Daughter of the Winter Soldier

Chapter Six

Nina’s P.O.V
I woke up the next morning from the best sleep i’ve had in years, and then I remembered that Sam came into my room last night and I turned around to see him peacefully sleeping and I smiled to myself as I gently kissed the tip of his nose as I move away, I saw a smile grow on his face as he started waking up and he smashed his lips against mine as he moved on top of me and I quickly moved him back, “don’t forget about my dad in the other room” I said to him and he let out a heavy sigh as he rolled back onto his side as he propped himself on his elbow and looked down at me with a smile on his face as he caressed my cheek, after a few moments I decided to get out of bed and take a shower, “where do you think your going” he said as I grabbed clothes to change into after my shower and I turned around to face him, “I’m going to take a shower, unless you want to join” I said with a smirk on my face as I walked into the bathroom and started getting undressed and got into the shower, and as the warm water hit me, I sighed at the feeling and not long after I heard someone walking the bathroom and after a few seconds, I felt arms wrap around my waist and started kissing along the side of my neck and I turned around to see that it was Sam and I smiled and pressed my lips to his as he pulled me closer to him as the it all became a heated makeout and he lifted me up swiftly and put me against the wall as we broke away from the kiss, we looked into each others eyes and I smiled and we finally got out of the shower and got dressed for the day as I started to think about what might happen now that Sam has the shield.
As Sam and I walked into the living room to see my dad sitting on the couch watching the News, and my dad noticed the blank look that I had on my face as I sat down on the couch next to him, “what are you thinking about” he asked and brought me out of my thoughts, “I’ve been thinking, about what would happen now that Sam was given the shield and I wanted to stop with all the fighting and wars in general” I said to the both of them and Sam crossed his arms, “you don’t have to do any of this anymore, if that’s what you really want” Sam said and I nodded, “I’m just tired of it all and I don’t want to it anymore, especially because of Hydra” I said as I slumped into the couch with my knees brought to my chest and my dad wrapped his arm around my shoulder as I looked over to face him, “look, I know you never had the best childhood growing up, but I also promised your mother that I would protect you with my life and that I would try my best to give you a normal life if we ever got out of there, and that’s what I’m trying to do now, so I am going to give you something that your mother told me to hold on to and give to you when we did” he said as he got up from the couch and went to his room and came back with an envelope and a small picture of a woman, “this is a picture of your mother and a letter she wrote for you for when you are older and I thought now would be a good time to give it to you” he said and gave me the picture and letter and I started to read what the letter said. 

Letter 
My dearest Nina, 
I am sorry that I was never there for you when you grew up, but I had no choice for what those awful men did to me, they threatened your life so I took your place so that you may live in hope that you and your father are able to get out of that awful place together and that everything will get better. I hope that you will soon know that I love you more than anything when I first laid my eyes on you when you you were born but like I said before it had come at a cost, by giving up my life to protect yours so that one day soon you will be with your father in a much better place and everything will be over and I also knew then when your father saw you for the first time, that he would do anything to protect you and I loved him even more when I saw that in him. I know this is short and I wasn’t given much time as I am writing this to you before they kill me, I love you more than anything my love, my precious little angel, I love you and your father more than my own life, be safe my darling, I love you and know that this isn’t your fault and that I did this for you to be alive now. 

As I finished reading the letter, I noticed that I had been crying and I immediately wrapped my arms tightly around my dad in a tight hug and he did the same and I began to cry even harder than I was before and I heard him let out a few sobs of his own, “I’m so sorry dad, it’s all my fault that mom is gone, if it wasn’t for me, she would still be here” I said as I began to cry uncontrollably as he broke away from the hug, “don’t say that, it’s not and will never be your fault, your mother sacrificed her life so that you can be alive” he said as he was also crying as he was trying to wipe my tears away, and then Sam decided to say something, “your dad’s right, I’m sure whatever happened to your mother wasn’t your fault and that she did whatever she had to do to protect you, otherwise we  wouldn’t have you here” Sam said and a small smile grew on my lips and we were in a group hug for a while until I calmed down and we all broke away from the hug and I looked at the picture of my mother and went to stick it in the corner of the mirror on my dresser and went back into the living room to see Sam and my dad getting along like they have been the last couple of days and it put a smile on my face and I walked up to them and sat back down on the couch next to my dad and continued to watch T.V.
For the rest of the day I mostly just thought about what my mother said in the letter she wrote to me and I decided to start making dinner until Sam wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck and I sighed in amusement, “your lucky my dad is in his room getting something” I said as I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck as a small smile grew on my face and he did the same and I went on my tiptoes and kissed him until I smelt the food burning and I quickly moved away and took it off the stove and got plate’s out from the and got the garlic bread out from the oven and Sam and I got our food but before I did I went to see what he was up to when I realized he was taking a lot longer than I thought, when I approached his room he wasn’t there and I went to check mine and saw that he was sitting on my bed with the picture of my mother in his hand and I started to approach him and saw that he was crying and I sat next to him and rested my hand on his back as I started rubbing it to try and sooth him and he looked at me and saw that his eyes were red and puffy and he quickly hugged me tightly and continued to cry a little harder, “I miss your mother so much” I heard him mumble and I started to cry a little bit, “I know, so do I, even though I never met her” I said and he looked at me again and had a small smirk on his face and I did the same, “dinner is ready by the way, that was the main reason why I’m here” I said and he nodded and he put the picture back on my dresser and we went into the kitchen and grabbed our food and went to sit down with Sam and and we were laughing about certain things and I started to think to myself that this was all I ever wanted, sitting around having dinner with the people I cared about and having a good time like this and when we were done we all got changed into something comfy and had a movie night until we got tired.
