Part 7

Smiling Natasha put her hand in his and he helped her up.

Sarah smiled at the pair as they walked into the dinning room and sat down at the table next to each other.

"Good, I'm starved" Tony stated as he walked into the dinning room with Joseph and Alexi close behind him

They all sat down at the table to eat. Natasha was hesitant to put food on her plate, she didn't want another event like last night to happen.

During lunch the men joked with each other while Sarah and Melina talked more about the wedding. Natasha on the other hand just listened to her mother and soon to be mother-in-law talk to one another. Sarah and Melina were currently talking about the honeymoon.

"I still think that a private island is a good idea" Melina stated

"I think we should let the kids decide. It is their honeymoon after all" Sarah stated

"Of course it is. I just think they'll have more privacy on a private island. No paparazzi. No one to take pictures of them and post them online" she justified "don't you think so Natalia" she asked as she looked over at her daughter who seemed to be lost in thought "Natalia" she called again when the blonde didn't answer the first time

"Humm" Natasha hummed as she snapped out of her thoughts and looked over at her mother

"I was talking about the benefits of a private island for yours and Steve's honeymoon" Melina said

"Oh, um, I-I don't really think a private islands necessary" she stated

"What's not necessary" Joseph questioned

"A private island for the honeymoon" Sarah stated

Joseph made an oh shape with his mouth but said nothing about it

"If you want to go to an island why not go to the Bahamas or something" Tony suggested

"It's their honeymoon they should go where they want" Sarah added

Joseph furrowed his eyebrows "do they want to go to a private island"

"No" Natasha replied while Steve said "we're thinking about it"

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows at the blonde while Steve just shrugged. Joseph's eyes darted between the two blondes before he took a bite out of his sandwich.

"When's the wedding again" Tony asked curiously

"Next week" Joseph replied as he took a sip of his tea

"Isn't that a little soon" Tony questioned

"No. The sooner the better" Alexi replied

Just then the sound of ringing could be heard throughout the dinning room.

"Natalia, what have I told you about your phone at the table" Melina scolded as Natasha took her phone out of her pocket

A look of horror appeared on the blondes face as she read the text message 'Clint's in the ICU' it read. Natasha looked over at Sarah "I-I'm sorry, I have to go" she stated

"What's wrong" Sarah asked concerned

"I have to go I'm sorry. Thank you for lunch" Natasha said before leaving the dinning room and going into the living room where she grabbed her leather jacket that hanged on the coat rack

"Is she okay" Sarah asked Melina and Alexi concerned

Alexi shrugged "how should we know" he replied

"You never know what's going on with that girl" Melina stated with a roll of her eyes

Steve looked at the two questionably but said nothing about their behavior.

Natasha ran out the front door of the Rogers mansion and grabbing her keys from her coat pocket she hopped on to her motorcycle and started the engine.

On her way to the hospital Natasha turned on her earpiece in her helmet and called Laura.

"Tasha" she greeted with a sniffle

"How is he" Natasha asked

"I don't know. I haven't seen his doctor yet" she replied

"What hospital are you at" Natasha questioned

Laura told Natasha the name of the hospital and bidding her goodbye, Natasha hung up and made her way to the hospital. Walking inside she quickly noticed Laura who cradled her son in her arms.

"How are you" Natasha asked as she walked up to the brunette and hugged her

"I'm okay. Can't speak for Clint though" she replied with a sad chuckle

"What happened" Natasha asked

Laura shrugged "I don't know. I talked to the doctor he said that Clint had a bluet two inches below his heart. He got it out and Clint's in recovery as we speak"

Natasha nodded

"Tasha, I hate to ask...but can you watch Cooper for me. I need to be here with Clint and-" she started and Natasha gave the brunette a reassuring smile

"Of course I can" she replied

----

As Natasha entered the Barton's household with Cooper in tow she looked around the small house that was once full of laughter and light banters. Sighing Natasha set the keys in the tray near the front door before she sat Cooper down in his cradle and walked over to the kitchen to give him a bottle.

After feeding Cooper and cleaning the house Natasha found herself sitting on the couch watching 'The Nanny Diaries'. As she was enjoying the movie her phone buzzed and looking at the screen she found a text from her mother.

Monster 💀:
'You and Steve have a engagement photo shoot for vouge at 11 a.m. don't be late'

                                                            Nat 🕷️:
                                                           'I'll be there'

Putting her phone down Natasha let out a huff of frustration. Another photo shoot where her mother would belittle her on her appearance. Just as Natasha was about to turn off the TV and go to bed, her phone rang.

Groaning in annoyance she picked up the phone not even bothering to look at the contact number "what" she hissed

"Woah, someone's not happy" Steve teased on the other end of the line

Natasha furrowed her eyebrows as she pulled the phone away from her ear to look at the screen. "How'd you get this number" she asked as she put the phone back up to her ear

"You're mom thought it'd be appropriate for me to have your number. Seeing as how we'll be married soon" he replied

Natasha hummed

"How are you" he asked and Natasha could hear the general concern in his tone

"Um, I'm, uh, I'm okay" she replied as she looked at the little baby sleeping in his cradle

"You don't sound fine" he stated

Natasha scoffed "and since when were you able to read me"

"Since now" he replied "what's going on"

Natasha sighed "a friend of mine is in the hospital. The ICU" she replied as a single tear fell down her cheek that she quickly whipped away

"I'm sorry" he said sympathetically

"Um, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow" she said

"See you tomorrow" he replied before hanging up
