Natasha pov
In the past 2 days, Natasha had been setting up to take Logan (Loki) home, Tony had made sure she had everything a baby needed, Pepper had accompanied her to go baby clothes shopping, Steve had put in the car seat for her, Clint had been distance but she couldn't blame him, he was leaving the tower for the time and she knew he was going back to the farm and she wasn't pushing him to get close to Logan or anything. So here Natasha was sitting in the back of her car with Steve driving and her paying close attention to Logan who was in the car seat sucking on his pacifier and watching the world around him, Natasha had dressed him in a dark navy blue short sleeve singlet that said mom’s little boy on it he was also wearing a matching dark navy blue hat.
"I know that this must be weird for you taking care of our enemy for the next 18 years of your life and I know I shouldn't have chickened out. I don't know how to take care of a kid but I will help you as much as I can."
"It's fine Steve really, I've had some experience with kids."
"But I still feel bad that we all left it up to you."
"Well, you're all making up for it aren't you," Natasha said, turning her attention to Loki who had spit out his pacifier and when Natasha tried to put it back in his mouth he wasn't having it and started wailing.
"Is he okay, do we need to pull over or something?" Steve asked worriedly
"No, he's just hungry," Natasha said looking through the baby bag until she found a blanket and draped it over her right shoulder, she could see Steve blushing as she went to unbuckle Loki from the car seat. as she put him under the blanket before exposing her nipple to Loki who sucked on it greedily.
"How are you comfortable with taking care of Loki."
"I'm not fond of the idea of taking care of him but he is just a baby who has no recollection of his past and needs someone to look after him since his own family won't do it," Natasha answers honestly the night after she was told she was adopting Loki she had nightmares of him growing up and killing her but she had to remember that Fury said that he wouldn't remember his past.
The rest of the car ride was silent as Steve had nothing more to say and Natasha was focused on the tiny human being who was feeding off her breast, the nurses at the hospital taught her how to correctly position Loki so he could latch onto her nipple properly.
"Were here," Steve said turning off the car
"Steve can you get the baby bag for me," Natasha asked, passing him the baby bag as he got out of the car which he took. Unknown to them there was a person snapping pictures of the 2 of them stepping out of the car and entering the tower with Loki in the car seat. Natasha and Steve rode up to the communal floor where everyone was meeting them.
"Red, Cap, and baby Reindeer games welcome home. Drink?" Tony greeted them once they got off the elevator
"No thanks," Natasha said setting the car seat on the couch
"Come on Red you never miss out on a drink. I have vodka."
"I don't doubt that you have vodka but I'm breastfeeding."
"Now that you're a mom you're no fun."
"Thank you, Stark it's called being responsible."
"Cap?"
"I'll take a scotch," Steve answered, which Tony gladly poured for him, still pouting that Natasha wasn't joining in; she was usually his drinking buddy most of the time. Minutes later Pepper had come off the elevator and she ran straight to Natasha and Loki was currently in her arms.
"Oh my god who knew Loki could be so adorable!!!" Pepper squealed
"Can I hold him?"
"Yeah just wash your hands." Pepper disappeared before coming back, hands washed and eager to hold Loki.
"Just make sure you support his neck," Natasha said handing over Loki to Pepper
"He's so adorable," Pepper said gashing over how adorable Loki was.
"Tony I want one." Pepper turned to Tony who looked mortified at the idea of having a child
"Pepper I'm sure Natasha won't mind sharing Loki with you right?" Tony said
"What are you too scared of having to change diapers, Stark?" Natasha teased
"Yes, I am."
"Here Tony hold him," Pepper said, handing Loki over to Tony and making sure he was supporting Loki's neck, he looked very awkward holding Loki, and Natasha was surprised Loki wasn't crying in Tony's arms.
"Here Rogers why don't you hold him," Tony said trying to pass Loki to Steve who moved away quickly
"Nope, I'm good."
"Can you all stop passing him around like a sack of potatoes," Natasha said
"Whatever you say Mama bear," Tony said, sitting down still holding Loki looking more comfortable than before. Soon the conversation was diverted from baby Loki and soon the 4 were joking and arguing mostly Steve and Tony. Tony who was still holding Loki who had fallen asleep in his arms didn't mind at all, he was actually quite comfortable.
"Hey, guys." Bruce said coming off the elevator
"Bruce we were wondering where you've been. Natasha and Loki came home ." Steve said
"You mean Logan." Bruce corrected
"Who's Logan?" Tony asked
"Loki is Logan we can't keep calling him Loki because it'll confuse him when he's older." Bruce explained
"Wait you named him Logan?" Tony asked turning to Natasha
"Yeah." Natasha shrugged
"What's his full name?" Tony asked more curious
"Logan Dimitri Romanoff."
"I was wondering Logan isn't very Russian of you but Dimitri is."
"Can I hold him?" Bruce asked he had held Logan before
"Yeah here." Tony was about to pass him over but Natasha stopped it
"No, Bruce where have you been?"
"The lab."
"Yeah no your clothes were around chemicals so you can't carry him." Natasha says
"Natasha!!"
"Shush you'll wake him up and everyone who wants to carry him will have to wash their hands and be chemical-free." Natasha wasn't taking any chances with Logan getting sick the last thing she needed was to be in a hospital worrying about the child's health just because Bruce wanted to carry him when he had dangerous chemicals all over him.
"Natasha has a point Bruce he hasn't even gotten his vaccines yet and him being so small his immune system is weak." Pepper said
"But I just wanted to hold the baby." Natasha was pretty sure that was the hulk talking
"Next time Bruce, next time." Steve said patting Bruce on the shoulder
"Come, Tony, give me Logan." Natasha said walking over to Tony who was still holding the sleeping baby
"Wait Natasha I have to take a picture." Pepper said pulling out her phone and snapping a couple of dozen photos of Tony and Logan
"Okay, now you can take him." As N Natasha moved loser to Tony shields, Logan, away from her not wanting to give up the baby
"Tony gave him up." Natasha damned hands outstretched
"No, I wanna keep him." Tony pouts like a child
"Then you should have requested to be his parents hand him over."
"Pepper tell her to let me keep him."
"Come on Natasha, name your price." Pepper said she too wanted to keep the adorable child who stole her heart
"Pepper I'm not selling my child." Over the 2 days, Natasha had gotten close to Loki and now she saw him as Logan her son
"How about joint custody?" Tony asked hopefully
"No." Natasha said taking Logan from Tony who was left pouting like a wounded dog and a sulking disappointed Bruce who really wanted to hold the baby. But Natasha didn't care she had a baby to put down.
