Endgame Romanogers Fanfic

Chapter 31

Sharon Carter... I can't believe my eyes... it's hard to believe that she was right there, live and in color. It is hard to believe that the last time I saw her it was in the middle of the Civil War. I did not forget that she disappeared in the Snap Day and I thought of her sometimes when everyone returned but the loss of a great friend and of the love of my life did not let me chase news about her. I feel bad for that.

Sharon: Wow, this is weird.

Sharon smiled as he witnessed Steve's long silence.

Steve blinked, realizing that he is being rude for not saying anything.

James: Daddy, daddy! The ball!

James said when he appeared in the living room holding a colored ball. Steve and Sharon looked at him.

Sharon: Daddy??

Sharon asked.

Sharon: This is even stranger.

Sharon commented.

Steve: Sorry, Sharon...

Steve turned to James and decided to pick him up because the back door is open and he could easily end up in the pool alone and that would be dangerous.

Steve picked James up.

Steve: Did you find the ball?

James: Yes.

Steve: Good, just a minute, son.

James: Dadda, poooolll.

James pointed to the pool, wanting to play with Steve in the pool again.

Steve: Wait just a bit.

Steve went with James to the door and Sharon was smiling, she raised both eyebrows and put her hands together, showing her embarrassment.

Steve: A thousand pardons, please come in...

Steve opened the door wider. Sharon entered and instead of going to the couch area, she waited for Steve to close the door to approach him. Sharon put her hand on Steve's shoulder and then stretched her face to his and Steve's neck was stiff, but Sharon was just trying to kiss his cheek.

Sharon: It's good to see you.

Steve's heart was racing and he doesn't even know why, he smiled and nodded.

Sharon: And who is this little one? Is that James?

Sharon stroked James' arm but James frowned and dodged, climbing over Steve, he is not receptive to strangers and laying hands on him is almost a crime.

Steve: Yes, that is James. My son... he is kind of shy.

Sharon: Oh, just like his father!

Sharon smiled.

Sharon: Did I arrive just when you were going to bathe in the pool? I'm so sorry, I thought about calling before but I thought it would be too impersonal and I also confess that I really wanted to see you.

Steve: No problem, Sharon, it was good of you to come, I also wanted to see you to know about you...

Sharon: But you didn't call me...

Steve: No, I didn't, that is true, I'm sorry, it's just that... things happened too fast, Tony's death is still making me loose my sleep, everything is very strange and confuse now.
