Clint’s POV:
It's been about a year and our monthly paintball games has continued. Every team has won at least once except for Bruce and Betty. Since then both Wanda and Pietro went through training and therapy and will hopefully moving in soon. They will move in about a week before Tony and Pep’s wedding.
“Hey baby, how about we get some lunch? Nat and Steve won't be back from that mission anytime soon.” I look up from the table in the training room where I was fixing arrows.
“Sure, I just wanted to see if anyone had any news.”
“Clint, they have been partners for the past year, this is not their first mission.”
“I know, but they are undercover with Wanda and Pietro. Which this happens to be their first undercover mission and I don’t want them to jeopardize Nat and Steve.”
Bobbi walks to me and hugs me from behind running her hands up and down my torso. “Let’s go relax and have lunch.”
“Okay.”
After our lunch we both sneak back to the tower to watch movies and relax. Eventually Bruce and Betty join us after work and we decide to play Mario Karts. Soon Thor and Sif join us and after returning from their trip to Asgard.
“You should see my nephew he is going to be such a strong warrior.”
“Thor, he will probably go after magic rather than battle, just like his father.” Sif points out.
“I am just excited to one day train the young men of our kingdom.”
“Then why don’t you and Sif just have a baby already?” I ask and Bobbi looks at me angrily.
“Um, Uh I believe that I forgot to turn off the sink,” Thor stands and rushes away followed by Sif.
“What the fuck Clint,” Bobbi asks.
“I didn’t realize they would react like that,” I counter.
Bobbi rolls her eyes and storms out of the room. I look over to Bruce and Betty, “What the Hell just happened?”
They both shrug and I stand up to go after her when my phone rings. I step out into the empty living room before I answer, “Barton.”
“Barton report to HQ immediately you are needed for a mission.”
“Gotcha.”
I send Bobbi a quick text before leaving for HQ hoping she forgives me.
Thor’s POV:
I felt weak running away from Clint’s question but I don’t know what else to do. How do I tell my teammates that Sif and I got married in Asgard because I fear that she is with child? I respect my team so much that I do not wish to tell them of our mistake.
I love Sif very much and she already agreed to marry me a few months ago on this very rooftop. Once we went home both my mother and the maid questioned Sif’s illness. My mother requested that I marry Sif immediately to surprise both the people and my father.
“Thor, we will have to tell them soon. I doubt they will think any less of you, they already knew of our engagement.” Sif rubs my back in a comforting manner.
“I know my love I am just scared to even think of becoming a father so soon.”
“We do not know for sure yet, and whenever we figure it out we will get it all worked out, I promise.” I pull Sif around to sit on my lap as I kiss her. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Bobbi’s POV:
I sit curled up in our bathroom crying after storming out on Clint. I don’t know why but he just struck a nerve with me, which is not hard lately. I have been overly emotional for the past month but I don’t know why. My phone beeps and I open Clint’s message and cries even harder.
I stay there for a few minutes before I hear a knock on my door. Pepper sticks her head inside before coming to my side with tissues.
“What’s wrong sweetie?” she asks as I wipe my eyes.
“I don’t know I have been so emotional lately. I got mad at Clint today because of a simple comment and now he is on a mission.”
Pepper sits on the floor and hugs me close. We sit quietly as I calm down until Pepper speaks up.
“Sweetie I know this is a personal question but when was your last… cycle?”
“I sit and think for a bit before speaking, “I am not sure.”
“Oh sweetie,” Pepper says before standing up. “Wash up a bit okay? I will be back in a few minutes.”
I don’t have time to question her before she is out the door. I stand up and take my time washing my face and brushing my hair. Once I am finish Pepper comes rushing back into my room.
“Okay sweetie, don’t freak out alright. I might be wrong, it's just a thought.” Pepper starts to ramble before I cut her off, “What is it?”
Pepper reaches into her bag and pulls out a box and I almost faint. “A pregnancy test?!”
“Oh sweetie, please just take it. I am going to wait out here and when you are done just bring it out and we can wait together.”
Pepper hands me the box and I numbly walk to the bathroom and take it. I come out and sit the test on a napkin on my dresser as Pepper types something in on her phone. “So now we have to wait five minutes.”
I nod.
Minute One: Why am I worried, Clint and I could not possibly be pregnant! We did everything right.
Minute Two: What if we are? My life could be over?!
Minute Three: What if Clint leaves me? I mean no one would want a baby in this line of work.
Minute Four: What will Coulson and my team think? FitzSimmons, May, Daisy, Lincoln? Will they be upset? Will they still stick around?
Minute Five: I cannot be pregnant! I can lose everything!
BEEP! BEEP!
I jump when I hear Pep’s phone go off signalling the end of my five minutes of hell. I stand up pacing the floor. I can’t do this, I can’t look, I can’t handle this. If it’s negative I will throw away test and be relieved and just pretend that this never happened.
If it's positive, I shiver at the very thought. Do I tell Clint? Do I run straight to the nearest clinic?
I take a deep breath and pick up the test. I drop it as if it's fire and step back staring at it. Those two pink lines etched into my mind forever.
