So about that quiet retirement....
Natasha was in the kitchen and opening the boxes that had been delivered earlier in the day. She had been too tired earlier to do it and she wanted to get this stuff unpacked before she forgot about it. A pregnancy meant shopping and she had been doing just that. Babies need a lot of things and Natasha did love shopping.

The Internet was a wonderful thing and made that shopping all that much easier. She had been extremely tired lately and the idea of going out and dealing with people wasn't that appealing. The urge to shoot someone would be too great to resist. It was easier to buy online and have it delivered.

She looked at the clock. It was almost eight pm. Tony should be home soon. She hoped. Since getting the company back, he had spent more time at the office than he had at home. Natasha didn't mind. She was tired and cranky and he was a workaholic. It worked out.

She continued to unpack the boxes.

Natasha was mildly surprised her husband hadn't picked up on any of the clues about her condition. Normally her husband was a step ahead of everyone else, but with all that was going on with the company, she wasn't surprised he was a bit distracted. Tonight. She'd tell him tonight. Then came the hard part. Telling the kids.

	That makes her pause. "Really?" If anything he would never stop surprising her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah..." There's a goofy grin on his face. "Don't ask me why. I might lose it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled. "Good. Because I'm too old to go through this alone." She tossed the soaking wet paper towels in the sink for the moment and then started picking up the pieces of the coffee mug. "How do you want to tell the kids?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"With a bullet proof vest for Misha." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Despite the reality of it, she did laugh a little. "Divide and conquer? I'll tell my son and you tell our daughter? James and Eliza won't be a problem. Or they shouldn't be." She sighed and felt like a large weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "Are we completely insane for doing this again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh no. I'm not leaving you to face him alone. I want to see the look on his face." Devious? Yes. It's a parental right. "My suggestion? Tell the other kids. Swear them to secrecy. Tell him last and watch him complain to an echo chamber for a change. I love the kid. I do. He just acts ten at family meetings and I want this to be good news." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then let me tell him first. And if I do it alone, there won't be any bullets flying." Misha wouldn't have the urge to hurt her. That was saved for when he was brainwashed. "I think our daughter may have the stronger reaction. After all, she was the one who left the box of condom and a note saying not to be complete idiots." (Reply to this)(Parent)
