Previously...

"Nat" Yelena's voice says, Nat hums, and Yelena takes a deep breath.

"Mum kicked me out because I'm a little" Yelena reveals.

Nat just strokes her hand over Yelena's head

"I'm so sorry mladenec"

....

Natasha wakes up, and notices the cold feeling near her legs. She has to give her eyes a few minutes to adjust to the light shining through the curtain, and as she pulls back the blanket she releases a sigh. 

"Yel? Dorogoy, wake up, you've wet the bed" Natasha whispers, and Yelena seems to jump awake at hearing that, her eyes well up with tears when she realises that she did in fact wet herself.

"I sorry" she says, Natasha notices the slur "Yelena? are you little right now, I'm not mad with you, I just need to know so I can get some stuff for you. Yelena just looks up, her bottom lip trembling, tears flowing down her cheeks. Natasha holds her arms open and Yelena flings herself at her older sister "sowwy" she sobs into Natasha's ear. "Oh, yel. Let's get you all cleaned up okay, how about a quick shower and then we can go get some food, Yelena nods with her head tucked into Nats neck.

Natasha stands up of the bed, walking over to her closet to grab a change of clothes for both of them before carrying the girl into the bathroom.

Yelena strips and Natasha does the same before climbing into the shower- which they had thankfully turned on before- the warm water hitting against their skin. While in the shower Natasha started to talk "how old are you right new lena?" Yelena looks deep in thought before speaking "one" Nat nods in understanding then she turns Yelena to look at her, the innocent eyes reflecting with confusion "Natty?" she questions "Yelena, my friends live here dorogoy. Do you want to be big around them or do you just want me to tell them?" Natasha asks softly, making sure that Yelena knows that she's not judging her either way "'ell 'em" she whispers, almost lisp like.

"okay dorogoy, let's get out now. You need some food in that tummy of yours" Natasha teases while tickling her stomach, Yelena giggles and attempts to cover her stomach from Natasha's hands "'top, Natty, 'top it" she musters out, that is between the gasps and giggles.

"okay, I'll stop. You think about what you want to eat while we get dress" Natasha says, retracting her hands from her sisters stomach. Yelena nods her head and practically jumps out of the shower, resulting in a worried "watch your step babygirl" which makes Yelena freeze "I babygirl?" she questions and Natasha nods. Yelena just happily claps her hands, even when Natasha was trying to pull a new outfit on her she just wouldn't stop clapping.

Natasha doesn't mind though.

Yelena is squirming in Natasha's arms, not because she want's to get down, no she's squirming like a little worm because she was told she could watch Tv.

"Malysh, stop squirming you little monkey. Or the tickle monster will have to get you again" Natasha jokingly threats, and it works.

Although as they get closer to the kitchen, and the talking voices, Yelena tenses in her arms, Natasha is close to putting the girl down, thinking that she is scared to be little but Yelena jus turns to her older sister "what if no like Lena?" she asks, a small frown gracing her soft features. Natasha looks at Yelena, pressing a kiss to her forehead before speaking " Yelena, babygirl. You are such a perfect princess. They'll love you, no matter your age." she convinces the girl, who then starts to babble to herself, muttering about a Disney princess and then swapping to the Russian alphabet.

They walk into the kitchen, Yelena happily talking to Natasha while swinging her legs next to Natasha's. "Romanoff, little Russian" Tony greets, not knowing how accurate his nickname for Yelena is. Natasha ushers Yelena off to watch Tv, then, once the girl was out of the reach of hearing, she turns towards the others who had looks of confusion, "ask away."

The questions are fired at Nat too quick "slow down. One at a time" she then points to Tony to ask "What happened last night?" he questions, unsure whether or not he can ask that "um, so this is answering two questions technically if you were going to ask about just before." she pauses, and others give her a nod. "Okay, Yelena like a said is my sister, and she was staying with my fake mum- who is a total bitch- and she's must have told Melina that she is a little or she slipped or something but she kicked Yelena out. That's why she was here last night. After we finished doing the ballet we had a bath and went to bed." She stops for a moment, then she starts to speak again "And this morning she slipped, over night I'm going to assume and now I actually need to ask you a favour stark. Can I buy some stuff for Lena, such as diapers, pacifiers, some toys, I don't know if you'd want me to not have any of the stuff in the tower" Natasha asks the older man "It's fine, buy the little one everything she needs. Right now though I think somebody is hungry" he tells Nat, who turns to look at her sister who was chewing on her fingers.

"Yeah. I think you're right." Natasha agrees "Lena? what do you want eat? I can make you pancakes if you want?" Natasha yells into the living room, Yelena's head pops up, hand still in her mouth and she lets a delighted squeal "an'akes" her hands move just to clap in excitement. Natasha laughs at the reaction "yes pancakes dorogoy" she confirms with the girl.

Before walking back towards the stove and grabbing the stuff she needs for the pancakes, she sees the stunned faces of her teammates "why are you staring at me like that?" she questions, the others don't say anything so she decides to whack Tony on the head "ow, what the fuck!" he exclaims "Language!" Steve yells back. Loud enough to get Yelena's attention. She slowly padded over to the kitchen "Natty? loud noise" she whimpers out while covering her ears. Natasha glares at the super solider "oh, maylshka, come here" Natasha coos at the girl, who has tears brimming in her eyes, she moves closer before lifting her arms in the air, that's when she notices the wet spot on the shorts she is wearing, thankfully the shorts are black so he others can't see. "Clint will you finish the pancakes while I go do something? Also Tony I'll sort your sofa after" Natasha apologies to Tony and just gives a small shrug to Clint before carrying the girl, who's head was tucked into Nat's neck safely. 

Tony turns his head towards his sofa, already guessing what has happened, he feels sympathy for the younger Russian "oh, Steve, you really scared the poor girl" Tony mutters. The sofa was now covered in a wet spot that could only be one thing, urine. 

"FRIDAY?" he questions the AI

"Yes Mr Stark, how might I be of assistance?" The artificial intelligence asks back

"Please get hold of one of the cleaners, tell them that there has been an accident and the sofa now needs cleaning." Tony orders, the robot replies with "right away Mr Stark"
