I wasn't gonna post this, but it turned out better then I expected
Haha silly light practice go brr
Idk, I think they turned out really nice, I just wanted to practice drawing in different settings with different techniques cause I tend to draw in the same lighting a lot, so I wanted to play around with unifying colours as well as lightings and overlays. The unifying colours were really fun to do, and I definitely wanna try it again, though I do worry it muddied some skin tones...
It was fun! Though I do mildly regret drawing them all on the same canvas 😭

“Oh Dad!” Emmy looked at Steve “Don’t give me that look.”
“What look?”
“Your Captains look…”
“I’m not…” he shook his head.
“You are, you’re doing it right now!”
Steve sighed “I just don’t see why you wanna go off like that? I mean you graduate in a few weeks-“
“I know!” Emmy said “And that’s why I wanna go. I’ve spent the last 3 years working so hard to get my major and…well, travelling for a few months, me and Pete thought it would be fun to see the world before we come back and settle down and…”
“Woah, woah, settle down?” Steve arched an eyebrow “You and Peter…”
“I mean into a job.” Emmy glared at him. “Although we might get an apartment together, I dunno, but…”
“Ok, Ok…” Steve held his hand up to stop her “We can discuss that later…I’m not…”
“You lived with Mom before you got married.” Emmy narrowed her eyes at him.
“Yeah but the difference is he was in his 90s…” Katie said as she walked into the room, gently placing Harry on the floor where he toddled over to his dad who was busy giving Katie a glare.
“That’s not what I was going to say.” Steve frowned, before he looked at Emmy “If you and Pete wanna get a place then…I’m not gonna stop you all I was saying is just don’t start making so many plans…take some time and just…I dunno, chill.”
Katie looked at him, then Emmy, then back again “Did you seriously tell your 21 year old daughter to chill?”
Steve looked at Katie who was wearing an amused smirk and he shook his head “All I was saying is there’s no rush, Em. Come back here, take a few months and if you still wanna go travelling then, go, of course. The world is a big place, I want you to see it…just maybe me and your mom want some time with you this summer.”
Emmy looked at him, then to her mom before she frowned “Were you planning something?”
Katie took a deep breath and looked at Steve before she sighed “It was gonna be a surprise, but it looks like they’re finally going to finish the house in Malibu in the next few weeks. When Jamie finishes school we were gonna head out there for the summer months, all of us and let everyone come visit. Pete’s more than welcome too, if you want. And Brooke”
At the last line Katie saw Steve stiffen a little before he recovered. He had nothing against Peter per-se, he was just still uncomfortable about the fact that his not-so-little girl was dating full stop. God help them the day Rori brought a boy home.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” Emmy said, casting her eyes downwards.
“Hey…” Steve looked at her, even now after the fact she’d lived with them for 10 years she still had these moments. “There’s nothing to be sorry for. We just wanted to make your summer special. You’ve put so much hard work into the last 3 years Emmy, me and your Ma are so proud of you.”
“Thanks.” she said, looking at them. “And I’d like that…for us to spend the summer together.”
“Alright, then that’s settled…” Katie smiled “You can go travelling after, if you still want to, right Steve?”
Steve looked at Katie then Emmy and shrugged “Sure…”
“Ok, I’m gonna start-“ But before Katie could finish, there was a loud noise of singing as the door to the den down the hall flew open and the familiar sounds of “Star Spangled Man” hit their ears. Steve looked at Katie before he gave a groan as the sounds of their youngest Daughter singing it grew louder, and louder, before she burst into the lounge dressed in a pink bathing suit, a tutu and Jamie’s old plastic toy army helmet.
“Star Spangled Man with a plaaaaaaaan!” She sang, standing on the rug in the middle of the room, kicking her legs out to the beat as she sang, twirling around, marching on the spot, her signing continuing.
Katie looked at Emmy, the two of them stifling their laughter as much as they could as Steve dropped his hands to his hips and looked at Rori.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Your song!” she grinned “I saw you on the videos with the girls and stuff…you lifted a bike up, with your arms!”
“Yeah, ok…who showed them to you?” Steve looked at Rori and she grinned and he had a feeling he already knew the answer.
“Uncle Bucky and Uncle Sammy. We watched them last time I had a sleepover.”
“Course you did.” Steve groaned
“And Emmy rehearsed them with me…”
At that point Steve turned his eyes to Emmy who narrowed her eyes and looked at her little sister.
“Hey, don’t throw me under the bus Rori…”
“What bus?” Rori asked, frowning as she looked around “I don’t see no bus?”
“It’s a figure of…never mind, forget it.” Emmy chuckled.
At that point Jamie walked into the living room “Hey Dad, have you seen my-“
But what it was Steve might have seen he never found out, as Jamie trailed off and took in Rori’s outfit.
“What are you wearing?” he frowned.
“My Chorus girl outfit!” she grinned “I’ve been practicing…”
“Practicing for what?”
“Being a chorus girl, dur!” she rolled her eyes “Look…”
And once more she launched into that infernal song, including another rendition of the dance routine she’d learned. Jamie stood watching, mouth falling open and Steve couldn’t help but laugh at the scene in front of him. The perplexed look on Jamie’s face, Rori’s dancing and singing and Harry stood clapping and trying to join in with Stark adding the occasional bark for good measure.
“When I grow up I wanna be a chorus girl…” Rori said, as she finished, giving a final twirl.
“Do you?” Katie said, smiling before she looked at Steve and gave him a smirk. “Maybe we should have called her Lottie…”
“You had to bring that up?” Steve sighed, folding his arms and glaring at her.
Katie grinned as Rori looked at her “Lottie? Who’s Lottie…”
“An old friend of daddy’s…” Katie teased and Steve shook his head.
“I’ll kill Bucky for telling you that.”
“You told me yourself!” Katie snorted
“I never told you it was a chorus girl, or her name because you said you didn’t care.”
“I don’t care.” Katie shrugged, and Steve simply arched his eyebrow at her as she smirked at him and looked back at Rori who was now showing Harry how to kick his leg out in front of him. He tried to copy his sister and promptly wobbled and fell back on his diaper clad ass giving a loud yell of laughter, clapping his hands.
Jamie looked at him, then to Rori then turned to his parents, hands on his hips.
“I don’t want her around when Sebastian comes over…” he said, glaring at his dad then his mother, before jerking his thumb over his shoulder as he stalked out of the room “Where did you get her from?”
@karlyrogers13: The moment you walked in and made all my harrys dreams come true, to have that special something you have in you is amazing you truly are an inspiration and how special you made Harry feel I hope one day I see that again I wish you all the best with your song @Louis_Tomlinson (07/03/19)
