Beautiful Trauma ~Steve Rogers Love Story~

26

I walked out of a trauma room handing the tablet I was holding to Maggie telling her the patient I saw needs a CT scan and a MRI. She said okay I'll call up. I went to the break room just to see Steve there talking with Kyle and they were laughing. It's been like a month since Steve had to have his knee cap glued he's using a cane I make fun him once in awhile because of it. I looked at the two confused before asking what's going on. They look at me Steve shrugged "was just waiting for you ready for our lunch date?" I nodded my head yeah "Kyle trauma three MRI and a CT." He said okay as I was putting my Dr coat in my locker and grabbed my phone from the lock box that is attached to the locker above it. We get our own lockers with lock boxes above so we can lock our valuables in it when we don't need them. "Well I better see if they took the patient up yet have fun" Kyle said as he went towards the door "thanks and her blood pressure is all over the place so keep an eye that please." He said okay as he left the break room I turned to Steve who was already on his feet and waiting for me. "I hope you don't mind cafeteria food today?" He said no I don't mind right before we left the break room going towards the elevator. I pressed the button to call the elevator up looking at Steve who was looking to our right. I saw him looking at dad who was talking to Sharon the head of the hospital. I rolled my eyes as the elevator doors opened I let Steve got on first. Once we were both on the elevator I pressed the button for the floor the cafeteria was on the elevator doors closing right away. I looked at Steve asking him if he has physical therapy today "yeah at one thirty." I touched his arm telling him not worry he'll be back at a 100% soon then I gave him a kiss on the cheek before looking at my phone seeing my dad calling. "Ugh not him again" I stated before hitting decline. Steve asked if dad and I were still fighting I told him yes "and I'm not dealing with him until he apologizes." The elevator doors opened a minute later and we got off going into the cafeteria. I picked a table getting Steve to sit down "okay grilled cheese and tomato soup or the Quesada special?" He got this look on his face that tells you that he's thinking and I find it adorable. After a minute he said grilled cheese and tomato soup with a smile on his face. I shook head a little telling him I'll be right back with our food. Once getting his food and my food I took the food to our table giving him his food then sat down across from him.

We sat there eating lunch talking in between bites trying to catch up a little. Once we were done eating I went back to work while Steve got a lift with Sam to go back to our house. The rest of my day just consisted of taking care of patients and running tests.

When my work day was done I left in my car heading towards home. I just wanna get home and relax with Steve who probably still has Sam over. I pulled over into a pizza place to pick up dinner. Once out of the car I called Steve as I walked to go inside he picked up after three rings. We talked while I waited in line then we hung up once I realized I was next in line. When it was my turn I told the guy pick up for Harley Stark he went into the kitchen then came out thirty seconds later with a box of pizza and a box of wings. I paid for them telling the guy thanks before taking off with the pizza and wings. I got back to the car putting the food in the passenger seat buckled up then turned the car on putting it in drive. As I drove I switched the radio station to a different one I didn't wanna hear news right now.

I drove maybe another 15 minutes before reaching the house I parked the car turning it off after putting it in park grabbing the food then got out of the car locking it as I walked to the front door. I managed to get the front door unlocked and opened I walked in closing the door behind me then locking it. I walked towards the kitchen calling out for Steve putting the food on the counter once I got to the kitchen. I looked around then I went and started looking for him. I called out as I walked around looking for him but I couldn't find him. I sighed deciding to go down to the gym in the basement. I got down to the gym two minutes later seeing Steve punching a punching bag. I stopped walking crossing my arms looking at him just staring at him for a good minute before calling his name again causing him to stop and look at me. I sighed uncrossing my arms as I walked towards him with a worried expression painted across my face. "Did you have a nightmare or something?" He let me take one of his hands to unwrap it while he told me "I had a nap and I was having a good dream until it turned into a nightmare." I sighed asking him if he wanted to talk about it and he said no not really "well whatever you are ready to tell me I'm here." He looked at me with a look on his face I know all too well. The mixture of pain and worry enriched on his face was hurtful and also made me feel useless. "I hope you like pizza and wings for dinner" I told him with a small smile on my face as I finish unwrapping his hands. I grabbed one of his hands pulling him out of the gym and towards the kitchen. We reached the kitchen I threw the hand wrappings out then grabbed the plates as Steve sat down at the island in the center of the kitchen. He managed to get the two take out boxes pulling them towards him as I walked over with the plates sitting down next to him. I opened one box while opened the other one I looked at him as I gave him a couple of wings "are you sure it's just the nightmares?" He looked at me and I can see it in his eyes that something is bothering him.

"If it's about Red Skull don't worry he'll get caught eventually." He sighed as I closed the box with the wings and reached for a sliced of pizza putting it on my plate "I just you to be safe that's all." I looked at him putting a hand on one of his telling him things will be fine and not to worry too much. We looked at each other for a good minute before deciding to eat our dinner. When bedtime came around I wasn't ready to sleep but I had to for my shift tomorrow. After laying there for a good forty minutes trying to fall asleep I opened my eyes and rolled over facing Steve who was snoring quietly.

I watched him sleep seeing how peaceful he looked. I sighed rolling back onto my back closing my eyes thinking how lucky I was to have him with me. By the time morning came and my alarm blared I sat up gasping for a few seconds looking around realizing I fell asleep and didn't realize that I did. I sighed turning my alarm off throwing the blanket off me swinging my legs over the side of the bed looking around before finally getting up. I grabbed a clean pair of scrubs along with a bra and underwear then made my way to the bathroom. I took a shower then got dried and dressed going back into the main bedroom once I was done. I grabbed a pair of socks sitting down on the bed putting them on. I noticed Steve wasn't in the room I'm assuming he's down in the kitchen making sure coffee was ready. I got off the bed grabbing my phone and sneakers leaving the room going down to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen not seeing Steve I dropped my sneakers onto the floor going up to the coffee maker seeing a note in front of it. It was from Steve and he stated that he's gonna try for a jog but will be back soon. I shook my head before grabbing a coffee cup and pouring myself some coffee. I looked around after making my cup of coffee seeing that Steve made bacon and eggs putting them in separate containers. I made myself a plate then sat at the island with the food and coffee. I took my phone out of my pocket and put it down. I sat there quietly just eating and thinking about work. Once I was done eating I put the plate and fork in the sink after rinsing the plate I turned around just in time to see Steve walk into the kitchen all sweaty and Sam right behind him. "Please be don't be mad that I went for a jog." I grabbed my coffee off the island drinking the rest before putting the cup in the sink. I turned to face them crossing my arms "well at least that knee is getting better." They looked down at their feet trying to hide the guilty looks on their faces "but at least keep it at a light jog don't want to rebreak the knee cap or misplace it." They looked up at me again trying to keep the smirks off their faces "just go shower Sam there's a shower that runs off different plumbing in guest room c." They both said okay before leaving the kitchen. Once they left I rolled my eyes muttering boys before going to pour coffee in my travel mug. Once the boys were done I took them with me to the city so they can meet the rest of the team at the Avengers Tower. It didn't take long to get them to the tower and drive myself to work.

I walked into the Dr's lounge opening the lockbox and putting my purse in there then closing the door and locking it. I took my jacket off hanging on the hook then putting my hospital id tag on my scrubs shirt leaving the lounge two minutes later. It wasn't long until we had a rush of people come into the emergency room to get looked at. When I was able to go for lunch I sat in the cafeteria texting with Sam who was keeping me updated on Steve. When he told me that Steve nearly fell face first into the ground because he tripped on his own two feet I laughed I didn't mean too but the way he explained it and what Steve said after the incident took place. After lunch I checked on my patients and dealt with some new ones. It wasn't long until home time and I was exhausted. I grabbed my bag from my locker then left the lounge going towards the doors to leave just in time see Steve walk in. I walked up to him asking if he was ready to home now "yeah plus I wanna spend time with my girl." We smiled at each other as I took his outreached hand and we walked out of the hospital going towards my car. We reached my car within minutes and got in. I started the car up and pulled out of the parking lot heading towards home. "So are we cooking tonight or am I stopping somewhere to get take out?" I felt him put one of his hands on my right knee "I was thinking homecooked meal tonight." I smiled at that telling him that sounds good as I drove towards the edge of the city. We reached home within fifteen minutes and went into the kitchen to start on our dinner. We spent that evening just enjoying each others company and ignoring calls from my dad. We even built a blanket fort in the living room then destroyed it with a lot of play fighting all in all it was a nice night.
