'P-pregnant?!'

'Congratulations' Bruce smiles at you sincerely.

'Dr Banner. I've been frozen in ice for seventy years. The last time I had sex was....'

'Was?' Bruce asks now intrigued as he realises.

'Last night...' You blush a little.

Bruce frowns and looks at the scan again. You see his eyebrows burrow further and further in as he chews on his lip.

'What?' You finally ask.

Bruce snaps out of his train of thought and looks back at you. 'The serum...'

'The super soldier serum?'

'It's enhanced the pregnancy'

'But it was LAST NIGHT' You say again. Completely speechless.

'What was last night?' Steve asks curiously as he comes into the room. Seeing you holding a pack of ice to your head. 'Daisy what..'

'I'll give you guys a minute' Bruce gulps.

'Oh no! You're not scarpering out of this one!' You call out to Bruce and he turns back on his heels. Looking at Steve and Bucky who was perched in the door frame also listening.

'Daisy...she had a fall, and hit her head. Hard'

'Is she okay?' Steve asks worried.

'SHE is me and I am fine...kind of'

'Kind of?' Bucky now asks as he enters the room more.

'Buck! You should be in bed'

'I haven't had your cooking for decades. I'm not sleeping til I get it!'

You laugh and shake your head. But then you feel dizzy and go suddenly pale.

Steve and Bucky immediately come to your side.

'What aren't you telling me?!' Steve asks irritated and Bruce looks at you for consent but you bite the bucket and tell him yourself.

'I'm pregnant' You whisper out and you see Steve now be the one to drain of colour.

'P-pregnant?! That's impossible. I mean. We were...we..'

'I know. Frozen'

'S-so how?' Steve stammers. In complete disbelief.

'The...serum. Bruce was just explaining that...'

Steve shakes his head viciously. 'He's wrong. You're wrong!' He calls out to Bruce and the sudden anger in his voice takes you by surprise.

'I assure you. I am not wrong. The serum has clearly sped up the process of cells and insemination. If I could just take a blood sample from you then I could figure out...'

'There's no way. I mean...it can't be' Steve starts to breathe out heavily and you and Bucky exchange a worried glance.

'Pal?' Bucky says questioningly 'Whats going on?'

'I just. I don't understand'

'I'll give you guys a minute to process it all'

Bruce once again tries to leave the room.

'Dr Banner?'

Bruce sighs before turning and looks at you all awkwardly.

'If...if it is already this quick then...how long will the pregnancy last? Will the baby have the serum in them too?' You felt your stomach knot at the thought.

'I'll need Steve's permission to draw his blood and run tests so I can figure out all of the components and dynamics and match it to the scan and the...'

Steve rolls up his sleeve and inserts a needle that was lying on the medical table next to him into his vein. Before attaching a tube and taking the blood from his arm himself.

'Steve!'

'Oh come on Daisy. You know I use to have to have to go through all of this. I was always the sick kid being tested'

You take a deep breath and frown at him as he removes the needle and holds out the syringe of blood to Bruce. 'This enough?'

Bruce nods and takes the warm syringe in his hand. 'I'll need a few hours'

'Whatever you need...Thankyou'

Bruce gives you a small sympathetic smile and you feel yourself become extremely uncomfortable. Regardless of the scenario. You wasn't expecting such a cold reaction from Steve.

You get up off the seat and head towards the door.

'I'm going to go make the muffins now'

'Daisy wait' Steve sighs

'Not now Steve, Bucky needs feeding'

'Daisy...' Bucky calls out but you shake your head.

'Muffins!' You shout as you leave down the hallway.

Steve puts his hands on his hips and takes an inhale. 'Well that was tough'

'Steve...'

'I should have been more supportive'

'It's a complete shock Steve. Daisy won't blame you for acting that way' Bucky tries to help.

'She will, she should' Steve watches Bruce who was already studying the blood work and writing frantically on a piece of paper.

'Thankyou...Dr Banner. And I'm sorry I was so rude'

Bruce pulls himself away from writing and looks up at Steve. Bucky had his hand on his shoulder for moral support.

'Congratulations Steve' Bruce says genuinely and Steve gives a small smile.

'Well pal, to the muffins?'

Steve laughs and Bucky beams.

'Yes Buck. Let's go get you your muffins'
