Feels Like Home
Natasha had enjoyed the break from being pregnant, but if she had to admit it she missed her own body. It wasn't because her husband didn't have a good body, he did and Natasha had appreciated every inch on many occasions, but it didn't feel like home. It felt different and not quite right.

There were very noticeable differences between men and women and Natasha still wasn't used to some of them. She would swear that a certain part of a man's body definitely had a mind of its own and Natasha had found herself in an uncomfortable position a few times. Looking at other men no less. She could just imagine what people thought at Tony Stark staring at men. Though there was something to be said about being able to pee standing up.

Quite frankly she was tired of women slipping her their phone numbers wherever she went. She had a wife crying out loud. Did these women have no shame? There were a few who had practically thrown themselves at her. It had taken a lot of restraint not to do something that would make them and her regret their own actions.

Even though pregnancy was uncomfortable for the most part, Natasha did miss certain things about it. Definitely not the back pain or the swollen feet and ankles, but she did miss feeling the baby move. Okay, so maybe not the kicks, but feeling a growing life moving inside of you was something special. She missed it.

They hadn't had any luck finding Stephen. According to the Defenders he had vanished in a fight with Dormammu. Definitely not good news and November was quickly approaching. They had to find some way to switch back before Nick decided to make his entrance into the world. She did not want to deal with Tony in labor. No amount of chocolate or coffee existed to deal with that.

When they finally did switch back, Tony was going to kill her. She had put about ten pounds of weight on his body. She blamed it on the chocolate and sympathy eating. Well in her defense she didn't know when this was going to end and she wouldn't be allowed much chocolate until after the baby was born.

Natasha yawned and looked at the clock. It was getting late and she knew she wasn't going to sleep well. Not with Tony tossing and turning all night in between the many trips to the bathroom. She appreciated her husband even more after realizing how much a pregnant person moved about at night. Not once had the man complained about it during the whole pregnancy.

Natasha yawned and turned off the lights in the penthouse and then made her way to the bedroom.

	"I was hoping that Nick would play football," she said. "You know, be the star quarterback and date the head cheerleader." She shadowed him as he made his way to the bed. At this stage coordination and balance were not good and he was in a strange body on top of it. It never hurt to be careful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If we weren't absolutely sure it was just one, I would say you were jinxing us. But as for the name, just realize that I'm the correct one here and go with it." There was a smirk as she helped him into bed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My love, if we were talking a covert ops mission, I might agree. In this case, however, /you/ should be the one to give up and go with it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Always," she said. "When have I ever been wrong?" Natasha slipped out of his clothes and moved around the bed to crawl in next to her husband. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, there was the time about the horseradish, followed by the time about the relish. There's that whole Zero-Point Energy issue, followed by letting Anya try to make me Father's Day breakfast when she was nine." Tony says, ticking off fingers and chuckling. "Shall I go on or do we just want to talk to Eddie?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-09-22 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, Mr. Stark. Let's clear up a few things. I am right about horseradish and relish. They are gross. There was no Zero Point Energy issue. You didn't know how to change a diaper. As for Anya cooking, we were prepared for the fire." Tasha harumphed. "Okay, Mr. Know It All. Fix this problem we have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony will not claim victory. He feels Tasha's willingness to move on to a new subject is evidence enough.

"I propose that his name be Edward James Stark, based on the irrefutable proof that being reminded of Nick Fury every single day will make my hair gray prematurely. I know you and Fury are friends. I know you two have that whole spy-buddy thing going. But really, I'm not asking to name him Pepper or Rhodey, so Nick should be off the table." Tony says.

	"I wasn't talking about the name thing," she clarified. "I was referring to this...being in each other's bodies. As for the name thing, I already gave ground on it. He won't have a proper Russian name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh. Okay, then. What were we doing the night this happened? Maybe if we do it like before, we can get ourselves back into our regular bodies? Magic isn't my strongest subject, Red. I blind people with science." Tony says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha just looked at him. "Did you just really say that?" The urge to facepalm was great, but she resisted. Somehow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Wait a second. Before switch back...I have your body! I must indulge myself in one more activity before we can change back." he says, moving around to start looking for a tape recorder.

"Moose and squirrel." he says. "Moose...and squirrel. Don't you hear how hot that sounds, Tasha? Moose and squirrel! You should say this all the time."

He seems rather giddy about this development.

"You really do have a death wish, don't you?" she asked not finding any amusement in this what so ever. She wouldn't shoot him while he was in her body, but she may just shoot him right after they switch back.

"Back to the problem at hand," she said. Yes, there was an edge in her voice. "/Your/ son was going through an active bout of kicking when I had the thought it would be nice just once to have you know what pregnancy felt like."

"Oh, so he's /my/ son when he's pounding away at your innards, but he's your son when he's relaxed or wants French fries?" Tony asks.

"When he blows something up to see the science behind it, he's totally /your/ son." Tony says. He finds his tape recorder and says a few "Moose and Squirrel" tracks into it, just to make sure he has the info on tape.

He also reminds himself to hide Tasha's gun after she falls asleep tonight, right before he uploads the sound bite to YouTube.

"So...I should wish for you to feel something I feel? Because there's a very long list of things I can come up with." Tony says.

"I mean, you know what pregnancy feels like, so that may not work..."

	"Correct," she said. "But when he wants to see the science behind something, he's totally /your/ son. Science is your department." "How about wishing to be back in your own body?" Though she doubted it would work. It had to be something more than simply wishing for something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wish I was back in my own body." Tony says, obliging Tasha and hoping that works. When it doesn't, however, Tony contents himself with a few more "Moose and Squirrels" before considering another option. "There has to be a key to this somewhere." Tony says, thinking.

	Yes, her husband was going to get shot as soon as he was back in his body. "I was wearing the ring and it didn't happen right away. Remember we woke up the next morning like this?" Then again she didn't expect him to remember much from the trauma of suddenly being in another body and flooded with pregnancy hormones. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-09-23 02:48 am UTC (link)
	"So...you think we should make the wish and sleep on it? Do you think we'll be able to sleep while waiting for to happen?" he asks. Tony might be able to if he counts "Moose" and "Squirrel" in his head, because Tasha doesn't look like she's enjoying the sound of her voice saying such things. "I'm willing to try it if you are. Where's the ring?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2010-09-23 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Natasha shrugged. "It seemed to work last time," she said as she opened the drawer to the nightstand. She pulled out the ring and handed it to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tony takes the ring and kisses his wife, slipping it on his finger.

"I wish I could have my beautiful wife back in her body, because she's the strongest, most amazing woman I know. And I wouldn't have been able to survive this with any other woman by my side.

I also wish she would say 'Moose and Squirrel' for me just one time, so if you've got enough juice left over after you switch us back, please consider me on this." Tony says quickly.

	Natasha kissed him. "Go to sleep funny man. With any luck we'll be back in our own bodies and I won't want to shoot you. I love you Anthony." (Reply to this)(Parent)
