His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 66

By the time you got home, you were fast asleep and Steve woke you up while unbuckling you. You moaned softly while Bucky took Libby, Molly and Tibbs from you and Steve picked you up like a princess.
"Are we home?" you asked a little hopefully.
"Yes dove, we are home" Steve kissed your forehead sweetly. You hummed and snuggled into him more.
"Welcome home!" you heard Sam and Jillian calling from up on the balcony. You opened your eyes and waved at them before wrapping your arms around Steve's shoulders again.
"You look so cute," Jillian cooed.
"Did you want to put me down?" you asked Steve.
"Not a chance" he chuckled. You nuzzled more into him and nodded. With Bucky behind him they walked you right up to your shared suite with Steve and set you down on the couch and let the others off their leashes. Molly started taking stock of her new space, while Libby was running around and dancing at everyone's feet wanting to play now.
"I better bring her out to pee first" you said, realizing you had left your flats at home and were still sporting your cowboy boots.
"I've got Libby" Steve shook his head. You rest, we will bring everything up" Steve advised you and you nodded, kicking off your boots.
"Alright, but you better hurry back cowboy" you winked at Steve. His eyes darkened with lust and he nodded. You picked up Tibbs, who was feeling neglected and headed through the bedroom to the balcony and sat down on the swing, seeing that your roses were well cared for in your absence.
"Hey girl hey" Jillian said as you sat down.
"How was the weekend?" you asked excitedly.
"It was good. I'm all moved in, so we are officially neighbours" she smirked.
"And I thought this weekend couldn't get any better," you giggled.
"Did you want to have a wine and gossip night tonight?" Jillian asked. You looked down and saw Steve with Libby and Bucky carrying a few bags. You were busy admiring Steve's ass from where you were.
"I can't drink wine," you laughed, rubbing your pregnant belly. "But I'm a bit tired from the trip. Tomorrow after work?" you asked her.
"You bet!" Jillian grinned. "So how was the weekend?" she pumped her eyebrows suggestively.
"A dry weekend. We mainly visited my family, and spent time doing errands and stuff" you shrugged. "I did come down with a fever" you said, touching your flushed cheeks.
"You better get that checked out," she said worriedly.
"A doctor wanted to send off some tests, but we decided to wait on Doctor Cho" you shrugged. "Shouldn't be too long to get in to see her."
"You've been working so hard, and now you spent two full days away. You just look exhausted" Sam frowned.

"I'll get over it, you should be more worried about the big mission coming up" you reminded him.
"I heard that I'm coming with you to Malibu," Jillian said. "Is it that dangerous of a mission?"
"It's going to be, yes. That's why Tony probably gave everyone a week's vacation to get away from the compound," you nodded.

"He did, he even told me to get my tan on at breakfast this morning" Jillian giggled. Tibbs curled up in your lap and seemed at peace for a moment.
"I see you brought home a cat and a dog" Sam chuckled.
"The cat is what we went for, the dog is Steve's" you grinned. "She's named Liberty, but we call her Libby for short. She was left abandoned at the farm" you frowned. "I don't understand why people would do that. It's unforgivable" you said with strength in your tone.
"Well, at least they lucked out and ended up on your family's farm, I assume?" Sam asked.

"Yes, they did luck out that way," you nodded and went back to watching Steve walk around. He oozed sex appeal no matter what. You were wondering now that he has your father's permission, if and when he planned on proposing. You half wished he would have done it when you were with your family, just so the anxiety would stop. You were already anxious about the big mission coming tomorrow night. You half wished you could come, but they needed your intel from where you are going to be working in Malibu. Jillian and Sam continued talking with each other and tried to reel you in, but you were too swept away with the way Steve was handling himself. He was already training Libby to only pee on the grass, and he rewarded her with a treat for doing so. You couldn't help but smile. Bucky was carrying in all the suitcases and bringing them upstairs. You heard him moving around in your living room, since you had left the balcony door open for Molly when she decided to come and visit with you. You threw a thank you over your shoulder, and Bucky advised he was going to check in with Emily. You took out your cell phone and texted Eric that you were home, then your mom and dad just to be sure. You put your phone away again, and decided to concentrate on being in the present.

Steve came back into the apartment and came out with Libby to sit beside you. He greeted both Sam and Jillian, and wrapped his arm around you while kissing your temple. Bucky came out and you all greeted him quickly. He smiled and gave a small wave before jumping over the railing and coming to sit on your balcony with his eyes glued to his phone.
"So how was meeting Emily?" Sam asked him.
"I'm going to marry that woman" Bucky grinned from ear to ear.
"Careful, I said that too," Steve warned him.
"I see it working out for you two" Bucky quipped.

"He is right, you do have daddy's permission now" you smiled up at Steve.
"Patience is a virtue," he added a little cheekily. You gave a soft pout, but you knew he would cave before you would.
"How are the triplets?" Jillian asked.
"Good so far. We saw them over the weekend on a screen. They are steadily growing" Steve said with pride. "We are at sixteen weeks, not thirteen like we thought."
"Have you really been dating for more than four months?" Jillian asked and you flushed.
"Yes" you nodded and gave a broad smile. "But it feels like we've known each other forever."
"Can't argue with that," Steve said lovingly. "Are you hungry?" he asked worriedly.
"I have the munchies," you nodded. "I could eat," you decided.
"I'll go make you some popcorn with the dill pickle salt on it" he gave you another kiss and ran back in. You stood up and followed him in. He quickly shooed you back to going outside. You sat back on the swing and Bucky chuckled.
"He likes taking care of you, doll," Bucky told you.

"I know, but I wanted to help regardless" you sighed, holding Tibbs close to you.
"Oh, I had to return these!" Jillian ran into her and Sam's suite and came back out with a small stack of books, handing them to you over the railing.
"Thank you," you smiled.
"No, thank you! I might have to come over some time and get some more. Sam bought me a bunch so I'm good for now" she grinned.
"Mom and Steve bought me more too. I should go unpack..." you drifted off seeing Bucky look up at you sharply and he shook his head.
"Wait for Stevie, he said something about doing laundry tonight and he didn't want you to over exert yourself" Bucky said.

"On what planet am I overexerting myself? He literally carries me most of the time lately" you pointed out.

"The one where you are carrying his triplets" Bucky said dryly. "But good news, the dry weekend is over" he added with a wink and you blushed.
"I heard that!" Steve called out.
"You're damn right it is. If you hear knocking it's him tapping out" you chuckled at your own joke.
"The only one tapping out is you, dove." Steve came around the corner with your popcorn.
"Thank you" you said with a large smile on your face. He took Tibbs and placed him on his lap, then handed you the popcorn. You started digging in right away, offering some to everyone, but the only one to take some was Tibbs. Molly came out and jumped up on your shoulders and started to purr, so you took a moment to introduce her.

"Well hello there" Jillian seemed in love already.
"This is Molly, and that's Libby on the floor that I was talking about before," you smiled.

"Which ones are coming to spend the night with me?" Bucky asked dryly.
"None, we made a deal. They all stay," Steve answered quickly.
"Good, because I'm getting the cold shoulder from Alpine right now," Bucky admitted. "Poor guy, I left him for almost three whole days. His food dish was still full when I came in and the water fountain was still full."

"Try a can of wet food" you suggested. "Works like a charm."
"Do you have any?" Bucky asked hopefully. "I ran out," he added quickly.

"I sure do," you nodded. "I'll get you one" you started to pick Molly up off your shoulders when Steve stopped you.
"I'll get it" he said and you sat back again.

"I am living for this princess treatment," Jillian teased. "I love the dress."
"Thank you, it's my moms" you admitted. "She said I could borrow them."
"Well, they fit better than your other clothes. Maybe we should enjoy Malibu pregnancy fashion while we are down there. After they are done their mission of course" she suggested.
"Actually, that sounds nice," you smiled. "I'm sure Pepper knows her way around, if not Happy would" you couldn't wait.
 "I can't wait" Jillian grinned and you saw Steve come out and hand the can of cat food to Bucky before his eyes settled on you and the little bit of chest showing. His nostrils flared and he sat down next to you again, putting Tibbs back on his lap again. There were some other things you couldn't wait for either.
