Make It To Me (Chris Evans AU Fic)

Signals

The sound of the front door opening echoed through the cozy home, alerting Nina that Chris was home from work. She quickly grabbed the piece of paper that was on the counter and hid it in the box on the table before getting back to mixing up the sauce for dinner.

Chris was busy taking off his jacket, gunbelt and his shoes by the front door and Sarge didn't want to wait for his master to go see Nina. The dog trotted into the kitchen where he wagged his tail happily as Nina showered him with affection and a treat.

"You spoil that dog," Chris chuckled when he finally padded into the kitchen in his socks. "I swear, you're always giving him treats!"

"He deserves them, he works so hard," She cooed, rubbing behind his ears.

He couldn't help but chuckle before asking his wife, "Do I get any treats?"

Nina stood up and finally laid eyes on him. Her heartbeat rose when she saw him standing there in his navy blue pants with his illegally tight tee shirt stretched across his toned chest. A playful smile was on his lips and his blue eyes sparkled.

"Mhmm, well what kind of treats do you want?" Nina couldn't help but softly tease while tucking some of her short hair behind her ear.

Chris wrapped his arms around her tightly, letting his big hands come down to grab her round behind in his hands. He squeezed softly before smirking down at her and lowly hummed, "I think you know."

She blushed softly before Chris brought his lips down to hers and kissed her deeply. His hands pulled her flush against his body and she melted when she felt him suck on her lower lip. The feeling made her moan and when Sarge heard the noise, he instantly went into protect mode and barked loudly at Chris before growling.

"What the hell?" Chris muttered while pulling away from Nina.

Sarge put himself in front of Nina to protect her and Chris didn't understand. He knelt down and held his hand out, letting the dog sniff to recognize that it was him. When Sarge knew who it was, his tail wagged and Chris wrinkled his eyebrows up in confusion while looking up at Nina, "I don't know what is up with this guy lately? It seems like the past month or so, he's been so protective of you, even to me."

"Well," Nina smiled while leaning down to pet the german shepherd. "You know how dog's can sense when your hormones change?"

"Yeah..." He trailed off, his blue eyes looking at his wife inquisitively, not understanding what she meant.

"I actually have a present for you that I think will explain it," She said, bringing him over to the table.

Nina guided him to sit down at the small wooden table while she sat across from him. She then pushed the medium sized box toward him. Chris gave her a confused look, but decided to answer his own questions and just open the present. He pulled the lid off and pulled out the piece of paper inside it before his eyes studied what was on it.

Nina had drawn him a picture of him looking down at something he was holding in his arms. When he looked at what she had drawn in his arms, he saw a small bundle of blankets with the little face of a baby. He just sat there for a long time, looking at the picture and realizing what it meant. His jaw dropped and he looked up at Nina's dark eyes that were glossed with tears.

"Are we.... Is this... does that mean.... ARE YOU PREGNANT?" His blue eyes were wide.

Her entire face was glowing while she smiled from ear to ear and nodded vigorously. In an instant, Chris was squishing his wife in his arms tightly while he buried his face in the crook of her neck. He picked her up and spun her around in the small kitchen while he laughed happily.

When he put Nina down on her feet, she had joyful tears streaming down her face. Chris put his big hands on either side of her face, pressing a messy loving kiss to her lips that mixed with her salty tears. Both of their hearts were racing when they parted and they just stared into each other's eyes as the realization sunk in.

"We're going to have a baby, Chris," She breathlessly smiled.

"I can't believe it! I'm so happy Nina, I'm just so happy," He muttered while holding her tight against his chest.

"Me too Chris," Nina smiled while he used his thumbs to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

Chris pressed soft kisses all over her face then squeezing her one more time before he looked down at Sarge who was standing at Nina's side and said, "Well that does explain why Sarge has been so protective of you."

"Between you and him, I swear I'm not going to be able to do anything this entire pregnancy," She softly laughed.

All he could do was smile before bringing his warm hand to slip under her shirt and rest on top of her stomach before telling you, "You got that right babe."
