Logan was on the phone. When Natasha spotted him and walked towards him.
"He's fine, yeah.. His smile.. Is like yours.. Oh yeah, he is so cute.. You would love" he saw Natasha and was conscious, "I'll call you later" he said and hung up.
"Hey, its okay, I would have come later" Natasha said with a smile.
"No, its alright. Can I hold him? " he asked, looking at James.
"Sure" she said, and helped him take James. James was smiling.
"Thanks, for everything " she said.
"You would want to thank me again" he said.
"Why?! " she asked.
Then she heard Steve coming to them, and turned.
"Your violins, my queen" Steve said taking her waist, "Logan got those back".
She looked at him and smiled, "Thanks "
"Your welcome" Logan pat her cheek with affection and Natasha was shocked to see how Steve was comfortable with him touching her.
"Anything for my little sister" he said, and Natasha relaxed. So he treated her like a sister too. And Steve knew. She couldn't be more happy.
"I am happy that you found another relation" Steve said kissing her cheek, "and my little James found out another uncle James" he pinched James's cheeks.
"And this uncle loves him more then anything " Logan said, kissing James's little hand.
Natasha noticed the love Logan had for James. His eyes for moist. So much love for said nephew.
"Come, you need to show me your violin playing skills" Steve said to Natasha and pulled her along with him.
"Go, James would be fine with me" Logan said.
Natasha nodded and walked away with Steve.
She sat down on a stool and took the most beautiful violin. Her eyes were moist, as memories of her childhood flooded her mind. She closed her eyes and started to play.
Steve was mesmerized by her. Her music was just as pure, just as beautiful as she was. It calmed his mind, send his troubles away. For a moment, he was back to being the little Steve Rogers, the one before his mother left him.
When she stopped playing and opened her eyes, she saw Steve wiping a tear.
She walked to him and sat in his lap, taking his head in her hands, she caressed his cheeks.
"Am I so worthless, Natasha? So bad? That my mother ran away. She could have taken me, but she didn't. She hated my father. Did she hate me too? Do you hate me? Would you hate James if you hate me? " Steve asked innocently.
"No, you are worth of so much love" she said, "I love you, and James is a piece of my heart. I can never hate him"
"Then why did my mother hate me? " he asked.
Natasha had no words, she put his head on her chest and he hugged her. She could see the reason behind his destruction, how he thought love wasn't even real. Any child whose mother left him this way, would turn bitter.
Logan stood outside the room they sat in and sighed.
"She doesn't hate you, Steve" he said, "she loves you as much as she loves me"
He turned and looked at Joseph downstairs, "You would pay, for ruining all of our lives".

At night, Natasha was tugging James to sleep. His cot was moved to their room, and he was so cheerful, as they spend time together.
Natasha watched Steve play with James all day. And she was hurt. Steve loved his son, she was so wrong to judge him. He was just hurt. He lost his mother, he didn't want to lose her. Natasha understood what she meant to her husband and she pledged to take care of him and get him out of this mess.
She got into the bed, lying besides Steve, in his arms.
"I love you, and I always will" she said, caressing his cheek. He smiled at her.
"You have to" he said, kissing her hand.
"I want to" she said. This was her choice, he could force her to stay but he cannot force her to love him. She wanted him to know that she loved him, by choice.
"I will find her one day" Steve said, "my mother. And I would make her love me"
Natasha's heart hurt, and she couldn't understand how could his mother do this to him. She couldn't even imagine doing that to James, no matter what the reason.
"Steve, what do you remember of her? Did she? " she asked.
"Yeah, she pretended to love me then. She would sing to me at night, and make my favorite food, she watched cartoons with me, helped me with homework. And then one day, I returned from school and.. She was gone. We never heard from her then" his eyes were moist.
Natasha hugged him, "I love you" she said.
"I love you too" he said, and started kissing her neck. She smiled, and pulled his head up, to kiss his lips. They made love, quietly, not waking James up.
On the other hand, Logan was busy collecting information. He got another call.
"I am trying, its not going to be easy" he said to the person on the phone, "take care of yourself, and don't panic. I will make sure everything is done right"
He reached Joseph's room, and sneaked in. Joseph was not inside. He was out at one of his clubs. He was shocked as he turned to face the wall beside the door.
There was a big portrait of Joseph with a beautiful woman by his side. A wedding portrait. The woman wasn't happy or cheerful as most brides are supposed to be. She was sad, her eyes lowered. And Joseph had an evil grin on his face.
Logan had tears building up in his eyes, the painful memories angering him further.
He walked to the portrait and punched the glass, it shattered into pieces, the frame falling down. His hand bled, as he took the photograph and tore it apart. Separating Joseph and his bride.
"I will avenge you mother" Logan said in anger, "I will avenge us".
Blood stained Joseph's face as Logan walked out of the room.

Adopted or real?
Poor Steve, he is desperate for his mom.
