Returning Home

Part 17

Wanda called Maria to bring the dress and they did go to the beauty parlor.

Natasha dolled up, she wanted to look perfect, for her husband. She just realized what she feels for him.

They got her hair tied in a bun, loose strands fell on her face. Dark makeup covered her eyes, with a deep purple lipstick to match her dress.

She wore a beautiful deep purple dress, with thin beady straps falling on her shoulders. Her back and neck highly exposed. The dress tight on her waist and hips, loose below.

Matching earrings and bracelets with high heels completed her look.

"You look so beautiful " Maria said.

"I want to" she replied, "For him"

Natasha was helped up, and then they both got ready for it.

All ready, they headed back home.

James was dressed in a tux, looking adorable, like his siblings. But he was tensed, roaming around the room.

"Jamey? Why you worry? " Anthony asked innocently.

"I.. Anty please, don't irritate me" he said, "Go play with Maggie".

Anthony made a face, and left. Steve saw this and came to him.

"James? What's wrong son? " he asked.

"Nothing daddy. " James lied, "Daddy? Why do you love mommy so much? ".

Steve smiled, "Because she is my hope and strength Jamey. When I returned from the ice, if not for her, I would have been stuck in the memories of my past. I would have never fit in. "

"She will love you back daddy" James said hugging him.

"She already does son, she just is a little confused. " Steve rubbed his back, "Now stop worrying, your friend is coming remember? "

"Yeah" James blushed and ran away.

Natasha got back and headed straight to James, who came running to her.

"Mommy! You look so beautiful " he said hugging her.

"You look adorable Jamey, so much like your daddy" she said kissing his cheeks. 

"Jamey, sweety, I... I remember. I remember how much I love your daddy" she said eagerly.

James's smile melted her heart.

"Oh mommy" he hugged her again, "I am so happy"

"Me too James" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Where is your daddy? " she asked.

"He is in the hall" James replied.

Natasha kissed his forehead then headed to the hall. James folded his hands and thanked God.

Steve was standing by the bar, not drinking, he never drank, he only stood there to prevent Natasha from over drinking, or waited for her to come.

"Steve! " he heard her, he turned and forgot to breathe.

She was standing there, breathing heavily, her beauty clouded his mind, and her eyes, he could see... The love they always shared, was visible in her eyes again.

"Natasha? " he managed to speak somehow.

She walked close to him, and put her hands on his shoulders, looking into his eyes. He held onto her waist gently.

"You.. " he tried to speak, but she silenced him with her finger.

"Shsh! " she pouted, she looked around, there was a lot of crowd.

"Public display of affection makes people very uncomfortable " she said.

Steve's eyes widened, and she crushed his lips with hers. Steve grabbed her hair, deepening the kiss, their tongues danced with each other, he ravished her mouth, taking her taste in. The hand on her waist, tightened. They were glued to each other, lost in each other, mad for each other. As they always had been. Their love spread around them. The love that brought them together, gave them their beautiful children.

They had to part for air, and Steve looked at her longingly.

"Natasha? Oh Natasha! " he kissed her cheeks, her chin, and then her neck, trailing down to her cleavage. She laughed, with tears of happiness clouding her vision.

"I love you so much Nat" he said holding her head.

"I love you too, Steve. I love you more then anything in my life" she said.

He pulled her into a deep embrace, they found solace in each other's arms. They felt comfortable, they felt at home. He was her home. His heart was her permanent really residence.

"I am so sorry for forgetting that Steve" she said, crying now, looking into his eyes.

"No, no, its wasn't your fault" he said, "don't blame yourself for anything. Whatever happened, was just a test, which we passed Nat"

"Why are you such an optimist? " she asked.

"Because you are a helpless pessimist" he said.

Both laughed, and hugged again.

"Mommy, daddy" Anthony said.

They both parted and saw their kids around them. With James's hand on his head.

"I am sorry, they are very stupid they don't understand " James said.

Natasha and Steve sat down.

"You are all part of our love silly" she said messing James's hair.

James smiled, Natasha and Steve opened their arms and all of them shared a beautiful family hug.

"Mama, papa" Joey and Tom said.

"Mommy, daddy, we love you" said the rest.

"We love you too" Steve and Natasha said together.

As they were lost in their little beautiful world. Tony clicked pictures of them silently.

"My beautiful family " he said, and Clint, Maria, Wanda and Sam smiled with him.
