Natasha looks around the reception area in awe. "Oh wow, you boys really did this all by yourself?!" She looks at Bruce.

Bruce nods with a soft smile. "Of course. I wanted it to be perfect for you." He leads her over to one of the tables. "Wait until you see the cake. That's the table." He points out, "it's huge." He grins.

Natasha looks at the table, "it better be, I want leftovers." She moves to sit down. Bruce helps her.

"How do you feel?" He sits down next to her. "Do you need anything?"

Natasha shakes her head. "We're okay. My feet ache just a little, but not too much." She replies to him. She looks around to see everybody else taking their seats. Pepper and Tony make their way over to the table Natasha and Bruce were at. Morgan runs over as she squeals happily.

"Where's the cake mommy?" She looks at Pepper curiously. She was a sucker for a slice of cake. Pepper helps her get settled in a chair.

"It will be out soon. Don't you worry, there will be plenty of cake to go around." Pepper tells her. "Now stay here for now, I need to go check on a few things. Keep an eye on your dad." Pepper walks off to see if the remaining preparations were ready.

Natasha looks at Morgan with a soft smile. "Don't worry, if the cake isn't up to our expectations I'll make them pay for it."

Morgan laughs then nods. "I hope it's chocolate!" She moves to the seat next to Natasha.

"I do too, vanilla is good but I'm really craving chocolate. Some chicken sounds good too, what do you think?"

Morgan nods, "I like chicken nuggets and chocolate." She laughs again. "And ice cream!"

Tony watches Morgan. "You like anything chicken or sweet." He grins. "I made sure she got chocolate." He whispers to Morgan.

"Auntie Nat!" Somebody calle out, going over to join the table too.

Natasha heard him and smiled even more. "Nathaniel?" She moves to see the little boy running over. "Look at how big you've gotten!" She moves to pull out the chair next to her. "Come sit, I missed you traitor." She grins.

Nathaniel sits in the chair next to her, "we missed you too auntie Nat. Especially daddy." He frowns a little. "But I knew you would come back."

Natasha moves to take his little hand. "Of course, I wouldn't leave you or your father behind. How is your mother? Your brother and sister?" She questions.

Nathaniel smiles, "very good. Lila is learning archery like daddy. She's really good."

"Oh really? I need to see some of that for myself." Natasha grins. "Someone needs to carry on the gift. What about Cooper?"

"I hear mommy say that he's going through that teenager phase." Nathaniel replies, "he doesn't like family time anymore."

"Aww, well, it was due to come you know." She replies, "it'll be okay, he'll get over it soon."

Nathaniel smiles then looks at Bruce. "So can i calm you Uncle Bruce now?" He seductions curiosity.

"If you want to, I don't mind." Bruce shrugs, he didn't want to force Nathaniel to call him anything really. If he wanted to call Bruce his uncle then it would be okay with him.

"Okay, the food is ready." Pepper walks back out and goes over to Natasha. "It's all set out in the kitchen. You guys can go first, I'll let everybody else know." She explains before walking off. Natasha didn't need to be told twice. She was always hungry, always. Natasha makes her way to the kitchen to grab her 'fair' share of food. But we all know she was already piling up her second plate.

Bruce followed Natahsa in, he places a hand on her shoulder and whispers into her ear, "they're going to question." He warns her as he takes her second plate. "You Can have some of mine." He speaks a little louder.

Natasha looks at him and frowns, "honestly... I'm getting tired of hiding it Bruce. Tony and Pepper are both in the known, who cares if anybody else does." She takes the plate back. "I think tonight would be a great time to announce it, but if anybody babies me tonight they will not be getting any cake." She threatens.

Bruce nods, he knew she meant every word she just said so he let her do her thing and he did his own. He grabbed a small plate full of the delicious catered food Pepper had ordered. It all looked amazing to him, he knew Natasha felt the same. Once both of their plates were full, the two made their way back out to their table to enjoy their meal. Bruce helps Natasha carry her food out and get settled into her chair before sitting in his own. Natasha dives right into her first plate of food, moaning in delight as she takes the first bite of chicken. "This is delicious." She takes another bite.

Bruce chuckles, "is it up to your expectations?" He takes a bite of his own, "man it is pretty good. Probably the best chicken I have had in years."

Natasha nods in agreement. "I think I need another order of this next week." She grins, "or maybe even tomorrow if we can."

Pepper sat down with her own plate of food just in time to hear that comment. She laughs, "oh I don't know, we'll have to see. This is what we ordered for our wedding, Tony loved it."

Tony was already chowing down on his plate of food, Pepper knew her husband well. "I could just eat this chicken alone. But the veggies are pretty good too." He takes a bite of those.

Natasha looks at the vegetables on her own plate, it was a smaller portion than the chicken but she knew she needed to have a balance diet in order to have a healthy baby. She takes a few bites of the vegetables only to find they were just as good as the chicken! She quickly took a few more bites, devouring the rest of the food on her first plate. "Man Natasha, stress eat much?" Clint walks by with a grin on his face.

Natasha rolls her eyes, "well look at you bird brain, all you do is eat." She pulls her second plate up to herself and started to eat.

Bruce laughs at her comment, "that is true. He eats all of the food stuff, him and Thor together do. I never got a cookie or a poptart, not that I wanted them anyways. They're too sugary."

"Please don't tell me your kid will be stuck eating nothing but organic fruits and vegetables." Tony looks at Bruce, "I will smuggle stuff in if you do."

Natasha grins, "oh don't worry, they'll get their balance meals and snacks. Not too many sweets and I want them to enjoy eating a sugary treat here and there along with their healthy stuff. By now I bet they're going to be hooked on Oreos."

Tony burst out laughing, "dang, how many Oreos do you eat a day?"

"One too many." Bruce mutters as he finishes his plate.

"I do not, maybe just half a pack a day. But I balance it. Bruce made me tea today." Natasha explains, "and I had half a cup of coffee, that's it."

Pepper just shakes her head, "Tony leave her alone. It's her baby, she's doing just fine. Morgan, hows the food?" She looks at her daughter.

Morgan picks at her broccoli, "I like the chicken." She smiles at Pepper, "it's so food's."

"Eat your vegetables too, then you can have some cake." Pepper replies, "eat all of them up."

Morgan huffs, "okay mommy... I'll try." She mutters as she picks up a piece of broccoli with her fork. "I wish this was a cheeseburger..."

"That's my girl." Tony sneaks a high five to her under the table. Morgan giggles as she high fives him.

Pepper rolls her eyes, "you two and your cheeseburgers. If you guys behave maybe we'll have a cook out later this week."

"Yay!" Morgan squeals, "can we have cake then too?"

"We'll see." Pepper goes back to eating her food. Morgan quickly chows down her own food, eager for a slice of cake she may be rewarded later on. Natasha was just as excited, cake sounded amazing right now. It always sounded amazing. Natasha eats just as fast as Morgan, the sooner they were done the sooner they can eat cake. Natasha currently lived by that motto. Everybody else enjoyed their meal and light chatter, most were currently talking about the fact that Natasha AND Tony were both alive. They were still in complete shock over talk of this. Did Tony and Natasha care about this? No. All Natasha was cared about was how her and Bruce were going to cut the first slice of cake together. The two stand together by the cake as a few of their guest watched.

"How big of a piece do you want?" Bruce whispers to her before planting a kiss on the side of her ear.

Natasha grins, "I am eating double the portions, so this big." She shows him. They cut the first price of cake together. Pepper helps them get it onto the plate. Natasha quickly takes a bite, "oh man this is good." She looks at Bruce as she offers him a piece. "This is only for show." She tells him with a grin before walking off with the slice. She looks over at the table as she thinks, she hated the attention her and Bruce were currently getting. Instead of sitting at the table she makes her way to the bench over by the lake. She sits down as she takes a few bites of her cake.

"Uhh, where did Natasha go?" Bruce looks around after getting back to their table. Morgan points out where Natasha went with a smile full of cake. Bruce chuckles, "thanks kid." He walks off to join Natasha. "So, How is it?"

Natasha looks at him, "everything I imagined it would be." She takes another bite of cake. "How's yours?"

"Amazing." He replies as he takes another bite of cake too. "Really amazing." The two eat their cake as they quietly watch the calm lake in front of them. One they were finished they set their plates to the side so they can cuddle. Natasha holds Bruce's hand as she looks up at him with a soft smile.

"I can't believe all of this happened so quietly." She sighs, "it's just, really crazy..."

"I actually like it honestly." Bruce wraps an arm around her. "So, What should we name them?" He looks at her. "Do you have any ideas?"

Natasha thought for a moment. "I have a few. What about you?"

"I have some too, but I believe if you have one you want for certain you should get to choose it. You are doing all the hard work after all." He explains.

Natasha just shakes her head. "You're such a dork, I hope you know that." She laughs.

"I've been called one a couple of times." He grins as he moves a hand to place on her small bump.

"Hey, I was wondering where you guys went." Tony walks over followed by Pepper. Pepper held a small gift box in her hand.

Bruce looks at Tony. "Yeah, we just needed a moment." He shrugs as he continued to hold Natasha close.

Pepper smiles, "that's fine, I figured Natasha would hate all of the attention by now."

Natasha noticed the gift box on Pepper hand and raises a brow, "I told you guys I didn't want any gifts."

Pepper grins as she hand sit to Natasha. "We really wanted to give you guys a little something, after we heard you guys talking about it."

Bruce looks at the gift box then at Pepper, "What is it?"

"You'll have to see." Pepper smiles as she watches them.

Natasha goes to open up the box only to find that it was a-
