Sarah's POV

After working deliberately on my hair, i've completed the multiple plaits and dusted on a smidge of makeup. I only put on some cover up, powder, mascara and plum pink lipstick to go with my dress.

"As the guest of honor for tonight we have a Patriotic girl who can't decide between dressing like a lumberjack and singing a song to Union Jack-is Sarah Margaret Carter-Rogers!!"

Oh yeah, Tony decided that we all get dramatic announcements and entrances for the night too.

And yes, Sam read my entrance from a piece of paper.

I walk down, my hair flowing down the top of my dress as my Uncle Loki gifted dress flows around me.

I'm brought to my father's arm for him for him to my apparent escort, a proud expression on his face as he walks me around the room as he once did throughout Stark Tower. Uncle James is awaiting us with tears in his eyes as his bow tie gets more and more loose around his shirt collar.

"You look handsome, Steve. I think if Ma saw you, she'd grab some flowers and be ready to marry you again." I smile up at him

"You think she'd be that excited?"

"I think she'd be ecstatic."

"Let's bring you to Buck, I think if I wait any longer he's gonna take me down on the feast table." he walks me to my uncle

When we get to him, he immediately wraps me in a hug that holds so many emotions, I can't even count them.

"You okay, Uncle James?" I pat his back

He backs away and holds his arms out as if he's presenting me, his hands out as he acts like a spotlight for me.

"Well Doll, you look as if we put Steve in a dress, but you're beautiful as always and i'm proud to see you smiling." he smiles

"My dads look great, I'm glad to see them looking happy as well." I smile as I speak

"I am happy, Honey." Steve smiles as he puts his left arm around my middle

"What are we even supposed to do at these parties? The last one we went to, I had to get stitches-thanks for doing those for me by the way." I ask as I pat my father's shoulder

"Um..well. Drinking games are often involved but I don't think they will tonight since Thor's supply of mead has almost gone clean here. I think Sam or Nat might have something in mind for us to do, but other than that just relax."

"Relax?!" I exclaim happily

"Yeah, relax." he nods

"I get to relax. I've never done that before." I smile

"Well then let us be the first to introduce you to it." he chuckles

"This is the best life ever." I throw my hands in the air

"I'm glad you think so." he smiles down at me once more

"Why don't we go sit down, let the buzz calm a little?" Uncle James pats my left arm with his right hand

"Yeah, yeah that sounds better." I nod

He links my left arm with his right for he and Steve to guide me over to the couch, seating us to where i'm crowded by their protection so I don't have to worry about guarding myself tonight. We're each handed different drinks, I get a glass of brandy while Uncle James is given chocolate liquor and Steve is handed a glass of cognac.
