**Sophia**

I had just got back from visiting the doctor and I knew I needed to go talk to Steve, but I also knew he and Bucky had been away talking and I knew when they got together, they could be together for hours so I couldn't be seen.

I knew the way I needed to go, and I knew what I had to do. This had to be done and whether he talked to Bucky yet or not, we didn't have a choice. I opened my bedroom door to see Natasha sitting on the couch by herself since I had dismissed the other ladies.

"I have to go see Steve, but I have to go through the secret passage. If someone comes to see me, most likely Bucky please tell him I'm not accepting visitors, I will be locking this door." I said and Natasha nodded. I closed the door and locked it. I checked my appearance in the mirror to make sure the tears I cried on the way back weren't evident.

I opened the secret door and then closed it behind me quickly walking down the path to get to Steve's room. When I reached his door, I listened for a moment but heard nothing. I then gave a small knock and waited, still nothing...I started to think this wasn't smart.

As I was about to walk back to my room the door opened and there stood Steve. The man looked like he had been put through the ringer. He had a glass in his hand, he was drinking, but I could tell he wasn't drunk or even the slightest bit of tipsy.

"Are you okay?" I asked as Steve pulled me into his room, put his cup down on the desk then pulled me to his chest again, hugging me and I held on to him as well. I needed this because after what I was about to say I didn't know how much longer I would have it.

"I talked to Bucky." Steve finally stated after a couple minutes of silence of just holding each other. I snapped my head up to look at him.

"You did?" I asked and he nodded.

"I did, it didn't go over well. I told him everything." Steve said and I pulled away from him. He still held me, but I needed to look at him.

"Wait...everything...?" I asked.

"Yes Sophia, I told him everything. He needed to know. He brought a list to me of men he was going to bring to you to court. I knew none of them were what you wanted, I told him to add my name to the list. I told him everything. It just came out. He isn't happy with me Soph, I'm surprised you haven't been sent away so I can't have you already." Steve said and I shook my head.

"I wasn't in my room so if he showed up, I have no clue." I said.

"Where were you?" Steve asked, a little bit of jealously in his voice.

"The doctors wing."

I pulled away from Steve and took a few steps away and turned my back to him. He walked right up to me and wrapped me in his arms again.

"Sophia, what's going on?" Steve asked in my ear, genuinely concerned. I turned in his grip and looked at Steve.

"I'm pregnant. 2 months the doctor is guessing." I said and Steve just looked at me. I couldn't read his expression. There really wasn't one, there was no expression. "Steve?" I asked.

"So, the first times we had sex, you got pregnant?" Steve asked and I nodded.

"That's what the doctor is thinking. Natasha brought it up to me that I hadn't bled since I got here and then I decided to get checked. I bled right before we arrived."

Steve wrapped me in his arms and held on to me.

"Oh my god Sophia, this is the best news in the world!" Steve exclaimed and picked me up spinning me. Once he set me down, I looked at him and smiled as he leaned down and passionately kissed me.
