(Spoilers!! Current timeline: post infinity war)

Steve

"Wanda!! " Natasha sat up from deep sleep, her hand raised, as if trying to catch something. She had a bad dream, again.

"Nat" I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her temple, "Its just a dream "

She looked at me, tears in her eyes, her breaths were heavy, she was sweating.

"No, Steve. It's not just a dream. She is gone. Really gone. Our daughter is gone" she said, crying. She put her head on my chest and cried and I pat her shoulder in support.

She was acting brave, but deep down, I knew what affect it had on her. She really loved Wanda, as our daughter. She trained her, looked after her, even scolded her, like a mother would. And Sam, he was a brother to both of us. Natasha had lost so much that her grief was much more.

We lay down, and I calmed her to sleep again. Hoping that the dreams would eventually stop, and all this won't affect our coming baby.

I checked my phone for time and saw Rhodey's text.

Arrive at the facility, as soon as possible.

I sighed, we had to go, I kissed Natasha's forehead and waited. We can wait till she completes her sleep.

"Did he say why? " She asked as we got into the quinjet.

"No, he didn't say anything else. It must be important " I said.

"Yeah, what if it has to do with Tony. Oh God!! " she started rubbing her hands in nervousness again.

Two months had passed since our departure from Wakanda. We tried to contact Clint but there was no response, Natasha was almost convinced that he was gone too. I kept showing her the text that she received. He had texted to tell her he was fine, back when it all happened. But she kept saying, what if he vanished after the text.

I helped her sit into the pilot's seat. She was five months pregnant now, she was already showing.

"Just keep breathing " I said, and she nodded.

"Steve, Tony would be fine" she said.

"Are you assuring me? Asking? Or assuring yourself? " I was confused. Tony was a sensitive point for both of us.

"I don't know" she said.

We arrived at the avengers facility and walked towards the gate.

"Nat?! " We saw Clint walking towards us.

"Clint" she rushed to him.

"Woah, woah, slow down" he said. He had changed, his hair were different, his face was tired.

Natasha hugged him and cried, "Why didn't you reply? Where the hell were you? "

"You've put on so much weight" he changed the topic.

"Shut up!! " she pulled back, "I'm not fat. This is your nephew in here" she pointed at her belly.

"Nephew?! " he chuckled, "Oh my God, Nat? Are you? " he was crying with happiness.

Natasha nodded, and they hugged again.

"Hey Cap" he came to me now, "you really did complete her"

I blushed. "What's the rush? Rhodes called us urgent" I said.

"I guess, I am" we heard him say and turned to face him. My heart sank, eyes lowered, how can I face him?

"Tony? " Natasha smiled and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Oh gosh, you seem to be ahead of Pepper" he said as they hugged.

"Its a boy" I said as Pepper bombarded me with questions.

"Oh my God, that's amazing. I don't know about ours yet" she said, "Names? "

"James Edwards Rogers" I said and we both looked at Tony.

"Naming your son after me to compensate, Rogers? " He said.

"Tony, I" Steve tried to speak.

"No, shush! We are way past that, he is gone, and so are many others. You people are all that we have left" he said.

"Can you at least accept my apology? " Steve asked.

"Didn't I already? " Steve said looking into his eyes.

For a moment they were both quiet, and then they hugged and cried like two little children who make up after a fight on toys.

"I'm sorry" Steve said.

"Yeah, me too" Tony said.

"I hate crying boys" Pepper said and I smiled.

We all sat down and Tony told us about everything that happened in space. Thor walked in with the talking raccoon, who looked miserable.

"We would avenge the deaths of our loved ones" Thor announced.

"It will take sometime to figure out, how" Tony said.

"How are Laura and the kids? " I asked, turning to face Clint. His face lost all colors, and I felt as if someone pierced my heart. No!!

"They didn't? " I asked, as tears flowed through my eyes, and he moved his head in negative, trying to hide his tears from me.

"He knew" I said, as everyone was discussing.

They all turned to face me. "When Okoye and I were charging at him. He threw me into soil, trapping me, but making sure my landing was safe. I was shielded away from the fight. He had this look. Before he... He knew I was pregnant " I said.

"Thanos? " Bruce asked, and I nodded.

"Why would he protect our child? " Steve asked.

"He has a twisted mind. He knew me, he said he respects me" Tony rolled his eyes.

"I can find him and kill him easily " Thor said in rage.

"That's not the solution, Thor" The raccoon spoke up, "We lost our families. Just killing him would do it? He gave us pain. He should suffer from the pain too. "

"He doesn't have anything to loose" A girl said. She wasn't quite human, more like a robot. But she sounded normal.

"Then we make him go through the pain of failure" Tony said.

"How? " the raccoon said, "he has already succeeded. How can we possibly make him face failure now?!! " he yell.

I closed my eyes and put my hand on my belly. I just wanted my baby to come healthy and safe. There wasn't anything that could be done now. We should try and move on. And this selfish thought brought back the memory of Wanda and I couldn't force the nausea back down.

Steve followed me as I rushed to the washroom to puke.
