Awkward Aunt Tasha
Natasha hadn't expected to be the next person to meet little Tony.
Steve and Bucky hadn't either.
Tony and Nat where the only two in the tower when he slipped. Friday had called in a panic and Natasha had to restrain her self from running out of the tower as she made her way up to his floor. The little was currently trying to keep a hold of his big head space whilst he made him self some lunch and was failing miserably. "Мальчик you're going to hurt your self, put the peanut butter down" She mummers gently, taking his hands away from the spread she leads him away from the counter.
"Wait Natasha no-I'm big. It's a big day-" Tony tried to argue, he looked at her with a flushed face. "Big" He repeats and Nat raises a brow at him.
"Big huh? Tony can you tell me what an atom does?" She asks, she'd heard Steve and Bucky ask Tony science question's before to range how close to being little he was. "I urm...it...urm..." The man gave a low groan and huffed. "Hate when you guys' do that" He pouts a little and Nat smiles a little.
"Well I'm sorry but we need to get you changed and fed. I'll call Bucky and Steve whilst you eat" She says seriously. The little nodded following Natasha to his nursery where she gets him on the table and lingers. "...I'll be quick" She mummers, changing him quickly into a diaper and booties before grabbing a blue shirt and popping it on him. "Lets...Lets go eat" She awkwardly helps him down and walks him to his highchair. She was quick to clip him in and make a small sandwich for him.
"Ta" He says happily, munching away as she walks away from the kitchen and calls Steve.
"Hello?" His tired voice echo's through the phone.
"Tony slipped." She states and hears some shuffling down the phone.
"Ok....is Clint there?" He asks and she groans.
"No it's just me. You know I'm bad with littles, I make them cry" She sighs heavily. "How long till you can come home?" She asks urgently as she hears Tony complain from the kitchen.
"3 hours? Give him some lunch and then set him in front of the TV and his toys for a few hours. Just make sure he is happy and clean until we get back ok?" He asks and Natasha groans heavily.
"Fine...but you owe me" She demands, Steve chuckles down the phone.
"I'll make sure Bucky bakes you some cookies" He said seriously and hung up. Natasha gave a heavy sigh.
"Ok Nat, you got this. It's just a little. You got this. It's Tony" She pumps her self up and walks into the kitchen. Then promptly turns and leaves again at the sight of peanut butter all over the boy and the floor. "Oh my god I think I'd rather be in Budapest" She groans. It was going to be a long 3 hours.

After wiping the peanut butter off of the boy and cleaning the kitchen Natasha had set the little in the play pen and turned on the TV. She glanced at the boy who was staring intently at her whilst sucking away on his pacifier. "What?" She asks in confusion.
"Play" He demands, holding up a rabbit to her. Natasha raised an eyebrow at the boy and shook her head. "Play please" He asks again and shakes it towards her.
"I don't play" She says calmly, flinching when she glanced over to his face to see tears in his eyes. She groaned loudly and shuffled over. "Only for a little bit" She mutters taking the rabbit and sitting on the floor with him.
"Ok, so you's are Bunny, She' is suuuupper cool! She has has'a urm....she can speak Russian an-an she can disable bombs an' an' she cooks super goods" He explains excitedly and bounces on his heals.
"Oh you don't say?" She says smiling gently, clicking on that he was making this rabbit out to be her.
"Yeah, people call her a bear buts I thin' she' just don' know how ta be...be feelin' aroun' people. Ya know? Like...happy isn' somethin' she know how to show so she does it in actions an' that she just real soft and fluffy under the whole angry Russian thin'. She also dance' pretty good" Tony finishes and smiles up at her sweetly and Nat inwardly groans with one thought going through her head.
'Shit, I think I'm going to steal Tony away'She smiled lightly at him and points to the fluffy teddy bear. "What about him huh?" She asks. Tony frowns and shakes his head a little and Natasha picks it up awkwardly and thinks. "Well I think you should be this teddy. He's real sweet and caring, got a big heart. Loves to make things for people without being asked and from what I hear gives the second best cuddles next to you. I've heard he knows Italian, can talk his way into anyone's hearts and easily out cutes every Мальчик around." She says softly, Tony smiles taking the teddy bear.
"What's that word mean?" He asks tilting his head and Natasha smiles a little.
"Means little boy." She says lightly before waving her hand away. "Now come on, lets play." She says softly.

By the time Bucky and Steve had gotten back the front room was in disarray.
Toys laid all across the front room, stickers where stuck on every surface, there was glue in patches and puddles on the floor. The sofa was turned upside down with pillows chucked everywhere. But Natasha and Tony where no where to be found.
"Nat?" Steve calls moving around the apartment, Bucky following behind him and looking around. "Natasha? Tony?" He calls. Bucky's quick hush made him look over. Under the kitchen table a sleeping Tony rested next to a crashed out Natasha. Both where covered in paint, glue, stickers and Tony even had a few pieces of peanut butter in his hair. Natasha woke up before either of them could do anything and waved lightly, climbing out she stretched.
"Sorry about the mess, got carried away on a mission" She grinned at them and they groaned.
"What happened?" He asks with a sigh and Natasha sends him a shark like grin.
"Bunny got in trouble on a scout and Teddy came to her rescue" She says with a wink. "She even stole something from the evil caregiver's" She winked and Bucky sighed from his spot.
"What did you take?" Bucky asked, Nat shrugged and left the floor. The parents sighed moving the boy to his room to nap and looked at the mess. They made quick work of cleaning everything up and Bucky stretched a little.
"I'm gonna eat my cake" He said leaving the room to the kitchen. Steve shrugged leaning on the sofa with a sigh.
"At least they had fun" He hummed to him self with a smile.
"SHE STOLE MY CAKE!" Bucky screeches angrily and Steve lets out a laugh.
