The Choice (Steve Rodgers x Reader)

Nine

"And then your mommy said 'Tony, don't you think that shirt is too open?' And guess what? Uncle Tony got laid that night anyway, because he's awesome." Tony smiled as he spoke to your belly. It had taken a lot of convincing from the rest of the team to get him to do it, but he finally caved when Nat told him it would recognise his voice when it's born. You never took Tony to be the type of guy to like babies, but apparently he couldn't wait for yours to be born. Pepper had told you when you had gone shopping for baby supplies one day and you couldn't believe what you were hearing. But now, as he was crouched next to you and wouldn't shut up, it was a bit more believable.
"Only one month to go and you'll get to meet your awesome uncle Tony." You smiled whilst soothing over your bump.
"Only one month until I spoil you rotten." You felt your heart swell and placed your hand over Tony's. He and Pepper were almost like parents to you. Since you never really had any, you found comfort in them. Tony took you on to the team in the first place when you were 18 and had always looked out for you, even when he didn't need to. It took a lot for him to not intervene when you started dating Bucky. And Pepper was your go to for advice or comfort before Steve. She would always braid your hair before missions when you first joined the team and constantly made sure you ate properly.
"I love you, Tony." He rolled his eyes and sat next to you. "I'm serious. This isn't the hormones talking. I know you're not one for emotions but I'm just really thankful you and Pepper, and everyone else for that matter, are in my life." He looked at you as his arm rested around your shoulder. He didn't know how to respond, but he knew that he saw you as an important part in his life. Though he thought he was too young to have any children, he always thought of you as a daughter, maybe if he had had a one night stand with someone when he was 20 or something.
"I mean, I guess I love you too." He shrugged, trying not to smile. You grinned and wrapped your arm around his torso.

"It seems like yesterday that I recommended you try a pregnancy test." Bruce smiled as he tapped away on his screen.
You laughed and shook your head. "Weird how fast it's gone." You mumbled before putting another fry in your mouth.
"I thought I told you not to eat in my lab?" He smiled, continuing his work.
"I thought I told you I had cravings?" You shot back causing him to laugh. "What are you doing anyway?" You asked as you got up and waddled towards him.
Now I would put what Bruce said, but you had only reacted by blinking your eyes with a blank look of confusion, that there is no point in quoting him.
"I'm doing really hard science." He sighed, a little sad that the only person who understood these things was Tony.

"Ooooh! What about this one?" Wanda squealed with excitement. She held up a small too too dress with 'mommy's little dancer' on the front of it.
"No...." you smiled as you wheeled the trolley round to the best of your ability, since you had a eight month old bump in front of you.
"Why? It's cute!" She pouted and looked down at it again.
"Because I don't know if it's a boy or a girl." You shrugged, picking up a cream baby grow. "And before you say anything, I don't want to know the gender until it's out." You pointed a finger towards her in a stern way. She closed her mouth and smirked.
"You may not know...but I do." She looked to your bump and grinned. "Fetiță." She mumbled, using her many languages against you.
"Whatever. Come on, let's go look at bottles." You waved her along. Wanda continued to smile to herself. Her powers were brilliant, obviously. So she knew the gender and the outcome of the child. Boy, were you in for a treat.
