It was surprising how quickly Clint fell back asleep until she remembered something he had said last night, that he would “down a pill or too” if he needed to. She didn’t know when he had taken a moment to do so but she was pretty certain that must have been what he’d done.

While he slept Natasha watched the minutes ticking by, her hand rubbing soft circles over her stomach. Just the heat of her hand seemed to help and she made a mental note about checking into a hot water bottle or something else warm that she could hold against her stomach in times like this.

She thought about getting up and trying to do something to pass the time, but if Clint awoke alone she knew he would feel guilty for having slept while she couldn’t. Eventually she closed her eyes and just listened to him breathing, though no matter how much it helped she couldn’t keep from checking the clock every few minutes.
