Summary: The Clint she knew would have asked her things like: if she had to run to bathroom every five minutes, if she was getting tired, if she had been sore. The Clint she knew would have offered her a back rub, in fact that guy had promised to help her in any way he could. He didn’t know what to do with himself, or why he suddenly felt so uneasy and scared. He knew he shouldn’t have, and it bothered him.

When Natasha chooses to keep an unplanned pregnancy, Clint decides to help her in any way he can. Only, it turns out to be more difficult than he expected.

Author's notes: this is one of those stories that just don't leave you alone. They demand to be told and refuse to leave you until you set them free. I'm aware that this isn't something some of you would call an ideal romance, that it's not a pleasant situation, but life is often comprised of unpleasant, less than ideal situations, and in those situations real friendships and love are tested. I appreciate any kind of feedback if it's delivered in polite and civilized fashion. Please let me know what you thought.

A/N 2: just a couple of notes. Thanks to few of my friends I’ve always imagined Bobbi Morse with brown hair. IDEK. Also, in this fic, Kate Bishop is twenty five-ish years old. Obviously I borrowed from comics and changed things a little bit, I hope you don’t mind.

A huge, massive thank you goes to - shenshen77 and asken_key for sticking with me all through this and keeping me from going insane, to SidheRa, enigma731 and frea_o, for their advices and suggestions. If I’m forgetting someone feel free to slap my fingers.

Million thank yous to my betas, shenshen77 and enigma731 <33333 !!!!

RATING: Explicit/NC17
WORD COUNT: 3,592
SUMMARY: This is the way she’s always expected he’d be, when she’s allowed herself to think about it, images of Clint infiltrating her fantasies. She’s known it was inevitable for months now, possibly even longer, but she hasn’t imagined it would begin the way it did, with his usual certainty in pieces, needing her reassurance at every turn.
WARNINGS: Sex, light bondage
NOTES: This is a companion to Mission Bells, set about two weeks later (four weeks post-movie). I’ll have more of an actual sequel to that fic eventually, but for now, please enjoy some Porn With Feels. Many thanks to _samalander and sugar_fey for beta and enabling, and to shenshen77 for being a most excellent cheerleader.
