Clint shook his head against Natasha's shoulder so she would feel it. As uncertain as this whole thing still was for them and partly would be until the end of the pregnancy... This at least he could say without the slightest of doubt.
"I've never left you alone, Nat. Unless you send me away one day, I'm with you, no matter what. You know me."
He backed away from her enough to give her a weak smile.
"Much too stubborn to give up, remember? We'll just... hope for the best."
Very slowly, still hesitating, one of his hands went from her back to her stomach, ready to pull away anytime if she wasn't comfortable.
"This is... still pretty freaky, you know. But in a good way."
