S: You don't know? How come you don't know????

Steve saw John helping Anne land, Steve went straight to Anne and grabbed her arms, lifting her off the ground. Steve had a certain hatred in his eyes that frightened them all. It seemed he was going to punch Anne.

Two agents tried to hold Steve, but they couldn't even move his body.

S: Where is she?

Anne didn't answer, only cried.

John: Steve, please.

More agents came to hold Steve and he grabbed Anne's neck and squeezed it tightly as he knocked down agents on the floor with the other hand. John tried to loosen Anne and Steve punched his face, leaving him unconscious right away.

S: Where is she, huh??? I will not ask again!

A: I... I don't know.

S: Yes, you do! You kidnapped her! Think again or I swear...

Steve squeezed her neck harder, making Anne choke and not even after that, Steve was merciful.

A: I... I don't remember.

S: Oh, you don't?

Hill: Anne, I'm sure you care about Lindsayyou know she is just a baby... she is going to die without her oxygen equipment.

A: I'm really sorry. I...

H: I know you're sorry, help us find her, please.

A: I wish I could help.

S: Liar!

Steve was so angry, his hand tightening around Anne's neck.

H: Let her go, Steve!

Hill put her hand on her gun.

H: Let go or I'll have to shoot you!

Steve looked at Hill's hand in the gun.

H: Don't make me do this, Rogers!

Steve was out of his mind, he grabbed Hill's neck tightly, and she kicked his belly to try to break free from him, Hill knows the techniques of hitting someone bigger than her, so she knew Steve had a weak spot near his belly, Steve felt a fine pain and dropped Hill that fell to the ground and coughed trying to recover.

Steve looked at Hill on the floor and felt remorse, he let go of Anne and walked away.

FBI agents handcuffed Steve.

- Sorry, Captain is for your own protection.

The FBI chief helped Hill get up.

- Maybe we should work with the missing baby's mother instead. The Black Widow.

H: No... it would be worse.

Hill put a hand stroked her own neck to ease the pain.

H: Steve was being merciful, Natasha was not going to be that good.

- How so?

H: Have you ever had any cases of torture in your agency?

- Countless.

H: I'm sure you have't seen anything like what Natasha can do.

S: Hill, I'm so sorry.

H: It's all right, Steve, it was not the first time you have your hands around my neck to kill me, was it?

The agents took Steve to the FBI headquarters. Hill accompanied the head of the FBi together with his team and John and Anne.

- Anne is in a state of severe shock, we won't get anything from her now.

- Maybe it's not necessary.

- What does that means?

- Remember the boat? Anne said Lindsay would be safe with her son.

- Her son is dead.

- Yes...

- Find out where her son was buried.

- Immediately, sir.

The agent left with another agent to investigate which cemetery the son of Anne was buried. As soon as they got the address, they went there, along with Maria Hill.

The FBI led a large team with sniffer dogs. Hill was accompanying the head of the FBI in search of flashlights.

Ten minutes later, they heard one of the dogs barking, all rushed toward him. As he approached the dog, Hill looked at something wrapped around a piece of cloth and then she heard baby crying.

H: IT'S HER! It's her! It's Lindsayyy!

Hill ran and grabbed Lindsay in her arms, who was crying a lot.

H: Oh my God, Lindsay...

Hill was emotional and began to sob, she hold Lindsay tight.

H: Hush, hush... Calm down, you're fine, everything is fine now. I'm going to take you to your mummy, it's okay, baby.

- Let's go to the ambulance.

Hill carried Lindsay in the arms to the ambulance, the paramedics made the first aid service.

H: Is she okay??

- Yes, with no scratches.

H: She needs oxygen.

- We've heard her lung, she's fine.

H: B-but she has a... a problem with her breathing.

- Let's put a mask of oxygen on her just in case, but don't worry, oxygenation in her blood is very good.

Hill breathed a sigh of relief, she called Natasha, then Steve, saying they found Lindsay and she was fine.

...

J: What is it, Mommy? Why are you crying?

N: They found your sister, James. Let's go to the hospital, right now.

Natasha this time took a taxi with the children to go to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at the hospital there was a crowd of people and a lot of press. Sarah held onto Natasha's blouse and James approached her as he could. Natasha was with Nick on her lap, wondering how she was going to cross that crowd, without losing any of her children.

Fortunately, Clint was arriving at the hospital too and he put Sarah on his shoulders and held James's hand, asking people to clear the way.

As soon as they entered the hospital, Natasha went to the elevator, she still was not relieved, and she had not even believed in Hill, she had to see her daughter with her own eyes.

Steve was in the hospital room with Lindsay in his arms when Natasha arrived. She handed Nick over to Hill and went straight to get her daughter.

Natasha didn't wait for Steve to deliver the baby, she took Lindsay from him and cried desperately, which startled Lindsay who also started crying.

N: Oh God! You're alive! Oh my God!!!

Natasha was shaking, Steve stroked her back, smiling and looking at Lindsay.

S: She is fine, she is okay, Nat. She's with us.

Natasha kissed Lindsay's face, and Steve kissed Natasha's forehead, which made her look at him and they ended up sharing a sweet and quick kiss on the lips.

Clint put Sarah on the floor and entered the room after James. Sarah did not want to enter the room.

C: Come on, Sarah.

Sarah shook her head.

C: What is it?

Steve looked at Sarah.

S: Sarah? What's the problem, baby?

Sarah leaned against the wall and looked frightened. Steve kissed Lindsay's forehead and went to Sarah in the hallway, he crouched and squeezed her nose lightly.

S: Aren't you glad we found your sister?

Sarah shrugged, and when she noticed Natasha approaching with her baby sister on her lap, Sarah screamed and ran away.

S: SARAH?

Steve ran after Sarah.

S: Sarah! Calm down! What are you doing??

Steve reached Sarah and grabbed her arm, making her stop.

Sarah: Daddy... I'm scared!

S: What? Scared? Of what?

Sarah: Of her!

S: Her??

Sarah: Lindsay.

S: You are afraid of your sister? She's just a baby.

Sarah nodded.

S: Why?

James watched from inside the room and he knew why Sarah was afraid of the baby, he stepped back and hid behind Hill.

Sarah: She's a zombie.

N: What?

S: Sarah, where did you take that from? She's not a zombie.

Sarah: Yes, she is! She wass dead and now she's alive, Jamie said she's a zombie and she will devour me and you, and mommy and Nick!

Natasha rolled her eyes and took a deep breath. Steve looked at the room but didn't see James.

S: James!

Steve took Sarah in his arms and as Steve walked toward Natasha, Sarah hid her face on Steve's shoulder.

S: She's not a zombie, okay? I promise, she was not dead, it was just a mistake.

Sarah: But Mommy said she was dead.

S: Yes, because we thought that. She's just a baby, look at her.

Sarah looked at the baby.

S: Are zombies like this?

Sarah shook her head.

S: See? Give her a kiss.

Sarah shook her head and still looked suspicious at the baby.

S: Natasha, Dr. Cho said we can take her home, she is impressive that Lindsay is completely health now, but she warned us to keep an eye on her.

Natasha nodded.

S: Come on, let's go home.

James was walking behind Hill, and stayed as far away as possible from his parents as he could, he only approached them when they left the hospital and he had to get in the same car and he was relieved that Steve and Natasha were so focused on the babies that forgot about him pranking on Sarah.

When they got home, Steve came in with Nick on his lap, and Natasha was still holding Lindsay. Sarah ran to her bedroom and James came right after everybody and went straight to his room.

Natasha and Steve went upstairs to the twins' bedroom and neither could get away from Lindsay for hours.

Later on the night, when the house was in a complete silence and darkness, James knocked on the door to Sarah's room and stepped inside.

J: Sarah?

James whispered, which made Sarah sito n her bed and look at James, she was almost sleeping, so she was confused.

J: It's dark already.

Sarah: What??

J: You know that when it gets dark that baby zombie Lily will devour our dad and mom, then she will eat Nick, me and finally...

Sarah frowned.

Sarah: Shut up! Daddy said she's not a zombie!

J: She is, but Daddy is pretending she's not, he's afraid someone will arrest Lily, but midnight, her teeth will grow and she will devour everybody and then you!

Sarah: She doesn't know how to walk!

J: Yes, she does! She's just pretending...

Sarah: I don't believe you!

J: Do you remember Stacy? She didn't believe either, and her parents didn't believe her, her little brother was a werewolf, and one night he devoured her parents and almost devoured her, but she managed to escape.

Sarah was listening with her heart in her hand and her eyes wide, parto f her wanted to believe on her daddy, and parto f her was believing in James.

J: We've never seen Stacy again... Our parents will not believe it, but it's true. You'll see, Lily's teeth and nails will grow at midnight, her eyes will turn white, and when you less expect it... AAAARRRRR.

James imitated a monster, and made claws with his hand. Sarah started to scream, desperate.

...

Steve almost had a heart attack with Sarah's scream, he immeaditely left his room and came downstairs.

Steve entered Sarah's bedroom and she was already crying, she ran to Steve's lap.

Steve grabbed Sarah and heard James laughing.

S: JAMES! You are grounded.

J: Huh? Why?? I didn't do nothing.

S: You're scaring your sister!

J: But dad...

S: Go to your room! Now!

J: Ugh!

James went to his room.

Sarah: Dad, we have to put Lindsay out.

S: James is scaring you, it's a lie.

Sarah: She'll devour you and Mom, I don't want to. I don't want her here.

S: Nothing will happen, princess. You should be sleeping, forget about it.

Steve tried to put Sarah on her bed, but she refused to let go of him.

S: Sarah...

Sarah: I'm scared!

Steve sighed.

S: Trust me, okay?

Sarah: Noooo. Daddy!

S: Sarah...

Sarah: Don't leave me, please.

Steve took a deep breath.

S: You can sleep with me and Mom today, okay?

Sarah: Okay.

Steve carried Sarah upstairs, he entered the twins' bedroom and Natasha was almost sleeping with Lindsay on her lap.

Sarah: Mom, she's going to fall!

Natasha opened her eyes and looked at Sarah, then at Lindsay, she held her better.

S: You're exhausted, Nat.

N: I am. You even more.

S: She is sleeping, put her in the crib and come to bed.

N: It's so difficult to let go of her.

Steve smiled and nodded.

S: I know.

Natasha kissed Lindsay's forehead and placed her in the crib. She went to Nick's crib and kissed his little hand. She walked over to Steve and looked at Sarah.

N: Well, why aren't you asleep yet?

S: She's sleeping with us tonight.

N: Why?

Sarah: Because I'm scared.

N: Oh, you scared? Of what, honey?

S: Sh... Let's get out of here to not wake the babies.

Steve left the twins bedroom and Natasha came after him.

S: James has been making up stories for her and now she's scared.

N: What story?

S: She still claims Lindsay is a zombie.

Natasha started to laugh.

S: It's not funny, Natasha.

N: Of course it is.

Steve looked at Natasha with reproach, she coughed and managed to stop laughing.

N: I'm sorry. Have you punished him?

S: Yes, he's grouded on his room.

Natasha looked at Sarah and smiled.

N: So, you're sleepig with us tonight?

Sarah: Yeah.

N: Just today, okay, miss?

Sarah nodded, Natasha entered the room and Steve followed her with Sarah.

N: I'm going to take a shower first. Do you want to join me?

Steve looked at Natasha as if she'd made the most absurd proposal he'd ever heard. Steve nodded toward Sarah.

S: Natasha...

N: I said shower, nothing more... She does not know what it means.

Sarah: What?

S: Nothing, princess.

Natasha went to the bathroom, laughing at Steve.

Steve raised Sarah in the air in the direction of the bed.

S: Princess Sarah's flight in one... two

Steve was moving Sarah front and backwards towards the bed, theratining to throw her there.

Sarah stretched her arms out and began to laugh.

S: Three... And... Gooo!

Steve threw Sarah on the bed and she started laughing and then she stand on the bed and jumped on Steve.

Sarah: Again, daddy!

S: Okay, alright, one more time...

Steve counted again and threw her on the bed again, Sarah got up, jumped on her father and asked again.

Sarah: Ah! Again!!!

S: Now it's enough... You have to sleep.

Sarah: I'm not sleepy!!! I'm not. I will never sleep again!

S: Of course you are, you're tired and it's late. We had a full day. You have to sleep.

Sarah started jumping on the bed.

Sarah: I will not sleep! I... want to play! Play with me, daddy!

Steve tried to grab Sarah to make her lay down, but she threw herself back and started running in circles on the bed.

Sarah: Ah, you don't catch me! Try againnn!

Sarah laughed.

S: Sarah!!!

Natasha left the bathroom, drying her hair on the towel and she was almost run over by Sarah who jumped out of bed and started running around the room.

Natasha looked at Steve in amazement.

N: What the fuck is that????

S: Language, Natasha!! She is all yours...

Natasha frowned lookig at Sarah with a lot of energy.

N: Why the hell is she agitated like that?

S: It happens once in a while. Good luck.

N: What? Good luck?? Where are you going???

S: Take my bath while you put her to sleep.

N: Well this is not fair. How am I supposed to do that? Using my widow's sting to know her out??

S: Hah! Very funny!

Steve took his pajamas in the clost and went to the bathroom.

Natasha frowned, seeing Sarah running around the room, she just shrugged and lay on the bed, ignoring Sarah.

Natasha covered herself and closed her eyes.

Sarah saw that Natasha did not care about her mess and went to the bed and knelt beside Natasha.

Sarah: Mommy!!! Let's play.

N: No.

Sarah frowned.

Sarah: Why not?

N: Because I don't want to.

Sarah frowned even more.

Sarah: Are you going to sleep?

N: Yes.

Sarah: Why?

N: Because I'm tired, Sarah.

Sarah: Why?

Natasha opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She looked at Sarah.

N: Sarah, lie down right now and sleep!

Sarah: I'm not sleepy!

N: Then shut up!!!

Sarah: Why???

N: God!!!

Natasha took a deep breath and lay with her belly up, praying to God that she didn't kill one of her children soon after recovering another one.

Steve got out of the shower and laughed, because he'd been go through it with Sarah before.

S: So...

Natasha and Sarah looked at Steve.

S: Everything's fine here?

N: How do you turn her off? How do you do it?

S: It's easy.

N: Really? It's easy and what are you waiting to solve this?

S: I'll be right back.

Steve went out of the bedroom and returned ten minutes later with a glass of warm and sweet milk.

Sarah: Nooooo!

S: Yes!

Sarah: Noooo!

N: What is that? Somniferous? Good idea! I can make her take this in two seconds. Hold her head.

Natasha sat on the bed.

S: Natasha!

N: What??

Steve shook his head.

S: It's not somniferous, I wouldn't drug our daughter.

Natasha shrugged.

N: Why not? She's out of control.

S: She will come down, this is juts milk with sugar.

N: Oh... should I force her to take it??

Natasha was confused.

S: That won't be necessary... Or will it be, Sarah?

Sarah frowned and Steve held the glass for her to drink. Sarah took the milk and immediately began to yawn, but she didn't calm down immediately, she lay on top of Natasha and began to tumble on top of her.

Steve turned off the lights and Sarah stopped, she grabbed Natasha's foot.

Sarah: Daddy!!!

S: We're here, Sarah, why are you scared?

Sarah: Because we will not see her coming in.

N: I hope she comes in and devours a certain someone who does not want to sleep.

Sarah looked at Natasha in shock. Steve shook his head and nodded at Natasha.

N: I'm just joking, Lindsay's just a baby, she will not come here, I closed the door, remember?

Sarah: If it's closed, she can't get in here?

N: No, how would she do that? This door is made of steel.

Sarah: Really?

N: Really, we are all safe.

Sarah concluded that it was true. Steve lay down next to Natasha.

S: Come on, Sarah, come to bed.

Sarah laid between Steve and Natasha, but she was not thinking about stopping.

Sarah: Daddy, mommy, tickle me?

Steve and Natasha: No!

Sarah: Daddy?

S: Sarah, go to sleep!

N: Okay, that's it! I'm going to sleep in the living room!

S: No way. You stay.

N: It's not fair, I'm tired!

S: She'll be like this more often.

N: How come?

S: So if she only have you around, you have to know how to deal with it.

N: What do you mean by only me around?

S: Nothing, but we never know what may happen. I want you to be prepared.

Natasha frowned a bit.

N: I don't like this conversation, Rogers and I know how to deal with this situation.

S: Oh yeah? What would you do, then?

Natasha shrugged.

N: I would just give her some drugs...

S: Are you crazy? She is a child, she can't take drugs.

N: Lettuce tea is a natural calmer, she will be passed out, but fine. I used it on missions, no one died.

Steve remained looking at Natasha, he was amazed that she was serious.

S: Natasha, anything you used on a mission, you never... pay attention to this... Never... you can use that on our children. Nor in the children of other people...

N: Oh God, Rogers, you're too boring.

S: Oh, I'm boring? I'm just trying to...

Natasha covered Steve's mouth and then put her lips to his, Steve didn't expect this kiss, and of course he didn't rejected the kiss, the two kissed for minutes, until they remembered that the room was very quiet.

Steve looked at Sarah and she was finally sleeping. Steve looked back at Natasha, he gave her a quick kiss, and they both slept.

Not for long, since the twins woke up two hours later to nurse, then to change diapers, then they wanted to talk and that was the whole night.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the twins finally went to sleep. Natasha and Steve went back to the bedroom and lay down, they both yawned and breathed a sigh of relief, finally going to bed.

Natasha lay on her side, sighed, and closed her eyes. Steve lay with his belly up, almost falling out of bed, because Sarah was already spread completely across the bed.

Steve yawned once more and closed his eyes.

Sarah: Hmmm...

Sarah mumbled.

Natasha opened her eyes.

N: No, no, no.

Natasha started to repeat as Sarah increased the mumble. Natasha wanted to cry now, because she was exhausted.

Sarah began to grumble and then to cry.

S: Why are you crying, Sarah?

Sarah opened her eyes and when she saw Steve, she stopped crying.

Sarah: I'm hungry.

S: You don't have to cry about it... Come on, let's take breakfast.

Natasha sat up and then got up, Steve looked at her with raised eyebrows.

S: Nat, I'll take care of it.

N: No, you've done enough. Come on, Sarah.

Natasha grabbed the robe and got dressed, she ran her hand through her hair, straightened it into a ponytail, and walked over to Steve's side in the bed, she bent over and gave Steve a quick kiss, but she didn't move her face away, she was still looking at him, she loves those sweet, stupid smiles he gives when he likes something she does.

S: Are you sure?

Natasha nodded, smiled, and rubbed the tip of her nose on Steve's, which caused him to kiss her lips again, but they were interrupted.

Sarah: I'm hungry!!!!

They both stopped, Natasha rolled her eyes and took one last kiss before leaving the bedroom with Sarah.

Natasha went down to the kitchen and went to prepare some cereal for Sarah. When Natasha returned to the dining room, Sarah was asleep in her chair, her head on the dinner table. Natasha wanted to throw the bowl on the wall, she heard footsteps and looked down the hall.

James opened his bedroom door and came out, yawning.

J: Good morning, Mom.

N: Good morning. Hungry?

James nodded.

N: Good, eat this.

Natasha put the bowl on the table, James sat down to eat.

Natasha heard footsteps too outside the house and frowned, she crept to the side of the door when she heard someone trying to open the door.

James filled his mouth with cereal and watched Natasha.

The door opened and Natasha almost attacked who was entering, but she was relieved to be just Laura.

L: Hi, guys!!!

Laura smiled.

L: Good morning! I already heard the news! Lily is fine and here with us, so I am very happy today.

N: Thank God you're here, Laura. I would be very, very grateful if you stayed with James and Sarah and the twins for at least one or two hours, because Sarah and the twins didn't let me and Steve sleep all night and we really need to sleep.

L: Oh, don't worry, you won't even notice we're here, right Jamie?

James nodded. Natasha smiled and went upstairs to sleep.

Laura took care of James and Sarah to eat, shower and do their homework, and she still nursed the twins when they woke up wanting some attention.

Steve and Natasha had about three hours of sleep until they heard the sound of things falling on the first floor of the house. Steve sighed and Natasha moaned, grunting. They were both getting ready to get up, but it was not necessary, Laura shouted downstairs.

L: It was just a little accident, we're all okay, go back to sleep!!!

They both breathed a sigh of relief, but they had awakened somewhat, Steve looked at Natasha beside him and lay on his side, cuddling with her body.

Steve placed his face on the back of Natasha's neck and breathed he skin to feel her scent.

Natasha put her hand over Steve's and placed it on her belly, but she was much sleepier than Steve, she didn't even open her eyes, she only opened them, when Steve moved his nose all around her neck and then to her cheeks, which caused Natasha to move her face slowly towards him to try to see Steve, but he quickly pressed his lips to hers and they both closed their eyes again.

Natasha brought her hand up to the back of Steve's neck and pulled his head toward her, causing him to explore her mouth even deeper.

Natasha can't deny anymore, she loves Steve's kiss, she loves it more than any other kisses she had with other guys, because somehow he can convey what he is feeling at the moment on the kiss, if it is love, he kisses her slowly and the way he caress her tongue for minutes, cause chills on her body. And when Steve is horny, his breath and the despair with which he moves his tongue are much more accelerated, and when he is angry or jealous, he always holds more firmly on her hair or the back of her neck, and he barely lets her breathe wanting to show that she belongs to him.

In the old days she used to pretend that he could dominate her, but over time she realized that she wasn't pretending, she actually couldn't stop the kiss if she wanted to, so it's a fact that he can dominate her too, it's not just Natasha who is irresistible, but she doesn't let him know about it.

Oh and then there is the apologetic kiss, which is not a very strong thing, but it's usually unheard of at any time and repeatedly, until Natasha gets bored and punches his face.

Okay, about that kiss ... We can say it started as a kiss of love, but they are alone and in bed, and their hot bodies leaning on each other and exchanging that heat, then... so... Obviously they went from a kiss of love to a kiss of sex, especially when Steve was already turning Natasha's body to face up and she didn't even notice.

Steve's lips moved to Natasha's neck and back to her mouth, then back to her neck and mouth... he didn't know what he wanted to kiss first, or rather what he wanted to kiss more. Steve laid on top of Natasha's body and he lifted her shirt to her breasts only and then he stopped.

It was not on purpose that he stopped, he stopped because somebody was knocking at the door and soon the door was open and someone came in.

Natasha and Steve stopped everything they were doing and stared at that person with a frown.

- Hey, guys!
