I awoke the following morning with warm arms wrapped around me. I sighed in content, after 6 weeks without him, I craved the feeling of being able to wake up next to him. The feeling of his warm body next to mine, as he held me through the night. I felt lips trail across my bare shoulder, and plant a light kiss on my neck.

"Are you awake, (Y/N)?" Pietro asked quietly, his voice muffled once he nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck. I sighed in content, wrapping my arms around his, that were still holding me tightly against his body. "Good morning, love." He whispered in my ear, leaving behind a small kiss.

"Good morning." I whispered. I slowly rolled over and burried my head into the crook of his neck.

"How are you feeling? Do you need anything? Are you hungry? Tell me what you need." He told me softly after kissing the top of my head.

I tightened my arms around him, nuzzling my face into his neck. "Just hold me, please. Can we just stay in bed a little longer? I haven't been sleeping well." I told him, a small yawn following my sentence.

"Why not, Printesa? Are you uncomfortable, in pain?" He asked slightly pulling away from me to see my face. He looked into my (y/e/c) eyes, and lightly stroked my cheek with his thumb.

"I don't sleep well without you here, and I've been waking up in the middle of the night burning up or feeling sick." I stated, while giving his palm that was still caressing my face, a small kiss.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'll make sure you'll never have to go that long without me next to you at night again. And I'll be here when you wake up feeling ill, okay?" He promised me, wrapping his arms back around me and pulling me back into his chest. I proceeded to bury my head into his chest, and breathe in his comforting scent... that was well, the only way to describe it was, him.

"We should probably try and talk about all the baby stuff, right? We need to figure all this out an-" I cut myself off with a small yawn.

"Don't worry about all of that. Right now. I told you to let my worry, yes? So let me worry."

"You shouldn't have to worry alone, Pietr-"

"No, I need you to relax, okay. You don't need the stress. You look exhausted, baby. Just go back to sleep. And we can talk about anything you want to talk about when you're rested, okay?" He told me, soothing my nerves. His words instantly caused me to relax into him and close my eyes. "FRIDAY, make sure we're not disturbed. Tell them whatever you need to. And if Steve or Clint insists, tell them I said to, what do you say, "fuck off"?"

I let out a tired chuckle, tightening my arms around him. "I love you."

"I love you too. I'll wake you up in a few hours so you can eat." He said, leaving a kiss on the top of my head, while he ran his fingers through my hair, causing me to drift off to sleep.
