His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 57

Soon after you finished your yogurt premeal, you had breakfast with Steve and Bucky on either side of you. They had gotten a few curious looks when everyone noticed that the two men had opted to drink the decaf coffee with you. Once you were done you gave Steve a quick kiss before grabbing Tibbs from his spot where he was in a food coma, and brought him to work with you. You knew Steve would probably be fine with having him upstairs with him again, but then if he's packing, you knew how much Tibbs liked to get into things. Steve followed you right into the office and pulled you in for a proper kiss and pulled away and smirked at you. You wanted so much more now, but work comes first. You sat down and started working on the mission dockets again. You worked until lunch, and took a short break. If you kept up with the pace you were going, you would be done by the end of the day, and you would have some time to get prepared for going to visit your family for the weekend. You were excited. You just wondered what Steve was up to.

Meanwhile: Upstairs.

"Should I bring the black t-shirt, or the white t-shirt?" Bucky asked his two best friends, Sam and Steve.
"Bring them both, princess. It's not like you're only gone one day" Sam teased him.
"Yeah, but I want to impress Emily," Bucky frowned. "What do you think, Stevie?" He looked at Steve.
"Bring them both, bring one extra shirt, and a button up in case she wants to go somewhere nice" Steve suggested.
"Right, I forgot about dress clothes" Bucky started looking through his closet.
"You also have some nice red and blue Henley's in case it's cold" Steve pointed out. "I've seen plenty of dames checking you out in those" he added for good measure.
"This is overkill," Bucky grumbled. "I just want to make a good impression," he sighed.
"Wear the red Henley, take the button up, blue Henley, and the black t-shirt. That cuts it down. Bring a pajama shirt and a pair of grey sweats to go to bed," Steve suggested.
"I'll bring the white one too for bed" Bucky decided and added it to his overnight bag. "Is it dirty there?" he asked, as though second questioning how many pairs of jeans to bring.
"It's a farm," Steve chuckled.
"Two pairs of jeans should be fine" Sam rolled his eyes.
"I'm just so nervous," Bucky said softly.
"You and me both pal" Steve finally admitted. "Meeting her parents and asking for Y/N's hand in marriage in one weekend seems like a lot."
"You're going through with it?" Sam asked him.
"I just want her to be my wife, do things right. I'd make sure they are all at the wedding, hell, I'd have it in Canada if that's what she wants" Steve said.
"Well, you did get everyone to chip in and pay off all the family's bills so that Y/N wouldn't have to worry about it" Bucky pointed out.
"Not to mention he paid three quarters of it on his own" Sam chuckled. "Man, you're whipped."
"Like you aren't?" Bucky asked him.
"How are things going with Jillian, we haven't seen her at meals as much lately" Steve asked Sam.
"That's because she got into a book, and needed a few nights to finish it. But, she's moving in this weekend, so you'll be seeing a lot of her going forward" Sam said proudly with his chest puffed out. "Loki and Thor agreed to help move her, and she's been busy packing this week. I had to make some room for her books and bookshelves, and not to mention shoes and clothes" Sam said happily.
"That's not bad, good job" Bucky seemed to approve.
"Proud of you Sam, you stepped up" Steve grinned.
"She's worth it man. I've been waiting forever for this, and she's finally mine" Sam crooned. "Next weekend I'm taking her to meet my sister and nephews," he added.
"You're pulling a Steve" Bucky chuckled as he continued to pack his bag.
"So is there anything you've been working on this week?" Sam asked.
"I have been painting and drawing a lot. I figure at least one of the kids might be a girl, so I'm making a mermaid painting for her room. The boys I figure dragons and knights might be a good idea. But that will over the next few weeks" Steve admitted.
"How is the painting coming?" Bucky asked, his interest piqued so he stopped for a moment.
"Almost done, I worked on it this morning while you two were working out" Steve grinned. "I'll show you once it's done though. I might be done on Monday or Tuesday. Depending on missions of course," he added quickly.
"How far along is Y/N again? It's just, she's got a bit of a small belly. Not too much, but you can tell she's pregnant" Sam asked.

"Thirteen weeks, I am packing clothes that showcase her belly. I think she looks so beautiful" Steve said, looking a little starstruck.
"Also, does she ever get any sleep?" Bucky asked quickly.
"I let her sleep..." Steve drifted off. "Sometimes we just cuddle, but I'm addicted to her."
"Man, she probably needs a break," Sam chuckled. "You can't do any more damage," he said.
"No, but I like this look on her. I think I'll keep it up as much as possible" Steve smirked. "I'll probably let her sleep tonight, rest up before seeing her family. She deserves it," he said.

"Tibbs is probably going nuts not seeing her all the time anymore" Sam quipped.
"He is," Bucky quickly confirmed. "He keeps me up half the night because he wants to go home."
"We are probably still awake" Steve chuckled proudly. "Not tonight though, and Tibbs is staying with us for the foreseeable future. My hopefully future bride requested it."
"I'll still be here for anything you need with Tibbs. He's really grown on me" Bucky grinned. "Where is he today?" he asked.

"Y/N brought him to work with her. It's too quiet with him not around" Steve frowned. "I got used to him getting into everything if he doesn't have his treat balls that are all over the place" he chuckled.
"You knew what you signed up for" Sam barked a laugh.
"Did I ever" Steve grinned.

"Alright, I'm all set" Bucky said with flourish after adding enough boxer briefs and socks to last the weekend"

"Great, you guys can come help me finish packing then" Steve said, and started leading them out of Bucky's room when a small chirp came from Alpine. Bucky picked him up and put him on his shoulder and just followed. Alpine didn't have the tendency to get into any trouble, and usually stuck with him.

Walking into your shared suite, Sam and Bucky looked around the room seeing half the space had been taken up by Steve's art. Sam hadn't realized how many books you had brought with you until now and did a slow whistle. Steve grinned at him with a bit of pride.
"It certainly has a woman's touch now," Sam said.
"It looks a lot better," Steve admitted.
"Wait, is this the painting?" Bucky went to the covered canvas and pulled off the sheet to reveal you as the main focal point at the bottom of the ocean as a mermaid, and there were plenty of fish, algae, and a mountain scape above water. "You're telling me this isn't finished?" He looked at Steve incredulously.
"I wanted to add a few more details" Steve flushed a bit.
"I like the fact that she's pregnant in this painting too" Sam marveled at it. "Belly is a bit bigger than her's though"
"It'll get there. I want them to see their mom every day when they wake up" Steve grinned.
"I like the sea foam you added at the top, its like you're really looking between the under water, and land at the same time" Bucky pointed out.
"I had fun with that" Steve admitted. "Wanna see what else I've been working on?" he asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"Sure!" Sam and Bucky said at the same time. Steve went into his office and came out with a covered canvas and pulled off the cover to reveal a family portrait from one of your photographs you had on the wall. It looked recent enough to him, so he just went with it.
"This I kept from Y/N, so she would be surprised too" he said with pride.
"Damn man, you've got a lot of talent. She probably would want to keep it" Sam chuckled.
"No, I want to take a new family portrait with all of us, including Emily and Bucky" Steve winked at Bucky who immediately seemed a little flustered. "Then I'll do another one for here in the living room for her, and one for Bucky and Emily," Steve explained.
"Can you do one of me and my Jilly bean?" Sam asked hopefully.
"Sure man, anything for a friend" Steve said without hesitation. He recovered the painting and put it back into his office. "I'll have to take pictures first" Steve said with a smirk.
"Sounds good to me man, I just want to have something that proves she's all mine" Sam smiled happily.
"I've been looking on Pinterest, and I saw a few ideas for photographs, especially for women who love books. Its basically doing something that the characters in books do. I was going to ask Bucky to take a few pictures for me and Y/N with that style, or hire someone so I can do a painting about it" Steve admitted.

"You don't even have to ask, just tell me where and when" Bucky patted Steve on the back. Steve moved to the bedroom and they were surprised to see that the suitcase was already half packed, and he was just working on putting all of your clothes in. He had picked out outfits that were good for cool weather and hot weather, but all were a bit tighter around your midriff. He picked out a pair of jeans that were a little baggy on you, but mainly dresses since he loved seeing them on you. He made sure not to add any hair ties at all, because he loves seeing your hair down. He even included a side bag that had toiletries and makeup for the both of you. 

 "Looks like you're all set" Bucky commented as Steve finished packing the main suitcase. 

 "I'm just too excited," Steve admitted as he closed the suitcase.
