Longer chapter! Get ready for it!

It was the following day and Natasha was still snuggled up in her bed, Bruce right beside her. The two decided to treat themselves by sleeping in before they would have to get up and go with the stark family to their new house. It was a very incredible gift the couple have given to Natasha and Bruce, but at the same time the newly weds didn't feel like they deserved it. Bruce was the first to wake up, looking around to see Natasha was still asleep. He smiles a little as he moves to get up, trying his best not to disturb her. He quickly hopped into the shower to start off his morning routine. Natasha later found herself alone in the bed as she started to wake up. She looks around as she yawns. "God I haven't slept that long in ages..." she mutters to herself as she debates on if she should get out of bed yet. She hears the shout go the shower running and figured Bruce has been awake long before her. She carefully out of the bed and did a few stretches like normal. When she finished Bruce was still in the shower. She just shakes her head and goes to get her shower stuff too. "Is there room for one more?" She questions as she walks into the bathroom.

"Of course." Bruce chuckles. "The water's still nice warm."

"Perfect." She hangs up her towel before stripping down and joining him in the shower. "I was going to wait but I remembered we have to see the house today."

Bruce smiles as he kisses the top of her head. "It's okay, I needed a shower buddy anyways." He hugs her close. Natasha hugs him back.

"You should clean my hair, it's too much work." Natasha grins. "I'll clean yours if you want."

Bruce shakes his head. "It's okay, I already did." He grabs for her bottle of shampoo, he opened it and poured out a decent amount on his hand before gently massaging it into her hair, leaving small kisses on her forehead every so often. Natasha sighs happily, allowing herself to enjoy this piece and quiet. That's until she felt something squeeze her behind. "Hey." She glares at Bruce.

Bruce snickers, "what? Okay okay, it was just that one time alright? I couldn't resist it."

"Oh I know." Natasha rolls her eyes with a soft grin, she moves to give his a gentle squeeze. "I couldn't resist it either." She teases.

Bruce just chuckles as he continued to wash her hair. Once it was finished he moved to kiss her gently on the lips. Natasha kisses him back just as gently, holding him as close as her little bump would allow. After a few moments of gentle kisses and soft cuddles, the water started to get cold. "I guess it's time to get out." Bruce looks at Natasha. He turns off the water and steps out so he can grab her towel. Natasha takes it as she steps out, drying herself off before heading out of the bathroom. She goes over to pick out her clothes for the day.

"Man, I want to wear sweat pants... but I hate looking like a slob." She mutters to herself as she thinks of what to wear.

"Well, can you still wear your jeans?" Bruce walls over, almost dressed. All he needed was a shirt.

Natasha looks at him and shrugs, "only certain pairs." She goes to pick out a few from her drawers. She grabs a shirt and everything else she would need. "I think this would do."

"If you want to wear something comfortable then do it." Bruce slips his shirt on. "I'll be downstairs okay? What do you want to eat?"

"Surprise me." Natasha replies as she started to get dressed. She quickly brushed out her hair and dried it a little. By the time she was finished Bruce had breakfast ready downstairs. Pepper was down before him so he helped her finish it.

"Is Natasha coming down?" Pepper sets the table. "I don't want the food to get cold on her. Speaking of which, Morgan can you go wake up your daddy? Say if he doesn't then he starves this morning." Pepper demands her daughter.

"Okay Mommy!" Morgan quickly runs off to get her father.

"Yeah, I believe so. She'll be down soon." Bruce nods as he helps Pepper dish out the food.

"I'm right here, just calm down." Natasha enters the kitchen. She goes to sit down. "Can I have some coffee? Please?"

Bruce shakes his head, "you had a little bit yesterday, so give it a break for today." He sits down next to her. "You can have some tea, I'm getting some water ready right now."

Natasha shakes her head, "no thank you. I'll just settle for some water." She moves to get it.

Morgan returned to the kitchen with a loud squeal of excitement. "Daddy is mad!" She goes to Pepper.

Pepper laughs a little as she picks her up, "oh my, what did you do?"

"I woke him up." Morgan smiles sweetly. "He was very tried."

"Oh I know that." Pepper sets her in her chair. "Now it's time to eat."

"Okay!" Morgan starts to eat her breakfast, enjoying every bite. "It's so yummy!" She exclaims.

"It is isn't it?" Pepper eats her food as well, "I'm glad you like it." Natasha sits back down with her glass of water, taking a sip before she started to eat as well. Everybody ate quietly. The only sound to be heard was Bruce's tea kettle going off. He steeped a cup of tea for himself before sitting back down next to Natasha. Tony finally joined them for breaking and immediately went for a cup of coffee.

"Thanks to whoever made this. God I need the biggest cup we have." He looks around for a big coffee mug.

"All the mugs we have are right there, they're pretty much the same size." Pepper looks at her husband. "Just pick one and get your coffee. We need to hurt up so we can go see the house."

"I know, I know." Tony mumbles as he goes to join them at the table. "I'm excited to see it again." He grins at Bruce and Natasha. "You guys are going to love it."

"I have high expectations Stark." Natasha grins as she finishes her food. "There better be a pool if you bought the place."

"You're going to be happy, trust me." Tony replies as he started to eat.

"Don't give too much away." Pepper threatens Tony. "Finish eating then we'll go."

"Okay okay!" He shouts and starts to talk less so he can eat more.

-

A few hours later the group was now on the road and heading towards the newly bought house. Natasha held onto the house key the couple gave her and Bruce ahead of time. Morgan was just as excited, already talking to Natasha having sleepovers with her and the baby. "And we can have pancakes before play dolls!" Morgan finishes up her story as she looks at Natasha excitedly.

"Well, how do you know that they will like dolls?" Natasha teases with a soft smile. "Maybe they would like something different to play with."

Morgan shakes her head. "Everybody loves dolls! Daddy likes to play dolls with me."

"Oh really? What doll stories do you play then?" Natasha snickers a little. Bruce couldn't help but want to tease Tony about that one later.

"A lot!" Morgan expresses with her arms. "We play horsy dollies, princess dollies! More and more dollies!"

"Oh wow, that's a lot." Natasha laughs for her. "We'll have to go get some more dolls won't we?"

"I'll get them a doll!" Morgan squeals, "mommy can we get dollies for the baby? Please?"

"Maybe." Pepper just shakes her head, "we'll have to wait and see. For now, we need to help them with their new home." Pepper points out the house they were pulling up to. Tony pulls into the driveway with a huge grin.

"Woah, this is crazy..." Bruce mutters, "this is ours? Our house?"

"Well duh. We wanted to give you the guys what you wanted. So we gave you the best." Tony explains.

Pepper nods, "it's a quite neighborhood with spaced out houses, large yards and apparently some great schools."

"Little spider is going to love it here." Tony turns off the car and steps out. "They're going to have all this room to be a crack head in."

"Hey, don't call them a crack head." Natasha grumbles as she moves to get out. Bruce beat her out of the car and carefully helped her then helped Morgan her out.

Morgan runs around the front yard as she squeals, "I love this!!!"

"Well don't get too attached." Pepper sighs as she watches her daughter, "we're not living here, remember?" Natasha looked around at the front of the beautiful, gray paneled house. She couldn't believe her eyes. She wanted a house, but never imagined she would ever get a house like this. It was perfect, it seemed like a normal family home. The baby would love it, she knew that for a fact.

"Well come on, we need to go see the inside." Bruce takes Natasha's hand.

Natasha shakes her head, "you guys, we'll pay you back." She looks at Tony and Pepper.

"No it's fine, this is our wedding gift to you. You don't have to pay us anything." Pepper shakes her head.

"Well, we'll baby sit Morgan whenever you want. Just bring her over. Anytime." Natasha replies, "you don't even have to call, we'll try to keep the place clean and ready for her to sleep over."

Tony thinks, "deal. But you don't have to pay us anything, just let me come over when I need to escape form her." He nods to Pepper with a small grin.

Bruce nods, "of course." He goes to hug him. "This is just amazing."

Tony hugs his buddy back. "Well, I did buy it. Now let's go look inside, that's the better part." Tony explains.

Bruce nods and takes Natasha's hand again and leads her to the front door. The Starks follow, ready to give the newly weds the grand tour. Natasha pulls the key out of her pocket to unlock the front door. "Oh wow..." she looks around in shock. It was beautiful and really family friendly. The entrance hallway was very welcoming and clearly showed Pepper helped decorated.

Bruce was just as surprised, "woah."

Pepper grins, "oh come on guys, that's just the entrance room." She leads them to the room on the left of the hallway. It was the kitchen.

It's soft blues and white made it feel so welcoming as well. Natasha could already imagine a little toddler running in here to try to sneak a snack while their parents weren't looking. After gawking at the kitchen Pepper leads the two to the living room. "I like this!" Morgan squeals as she leaps onto the couch.
(Minus the guitar)

"Morgan! What did I tell you?!" Pepper scolds her as she picks her up.

"I'm with her." Natasha grins, then she looks in the window and spots the pool in the background. "Oh no way..." she goes to walk to the window for a closer look.

"A pool?!" Morgan gasps, "mommy!!! I want to see it!"

"Okay, okay." Pepper sets her down so she can run over next to Natasha to see the pool.

"I WANT TO SWIM!!" Morgan squeals with excitement, running off to the to find a way to the large, fenced in back yard.

"No Morgan, maybe later okay?" Pepper takes her hand.

"So no bar?" Bruce teases Tony as he stands next to him.

"Oh it was in the kitchen. I didn't stock it yet however, you don't drink and I don't think Natasha will be anytime soon." Tony grins as he follows the girls up the stairs. Bruce follows as well. "There's also a bathroom down there too, but who wants to see that?"

"Wait really? A bar? Wow... you really thought this one through." Bruce walks with him up the stairs.

"Well of course, only the best for my science Bro." Tony grins as they enter the hallway and head to Natasha and Bruce's room.

It was simple yet calming. Tony grins as he watches the couple looks round. "Condoms in the drawer by the way."

"Tony!" Pepper shouts as she covers Morgan's little ears. "No there is not." She snarls.

Tony laughs as he goes to one of the bedside tables, "how do you know that?" He taps on the drawer as he winks at Bruce.

"Oh my god..." Bruce pales a little, "just stop it please."

"Who says we ever used those?" Natasha blurts out.

"NATASHA!" Pepper yells at her, "Morgan won't stay if you don't stop guys! Please!"

Tony burst out laugh, "you're about to get evicted little red, I'll watch your mouth."

Natasha rolls her eyes and as she finds the door to the bathroom. "Woah, this is probably way better than that pool." She looks around the room.

"I heard that the shower is amazing." Tony follows her in, "more you know what's in that drawer." He points out.

"Tony god damn it." Pepper mutters as she follows them in.

"Damn it Daddy!" Morgan shouts. Tony bursts out laughing. Natasha couldn't help but laugh a little as well.

"MORGAN OH MY GOD!" Pepper screams, "no no no!!! Don't say that!!! Bad! No sleep overs!"

"Yes sleep overs." Natasha grins, "it's fine, let her have her fun. She'll just say it once and be done."

"Yeah!" Morgan shouts, "I'm sorry mommy, I won't say it again. I promise!"

Pepper just shakes her head and walks out, the others following her. "Let's just finish this okay." She speaks with annoyance in her voice.

"Sounds good to me. Sorry about that." Bruce frowns, soon that changed as they entered the next room. The nursery.

Natasha stops in her tracks as she looks around, "oh... wow..."

"There's a playroom and a bathroom attached to this room." Pepper claims. "The office is the next room over along with another bed room which could be like a guest room."

Natasha didn't reply, she looked around the nursery in awe. It was a gender neutral room that still managed to give off a cozy vibe any baby would love. There was a beautiful crib with soft pillows and plushies. A rocking seat for the baby and even a rocking seat for Natasha or Bruce when it's time for a little midnight snack or a story. Natasha could tell already that there was going to be many amazing memories in this room, all starting with bringing her newborn home for the first time.

Natasha admires the room a little while longer before looking at Pepper and Tony. "This is just amazing."

"When the baby comes, we can add some more stuff that leans more towards their gender of you want." Tony explains. Morgan looked around the room too.

"This is so cute." Morgan squeals, "now can we swim in the pool daddy? Pleaseee!" Morgan begs.

"This isn't my house kid, I've told you this already." Tony looks at his daughter, "now if you asked the house owners then maybe."

Morgan looks at Natasha sweetly, "can I swim in your pool? Please?"

"Well..." she looks at Pepper.

"You don't have your bathing suit. Maybe later okay?" Pepper quickly answers for Natasha.

Morgan whimpers, "no! I want to go now!"

Pepper takes her head as she takes Morgan's hand. "No, we're going now. Your father has to visit his work real quick."

"What for?" Bruce raises a brow as he looks at Tony.

"I need to grab a few things of mine from the lab." Tony explains, "hoping that you didn't donate them or anything."

"I think they're there, most were damaged so we had to throw them out." Bruce explains. "I'll go with you."

Natasha sighs, "guess I'm going along too huh?"

"It'll be okay." Bruce takes her hand. "After that we can go back to the cabin and start packing our things. It that's what you want."

Pepper nods, "we're not kicking you guys out at all. If you want to wait a little just tell us. Now come on Morgan, we need to go."

Natasha looks at the nursery one last time. "I honestly can't wait." She looks at Bruce.

"For what? Coming back home or the baby?" Bruce studies her as they walk down the stairs together.

"Both." She grins, "definitely both." She leads them out of the house. Tony and Pepper follow with Morgan. Natasha locks up the house.

"Thank you guys again." She looks at Pepper as they head over to the car.

"No need to thank us." Pepper smiles. Tony unlocks the car and Pepper gets Morgan settled in her car seat. Soon the others get in the car as well.

"We can help you guys pack as soon as we get home." Tony promises as he starts the car. "I'll get a few things from the HQ and we'll be out." He explains as he drives off.

"That's fine, take your time." Bruce replies. "I'll help you grab your things, from what is left."

Tony doesn't reply, he just focuses on the road and what items he hopes he would bring back home with him today. The rest of the car ride was silent, except for Morgan who occasionally asked if they were almost there yet. A classic question, and it's still pretty annoying. Finally her question was answered as they pulled into the parking lot of the HQ. Tony parks by the front entrance and moves to get out of the car. Bruce follows as he looks at Natasha. "Do you want to stay here with Morgan and Pepper?" He questions after Pepper claimed she wanted to stay behind, Morgan would have probably broke anything in sight.

"I, sure." Natasha nods, "please don't be gone for long."

Bruce nods, "I'll try to get him in and out quickly." He explains as he shuts the car door.

Morgan whines, "why can't I go in?"

"Because, they'll be quick." Peppe replies.

"But I have to go potty!" She whines once again as she crosses her legs.

"Well why didn't you tell us?" Pepper sighs as she rolls her eyes.

"I said I wanted to go in." She replies and whimpers again.

Pepper looks at Natasha, "is it okay if I take her in?" She questions, "I don't want to leave you alone."

"Yeah, It's fine." Natasha smiles at Morgan. "If she needs to go then let her go."

"Okay, But no messing around you hear me?" Pepper moves to get out of the car before getting Morgan out as well.

"Bye bye." Morgan smiles at Natasha before they shut the door and go inside.

Natasha sighs in relief, she enjoyed a little alone time here and there. Natasha looks around a little as she places a hand on her bump. "Maybe I'll go back..." she mutters quietly, as if she was talking to her unborn child. "I do miss it." She speaks honestly, she has been laying low for a little too long now. A little longer than she would like. Natasha liked the drama her career brought, there was always something new going on. Always something to keep her on her toes. Maybe after she has her baby she could go back into action. Natasha continues to think the whole time the others were gone. She was in the middle of another thought when the she heard something, it sounded like an alarm. She looks at the building, on high alert now. She pulls out her phone to see if any messages were sent to her, there wasn't anything. So instead, she moves to get out of the car and investigate for herself. She could now hear that sound was definitely some type of alarm. Natasha looks around quietly to try to find out why it was going off. As she headed towards the building she heard the click of a gun, she looks around as she stops in her place. "Cowards hide." She snarls.

"Cowards her left behind." Someone finally speaks. They finally show themselves, a Hydra agent.

Natasha rolls her eyes, these guys are always easy to fight but tend to be pretty annoying. "Command the others to retreat." She demands.

"Why should we?" The agent grins, "we're so close to finding what we need."

"And What is that?" Natasha raises a brow.

"One of our scientist picked up a strong single from this base a few weeks ago. Ever since then they've been trying to match it." The agent walks over to Natasha, aiming the gun at her head.

"And...?" Natasha keeps an eye on him, not showing any signs of fear.

The agent doesn't respond, he just shoots at her without another word. Natasha quickly dodges, she promised Bruce that she wouldn't pick any fights but this was a time where she needed to fight back. She runs at the guy, quickly coming up with a strategy as she pulls out her hidden pocket knife. She grabs for the gun the agent had as they tried to reload it. She quickly stabs the knife into the guys chest as she pulled the gun out of his hand and threw it to the side. The agent yelled out and tried to fight her off. Another agent heard the gunshot and went to see what was going on. Natasha saw the other agent in the corner of her eye and grumbles as she goes to grab the gun she threw earlier. The wounded agent grabbed her arm and threw her down onto the ground. Natasha quickly moved away from then agent. The other one came over and grabs for her. Natasha quickly fought back, managing to throw a punch them so she can get away. She aimed another punch at the wounded agent who had finally retrieved his gun from her. "Fuck..." Natasha mutters as she sees it, being pregnant did not help at all. She was limited to what moves she could do, this made her more vulnerable to the agents.

"Natasha!!!" Somebody yells out to her as they run out of the headquarters, it was Bruce. "Nat-" he was cut off by a loud gunshot.

Natasha gasps as she heard it, "BRUCE!" She looks at him with wide eyes, fearing the worst.

Bruce looks at her with just as wide eyes, he mouthed something that she had failed to hear as she felt a small shot of pain down by her abdomen. She looks down to see that she was the one who was shot... "no..." she mumbles before collapsing to the ground.

Tissues? Get them.

I hope you enjoyed the fluff!
