Why this must be read: I figured I needed to round out my kidfic recs with one where a member of the team comes into a kid. This was a new take on this genre, with Clint finding himself the guardian of Barney's kid. Barney has not been stellar as a parent, and Clint looks like him, which makes things difficult at first, but it's okay, because Coulson has ninja baby skills and an awesome backstory. Basically, this is sweet and funny with a well-written kid and a lot to smile about.
Phil paused for just an instant, a complicated expression crossing his face that Clint cataloged and put away for later because not much broke Phil's mild expression, then grinned and held out his hands. "And another one! Hi again. You're a regular chatterbox compared to your Uncle Clint when I first met him." Clint glared, but Phil just grinned bigger and took the baby. "Do you have a name?"
"No."
"No? I don't believe that."
Clint stared as Phil took Sam to the couch, talking to him the whole way, and sat down. "His name's Sam," he said as he closed the door.
Sam looked over Phil's shoulder at Clint. "No."
"Sam," Phil said. Sam looked at Phil. "Ah, so yes, your name is Sam. Yes! Sam!"
Sam scowled and scrubbed at his eye with a fist, then put his head down on Phil's shoulder. "Tuttup."
Phil chuckled. "I think we won't be repeating that one." He patted Sam's back rhythmically and slowly, a pat, a pat, and every third pat a little rub, until Sam's eyes dropped closed, then switched to just rubbing gently.
