I woke up the next morning still wrapped in Steve's arms and I smiled. I never felt like this was missing from my life but with how tight he was holding me I could tell had missed it. I got out of bed and put on his t-shirt and my panties. I went into the kitchen and started some coffee and breakfast. Steve came walking in a few minutes later and I smiled as we wrapped his arms around my waist and he started kissing my neck.

"I think you have my shirt Andie." Steve said and I smiled.

"You complaining?" I asked and she shook his head and placed his chin on my shoulder.

"I was thinking....did you want to come to the compound today and see everyone? I mean it wasn't just me you shocked." Steve said and I sighed.

"I probably should. We really need to think about the twins though Steve." I said and he sighed.

"I know. I think it would be best if I talk to them first, maybe with Nat." Steve said and I nodded.

"Probably wouldn't hurt." I said and he nodded. I finished cooking breakfast with Steve's help and I smiled once we sat down to eat.

"So I heard you built a house out by Clint and Laura..." I said and Steve nodded.

"Yeah, maybe once everything gets worked out and we tell the kids I can take you to show you the place." Steve said and I smiled. As we were eating breakfast Steve's cellphone rang in his jean's pocket that he had on and he pulled it out.

"Give me a second..." Steve said and got up heading outside.

*****STEVE POV*****

I took my cellphone out to the porch and answered it.

"Hey kiddo." I said smiling.

"Dad, Clara is being mean and wont give me my drawing stuff back." Connor said on the other end of the phone and I sighed.

"Put your sister on the phone." I said. I heard the phone getting shuffled around.

"Dad?" Clara asked.

"Give your brother back his stuff please. Just because I'm not there doesn't mean you doesn't need to behave." I said.

"But he was...he was...-" Clara stuttered out.

"What Clara?" I asked.

"He was drawing a picture of mom! He wont stop. He says he has a feeling that something is going on. I just want him to stop. Mom is gone and never coming back!" Clara said and I heard her voice catch and I sighed.

"Clara, its okay for him to miss your mom and okay for you too. I miss her every day. Also, don't blame your mom for getting killed on the last mission please. It's no one fault. Things happen." I said and I heard her sigh.

"When will you be home? I just want to have a Rogers cuddle movie day." Clara said.

"In a few hours. I got somethings to do when I get back but I promise tonight we can okay?" I asked.

"Sounds good. I love you dad." Clara said and I smiled.

"I love you too. Give your brother back his stuff, he can draw whatever he wants." I said and she sighed.

"Okay." Clara said and we hung up. I sighed and walked back in the house to see Andie cleaning up the dishes looking upset.

*****NORMAL POV*****

I listened to Steve talking to the kids ending a disagreement they were having on the phone and knew he needed to be home with them. We couldn't be selfish wanting this time together, I left him with 2 big responsibilities 9 years ago. He walked back in the house as I started to cleaning up the dishes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Steve asked and I sighed.

"You should head home, to the kids..." I trailed off.

"What?" Steve asked confused.

"Steve, I left you to be a single parent and last night I kept you here, away from them." I said and he sighed and rushed over to me. He wrapped one arm around my waist and placed a hand under my chin to make me look at him.

"Hey, I wanted to be here with you. This is where I needed to be, I needed to hold you and be with you. I love you." Steve said and leaned down and passionately kissed me. "The kids are just having an argument. Trust me, I'm used to them...the whole compound is." Steve said and I gave a small laugh.

"I want to know what they are like Steve." I said and he nodded as he took my hand and we walked over the couch. I sat down and Steve got down on one knee in front of me. "What are you doing?" I asked with a laugh as Steve pulled out my wedding set.

"I never thought I would get to hold you, talk to you, see you or see you again until I died. I never should have let you leave the compound that day and I don't want you to leave me again. I want you to be here forever. Will you continue to be Mrs. Miranda Rogers?" Steve asked and held my wedding set out to me and I smiled and nodded. Steve put it on my finger, leaned in and passionately kissed me. He got on the couch as I cuddled into his side.

"Why don't you fill me in on everything that had happened while I was gone..." I said and Steve huffed a laugh.

"Okay well buckle up, there is a lot to catch you up on." Steve said and we laughed.
