I'm a wee overstuffed, but I'll bite:

Everyone just assumed Natasha couldn't and/or didn't want to have children.

Clint squeezed Natasha's hand just a little tighter as they stared at the pink line appearing in front of them.

Natasha laid her head on Clint's shoulder and let out a sigh of relief.

"This is really happening."

Awwwwwww! Thank you!

*tosses confetti* :D

Love this!

With Clint's hands on her shoulders providing her strength, Natasha announced to the rest of the team that she was, in fact, 13 weeks pregnant. This news was greeted not with the usual cacophony of snarky comments, high fives, rousing toasts, and general mayhem, but with teary-eyed stares, slack jaws, and stunned silence. As her smile slowly grew, she instinctively rested her hand on her midsection, looked up at Clint and whispered, "Wait 'til we tell 'em it's twins."

Squishes and cackles in one fic! I love the sweetness, the supportiveness, and her ever sharp sense of humor. Love this!

Thanks! That prompt was riding around with me all night. Finally had to do something with it. Glad you liked it.

Lovely. I feel ... all gooey and squishy. Just perfect before bedtime!

And now all I can see is the other Avengers trying to raise their kids when Nat and Clint are out on missions... *snort* :)

aaaaawwwwww!

All kinds of warm fuzzies from this!

Oh, that's excellent! Twins, indeed!

"Holy heirs and moppets, is that a kid--is that your kid?" Tony sputtered, his eyes darting frantically between Mrs and Mr Black Widow and the miniature assassin-ette with the Romanoff hair and Barton smirk.

Assassin-ette looked him up and down with eyes that were disturbingly similar to her (oh, god, Tony was going to have to admit it) mother's, murmuring something in Russian that had Barton, of all people, shaking his head and scolding, "Katechka," even while Romanoff nodded and answered, "Da."

The worst part about it was that Tony couldn't even call the whole reproduction thing all that disturbing, not when everybody was looking at everyone else with eyes that shone with love and pride and all the things Tony had spent a lifetime watching for on his own, so he just sighed and continued on his way to the lab, shaking his head at the giggles that followed behind him.

This starts off so cute, and then you really get a punch in gut with " ... and all the things Tony had spent a lifetime watching for on his own ...

Nicely done!

I absolutely LOVE this.

Beautiful. I managed to miss this, so thanks for linking to it on your LJ. And yes -- three cheers for the (properly punctuated) run-on sentence!
