"About time you two came down. I was almost afraid Sam was going to eat everything." Wanda told us as she sat next to Sam who sat at the head of the table. Steve and Nat where sitting on the opposite side of them.

"Haha ha, very funny." Sam rolled his eyes as he kept eating.

"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting, I just wanted to spend time with my wife." Bucky sat down, before I sat in the chair next to him, Bucky pulled me into his lap making me giggle.

Sam fake gaged while Wanda scrunched her nose at us and smiled.

"Dude...thats my sister. I don't..." Steve chokes out as he shakes his head at us, making the rest of laugh.

"Get use to seeing this, Im not letting her go ever." Bucky says as he took a bite from some toast before giving me a bite too.

"You two are like two teenagers in love." Nat chuckles from behind her cup of coffee.

"It's gross.." Steve and Sam say at the same time. This made the rest of us laugh, I get up from Buckys lap to get some coffee for me and him. Thats when Carlos came into the dining room rubbing his eyes, he looked at everyone in the room in surprise.

"I thought it was a dream..." he mumbles as I pass him a plate of eggs and bacon Nat made. I chuckle at him and follow him back to the table.

"Not a dream buddy. You ready to meet the rest of the Avengers?" Sam pats him on the back as Carlos quickly looks up at him then the rest of us in shock.

"Really?! Can I?!" He looks at me as I sit next to Bucky in excitement.

"I don't see  why not. We need to return the stones today, besides Tony wants to meet you." I tell him as he quickly jumps up in excitement and runs to his room but not before yelling at us to get ready.

"He's a ball of energy isn't he?" Steve chuckles as we clean up the table.

"Should have seen him when he saw Bruce over FaceTime.  Couldn't stop gaping at Bruce." Nat says making us laugh.

"I need to call Rose and Jack, I'm pretty sure they're freaking out. I'll be back." I kiss Buckys cheek before walking to the living room and sit down on my yellow loveseat. 

I start calling Rose and as I hear the ringing, I look towards our wedding photo and couldn't help but smile as the phone was picked up.

Time Skip

We all had left to Tony's cabin since he already had the time machine ready with the help of Rocket and Bruce. They got it done faster since this was the second time they had to build it. Carlos was so excited about meeting everybody else  making all of us in the car laugh.

"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 tells Steve and Nat who where standing on the platform.They decided that they would be the ones to return the stones.

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

Sam, Carlos, Tony, Pepper, Morgan, Bucky and me where standing next to Bruce by the machine. I was holding Morgan in my arms as Tony helped Bruce with the machine.

"You know, if you want, I can come with you." Sam told them with hope in his eyes.

"Suck-up!" Bucky faked cough. Me and Pepper laughed as Sam glared at us.

"You're a good man, Sam. This one's on us, though." Steve told him as he grabbed Mijonlir.

"Besides we need a break from you all. No offense." Nat winked at us

"Don't do anything stupid 'till you get back." Bucky told Steve who rolls his eyes and smiles at us.

"How can I? Im leaving all the stupid with you, Jerk." Steve says as he walks up the platform with Nat.

"How long is this gonna take?" I ask and look at Bruce and Tony.

"For them? As long as they need. For us? Five seconds." Tony says as he pushes some buttons.

"Ready, Cap, Red?" Tony asks them as they bod and hold each other's hands. Nat was holding the stones as Steve was holding Morjiner.

"Alright. We'll meet you back here, okay?" Bruce tells them

"You bet." Nat nods

"Going quantum. Three, two, one-" Bruce counts out making Steve and Nat disappear into the Quantum portal.

"And returning in, five, four, three, two, one-" Bruce counts again as we all wait for them to return alright. But Steve and Nat doesn't appear on the pad. Bruce looks around the equipment.

" Where are they?" Me and Bucky asked at the same time in worry. I was thinking that something might have gone wrong on their end.

"I don't know. They blew right by they're time stamp. They should be here." Bruce starts to panic as him and Tony start pushing buttons. Then all of the sudden Steve and Nat appear again on the platform. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. We all start crowding around the two to find out what happened.

"You okay?"

"What happened?"

"We're Fine!!" Steve stoped everyone's questions.

"We just lost track of time thats all." Nat smiled up at Steve.

We where confused for a bit before I look to Nats hand that was on Steves's chest.

"Oh my God!!" I grabbed her hand as me and Morgan looked down at her ring.

"Pretty!" Morgan said. Bucky looks down and smirks at Steve.

"A'bout Dam Time Punk!" Bucky laughs and pats Steve back.

"Congratulations!!" Everyone starts to congratulate them two.

"I went back and got my mother's ring that I had kept hidden in the old apartment. I never got to get it after I woke from the ice." Steve looks down at Nat who leans up and kisses him.

"Eeww!" Morgan covers her eyes as we all laugh. Tony grabs Morgan from my hands.

"Ewws right. Come on let's celebrate to the new happy couple!" Tony and Pepper walk back to the cabin with everyone following them.

"You didn't get married without us did you?" I look at Steve and Nat. Bucky holds me by my waist as we follow everyone.

"Of course not! Not without the family." Nat says as she pulls me away from Bucky and we both start to run ahead like we where little kids again.

  Morgan sees us running and starts to run after us and we play tag as we run around the yard. Everyone starts to laugh as we bring in Carlos and Bruce to play with us. I stop when I saw a figure by the lake looking out at the sky. I look around to see the others not paying attention to me. So I walk towards the person to see its Wanda silently crying as she looks to the sky.

"Wans? Want to talk about it?" I softly ask. I knew she wasn't alright so I wasn't going to ask that question.

She looks at me and softly smiles.

"You know, I wish there was a way– that I could let him know. That we won." She looks over to me. " We did it."

"He knows." I whisper as I hug her from behind. I wished I could have bring-him back when I brought Loki and me back. It just wasn't possible.... But I'll try my best to make Wanda never forget that she wasn't alone.
