"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

Paulo Coelho

The Quinjet lands outside a large farmhouse. We all look around curiously as we walk towards it.

"What is this place?" I ask.

"A safe house?" Tony asks.

"Let's hope," Clint says.

I look at Tony curiously as we walk into the house.

"Honey, I'm home," Clint says. A heavily pregnant woman walks into the room. "Hi. Company. Sorry I didn't call ahead."

Clint and the woman, I'm assuming is his wife, kiss.

"This is an agent of some kind," Tony insists.

Clint looks back at us. "Gentleman and Addison, this is Laura."

Laura smiles at us. "I know all your names."

We all look at her awkwardly, unsure of what to do or say.

"Ooh, incoming," Clint says.

I hear footsteps running towards us and a little girl and boy come running into the room.

"Dad!" the girl shouts.

Clint picks up his daughter. "I see her!" He kisses the top of his son's head. "Hey, buddy! How you guys doing? Ooh..."

"These are...smaller agents," Tony remarks.

I elbow him to tell him to stop. He looks at me innocently.

"Look at your face! Oh, my goodness!" Clint says.

"Did you bring Auntie Nat?" the girl asks.

"Why don't you hug her and find out?" Nat says. The girl rushes towards Natasha who picks her up in her arms.

"Sorry for barging in on you," Steve says.

"Yeah, we would have called ahead, but we were busy having no idea that you existed," Tony states.

"Yeah, well Fury helped me set this up when I joined. He kept it off SHIELD's files, I'd like to keep it that way. I figure it's a good place to lay low," Clint explains.

Natasha and Laura hug. "Honey. Ah, I missed you."

Natasha touches Laura's stomach. "How's little Natasha, huh?"

Laura smiles. "She's...Nathaniel."

Natasha bends towards Laura's pregnant stomach. "Traitor."

Without a word Thor walks out of the house and Steve follows after him.

I put on some clothes I borrowed from Laura, pre pregnancy. I walk out into the room in just my bra and pants. I stop when I see Tony standing there.

I force a smile. "I didn't realize you were waiting."

"I would've joined you, but uh, it didn't seem like the right time," Tony teases.

"They used up all the hot water," I tell him.

He smirks at me. "I should've joined you."

I walk over towards him. "Since when did you become a gentleman?"

"Since we're in someone else's house," Tony tells me. He looks at me seriously. "Hey, what did you see today?"

I sit down on the bed. "I saw my mom."
