A/N: Hi again! I had some more time and I'd figure I'd give you all this chapter. We're meeting Amy's mom in this one and she'll be around for a bit. Give me some feedback if you like her or if you don't want to see her again after her final appearance. And With this chapter we are super close to the birth of Baby Rogers. So if you want to see that, please let's try to review. After 30+ I'll give you the next chapter. So enjoy! And review :D
Every new parent to be has their worries and superheroes are no different. As Amy got closer and closer to her due date, Steve couldn't help but worry if the super serum that changed his physique had also changed his DNA. Would their baby be as scrawny as Steve had been for the first 22 years of his life? Or would the serum influence the baby as well?
There was, unfortunately, no way to give Steve his answers. Amy's thinking led her to believe the super serum had done something, considering she was huge. She had gotten bigger than both Pepper and Natasha had during their pregnancies and she was attributing it to the super baby inside her. It definitely wasn't her diet. Steve had made sure she ate healthier than ever before.
Amy's parents had come in from Massachusetts as the end of January rolled around. With Amy's due date in February, they had wanted to make sure they were around for the birth of their grandchild.
'Mom, seriously stop. Look, I'm fine. I'm- mom! I don't need another blanket!' Amy was getting frustrated with her mom's constant coddling.
'Sweetheart, it's cold in here. Don't you think with all of his money Mr. Stark could afford heating?' Diana Hall was not a woman who kept opinions to herself.
Amy's mouth dropped open as she listened to her mother speak.
'Mom! Don't talk about Tony like that! It's rude. And it's not cold in here.' She pushed the blanket to the side of the couch and stretched her legs out to the side.
Diana sighed as she folded up the blanket. 'I just don't understand how you could let that husband of yours go off and leave you alone. And so close to your due date.' she bent and picked up one of Kira's dolls and a science book belonging to Leo.
Amy sighed and crossed her arms over her massive stomach.
'Mother, I am sure you understand the concept of superhero. You also understand that Steve happens to be one. Steve would rather be here with me, just like Tony would rather be here with Pepper and the boys and just like Clint and Nat would rather be here with the girls. I made him go. It was my choice to be left behind. Now you have to accept that.' Amy began crying and she spoke, a victim to her hormones. Diana rushed to her side.
'Oh sweetheart. I'm sorry. Of course Steve wants to be here. Why don't I make you some lunch?'
Amy shrugged, not caring about the food, just wanting her mother to leave her alone.
It was another two days before the Avengers made it back home. The first thing Steve did, before even taking off his suit, was run to give Amy a kiss.
He knelt next to the couch. 'How are you? No pains? The baby's okay?'
Amy smiled at his nervous questions and patted his cheek. 'You're sweet. The only problem I had was missing you. And my mother, but that's a different story.' she grimaced. Steve smiled,
'She's not bad. Now move your legs so I can sit with you.' He lifted her legs and sat down, placing her legs on top of his. Tony gasped.
'My couch! Your spangly suit is filthy and you're sitting on my couch!' he clumped over, halfway through the process of unsuiting, his legs encased in metal. Steve rolled his eyes.
'I'm not getting up Stark. Go finish changing and see your sons.'
Tony stood there for a moment, as Nat, Clint and Bruce stood behind him, laughing. Finally he gave Steve a half smile and left to find Pepper and the boys.
Amy rested her head on Steve's shoulder.
'I like the spangly suit. It's adorable.' She laughed.
A/N #2: So how do you like Diana? She'll be around for the birth and then, if you want to see more of her, she'll be around. If not, she can head home. Leave lots of reviews telling me what you want! And also, guesses for the gender of the baby! :D
