don't leave no other but the baby
Officially giving myself Saturdays off for posting because writing club means I'm away from the internet for most of the day D: And yesterday was eaten up by cutting up caribou, and I won't even post the pictures I have, that's how much I love you guys <3
BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS
AND HOW MUCH I WANT HAWKEYE TO BE THE ONE AVENGER WHO IS GOOD WITH BABIES
Like, it's a surprise to everyone, but when they have to take care of this infant because reasons Clint is the guy who rocks it. Natasha flat out refuses to hold it, and just gets in staring contests with it until the baby bursts into tears. Bruce is also a no-go with baby-holding because he's so terrified he'll hulk out and accidentally crush it. Thor keeps holding it upsidedown, the baby thinks Tony's arc reactor is too bright, and Steve--well, Steve is good at holding but shit at everything else.
Clint though? Is great at babies. He croons and snuggles and sings songs and makes a little hammock for the baby (because it's almost like a nest!) He reenacts that scene from Willow where Mad Martigan feeds the baby blackroot and their baby (the Avengers baby) burbles and coos and eats anything Clint wants her to. And he has a little shuffle dance he does that puts her right to sleep, and he sings country/rock songs to her as lullabies.
And at some point someone (Tony or Natasha or Bruce) says, "God, I don't think I could ever have kids... The way I was brought up? I don't want to take a chance."
And Clint bounces the baby on his knee and says, "I'mma have kids to make sure they get the family I always wanted." And he beams around at his team and the baby coos and everyone spontaneously combusts with cute.
I WANT THAT
