The consequence ( sequel to the price of love)

Chapter 42

LUCYS POV

I sat up abruptly from my nightmare. My breathing was ragged and sweat covered my face. Steve's body was gone and I was alone in the bed.

3:34 am

" great." I groaned sarcastically. I placed my hands beside me to support myself when where I put my hands, it was wet.

I face palmed and glared at my stomach." Really? Now you choose to come out?" I rolled my eyes and carefully stood, waddling to the elevator.

" JARVIS?" I called while breathing heavily.

" yes mrs Rogers. How can I be of assistance?" His clear crisp British voice answered.

" wake up.....Bruce. And....and also send out a call to SHIELD to tell them....I'm.....giving.....b-birth." I stumbled on my words as the intense pain shot into my stomach.

" Doctor Banner will be in the lab momentarily." JARVIS said suddenly. The doors opened and I stepped out into the lab, throwing myself on a chair to wait.

It only took a minute before the elevator doors burst open and Bruce ran through.

His hair was messed and his glasses rested on the tip of his nose. He struggled to pull his lab coat on as he ran to me, clumsily tripping over a container.

I stood." Bruce. I'm....in.....labour." I managed to breath out. His jaw dropped and his glasses fell from his nose. " come on." He muttered, bringing me to a hospital style bed and lay me down.

Bruce started to mutter unheard words as he worked. I finally decided to speak up." Where's Steve?"

He looked up at me." I was just going to ask you the same question. But I think he's on a mission."

I groaned with frustration and slammed my head against the pillow." He needs to be here!"

We waited. Two hours of waiting and screaming in frustration and pain passed when finally, he walked trough the doors.

" where the heck have you been?" I yelled, tears running down my face due to the pain.

He gave me a apologetic look and held my hand." I'm sorry babe. Mission. I'm never leaving your side ever again." He whispered.

I started to scream in pain again when I heard a cry.

Bruce brought over a small baby." It's a boy." He whispered.

I smiled and took the baby. This was it. One baby. It wasn't so bad.

The boy had ocean blue eyes and blonde hair like his father.

" what shall we name it?" I asked Steve.

He smiled at the baby and I could see the stray tear fall down his cheek.

" Benjamin Lee Rogers."

I grinned." That's it then. Welcome into the world Benjamin." I whispered.

I heard a baby cry but it was not Ben. I looked up with urgency to Bruce and he held a look of shock." There's another baby." He said.

With more pain another little bundle came into view. Steve and I looked at each other with wonder and amazement. " it's a girl." Bruce gave the baby to me and I grinned.

" can I name this one?" I asked excitedly. Steve smiled and kissed my forehead." Anything for you baby."

I looked at the little girl with deep blue eyes that twinkled almost with mischief. Strange at a young age. The brown hair was evident on her head and I wondered if the brown came from Steve's parents.

" Irene Grace Rogers." I whispered. The baby giggled.
" I think she likes it." Steve whispered. I nodded and held out irene." Hold her." I nudged him. He took her hesitantly." Are you sure?" I nodded." Absolutely."

It was adorable seeing him cuddle her and speak words of love.

I....was a mother.

And Steve....was a father.

We're parents.

And I promise to be better than my parents ever were.
