TRANSLATIONS AT THE BOTTOM HUMANS

The More nonsense isn't just imagined.

MARCH 20th, 2007

Sasha was perfect, that's what the doctors said. She was saying basic words like 'hi,' 'bye,' 'mama,' 'mommy,' 'birthday' and a bit more. She wasn't a quiet child by any means, both a blessing and a curse for her moms. Any word she heard she'd do her best to repeat, and Maria was teaching her how to count to ten. But something was yet to happen, and in the thirteenth month of her essence on Earth her mothers were starting to worry.

Of course they knew that everyone starts walking at different ages, hell, Natasha knew babies who got beat up at the Red Room for not walking at fifteen months! Not that she'd ever do that to her daughter, she knew that well as Maria. But she was still so scared of herself. What if she screws it up? She'd only just joined SHIELD a few years back with unhealed trauma and self-sabotaging behavior. And what if Maria found out the truth of why she started talking to her in the first place... that everything she'd built was partially started on a lie. But we're not talking about that right now.

One lovely day in the upstairs of the couples' hidden sweet it happened. Maria was playing with her daughter and letting her stand up and sit down over and over. Sasha's smile was present, though she kept looking around for her Mama as if she knew that she should be present. Natasha unfortunately was working, she wouldn't be back until the end of the week, Friday. Today being a Tuesday was not helping anyones case.

Maria was holding Sasha's hands and letting her step forward and back. She was using her mother for support... but then she let go. Maria scooted away to let her daughter walk on her own and to her amazement she did. She fell maybe half a minute later but she walked! Her daughter... her beautiful, gorgeous, redheaded lovable daughter walked! And that was only the first time!

Oh wait 'til Natasha sees this!!

MARCH 23rd, 2007

"Babe! I'm back!" Natasha calls out after making sure the door of the flat was closed. She can't see Maria anywhere but she can hear joyous giggling coming from Sasha's room. Before she can make time to set her bag down and limp to the door it opens and out comes Sasha toddling over to hug her Mama.

"Wha- no way- she didn't-!" Natasha groans, cheekily smiling. 

Sasha's soft laugh rings in her Mama's ears as Nat picks her up, hugging her. "Mama! Mama! Walk! Talk! Mama! Hi! Bye! Mama! Mommy! Milk!" 

"Wow! Thats a lot of words, детка! But you know what else! How dare you start walking without me! That's no fair!"

Maria watches as her girlfriend squeezes Sasha's sides and gets her to giggle once more. Wow... to believe this is real, and it's her life... But then she notices the small pain in Nat's eyes when Sasha grabs onto her shoulder. Oh will she be hearing about this! She needs to be more careful on missions!

APRIL 4th, 2007

Today was Maria's birthday, and what better way to be woken up than having your little one year old poking your face?

Natasha had risen out of bed fairly early in preparation to surprise her girlfriend on her twenty-fifth year of being alive. Yes, she put it that way, not me.

She wasn't that hungry so decided to just brew some coffee for her and Maria while also burning bread. Maybe she'll just take out the ingredients for pancakes and make them with her girlfriend and Sasha. Yes, that's a better idea.

"Pancakes!" Sasha giggles softly. "Birthday!"

"Yes, детка, it's Mommy's birthday," Natasha says, smiling down at her daughter in her highchair.

Sasha's face starts turning a slightly darker shade. "No!" 

"What do you mean, no?" Nat replies as she sets the pancake batter down on the counter.

"Birthday!" Sasha screams, slamming her tiny fist on the tray in front of her.

She offers a small smile as her ever growing confusion arises. "Yes, darling. Maria's birthday." 

"No! Birthday!" She takes her chubby hand and brings it to her chest.

Everything falls into place in Natasha's mind.

"Oh, baby. Birthdays are only once a year and everyone has one! Today is Mommy's and next month is your Aunt Laura's and cousin Lila's! And then in June it's Clint and July Grandpa Fury's! Cooper's birthday is August and I'm in December! Don't worry though! You'll have another one!"

But that wasn't enough for the little one, even after Natasha stating all the people in her life having birthdays coming up, she wanted her birthday now!

But let's change the pace of today to said 'Mommy.' It's Maria's birthday today, and instead of a poke-in-the-face wake up, she started her day with crying at 8am. Not her's, thank god, but her lovely 14month old. It wasn't ideal, but at least it reminded her she had two gorgeous girls waiting for her. Right?

She begrudgingly climbed up the stairs to inform her lover she was awake. Natasha took one look at Maria before putting her hands on her hips and cocking her head. Her long, curly red hair flowed to the side as she frowned at Sasha.

"Oh now look what you've done! You've woken up Mommy!" Her small pout faded as she looked up at the mess of morning face Maria. "Sorry, babe. She thought it was her birthday." 

When Maria gives her a little smirk as she trails her way towards Natasha, only then does her groan appear. Nat's face turns red as a rose as their noses touch, trying to hide the way Maria makes her feel. Only then does Maria pull away.

"What! No fair! I pulled out the stuff to make pancakes!" Nat whines, looking back at Sasha accusingly.

"And you didn't think to make them yourself?" 

"I love you, but I'm not risking our relationship on me trying to cook."

Maria pushes Natasha back and laughs. "Fair. Still, you're gonna pay!"

Then Sasha's laugh comes in and everyone (by everyone I mean two people) pauses to look at her. "Oh shush it, Sashy Mashy!" Natasha laughs.

MAY 11th, 2007

Laura Barton's birthday was May fifth and Lila's was the eighteenth. So until Lila's a bit older the Bartons have no excuses NOT to have a combined birthday party. 

Lila luckily doesn't care about who she celebrates with, just that she has cake and presents. Just like Sasha, she's talkative and bossy. Unlike Sasha... it's actually her birthday.

"Birthday! Birthday!" Sasha starts cheering on the drive to the airport.

"Yes, детка, Laura and Lila's birthdays!" Natasha laughs, knowing the reply.

"NO! My birthday!"

Maria, a prompt person, made sure that everyone was out and ready to leave by 7am. The flight leaves at 10am and it's Sasha's first time on a plane. Maybe if she started traveling younger she'd be more accustomed to flight, but the mother duo was pretty sure she would pass out from liftoff.

She didn't. And I'm pretty sure no one else on that flight got any sleep either.

Around 4pm the two girlfriends and their daughter arrived at the Barton Farm. By that time Natasha was fast asleep in the passenger seat while Maria sung quietly to 'Waka Waka.' Sasha was semi-paying attention whilst still refusing Maria's idea of going to bed. She was only half aware of her surroundings at this point but anytime Maria even slightly suggested trying to rest she screamed in protest. So her Mommy just left it to fate if Sasha would actually rest her eyes.

When they finally arrived Maria opened the passenger door and rubbed Nat's arm to wake her up while holding a finally sleepy Sasha in her arms. Not asleep, but close enough.

"Hey, babe, time to wake up. We're here."

"Huh." Groggily Natasha's eyes opened and she gave a loopy smile. "Oh, hey, пупсик."

"Well that's a new one," Maria laughed.

That seemed to wake Natasha up more as she gave her a small laugh and got out of the car, sort of using Maria as support before actually walking to the front door.

"Next time we're getting a later flight!" She called back to her lover.

⧗ⴵ🦅🛡

"SASHA!" Maria called out as she paced around the Barton kitchen. 

Soon enough two guilty toddlers come into the room with semi-fearful semi-humorous expressions on their faces.

"Yes, Auntie Ria?" Sasha says, frowning innocently.

Oh that sly little baby. Sasha can't get away with this! "I'm your Mommy, baby, not Auntie."

"But Lila-" Sasha started, looking at her cousin.

"I'm Lila's auntie and I'm your mommy. I'm more than one!" She offered a small smile before looking back at the empty container of ice cream.

"Now who let you and Lila eat all that ice cream?" She groaned. She'd made a pit stop on the way back to get some Ben and Jerry's for tomorrow. One problem- that ice cream is now gone. Yes, she was planning to eat some before the party, but now even her enjoyment was forever in the abyss.

"No tell!" Sasha smirked, crossing her arms.

One look at Lila and the secret was out. Maybe Sasha was immune to Maria's intense interrogation stare, but not Ria's niece.

"Daddy 'et us ice cream..." Lila sighed, looking down.

Maria gave one last frown to the empty ice cream container that Clint just so happily kept in the freezer after it was finished before letting the children on their way. No way was she going back out to buy more ice cream, if Laura and Lila want that at their party, Clint's going out and buying it.

MAY 12th, 2007

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Laura and Lila! Happy birthday to you!"

"NO! MY BIRTHDAY!"

<3

My parents decided to leave me with the dog and he kept annoying me while I was writing. He's lucky he's cute because his head on my laptop is not ideal =D
