Little miss America (captain Americas daughter)

**Steves PoV**
It was getting late now and buck still hadn't come home. And Peggy was very bored. And I learned that if no one plays with a bored Peggy she talks, and talks, and talks. I practically know everything about her now. I know that she used to have a pet hamster but one day she put it in its ball and left it forgetting that the back door was open and the hamster got out and she's never seen it again. I know that she doesn't have a favourite colour because she feels sorry for the colours that aren't her favourite so she decided to like them all. I know that she knows the lyrics to near enough every Disney song and that her favourite film is beauty and the beast, even though she claims to be to old for princesses. I know that she thinks Nat's her new 'momma'. i also found out that she had two uncles and a grampy as well as a nanny and papa. I know her favourite fruit such of course is plums and strawberries. I know that's she been to Florida and Texas and California. I know that her papa's name is Sean and her nanny's name is Mary. You name it. I probably know it. But now that's she has practically told me her life story and everything about her she's bored and poking my cheeks and asking when her 'dads' coming home cause she was tierd. The main reason she isn't in bed is because as much as it is annoying how she goes on, and on, I like hearing my daughter speak. And how she'll tell me everything about her. But if I don't put her to bed now. We're gonna have a grumpy Peggy.
"C'mon Peggy. I'll put you to bed. You're dad will be home in the morning." I said. She looked up at me and smiled. She grabbed my hand and we walked to Bucky's room. She got into her bed that nat got her at the mall earlier and I tucked her up.
"Do you like my bed uncle Steve? My momma said it was very pretty." Her bed was like a big Cinderella carriage with a bed inside. It was cute that she reminds everyone she doesn't like princesses. I think she does but she wants to look tough.
"I think it's the coolest bed in the history of the world." I told her. She looked up and me with those eyes that could just be a reflection of mine. And her heartwarming smile.
"Really?" She asked in the smallest voice possible. A whisper even. Her eyes where full of happiness and wonder. She's a strong kid.
"Really. Go to sleep Peggy okay? You're tierd and you're dad won't be happy if you're grumpy." I told her with a smile.
"Okay uncle Steve."
"Goodnight Peggy"
"Goodnight best friend" She said already on the verge of falling asleep. I got up from her bed and walked to the door quietly and turned the lights out. I slowly closed the door then walked to the living room.
It had been about ten muinets later when I heard a door squeak open and I heard little patters on the ground. I turned around and was greeted with a sad Peggy. She was crying.
"Hey Peggy what's wrong?"
"I'm scared I'm there alone uncle Steve. What if the bad guys get me?" She asked between sobs. My heart broke to see her like this. No one should have to go through something like this, never mind a five year old girl.
"Come here Peggy I'll cuddle you till you fall asleep and I'll stay with you. Okay?" I asked I. Hopes she would want to. I just really wanted to pick her up and tell her her dad was here and she didn't need to be scared but I couldn't.

She nodded her head and walked up to me with her arms stretched out.
"Come here Peggy. You don't need to be scared I'm here."
It was about five minutes later when I was stroking her hair that she spoke up.
"You would be a good daddy uncle Steve. I need to teach you how to play properly because you just sit on you're but all day but . . . You'd be a great dad."
"Why would I need to learn Peggy?"
"Incase you fall in love." She told me looking up with her big beautiful eyes.
"My angel momma told me that when you love someone very, very much sometimes you want to be a daddy or a momma." She said
"And you might fall in love uncle Steve." Then She yawned. And drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face. I didn't love her mom that night it was just a mistake. That happens to be the best thing that happened to me. It turned out to be a beautiful mistake. I wonder if her nanny and papa are still alive or if hydra got them too. Because if they're still alive it's probably best for her to see them. All this was floating through my head while I rubbed circles on peggys back. Then the elevator dinged meaning someone was here. Bucky. I gave him a smile and put my finger to my lips to tell him that Peggy was asleep. He nodded and walked over to Peggy and picked her up gave her a kiss on her forehead. He nodded and walked away. With my daughter. I was hoping the universe would let me have some more time with her. Even though it's been the whole day. It feels like it's not enough. It should be dad and uncle Bucky. But it's the other way around. I'm gonna have to tell someone. I can't keep it to myself. But she's happy with Bucky. Happier than she would be with me. Because she knows him. He's her dad. I'm uncle Steve. Her best friend.
