On Christmas morning Natasha woke up of the loud knocking on their bedroom door.

"It's present time!" Pietro says, "Get off your lazy ass and come downstairs!"

"Good morning to you too." Steve mumbles and sat up in the bed.

"Morning." Natasha says and kissed Steve's cheek.

"Hi." Steve says, "Let's go downstairs and open some presents."

"Yeah, I'm really excited to see what you got me." Natasha says and hopped off the bed.

The two put on some sweatpants and sweaters and walked downstairs hand in hand. Once they came in the living room, Wanda pushed them both a mug of hot chocolate in their hands.

"Merry Christmas!" Wanda says

"You too, sis." Steve says

Steve and Natasha sat on the couch and Steve wrapped his arm around Natasha so she could cuddle beside him.

They started to unwrap their presents and Natasha and Steve were the last ones.

"I have to get your gift from Wanda's car, so I'll be right back." Natasha says

Natasha and Wanda left the room and Steve quietly sipped his chocolate.

"She's great." Joseph says

"You think so?" Steve asks

"Yes! She's the perfect girl for you, you two make a lovely couple." Sarah says

"She's awesome." Bucky says

"Yeah, she is." Steve says

"I really hope you two get married someday, I believe she is the one for you." Sarah says

Steve just nodded and looked at his mug. He really hates it to burst his parents hopes about him marrying Natasha, but what they have is fake, all based on a lie Steve made up.

"We're back!" Wanda says

Natasha walked into the room holding a giant teddy bear the size of herself.

"Wauw." Steve says

"You like it?" Natasha says

"I love it." Steve says, "Thank you so much."

"I'm just gonna put it here, since it's really heavy." Natasha says and put the bear beside the couch.

"Now Steve, what do you got for Natasha?" Sarah asks

Steve grabbed Natasha's gift from under the Christmas tree and sat beside Natasha on the couch.

"Here it is." Steve says and handed Natasha the box.

Natasha unwrapped it and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful necklace, the chain was made from silver and the pendant was a small square diamond.

"Is this real?" Natasha asks

"Of course it is." Steve says

"This is way too expensive." Natasha says

"Not for my girl." Steve says

"What is it?" Wanda asks

"Let me put it on you." Steve says

"Okay." Natasha says and held her hair away from her neck. She shivered when the cold chain was placed around her neck.

"It looks stunning." Sarah says

"It's so beautiful." Wanda says

"Thank you so much, Steve." Natasha says

"Anything for you." Steve says and pushed a hair out of Natasha's face, then he pecked her lips.

"Awwh." Wanda says

"Okay, let's have breakfast." Sarah says

"Did you make pancakes?" Pietro asks

"Of course." Sarah says

Pietro sprinted out of the room and ran into the dining room.

"Let's go." Steve says and pulled Natasha up from the couch.

Hours past and it's was a calm, but festive day. Natasha and Steve laid on their bed cuddling before getting changed for Christmas dinner.

"I'm gonna miss this once this trip is over." Natasha says

"Me too." Steve says, "At least we still got one week left."

"Yeah, one week without work, without stressing about my boss his crazy idea's, without the New York City traffic." Natasha says

"I hate the traffic." Steve says

"The morning sucks." Natasha says

"Exactly." Steve says

"It's so quiet in this town, so peaceful and kind." Natasha says, "Must have been nice growing up here."

"It was." Steve says, "But if I haven't moved, I wouldn't have met you."

"Awwh." Natasha says and hugged Steve's waist.

"We should get ready for dinner, it's a pretty big deal." Steve says

"Yeah, but you're so warm." Natasha says

"I know." Steve says and kissed her head.

Steve and Natasha got changed into their outfits. Steve wore a nice suit and Natasha wore a short black dress with spaghetti straps. They walked downstairs and the house was already a bit crowded and slow music was being played.

"This is fancy." Natasha whispers to Steve.

"I know." Steve whispers back, "Champagne?"

"Yes, please." Natasha says

Steve handed Natasha a champagne glass and she took a sip.

"Who's ready to party?" A loud voice was heard coming through the front door.

Natasha choked on her champagne, she could recognize that voice anywhere. The loud 'good mornings' everyday. Oh, shit.

"Tony!" Steve says

"Hey man!" Tony says and hugged Steve. "Natasha? What the hell are you doing here? Weren't you going on a vacation with your boyfriend?"

"Yes!" Natasha says, "I am."

"Since when are you dating Steve? I thought you were dating..." Tony says, but Natasha cut him off.

"No, pretty sure I said it was Steve." Natasha says

"U-huh." Tony says

"Auntie Nat!" Peter says and ran away from his mother to his other favorite female.

"Hey kid!" Natasha says and hugged Peter.

"How do you two know each other?" Steve asks

"Natasha is my wonderful assistant." Tony says

"Yeah." Natasha says

"Oh." Steve says

"Well isn't this great, I'm celebrating Christmas with my favorite people." Tony says

"Mhm, great." Natasha says and drank her whole glass empty.

"Let's catch up, pal." Steve says, "Excuse us."

Steve and Tony left, Peter ran over to the other kids and Pepper stood beside Natasha.

"So... Steve?" Pepper says

"Mhm." Natasha says

"You're full of shit." Pepper says

"Oh, yeah." Natasha says

"What happened with Matt?" Pepper asks

"He cheated on me, then I met Steve in a bar." Natasha says

"And how did you end up here?" Pepper asks

"Well... Steve and I had a one night stand and then the next morning his mother and sister stormed into his apartment and saw us, and Steve may have lied to his parents and told them he was dating someone, so they thought I was his girlfriend and we just went with it." Natasha says

"So you two have been lying ever since you arrived here?" Pepper asks

"Yeah." Natasha says, "We know it's wrong, but Steve really doesn't want to get set up by his mom with some girl."

"Understandable." Pepper says, "So what do you think of Steve?"

"He's great." Natasha says

"Boyfriend material?" Pepper asks

"I'm not ready for that again, Matt broke my heart not even a week ago, I want to take sometime for myself before I get back out there." Natasha says

"Well who knows, maybe you'll just meet someone randomly." Pepper says
