You sat in shock after Steve pulled away. He looked at you expectantly, and you finally broke out into a smile.
"I don't even know how long we've been dating" you flushed.
"Four glorious months," Steve grinned.
"True, we started at the beginning of spring" you sighed.
"Alright, you just need to lay back, pull down your pants a bit and pull up your shirt" Doctor Cho instructed, bringing you both back from your little happy bubble. You flushed and pulled away from Steve's warm embrace and put your feet up and laid down on the gurney. Steve helped you pull down your pants and your shirt up a bit to under your breasts. Doctor Cho put the ultrasound gel on your stomach and turned on the ultrasound machine. She powered up the screen and pressed a large wand to your lower stomach. You hissed between your teeth as it was very cold, and Steve held your hand tightly. You both looked up at the screen expectantly to see three cloudy shapes on the screen and Doctor Cho smiled and looked at you both.
"Are those triplets?" Steve took in a gasp, paling slightly at even the thought.
"Yes, and you are about twelve weeks along. You two didn't waste any time" she chuckled.
"No mam, we didn't" Steve said proudly and he looked at you. You were sitting in shock, unsure of what to do or say.
"My brother's gonna kill us" you finally found words.
"I can't wait to meet him," he chuckled in response, ignoring your ominous statement.
"Triplets?" you squeaked.
"You'll be a great mom" Steve reassured you.
"Your pregnancy should be around thirty two to thirty five weeks in total with triplets. So twenty to twenty three weeks left. We need to start on prenatal vitamins right away" she started writing down a list on a notepad. "You need a lot more visits and this has to be monitored closely because of the risk, so we will be doing biweekly appointments. I am a licensed OBG YN, so you will have me for every step of the way" Doctor Cho advised. "I'm also writing down that I want you to limit caffeine, no alcohol, and no raw meats or fish" she said, writing it all down on her notepad. "Oh, you also might benefit from candied ginger in small doses to help with the stomach issues" she suggested.

"What about the morning sickness? Why was it so belated? What can we take now?" Steve started peppering her with questions.
"Loki" you said with a small smile on your face. "He usually touches my glass every morning and in the evening. He came today while you were out and he did it again, and I felt automatically better right after" you said softly. "He must have known, he's such a good friend" you sighed happily.
"You can take Gravol, as long as you follow the instructions on the box" Doctor Cho told you both.
"And now I don't have to miss any more work" you looked at Steve with a loving gaze.
"Did you want pictures?" she asked you both.
"Yes" you both chimed at once and she printed out two each.
"I'm putting one on my desk at work" you sighed happily as she handed it to you.
"I'm going to go run to the store and get you some candied ginger, prenatal vitamins and gravol" Steve kissed you on your forehead. "And a couple of picture frames," he added quickly.
"Thank you baby" you cooed to him. Doctor Cho cleaned off your stomach and powered down the machine.
"I'll have your medical records transferred to me starting immediately" she told you.
"Thank you Doctor Cho, I've actually been looking for a new doctor, since mine is only available on Mondays and I'm working" you admitted.
"Well now I'm just downstairs, and I'm on call on weekends" she gave a kind smile.
"How many things can you do, doc? You're our surgeon too" Steve asked, and remarked.
"To be the head doctor for the Avengers? I needed to learn a bit of everything" she shrugged easily, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I'm just grateful you're taking me on, thank you" you sighed. You pulled up your pants and your shirt down and turned to get off the gurney. Steve leaned in and kissed you softly on the lips before he picked you up like a bride again. "I can walk," you giggled in protest.
"And I can carry you," he said jovially. He swept out of the room and carried you back upstairs again. "I'll be right back" he kissed you softly. "Go get comfy on the couch, and I'll bring everything up to you. We will join the team for supper too" he gave you another kiss on the forehead.
"Alright daddy" you giggled and he broke out into another smile.
"You're also not getting out of that punishment" he warned you.

"Call it hormones, and give me a pass" you said, but didn't want him to. Not really.
"No way dove, I have too much planned for you" he nipped at your earlobe and kissed you on the side of your neck. You wrapped your arms around him, pulling him in as much as possible before he gave you one last kiss and he backed out of the room. You went back to the couch, grabbing a book and your bottle of water and sat down. Usually the first person you would tell would be your brother, but you wanted to tell him in person. You knew if you showed up this weekend, he would know before the words got out of your mouth.
You finally picked up the phone and called him after much deliberation.
"Hello?" he answered on the second ring.
"Hey big brother" you said with a smile in your voice.
"Hey Y/N, how ya been? I haven't gotten your text yet today. Everything okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, everything is fantastic. It's just... you can't tell mom and dad something" you told him.
"Did he jump the gun and ask you to marry him without talking to dad?" Eric asked automatically.
"No, but we are visiting this weekend, and I think he's going to ask him then" you said, your voice slightly guarded.
"Good, I can't wait to see you and meet this new man of yours" he seemed chipper.
"I just..." you sighed.
"What's wrong? Do I need to rough him up for you?" he asked worriedly.
"No, gosh no. I'm pregnant" you said after hesitating.
"Hot damn, I'm gonna be an uncle?!" he exclaimed.
"Yes" you laughed a bit.
"Good thing he's going to make an honest woman out of you" he was obviously happy for you. "Are you okay with this?" he asked quickly. "Are you ready?"
"With him, I'm ready" you nodded even though he couldn't see you. "I honestly love him with my whole heart. We just moved in together, but this feels right" you told him.
"Are you happy, little sister?" he asked softly.
"Overjoyed" you said automatically. "It's triplets" you informed him. He let out a low whistle and chuckled.
"I better start working on my diaper skills. You know mom and dad are going to want to be there for you when you give birth, and I wouldn't miss it for the world" he cooed.
"Yeah, I know. I just.. It's just that I just found out and I didn't know who else I'd rather know first" you told him smiling to yourself.
"Wait, does Steve know?!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, he was there when we found out" you curled up more on the couch. "I know he's going to want to tell Bucky, who's coming this weekend by the way, and then the rest of the team will know. I want to tell mom and dad in person, but you... you don't hold back and you wouldn't have been surprised" you giggled.
"That's true enough," he sighed. "I'll get the pet carrier ready for Molly because she's going home with you. I'll let mom and dad know you're coming with your man and his best friend. I'll let Emily know too" he said and you smiled.
"Thank you big brother," you sighed.
"Don't thank me yet, if he doesn't ask dad, I'm punching him" he said with promise.
"He hinted that he wanted to" you flushed. "And no beating up my boyfriend."
"Yeah whatever, I'll do what I want" he teased. "I better get back to the fields. Send me a selfie or a picture of Tibbs okay?" he asked.
"No problem. I love you" you said.
"Yeah, I love you too" he sighed and you hung up. You took a selfie and hit send on it as soon as you hung up. You then opened up your book, laid back, and started reading.

Steve came home a little under two hours later and walked into the suite carrying the largest bouquet of roses you had ever seen, and two large paper bags.
"What is this?" you asked with a laugh.
"Can't a man buy his future everything, some flowers?" he asked a little coyly.
"Do we even have a vase big enough to hold that many?! How many are there?" you asked a little breathlessly.
"Four dozen" he shrugged and gave you a wink. "I have a good sized vase in the cupboard I used to hold my paint brushes in" he walks into the kitchenette and puts his bags and your roses down. You got up to go help but he waved you away. He reached into the top of the cupboard and pulled down a very large vase with a little bit of paint on the side. You couldn't help but think it was perfect. It reflected him in every way. He proceeded to cut the ends off the roses and put them in the vase with a bit of solution and some water. He then presented you with the roses and you sniffed them with a large smile on your face.
"These are beautiful, thank you" you cooed.
"Not half as beautiful as you!" he replied quickly. "Did you call your parents?"
"No, just my brother. I'll probably call them tonight" you decided. "Eric said he would tell them we are coming," you added.
"Is he ready to punch me?" he asked with a sly smirk on his face.
"Pretty much" you giggled.
"I'll let him land one on me" he promised. "Now I got everything the doctor said to pick up. Take these" he turned back to the paper bags and pulled out the prenatal pills. You went and set the roses down and came back to him. He pulled out one pill and gave it to you and you quickly swallowed it. "I also picked up some more strawberries" he wiggled his eyebrows at you. You leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Perfect, just what I've been craving" you sighed.
"We will eat some after we go downstairs," he chuckled.
