Everything is Sound- Jason Miraz

"Fear only makes us stronger.."- Russel T. Davies

The small child blinked her eyes slowly as awoke in a hospital room. Her breathing instantly quickened and heart rate monitor started to beep wildly. She started screaming and the door burst open to reveal three of Shield's finest. Although, she didn't understand that. All she knew was that this 'Jemma Simmons' reminded her of her mother, with her kind voice, and accent. Her warm brown hair, and loving eyes. Everything a child could love about her mother.

On the other hand, 'Leo Fitz' greatly puzzled the child. He was the second man to be kind to her. Even though Doctor Banner was nice, she liked the other man more.

"That's a very pretty pony." Fitz spoke to her.

"Mm."

"It's called a pony." He repeated seeing her confusion.

"P-P"

"Yeah, a pony." He paused. "Do you want some juice?" Fitz asked the small child, who nodded in response. Her eyes lit up with slight excitement. "Be right back." He spoke standing and leaving the child alone in the room. Various coloring books were scattered across her hospital bed. For her age, she was very intelligent. Trying to mouth words, and wobble as she learned to stand, but not yet walk. It was almost abnormal. Bruce Banner acknowledged these things, and took them into great consideration.

"Hello?" A male voice the child knew was not of that of the two Doctors, but of the man she liked more than the rest. "Hey There." Steve spoke with a smile as he entered the room. Trying to shake the events from the morning off his shoulders, and focus on his small life that sat in front of him. Her crystal blue hues staring at him in slight confusion. "You remember me don't you?"

The child nodded her head up and down. Then patted the spot in front of her as if she was saying. 'Sit.' Steve accepted her request and sat in front of her. She placed the 'pony' book in front of him and gave him a box of crayons.

"P-P."

"Pony Picture?" Steve offered up, and she nodded. "You want me to color?" She nodded again.

He then proceeded to color with her.

"That's very pretty."

She smiled and looked up at him, before her attention was again on the picture.

"Are you happy here?"

She shook her head, not even looking up.

"Are the Doctors nice?"

She nodded her head.

"Are you lonely?"

The child looked up and her eyes welled with tears.

"Would you want to come live with me?"

The tears seemed to instantly fade away as fast a they appeared. She nodded, a smile staring to form on her face.

"She needs a name..." Natasha spoke as Steve entered the room. AT first she was against the idea of Steve excepting the child, caring for her. But her mind had been instantly changed when she saw the girl. Scared, broken, just like she was all those years ago. Now her focus was on the glass, on the other side was his child. Fitz had come back in with her juice and a few minutes later she had fallen asleep.

"That she does." Steve responded.

"Any Ideas?" Tony asked from his corner in the room.

"Sarah maybe.. After my mother. But I'm not sure."

"You know, Tony is actually a girls name?"

"Very Funny Stark."

"Sophia." Natasha spoke as her gaze didn't even flicker from the glass.

"Sophia?" Tony reiterated in question.

"I like it.." Steve said.

"See he likes it, Stark."

"Sophia..." Steve paused. "Sophia Margret Rogers..."

"Aunt Pegs would love that." Tony said with a smile.

"Then it's settled."

"Sophia Marget Rogers... My daughter."

"Are you really sure about this Rogers?" Tony Stark spoke. He was unsure of the Captain's Decision, but he would support him in his choice.

"I'm Sure Tony." He paused. "Absolutely, positively, scared... but sure."

"Then just sign these here. Pepper and I will help you with all the legal stuff. Although sometimes these things can take awhile.."

"I'm willing to wait.. and Thanks."

"No Problem Steve. Least I can do really after.."

"Do after what?"

"Being such a dick to you."

"You weren't a-"

"Yes, Yes I was Rogers. Stop lying."

"Alright, you were kinda being a dick.."

"Gramps cursing? Isn't that against the laws of the universe?!" Tony kidded.

"Watch it Tony." He said with a small smile.

"Eye-Eye Captain."

Steve wanted to do this himself. Show everyone he could be a father, and get what she needs. Since he had been told about her, he'd spend his late nights reading about child development. Or going in to see her everyday, her smile and her eyes. Brightening as they saw him coming. But he just couldn't do this alone.

"Hey Pepper, you might have heard the news-" Steve spoke into his cellphone.

'You have a daughter! It's so exciting! I'm glad you're adopting her she needs you. And you're gonna be a great dad-"

"Pepper, can I ask for your help?"

'Of course Steve, ask away!'

"I need your help with um.. Getting things for Sophia. Like clothes, and furniture."

'Give me five minutes, then I'll be there. I'm taking you shopping.'

And indeed Pepper was there in four minutes fifty-five seconds. To which she pointed out upon arrival. Her smile greeted him as he climbed in the back of one of the Stark cars. Happy, was in the front seat.

"Hello Captain Rogers."

"Hello Happy, how are you today?"

"I'm doing very well today and you Mr. Rogers?"

"I'm doing just fine, now where to Ms. Potts?"

"The mall, we need to get some things for Steve's daughter, Sophia."

"Right away.." He spoke as he pulled out onto the road.

"Do we need all this?" Steve asked.

"Yes, we do."

They pair had picked out a matching crib, dresser, bookshelf, rocking chair, dollhouse and a toy chest. Along with various toys, books and sets of clothes. But Steve had picked up one specific stuffed bear. It almost looked a bit raggedy, but it seemed to fit. So he picked it up against Pepper's protests.

"Paint?"

"Paint." Steve responded with a smile.

"Still blue, right?"

"Yep."

Sophia had shown him her blue crayon, and made sure, even without words. That it was her favorite. Steve had decided it was the color they were going to paint her room.

"And then are we done?" Steve almost whined, and it made Pepper sigh.

"You will be done. I still need to get some decor for her room."

"Decor? She's only a year old."

"Trust me on this Steve, she'll notice."

"Alright."

"You mean, she's mine? Just like that?" Steve asked slightly confused. Everyone had told him it would take a while, and there was even a possibility that he wouldn't get her.

"She's biologically your daughter, and you checked out safe. They can't tell you no." Maria spoke.

"When can I get her?"

"In all reality now, but Dr. Banner wa-" He didn't even stay to hear the rest of what she was saying. All he wanted was to see her. Steve just wanted to take her home.
