"We're all so proud of you!" Nat squealed as she pulled you tightly into her arms for a hug.

You had just graduated from college. Everyone had been there to see you, Steve made sure that not one single person had missed you moving onto a new chapter of your life. You couldn't have been more thankful for everything that he had done for you.

When you were younger, both of your parents had died on a mission. They were both SHIELD agents, well-known and loved by everyone, or, so you had heard. You didn't remember much of them. Years on from that, you met Steve, who took you in under his wing. He treated you like the child he had never had, just as you treated him like a father. He had raised you to be the woman you were now. Of course, with the help of Bucky and Nat, your favourite Uncle and Aunt. Steve has never officially adopted you, it just sort of happened, but, you planned to change that.

"Thank you all for coming!" You grinned as you looked at your very dysfunctional, superhuman family.

"We wouldn't miss it for the world, dear (Y/N)." Thor smiled. He had cleaned up nice in a suit, although, it looked like it may burst at the seams any minute now.

"We'll need to get you ready for your party, Little Missy." Natasha ordered, as she began to direct you to one of the cars.

"Did someone say party?" You heard Tony ask, making you chuckle. Despite getting on in age, turning down a party was never an option for him.

"Are you excited to give Steve his surprise?" Natasha questioned you as the driver took to both back home to the tower.

"Yeah, it's been so hard to keep its secret for him." You told her, turning to look out the window and the streets that quickly fleeted by. "But it will be so worth it."

"Can I have everyone's attention." You called into the microphone as you tried to catch everyone's attention. "Tony, can you stop downing shots for one second and listen." You joked, making everyone chuckle.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming." You smiled. "Now, I would like to thank somebody else. Someone, who from the moment I met him, has cared for me as if I were his own. I'm sure everyone here is familiar with Steve Rogers, and if you're not then you have most likely been living under a rock for your entire life." A few chuckles arose from the large crowd of people. "I never knew my parents, they died when I was young. I was sure from a young age that I would never be able to experience the love that a parent gives their child, but I was wrong. Steve has given me everything I could ever imagine, he made my dreams as a child come true. He made sure I always felt loved and never lonely. He did his very best at raising me and I could never be more thankful." You spoke as tears lined your eyes. Your eyes locked with Steve's, you could tell he was trying not to cry as Sam patted his shoulder.

"Could you come here?" You asked, gesturing for him you come over. He nodded, making his way through the crowd. He finally made his way to you.

"I have a surprise for you." You admitted, pulling the papers from behind your back. A look of confusion washed over his face.

"This is supposed to be your day, (Y/N)." Steve joked, nervously laughing.

"Yeah, well suck it up." You joked. "I want to thank you for everything you have done for me Steve. You were the Dad I never had. I just wanted to make it official." You grinned, handing him the papers.

"What?" He questioned, his eyes scanning over the papers. You watched as he realised what they were.

"Really?" He looked up at you, tears falling freely from his eyes. You nodded. "I'm officially your dad?" He cried, referring to the adoption paper.

"Yeah." You smiled. Steve or should you say, your Dad, pulled you into a giant bear hug. His arms held your much smaller frame protectively against him as he cried into your shoulder. You laughed happily through the tears.

Everyone cheered, clapping their hands. The team watched on happily as they saw the surprise that they had been keeping from Steve quickly unveil. You both pulled away, wiping away your tears.

"So, I guess I can officially say that my Dad is The 'Captain America'?" You joked. The crowd bursting into laughter at your comment.
