So, this is the end...

Almost:)

••✦❤️🕷❤️✦••

"Keep pushing sweetie, we're almost done!" the nurse sang with a tired but promising smile.

Natasha huffed at a sweat drop running down her face

"We? I don't see anyone else pushing a baby out of their vagina!"

She barked out as she tried to keep her strength.

Steve ran his hand up and down her arm, kissing her messy hair and cooing sweet nothings to her, his 40s Brooklyn accent showing off more than ever.

"C'mon doll, you're doing great" He whispered encouragingly.

She threw him a cold glare, taking in a sharp breath as a new wave of pain rushed through her body "Next time, you'll give birth!"

She screamed out loud as she tensed her muscles in what she hopped to be the last time.

She screamed in pure pain, feeling exhausted as the wave of pain washed off and the constant intense spasming started to calm.

Steve embraced her tightly, whispering how proud he was and the nurse was smiling at her, talking with too much enthusiasm as she congratulated them but Natasha had locked all the voices out, her eyes fixed on the little baby being held upside down and then there was the smoothest sound she had ever heard in her life, a chocked sob.

Her child.

Her child was crying.

Her child was breathing.

Her eyes filled with tears and her arms stretched out to hold her child and the doctor rushed over to do as she wished.

She looked up at Steve only to find his eyes watery and fixed on the little baby.

"It's a boy" the nurse mused and Natasha failed to hold back her tears, a sob escaping through her lips.

"I'm gonna love you so much" She murmured in between sobs, Steve smiling as he cupped her cheeks, turning her to face him and he crashed his lips on hers, kissing her passionately.

His other arm snaked under the baby boy, his fingers intertwining with Natasha's as they both held their baby. He pulled away when he felt Natasha's need for air, resting his forehead against hers. "I love you so much" he cooed "I'm so proud of you".

Natasha looked up at him and smiled before letting her gaze fall down to her son.

"So, you wanted a boy. Got a name?"

Steve asked sweetly.

Natasha gave him a thoughtful smile, leaning her head against Steve's chest as she held her little boy as close to her as she could without hurting him.

"James?" She cocked up an eyebrow.

"James? You wanna name him after Bucky?" He questioned with surprise.

Throughout the pregnancy, he'd watched them develop a strong bond that evolved mostly around the two of them teasing him.

He loved how she helped Bucky arrange to this time and put either him or Tony in their places whenever they started bickering a little too much to be considered nice and friendly.

"Yeah. James Clinton" She gave him a teeth showing smile and Steve's eyes brightened as he happily nodded.

"Thank you!" He said before kissing her again. Then he moved to sit just by her side, wrapping his arms around the two of them.

Natasha cooed in James' ear, hushing him whenever he wiggled in her arms.

"You're gonna love him more than me, aren't you?" Steve chuckled, leaning down so his lips brushed his son's head.

"I haven't decided yet!" She chimed and Steve laughed, Natasha's teasing never seemed to give him a break. "But I will if you give me a baby girl too. You know, with you super soldier love making skills!"

She smirked as Steve blushed, his eyes darting around the room to the nurses still present.

"Nat!" He groaned but she could hear the playfulness in his tone, making her smile at the thought.

It's not like it has been only a few hours as she wondered why Steve hadn't proposed to her.

So what if he didn't? Or wouldn't? Would it really matter?

Yes!

She wanted a family.

Family trips and picture days and school parent meetings.

And she wanted her family pictures to have the blonde super soldier wrapping his arms around her body as their kids played around.

Turned out, she wanted to have a family with him so bad that she was going to make it crystal clear.

"Steve" she got his attention with her stern tone but before she had the chance to go on, a nurse approached her with a smile.

"It's time to try breast feeding."

Natasha's lips formed an 'O' and her eyes widened with a sweet sparkle dancing through.

She nodded bashfully and Steve could only smile at her before the nurse helped her loosen her hospital gown and next thing he knew, she was helping Natasha brush her nipple on James' lips.

His cheeks turned crimson as he watched Natasha nurse their son, a gasp leaving her lips as he started to suckle on her sensitive bud.

He let his fingers brush her neck, tangling with a red lock "How does it feel?"

He whispered and Natasha looked up, lips slightly ajar in a deep lovingly smile "Nothing like when you do it" she crooned and Steve laughed at her, making James let go of her nipple and Natasha to growl at Steve.

"You scared my baby" she mumbled as she helped him go back to suckling, Steve watching her with nothing but adoration as his son fell back sleep.

A knock got their attention, making them turn to see Bucky, Clint and Tony standing in the doorway, waiting for permission to come in but before they could say anything, Wanda pushed past them from behind and rushed to Natasha's side as she was handing James to a nurse.

"Can I?? Please?" She squeals and pointed at James. Natasha nodded "Of course".

Wanda was fast to take James from the nurse, sitting down on the seat next to Natasha's bed "Hey there cutie!" She whispered and in an eye blink, the three men were standing by her side, Steve being long forgotten as the new member to their team took the spotlight from his father.

Natasha on the other hand wasn't that invisible to them as Clint turned to face her with the most caring or even proud smile Natasha had ever seen him give anyone. "How are you?"

Natasha looked at James in Wanda's arms and bit her lip as she watched Tony and Bucky bend down to play with his little hands. Her eyes moved back to Clint's "Never better".

"So, he's Anthony, right?" Tony interrupted their emotional moment with a coy smirk.

"Wait, what?" Bucky questioned as he looked at Steve "Punk, tell me you named your son after me or god knows I'll punch you right here right now" he playfully fisted his metal hand, making Natasha smirk.

"Buck" Steve shook his head with a smile "Keep it down or you'll scare him" he smiled at James, his eyes shining and just then, there was another knock on the door with rest of the team walking in the room, all smiling and eyes darting between Natasha and James in Wanda's embrace.

Laura and pepper were first to start by Natasha's side, leaning down to kiss and hug her.

"How are you?" Laura asked sweetly and Natasha let out a tired laugh "Like I was just hit by a quinjet".

"Man he looks handsome!" Sam chipped in once he was standing next to Wanda "Lucky thing he looks like he gets his looks from his mom" he winked at Natasha, the rest laughing and Steve only smiling at Natasha "Yeah, lucky thing", melting the redhead's heart.

Natasha tried to sit up straight,

reaching her arms as a gesture to take her son back. Wanda gently and slowly stood up, handing the little boy to his mother.

Natasha looked at Steve, smiling and nodding as he turned to their friends.

"Well" He gave them a boyish grin "This is James Clinton Rogers".

••✦❤️🕷❤️✦••

It had been a perfect two week since the team had got back home with a little Rogers.

Natasha was still exhausted, the sleepless nights wasn't much of a help but she was glad Steve had voluntarily took charge of James' night time feeding.

Thanks to Laura, Natasha knew better to pump her breast whenever they started to hurt her and she would always have milk in the fridge that Steve would use at nights, not bothering her at all.

The team had decided to gather around since they'd been trying to give the couple some private time. So, Natasha and Steve had gone shopping for snacks and it would be their first time grocery shopping with James, making Natasha excited all the time.

When they got back to the compound, FRIDAY informed them that the team was there, but to Steve's surprise,

Natasha didn't seem to want to join them in the living room. It was as if the whole excitement was gone.

Natasha took James straight to their apartment, their bedroom and cuddled up with her son in bed. Steve followed up, a look of confusion plastered on his face.

They had planned to spend some time with the team, even Clint's kids were there waiting for their cousin!

He walked in the room, finding Natasha laying next to her son, her fingers stroking his cheeks.

"Nat" he whispered "You ok?"

Natasha hummed, looking in his eyes, her hand travelled next to James, patting the mattress "Lay with us?"

Steve nodded, taking off his shoes and scooting on the bed next to his son "What's going on?" He questioned softly.

Natasha chewed on her lip, tilting her head to meet Steve's worried eyes "Would it be awful if I said I want to leave?"

Steve felt his heart clenching and his body tensed "What? Why? Did I do something?"

She reached a hand to cup his face "Not you, Steve. The team."

She assured him "I don't wanna risk his life" She mumbled under her breath "I wanna be a mom" it came out shaky and weak and it was hard to just put it out there but she had to.

Even if they weren't a real family but they were still they and there was a we to deal with, so he needed to know she wanted to give her child a normal life, and he'd get to say his opinion too.

Steve was silent, face crunched up in deep thoughts.

"I'll start searching for a house" he said out of nowhere "Then I'll ask Tony to check up the safety, maybe we can get Friday?"

It came out more of a question and at this point, Natasha knew he'd been giving it a lot of thought already.

"Then I'll get whatever we need, and I'll move everything in, too." He went on "And l I'll take you guys there when everything is settled down."

Then his eyes snapped back to Natasha "Or maybe I should show you everything before? I'll get pictures and stuff and you can say what you'll like? You know, since you think my taste is a little old fashion."

Natasha giggled at this point, leaning towards him to peck his lips "So, you're ok with me leaving the team? The compound?" She let her lips brush his lips, not wanting to pull back yet.

Steve nodded, a little too eagerly and made Natasha smile "I want you two all to myself". He captured her lips in another kiss, sweet and soft and then there was a little hand that touched his chin. He pulled away, looking down at their son laying in between them.

He had balled one fist in Natasha's shirt and the other was brushing against Steve, as if he wanted to push him back.

"Oh come on!" Steve whined "It's too early to steal her" he was whining and Natasha was watching them with pure awe.

She scooped James up, standing up with a bright smile and sparkling eyes "Let's take him to meet the family" she mused.

Steve chuckled but stood up, following her out the apartment to the elevator. As they got to the living room, they were bombard with Clint's kids, squealing at they tried to grab James from Natasha. She was immediately pulled away from Steve and he didn't protest, instead went to the kitchen and got a bottle of milk for James.

Bucky joined his, a smirk visible on his face "Whats up, punk?"

Steve smiled "Not gonna lie, I'm stressed". Bucky hummed then smiled mischievously "I'd be too!"

Steve laughed "Thanks! I'm much better!"

Then he gave Bucky the bottle before walking to Natasha to take away James making Wanda who was sitting next to her and playing with his tiny hands pout. He walked away with a smile and a "Dinner time" explanation.

Natasha watched him go back to Bucky,

Sam and Tony instantly following after and her mind started to wonder why they were being weird. But she was pulled back to the girls as Sharon let out a squeak "Really?" And Maria only nodded, although her eyes were shining. "What did I miss?" Natasha cocked an eyebrow.

Maria sent a warning glance at Sharon but she shook her head, turning to the girls "She's moving in with Sam!"

She sang and earned herself a swat on the shoulder from Maria "Ouch!"

But it was said and a little too late to take back as Pepper clapped her hands twice "Wow, perfect!"

They fell in a deep conversation, each of them asking the other what was going on in their own relationships.

Wanda wanted to go on a trip with Vision, Sharon and Bucky had decided to move in together in Steve's old apartment with Bucky taking the place for good. Pepper was planning on bench sitting Tony for a while, spending some couple time and ignoring the world.

The super hero world.

The fun part?

Peter's aunt was going to work abroad for a few months and Peter didn't want to leave his school, so he was going to stay with them for a while.

Filling the team in about their conversation was fun.

Tony had said "I wanna keep him" with the grin he'd only give her when he wanted something stupid.

Pepper had face palmed herself "No Tony. He's a kid, he's not a puppy!" but Tony had stomped his foot "But I'm keeping him!"

And then walked away like a child dropping a tantrum.

"So much about mature boys!" Maria mumbled and the girls laughed.

"Oh like you have any problems with handsome birdie!" Sharon joked but Maria only shook her head with a mock miserable expression.

"Last week he threw a tantrum over Steve always running faster that him and running more laps! I mean it had nothing to with me but I had to sit there and tell him I'm sure he's still fast and can beat Steve's ass!"

Natasha laughed louder this time, clenching her stomach.

"Oh my god, he really sat there and talked to you about their morning runs?"

She chocked out between laughter.

Maria nodded and Natasha laughed again "Does he even know you're his girlfriend? Or does he think you're a roommate or something?"

Maria groaned but then smirked "Well he knows his way in the bed, so I'm guessing it's the first!"

The girls made disturbed and disgusted faces but smiled and laughed it off.

"What's up ladies?" Came Tony's playful tone as the guys walked back to them, each seating next to their girls. Steve walked to Natasha with a sleeping James in his arms as he kneeled down with a smile "He's got a present for you!"

Natasha gave him a lost expression, looking confused before her eyes fell on James chest, a small velvet box resting next to his hand.

She gasped, eyes widening and darting back to Steve's eyes.

She looked around, finding the boys smiling as the girls looked surprised.

She gently took the box, opening it to find a princess cut ring with blue and red stone designs on its sides.

Her eyes glistened and she looked up at Steve who was grinning boyishly.

He leaned up a little, hopeful blue orbs glued to glossy emerald "Be my family?"

Natasha felt her cheeks getting wet as she nodded her head, arms swinging around his neck as she crashed her lips on his "Yes! Yes! I'll be your family!"

"Finally!"

Sam blurted out.

"I knew this was gonna happen since you two crashed at my place after New Jersey!"

They all smiled and chuckled as Steve sat up next to her, arms wrapping around her waste as Natasha took James in a tight embrace, feeling surrounded by her loved ones.

The team.

Her family.

Her son and to-be husband.

She looked up at him with a smile and he looked down with the same passion in his eyes.

"I love you" she whispered.

"I love you, too."
