Natasha

Her escapade's at the park had worn Y/N out again and her energy boost lasted until halfway through our walk home. We had passed a toy store and Wanda had spotted a jelly cat duck in the window and before I could protest, she had bought it. But Y/N was fast asleep in my arms once again, so we saved the stuffie for a surprise later.

I laid my daughter down for a nap in my bed when we got home, turning on the baby monitor so I could keep an eye on her. She looked so cute tucked up underneath my duvet, the only thing visible being her little head.

Wanda had turned on a movie in the living room and we both sat down to watch. But I can say that I wasn't really paying much attention to it.

I really did try, but my mind just kept drifting back to that moment on the bench. If my little devil of a daughter had played in the sand for 30 more seconds, I could have kissed Wanda.

But then the thought of that scared me. Am I good enough for her? She has a heart of gold, whereas mine is gushing red from my ledger. Plus I have a kid. She's not going to want to be lumped with someone who has a screaming toddler to take care of.

We had chosen to sit on one of the smaller couches and every now and then our knees touched as one of us shifted. Wanda had her eyes glued to the tv so I couldn't catch her eye to make conversation. My confidence had diminished in such a short space of time.

"I'm just going to the bathroom. Can you keep an eye on Y/N for me?" Wanda nodded and I slipped down the hall to the nearest bathroom.

Wanda

Nat is a loud thinker. I don't think she meant to, but I could hear everything she was panicking over in her head. My heart broke slightly as she doubted herself, and I vowed to talk to her when she came back.

She had been gone for about 2 minutes before I heard whimpers coming from the monitor. I looked closely to see Y/N sat up in bed with her pacifier in her mouth and tears streaming down her cheeks. I didn't know how long Natasha was going to be, so I quickly paused the movie and raced to Nat's room where Y/N was sleeping.

As I pushed open the door, Y/N cried out, her tiny fists rubbing at her eyes. "Mama?" She whimpered around her pacifier.

"No honey it's Wanda." I rounded the bed to her side and she did grabby hands towards me, whining loudly. I quickly picked her up and held her close to my chest. Her little heart was beating so fast and her chest heaved up and down. We walked around the room and I bounced her gently, like Nat used to do when Y/N was a baby.

She was still crying, but her heart had slowed back to her normal pace. "What's happened muffin?"

"Ni'mare" she mumbled around her paci before crying again.

"Oh baby it's ok. Do you want me to get Mama?" Her tiny fists gripped my shirt and she shook her head. "Do you want me?"

"And Mama"

I was still rocking her in my arms like a baby when Nat ran through the doorway. "Mama's here baby girl. Mama's here." Y/N looked over at Nat and her bottom lip wobbled before she completely burst into tears.

"Mama" she wailed, her pacifier now on the floor. I picked it up and placed it on the table. Y/N was clinging onto my shoulder but reached out to Nat as she came closer.

I passed her over to Nat and watched as the mother soothed her crying child. As much as Nat will try to deny it, she's an amazing mom to Y/N. That little girl has one of the best role models to look up to.

Nat took a seat on the bed and situated Y/N on her lap. I didn't know whether to stay or leave, but Y/N's big green eyes looked right at me, so I knew I needed to stay.

Y/N was sat against Nat's chest as her mama rubbed her back comfortingly. The toddler reached out and grabbed 3 of my fingers in her little fist, pulling me closer towards the pair. I gently sang a Sokovian lullaby to help lull her to sleep.

Her eyelids started drooping but she forced them open, burying her head deeper into Nat's chest. The hand that wasn't holding mine was pulling on the neckline of Nat's shirt, screwing up the material.

"It's ok, you can sleep princess" Nat encouraged, stroking her daughter's messy braids. I kept singing quietly, gently squeezing the toddler's hand.

Y/N whimpered again and Nat pressed a kiss to her head. "You're ok. We're gonna be right here. I'm not gonna leave." That seemed to work for Y/N. She gently closed her eyes and very quickly was asleep again. Nat placed her back under the covers but didn't leave the room.

We both sat on the opppsite end of the bed to Y/N, as to not disturb her. I placed my hand on top of Nat's once more. "Natasha, you are good enough. I don't know what it's going to take for you to see that."

She didn't look at me. Her gaze was kept firmly on the floor, so I stood up and linked my fingers with her. Without another word, I lead her into the bathroom and stood behind her in front of the mirror. She was a little shorter than me, so I placed my hands on her shoulders and leaned my cheek against her hair.

"Do you see that?" We made eye contact in the mirror. "That right there is the strongest woman I know. She's had the whole world thrown at her and yet she's come out the other side so much better. You're raising a beautiful girl who's lucky to have a mom like you. You give so much love to everyone, yet your so scared to take it in yourself. When are you going to see yourself the way I see you?"

She blinked away a couple of tears that had formed and took a shaky breath in. "I don't deserve you Wanda."

She turned around and suddenly our faces were very close. I could feel the nerves radiating off her so I gently cupped her face in my hands as hers drifted to my hair. "I think you'll find it's the other way around" I mumbled against her lips before they finally connected.

The kiss wasn't passionate and crazy like most people would associate with Natasha Romanoff. It was sweet and hesitant and I knew how vulnerable the redhead felt. Her lips moulded to mine perfectly and I couldn't help but sigh into the kiss. We pulled away, our foreheads resting against one another as we caught our breath.

"I love your little family and I want to be a part of it." I whispered, looking into her eyes.

Nat nodded, tears running down her face as she buried her face into my neck. I held her tight, vowing to keep this little family safe as best as I could.
