A CIVIL WAR UPON US

Capítulo 14

Another month passed, Natasha is 5 month pregnant, fighting as she can to keep the pregnancy. The doctors still induce her into coma when she feels too much pain and she stays unconscious for days and she come back weaker every time. But Natasha also had days of improvement, that made her believe she could go home.

Whenever she felt well, Natasha walked around the room, but that was enough to make her feel sick again or have some bleeding. Cho threatened to tie her to the bed, if she didn't behave.

N: I hate hospitals. Mostly this.

S: But they treat you well here, Nat.

N: Too much well, I would say.

S: A good treat doesn't hurt.

N: Ouch!

Natasha said. Steve stood up, worried.

S: What?

N: The baby kicked me.

S: Really? Did you felt?

N: If I said so... Ouch!

The baby kicked again.

N: Okay... He's agitated.

Steve still looked worried.

N: Don't you want to feel?

Steve understood that it was normal for the baby move like that.

N: Come here, give me your hand.

Natasha lifted her sweater and put Steve's hand over her belly but now the baby was quiet.

N: I think he got tired.

S: So unfair.

Steve made a sad face and Natasha imitated his face.

S: Carol and Jess are organizing a baby shower.

N: What?

S: I forgot to tell you. Sam told Carol, who told Jess, who told Wanda...

N: Now everybody knows.

S: Yes. Thor broke five dishes celebrating the news.

Natasha tried to smile.

S: Why is that face? It's gonna be okay.

N: I'm afraid.

S: Of what? They are our friends.

N: I know, but don't delay this news to get our enemies.

S: He kicked, I felt! I felt!

Natasha smiled, but her eyes denoted concern.

S: Stark put two guards at the door. I agreed.

N: Now it's calling more attention. Good job.

S: Be optimistic.

Steve checked his watch.

N: You're late for something, Rogers?

S: Actually I am, Tony with that registration is taking my nights of sleep away.

Natasha was silent for a few seconds.

N: You can go.

S: Sam is coming to stay with you. He is late.

N: Oh God, you can go anyway.

S: I don't want to leave you alone.

H: She is not alone.
