A/N: So Just Be There just reached 17,000 views. That might not be a lot for some people, but I feel like celebrating, so here is a little snippet that we missed in the original. Enjoy!

Peggy couldn't help but smile as she heard the delighted squeals of her children as they played in the waves. She finished applying the twin's sun lotion and turned to watch James and Sarah run in and out of the surf. Steve chased them, trying to get them further into the water, and Peggy had to laugh as she watched the three of them play.

Tilting her face up to the sun, Peggy enjoyed a brief, quiet moment as Steve occupied the older two and the twins watched in abject fascination. The twins weren't quite walking yet, but if she knew her girls that day would be sooner rather than later, so she took advantage of their current, mostly stationary state. She heard Steve laugh and couldn't resist peeking to see what they had gotten up to, and she watched as he "wrestled" with James. It was moments like these when she got to see Steve with the kids that she fully appreciated how lucky they were. Things weren't always easy, and the last few years had been especially tough as Steve and Peggy expanded their family and helped form a new agency they were calling SHIELD. The twins had certainly been a surprise, but Peggy couldn't imagine her life being any different.

This was their first trip as a family since the twins had been born. Peggy had just been starting to feel run down when Steve had surprised her and taken the whole family back to the little beach town where they had first discovered they were going to be parents. Although the thought of traveling with four children under the age of five had been daunting, Peggy was reminded again how she and Steve could accomplish anything together. The trip up had been easier than she had expected, and now that they were at the beach, Peggy felt herself relax for what felt like the first time in ages.

Peggy turned and had to keep Evelyn, Eve for short, from putting sand in her mouth as Steve walked back over to their blanket. James and Sarah decided they were done in the water for the moment, and the came running back for their bucket and their shovel. Peggy watched as they argued where to build their sandcastle, and was quietly proud of James who insisted they should build it where the twins could see. That settled, the children settled to play in the sand and Peggy finally got a moment to turn her attention to her ridiculously attractive husband.

Steve was also watching the children, and he marveled at the love he felt for them. He watched as they squabbled, as they often did, and then settle down to play, and he felt a now familiar sense of contentment settle over him. He leaned back on his elbows as Peggy turned to him, and his smile grew bigger as they looked at each other.

Peggy lifted her hand and ran it threw his hair. "Thank you."

Steve looked his question at Peggy. "For bringing us here. It was exactly what we needed."

Steve smiled at her. "You're right, it's exactly what we all needed. We need to come up here more often. Just get away from it all and be… us. This place, it's special."

Peggy nodded in agreement and they both remembered what had made it so special from the very beginning. Steve pulled Peggy out of her thoughts when he quietly and seriously said, "I love you."

She felt her smile grow impossibly wide. "I love you too. So much." Like so many moments before, Steve and Peggy felt their connection deep in their souls as they gazed into each other's eyes and saw everything they never knew they wanted. And like so many moments before, it was promptly interrupted as James and Sarah started fighting, which caused the twins to start crying. Peggy had to laugh as they suddenly found themselves in the middle of madness once again before trying to gain control of the situation.

It wasn't until that night after the children had gone to bed that Steve and Peggy got another moment to be together. Peggy was picking some toys up, trying to keep their rented house tidy when Steve pulled her down onto the couch. Abandoning the toys, Peggy curled up into him and rested her head on Steve's chest, relaxing as she listened to his steady heartbeat.

"The twins are going to start walking soon. And then we'll really be in trouble."

Peggy quietly chuckled in agreement at Steve's words, and settled her cheek more comfortably against his chest. They sat in silence for a few more minutes before Steve spoke again. "Why did we think four was a good number?"

Laughing, Peggy lifted her head to look up at Steve. "I ask myself that same question every day. I think we're crazy."

Now it was Steve who laughed before he shifted, drawing Peggy closer to him.

Peggy put head back down and started drawing small circles on Steve's chest, lost in thought. It was a few moments later when she spoke. "If we think having four kids is crazy, I wonder what five would be like."

Peggy felt Steve stiffen under her before he pulled back, forcing her to look at him. "Are you saying that you think you want another?"

She gave a wry chuckle as she shook her head. "I don't know if I would say I want another one, but… in about seven months we're going to have another one." Peggy watched as Steve's jaw dropped to his chest, and she saw a look she had seen a few times before. "Did you know, every time I tell you I'm pregnant, you get this wide eyed look, that strikes somewhere between absolutely terrified and utterly amazed."

Steve let out a breath before he grinned. "It's a stunned look, baby, stunned. I just…" Steve looked into Peggy's smiling eyes and had to remind himself that the kids were sleeping and not to shout for joy. "Really? Another one?"

Peggy laughed as she nodded, and felt her smile grow wider as Steve pressed his lips to hers.

What followed was both new, and familiar. Like they had done three times before, they passionately celebrated the new life they had created, that they would nurture and protect together.

After, lying relaxed and sated, twined together, Peggy once again lifted her head off of Steve's chest to look at him. "I really think this should be the last one though."

Steve sleepily nodded as he brushed her hair back from her cheek. She leaned down to kiss his sternum and then looked back up. "And I think that it's going to be a boy. You and James are already out numbered. You boys need help, we need to even out the ranks." Peggy paused as Steve watched her. She took a deep breath and said, "And I think his name should be… Steve. Steve Junior."
