Chapter 2
When they get back to Jim’s house, Clint was already asleep in the passenger seat. Jim turns off the engine and looks over at Clint. Jim smiles softly. Clint looks very young when he’s asleep like nothing horrible has ever happened to him. Jim gets out and grabs the food than walks over to the passenger side. He opens the door and slides one of his arms under Clint’s knees and the other around his back, picking him up bridal style. He closes the door with his hip and walks up the stairs. After he gets the door open he brings Clint back to his room and lays him on the bed.
Jim than tosses the bag of food on the nightstand and walks to the living room to grab Clint’s duffle bag. When he gets back to his room he pulls out a pair of sweatpants from the duffel and walks over to change Clint. After changing Clint he maneuvers him underneath the blankets and kisses his forehead before quickly changing himself and climbing in next to his husband.
The next morning Clint wakes up and looks up at Jim, seeing him still asleep. Clint sighs happily and cuddles more into Jim’s chest. Clint starts drawing shapes on Jim’s stomach. Clint looks up at the clock about 5 minutes later and reads 7:17. Clint decides to get up, moving quietly making sure to not wake Jim up. He wonders into the kitchen so he could make them breakfast. While cooking the eggs he feels a pair of arms wrap around his waist. “You didn’t have to make breakfast. I would have made it.” Jim says, kissing Clint’s neck lightly. Clint smiles, “I know but I wanted you to get sleep. I mean it’s your week off.” “That’s nice of you Clint.” Jim says, turning Clint around to face him and kisses him softly. Clint kisses back than pulls away, “I don’t want to burn the eggs.” Jim rolls his eyes. “Would you like me to get the juice?” Clint nods and makes a noise. “Orange juice okay?” Jim asks as he walks over to the fridge. “Course.” Clint responds as he sets the plates on the table.
After breakfast and after they do the dishes the two sit down on the couch. “We need to discuss a few things I guess.” Clint says. Jim sighs and nods. “I need to know what I’m going to do about the Avengers. Should I work out in the field or ask for leave? I’m up for either.” Clint says. Jim thinks for a moment, “I preferably don’t want you working in the field but how about you continue working till you start showing than you ask for leave.” Jim suggests. “That sounds fair to me. I guess the next thing is, where are we going to live, LA or New York?” Clint responds. Jim grabs Clint’s hands, “I know LA isn’t a place you much cared for so I’m willing to move to New York is that’s what you want.” Jim tells Clint. Clint looks up at Jim, “Really?” Jim nods. Clint immediately wraps his arms around Jim’s neck and presses a kiss onto Jim’s cheek. “I would love that. I haven’t told the others yet.” Clint says after a few moments of silence. Jim rubs Clint’s back, “It’s fine Clint. It’s your choice what you tell them baby.” “I can talk to Fury about getting you on to S.W.A.T. in New York or about you joining SHIELD.” Clint tells Jim. Jim smiles, “Preferable S.W.A.T. I love you and all but I don’t think I could do SHIELD.”
“Want to ask Natasha if she wants to hang out with us today?” Jim asks Clint. “I already asked and she’s going to be on the beach if we would like to join her.” Clint responds. Jim laughs, “Would you like to join her?” Clint shrugs, “For a few minutes but not all day.” “Alright, whatever you like baby.”
The couple head outside to the beach, Clint loves Jim’s house on the beach, in search for Natasha. “I see her.” Jim says, pointing out a red head about 20 feet away. Clint smiles and pulls Jim over to where she is. “I’m surprised you two came out.” She says as they approach. Natasha stands up and faces the couple. “I wanted to say hi.” Clint responds. She looks at Jim, “I’m assuming you know.” Jim nods. She smiles, “Congratulations, may I ask where you two are going to live?” “New York but I’m going to keep my house here.” Jim responds. Clint smiles at Natasha happily when she turns to look at Clint, making sure he was okay with that. “Good. Well, I’m going to be here if you need me. I’m assuming you two are going to go talk to Fuller and Fury.” She says.
Jim and Clint leave Natasha on the beach. “So, I think we should talk to Fury first before I approach the Captain.” Jim says. Clint nods in agreement. Clint pulls out his phone and dials the Director. Clint talks to Fury for a few minutes before hanging up. “It’s done. You are officially on the New York S.W.A.T. team. The transfer should be in Fuller’s office in about 20 minutes.” Jim smiles and pulls Clint to the car, “Gives us plenty of time to get there before the transfer does.”
When they get to the station, some of the officers are surprised to see Clint. Clint grabs Jim’s arm and wraps it around his waist so he could lean into his side. Jim kisses his head and murmurs, “It’s okay baby.” They arrive outside of Fuller’s office with 5 minutes to spare. Jim knocks on the office door and waits for the grunted; “Come in” before opening the door and walking in, pulling Clint in with him. Fuller looks up at Jim and Clint in surprise. “What is he doing here?” He asked more towards Clint. Clint grins, “You’ll see.” Jim rolls his eyes and before he speaks the computer alerts them about a new email. “Hold on.” Fuller tells them. He reads the email and looks up at Jim with a pissed off look. “What the hell is this about?” Clint’s grin widens. “I’m moving to New York to be with Clint.” Jim responds. Fuller glares at Clint, “You’re taking my best S.W.A.T. member.” “Not my fault that he loves me more than you.” Clint retorts as he rests his head on Jim’s shoulder.
They walk out of Fuller’s office only to end up running into Hondo’s team. “What are you two doing here?” Deacon asks. Jim sighs than looks at Clint. Clint looks back and nods, “They’ll find out sooner or later.” Jim looks at his old team, “I’m being transferred to New York S.W.A.T. to be Clint.” “You can’t leave.” Sanchez says from beside Boxer. “Clint’s pregnant and he wants to live in New York.” Jim responds, glaring at Sanchez. “Congratulations Jim, Clint.” Boxer says as he stands up and hugs the two. “Thank you.” Clint whispers. The team sigh but understand. They offer their congratulations. “Promise to visit?” Hondo asks the pair. “Of course Sir.” Jim replies
Natasha was waiting for them when they walk out of the station. Clint looks at her. “Avengers business. I’m leaving but you’re staying for the next two weeks than at the end I’ll be back to help you move Jim’s clothes in to the tower.” She tells Clint. Clint nods and hugs Natasha tightly. “Be safe.” Clint whispers. “Always.” She replies.
The end of the two weeks come faster than Clint would have liked. Natasha sends Clint a text message saying that the team wanted to come and they think that their helping a close friend of yours move to New York. Clint sighs than walks over to Jim and wraps his arms around his waist and laying his head on his chest. “The team is coming with her, so I’m going to tell them everything.” Clint tells Jim. “I’ll be right there with you baby.” Jim replies
30 minutes later, Clint sees a car pull up and the Avengers climb out. Clint takes a deep breath and opens the door to greet the team. “Hey.” Clint says as the team come into the house. Bruce and Steve both smile at him. Clint closes the door and follows them into the living room. “Word is that one of your friends are moving to New York.” Tony says as Clint comes into his line of sight. “Yeah..” Clint responds. “Do we get to meet this friend?” Steve asks politely. “Yes. I’m right here.” Jim responds as walks in from the kitchen. “Guys this is Jim. Jim this is Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Bruce Banner. I’m assuming Thor is with Jane.” Clint says. Jim smiles and shakes all of their hands. Clint takes another deep breath. “Tony, remember how I told you I would explain everything to you when I got back? Well, this is where I go almost every other week. Jim is my husband and I’m pregnant.” Clint finally says. Natasha grabs Clint’s right hand tightly. All of them are silent. Tony is the first to recover. “It looks like we’re getting a new housemate.” Tony says. “Really?” Clint asks, perking up slightly. “Of course. He’s your husband.” Tony responds. Clint looks over at Steve and Bruce, only to find them smiling.
