"It's okay," Laura shrugged, leaning into Clint's embrace. The kids would not be up for another hour at most.

"I'm up, do you want some help?"

"Happy Holidays, Baby" (From Laura)

Clint flipped the oven on so it could pre heat. They kept thanksgiving small this year but he was still up at the crack of dawn to dry and cook his family an amazing meal. Laura had always been the one to do it in the previous years and Clint wanted... needed to make up for lost time.

He smiled, putting and arm around his wife to pull her close and kiss the top of her head. "Happy Holidays." He replied. "Did I wake you? I was trying to be quiet."

[ GRAB ] : impulsively, sender quickly crosses the room to where the receiver is standing, grabs them, and pulls them into a passionate kiss.

Clint was anxious, tapping his feet while the Quinjet crossed the fields near their farm. His ears still rang, after the fight he had noticed that he didn't come out of the fight completely whole. He'd lost his best friend, she sacrificed herself so he could have this. He was limping, covered in cuts and extensive bruising. Walking hurt, fuck... Even breathing hurt, but it didn't matter. The minute he saw Laura, Clint jumped out of the Quinjet, closing the distance and pulling her in for a passionate kiss. @hawkeyes-little-hits

She knows that sound, as she steps out onto the porch of their home. She barely has time to get his name out of her mouth before he's pulling her in a kissing her hard, like he used to before they had kids.

"Clint... you're hurt." She's instantly in nurse mode, looking him over, thinking about what she'll need to patch him up and make him whole again.

Kate stood in the door that connected the living room to the space infront of the entrance rather aquardly. She hadn't known where to bring Clint after the epic fail of a mission they had. She'd never met Laura, was pretty sure Clint kept herself a secret from his wife so she wouldn't worry too much about him. But he'd been hurt bad and people were still out to get them. She looked towards her mentor on the couch, covered in bruises. Lucky gave a whimper and nudged her hand. "I know, buddy. I'm pretty nervous about it too. Clint'll be okay. Not so sure about us." She whispered as Clint's wife appeared in her field of vision. "Ahm... Hi, I'm sorry just to dump him here like that but we didn't really have anywhere else to go. I don't want to cause trouble just... Make sure he's okay. I won't bother you anymore ma'am." (@katyxkatexbishop )

Clint covered in bruises was nothing new, though she had preferred that her husband not return from New York injured.

There was also the matter of the nervous kid that was calling her Ma'am.

"I'll go get the first aid kit, you park it," Laura said directing the girl to sit on the couch.

"If he's beat up then chances are you are too, besides, dinners almost ready and you're staying for dinner."

@crackshot-bowman liked for a starter with Laura Barton

"Hey, it's okay, you're okay." Laura soothed wrapping herself around Clint, it was late but Laura didn't care, her husband and their family came first. Sleep be damned.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

"It's fine," Laura smiled, she didn't care if Clint brought home an army. All she wanted was her husband to be home where he belongs and to know that he's safe.

When he poked her nose the brunette laughed.

"You are aware, Barton. That I am already pregnant with your third baby?" She joked, rubbing her swollen middle. She wouldn't trade their family for anything but Laura was at the point where she was so sick and tired of being pregnant.

"We still need to settle on a middle name for little Nathaniel."

“I’ll take what I can get.” Laura said, she knew the kids would crave Clint’s attention the most, which meant right now was the only time she had Clint to herself. She wouldn’t take it for granted that was for sure.

“Your friends are going to have to share rooms, I wasn’t expecting so many people at once, we’re a full house.”

He knew that any minute the kids would be screaming for him or come looking for him and right now he just wanted to spend time with his wife, so he was going to soak up all the time he could before the kids came.

“I know and i’m sorry. It was a last minute thing and I knew we could house them safely. They won’t mind having to share rooms, as long as we don’t have to share.” He teased, poking her nose.

( tend reverse ) : receiver looks after sender when they’ve been hurt  / Laura Barton @amarcnthiine

Laura swore under her breath and tried her best to tend Val's wounds, this was her least favorite part of this whole arrangement, but none the less she did it anyway.

"What's the other guy look like?" She asked as she cleaned a particularly nasty cut.

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

"Hey, Laura, I found a cute teddy bear that reminded me of you, and I thought you should have it." --@deafarcher

Laura smiled down at the cute little teddy bear, Clint knew her so well, she was so glad he was her partner and brother-in-law.

"It's perfect, thank you, Clint."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

send  🙌  for  an  excited  starter . (for laura and @beenunmade)

"I know, I know it's bad luck for us to see each other." Laura said as she walked into the room where Clint was getting ready, but she just had to see him before she walked down the aisle.

"But we're so non-traditional, I figured it couldn't hurt."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

Laura took one look at the wound and cursed under her breath.

"Cooper, go get my kit!" She called out as she steered Yelena into the sunroom so that she could work on the injury.

"Lay on down, and try not to move."

“Well I am bleeding your husband is very good with his bow.. I just don’t want him looking at me.” Yelena said before showing Laura the wound under shirt that was bleeding quite profusely. “Its as they say.. I zigged when I should have zagged.” She knew deep down if Natasha had trusted this nice woman she could too. Not him just her.

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

👀 - Do you let Lila use my spare bow when I'm away? She's way to good at shooting for only practicing with me. @hawkeyes-little-hits

"Not unsupervised, but yes. She's been asking for a bow of her own for her birthday, I told her we'll see."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

"And don't you forget it!" Laura laughed, settling into the passenger seat as best she could.

It felt good to sit after hours on her feet, and the promised massage helped matters as well.

"At least I'm not scheduled for tomorrow, which means we can spend some much needed time together." Laura added as she dug into the food Clint had brought.

"Unless you rather work on the barn some more."

It was late, but Clint didn't mind. He was there happily and the others were used to him showing up, usually with food in hand. Laura was every bit as stubborn as he was, so if she wouldn't take time off now so she could have it once their child came then he would pick her up when he could. He smiled and got out of the car when he spotted her stepping outside. He went over and walked her to the car. "Hey, hon. Food's in the car, figured you were hungry." He said, smiling as he put an arm around her.

"I can't," Laura smiled. Where had the time gone? Weren't they just bringing Cooper home from the hospital? Their lives had gotten so crazy, and now they were going to try for a new baby!

"I feel like I blinked and he's grown up, wasn't he just a little boy?"

Smiling Laura pressed a kiss to Clint's cheek.

"We don't have to start trying right away, let's get through getting the kids back to school, and then we can start trying." She said smiling, One last baby, hopefully a little girl to balance out the numbers.

"I love you."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

As her children came crashing into the room, noisy as ever, Laura smiled good naturedly.

"This is Lila, Cooper, and Nathaniel." She said her children waved shyly and sat down at the table.

"Don't worry I'll make sure they don't bother you too much."

@littlewidcw liked for a starter with Laura

Her husband had a pension for bringing home strays, always had. So when Clint turned up with the blonde, Laura did what she always did, the guest room was made up, and she set another place for dinner.

"I'm Laura, welcome to our home."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

Smiling, Laura laid her head on her husband's chest and sighed blissfully, Nate was at a sleep over and Cooper and Lila were sleeping in. So, for now, it was just her and Clint.

"It's good to have you home."

"I love you." (From Laura)

"Love you too."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

Laura listened, letting Clint fall apart, it was clear that he needed it. Gently drying his tears, Laura smiled sadly.

"It's okay, you're safe with me." She could sense there was too much for him to tell her everything right now, but when he was ready, she would be here.

"I need to finish patching you up. Your ribs seemed bruised at best. May I?"

He knew it sounded crazy. Five years had passed for him while for Laura end the kids nothing had happened. Even in his time as Ronin Clint had made sure the house was taken care of, so his family had a place to come home to. He had given up hope and still hung on, especially because of Natasha.

He sat there, just falling appart over everything that had happened in those last five years. He grieved the loss of his best friend, grieved for Tony and Vision and Wanda who had to live with the same pain as he had.

It had all led him back here with his wife and his children. He would never leave them again. It took a while but the searing pain in his chest dulled and his tears finally stopped. There was so much to explain. He didn't know how to tell Laura about the person he had become without her.

"S-,sorry..." He mumbled, kidding the top of her head. "A lot happened..."

[wearemarvelousmarvels-a]

"I'll take what I can get." Laura said, she knew the kids would crave Clint's attention the most, which meant right now was the only time she had Clint to herself. She wouldn't take it for granted that was for sure.

"Your friends are going to have to share rooms, I wasn't expecting so many people at once, we're a full house."

wearemarvelousmarvels​:

“That’s okay, Honey, I’ll take your word for it.” Laura said with a smile as he kissed her, gently pressing her forehead to Clint’s, Laura sighed.

“It’s good to have you home, how long are you and your friends going to be staying?”

He smiled and rubbed his nose against her’s. “Hopefully they’re not staying long. I could stay forever, but if they need me I go. So i’m not sure how long.”
