It was supposed to be a routine mission, but things went wrong. Natasha and Clint were injured and out of touch with headquarters. They were without any chance of salvation. Clint was wounded in the leg and Natasha was wounded in her abdomen. A man was sitting in a corner, and the head of a red-haired woman was lying on his lap. His hand played with his red locks, trying to distract his girlfriend as the gunshots rang out.
“Nat, don't close your eyes, please. Listen to my voice."
"Mmm..."
"Everything will be fine. Think about Maria. Think of your wife, Natasha Romanoff-Hill.”
Green eyes started to run around the room after her best friend mentioned her wife. Commander Maria Hill was her boss, but at home she was always Mia. At home, she is a loving wife who will support her at any moment, and at work she was a cold deputy director. It is this woman who will soon give this world a wonderful new life. Maria carries their daughter under her heart and Natasha does not plan to die before her birth.
"Clint, I feel bad…"
"I know, dear. I'll figure out how to get out of this place. Focus on the thought of your wife and your future baby. They need you."
The redhead nodded curtly and rested her head more comfortably on Clint's lap. They remained in this position for another half an hour, until the shooting stopped and footsteps were heard. Natasha was already unconscious, and Barton's condition only worsened. Clint tensed at the footsteps approaching them, but immediately relaxed when he saw Agent May and Agent Ward with guns in hand. Clint hardly remembered the events after that. They were taken to the...bus? Since when is it used again?
"..."
Natasha was the first to wake up. She abruptly stood up, but immediately regretted this decision. She had a severe headache and abdominal pain from the stab wound. Her hand ran down her stomach and found that it had been patched up. The redhead looked around the room and found Barton next to her. His wound was patched up and he was sleeping soundly on the nearby mattress. She also noticed two water bottles on the table nearby, with the SHIELD emblem on them. So, SHIELD took them and evacuated them. Perfectly.
"..."
It had only been fifteen minutes, but it felt much longer to Natasha. Clint hadn't woken up during that time, so she'd been looking around the room they were in all this time. It was an interrogation room. This fact scared Tasha a little, but she did not succumb to fear. Finally someone walked into their room and it was…
“Coulson? How?"
"Hello, Natasha. I'm glad to see you're alive. By the way, I heard that you are going to be a mother soon. Congratulations!"
"Don't you dare. Don't you dare change the subject of our conversation!"
"Nat..."
"Go away!"
"Agent Romanoff, please listen to me."
"Go away!"
Coulson sighed in frustration and placed the food he had brought with him on the table. The food that Clint and Nat love.
“Agent Simmons will be visiting you soon. She will examine you."
With these words, Agent Coulson left the interrogation room where the two Avengers were temporarily living.
"..."
Another two hours passed. During this time, Clint woke up, so Nat fed him and gave him water, then ate herself. She didn't tell him about Coulson. When the time comes, then he will find out. Now is not the time to shock him. And now, agent Gemma Simmons, whom Coulson mentioned earlier, finally enters their room.
"Good day! My name is Doctor Gemma Simmons. I am only here to help you with your wounds.”
Natasha and Clint looked at the young girl in disbelief, but nodded their heads in agreement. A gentle smile appeared on Gemma's face and she began her work. To begin with, the doctor examined Clint and his leg wound.
"Nothing serious! Soon everything will disappear and you will be able to run again.!
Gemma's sweet voice made the redhead a little nervous, but she didn't show it.
“Now I need to examine your wound, ma'am. Can I do it?”
The redhead slowly nodded and sat down on the mattress more comfortably so they could examine her. The cute doctor sat down next to her and began to carefully examine the wound.
"You are also doing great! It will take longer to recover than Agent Barton, but you will live. If you need anything, tell Coulson. Goodbye, rest."
With these words, Gemma left them, and Clint stared at Natasha with wide eyes.
"Did she say Coulson?"
“Yes…He used to come in here when you were sleeping. He wanted to explain something, but I chased him away."
"That looks like you."
A small smile appeared on Barton's face, but quickly disappeared as he glanced at Romanoff.
"Does that mean Maria knows about him and hasn't told us anything?"
"That means Maria knows about him and didn't tell us anything."
Subtle tears began to form on Nat's face, which quickly disappeared.
"I will have another conversation with her, but now we both need a rest."
"Natasha, I'm sorry."
“No need, Clint. rest You need rest."
"Like you, widow."
"..."
Four hours later they finally landed at the Triskelion. Clint and Natasha hurried to the medical department. They were examined and released. Clint offered his girlfriend to go with him, but she refused. She needed to see hers wife. As she walked down the corridor, she met agents who were horrified by her anger. When she finally reached the office, Natasha knocked. In response, the redhead heard that the commander was letting her in. Nat enters and closes the door behind her.
"Natasha, dear. How glad I am to see you!"
Maria got up from the table to hug her wife, but she pushed her away.
"How could you!?"
"Nat, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Phil, Maria! You know how important he is to me!"
Maria became numb on the spot. Her wife found out the truth. She always knew that this would not lead to a good result.
"Tasha, listen to me, please."
"Try it."
Hill plucked up courage and began her little story.
“Fury didn't want to lose an agent like Coulson, so he found a way to bring him back to life. I knew it from the beginning, but I was under orders to keep quiet about Phil being alive."
"I will not forgive you for this, Agent Hill."
Maria's heart stopped for a moment. Was it the end? The brunette already wanted to apologize to her wife, but her stomach started to hurt badly.
"Masha? What's wrong with you?"
Maria no longer listened to her. She struggled to reach her chair, but fell to the floor right in front of him. The last months of pregnancy were difficult, especially for the SHIELD agent.
"Maria!"
"..."
"Where am I?"
Finally, Maria woke up, but she was in a hospital bed. The first thing she noticed was the absence of her stomach. What happened to her child?
Natasha was sitting nearby, watching her wife.
"Masha, everything is fine. You got stressed because of me. I'm sorry."
“Nat, you don't need to apologize. You were angry with me because of my mistake. May I have one question?"
"Anything."
"Where is our baby?"
Suddenly, the cry of a baby lying next to the commander's bed was heard. Anastasia Romanoff-Hill.
