Nope, what's up?

I need to tell you something. Something big, well for me.

[Does Nat sound nervous? Yes, yes she does. ]

[cap_rogers0704]

I'm in the store if you wanna come by. There's no one here but me.

You alright?

[morethanthis]

Yeah, I'm good. I'll see you in a few.

[ Nat walks in a little while later. ]

Hey Captain, how are you?

[cap_rogers0704]

[He moves to hug her before pulling back and leaning against the counter calm and relaxed]

I'm good. How are you doing? How's Morgan and Tony?

[morethanthis]

[She narrows her eyes at him, looking him over with a careful eye. ]

I'd say. You are looking much more relaxed than the last time I saw you. They're good. Also kind of why I'm here.

[She gestures a couple of chairs and sits in one. ]

Did Bruce ever mention the Red Room? And what was done to me there?

[cap_rogers0704]

No, not that I can recall. [Steve gives her a look of concern even as he takes a seat in the chair opposite her.]

You don't have to tell me anything you don't want too. You know that, right?

[morethanthis]

[ Natasha nodded. She folds her hands on the table in front of her. ]

It's not that I didn't want to tell you but It's not something I talk about freely, but after Africa, I was shaken and Bruce was there or at least that's what I told myself.

[She closes her eyes centering herself. ]

I can't have children... biologically. I thought I would never be able to have kids of my own.

And then Tony and Morgan came into my life... and the future and possibilities.

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve can tell she's nervous and he aches to comfort her. When she places her folded hands on the table Steve reaches across and places one of his own atop them, a gesture that he hopes brings her some measure of support.

He listens, not sure right now is the time to talk. He can tell she needs to get this out and he doesn't want to interrupt her.]

[morethanthis]

[Natasha is more than grateful for the silence. ]

So you know that Tony and I are together and have been for awhile. When I found out about the wombs in the lab, I realized that this place could give me something I've always wanted.

A baby. A family.

[cap_rogers0704]

[Steve has a bright smile on his face. He's pretty sure he knows where this is going and his practically bouncing with glee, but he's not going to speak just yet. She needs to get this out and he's not going to interrupt her, but it's clear he's excited."

[morethanthis]

Tony and I are having a baby, Steve.

[cap_rogers0704]

That's wonderful!!!!!! I am so happy for you, Nat!

[morethanthis]

[Natasha grins. ]

Thanks. Me too. It's a weird feeling... how are you?

[cap_rogers0704]

[He pulls her into a short hug but is willing to let it linger if she wants it too! Then he sits back and smiles happily at her.]

I'm dating Leonard Snart.

[morethanthis]

[ She has gotten used to hugs so she holds on for a bit longer than usual. Stepping back, smiling. She smacked his arm playfully. ]

You dog! Is that why you shot down all my date ideas? Too many women?

[ She squeezes his hand proving that she is so so happy for him. ]

[cap_rogers0704]

[He takes her ribbing and smiles warmly, happy.]

I like women just fine. I just wasn't interested in those women. I am not and was not really interested in someone who felt like they knew everything about me already and didn't want to get to know Steve.

[morethanthis]

And Leonard Snart sees Steve?

[cap_rogers0704]

Yeah. He seems to anyway. It's easy in a way it's only ever been with Bucky. And I wasn't attracted to Bucky.

[morethanthis]

[Nat smiles and leans over to grasp both of Steve's hands in her's ]

I think it's supposed to be that way. It is for me and Tony. I know on paper there is no way in hell we would work, but in life, we temper each other. I hope that is what you and Snart do for each other.

[cap_rogers0704]

Seems to be, yeah.

[He turns earnest eyes to her.]

I really like him, Nat.

[morethanthis]

I'm really happy for you, Steve. Maybe the four of us could have dinner sometime?

[cap_rogers0704]

I'd love that. I'm sure Len wouldn't mind it either.
