Sheilded (Steve x reader)

25.

You left Loki's room. How? How had he liked you that much for such a long time? You felt better anyway. The poison was slipping away with every passing second. You decided to find Steve. You had a lot to catch up on. You were leaving Asgard tomorrow, you didnt want to be away from Peggy any longer than necessary.

Steve was sitting on a balcony looking at the beautiful sunset. "Pretry isn't it?" You said sitting beside him, he flashed you a smile.

"Not compared to you." You blushed. "How are you feeling?" You shrugged.

"Better, a little uncomfortable though." He took your hand in his. "Thank you for not making this whole situation worse." You said meeting his blue eyes.

"It was your life on the line Y/N, I know where your love lies." You lent your head on his shoulder. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." You muttered. "Its been so hard without you. Every night I cried, for the first few months i couldn't even be alone. The panic attacks, the thoughts.." you shivered. "I just couldn't process a world with you gone." You said. He squeezed your hand.

"But you carried on. I'm proud of that." You scoffed.

"Barely, I didnt want to. If I hadn't have had Peggy I wouldn't have. To be honest at the start it wasnt enough. But dad...he kept me going." Steve chuckled softly.

"I owe a lot to that man." You nodded.

"Me too." There was a brief silence. "I would tell you about Peggy but you kept in contact with her anyway." He smiled then stopped.

"Yeah, i have Eva to thank for that." You looked at his face twisted with torment you knew all too well.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He shook his head.

"Not yet." You nodded and let it go. You knew what he was going through. He'd open up to you eventually, just like you'd opened up to Tony all those years ago. All you could do now is kiss and hug him, comfort him until he felt more comfortable. Until the pain reduces to a more copeable amount.

His fingers slipped over your ring. "We should get married." He said flashing you a grin. You giggled.

"I think we should. Although Peppers never going to fit into a dress." Steve frowned. You gasped. "Oh shit you dont know!"

"Language." You smirked. "But dont know what?"

"Peppers pregnant! Nearly six months." Steve gaped smiling.

"Oh wow." You nodded with a laugh.

"I know I'm going to have a sibling!" He kissed your cheek.

"Anything else happen?" You thought for a minute.

"Nat and Bruce moved in together. Laura had the baby, a little boy they name Nathaniel. After Nat of course. I finishes my horse riding lessons. I'm pretty good now." Steve smirked.

"You'll have to show me some of your moves." You blushed at his dirty joke but winked all the same.

"I will dont worry. Peter has a girlfriend, MJ from school. Wakanda came out to the public... i found my moms grave." Steve glanced at you. You smiled as your eyes watered. "At the back of an abandoned Hydra base, I took Peggy to see her. I hope she'd be proud, I'm trying to be a good mom. She was great to me, tried so hard to keep me safe."

"Your great to Peg, she loves you. And you'd do anything for her." You smiled softly.

"Yeah except when I have come charging into space to save your asses." Steve laughed.

"Apart from that."

You smiled meekly at Loki as you hugged to say goodbye. Thor nearly crushed you as he pulled you in tightly. Within seconds your feet where on the sand of the beach once again. Tony ran from the house picking you up as you flung your arms around his neck.

"Oh god." He mumbled into your hair. "I love you."

"I love you too." You said as he put you down. He looked at Steve as Nat kissed Bruce, and Pepper welcomed the twins.

"Welcome back Captain." Tony said his eyes teared. Steve nodded and hugged Tony.

"Thank you." He muttered. "For keeping her going." Tony smiled. He dodged round Steve to hug Nat. A little blonde haired girl poked her head round the door. She saw you and her eyes lit up. She ran across the sand, and jumped into your arms.

"Momma!" She said brushing your noses together. You giggled. "I did painting! And pancakes." You beamed. She looked behind you at Steve, confused.

"I went to space Peggy, and saved Daddy." You said quietly. Steve stepped forward unsure of what to do. She lifted her arms up. You nodded for Steve to take her. He did, and she moulded herself into his chest perfectly. You grinned, as Steve pulled you against his other side his arm around your waist.

You shut your eyes for a moment. You'd done it, you'd got him back. You had your family. And again you felt content.

~~~

Steve took Peggy to bed, reading her her favourite book. You watched from the door with a wide smile on your face. He kissed her head and came to stand with you. "Night Pegs." You said turning of the light. "Momma loves you."

"Daddy loves you too." Steve said grinning.

"'Ove you too." She mumbled already sleepy. You gently pulled the door shut, only to have Steve slam you against the wall. You groaned as his lips connected to you neck.

"Its been too long." He groaned. You pushed him off.

"I know, but you can wait until we get to our room." He pouted at you but took your hand all the same. You smirked as you walked it was going to be a hell of a night, and you had a feeling you wouldnt be able to walk very well the next morning.

But who cares? You had him back and thats all that matters.

Warning! If you don't want a relatively sad ending pretend the story ends here! If you like the sobs keep going
