*Steve POV*
Today's the wedding. I woke up at 3 in the morning and laid in bed for a bit. It's now 4 and I can't take laying still anymore. I carefully climb out of bed and make sure that I don't wake Tony. I get changed into shorts and a t-shirt. I leave the room and start walking around.

"Captain Rogers are you lost" I hear

I turn around and see Shuri.

"Hi Shuri. No. I'm just wandering. I couldn't sleep. Sorry if I woke you up" I say

"Oh. You didn't wake me up. I had an idea for something to make so I was sketching it out." Shuri explains

"Okay" I say

"My brother is probably awake. If you go down the hall and take a left he should be in there" Shuri says

"Thank you" I say

She goes back into the room she was in and I follow here directions. I get to the room and T'Challa is in there along with Clint. I walk in and take a seat.

"Hey Steve" Clint smiles

"Hey Clint. Hello your highness. What are you two doing up this early" I ask

"I could ask you the same Captain Rogers" T'Challa says

"I just couldn't sleep. I haven't been sleeping well lately" I say

"I am usually up this earlier seeing what needs to get done for the day" T'Challa says

"I was thirsty and decided to get some coffee. Now I can't fall back asleep" Clint says

"You're such a bird brain uncle Clint" Peter says walking in

"You okay Pete? It's only 4:15" I say

"Yeah I know. I'm good. I just couldn't sleep. Thinking about Aunt May" he says

"Come here" I say

He comes and sits next to me. I wrap my arms around him in a hug and leans into my chest. I soon feel my shirt getting wet and realize Peter is crying.

"Hey come on Pete. I know it's hard, but it's going to be okay" I say

"I miss her pops" he mumbles

"I know you do. She was the last blood relative you had left, but she wasn't the last family you had left. You have us" I say

"I guess" he says

"Petie blood doesn't make someone family. Love does. We all love you Petie. We would do anything for you. You are our family and we are yours" Clint says

"Thanks guys" Peter smiles

"Of course. Now Shuri is awake if you want to go join her" I say

Peter nods and runs off.

"Those two are trouble together" Clint says

"Tell me about it. They've known each other for less than 24 hours and they act like siblings" T'Challa says

"So Steve you ready for today" Clint asks

"I guess" I say

"What's the matter" Clint asks

"I don't know. I guess I'm still thinking about Peggy." I say

"Steve do you love him" he asks

"Yes. Of course I do" I say

"Peggy loved you and she loves Tony. She didn't get the chance to marry you but she had to make sure you got to marry someone you would love and she trusts so Tony was sent your way. You two are made for each other. There is no one else more perfect for each other" Clint says
