Eva was now 7 months pregnant and sick of men!
If Steve wasn't thinking she was made of glass, it was Bucky trying to help her every two minutes and then there was Tony. That man had better start wearing his suit around the tower. Eva was sick to death of the baby jokes, just one more and she was really going to hurt him. She stormed, well…waddled into the bar around dinner time, slamming the door to the office open before slumping into the chair and pulling this week's paperwork towards her. Amanda appeared at the door with a cup of tea and a piece of red velvet cake, the chef's special.
"Thank you." she said with a sigh.
"How did you ditch your bodyguards?" Amanda asked, nudging the cake towards her boss. Eva stuck the fork into the cake and took a mouthful. It was heavenly.
"Not easily. God, I need to give him a pay rise, this is amazing."
"I'll tell him. So come on, normally you can't get away from them."
"I may have told them I was going to discuss nursery colours with Pepper." Amanda laughed at this. "Do me a solid?" Eva continued. "Just fuck Bucky's brains out, till he can't get out of bed. I mean, I need a break."
"And what are you going to do with Steve?"
"Oh, I can entertain that man, I'll just give him a list of things I need for the birth, and he'll be fine."
Amanda laughed again. Then they both looked at the door as both Steve and Bucky tried to get through at the same time.
"You said you were with Pepper."
"Well, I lied."
"Mrs Rogers, that isn't the way to treat your husband."
"Oh, shut it, Buck. I need 5 minutes without either of you breathing down my neck."
Steve and Eva had married two months after finding out about the baby. It was a small event inside the tower. Tony was in his element, ordering people about and making sure their day was special. Since then, she'd been Mrs Rogers whenever either of them was pissed at something she'd done, especially when it came down to baby Rogers. Steve spotted the cake in front of Eva; he had been trying to keep her away from having too much sugar. She had been craving it and could eat his body weight in it. Eva noticed his gaze and pulled her cake towards her.
"Try and take it and I will divorce you so quickly it'll make your head spin."
"Are you saying it's me or the cake?"
"Damn right. It's one piece and the baby really likes it."
"You can't keep using that."
"Watch me, till I push this kid out, I'm gonna use it to my advantage."
They all laughed then, and Amanda managed to drag the boys into the bar while Eva did the paperwork and got some rest from them.
…..
Today was the day of the baby shower. Tony had organized it all and Eva was not ready for it. As she walked out onto the roof top garden of the tower, she nearly ran back to their room. The whole garden was blue, everything blue. Was it mean that she wanted to tell Tony that the nurse had got it wrong, and they were actually having a girl?
Steve squeezed her hand. "He does it, cos he loves you sweetheart. You're like a daughter to him."
Steve wasn't wrong. Since Tony had found out before their wedding that Eva had no family after they had been killed in the New York attack, he had become like a father to her, he had even walked her down the aisle.
"I know, but he's like the most embarrassing dad ever."
"He will also be the best and most embarrassing godfather/grandfather too."
"I know. Let's get this over with, my feet already hurt."
Steve laughs and they walk further into the party. When Tony spotted Eva, he pulled her into a hug. "So, I've started baby proofing everywhere. I started in your kitchen earlier today."
"What?!"
"I mean, the kid is gonna be in there and our apartment the most, so it seemed like a wise idea."
"Hang on a minute. You had people in our apartment and now you think my son, our son is gonna be in your place as much as ours."
"Yeah, I mean you and the captain here are gonna want some alone time and hell you might decide you want more than one." Tony stated, nodded to her rather large bump.
Steve felt Eva tense next to him. Her hormones had been off the chart and her mood swings were out of this world. He rubbed her arm, trying to calm her down. She really did love Tony, and she would be upset later if she did something to upset him. "Thank you, Tony. Now let's see this party."
Eva gave Steve a glare. 'Shit, he was gonna pay for this.' Steve thought to himself as Tony and Pepper showed them round. Eva looked at what they had done for them, it was amazing, her bottom lip started to quiver, and she soon had tears rolling down her face. Steve watched as she ran over to Tony and hugged him, nearly knocking the wind out of him.
"Careful kid, you'll end up flattening me."
"You're gonna be an amazing grandfather/godfather to this child."
"I can't wait for a mini you and Cap baby. But I also have something else to discuss with you." Tony took Eva's arm and led her towards one of the tables in the corner. "So, I was thinking."
"That's always a dangerous thing when it's you."
Tony gave her a glare. "Since you only have the two old men to call family, and this little man when he arrives, I was hoping you would do me the honour of being my daughter. I mean, I know you're too old to actually need a dad, but I thought…."
Eva flung herself into Tony's arms again, he never got to finish his sentence. When the shock wore off, he kissed the top of her head and hugged her to his chest till Steve came over.
Eva stepped away and towards her husband who rubbed his hand up her back gently. "Everything ok sweetheart?"
"Did you know about this?" She asked, pointing towards Tony and the papers on the table.
"If I was to say yes…" Steve started.
"Then I'm surprised you managed to hide it and I can't wait for this little guy to meet his family."
Steve kissed her nose and then her lips. They looked over at all the friends and family. This is what they had both always wanted. Steve looked down at Eva, her left hand was rubbing lightly over her bump, he loved her so much.
"Can I get you anything?"
Eva looked up at Steve. "Nope, I'm good, I have everything I need right here.
It was then she noticed Bucky making his way over to Amanda, he looked worried.
"What is that man up to now?"
"He's gonna ask her to marry him." Eva looked at Steve and he noticed the tears in her eyes. He'd had the same ones when Bucky had asked him his thoughts on it all.
Their attention was taken back to the couple as Bucky picked Amanda up and spun her round.
It looked like they were all finally getting their happy endings.
The end.
