actually put down the lid for our son's health and safety. I'm so proud."
Static came through the line and an annoyed groan after. "Nat, be serious." She laughed. "I'm always serious. Haven't you realized that by now?"
Steve ignored her quip. He looked into the bathroom where their toddler was trying to be Hercules with the toilet lid. "James keeps trying to lift the lid up. So what do I do?"
The giggles started coming and Natasha made sure that Steve heard them over the phone. "Well, we both know he can't lift it. He's just two...but let him keep trying. It'll help his upper body strength."
Her husband sighed again. Natasha was clearly in a cheerful mood now, which was good for her. "Thanks for the help."
The redhead cheerfully replied. "Anytime, babe. Love ya."
