"Oh my god Steve, I'm fine you don't need to accompany me everywhere." I say to my friend who would not leave me alone, "I need to make sure that you stay ok." I laugh, "Steve if you leave me alone for one second nothing will happen." I assure him but he looks unconvinced, "come on Rogers let Burns breathe, you don't wanna smother her to death." Nat smirks as Steve's eyes widen, "that can't actually happen right?" He asks making me laugh hard.

"Ow." I say hunching over to place a hand on my very pregnant stomach where I could feel a strong amount of pain. "What's wrong? What's happening? Are you ok? What should I do?" Steve starts freaking out immediately, "I'm fine." I assure him straightening myself before hunching back over as the pain returns but worse. "Ok I'm not ok." I groan as he holds onto me, "Rosie what's going on?" Nat asks joking Steve's side, "I think it's time." I huff trying to get through the pain which was coming from my contractions. "Already?" I look up at Steve, "it's been nine months genius what do you mean already?"

"Oh ok, ok let's get you to the hospital." Steve says, "Thor! Bruce! It's time! It's time! The baby is coming!" I slap Steve up the head, "stop screaming." I huff at him as Thor and Bruce come running in. "It's time?" I hold in a groan, "yes it's time. Does anybody wanna waste more time by asking more stupid questions?" The men's eyes widen as they look at me in fear, "ok we need to get you to a hospital." My eyes narrow, "you think?"

"Come on Rosie you got this." Nat assured me as she holds my hand, "I can't, I can't do it." I cry out the pain being so overwhelming, "you're Rosalie Burns one of the most badass women I know, you can do this." She assures me, "you really think that?" I ask her my eyes filled with tears, "you get this baby out and we'll see." She winks with a laugh. "Ok." I breathe.

It was all worth it every single moment was worth it having my baby in my arms, nothing could compare to this and I don't think anything ever would. As I look down at his beautiful sleeping face I can't help the laughter of pure joy, I'd do all that a million times for his perfect little face. "Oh he's perfect." I whisper kissing his tiny little hand as the tears flowed down my cheeks. "He is cute." Natasha hums making me smile at her, "thank you." She smiles as she watches us before she can say anything Steve comes barging in, Thor, Bruce and even Tony right behind him.

"Oh my goodness is that him?" I look at Steve in wonder, "no this is just some random baby that I took, of course it's him." He shoots me a look as Tony sniggers. "What took so long?" I give Steve a very unimpressed look, "if you ask one more stupid question you will be leaving." I tell him making his eyes widen, "what did I do? Why're you being so mean to me?"

I gasp once I see my baby with his eyes open, "Dean." I mumble before I can even stop myself, I was looking into one eye that was identical to my older brothers, it was a perfect shade of green with hints of blue. I look at the other and notice how similar it was the ones that I could stare at for hours, it was my favourite shake of blue, Bucky's blue. Steve looks down at the baby his eyes wide in wonder as he took every possible detail in. "Wanna hold him?" He looks like he's about to start crying, "more than anything." He takes the baby happily.

"So has the pipsqueak got a name?" Tony asks, "Dean." It just felt right, "Dean Steven Barnes." Steve starts crying making me laugh as I grab his hand, "you named him after me?" I wipe his eyes, "do we know any other Steve's?" I ask him.

After everyone gets a go with the baby and many congratulations Thor Bruce and tony leave me Steve and Nat. "Now that it's just the three of us, I wanted to ask you guys something." Both adults look to me, "I want you to be Deans godparents." Steve starts crying again but I notice a tear run down Nat's cheek too. "Really?" I nod, "there's no one I trust more." They both hug me making me laugh, "I love you guys."

"We love you too."
