Steve had called the triplets and told them to come to Henry's(well really the three of theirs) room. Steve sat on the bed, wondering what to say. He felt that he needed to ask the triplets permission before asking Nat.
"No Einstein be quiet" Henry told his brother.
"Look it's not Salk's fault that it had astrophysical radiation on it" Ronnie argued.
"Kids what's, wait I don't want to know what happened" 'because you'd probably get confused' his mind filled in. "I need to ask the three of you something, something important"
The three kids sat down in anticipation.
'OMG IS IT HAPPENING' Ronnie thought.
'OMG YASSSS' he brothers think in reply.
"What is it Dad" Ronnie slid her hands into her brothers. Steve of course noticed this and he let out a small breath he didn't know he had been holding.
He slowly took out the box and popped open the top revealing the ring. "I was wondering if you three would be ok with me marrying your mother. I love her so much and I want to make sure that it would be okay with the three of you" he asked with tears in his eyes.
"About damn time" they replied before tackling their father. The whole room was filled with the sound of giggles. They all laid down next to each other.
"Dad can I see the ring again?" Xander asked, sitting up. "Sure" "Holy Shiitake, is that real?!" he practically screamed.
"Yeah, even after we bought the apartment I still had some money from the payout the army gave me" Steve told his youngest.
"Dad, we're so happy for you" the triplets say together. Ronnie notices the time "Ummm, Dad. What time is that date at?"
Steve looks at his watch before a blush takes over his cheek "Shit"
"Language" Henry reminded Steve and the older man stuck out his tongue.
"Very mature Dad, we love you" Ronnie kissed his cheek.
"And she'll say yes" Henry said and wrapped his arms around Ronnie.
"Or she'll have us to deal with" Xander gave Steve a hug. Steve gave them one last sheepish smile before running out of the room while fixing his tie.
Natasha stood in front of her mirror, getting ready alone since Steve had insisted that she have her own time to get ready.
'He's such a gentleman. I wonder what's up, well it is our one year anniversary coming up." She thought excitedly while putting her chapstick on, she knew that Steve liked to see her natural beauty and not just makeup. She put on the chain that held his dog tags under her sweater. She was quickly brought out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door.
"Coming!" she shouted and slipped her feet into her flats. She grabbed her crossbody bag and opened the door.
"Hey" Steve looked amazing. Natasha sucked in a breath. She didn't have any coherent thought until Steve kissed her cheek. "You look amazing my love"
"Thanks" she managed to get out.
"Ready?" Steve asked. Natasha had a different vibe from him than usual, he was confident in the most giddy way and she loved it.
"Yeah, let's go" she turned off the light to her room and wrapped her arm around Steve's.
"Steve this is amazing, thank you." Natasha smiled at her boyfriend who smiled back, something in the back of his eyes raising a question from Natasha. "Steve what is it?"
Steve smiled at her and threw his napkin on the table. He grabbed her hand with his right and put the left one in his pocket.
"Natasha, ever since the moment I met you, I've been in love with you. You've made my life here heaven and full of more love than I thought was possible. So I'm asking you, Natasha, Natalia, my love, my everything will you do my the greatest honor of becoming my wife?" He was down on one knee, the lights hitting her face in the exact right place to make her look like an angel. She had tears coming out of her eyes, forgetting anything else and just kissed him. They both stood up as fast as their lips attached. Steve could still taste the salt from her tears on her lips. They slowly broke apart and started hearing the applause in the background as well as comments about them 'being American'. "So yes?" Steve joked.
"Yes old man Rogers, I'll marry you."
"I love you"
"I love you too"
They made their way back to their room where they walked in and found the room lit up with lights, a cheesy pop song playing in the background. Steve looked around and immediately knew who had done it, of course they had a backup plan.
"Steve" She took off her purse and looked at him. Blue and green collided. They both felt a spark and they knew it. The song changed to "All of Me" by John Legend and Steve took Natasha's hand.
"May I have this dance my beautiful fiance?" He kissed her knuckle.
"Tell me one way I could say no" she walked over with him to the living room where the couch had been pushed back to make more room.
What would I do without your smart mouth.
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out?
You've got my head spinning, no kidding.
Steve rested his hand on her waist and Natasha wrapped her arms around him. She rested her head against his chest to listen to his heartbeat.
I can't pin you down. What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride.
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me.
But I'll be alright. My head's under water.
But I'm breathing fine.
You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind.
'Cause all of me loves all of you.
Love your curves and all your edges.
All your perfect imperfections.
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you.
You're my end and my beginning.
Even when I lose, I'm winning.
'Cause I give you all of me.
And you give me all of you, oh. How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too?
The world is beating you down.
I'm around through every mood. You're my downfall, you're my muse.
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues.
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you. My head's under water.
But I'm breathing fine.
You're crazy, and I'm out of my mind.
They both connected to this song and to each other on so many levels. Their love is unending. As the last part of the song played out they moved their lips towards each other's.
'Cause all of me loves all of you.
Love your curves and all your edges.
All your perfect imperfections.
Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you.
You're my end and my beginning.
Even when I lose, I'm winning.
'Cause I give you all of me.
And you give me all of you. I give you all of me.
And you give me all of you, oh.
