Pre Obama's Mission

N: Like what?

H: Hungry all the time, and you're feeling hungrier than you used to be when you were...

Natasha frowned, confused.

N: What? I was what?????

H: Pregnant.

Natasha grinned, then laughed, she leaned her head against the seat, and laughed even more, but gradually she stopped, because Hill was not laughing.

Natasha looked serious and looked Hill in the eyes. Hill didn't have to repeat what Natasha asked in her mind. Hill just nodded and noticed the seriousness on Natasha's face.

H: I'll be here.

Natasha sighed and looked at the hospital, it took minutes before she opened the car door. Natasha left the car, she took a step, and stopped. She turned to look at Hill.

N: I can't do it.

H: It's the only way to know.

N: I don't want to know, I don't want to be pregnant!

H: You can face this now or later, but at some point, you will have to know if you are or not.

Natasha took a deep breath and went to the hospital, she went up to the third floor and waited for Cho, who appeared a few minutes later to call her inside the room.

Cho: So... What are we feeling today? Something in the head? Any pain?

Natasha shook her head.

N: Hill thinks... I should do a checkup.

Cho: Yeah, I asked you to come so many times, why now? What made you change your mind? Feeling something different?

Natasha was super serious, she shook her head.

Cho: Well, I'm going to schedule your exams for another day then, Hill told me it was urgent, but if you're not feeling anything... Just go to my rsecretary and schedule these exams, once ready, you'll call me. All right?

Cho wrote the exams on paper and handed it to Natasha, who seemed to be in a state of lethargy.

When Cho turned to leave, Natasha called for her again.

N: Doctor?

Cho stopped and looked at Natasha.

N: Let's just say that I'm... I mean... Hill thinks I'm pregnant... What are the chances of this being true?

Cho looked at Natasha and understood her nervousness, it was the same thing with James and Sarah.

Cho: Well if you have an active sex life, there is a 50% chance. Weren't you taking contraceptives?

N: Yes! Yes!

Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to herself. How could she forget that she was on the pill? It is impossible that she is pregnant.

N: Sorry for the scare, I had forgotten.

Cho: Natasha, there is still a possibility.

N: Huh?

Cho: Contraceptives fail. And when you got pregnant with James, you were on pill, right?

N: I don't know, I don't remember! How is that possible???

Cho: Honestly I don't think the pill failed, I think Steve's serum was able to break the effect of the pill on your body.

What the fuck??? Natasha thought.

N: Господи!! (My God).

Cho: Come on, we can be sure of that in a moment, thanks to our technology.

Cho took Natasha for exams and confirmed Natasha's worst nightmare.

Cho: You want me to call Steve? He'll be so happy, I remember he kept smiling at each session of James and Sarah's ultrasound. When he heard James's little heart for the first time, he cried so much. I wish you could remember.

N: I think I'm going to throw up.

Cho: Don't exaggerate, he has always been na emotive person and you loved him.

N: No, I mean I will vom...

Natasha bent over on the stretcher and threw up the floor. Cho was amazed at the amount and called the cleaning staff.

Cho: I'll call Steve now.

N: No!!!

Cho: No?

N: I don't want him to know. We're not married anymore and it's my body, right? I don't want anyone to know.

Cho: Okay...

Cho sighed.

Cho: I just need you to come follow up this gestation, twice a month and you will take Folic Acid and many natural vitamins.

N: Twice a month? I don't have time for that.

Cho: Your pregnancies were risky before so, I want to keep up with the development of this one. The tests showed that you are pregnant for two months by now.

N: Two??? Shit. I need to go.

Natasha got up in a hurry and ran out of the hospital, Hill was in the car as promised. Natasha came in and slammed the door.

H: So... For your face, you really are pregnant.

Natasha didn't answer and didn't look at Hill.

H: Steve is going to freak out!!!!

N: Don't tell him!

H: Not me, you will.

N: No, the son is not his.

H: No? Are you pregnant from the blind dude?

N: I don't know.

H: How come? Are you pregnant of how many time?

N: A month, almost a month.

Natasha lied, because Hill could make the count and knows that she wasn't going out with Murdock yet at that time.

H: Yeah, you may be pregnant with Matt or Steve.

N: Don't tell any of them. Let's just eat something, because I am starving.

Hill started the car.

...

Steve already knew that the next day, he would be busy with President Obama's mission, not only the next day, but the next five days after too. And Steve foresaw that he probably won't sleep at home during these two days of the mission because of the seriousness and complexity of the mission.

Although Steve vowed not to take long travels on missions, because of his children, this time he has no option, he would have to go.

All the Avengers had a break in the afternoon and tonight, as tomorrow they would begin the mission with SHIELD.

Before going home to see his kids, Steve decided to go to Elisa's job to see her before he stay out for some day. Elisa was Happy to see him, received him with a kiss and a big smile.

E: Everything okay? You have a serious face on you.

S: Are you ready to leave?

E: Yes. I'm just going to get my bag.

Elisa went to the staff area, said goodbye to her colleagues, and joined Steve.

Steve gave Elisa a helmet, she put it on and say behind Steve on the bike. Steve took her home, and decided to spend some time with her, since the mission would take days.

As they sat down on the couch, Steve explained about the mission that would take days.

Elisa nodded.

E: I'll miss you.

Steve smiled uncomfortably.

E: It was for you to say "Me too..."

Steve patted his head lightly and smiled.

S: I will too, of course.

Elisa smiled and sat on Steve's lap, she put her arms around his neck and kissed Steve's face, then his lips.

E: I think if you're going to spend days without seeing me, you should at least spend the night with me tonight.

Steve sighed.

S: I know it's going to sound weird, Elisa. I'm not rejecting you, but I have children, I can't stay.

E: Well, you're with them, everyday.

S: I know... but they kind miss me when I'm nota round.

E: They can stay with their mother, then.

S: It's complicated, because I should have warned her before.

Elisa took her cell phone and handed it to Steve.

E: Then call her and ask her to stay with the kids.

S: I can't do that. I don't know what she is doing tonight, if she can be with them or not, it's not fair.

Elisa broke the smile.

S: And I really want to spend time with them too before I go, I can never say goodbye before the missions and it hurts them. Please, try to understand.

Elisa sighed and rolled her eyes, then she nodded.

E: Well, will we at least have a few hours just for us now?

Steve nodded.

E: Okay.

Elisa got up and walked to her bedroom, she unbuttoned her blouse and turned to look at Steve.

E: That's enough for me, for now.

Steve looked at her, removing her clothes and he's a man, he won't deny it to Elisa, especially when she strips off in front of him.

Elisa entered her room and Steve stood up. Steve followed her into the bedroom and Elisa closed the door.

...

Hill and Natasha were sitting in a restaurant, eating.

Natasha was drinking her milkshake, watching the movement on the street through the window, ignoring everything around her.

Hill is a good friend and company, she does not keep pushing unnecessaries conversations to break the silence, she knows that Natasha is reflecting about the changes that the pregnancy will cause in her life.

N: I can't have it.

Natasha said after many minutes of silence.

H: Huh?

N: I can't have this baby.

Hill didn't look at her with judgements, she had abortion herself before and she knows Natasha has already had an abortion as well, so she won't judge her.

H: Are you sure?

Natasha was slow to respond, which made Hill think Natasha was uncertain and needed encouragement to do it or to give up.

H: If you do it, don't tell the father. He will not forgive you.

N: Are you talking about Steve? He may not be the father!

H: The fact of your uncertainty in taking the baby or not, makes me believe that it is his. You don't care about Matt. You don't even know if he wants a baby or not, you probably don't even know him that well.

Natasha was silent again.

N: He would hate me, right?

Hill nodded.

N: I can't have children, Hill. I had two, that took me a lot to get used to them and I love them, Hill, very much, they're my life now, but I can't have another baby. No... I can't have the baby and he can't know about it.

H: So you're going to take it?

Natasha nodded.

...

Afters two hours, Steve said goodbye to Elisa and went home, he opened the door and Sarah ran to hug him.

Sarah: Daddy!!! You're home!

S: I am, princess.

Sarah: I missed you, daddy.

S: Me too, baby.

Steve looked at the amount of children in the apartment and he frowned, then he noticed the presence of Clint, who got up and greeted Steve.

Laura: I'm sorry, Steve. I should have asked if I could bring the kids here, but they behaved very well, nothing was broken. I promise.

S: All right, Laura, I like that they were playing with other children, here in the building there none for them to play. And I apologize for being late.

L: No problem. They already had dinner and we left some food for you.

S: Really? You really are great.

C: I'm even thinking about stealing her from you.

Clint smiled, flirting with Laura, she smiled and looked down.

S: Don't even dare.

Steve answered without noticing that Clint was flirting with Laura.

C: Francis, come on. Let's give Laura a ride home.

L: No need to bother with that, I can take the train.

C: It's a pleasure to be in your company.

L: Well, so thank you...

Laura smiled again.

C: Let's go, then. Good night, children, good night, Steve.

Clint went out with Francis and Laura.

Steve looked at Torunn.

S: What about your father?

Torunn shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she did not know.

S: It's a bit late. Your father doesn't have a cell phone, so I'll call your mother.

Steve telephoned Jane's cell phone, but it was falling into the mailbox.

S: Well, I'll try again later.

J: Can we play video games in my room while Thor doesn't come to pick her?

S: Yes.

Steve sat down to dinner and he tried to call Jane again and again. Steve tried ten times and started to get worried. Steve called the Avengers Base, asking if Thor or Jane was there and they said no.

Steve looked at the time and he needed to explain to his kids that he was going to be away for a few days, but he didn't want to do that with Torunn there.

Steve called Hill. Hill said she was going to find Jane, and she managed to locate her cell phone position, and as Jane didn't answer the call, Hill called Darcy, who was wondering how Hill got her phone number.

Darcy said that Jane was coming back from a research field with her, and Dr. Erik, Jane was yelling in the bakground, compliaining about Thor not going to pick up their daughter.

Darcy: Jane, stop screaming, I'm trying to talk to Hill!

H: Will you go pick her there, then?

Darcy: Wait! Okay, Jane! I will ask. Shut up!

Hill was hearing.

Darcy: I'm sorry, Hill, but Janes wants to know if you could take Torunn there and take her to your home, because it's on our way home.

H: But what about Thor, can't he pick her there??

D: Thor had to go to Asgard to solve something urgent. Listen, Hill, can you do that? Jane is hysterical here, she would be calmer if you say you will take her.

H: Uhm, sure... I can do that, but don't take too long. I'm alergic to kids. And I will drive her straight to Jane's home.

D: Oh will you do that? Amazing!

H: Yeah, I don't want kids ruinning my place.

D: Haha you're funny.

Hill ended the call.

H: I need to go, Thor's idiot went to Asgard, Jane was doing research out of town and they left their daughter with the new daddy of the year.

Natasha looked at Hill in disgust, and Hill began to laugh.

H: Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hill hurried out of the restaurant, and drove to Steve's apartment and rang the bell when she arrived.

H: So, where's the delivery?

S: Delivery?

H: The blond Asgardian kid.

S: You mean Torunn... Torunn?

Torunn came into the LIVING room.

S: Do you already know Maria Hill, right?

Torunn nodded.

S: She's going to take you to your mother.

H: Come on.

Torunn waved to say goodbye to James and Sarah, she held Hill's hand and left.

Steve sat on the living room floor and finally called James and Sarah to sit with him and talk about the mission.

S: I want to talk to you.

Sarah knelt beside Steve and James sat facing him.

S: Look, Dad's going to have to spend a few days out.

James rolled his eyes and threw himself back, putting his hands to his face.

Sarah: Why, Daddy?

S: I have an important job to do.

J: Save the damn world!!!

James was still with his hands on his face

S: Yes, you live in it. James?

James looked at Steve and sat down again.

Sarah: Can we go with you, daddy?

Steve hugged Sarah and placed her on his lap. Steve shook his head.

S: You can't, princess, it's very dangerous.

J: Are you coming back?

S: Of course I will come back.

J: But you're mortal, you can die!

S: Yes, but James... Why are you saying that? Who told you that?

Sarah: Jesus said.

Steve looked at Sarah.

S: Jesus?

Sarah: Yah, the God's daughter.

S: No, she's not Jesus, Sarah. It happens that there are several beings in the planet and out of the planet, that some people call gods and they like to call themselves gods, but it's not the same God you're thinking.

Sarah: Oohh...

Sarah seemed to understand better now.

Steve looked at James, then to Sarah.

S: And don't worry, I'll get back to you. I will always come back, right?

James sighed and Sarah nodded.

S: Well, I want a very, very tight hug and a big kiss before bed from both of you.

Sarah hugged Steve's neck and kissed his cheek. James didn't hug Steve, he just got up, went to his bedroom and slammed the door.

Steve sighed at his reaction, but he can't blame him for being upset that he is going to stay out, he made a promise and is breaking it now.

Steve put Sarah in bed and she sat up, taking a small doll in the drawer.

Sarah gave the doll to Steve and laid down again.

S: What is this?

Sarah: Stay with you.

S: Aren't you going to play with this one?

Sarah shook her head.

Sarah: It's my favorite doll, and now you know that you have to come back to give it to me.

Steve smiled.

S: I said I will come back, princess.

Sarah: Then take it with you.

Sarah covered herself. Steve kissed her forehead and left the room, he went to James's bedroom, who pretended to be asleep. Steve covered him and kissed his forehead.

S: I love you, James. Very much. Take care of your sister.

Steve stroked James' hair and went to sleep.

...

Hill was checking the GPS for the best way to Jane's house, she was already close, she stopped at the intersection because the signal was blinking in the "yellow" non-stop.

Hill decided to check her messages while the cars were passing. A car pulled up beside Hill and honked. Hill glanced to see who it was.

Torunn: MOTHER!!! It's my mother!

Hill noticed Jane's car, Dr. Erick and Darcy were in there too, smiling at Torunn.

Torunn was smiling and waving at her mother, Jane. Jane smiled and nodded at Torunn, then Jane looked at Hill, and told her to turn right after a block, so she could get Torunn, it was impossible to do it now on that avenue where they were.

Hill nodded, and turned her attention to her cell phone again, she received a new message and it was from Henry, which made her smile.

Jane honked lightly once more, and pointed to the traffic light, which was now green. Hill looked at the traffic light and decided to answer Henry's message before start to drive again. Althought Hill was surprised because the traffic light seemed broken and suddenly came back to work, she listened Jane's car going foward, and just typed na answer to Henry.

After a few seconds, Hill put the cell phone on the seat next to her to start driving again and she heard the sound of cars skidding, trying to break and then a great light blinded Hill and everyone around for a few seconds.

When Hill's vision returned to normal, she looked at the intersection and a truck had dragged Jane's car into the corner and sandwiched it against the wall of a building.

Maria Hill could not believe the scene, because it happened so fast, in a matter of seconds. Worst of all is that Hill was slow to remember that there was someone else in the car with her and that someone was the daughter of the woman who just died in that terrible accident.

**So sorry guys, so much pain for everybody. Not sure if Nat will keep the baby or not, if she will tell Steve or not and I alson want to remeber you that there more death to come, I said once Steve and Nat will get together after losing someone special for both oth them, but don't forget that there is a death of one principal character as well...**
