First child
Full Discovery
To say the first child of Natasha and Emmett was a surprise was an understatement.

Despite what Genevieve kept asking, they weren't planning on having a child until after they were married.

Jokes on them because a few months after they finally got engaged, Natasha was feeling sick.

She had a feeling, things were adding up but she had to check to be certain.

Stopping on the way home, she got a few tests, some chocolate and a box of tissues. She had a feeling, regardless of the results, she was going to need them.

Walking through the front door, Natasha was greeted by Genevieve, freshly eight years old, running to hug her.

"Hi my sweet girl. How was school?"

Gena, now in second grade, had her ups and downs in school. Some days, it was great, other days it was horrible. Pretty typical, if you ask Nat, but everyone had to experience it to understand.

"Well I think I did well on my math test but we had a surprise vocab quiz in English and I don't think I did good on that. Oh! Ella told me this strangest thing at lunch..."

And she just kept going. One thing that never changed was Gen's ability to ramble about nothing and everything at the same time.

Finally taking a breath, Natasha was able to convince the girl to go back into the living room, knowing she still had some homework to finish up.

Pouting, Genevieve goes despite not wanting to do her science homework. Natasha chuckles as she makes her way into the kitchen where Emmett was preparing dinner.

"Hey, how was work?" He called to her, cutting up some veggies.

She shrugged. "It was work. Nothing special."

Putting stuff away, she checks to make sure Genevieve is sufficiently distracted. "Em, I need to take some tests."

Not understanding what she means, he can only question, "what tests? Like for the jets?"

Natasha can't really answer so she opens the bag to show him the tests. His wide eyes are the only initial response.

"You're..."

She shrugged. "I don't know. I've been feeling off and this is the only thing I can think of."

They decided to wait until Gena was in bed, even if they were both incredibly distracted with the possible pregnancy.

But it was finally time to take the tests. Natasha had to force Emmett out of their bathroom, exclaiming, "I don't need you to watch me pee on a stick!"

But as soon as she took about five tests, she called him in and they set a timer.

"What are we going to do if it's positive? I know we want this but we had planned for after thr wedding, not before!" Natasha had officially started to panic.

And considering Emmett was not around when Genevieve's biological mother was pregnant, he was also panicing. But he had to keep it cool for Nat.

"Then we figure it out. It's not like we don't want this kid. And Gena's been begging for a sibling. It's just a bit off the ideal schedule, but that's pretty on brand for us."

She laughed slightly at that, because it was very true. Before she could respond, however, the timer went off.

She leaned over to look at the tests.

"We're having a baby!"

Cravings
Luckily, Natasha didn't have bad cravings.

She had sent Emmett out more times than she can count, but it's mostly been for pretzels or ice cream.

Hell, the one corner store they frequent had a stock pile of her favorites because they come in so often. The employees have bets going to see what Emmett is picking up whenever he comes in.

No super disgusting variations came in, although Genevieve wasn't the fondest of the banana and peanut butter sandwiches Natasha loved so much.

Last Month
After discovering she was, in fact, pregnant, Natasha had to inform her commanding officers.

The Navy was pretty good with their female officers and maternity positions, but Natasha couldn't fly until she gave birth.

Since she and Bob were such a good team, they had remained paired up. Although Bob had been stepping more into an instructor position for the WSO program.

So Natasha had begun some work on the instructing side, displaying and creating challenges and skills for incoming Top Gun classes.

It took her a lot more time to move around and, as much as she hated it, she needed assistance with some tasks, unable to bend over.

By the time she hit the eight month mark, she was ready to have this baby. The heartburn was insane, she couldn't sleep half the time, and she was exhausted and out of breath so easily.

Delivery
Emmet and Natasha's baby girl had decided to make a spectacular entrance into the world.

Unbeknownst to the couple, and one very unfortunate Top Gun class, she had decided to come a few days early.

Nat was assisting in some maneuvers she had helped design when she felt a sharp pain. When asked, she claimed they were Braxton Hix contractions, as she had been having them off and on for the past week.

It wasn't until about thirty minutes later that they all realized she was actively in labor.

Natasha had stood up and suddenly, the floor was wet. Her fellow instructor, luckily, was a father already, so he knew exactly what was happening.

Emmett ran into her hospital room, having dropped everything and rushing there.

"I've still got a while, don't start panicking now please."

And it did take a few more hours, and Natasha was utterly exhausted but it was so worth it.

She looked up as Emmett held their daughter in his arms. She had been around when Genevieve was little but not as a baby, so to see him holding their baby in his arms had her emotional.

He sat on the side of her hospital bed, placing her into Nat's arms. The two of them couldn't stop staring at her, with all ten of her fingers and toes.

They were enjoying the peace and quiet until she would start screaming her tiny lungs out.

And until Genevieve finally arrived.

Second Child
Full Discovery
Really, they should have expected this would happen again.

Natasha had decided to officially retire from the Navy about four years after that fateful mission. So it only stands to reason that only a few months after retired, she discovers she's pregnant again.

Unfortunately for her, there weren't any signs this time. She actually found out because of her final physical.

She had one more physical from the Navy, in which they had some blood work done.

Her doctor comes in, holding her results. "Everything looks good and the baby is doing well."

Natasha froze. "Baby?"

The doctor looked up. "You're about eight weeks pregnant. Based on you're shocked face, I'm assuming you didn't know."

Natasha shook her head. "I know no two pregnancies are the same, but I've had no signs like I did the first time."

"Well, regardless, you and the baby are in good health. I'd recommend calling your OBGYN and getting started on any prenatal vitamins you took during your last pregnancy."

Cravings
Just like the shock discovery, this child gave Nat absolutely wild cravings.

She needed pickles with everything, and I mean everything. Genevieve was absolutely disgusted with her breakfast choices, and at eleven, she voiced her complaints.

Her younger sister was only about three, so she didn't have much of an opinion, but her face said it all.

Emmett took it all in stride, although when he found out, he had gone down to the same corner store and told them to stock back up on certain foods.

(Natasha had hit him when she found out.)

Last Month
Now retired, Natasha was at home for her final month of pregnancy. Genevieve was helping out in anyway way she could, mostly keeping her sister occupied when Nat needed a break.

But since Emmett had also retired from Ninja competitions, he was home as well. The managers at the gym could handle things for a while when he needed to step out.

Delivery
The third and final child finally gave Emmett a boy.

The baby boy had decided to make a spectacle, putting his mother through an extra week of hell before coming into the world.

Genevieve was at school and their, now middle, child was at daycare.

When Emmett got the call from Natasha that she was in labor, he made his way home, checking to see how she was feeling.

They had both discussed not going to the hospital too early, considering she had waited so long the first time.

But when she expressed her desire to go, Emmett grabbed their bags and prepped the car before coming back in to assist Nat into the car.

On the way, they called Penny to see if she could watch the girls for the time being until someone else to come grab them.

It didn't take as long, thankfully, for this boy to come into the world. He came in screaming louder than his sister, but the eyes were the exact same.

When their girls were finally able to come see their new baby brother, Natasha and Emmett look at each other and smiled.

Their family was finally complete.
