Sheilded (Steve x reader)

22.

"Peggy Rogers!" You said standing in your daughters doorway. She froze, she was sat in Steve's shield wearing one of Tony's suit heads. You giggled at the sight of your one year old daughter. She took the mask off with a sheepish smile.

"Space!" She cried pointing upwards. You laughed and scooped her up.

"You can finish your space mission later, but were going to see Grandad now." You picked the helmet. "And we can give this back to him too." You looked at Steve's shield with a sad smile. With Peggy on your hip you walked down onto the beach. She squirmed to walk by herself. You let her.

You walked down to Tony's house. Pepper was sitting on the porch reading. Her bump was big now, nearly six months along. "Y/N!" She said jumping up. She spotted Peggy and blew her a kiss. Peggy put her ear against her stomach.

"Baba?" She said looking back at you. You nodded.

"You'll have a best friend soon!" Peggy smiled. The door opened and her eyes lit up as she saw Tony. She ran towards him and he picked her up, spinning her around. They hugged tightly.

"Grapa!" She said pulling on his hair.

"Hey! Don't pull my beautiful hair out yet, I'm not that old." You rolled your eyes. Pepper took your hand.

"How are you holding up?" You shrugged.

"I'm okay." You mumbled. "I'll be okay." A tear had escaped your eye before you could stop it. Tony put Peggy down.

"Pegs, I have some new toys in there, in the box." She ran off to look. Tony gently encased you in his arms. "He'll come home." He said softly. Kissing your head and you sunk into him.

"Its been nearly a year dad. He's gone." You cried. He sighed and gently led you inside, you forced the tears back and smiled for your daughter. It's what he'd have wanted you to do...

(Nearly a year ago)
"Steve?" You said walking into the room wincing as you felt another squirm in your stomach. It was nearly time. Steve was crying, long sobs. You frowned rubbing his shoulders. "Bucky will come back...I know it." You mumbled kissing his neck. "He was doing what he thought was best for us." You said spinning him round.

"What by charging off to god knows where. In space! To stop any future fights. We have you, we would have been fine." He said turning back to what he was doing. You frowned again at the bag.

"Steve..." you started. He turned to you.

"I'm so sorry Y/N, but I have to go after him." You gulped but didnt argue. He watched your face carefully.

"What about the baby?" You said quietly. He smirked putting his hand on your stomach and kissing you.

"I'll he back for then. If I dont find him before, i promise I'll let go. Thor's agreed to come with me." You nodded again.

(Three months later)

You were sat on the beach outside Tony's house. Peggy was in the basket beside you. A loud crash made you jump, and her to start crying. Tony skidded out. Thor stood up, he was holding Steve's shield.
