He can tell his wife is annoyed as soon as he returns home.

It had been a longer mission than planned- nearly two weeks longer than the original three days, and they were already playing with time before their second daughter was due to enter the world. But one thing had lead to another, and it had just taken longer than intended- the world had needed Cap.

“Daddy!” Ava shrieks as soon as the door shuts behind him, heading for him on newly-steady legs, crashing into his shins and wrapping herself around him. Steve bends down, scooping her up and pressing kisses to her face as she giggled, soothing the ache of being away for so long with the sound.

“I missed you so much, sweetheart,” Steve murmured, kissing her head as she cuddled into his chest, and Ava nodded.

“Me too, Daddy,” she replies, and Steve smiles. He heads for the living room, finding Melinda on the couch, a book in hand- he can tell she isn’t reading though, and that she’s uncomfortable, shifting in place.

“Hey, babe,” Steve says, and she merely lifts an eyebrow, keeping up the pretense of reading. “How’s the peanut?”

“Decidedly not a peanut,” Melinda answers, snorting, but looking up at him. “You were gone for almost three weeks.”

“I know. I’m sorry- it got messy,” he replies apologetically, and Melinda softens at what she sees on his face. “I wanted to be here with you every single second. I was terrified I was going to miss it.”

“No, she waited. Another Daddy’s girl,” Melinda muses, and Steve can’t help but smile, Ava pressing into his chest, yawning into his neck. “I think it’s someone’s naptime.”

“How about Rogers family naptime?” Steve suggested, and Melinda nodded at that, smiling. Steve extended a hand, helping her up, and once she was standing, wrapped his arm around her. He pressed his lips to her forehead, lingering, and Melinda leaned into his side, kissing his collarbone.

“I’m happy you’re home,” she murmured, and Steve smiled into her hair. Ava shifted, murmuring sleepily, and she rubbed their daughter’s back. “Alright- naptime it is.”

Mamihlapinatapei and Steve x Melinda please!

mamihlapinatapei- the look between two people in which each loves the other but is too afraid to make the first move

He’s not surprised to find her in the gym; closing time was nearly an hour ago, but she knew the owner, and today had been a rough day.

She’s in the corner, pounding away at a punching bag; he can see the sweat pouring down her face, and it’s clear she’s been here for awhile. He leans against the door frame, just watching her.

When she starts to slow, he pushes off, walking towards her. When she turns, out of breath and eyes red, he offers her the water bottle in his hand. “Here.”

She takes it without a sound, drinking nearly half of it before she wipes at the sweat dripping from her forehead. “Why’re you here, Steve?”

“Figured you’d be here,” he replies with a shrug. “I’m here if you want to talk, Mel.”

“I don’t want to talk,” Melinda stops him before he can say anything else, capping the water bottle. “I want to punch things.”

“Then hit me,” Steve said as Melinda went to turn back to the punching bag. She whipped around, raising an eyebrow, and Steve spread his arms.

“Hit you?” she asked, incredulous, and Steve nodded, shrugging out of his jacket.

“You need to hit something? Hit me.”

Melinda stares at him for a minute before she sets her stance in front of him, guard up; there’s a pause before she throws the first punch, and Steve barely flinches, so she sets up her rhythm. She gets through a handful of movements before she starts to sob, breath catching in her chest, and she crumples, knees hitting the floor.

Steve has her in his lap in a moment, cradling her against him as she falls apart. “It’s going to be okay, Melinda.”

“It’s not,” she whispers, voice thick with tears. “It’s not going to be okay because the man I loved is dead, but the man I love is holding me right now, and nothing is right.”

Steve just holds her tighter for a moment before he pulls back, fingers under her chin until she looked up at him, tears on her cheeks. “Whatever happens, we’ll be okay, Melinda. I’m not leaving you.”

“You can’t make that promise,” she starts, and Steve shook his head, just looking at her with his deep, warm blue eyes.

“I can make the promise to love you back. That’s the best I can do,” he murmurs, and Melinda just keeps looking at him, lower lip trembling, until she leaned forward, mouth meeting his. It’s warm and soft and Steve holds her like she’s precious, and when new tears stream down her face, they have nothing to do with sadness.

“You must be Steve,” A young woman said with a smile as she lead him out into the backyard of the house. , “mother said a lot about you.”

“She did huh and your name?” Steve asked raising an eyebrow.

“My parents named me Daisy,” She answered, “But my friends called me Skye.”

Steve couldn’t help but smile. The young woman looked like her. Her mysterious dark eyes. Dark but stick straight hair. He couldn’t help but have the same sentiments remembering the short time they had together before he was frozen in the ice. 

He suddenly became sad. Melinda May Coulson had lived a whole life. She began S.H.I.E.L.D. met a wonderful man named Phil who spent 2 beautiful decades with her before his death. They had a beautiful daughter who was their word. All these things Steve and Melinda could have had and never will.

Skye lead him to the garden. There was a woman tending to the Garden in a hat and a beautiful dress. 

“Mom,” Skye said, “We have a guest.”

Melinda stood up. Steve was shocked. Even after all these years, she still looked the same. Sure she had a few wrinkles showing her face weathered by the test of time but she was still as beautiful as ever. Gardening sheers dropped to the floor.

Melinda took a few steps forward reaching out to touch his face seeing if he was real and not some illusion. She blinked trying to hold back her tears.

“You came back.”“I couldn’t leave my best girl.” Steve said.

Melinda jumped into Steve’s arms sobbing. She wrapped her arms around his waist burying her head in his chest. Steve rested his chin on her forehead running his hands through her soft hair.

Time may have passed. But whatever time they had left….it would be meaningful and beautiful.
