Here all the Avengers were sitting in the meeting room at Shield lost for words at what just came out of Director Fury's mouth he surely didn't just say that Loki got turned into a baby and he needed one of them to look after him because hell would have to freeze over first.
"Sir this must be a joke." Steve was the first to break the silence
"No Rogers I don't joke. Thor brought Loki 3 weeks ago he is a 3-week-old baby, Thor didn't give me details on what happened to Loki just that he was stripped of magic and immortality and that the All-father refuse to turn Loki back he says he wants Loki to redeem himself and starting over in life is the way to do it."
"Well sorry to break your spirit Fury but I'm not taking care of that son of a bitch baby or not," Clint said before walking out and no one could blame the guy. Loki did brainwash him and make him kill a whole bunch of people.
"Does anyone else want to back down? We only need one of you to take care of him?"
Tony, Steve, and Bruce all raised their hands leaving Natasha to be the one to take on Loki as her charge and Natasha wasn't mad she doubted any of the men in the room would know how to take care of a baby and she knew Clint would have probably left Loki in a dumpster and never looked back.
"Agent Romanoff, are you also going to back down?" Fury asked her, Natasha knew even if she said no Fury would still give her the child.
"No sir."
"Are you sure I could always have another shield agent or even Hill take Loki?" Natasha knew Fury was trying to get a rise out of Maria and he did. She saw Maria's eyes go wide at the mention of her name and she also turned pale.
"No sir, I'll watch over Loki."
"Then the rest of you except for Dr. Banner and Agent Romanoff is dismissed." Everyone was more than happy to leave the room and Steve shot Natasha an apologetic smile which she returned with a nod.
"What do you wanna talk about Fury."
"This is more of Dr. Banner’s alleyway. I'll be leaving him to explain everything and you have to change his name." Fury said also leaving
"What is it, Bruce?" Natasha asked turning all her attention to Bruce
"As Fury said Loki is 3 weeks old."
"Yes."
"When he came to us he is every tiny like premature tiny and he is also lacking in nutrition, Thor said he was starved before being turned so that was a factor in his current state." Natasha shouldn't pity Loki but poor guy well-baby now.
"Okay." Natasha wasn't getting the point in any of this
"He needs breast milk, it provides all the nutrients he's been lacking."
"I can't breastfeed him." Natasha knew she had dug herself a hole when she said yes she knew she would be taking care of Loki but she didn't think she would be breastfeeding him not that she could if she wanted to.
"That's why Fury had me make a formal that allows you to be able to breastfeed him and it won't do you any harm or Loki for that matter and I could give it to you tonight."
"Let's get this over with."
"It's in the lab," Bruce said standing up and leading the way to the lab
"I'm sorry you had to do this. I would do it but the big guy and all I don't think it would mix well."
"It's okay Bruce really I think Fury was going to pick me anyway or maybe Maria but I think she would have a panic attack if she were handed a baby."
"You're taking this well."
"I never thought about having kids since being sterilized and all."
"You won't have trouble with him. He is a pretty calm baby, adorable I would say as well," Bruce said, coming to a stop before swiping his card and holding the door open for Natasha to enter the lab.
"We're talking about the God of lies and mischief. I don't think he'll be easy."
"Well, you never know people can surprise you. Sit." Natasha did as Bruce said and watched him slip-on gloves before grabbing a syringe and Natasha just held her hand out and she was used to being injected with things.
"Do you know when they're going to release him?" Natasha said as Bruce injected the needle into her vein.
"In 2 days I think. He's gained a pound since being here, there's nothing wrong with him except a little malnutrition but you're going to be fixing that." Bruce said, taking the needle out after injecting her with the serum.
"You know you're making me sound like a milking factory right."
"I-I'm sorry that was never my intention."
"It's fine Bruce. Can I see him?" Natasha was curious as to what Loki looked like and she couldn't wait 2 days to see what he did look like.
"Sure." Natasha followed Bruce down to the medical ward, they walked down the long hallway until Bruce stopped at the door that Natasha could only think was where baby Loki was staying.
When Natasha entered the room she saw an incubator and many machines surrounding the incubator were many machines beeping indicating that the tiny bundle inside the incubator was alive and breathing. As Natasha got closer she could see jet black hair and emerald eyes watched her as she came in and there was no mistake that this wasn't Loki and he was as adorable as Bruce described.
"You can touch him you know," Bruce said as he saw how hesitated in Natasha and she did put her hands in the incubator, Loki grasped her index finger and gave it a weak squeeze his hands were tiny compared to hers.
"Are you sure he should be discharged? He is pretty small," Natasha said, not even looking at Bruce, all her attention was on Loki.
"He is small but he'll grow the only problem we had with him is that he stopped breathing a couple of times and he is malnourished but he is fine."
"What do you mean he stopped breathing a couple of times."
"As in he stopped breathing it is common in premature babies but it hasn't happened in a week so I think you're fine but keep an eye out for that."
"So you're telling me at any moment he can stop breathing."
"Yes but he hasn't stopped breathing in a week he's fine Natasha, we wouldn't be discharging him if he wasn't okay."
"Did you think of a name for him since he can't be called Loki anymore?"
"Logan, Logan Dimitri Romanoff."
"He looks like a Logan."
Before Natasha could answer Maria came bursting through the door Natasha glared at her. Loki was sleeping and she didn't want him to wake up. She knew babies could be fussy.
"Good you're here Fury asked if you have chosen a name and here is the paper for you to sign and you're on 2 months' leave starting tomorrow."
"Yes give me the papers." Maria did along with a pen and Natasha filled in everything along with Loki's new identity and then she handed the papers back to Maria.
"Congrats Nat you're a mom. You'll be handed his birth certificate when you pick him up. I'm so sorry it was you but glad it wasn't me."
"Oh, Maria you'll be babysitting."
"Natasha, no I'm your friend but I don't do babies Loki is cute but no."
"It's Logan now but we'll see about that."
Natasha Romanoff was a mother she never thought she would say that she had lost all hope of having children after being sterilized and she did think of adoption but she knew with her line of work she couldn't have a child so she didn't give motherhood a though she did get sad seeing other mothers with their kids, she didn't dwell on it long.
