Chapter 53

Steve woke up with a naked Natasha on his chest. He had to smile when he thought about last night and the things they did. They couldn't get enough of each other and made love until the early hours of the morning.

He was relieved that Shostaskov was dead and couldn't come for Natasha anymore. There had been no doubt on his mind that he would have tried to take her away and force her to be with him. He was so furious that the Red Room had wanted her to be the Red Guardian's wife and offered her to him like some price. Like some object and not a person with her own will.

Natasha began to stir and moved her head to the crook of his neck and kissed him there. "Morning, honey." She mumbled against his skin.

He pressed his lips to the top of her head. "Good morning, doll."

He could feel her smile, he knew that she loved that nickname. She moved her head up and blinked at him sleepily. It should be forbidden for one person to be so cute and sexy at the same time. She brushed her lips against his and stroked his cheek gently with her thumb. She could kill with her hands, she had killed with those hands yesterday but for him she had only gentle touches. He shivered at the thought that he was the only one who got to see the Black Widow like this. It made him love her even more, if that was even possible.

They lazily made out for some time and he felt her wetness on his stomach. He pulled away from the kiss and Natasha traced his lips with her fingers. He grabbed her thighs. "Come up here." He wanted to taste her. He loved to pleasure her with his mouth.

She smiled at him with wanton in her eyes and let him lift her up and lower her down on his face. He saw her grab the headboard when he licked over her folds. He licked, thrust and sucked and she rewarded him with soft moans and little gasps that he loved so much. He didn't know how many times he got her over the edge because he got so lost in her and only stopped when she tapped his hand on her thigh.

"Too much." She breathed out and plopped down next to him.

She looked at the ceiling breathing heavily and smiling. "I don't think there is a guy in the world who enjoys eating out a girl as much as you do."

He knew he was blushing but he still managed to grin at her. "I didn't hear you complaining when I had my head between your thighs."

"Never!" She laughed and rolled onto her stomach and lifted her hips in the air.

"Like this!" She ordered husikly and it was like he got even harder at her demand. He kneeled behind her and grabbed her hips to ease into her warmth. He wanted to push into her slowly but Nat pushed back until he was completely in her. He bit his lips at the feeling of being inside her. It didn't matter that they must have had sex like a thousand times, it still felt so fucking good every single time. He thrust into her slowly and leaned over her to kiss her neck and suck on her earlope. She took his hand that he put next to her head and interwined their fingers.

"Help me up." She moaned and he sat back up on his knees and pulled her up with him. Her head rolled on his shoulder and they both moved in sync.

"Nothing will ever feel as good as this." He grunted into her ear when she clenched her walls around him.

"Mhm." She moaned against his lips and gave him a wet and sloppy kiss. He moved their still interwined hands between her legs to tease her. "You're so good to me, Steve. I love how you feel inside me. So fucking perfect." He snapped his hips hard up into her and she screamed his name. "Yes, just like that. God, don't stop. Keep going, Captain!" She growled into his mouth and kissed him while he thrust harder into her. He pressed his hand down on her clit and she was gone taking him with her.

They were both sweaty and out of breath when they came down from their high. They kept kissing while he grew soft inside of her and eventually slipped out. Natasha got up from his lap and he admired her backside while she got out of bed.

"We are so going on that vacation when this is all over so we can make love all day." She said arching her back.

Yeah that sounded like a great idea. Maybe the best idea anyone has ever had. "Tell me when and where, doll."

She smirked and he followed her into the bathroom to take a shower. They really needed one after all the fun they had last night and this morning. Natasha was washing his body with a luffa sponge when she suddenly went to her knees with a wicked grin on her lips. "Gotta return the favour, babe." His mind went blank the moment her lips wrapped around him.

They met with the others on the common floor for breakfast. Tony announced that he had to go to his alma mater tomorrow to receive an award but promised to return immediately to the Tower if they needed him for a mission.

"You think Malick's working on his next move?" Rhodey asked between sips.

Natasha filled her bowl with oats. "Probably. He's one Winter Soldier down. He needs to change his plans." She dropped some raspberries on top of her oats before adding almond milk. "Tony, did FRIDAY find anything on Malick's computers?"

"She found some money transactions to London." Tony answered. "Could have been for Baskhi who lives there but I didn't find the connection yet. Oh and Coulson's agents brought down two HYDRA cells in the last days."

That was good. More people could cover more ground and HYDRA had less chances to act against it. "Does Malick already realize that we got the list?"

Natasha grabbed the Nutella to dig her spoon in. No matter how healthy her breakfast was, she always ate a few spoons of Nutella with it. To balance it out as she had explained to him. "Definitely. He might think that Ward sold it to us. I don't think he knows that Ward's dead."

"Why don't you just skip the oats and eat the Nutella on bread like us normal people?" Sam asked.

Nat licked it of her spoon and grinned. "It has less calories that way. Bread makes you fat." She winked and digged her spoon back into the glass.

Sam rolled his eyes and took a huge bite out of his toast. "I have no idea what you mean."

In that moment Bucky walked into the dinning room with Sharon by his side. He pulled the chair out of her and sat down next to her at the dinning table. He didn't think much about that gesture because he'd seen Bucky pull out a chair for lots of women including Natasha and Wanda until he saw Nat smirking behind her latte. Did he miss something?

"Aren't you supposed to watch him and not hang out with him, Sharon?" Sam asked annoyed. He and Bucky still pushed each other's button constantly but Steve came to realize that this was their thing now.

Sharon slighly blushed and Bucky rolled his eyes at him. "Don't worry, birdbrain. I still got time for you!"

Sam huffed. "Oh please as if I want to spend time with you. The less I have to see your ugly face the better!"

Natasha put her latte down and smiled at Sam and Bucky sweetly. "So, when are you two are gonna do something about all that sexual tension?"

Tony and Rhodey laughed and Sharon tried to hide her grin behind her cup of coffee. Sam and Bucky both looked at each other and then shook themselves in disgust.

"And if he was the last person on earth, no thank you!" Sam said and Bucky seemed to agree.

Tony got up. "Okay, kids. As entertaining breakfast was I have to get ready for a business lunch."

"Since when do you get ready for anything?" Rhodey wanted to know.

Steve was a bit confused himself. Tony's motto was mostly to just wing it which drove Steve insane from time to time. He liked to be prepared.

"Since now!" Tony snapped and left.

"Okay what was that?"

Steve looked over to Nat who rolled her eyes at them. "He has a business lunch. Emphasis on business! Now I wonder who he could have that lunch with..."

"Oh!"

"Yep." Natasha plopped the p when she answered Rhodey. Of course, Tony had a meeting with Pepper and was probably nervous about it. They were still broken up but he knew that Tony wanted her back.

After breakfast Bucky had to go with Sharon to answer some questions that the CIA had for him. The interview would be in the Tower but would be streamed to Everett Ross and no Avenger was cleared to watch it. Since they had no more leads at the moment where the other four Winter Soliders could be and SHIELD was dealing with the HYDRA cells, there wasn't much to do.

Sam and Rhodey left the Tower to go to a VA and Steve was thinking about what he and Nat could do. Maybe take a walk through Central Park or maybe she would let him draw her. He used the time while Natasha was talking to Secretary Ross to come up with a romantic idea on how they could spend the rare free day. He still had lots of making up to do for leaving her in the middle of the night three weeks ago.

He was on his computer ordering tickets for the ballet when Natasha came back to their floor. She was still talking on the phone but he didn't think to Ross. He highly doubted she would call the Secretary of State "sweetie".

"I'm sorry, sweetie!" She sighed into the phone and plopped down beside him on the couch. He quickly shut his laptop so she wouldn't see the tickets, he wanted to surprise her. "I can't really leave at the moment." She paused to listen to the other person. Who was she talking to? "Another time, pumpkin. Okay?" Natasha bit her lip and looked guilty. Who was on the phone? "I try. Be good to your mommy. Bye, sweetie!" She ended the call and leaned against the couch. He figured she had been talking to either Cooper or Lila.

"I just disappointed a seven year old girl." Nat sighed. "Not really the greatest feeling in the world."

He took her phone out of her hand and put it on the coffee table. "Why? What did she want?"

"She said that I hadn't been visiting her in ages and that I should come to her. She has a new bunny she needs to show me." She smiled. "She said she misses me and doesn't even know anymore how I look like." Her smile disappeared. "Do you think that's actually possible? That she could forget me? She's still so young!"

He opened his laptop and cancelled his ticket order. He knew what they could do today and hopefully they would get to add another day. He got up and pulled her by her hand to the bedroom.

"Now? I'm not really in the mood, Steve."

He turned around to look at her and rolled his eyes. "Pack your bags!"

"What?" She looked at him with confusion.

He led her to the closet and pulled a suit case out. "We're taking a quinjet to visit Clint and his family."

She beamed at him but then her smile dropped. "We can't just leave. Not now when..."

He shook his head. "There is nothing we can do right now and if anything comes up, we're back in Manhattan in 90 minutes." He walked over to her and gave her a kiss. "You deserve a break, Nat."

She seemed to think about what he said and then nodded. "Okay." She laughed and kissed him once more before starting to pack her suit case.

Cooper and Lila came running towards the jet when Natasha landed the plane. The others had no problem with him and Nat leaving for the weekend and promised to call if they needed their help.

Steve was a bit nervous, the only time he had met Laura and the kids was when Ultron happened but now they would actually get to know him. They were Natasha's family and he wanted them to like him. They had to like him because he wanted to be with Natasha until the very end. There was no one else for him.

Natasha kissed his cheek before she got out of the plane and ran towards the kids. She lifted Lila up and twirled her around and then hugged Cooper. He let them greet each other before he walked down the ramp of the jet.

"Hello, Captain Rogers." Cooper said shyly and held his hand out.

"Please call me Steve." He shook the boy's hand and he smiled at him. He looked up from Cooper and saw Clint and Laura arm in arm standing on the porch watching the scene before them.

Lila didn't pay any attention to Steve and dragged Natasha by her hand to what looked like stables. "Toffee is sooo cute, Auntie Nat! He's still a little baby!"

Cooper told him that Lila wasn't allowed to go into the stables without him and ran after his sister and aunt. He got Nat's suitcase and his duffelbag out of the quinjet and walked to the house where Laura greeted him with a warm hug and Clint with a firm handshake. Nat had told him that Clint didn't know that things had been rocky between them but Clint wasn't dumb. He probably had a shovel talk coming and he definitely deserved it.

Laura showed him their room which was the same one he had shared with Nat during the whole Ultron thing.

"I'm so glad that we finally get to spend time with you, Steve." Laura said over selfmade iced tea. Nat was still outside with the kids and Clint joined them to say hello to her.

"Me too. I know how much you all mean to Nat."

Laura nodded. "And she means a lot to us. She's family. And I hope you know how special she is." Laura grabbed his hand. "How special it is that she gave you her heart. Don't take that for granted."

He recognized a threat when he got one. It was scarier when it came from such a warm and kind person as Laura. "I'll do whatever it takes to make her happy and to keep her safe."

She eyed him carefully and released her grip on his hand.

Natasha, Clint and the kids came back and Nat greeted Laura with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. They all sat down at the dinning table. "I think now is the right time to tell her." Laura smiled warmly at Clint and laced their hands together.

"Tell me what?" Natasha seemed clueless and he was pretty curious himself what they wanted to tell her.

Laura placed her other hand on her stomach. "I'm pregnant. 13 weeks. And if it's a girl we are gonna name her Natasha."

Nat's eyes widended and she gasped. "What?" She got up and hugged Laura and then Clint. "Oh my God! Congratulations! And wow! I don't know what to say!"

Clint laughed. "Just say thank you, Tasha!"

They played with Cooper and Lila outside all afternoon while Laura and Clint prepared a barbecue. The food was amazing and he really enjoyed that he got to spend time with Nat's family. And it warmed his heart how happy she looked while they were sitting outside eating ribs and the kids told stories about their school.

After dinner and when the sun had set he walked with Natasha through the forest that surrounded Clint's farm to a glade where fireflies were supposed to be. Laura said it was very romantic with a wink. And she was right. It looked like thousands of lights were in the air lighting up the field. They stopped in front of the glade and he wrapped his arms around Nat from behind and rested his chin on top of her head. She hummed a melody he didn't recognize and swayed with him to it.

He had enjoyed today immensely. He was so happy for her that she got to spend time with her family and so proud that the baby would be named after Natasha. He knew how excited she was about that.

God, he loved her so much. He wished someone would have told him before he crashed the Valkyrie into the ice that everything would be okay, that he would have to sleep for the next seventy years because his soulmate wasn't born yet. He didn't know if he believed in destiny but he did know that he was meant to be with her. Her hums turned into words and she sang a Russian song he didn't completely understand but it didn't matter. Her voice sounded so beautiful. She was so beautiful, her heart and soul were beautiful. He wanted to be with her for the rest of their lifes, standing on fields and watching fireflies.

"Marry me." He blurted out and Natasha stopped singing.

She turned around in his arms to face him. "What?"

She looked at him with wide eyes. God, he was doing it all wrong. He didn't even have a ring! Or prepared a speech! He didn't even asked her on his knees! This was why he liked to prepare things!

"Do you mean that or did you just say that in the spur of the moment?" She asked and searched his eyes for something.

He got on one knee and took one hand between his. "I love you. I think I love you since you jumped off my shield three years ago. I will always love you, Natasha. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the first and last woman I will ever love." He took a deep breath. "Will you marry me, Natalia Alianovna Romanova?"

She sank to her knees and kissed him. "Yes!"

"Yeah?" He couldn't really believe his luck! She was going to be his wife! He was going to be her husband!

"Yes, you dork!" She laughed and kissed him again.

"I swear I get you a ring!" He promised between kisses.

She laughed again. "That's fine. That's not what's important." She looped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. "I love you, Steve."

"That was kinda implied when you said yes." He grinned at her and pecked her lips.

She started to unbotton his shirt. "You think the fireflies would mind if you would make love to your fiancée now?"

Fiancée. That word made his heart flutter in his chest. She was his fiancée and one day she would be his wife. He slid his hands under her sweater and she sighed. "I think the fireflies are expecting me to make love to my fiancée."
