Meeting Your Parents (Sam Wilson)

Sam clutched the handle to the blue and green bag. He should've wrapped it... Kids loved wrapped presents not gift bags. You held onto Sam's other hand, "Would you relax? It's a 7 year old's birthday party... you'll be fine."

Sam sighed. You thought it was adorable that this man was nervous about meeting your parents. He did two tours, helped bring down SHIELD and did a bit of time in an underwater supermax prison and he was scared of Mr. and Mrs. (Y/L/N). "Logically, I know I'll be fine... for some reason though it feels like I won't be."

"They'll love you." You assured him and knocked on the door. As soon as you saw the birthday boy opened the door (his mother behind him) you shouted excitedly, "Happy Birthday!"

"Aunt (Y/N)! You got me an Avenger?!" The little boy's face was lit up, "This is the best birthday ever!"

You giggled at the young child's expression, "Man our present is going to seem really lame now."

He turned to your sister, "Can he meet my friends? Please!"

"If it's okay with him." Lisa smiled and as if on que, her son grabbed Sam's hand and began dragging him to the back yard. You mouthed an apology to Sam, but he just laughed and followed the small boy.

"Ooh, he's cute." Your sister winked and nudged you with her elbow.

"He really is..." You zoned out for a moment. You were obviously very smitten with the man, but you didn't often daydream unless he was being super adorable: Like being all smiles and making about six kids' days. "Be nice, he's really nervous about meeting everyone."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm always nice."

"Mom, Dad this is – " You were interrupted by your mother pulling the man into a hug.

"Sam! We've heard so much about you. It's so good to finally meet you." It wasn't quite what you expected, but she seemed to like him so that was definitely a good start.

"Likewise, Mr. and Mrs. (Y/L/N). Thank you for inviting me." Sam smiled and shook your father's hand.

"That's a firm shake you got there. Very impressive." He shot you a wink of approval.

You were a little surprised. You knew they would like Sam... You just expect them to like him this much so quickly. They might've fallen in love quicker than your nephew did. It was a bit odd, they usually had a few questions to ask before confessing their undying love. But Sam looked relieved and happy so you tried not to be weirded out by their behavior.

You tried... However about 2 hours of practically being ignored was starting to work on your nerves. Normally you loved visiting your family, but that day you were especially glad to be headed out the front door.

"Well you were right. That went very well." Sam slipped his arm around your shoulders as you walked to his car.

"Mmmhmmm."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. It went great. They loved you." You kind of hated that you were feeling jealous, but didn't stop you from mumbling under your breath. "I think they liked you more than me."

"Hold up." Sam stopped and grinned at you, "Are you jealous?"

"No."

"Oh, you so are! Baby, I know how you're feeling, but it's not your fault. You did have to compete with an Avenger." Sam laughed, but stopped when he realized you didn't thik it was that funny. "They don't like me more than you. Who in their right mind would choose me over you?"

You rolled your eyes and hugged him, resting your head on his chest, "I'm sorry. I really am glad that they liked you."

"Me too, because I'm afraid they were gonna have to deal with me. I'm in for the long haul." He kissed your forehead.

A/N: Only two more! So close! Haha again major thanks to all of you! You are our inspiration to keep updating!
