His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 70

Saying goodbye to the team was one of the hardest things you ever had to do. Especially Steve. You cried, and you saw he was holding back tears of his own as he held you in the middle of the tarmac between the two jets that were going in two different directions.
"I don't want to let you go," you whispered to him.
"I don't want to go either, but we have to take down this base and I'm needed, dove. This may be one of my last missions for a while though, so don't worry too much" he assured you.
"Kiss me like you mean it" you told him, and he didn't disappoint. He grabbed you by the back of the neck and he started out softly just feeling out your lips. You didn't have the patience for a soft kiss. You licked his bottom lip and his tongue immediately entered your mouth and fought for dominance in the kiss. You couldn't help but let out a small moan. The things the man did to you, you couldn't never convey with words that were just in the english language. You kissed him like it was the last time. You put all of your love and trust into the kiss and his beard burned your skin, but you didn't care. He was your Steve, and he always would be.
"I love you, dove," he said, pulling back from the kiss. "Nothing will ever change that" he promised.
"I love you more than life itself" you told him.
"I feel the same way," he said softly.
"Come home to me in one piece" you ordered softly.
"Stay safe, take care of our babies and yourself" he ordered back. One more gentle kiss was shared before Bucky was grabbing him by the back of his Captain America suit. "Jerk, I'll break your fingers" Steve warned him.
"The jet is about to take off, with or without you" Bucky told him.
"Come on girly, we got to go" Jillian said from behind you. She had already said her goodbyes to Sam. The jets were both loaded with everything both teams would need, and everyone in the compound was given some time off and paid for an indefinite amount of time. Tony said he would send out a mass email when it was time to come home. You knew that meant when the mission was over. A few of the staff members had already stated they were staying, so Tony ordered the Iron Legion to take care of the compound in everyone's absence.

Steve backed up to his jet, watching you do the exact same. Neither of you wanted to say goodbye for the moment. But it was a necessary evil. You finally turned and went into the back of your jet and looked over your shoulder to see Steve standing inside his jet and waving to you. You blew him a kiss and he caught it with his hand and placed it on his lips before blowing you one as well and you mirrored his actions. You finally sat down as the back of the jet closed up with Happy flying you out. You strapped in and watched as the jet took to the skies and the clouds started to obscure your view.
"They'll be okay," Pepper assured you.
"You don't know that" you said, tears still streaming down your face. Jillian passed you a tissue to wipe your nose and eyes.
"They always are," she said easily. "Tony doesn't take the same risks he used to, he learns from his mistakes and he always comes back with the whole team" she gave a small smile.
"Thank you, I needed to hear that" you said softly.
"So did I," Jillian admitted, wiping a silent tear from her face.

When you landed in Malibu, the weather was quite warmer than where you were in New York. Jillian and Pepper had stayed by your side the whole time and Happy made sure that the jet was unloaded without any assistance, before he showed you to the SUV that would drive you to the Malibu mansion. You took off your jacket and got in the back seat with Jillian and Pepper rode shotgun. Happy was an expert driver and the first place he stopped was at Starbucks and got everyone something nice and cool to drink that was to your different tastes. He then did the long trek to the mansion.
When you arrived at the mansion it was the same. Happy unloaded the car while you walked in with nothing but your jacket and purse and the clothes on your back. Pepper showed you to your rooms which were quite large. You had a large king size bed to yourself, a private bathroom with a tub that had jets, and a walk in closet. You unpacked your clothes and grabbed your designated laptop and brought it downstairs where Pepper gave you your office. It's usually Tony's office so it was a bit cluttered, but it worked for your needs. You went to the desk and cleared it off so you could work. Jillian brought you a large Stanley of iced water for you since you already finished your drink from Starbucks. You thanked her and logged in quickly to check on the team. They were already on the move. You looked at their suit trackers and everyone was safe. It was apparent that Bruce already Hulked out, so they weren't wasting any time. You couldn't help yourself as you started waiting for the data download. You weren't waiting long before Visions data started coming in. So you started going through the data with the help of Friday, looking for any answers to your questions that you had seen in the data previously. This was one of the main bases. You hacked into their security cameras after changing your VPN to Germany, and watched as they stormed the base. It seemed like there was an impossible amount of Hydra agents, but the team was holding strong. Before you knew it, your four hours were up and you closed the laptop, hoping that Friday would continue looking through the data. You had weeks worth of work to go through already, and that's not including what the rest of the team would be getting.

You walked out to the spacious living room where Pepper was working on the coffee table for Stark enterprises.
"You're not in your office?" you asked her.
"No, I'm technically not working" she gave a bashful smile. "I was just going over some emails that needed to be addressed before I start working tomorrow" she said. "What do you want for supper, I'll have it Uber'ed in.
"Hmm... Chinese food" you decided and sat down beside her. She closed her laptop and went onto her phone to start ordering food. The sun was setting in the large picturesque window and you could see out to the ocean from where you were sitting. You loved it, but your heart still hurt.
"Tomorrow we are going shopping after work I think. Tony also made it so I'm only working half days" Pepper rolled her eyes.
"Oh?" you asked in surprise.
"We are three months pregnant," she beamed.
"Oh my land! Congratulations!" you hugged her. Jillian came into the room and yelped and came to join in on the hug.
"Congratulations girly!" Jillian said with an excited tone.
"We will be giving birth not too far away from each other" you bounced in your seat.
"You're having triplets, you'll be giving birth long before me. I'm only having one, so I'll be doing the full nine months" she flushed.
"I looked it up, it's thirty two weeks usually" you nodded in understanding. "But still, our babies will grow up together," you said excitedly.
"About that..." Jillian said with flushed cheeks. "That makes three of us," she said, biting her bottom lip. "But I'm only a month in, so let's not talk about it too much," she said.
"You guys didn't waste time" you giggled.
"When you know, you know" Jillian sat down on the other side of you, so you were in the middle of the couch.
"No wonder you stopped taking morning appointments," Pepper smiled broadly.
"Yes, morning sickness has been kicking my ass," she admitted. "Sam said he would like it if I took some time off work for a bit and just be a house wife and take care of the baby. He says it worries him that I'm on my feet all the time and with sharp instruments" she giggled.
"Is that something you want?" you asked her.
"Kind of... I'm not sure yet" Jillian admitted.
"Steve said he's fine with me still working. But I have the choice not to. But I want to" you said.
"Tony would have me locked down if he could," Pepper laughed.
"No wonder you two didn't order caffeine earlier" you giggled. "I should have seen it coming," you admitted.
"It's better to find out this way, and not speculate" Pepper danced around the fact that you found it important to have consent.
"This is true," you nodded.
"So maternity clothes tomorrow" you beamed. "We are all going to need it" you shrugged.
"And books, I didn't pack anything except my Kindle" Jillian said.
"So many books," Pepper quickly agreed.
"You can have some of the Loki water if you like, it helps with morning sickness ladies" you told them.
"I've got some. He packed me two months worth" Pepper grinned. "I think one month of that belongs to Miss Jillian," she added with a light laugh.

"I think so too" you gave a soft smile. "Im itching to go check on their suits again, but I know I'm locked out until tomorrow" you frowned.
"They'll be okay for now. They know if they get injured to head back to the jet where medical is waiting for them" Pepper told you. "Fury sent a medical team and some back up Shield agents to help out with the mission. Well, three jets of them anyways."
"Oh wow, that's fantastic!" you smiled happily. "Maybe the mission won't be as long as I'm afraid it will be."
"So what kind of books are we getting?" Pepper asked.
"Dark romance" both you and Jillian said at the same time, and Pepper laughed.
"I think I like the contemporary romance ones, maybe with a fantasy added in." Pepper admitted softly, brushing back her hair. You spied a hickey on the side of her neck, and you chuckled knowing you had plenty of your own. Jillian leaned into you and you wrapped your arm around her, and then Pepper mirrored her actions from the other side of you. You wrapped your arms around both of them, and kissed both of them on the forehead.
"I hope that food arrives soon, I'm getting hungry" you said as your stomach growled loudly and the three of you shared a laugh.
"Me too" they both said at the same time.
