Steve quickly started the jet up as I then felt two small arms around my leg, "Mommy!"

I knelt down and smiled as I picked her up and sat down, "Hiii, baby! Are you okay?"

"Mm, yup! Auntie Tasha left me some pictures and showed me a cartoon."

I smiled as I held her close to my chest, as I whispered to myself, "They shouldn't have brought you."

"Mommy, can I go see Uncle Steve?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

I sighed as I then looked up to see Bucky watching me from his seat, "What?"

"I never thought I'd see you with a kid."

"Well, it wouldn't have been too far in the future, we were engaged."

"What?" I looked up and then realized what I had let slip before I covered my mouth, "We were engaged?"

I met his eye and then nodded hesitantly, "I wasn't supposed to say. Steve said it had to be something you remembered."

He stood up and walked over to me as he sat down, "Do... do you still have the ring?"

I smiled softly and nodded as I waved my my hand to reveal the ring, "I've never taken it off."

He looked at it and then met my eyes before he held his hand to my cheek as I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch.

I opened my eyes again and smiled before he leaned in and disrupted the space between us. I lifted my hand to his neck as we moved in sync before we pulled apart.

He laid his forehead on mine as he sighed, "I remember. I- I went with Steve to pick out the ring and I was so nervous about asking."

Sitting up straight, I cocked my head, "What?"

He interlocked out fingers and nodded, "I proposed to you under the tree where we would stargaze. You were wearing a dark blue dress as Steve hid in the tree above us because he wanted to see."

"You remember?"

He nodded and laughed before continuing, "And you didn't even say yes, you simply asked me if I was sure. When I said yes, you stood me up and kissed me before I slipped the ring on."

I gave him a look of relief before I nodded.

"And then you, me, Steve, and Peggy went out to the fair the next day."

I let go of his hands and held his face as I smiled, "You remember." I stood up and grabbed his hand as I walked us to the front of the jet before we took our seats, "Steve, he remembers."

"What?"

"He remembers everything."

"Everything, everything?"

Steve looked back at me as I nodded, "Everything."

Sighing of relief, he smiled before turning back to the sky.

I then gasped and turned back to Bucky before furrowing my brows, "But, I do understand if you don't want it. It's been a long time and if you want your ring back you can have it."

Chuckling, he shook his head as he held my hand, "I want you to keep it. And if you're still okay with it, I'd still like to marry you someday."

I nodded and then turned when Lina walked over as I pulled her onto my lap, "Hi, baby."

"Mommy, who's this?"

"This is..."

I looked up at him before he smiled, "I'm your mom's boyfriend."
