Wait for the Signal: A Royalty Steve Rogers Story

Nineteen

I walked into the office that Steve had. Sarah was in there as well.

"Oh. Hello."

"Hi love." Steve said. I sat at the sofa. Steve glanced at his mother.

"I was just leaving." She said. Steve got up after she left.

"You look ill." He said. He sat on the table in front of me.

"I am supposed to be on my cycle and I am not."

"Oh. Darling.."

"I need to be tested again I suppose."

He got up, kissing my head. "I'll get my mother to contact Bruce."

I stood up. He met my eyes.

"This is good." He said.

"I just.."

I set my hand on his chest. He pulled me into a kiss. His hand went to my cheek. I set my hand on his waist.

"Elena! I hope you're not distracting my son from his work!"

I pulled away rather quickly, taking a step back. Steve glanced at me. I put my hand over my lips, almost hiding.

"She did not do anything."

"You are to be working. At this rate you'll never be king."

"Yeah whatever." He said.

"I should leave."

"You are not leaving."

"Steven." Joseph said.

"Father she has not gotten on her cycle which means that she is most likely with child. Leave her alone."

Joseph looked at me. "About time."

"Do not patronize her."

"Then get to work."

"Get out."

"Do not talk to me like that-"

"Joseph! Get out. It is not your office. I swear to god."

Sarah came in. He quieted down. He only seemed to stay quiet with her. I wondered if this was how Steve and I would be when older.

"What are you doing in here then?" He asked.

"To get you out. Leave them alone or I swear on my life I will hurt you."

He walked out. I looked at Steve.

"Please don't worry. We will get you a test. Do not stress."

"Right." I said.

"You're not on your cycle?" Sarah asked. I shook my head.

"It's been thirty-one days since my last. I should have had it a week ago." I said. I glanced at Sarah. "And I...I don't know I've been feeling very sick."

"Like morning sick?" Steve asked. "Ella this is great. Well the sickness isn't but you are.. you're with child."

"Wait until we test. Maybe I'm just sick."

"Let's contact Banner right away." Sarah said.

"You're pregnant you're highness."

I gasped, "thank you."

I needed to find Steve. I needed to tell him.

I got up, running out to find him. He was still working.

I ran into his office. Bucky was in there.

"Hi Bucky. Umm.. hi." I said, a little out of breath from running so fast.
