Smiling Deanna Barnes opened the front door to her home. She was instantly greeted by the smiling faces of the Barton Family, the Stark Family, the Banner Family, and the Odinson/Thorson family. "Come in come in!" She cheered, opening the door wider for the large group to enter her home.

As they walked past the woman greeted Mrs Barnes with a hug, the children all smiled sweetly while the men kissed the woman's cheek. "Crystal, James!" Deanna called as everyone made their way to the back garden. The young blonde woman appeared from the kitchen with a bright smile and a tray of drinks.

James made his way down the stairs and also made his way to the back garden. "Of course the Rogers' are late." The male chuckled.

"You know what both Steve and Beth are like, making sure they've got everything." Deanna replied, kissing her husbands cheek and going to help Crystal finish up the buffet of food they had been preparing.

"How have you all been?" James asked, leaning back on one of the many many chairs in the garden. All the younger children began running around the sunny garden while the older ones went to lounge by the pool for a while.

"Good." Everyone replied almost in perfect sync.

"What's it like being a parent?" Clint asked, grabbing a cold beer from the cooler. James chuckled lightly.

"Harder than I expected."

"What did you expect?" Tony questioned.

"I don't know if I'm honest but it isn't as easy as you all make it look." James admitted.

"Excuse me!" Deanna exclaimed from her placing leading against the frame of the back door. "But who did most of the work? Who's had it harder from before they were even born?" The blonde grinned as she spoke. Everyone chuckled as Crystal brought the last of the food outside to everyone.

"Crystal!" Sofia exclaimed, standing to her feet and embracing the youngest adult. "How have you been?" The group began to talk to Crystal while Deanna made her way back to the front door, the door bell going off. Chuckling the blonde threw open the door and smiled wider at the family standing there.

"There you are!" Deanna squealed, hugging Bethany before bending down to the hight of the two children.

"Auntie De!" Erin yelled, jumping in the blondes arms. Deanna chuckled and squeezed the brunette back before holding her arms out for Chris. The blonde boy ran towards his 'aunt' and was instantly picked up and spun round.

"Sorry we're late." Steve apologised as Deanna lead them through the house and to the garden, Chris on her right hip and Erin holding her left hand. "We lost a few things."

"It's fine." Deanna replied, letting the two children attack the rest of the group out in the garden. "What's important is that your here now."

"Steve!" James exclaimed, standing to his feet. The blonde male instantly walked to greet his oldest friend, leaving the two girls by the door. Deanna and Bethany watched their family, the ones who had been with them since they began their journey as Mockingbird and Angel. The ones who their kids called Uncle and Auntie.

"So." Bethany sang. "When do I get to meet my new nephews and niece?"

"They should wake about now." Deanna replied. "Want to come a get them up with me?"

"Sure." The brunette nodded, following Deanna up the staircase and down the second floor hall way.

"They're sharing a room at the moment." Deanna explained. "Just until they get a little older." Pushing open one of the doors on the right Mrs Barnes led Mrs Rogers into a pale yellow room. On the right was two blue cots while on the left there was a single punk cot. Three toy boxes sat in different corners of the room.

"Mason and Matthew." Deanna introduced. The two woman walked over to the two blue cots and were met with two wide eyed, awake baby boys. Both of them giggled and gurgled at the two females. Gently Bethany lifted Matthew from his cot while Deanna picked up Mason and tickled his stomach.

"And this is baby Marielle." Deanna said, walking over to the pink cot. Inside the cot a small girl was still fast asleep. She was smaller than her brothers and looked completely different from them too.

"Aw." Bethany cooed softly, leaning down slightly and stroking the girls cheek with the back of her finger. "She's so much smaller than Mason and Matthew."

"I know." Deanna sighed as she led Bethany back out of the room, leaving Marielle to sleep and taking the two boys with them. "She's the youngest. We were told one of them would be significantly smaller since there is only so much room to grow. It's a squeeze for two let alone three or more."

"Is she okay tho?" The brunette asked quickly. "Health wise?"

"She's fine, just gets a little tired than her brothers because she's smaller and takes her longer to do things." Deanna assured her friend as they walked outside.

"Well good afternoon." James said, taking Mason away from Deanna. "Marielle still asleep?" He asked.

"Yeah." Deanna sighed as Beth took Matthew to the group and Steve took Mason off James so he could meet his new nephew. "Shes going to be a deep sleeper like her Father."

"I am not a deep sleeper!" James argued.

"You are when you aren't on a mission." Deanna replied as she wrapped her arms around her husbands waist. "But don't worry I'm still a light sleeper, so no one will rob us."

"A woman doing a mans job?" James chuckled.

"If woman don't do it then it won't get done!" Natasha yelled. "You men are crap!"

"And you're meant to be the worlds mightiest heroes!" Crystal agreed.
