Spring in Moscow
Natasha walked slowly through the elaborate gardens on the palace grounds. Her nephew Mikhail had wanted her to sit in on a meeting, but the day was too lovely to not be outside. The sun was a balmy 60 degrees. Natasha smiled as she inhaled the perfumed air and soaked up the warm sunlight. Bright flowers in bloom surrounded her and added to the tranquility of the gardens.

It was much better than sitting in on a meeting.

She had used her pregnancy as an excuse and told her nephew she wanted to nap for awhile. Jet lag and pregnancy not mixing well or something along those lines.

The beautiful setting of the gardens helped to take her mind off of Ivan. The old man's health was in decline and Natasha worried about him. He was in his nineties and still had a sharp mind, but time was catching up to him. His body was beginning to fail him and Natasha and Ivan both knew he didn't have much time left.

There was a tightness in Natasha's chest at the thought of losing Ivan. He had been with her for her entire life and she couldn't imagine life without him. Ivan had been her only family for many decades. He was the only father she had ever known. He was a grandfather to her children.

She was so enmeshed in her inner thoughts she almost didn't notice the small fluttering feeling in her abdomen.

Natasha stopped walking and concentrated. She couldn't have been imagining it. There. Another one. Natasha smiled. The baby was moving and she just felt it for the first time. She just wished Tony could have been here for this. Still smiling, Natasha started walking again.

	"I'm happier about this one. It means less pressure on us and a lot less complications," she told him. Taking the throne was something she didn't want to do again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. So I'll be going back tomorrow after I see Grandpa Ivan again. Any messages or butt kickings you'd like me to pass on if I don't see you before then?" He probably would, but he heard pregnant women spend a lot of time napping and resting, and disturbing Mom was unthinkable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're going to have breakfast tomorrow," she told him. There was no way he was going to get away without seeing her again. "But tell them I love them all and I will be home in a few days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes ma'am." He smiled at her tone of voice. "I will. Take your time and enjoy the visit. You have your husband here, no kids to interrupt for a few more months, you should enjoy it while you can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I miss New York," she said. "It's time to go home." While she had been born in this country, home would always be New York. It was where her family was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes ma'am," he said again with a smile. If he'd said the sky was blue, Mom would point out that it was black at night. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to fly out with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay. I slept almost the whole way," she said. "The only thing you missed here were boring state dinners and politics." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I missed being here to support you and do my share of the royal family duties. It's important. I can't ignore the fact that I might still be here in a hundred years and need to take a more active role in things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it," she said. "Like I said, you didn't miss much. I didn't come here for that anyway. I came to see Grandpa Ivan. He was good reason to miss a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He looked away toward the hearth. It was the middle of summer and there were logs on the grate with a basket of kindling nearby just in case. If he happened to start a fire himself, the servants that took care of the family would give him reproachful looks as if he were the Evil American there to take their jobs. He only tried not to be much of a bother and uphold his responsibilities no matter which country he was in.

"I'll see him tonight," he said, reiterating his plans. "Are you going to rest until dinner?"

	"I think I'll arrange for dinner in his suite. You, me and Grandpa Ivan. How does that sound? And yes, I'm going to nap. I've been up since sunrise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds good to me." He reached out for her hand. "You can invite your husband, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-07-25 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Natasha squeezed his hand. "Why don't you invite him?" Things between Tony and Misha hadn't always been smooth and the little things went a long way. "I'll go talk to the chef and discuss food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-07-25 06:27 am UTC (link)
	He'd walked right into that one. "I'll ask. As for the chef, you know I'll eat anything put in front of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-07-25 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Natasha kissed his cheek. "I love you. Now, I have a chef to talk to. I'll see you later." (Reply to this)(Parent)
