Disclaimer: this is fanfiction, folks. written for fun, not profit.
Author's notes: it turns out I can't have enough of these two + babies/children. Last Friday's discussion only helped, I already wanted to write a fic where Natasha
does want to have children and play with that sort of approach to her. It turns out that having children can have an interesting effect on two of them, especially Natasha, who was meant to be everything
but someone's mother and it turns out that deciding to become one can be an act of ultimate reclaiming - of herself, her body, everything she is and can become.
This fic was made infinitely better by my lovely braintwin and an amazing beta reader,
cybermathwitch, who practically coauthored this with me. <3! Read, enjoy, comment - i always love sharing thoughts on this topic :)
