Despite the dark cloud that was hanging over Steve, he couldn't help but smile as JJ bounced with excitement. If Steve wasn't holding JJ's hand he was certain the 4 year old would have run off already.
They'd already spent all morning walking around the rest of the smithsonian, JJ absolutely loving every moment of it. But as they got closer and closer to the Captain America exhibit, just like you, JJ's excitement increased tenfold.
It had been years since Steve had visited this exhibit and it had grown and changed a lot during the years. Information and artefacts of his time with the Avengers, meaning there were more photos of you too. Thankfully there wasn't anything about the accords since Steve didn't want JJ to know anything about that.
JJ was in a stunned silence as they walked through exhibit, his eyes wide in amazement as he looked over the many pictures of Steve. As they approached the display about Bucky, Steve lifted JJ up resting him on his hip so JJ was eye level.
"This is your Uncle Bucky, he was my best friend" Steve explains pointing over to the picture of Bucky "we got into a lot trouble as kids"
"Like me and morgan" JJ asks not taking his eyes off the picture of Bucky.
"Yeah but you and Morgan are better behaved" Steve chuckles gently.
"When you were born I wasn't at home so Bucky looked after you mommy while I made my way home" Steve tells him "your Uncle was very special to me and your mommy, its why we named him after you"
JJ frowns in confusion looking over at Steve in confusion "but I'm James" he says making Steve chuckle.
"Yes you are, but James was also Bucky's name, Bucky was his nickname just like JJ is your nickname" Steve explains, smiling softly when JJ's lets out a quiet 'oh' in understanding.
Steve kept hold of JJ as they carried on around the exhibit. Partly because he could tell JJ's legs were starting to get tired, but mostly because it was helping Steve to have him this close. Especially when they moved onto the exhibit that had pictures of you.
"That Mommy?" JJ asked pointing over to a picture of you and Thor from the battle of New York with his free hand, the other clutching his teddy of you.
"Yeah that's mommy, and your Uncle Thor" Steve nods "that was just after a fight so they didn't usually look like that "your mommy was very very pretty" Steve grins as he points over to a different picture of you that wasn't post battle.
"Like a princess" JJ says making Steve smile even more.
"Yes just like a princess, and she was a princess because her Daddy was the king of a place called Asgard" Steve tells him.
JJ's jaw drops "what?" He gasps in astonishment.
"Yeah, Asgard was a very magical place, full of magical creatures" Steve grins nodding his head.
"No way" JJ says shaking his head.
"Yes way, I'll show you all the pictures I have when we get back home" Steve promises making JJ giggle.
As they continued looking through all the different pictures Steve continued to tell stories about you. JJ asking for more and more. Steve had thought talking about you with JJ would be painful but it wasn't. Yeah there was a pang in his heart but it also felt good, felt freeing. And the smile on JJ's face made it all worth it.
By the time they reached the end of the exhibit JJ was practically asleep in Steve's arms. But that didn't stop him from asking to go to the gift shop, something that Steve was more than happy to do.
