Chapter 6-

Steve and Emerson's family were on their way to London, along with Bucky, to unfortunately go to Peggy Carter's funeral. The family had set up this vacation with Peggy herself only a month ago. But the cancer took her faster then she and her doctor's expected. Liam was upset when he heard the news. He was always a fan of the stories she would tell of the adventures of Captain America and the Hallowing Commandos. She even found the old Captain America movies they made, before Steve really became what he was made for. Steve wasn't excited when she pulled those out, as Emerson screamed in delight and then made the Star Spangled Man with a Plan as her ringtone for whenever anyone called her. He wouldn't have minded if it was his personal ringtone, meaning that he would never have to hear it. But now anytime someone calls her, he has to hear that dreaded song. And it was even worse when both Stark and Bucky found out about her ringtone, they would just call her just so Steve could hear it. And Emerson was in on it, never answering her phone when she saw who was calling her.

The funeral was a nice small cozy affair where it was only Peggy's family and close friends. Steve and Bucky were both pallbearers, the only two left from World War II. Emerson held both the men's hands tightly as they listened to the amazing words said by Peggy's family. That was until Steve was called up to the stand.

"Um hi, I am Captain Steve Rogers. I knew Peggy when I was a little guy, before I turned into what I am today. Margaret Carter was the only one who believed in me when I was turned into the world first super soldier. She knew that I was meant for something bigger than going from city to city selling war bonds. She was my first love, the one who I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. But then life had a different plan for us. I went down with the Valkyrie and she had to live her life without me in it. But that was the best thing for her, she founded SHIELD, was the first female director of SHIELD, she became a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. Peggy Carter will be missed by me and my own family." Taking a deep breathe he looked over at the picture of the Peggy Carter he knew. "I love you Peg. You will be missed."

After the funeral was over the group made it back to the hotel suite, Emerson set up Eli and Dakota in the bed room for them to have a nap. While Bucky, Steve and Liam stayed in the living area of the suite. Liam was asking questions about Peggy that the two men tried to answer as much as they could. Liam had always been a question asker whenever something he didn't completely understand came up. Which in turn made him extremely smart.

"Dad? Uncle Bucky? Why were you surprised that Peggy lied about her age?" Liam asked remembering that the two gave each other confused looks when they saw the year she was actually born in.

"Well thats because Peggy lied on her enlistment form so she was able to help end the war." Steve explained. "We didn't know that she was actually only 17 when we met her. They wanted everyone to be at least 18 or older."

"Wow that is so cool. Right mom?" Liam said as Emerson sat next to him on the floor.

Nodding her head in agreement, she wrapped her arm around Liam's shoulders. "Its pretty badass, if I had to say so myself. Women and men did look a lot older than their age back in the day. So I'm sure it wasn't hard to pull off, at least with not all the technology we have today either."

"True, Uncle Tony would have figured out her secret very quickly." Liam said smiling softly. "She was awesome."

"That she was Liam, that she was." Steve said looking down at the only photo of Peggy and himself. Setting down the picture, he smiled at his wife. "What are we doing for dinner?"

"Um I don't know. What do British people eat?" Emerson asked looking between the two super soldiers. "Do we want to leave the hotel? Or should we just order down from the bar?"

"Lets order from the bar. I'm sure Liam and Eli want to swim right?" Steve said looking down at the nine year old who was shaking his head excitedly. "Alright. We will order, head to the pool, eat and then swim more if you want."

Rest of their stay in London was quick as Bucky didn't want to stay to long away from Jensen. Jensen was two months away from giving birth to the twins and was on complete bedrest. Banner and Dr. Cho were both considered that the babies may come sooner then anticipated. At first Bucky didn't want to go to London, but Jensen was going insane with how Bucky was treating her. Emerson exclaimed 'I told you so!' over the phone when she told Jensen what was going to happen. He wouldn't let her get up to do anything other than go to the bathroom. So Jensen told him to go by making Sarah and Jackson spend the weekend with her. Emerson also needed to be back home so they could throw Jensen's baby shower.

"So Jen how is the bedrest going?" Emerson asked blowing up the last striped pink and blue balloon she needed.

Looking up at her sister from her spot on the couch, Jensen shrugged her shoulders. Luckily Emerson got Steve to get Bucky out of the apartment an hour before the party so Jensen could move around freely. If she wanted too at least. So far she's only moved from her bed to the couch. Moving with two extra beings inside of her was much harder than normal. "As good as it can be I guess. You've been on bed rest before."

"I know I have. But you know making small talk." Emerson said hanging up the banner, but not before she mumbled. "Because you are just a ray of sun shine."

"Can we just not bring up the bedrest thing?" The older sister asked raising an eyebrow towards her sister. "I want to be able to talk about other things. And I know that is all I am going to be asked during the shower."

Looking back at her sister, she nodded her head. "Yeah of course. Sorry. Um what do you want to talk about?"

"Anything but babies or children."

Snorting loudly. "I am a mother of three how do I talk about anything but children?"

"Uh you did it just fine when you had Liam." Jensen said raising her eyebrow once again at her sister.

Shaking her head, Emerson sat on the chair across from the couch. Resting her legs over one of the arms of the chair, she thought about what her sister said. "Well when Liam was little, I had baby daddy issues. Until he was about 6 years old. Then I met Steve and my baby daddy issues moved to Germany. I befriend a freaking superhero, kissed him, watched him get thrown out of a window fighting freaking aliens. Met some more superheros. Fell in love with him. Broke up with him when he moved to freaking D.C. Went on a road trip with my best friend to get my superhero ex boyfriend back. Found out he was in the hospital because he fought Hydra again and found his best friend who lost everything about who he is. Met his first love. And that was all the first year of knowing Steve." Taking a deep breathe. "Then I found out I was pregnant with my second son, got engaged, was kidnapped by a speedster, thought freaking robots, got shot, woke up to no baby in my tummy, met Eli, Steve finding Bucky, getting married and having my third and last child. I have done so much that I like being able to just talk about my three beautiful children."

"Wow. You have an extremely crazy life. I'm also marrying a super soldier and I don't think I have ever done anything crazy but start dating Bucky. " Jensen whistled softly. "I guess you deserve to only talk about your children."

"Yes I do." Emerson smiled looking down at her phone. Steve just sent her a picture of the said children all taking a nap together. Liam being nine and not taking as many naps as he used to, it was nice to see him calm and resting with his siblings. "And they are just so adorable."

Looking at the picture, Jensen nodded her head. "Yes they are. Okay so how is Liam's baseball team?"

With a smile gracing her face, Emerson began telling her sister everything about Liam's team until the guest got there.

After the party ended the Rhodes women were sitting on the couch with anything related to a baby needs was surrounding them. Emerson and Sarah were exhausted when the party came to a close. They were waiting for Bucky, Steve and Jackson to come back to the apartment so the men could move the presents into the nursery. With the party being a success, Emerson thought she deserved a glass of wine. Pouring her and Sarah a glass of rosé and Jensen the virgin version. It was mainly grape juice put for Jensen it did the trick.

"Are you sure you don't have an alcohol problem?" Jensen asked glancing her eyes between the difference of the wine in both Emerson's and Sarah's glass.

Taking a healthy sip, Emerson shrugged her shoulders. "I am a mother of three, two of which are half super soldier. I think filling my wine glass to the top is justified."

"Touché, Emmy, touché." Sarah laughed after she took a sip of her own wine. "So how was London? Was it everything you dreamed it would be?"

Nodding her head. "Yeah it was actually. We site seed before we had to get to the funeral. As Buck and Steve have never truly gotten to see London for what it really is. Steve thought it was good for him to visit after stopping Hydra there months ago. The funeral was nice, Steve said some amazing words."

"That's great Em. Did Liam like it? He didn't ask about going to Germany did he?"

"No he didn't." The youngest blonde said taking another sip of her wine. "Thank god. I don't think I would have been able to handle telling him no. Liam did talk about Josh after he joined the baseball team, so I wouldn't have been surprised about him asking. But I think Liam was too focused on Peggy. And Steve has been on edge about the whole Josh thing anyway."

"Still? Really?" Jensen asked with a raised eyebrow. "That was months ago."

Nodding her head, Emerson rested her head on her hand. "Yep. I wish I was lying but he just can't get it out of his head. Its not about me and Josh. Its about Liam and Josh. He is just afraid that Josh is going to come back into Liam's life and Liam isn't going to want anything to do with him anymore."

"That is just ridiculous, Steve does know that right?" Sarah scoffed as she shook her head just thinking about Liam not wanting anything to do with Steve. "Steve has and always will be a father to Liam more than Josh ever was in his first six years of life."

"I know and I have told him that a million times mom, believe me." Emerson said standing up from her spot of the couch. Not realizing she felt a wet spot on her left side of the couch, where Jensen was sitting. "But Steve for some odd reason just can't get it out of his mind. Liam hasn't even brought up Josh once since June. And its September now. I just don't understand why that man can't get it through his super soldier skull."

"It just takes time hun." Sarah said standing to join her youngest daughter, not realizing her oldest was feeling contractions. "This is something that Steve is going to feel for the rest of his life. Worrying that his son may not want to be his dad anymore. Everything will be fine."

"Um guys." Jensen said grasping her stomach tightly. "I think we need to go to the hospital."
