Natasha was trying to comfort him and he made sure to press her thigh softly in return but he couldn't bring himself to smile. The tension between them was unbearable though neither of them wanted it. He knew it was the better decision, that he wouldn't have wanted to be stuck in the middle of the city, feeling like his mind had been turned inside out. But he wouldn't exactly consider this drive the best of his life either.
He was more than relieved when he could finally park the car and get out in the quickly warming morning sun. The kitten hat withdrawn to the very end of the small basket when he got it out from the floor carefully, obviously afraid. He could feel another little part of his heart break, but he did his best to ignore it. On a scale from worrying about his partner being either sick or pregnant, a scared animal was still pretty low on the list right now.
"Can you please bring the bags from the trunk, Nat? The meds shouldn't stay in the heat."
He brought his passenger straight to the bathroom, just taking a blanket from the sofa with him on the way. Maybe the already familiar smell of both of them would help little one to feel a little better. He spread it in the bathtub before putting the basket in and opening it for the kitten to come out on its own, whenever she wanted to. For today he had earned himself enough scratches.
He thought about putting a few more of these treats in the tub, but he really wasn't sure he could live with this awful wait for even another second. So he ended up on the sofa instead, waiting for Natasha to join him. Waiting for the inevitable.
