I stood beside Steve as we watched Pepper walk out with Morgan and a flower wreath with Tony's arc reactor in the middle. She kneels down and places it in the water.

I hold onto his arm and take a deep breath as we watch the water. He was really gone....both of them were.




After I walk over and stare at the lake, Clint and Wanda join me. "You know, I wish there was a way....that I could let her know. That we won. We did it." I say with tears in my eyes.

"She knows...They both do." Wanda nods. 

Both of them put their arms around me, I was struggling to see myself living my life without Nat....that is until I found out some important news.





A couple weeks later, we had rebuilt a small Quantum platform for Steve to return the stones. "Now, remember– You have to return the stones to the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities." Bruce nods.

"Don't worry, Bruce. Clip all the branches." Steve nods.

Bruce looks over at me. "You know, I tried. When I had the gauntlet, the stones, I really tried to bring her back. I miss her."

"Me, too." I say with tears in my eyes. I turn to Steve and slightly smile. "You be careful...and you come back safe." Steve only nods, "I have something to tell you when your back. Okay?"

He only nods again and hugs me. I lean up and kiss him, feeling strange as he pulls away. "It will be okay." He smiles.

I step aside with Bruce as Steve talks with Sam and Bucky. I lean my head on Bruce as he waits.


I walk back over to Sam and Bucky as Steve steps up on the platform. "How long is this gonna take?" Sam asks.

"For him? As long as he needs. For us? Five seconds."

Steve picks up the hammer, "Ready, Cap? Alright. We'll meet you back here, okay?"

Steve looks back and nods. "You bet." He stares at me for a moment before turning back.

"Going quantum. Three, two, one–" Steve disappears into the Quantum portal.  "And returning in, five, four, three, two, one–"

Steve doesn't appear on the pad. Bruce looks around the equipment. "Where is he?" I ask.

"I don't know. He blew right by his time stamp. He should be here."

Bucky turns around from the pad. "Well, get him back." I point.

"I'm trying."

"Get him the hell back!" Sam yells.

"Hey, I said, I'm trying!"

"Y/N...Sam..." Bucky says. We turn to see a man sitting on a bench in the distance. It was Steve.

Sam and Bucky spend time talking with him, Steve even gave Sam his shield.

When it was my turn, I slowly sit down, not looking at him. "You went to her...I knew you would."

"I brought Nat's body back...thought you would want her to have a place to rest." He whispers.

"W-Where is she?"

"Ohio." He hands me a paper. "I'm so-"

"I'm pregnant." I blurt out.

"What?" Steve turns to look at me.

"I'm pregnant...I found out today."

"It's...it's mine?" He asks.

"Of course it is." I shake my head as tears slip down my face.

"Y/N...I'm so sorry. If I would of known-"

"It doesn't matter, you wouldn't of been happy if you stayed anyway." I sigh.

"I only left because I saw the note Sam left you. And in a way I knew you felt the same for him." He pauses as I don't respond. "What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know...I feel lost. I don't have Nat...Tony... You." I wipe my eyes and hold my hand on top of my stomach.

"I have money left over...I want-"

"I don't want your money Steve." I chuckle.

"Please...I want to make sure you and the baby will be okay."

"We'll be fine." I turn back to look at Bucky with a smile, "We have help."

"I'm so sorry, Y/N." He repeats.

I stand and shove my hands in my pockets. "You've said that a lot to me over the years...I'm starting to think you don't really mean it. Goodbye Steve." I wipe my tears and walk over to Bucky and Sam.

Bucky wraps his arm around me, "It's gonna be okay." He whispers. "I'll be here every step of the way."

"What's going on? I'm confused." Sam says.

I look up at Bucky and nod, walking past them and going to the car. I sit in the passenger side and look down at my stomach.


"Don't worry....mommy will take care of you."
