Drabble challenge 39

39. “I forgot I was a single parent.”

Rating: GWords: 440

Stef used her key to unlock and open the apartment door before stepping inside the somewhat crowded living room. Play mats and toys littered the floor. Three carrier baskets held sleeping babies, while on the couch slept Clint and Mia.

The young woman smiled and quietly shut the door. Days like this made everything feel so right, and yet she still felt so unsure. But right now maybe she could just… pretend.

She tip-toed her way to the kitchen. After spending the day with her father, she felt confident in her ability to make something. Her cooking wouldn’t compare to Bucky’s yet without supervision, but that was okay. They all had had worse things to eat.

It felt so normal, so… perfect. By the time anyone had woken up to join her, she had nearly finished making dinner.

“Hey, didn’t know you were home at first,” Mia yawned. She blinked when she realized what Stef was doing. “You made dinner?”

“Oh. Yeah.” Stef turned off the stove once it was done cooking and peeked over.

“That’s great, Stef. Thanks.” Coming closer, she looked at the other woman’s face and asked, “What’s wrong? You’re frowning. Was it supposed to be a surprise?”

“No, sorry. Just… I forgot I was a single parent for a few minutes, that’s all.”

“Stef…”

“Sorry,” she said again, going to a cabinet to start getting plates.

Mia watched her. “You still think you aren’t with us?”

“I do live with you,” Stef replied.

“No.” Mia blushed and glanced away. “I mean, really with us. You even let Clint in the bed with us now.”

“He’s your husband.”

With a shake of her head, Mia gave a sigh. “Honey, we thought you actually wanted to be a part of us. Otherwise you’d be in a separate room.”

“You really mean it?”

“I do. I’ve always meant it, Stef. I would never lie to you about how I feel - and neither would Clint.”

“O-oh. Okay.”

“So… um.”

“Uh, food’s done.”

“Yeah.” Nodding, Mia added, “I’ll get Clint, and -”

“We’ll talk more later?” Stef finished for her.

“Yeah. But we actually will, not just say we will and then don’t like your parents do. Anyway, I’m gonna go get him.” Mia left the kitchen to go grab Clint.

Stef stood there holding plates while she thought about what Mia said. Did she really want to believe this could all be real? Yes. But did she think that was going to be the case?

That was a question that might always haunt her, but maybe, just maybe, she could try believing Mia and Clint this time. At least or now.

Doorstop-Mia

The sun wasn’t quite up yet, but Stef didn’t want to stay in her room anymore. She had had another nightmare and decided to just get up for another day so she wouldn’t have to worry about possibly having another. Opening her door, she paused when she found Mia sleeping on the other side of it.

She knelt beside her, giving the other woman a gentle nudge. “Mia, wake up. What are you doing here?”

Drabble/oneshot 32 Stef

32. That’s not how I said to do it, do it again

Rating: PGWords: 357

There were cords and wires going from the arm to a separate power source nearby. Stef slowly formed a fist with the hands, watching it move flawlessly. She liked it. It was far better than the original arm.

“I’m telling you, it’s a great idea,” she heard Tony say to her father. He was talking about the Stark upgrade he gave the new arm. “It’s perfect for self defense.”

“Tony, it’s not like your freakin’ suit,” Bucky sighed in frustration. “She can’t just remove her arm when there’s no need for it; she’s a mom now!”

“Which is why she needs protection!” Tony argued.

“Kitten, that’s what the metal arm itself is for.”

Stef watched them coming into view, Bucky obviously looking so done with the argument already. “Puppy daddy,” she called to him, “it’s okay. I actually like the idea of being able to blast people like Tony.”

“You see?” Tony said. “She’s not that worried.”

Bucky shook his head as he folded his arms. “Fine… if you’re really sure about it, babydoll.”

“Yup, I am,” Stef answered him as Tony came up to her.

“Okay,” he said, checking all of the connections to the arm before he stepped away. “JARVIS, set up a target for her.”

“Of course, sir,” JARVIS replied, bringing up an easy to see, glowing target.

Bucky cautiously watched as Tony explained how to work the weaponized arm. He still didn’t like this idea; too much of a potential cost if something were to go disastrously wrong, but neither of them were going to listen. He almost felt he should drop to his knees and pray that the children wouldn’t get killed by an accidental blast from the hand. Sure Tony thought it was safe; he built the thing, knew it inside and out. Stef on the other hand…

She fired, or tried to fire, an experimental shot at the target, but unfortunately, to them, nothing happened.

“Stef, that’s not how I said to do it,” Tony calmly told her. “Do it again, alright?”

Bucky slowly exhaled a breath he had been holding. He really had a bad feeling about all this.

Married Plus One

Thank you @polyshipprompts for the inspiration!

persons a and b of your ot3 are married or engaged, and person c gets really insecure about it at times a and b notice and reassure c that they want c there

Stef quietly watched from her seat on the couch as a few of Clint's tenants came around to congratulate him on finally catching himself a wife, oohing and ahhing over Mia's ring. Sure, legally Mia was Clint's wife, but what did that make her? Deep down she knew that the couple loved her just as much as they loved each other, but times like this, she wondered if giving into her feelings for Mia and finding she cared for Clint as well had been a mistake. People gave them all confused looks when they explained that Stef was an equal member in their relationship, though not legally allowed to be recognized as such.

There were days it was fine; they all functioned as a single unified force as they dealt with Renata with her teenaged drama and oversaw the renovations to what would be their home after the troubles were dealt with and it was safe to move out of Tony's place.

Stef absently ran a hand over her swollen belly. Her due date was a couple months away and the little human inside her was being quite active as he came closer to meeting his family. She could do without the constant beating of her insides, but it would be worth it to finally see her son. She'd probably never know who her child's biological father was (oh, Tony could probably run a test or something and find out, but Stef really did not want to open that can of worms. Besides, he was probably dead after the raid to free her so what would be the point) and as far as she was concerned, Clint was her child's father as much as he was to Renata and the twins Mia was carrying; even if they weren't related by blood, he would still be the one he'd call Papa if that's what Clint wanted.

Mia moved away from the group she had been talking to, holding her back to try to relieve some of the pain from the twins as she came to join her other partner on the couch, leaving Clint alone to deal with his people. “Hey, why the frown?” she asked, sitting on Stef's left side, tipping over to lean against the other woman, reaching her left hand over her own large stomach for Stef's right, a gesture they had come to do in order to feel close to each other and the children they both carried.

Taking the offered hand with a sigh, Stef didn't reply, instead opting to enjoy the closeness of the woman she loved. Mia was the only reason she had agreed to try this weird relationship. It wasn't that Clint was a bad guy, he had been rather sweet after they had discussed the issues the two of them had with Mia and he'd stopped thinking he was being replaced, it was just that he had come first in her love's life and had so much more than Stef did in the memories they shared. These feelings of not belonging blindsided Stef in moments that new people to her that knew Clint and Mia from before they got married would react when told that Mia wasn't Clint's only woman and that Mia had chosen Stef to join them for her and not him. It was hard to face the judgment of people close to them and not feel like an outsider in her own relationship.

”You're doing it again, aren't you?” Clint asked quietly, coming over to check on his girls. He saw the look on Stef's face as clear as day; she was doubting her place again. “You know, just because people don't get what we're doing with our lives, doesn't mean what we have isn't right for us.” He bent over to kiss her gently on her lips. “I love you,” he turned to Mia, “and I love you,” kneeling in front of them he continued, placing a gentle kiss on Stef's belly, “I love you,” and finally he kissed Mia's belly twice, “and I love both of you.”

”I love you so much, Stef, I'm glad you're here with us; no matter what people say, you belong here with us, we're a family. Let them say what they like, you're my love and they can't take that away,” Mia added as she ran her fingers through what was now blue tipped hair.

Stef nodded. “I love you…” She knew it was true. People might not understand her place in their relationship, but somehow deep down she knew that with these two she'd always be loved just like she always wanted.

25 Stef and Clint

25: “You can’t ride a bike?” - “Why are we whispering?”

Rating: GeneralWords: 164

The weather was feeling warmer, and Stef and Clint had been home with the kids while Mia was out shopping with Cosima. “Maybe we can get some bikes and go riding sometime,” Clint commented to Stef as the kids ran around in front of their building with other children from around the neighborhood.

“Bikes?” Stef asked.

“Yeah. Bicycles. Not motorbikes, the kids are too young for those yet.”

“I don’t know how to ride them,” she admitted to him.

“You can’t ride a bike?” he asked her in a whisper. “Really?”

“Why are we whispering?” she questioned back. “And it wasn’t deemed necessary.”

Clint shook his head. “Man, I totally forgot the kind of childhood you had… Alright, we’re gonna get some bikes, and you’re gonna learn with the kids how to ride.”

“Okay,” Stef simply said, not even sure what the big deal was, but hey, it meant more bonding time with her loves, so why not? She was always fine with that.
