Thanksgiving meal with the Avengers.

"Tell me again why we agreed to host everyone here?" Natasha said, setting the table up.

Steve grinned and wrapped his arms around Natasha's waist, kissing her shoulder, "Because it's Thanksgiving and we have the most space."

Natasha sighed, "That's bullshit. Clint has like thirty acres of land and so does Tony."

"Okay, we have the most indoor space." Steve said, sticking his finger into the batter Natasha was mixing.

Natasha slapped his hand down and glared at Steve, "Alright, get out of my kitchen. You're distracting me."

Steve grinned, "Is that a bad thing?"

Natasha turned around and put her hand on Steve's chest, pushing him backwards, "Yes. Because we have company coming in less then an hour and if there's no food on the table when they get here, you get to explain why."

Steve smirked, "Fine by me."

"Too bad." Natasha said with a grin, pushing him all the way out of the kitchen.

Steve frowned and leaned against the doorframe, watching as Natasha resumed her cooking.

She caught his gaze and rolled her eyes, "How bout you make yourself useful and set the table."

She grabbed a stack of plates and utensils and pushed them into Steve's hands.

"Go." She said, giving him another push towards the dining room.

Steve sighed but did as she said, going into the dining room and setting all twenty something placemats.

When he was finished, he walked back into the kitchen and stood by Natasha again, "Done."

Natasha smiled, "Thank you."

"How's dinner coming along?" He asked, putting his head on her shoulder.

"Almost ready. Can you pull the Mac an cheese out of the oven for me?"

Steve nodded and did so. They put all the finished food on the counter and Natasha moved back, scanning over the food to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

Steve smiled at her, "It looks great."

Natasha shrugged and turned around to face him, "Let's just hope it taste alright."

Steve kissed Natasha and nodded, "It'll be great."

"Get a room." Tony yelled, entering the room with Pepper and Morgan.

Natasha pulled away a bit and faced Tony, rolling her eyes.

"We brought apple pie." Pepper said, ignoring her husband and greeting Steve and Natasha.

"And juice pops!" Morgan yelled, running up to them.

Pepper sighed, "Yes, and juice pops. Morgan insisted we bring them."

Natasha smiled and bent down to the little girls height, "I think that was a great idea. Everyone likes juice pops."

Morgan smiled and wrapped her arms around Natasha's neck as Natasha lifted her up, "I told you Auntie Nat would agree."

Natasha laughed as Pepper sighed and shook her head. There was another knock on the door and this time Peter came in with an armful of casseroles.

"Hey everyone...Aunt May sent me with a bunch of food, said it was rude to show up to a Thanksgiving without bringing something. Where should I put this?"

Steve smiled and motioned to the counter, where the pile of food was growing significantly.

In the next few minutes, Clint and his family, Thor, Rhodey, Bruce, Sam, Bucky, and Wanda all arrived.

The amount of food had nearly tripled and people were definitely starting to get hungry.

Everyone got their food and sat around the table, digging into the feast.

Everyone was chatting over one another, Tony being the loudest followed by Thor, who was very impressed with Thanksgiving.

"This holiday is wonderful! We don't have anything like it back on Asgaurd.  How did it come to be?" He asked...more like yelled.

Everyone paused, not knowing how to explain the orgins of the holiday.

Luckily, Sam inturrupted with another sarcastic comment, "Who cares, we get to eat good food all day."

Thor agreed and went back to eating a giant turkey leg, Natasha smirked and looked up at Sam, "Is that your way of complimenting my cooking?"

Sam frowned, "I was talking about Bruce's cornbread."

Natasha glared at Sam. Steve gently grabbed her hand before she could throw something at him and cleared his throat, "The food is great Nat. All of it is."

Pepper nodded, "Yes, thank you again for hosting. Everything is wonderful."

Clint smirked and decided to bug Natasha a little more, "Eh, the turkey is a little dry."

Laura smacked her husband's arm, "Clint!"

Clint winced, "Ow! I was only joking. It was all good."

Lila, who was sitting next to Natasha looked up at her and smiled, "Dad's just jealous because you're a better cook then he is."

Everyone laughed, except Clint, and they finished eating.

Pepper and Laura insisted on doing the dishes while the rest of the group went into the living room.

"We should play a game." Tony suggested, putting Morgan on his shoulders.

"Like what?" Bruce asked.

Morgan grinned, "Team hide and seek!"

Everyone smiled and agreed...who could say no to her?

"Alright, what are the teams?" Steve asked.

Pepper and Laura had now finished the dishes so everyone was ready.

"We do four teams of three and one team of four." Tony suggested.

"I want to be with Auntie Nat and Uncle Steve!" Lila yelled.

"Me too!" Morgan said, jumping in Steve's lap.

Pepper laughed, "There's our team of four."

Everyone else divided up into teams of three.

Peter, Pepper, and Tony got together; Thor, Bruce, and Rhodey; Wanda, Sam and Bucky; and Clint with his two sons.

Laura had decided to sit the game out.

Thor's team got stuck counting first so everyone else ran off trying to find a spot to hide.

Natasha held Steve's hand tightly in one hand while Lila pulled her other one in every direction, following Morgan who insisted she had the best hiding spot.

She stopped outside Tony's lab and opened the door next to it, which was just a large unused closet.

They would all be able to fit but it would be tight. Steve sat down first, with Natasha practically on top of his lap, and then the two girls stood in each corner, giggling every few seconds.

"Shhh." Natasha teased.

They had been sitting quietly for a while when they heard a scurrying from above them.

"Oh my god." Natasha mumbled.

Steve frowned, "What?"

"Clint's in the fucking vents." She whispered.

"Language!" All three of her teammates whispered.

Natasha rolled her eyes, "Sorry."

They sat quietly for a while longer until they heard Thor's yelling.

"Surely they are here somewhere! I swore I heard the little Stark laughing!" He yelled.

Morgan giggled again and Lila put her finger over her lips, "Shhh!"

"Thor did you check the closet?" Rhodey asked, sounding completely uninterested.

Thor swung the closet door open and looked down at them triumphantly, "Aha!"

"Aw man!" Lila pouted.

The two girls filtered out of the closet while Steve and Natasha struggled to untangle themselves.

"Clint's in the vents," Natasha said, climbing out.

Thor grinned and ran down the hallway.

They eventually helped him find everyone and played a few more rounds before everyone went home, leaving Natasha alone with Steve.

"That was exhausting." Natasha admitted with a small laugh as she laid down besides him in their bed.

Steve laughed, "Everything went well though."

Natasha nodded and then grinned, "Except Thor getting stuck in the vent."

"True. But that was the only issue we had all night. Which is a miracle with this lot." Steve said, resting his hand on Natasha's hip.

Natasha hummed in response and ran her fingers through Steve's hair, "I guess it was a pretty good night."

"It was. Definitely my best Thanksgiving."

Natasha nodded in agreement, "For the first time in a long time, I've got a lot of things to be thankful for."

Steve smiled, "Yeah? Like what?"

"You, all the kids, the team...not to mention the fact that we haven't had to fight any aliens in a while."

Steve laughed, "Yeah I'm pretty thankful for that too, but I would fight aliens every day if it meant getting to fall asleep next to you. That's what I'm most thankful for."

Natasha rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the smile spreading over her lips, "You're such a flirt."

Steve grinned, "Only with you."

Natasha smiled and gently kissed Steve, "Goodnight Steve, Happy Thanksgiving."

Steve kissed Natasha's forehead and sighed in contentment, "Happy Thanksgiving Nat."
