Peggy stirs, humming as she feels gentle fingers dance along the bare skin of her waist and down her hip. She hums, smiling sleepily over her shoulder at Steve. "Good morning, my darling," she murmurs, eyes fluttering closed while she just enjoys his touch.

"I can’t believe this, we’re going to be parents!" (americashielded, consider this a follow-up on that thread we started fiveever ago :'D)

@americashielded

"I can't believe it either..." Wanda commented as they sat on the bathroom floor where they'd ended up after the general hub-bub of the test results. She continued staring at the pregnancy test in her hands, those two little lines. "Is this insane, what we're doing? We don't exactly have normal lives, we're not normal people." She asked him suddenly, biting her lip. Now the shock and surprise had worn off, the panic was setting in at the idea of raising a baby.

"You're the best thing that ever happened to me." (americashielded)

@americashielded

"And you are the best thing to happen to me," Wanda replied, though there was a part of her that found it hard to believe Steve. How could she be when he had lived for so long? Surely there must have been something better than her no? "Without you, I don't know where I would be. If I would still be..." she trailed off, resting her head against his shoulder in silence for a moment. "You saved my life Steve, and then you showed me that I was worth loving. You gave me happiness I never thought I would get to know. And I don't know how to thank you enough for that."

“Did you make this?” (americashielded)

@americashielded

"I... Yes, I had some spare time today so I thought... a home cooked meal might be nicer than grabbing some take out," Wanda replied, her cheeks a little flushed. After everything that Steve had done for her, she thought that he deserved something in return. And while it wasn't much, it was a start at least. She had gone with something that she knew would be homely, some chicken paprikash along with some noodles and potatoes. "I have some dessert as well if you wish."

@americashielded said Just because he didn't have the shield anymore, that didn't mean Steve Rogers hadn't been keeping an ear to the ground about goings on that might pertain to him or any of the other Avengers. Usually, he was looking at reports and picking up signals from some of his friends and colleagues about difficult situations where his assistance would surely be welcomed, but it did feel odd not donning the outfit or having his shield handy anymore. That said, the things he'd been hearing about Wanda lately…well, in truth, even since Thanos' final defeat, he'd been seriously worried about her, but now, more than ever, his concern had reached a high peak. It was enough to make him consider getting involved himself, even though he'd tried his best to let Wanda live her life on her own away from The Avengers. But maybe some sort of anchor and safe harbor was what she needed most. It was something Steve had been ruminating on in the recent days, and just as he had finally resolved to seek her out, there was a knock at the door. "…Wanda?" He had planned to find Wanda. He hadn't anticipated that she would find him first.

Time had begun to blur together for Wanda. Between the first fight with Thanos, and then supposedly being gone for five whole years, and up until now... Wanda wasn't sure how long had truly passed. Days? Weeks? Months? She had lived years in her own little world, living her perfect, happy life with Vision and their children. But in reality, only days had passed. Days since she'd been brought back to life when it felt as if no time at all had passed, days since she'd tried to bring Vision's body home, days since she'd followed the map Vision had left for her and driven to Westview, days since...

She no longer felt like herself. She was hurt, grieving, and so incredibly confused. For years she had believed herself to be one thing, only to now discover she was something completely different. And not only that, she'd been a wife and a mother, and now she was nothing. Now, she was once again a fugitive.

She'd hidden away for a few days in a lone cabin she'd found in a secluded piece of land, and it had taken no time at all for her to clean it up with the help of her magic. For those few days, she poured over Agatha's book, barely getting any sleep at all as she allowed the spells to consume her waking moments so she wouldn't have to think about other things. And then, she discovered a spell where her physical body could sleep and she could still continue her studying.

She had been fine on her own. This was her life now, wasn't it? But then as she read the book, she could hear her boys crying for her, calling for help. She couldn't be alone again after that, but she didn't know where to go. She knew where she wanted to go, but it took her a while to muster up the courage to actually knock on his door.

"I didn't know where else to go." She murmured shamefully as he opened the door. Steve, who had always given her a chance to redeem herself. Steve, who had always supported her and never judged her. Steve, who had been her truest friend.

@americashielded continued from here

Returning to Earth every once in a while to see her brother and keep in touch with the friends she had made was a positive experience. Seeing familiar faces in an unforgiving galaxy was always pleasant, and something she was truly grateful for.

In times of uncertainty, Mantis treasured the allies the Guardians had worked with. She had arrived to the Avengers compound to assist them in their work, which was to fortify Earth against potential new cosmic threats. If more planets stood together in solidarity, hopefully that would make them stronger.

"Huh?" Mantis blinked, not understanding why Steve had been so confused by the light kiss she had pressed to his cheek. "I wanted to apologize. For what happened last Christmas, remember? I saw you at the Walk of Fame, I tried to give you a hug but you ran away. Have I made you uncomfortable? I'm sorry!"

[killerqueenwidow]

"Natasha? Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my...er, tank top?" (americashielded)

Natasha paused mid bite of apple when she saw Steve stride in dressed like that. "I mean... not yet but there could be if you played your cards right," she mentioned. "But that's up to you. Anyway... why the underwear model dress up session? Well... almost. Hmm. Have to give women everywhere something to dream about don't you?"

❝ Good girl, take it all. ❞ (americashielded)

@americashielded

Wanda gasped and gripped at the headboard as Steve pushed inside of her, her back arching ever so slightly in response. Her gaze moved down to look between her legs before travelling up the length of Steve's body to his face. "You really are a tease when you say it like that, you know?" she muttered, a breathless laugh following as she took a moment to adjust to the feeling.
