Whoa... yeah you can't just leave it there! But seriously... that end... guh!

[anuna_81]

I am definitely not leaving it there! That would be way too cruel to both, but mostly to Clint. And you know the way I roll ;)

(Do you see now what I meant when I said "demanded to be told")? But - do you like it? If you do what did you like the best? I waaant to talk about this now it's finally done, because it's been eating me alive for nearly two months!

Sorry, I read this just before work! But omg! Kate Bishop! Mention of what happened with Bobbi, ugh! So sad! I looooved the fact that Clint has already adopted this girl, and he doesn't correct people for thinking its his! Just perfect!

[anuna_81]

Its your fault that i imagine Bobbi with brown hair. Just so you know.

KAAAAAATE! I totally love Kate. She saved Clint's and my sanity here. And yeah, i think it goes without saying that Clint loves and would love any child of Natasha. It feels very much like him, and the fact that its not his bio- child bothered him less (much much less- if any) than fear he might lose Nat. He's afraid of loss and being all alone.

I SEE YOUR BIRD METAPHOR AT THE END THERE.

I like that those two crazy kids were able to make it work. Poor Nat. Morning sickness is hell on the spy skills. Though I do like that they put her into training. I can't even imagine the poor trainees' reaction when they walk into class on the first day and find out "You'll be taught by the Black Widow. Don't make any sudden movements. In addition to being deadly, she has hormones."

Trainees: Oh, God.

And then they all immediately rush out to update their wills, which is hilarious because Natasha ends up being the most lenient of the trainers. Everybody knows that Clint's trainees come in with waaaaaay more injuries. ;)

Mostly because he laughs whenever one of them says, "Hey, look what I can do!" instead of preventing anything hazardous.

I look forward to reading the rest of this soon!!! Great fic. :)

Actually i did not intend that metaphor, but still, eeeeee awesome! I'm so happy you like it!

They're not quite there yet, but i wouldn't be too worried about them. As for Nat and training, i read a comment written about my fic once, how Nat being a mom is completely incompatible with who she's supposed to be ( read between the lines, babyfic with her and Clint shouldn't be written). I make a point of writing about all things she can do, while being a working mom. Being a field agent is just one of them. She can succesfully do a wide variety of jobs. Training is just one of them.

More is coming very soon! Sit tight!!

I'm so glad this idea grabbed hold of you!

I LOVE the fact that you haven't made this an easy process for Clint. His struggles with his history with Bobbi and how he sees Natasha changing and what he wants his role to be vs. what he thinks Natasha wants/needs -- so well done. And no pressure from Natasha, like she's just waiting for whatever he's willing to give, not wanting to ask for anything.

The whole thing was hitting me in the feels, but this line:

“But she is yours,” he said. “She is yours, she is a part of you and I can't not love her too.”

BAM! Made me teary-eyed.

Okay so I've been looking forward to this story since you first mentioned it, and agh, this is all I wanted and more. Where do I even start?
I love the premise. With these two, everything is bound to be ubercomplicated and I love that. Also, I think it's a really neat choice that they aren't necessarily in a full on relationship at the start of this, because that makes being one and creating this little family all that much more of a choice.
Also: “I - oh hell I will,” he said, reaching for her. “I love you, you stubborn -”
YES.

[anuna_81]

I am SO HAPPY you liked it!!

Yess, with these two things are just delicate. Not necessarily complicated, but human and raw and sensitive and require lot of thinking and tact and well yes, that's complicated. My first idea was full on relationship, but I realized this way would be better. It gives them more room for choices, and just as you said, they decided to create their family which is a powerful and amazing thing. They're all about choices to me. :)
