Chapter 23

Steve's POV

To say I have been busy would be a massive understatement. On top of keep a close eye on Alex, who is six months pregnant, and trying to take on most of the responsibility with Abbey I have been busy with missions and training. On a rare day off however I spend the majority of the day trying to take care of my girls. Abbey came down with a double ear infection and Alex has been throwing up most of the day. Currently I am making lunch while both of them sleep in our bed. Bruce had to come up not too long ago too give Abbey meds before hooking Alex up to an IV, that's not the first time that's happened this time around either. Thirty minutes later I'm done with lunch and I walk into our room to see both of them dead asleep. I decide to check on Alex first so I gently sit down next to her on her side of the bed and press a kiss to her forehead. It takes her a few seconds but she wakes up.

"How ya feeling?" I ask.

"Not good, if you made lunch forget about it."

"You need to eat something." I say.

"We can try that later." she says grabbing my hand. "Just let Abbey sleep." she whispers.

"Why?"

"I don't want to deal with a cranky toddler right now, just come lay down with me."

"Hate to break it to you but Abbey is taking up the other half of the bed." I smirk.

"Then go put her in her room, she is out like a light."

"I'll be back." I say picking Abbey up. I go put her in her room and then go lay down next to Alex ad rub her back. "I need to finish painting the nursery." I say.

"We need to pick a name." she whispers."Still not naming him after my brother, that can be a middle name."

"Not sure I want to name him after Bucky either, he needs his own name."

"Fine with me." she says.

"You could always name him Tony." says Tony standing in our door way.

"Stark would it kill you to give us a little warning before you come up here?" ask Alex.

"Just checking in…"

"We are not naming him Tony." I say.

"Just a suggestion…You guys need anything?"

"Abbey is asleep and I can't get out of bed so no." says Alex.

"Well Pepper is making dinner tonight if you guys think you want to try and make it down for that." he says.

"We'll see." I say.

"Alright see you guys later." he says walking away.

Alex sighs and moves closer to me. "Less talk more sleep." she says.

"So no lunch?"

"Mention food one more time and I will rip out this IV and go puke again." she mumbles.

"Bruce should be up in another hour to check on you."

"Then let me sleep."

"Go ahead." I say rubbing her back.

Once Alex falls back asleep I slip out of our room and go into the nursery to finish the American Flag I was painting on the wall. When we decide a name I'm going to paint it under the flag but at this rate that might take a while. I stay in there the rest of the afternoon until Abbey wakes up and then I get her a snack before giving her more meds. I pick her up and take her back to Alex and I's room to see Alex in the bathroom putting on make up.

"Where you headed?" I laugh setting Abbey down.

"Figured I would try to look less dead for dinner tonight. Can you hand me my glasses of the nightstand?"

I grab them and hand them to her before setting Abbey down on the counter. "Feeling better?" I ask kissing her head.

"Yup." she smiles at me. "Hows B?"

"Gave her a snack and some more medicine, should make it to bed time no problem."

"Thank you, I know this hasn't been the best day off you've had in a while."

"But I got to spend the day with you two so it wasn't all bad. Also I finished painting everything in the nursery except the name since that has yet to be decided."

"We'll get to it." she smirks. "How bout Blake?"

"Eh, Hale?"

"Not sure about that….Jackson?"

"I like it…let's think about it but for right now I think that may be top of the list."

"It was a lot easier picking Abbey's name." she laughs.

"This is true." I say picking Abbey up. "You ready to go downstairs?"

"Yup."

I shift Abbey before grabbing Alex's hand and we take the elevator down to the common floor. Alex goes and sits across from Tony and I sit next to her.

"Hey four eyes, how ya feeling?"

"Rephrase that." she warns.

"Hello Alex, are you feeling better?" he sighs.

"Yes, thanks for asking, don't call me four eyes again."

"How did Abbey manage that double ear infection?" Ask Jane.

"That would be Tyler's fault." says Natasha sitting down. "He had it last week and since they are always around each other…"

"It's all good, we have her on medicine. She slept most of the day it was fine." I say.

Once dinner is over we head back upstairs and put Abbey to bed before the two of us get into bed. I'm working on some paperwork while Alex reads.

"Do you have to go up to base tomorrow?" she ask putting her book down.

"Not that I know of." I say finishing up. "Why?"

"I wanted you all to myself." she laughs laying her head on my chest.

"I'm all yours." I say kissing her head and laying down.

"I love you." she whispers.

"I love you too." I say before the two of us fall asleep.

Alex's POV

After six hours of labour Jackson Dimitri Rodgers was born on March 2nd. I was going to kill Fury, he had just sent Steve out on a mission when I went in to labour. Luckily he was back pretty quick and I'm going to assume that's because I was threatening Fury. Currently Steve is sitting next to me holding him and I'm laying my head on his shoulder. Bruce left to go tell everyone and that gives us a minute alone.

"He looks just like you." says Steve.

"It's only fair since Abbey looks like you." I smile.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great, just tired."

Bruce pops his head in the door and looks at us. "How do you feel about visitors?"

"Send them in quielty." I say. "He is asleep."

"You got it."

The door opens and everyone files in. Abbey starts to wiggle out of Tony's arms and I laugh a little.

"Come set her down next to me." I tell him. He does and I pull her into my lap. "That's your brother Abs." I say as she look curiously at him.

"She doesn't look too sure." laughs Sam.

"She'll warm up to him." smiles Steve.

"Alright, what's his name?" ask Natasha.

"Jackson Dimitri Rodgers." says Steve.

"He is precious." says Pepper.

"Do you want to hold him." I ask her.

"Sure." she smiles.

Steve gets up and hands him to Pepper before coming to sit down by me again. Abbey scoots off my lap and reaches for Wanda who picks her up and goes to stand by Pepper so that Abbey can look at Jackson.

"So no naming him after Barnes?" ask Clint.

"No, we decided he needed his own name." Says Steve.

"It's not Tony but it'll work." Laughs Tony.

"Don't you dare wake him up Stark." I warn.

"I'll try." he smirks.

"Why do Thor and Jane always have to miss this stuff?" ask Darcy.

"Thor has terrible timing." I laugh. "Besides they have a wedding to be back for in a few weeks." I say smiling at Tony and Pepper.

Jackson gets passed around the room before being handed back to me. After making sure everything is okay we get the all clear to go back up to our floor. Steve goes and puts Jackson in his crib while I take Abbey to our room and let her climb in bed with me. Steve walks in and smiles at me.

"What happened to her not sleeping in our bed?" he laughs sitting on the other side.

"I think we can let it slip today." I smirk as I lay down.

"Do you want me to wake you up for dinner?"

"A little before that so I can shower." I say before letting my head hit the pillow.

" I love you." he whispers leaning over to kiss my head.

"I love you too." I smile. "Wake me up if Jackson gets up."

"Okay."

I pull Abbey closer to me and kiss her head. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be happily married with two kids. I never even thought I would make it out of the Red Room but I wouldn't change anything that has happened to me. To know that I have a wonderful family and a husband who loves me is enough for me, and it will always be enough for me.

And that's the end but don't worry I started working on the sequel today so it should be up in the next few days! thank you guys so much for reading this story, I love how much you all loved it.
