Disclaimer: I do not own Captain America, The Avengers or any other movie that has to do with Marvel or their plots/characters. I do however own MY plot and MY OCs.

Being only almost 19 I haven't had a kid nor have I been around anyone who's been pregnant/recently had a baby. If I get something wrong or if something happens normally and I don't mention it(or if something doesn't normally happen) please let me know ^_^ also I know what Braxton Hicks contractions are but I figured Skylar wouldn't know the name for everything.

If I make any major spelling or grammatical errors please let me know. I reread this 3 times but I always miss something.

Note: By the end of this chapter it's been about two and half weeks of them knowing each other.

Thank you: DGMSilverAirHead03, meangirl8, Crystal-Wolf-Guardain-967, and Guest for being my first reviews.

"Thank you again." Skylar said as Steve put together the crib in the living area as she sat at the kitchen bar holding a cup of tea.

"It's no problem. Thank you for the coffee." Steve said as he gave her a smile before taking a drink from the cup of coffee. He put it back down on the coaster on the small table beside the couch before he got back to assembling the crib. "Is there anything else you didn't put together yet?"

"Well I was contemplating on getting them a little playpen but they don't really have enough toys for it to be called a playpen." Skylar said with a sheepish smile. "And I was thinking about getting them one of those bouncer things but I figured I'd wait a few months … and they won't be old enough for those bigger things for a while, but thanks anyway. Come to think of it I still have to get one of those bottle warmers… do you think if I just put the bottle in hot water would that work?" she mused.

"Um, I'm not the best person to ask when it comes to babies." Steve said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, I was just thinking out loud." Skylar said with a small chuckle. "Oh, I wanted to show you the bottles I got." Skylar said as she got up and opened a kitchen cabinet. She came over to Steve and showed him two bottles; one had a bunch of bunnies with little carrots and the other bunny faces.

"I take it you like rabbits." Steve said with a chuckle.

"Yeah. I love bunnies, they're so cute. I even got them a little bib with little carrots on it and a bunny face." Skylar said with a grin. Steve smiled, it was hard not to around her. Suddenly Skylar gasped and put a hand on her belly. Steve's smile dropped.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Skylar shook her head.

"Nothing, I'm fine! Ah!" she gasped and ended up dropping the bottles to hold her belly. Steve quickly stood with wide eyes. "I'm okay." Skylar quickly said. "I'm- Ow!"

"Is the baby coming? I thought you said April?"

"I did say April; the baby's not coming. I'm fine."

"You're in pain, you're clearly not fine." Steve said with a deep frown. "I'm taking you to the hospital."

"You don't need to take me to the hospital, Steve, I swear I'm ok-AY!" Skylar was cut off with other gasp as she reached out and gripped his arm as she squeezed her eyes shut.

"I'm taking you to the hospital." Steve repeated.

"No, no." Skylar said as he grabbed her coat. "It's just those, uh… what the hell are they called? The fake labor pains. Some women don't even feel them, lucky me!"

"Have you had them before?" Steve asked. Skylar shook her head.

"No but I read about them. They fell like the real thing, they're normally uh… 15 to like 75 seconds but don't last any longer than 2 minutes." She said before taking a deep breath. "Really, Steve, I'm okay." Skylar leaned over slightly, her hand on the arm of the couch as Steve stood beside her, her coat over his arm and his arms up in case he needed to catch or steady her. "See, I'm okay." She said after a moment of no pain. "I'm good." She slowly stood up straight and let out breath. Steve relaxed and picked up the bottles she'd dropped when she went to pick them up. "Thanks." She said as she took them. He watched her as she walked back into the kitchen to put the bottles back in the cabinet. "Would you like more coffee?"

"Um, I'm good, thank you." Steve said.

"Sorry to scare you like that." Skylar said. "I figured I would never get them since I'm so far along. Some women feel them earlier in their pregnancy."

"It's fine." Steve said.

"Well it's nice to see you won't freak out when the day comes." Skylar said with a smile. Steve rubbed the back of his neck with a semi-nervous chuckle.

…

Steve finished assembling the crib and tested its sturdiness before turning to Skylar, who was in the kitchen, with a smile. His smile dropped when he saw her frowning at a small pocket calendar and her cell phone.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked as he walked over.

"Huh?" Skylar looked up. "Oh, nothing." she said with a smile as she put her phone away and closed the small calendar.

"You sure?" Steve asked. Skylar bit her bottom lip and rubbed her forehead before running a hand through her hair.

"I… I have one of those… childbirth classes later this week. Where they teach you how to breath and all that…"

"So what's wrong?"

"Well, the friend that was going to go with me just texted me saying they can't make it cause it turns out they have to work."

"I could go with you." Steve said. Skylar laughed.

"Steve, you don't have to, you've been such a sweetheart lately and you've only just met me."

"I just feel bad." He said. "I mean you're doing this all by yourself because of what happened in New York."

"I'd be doing this by myself regardless." Skylar said. "If anything I'd have a bit more money once the baby's born but..." she trailed off. "I understand that you were there that day but there's nothing you could've done that would've prevented his death. He was in one of the first places hit. If you feel somehow responsible or-"

"I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do. You shouldn't have to do this by yourself. I don't feel responsible that he died because I know I couldn't save him but I feel he died because he wasn't here …with you. In my time a man took responsibility for the family he started."

"Didn't they also wait until marriage in your time?" Skylar asked as she crossed her arms. "Besides, he wanted nothing to do with us anyway." She moved one hand to her belly while her other held her arm.

"That's not the point…" Steve said. "The point is… I know I only met you a few days ago but… I dunno I just, it doesn't feel right you have to go through this alone."

"Why can't there be more guys like you?" Skylar asked with a smile as tears came to her eyes.

"Well most guys from the 40s are over 70." Steve said with a forced laugh. Skylar wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"Stupid hormones." She said with a small chuckle. Steve took a tissue from the box on the counter and held it out to her. "Thanks." She said as she dabbed at her eyes.

"So what time is that class?" Steve asked with a smile. More tears came to Skylar's eyes and she threw her arms around him. He gently rubbed her back as she thanked him for what seemed like the millionth time.

"I probably should have thought that through beforehand." Skylar said while she tried to hide a smile as the two walked back to the apartment building late in the evening.

"I couldn't tell who was more jealous, the women because of you or the men because of me." Steve said with a slight smile.

"Oh either way it was because of you." Skylar said with a laugh. Steve chuckled.

"Yes but the women weren't jealous of me." Steve said. Skylar giggled. "I'm just glad no one took any pictures."

"Yeah, I was surprised about that." Skylar said. "I thought for sure at least one of them would've tried to get a picture of you."

"Well… I meant of us." Steve said. Skylar tilted her head as she looked up at him. "Well you know… someone might get the wrong idea."

"Are you saying you wouldn't want me as a girlfriend?" Skylar asked as she put a hand to her chest with a look of mock hurt.

"Well, that's not exactly what I'd be worried about." Steve said with a chuckle.

"Ah, you're talking about people thinking I'm having your super-baby." Skylar said as she gave him a small nudge with her elbow. "Hmm…would that work?" she mused.

"What?" Steve looked at her with wide eyes, not understanding her question.

"If someone had your baby would the baby also be all super-like?"

"It's not like I'm Superman." Steve said. "I wasn't born this way; I don't think it'll be passed down to any of my… possible children."

"I know that. I've seen your exhibit." Skylar said.

"You saw that, huh?"

"Of course, I'm sure everyone in D.C.'s gone at least once." Skylar said with a shrug. "I can't believe you used to be so… not big. I always thought they were exaggerating your height but no, you are a giant."

"Hey, a lot of people are 6'2" it's not just me."

"I know but to me you're huge." Skylar said with a laugh. "I'm tiny compared to you."

"Well, in height." Steve teased with a smirk.

"Hey!" Skylar playfully hit his arm making him laugh. "You can't insult a pregnant woman. There's a law against it or something." Steve laughed and Skylar ended up giggling.

"I wasn't insulting you." Steve said.

"Uh-huh." Skylar crossed her arms.

"No, really. You're very beautiful."

"Yeah I'm a beautiful balloon." Skylar said.

"The prettiest balloon there is." Steve said.

"You're not supposed to agree with me." Skylar said making Steve laugh as she playfully hit his arm. She chuckled. "Thank you though." Steve smiled down at her.

"So, do you have any other classes or appointments?" he asked.

"Oh well I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks if you wanna see the baby." Skylar said turning to smile up at him.

"When and where?" Steve asked which made Skylar grin.

Skylar sat in the waiting room at the doctors and felt her phone vibrate. She looked at it and saw Steve's number. She quickly stepped out into the hallway, after letting the woman behind the counter know, and answered it.

"Steve?" she asked.

"Hey, Skylar, I'm really sorry I'm running late-"

"Steve, it's okay, I understand." Skylar said and he could hear the smile in her voice.

"I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Steve, take your time it's really okay." Skylar said with a slightly chuckle. The door beside Skylar opened.

"Ms. Reagan, the doctor will see you now."

"Steve, the doctor's calling me in. I'll show you the picture when you get back, okay? Be safe."

"Dang it… I'll pick you up after then."

"Thank you, Steve. See you."

"See you."

…

After a quick 'How've you been feeling?' 'Any concerns?' from the doctor – in which Skylar learned that the pains she had felt three weeks before were called Braxton hicks contractions – Skylar laid back on the table and lifted her shirt. She jumped as her doctor put the ultrasound gel on her belly.

"Cold?" she asked Skylar with a smile.

"You'd think I'd be used to it by now." Skylar said returning the smile. The two chuckled and the doctor picked up the wand and put it against Skylar's belly. There was a knock on the door and a nurse opened the door a bit in order to poke her head in.

"Dr. Williams. Ms. Reagan's… friend is here." The nurse looked like she was in slight shock.

"Steve?" Skylar asked with a smile.

"Mhm." The nurse nodded with her eyebrows high. She opened the door more and Steve came in. Skylar bit her lip before she burst out laughing.

"Hey there, Captain." Skylar said as Steve smiled sheepishly at her and the doctor, who looked as surprised as the nurse.

"There wasn't any time to change." He said.

"Well people definitely aren't going to talk now." Skylar said with an amused smirk. Steve rubbed the back of his neck as he held his cowl in his other hand. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to look at my baby?" Steve's eyebrows went up and turned to look at the screen. Skylar couldn't help the giant smile that came to her face as she watched Steve's grow.

Steve headed down the stairs, stopping on Skylar's level when he saw her struggling with her laundry basket that was on the ground – she had to put it down in order to close and lock her door. She was having trouble figuring out a way of getting down to pick it up. He hurried over and picked it up; she looked up and smiled when she saw him.

"You always seemed to be around when I need you." Skylar said with a chuckle.

"I'm always glad to help." Steve said with a smile.

"I'm sorry you have to help me so much."

"Like I said, I'm always glad to help." He said.

"C'mere." Skylar motioned for him to lean down to her level. He raised his eyebrows but leaned down. Skylar kissed his cheek making him smile and chuckle as she grinned up at him.

Skylar and Steve went for a walk to a local park; once they got there Skylar sat on a bench to read while Steve started jogging around the park. Every time Steve would pass Skylar's bench she would tell him how many laps he'd run. After the tenth lap Skylar started saying one-liners instead such as 'Do you run on solar power or wind?' and 'All we need now is a giant hamster wheel.'

A half hour he stopped and sat next to her only slightly out of breath. Skylar immediately scrunched up her nose and turned to him as she put a bookmark in her book.

"You stink." She said bluntly making him laugh.

"How's your book?" he asked.

"Pretty good."

"Whoa, you're almost done." Steve said as he took note of where she'd put her bookmark.

"I'm a quick reader." Skylar said with a smile as she pushed her hair behind her ear. Steve chuckled. "Why don't we get home so you can shower?"

"I don't smell that bad."

"Shouldn't you have super senses or something?" Skylar asked with a laugh as she started to stand. Steve helped her as he stood as well. "So hey… do you wanna order some pizza and watch a movie?"

"Are you going to get normal pizza or some crazy concoction like last time?"

"I have a craving for normal pizza, thank you very much..." Skylar said as she crossed her arms. "Though I might want some pickles on the side..." she added with a sheepish smile. Steve laughed and nodded.

"Alright, we'll get you some pickles."

…

Steve got himself a glass of water as Skylar changed in her bedroom into more comfortable clothes.

"Did you pick out a movie?" Skylar called.

"Ah, well, there's a lot to choose from..."

"I'll help you pick." Skylar said as she came out of her room in a large shirt and sweats. "What haven't you seen?"

"Ah well..." Steve chuckled sheepishly.

"Let me rephrase that. What have you seen? Have you seen any Disney movies?"

"Well… I saw Pinocchio, Bambi… and Dumbo when they first came out. Oh and Snow White." He said. He looked up to see Skylar smiling at him. "What?"

"That's it?" Steve nodded. "You haven't watched any other Disney movies since the 40s?" Skylar asked. Steve's eyebrows shot up.

"There's more than those?" he asked. Skylar's eyes widened briefly as she let out a breath.

"What else have you seen?"

"Uh… Wizard of Oz, I liked that one… All Quiet on The Western Front."

"I read that book; that's a World War One movie." Skylar said. Steve nodded.

"Yeah… I saw it with Bucky."

"Oh." Skylar's smile faded slightly. She remembered seeing the exhibit for Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes near the Captain America exhibit. "What was he like?" She asked before she could stop herself. "I-I'm sorry…"

"It's okay." Steve told her with a smile. "He was great solider… and a great friend…"

Saying this now, I need like 5 weeks worth of chapters/events for chapters before I do movie events (which won't really be much of the movie it'll just be when the movie stuff happens) so if anyone has any cute ideas or anything they'd like to see I always give credit. OR do you guys just want me to post what I have already and get right to the semi movie events and post-movie events? The latter half of chapter three is where 'movie events' start as of right now.

I know I skipped two weeks but I couldn't think of any cute fuffy caring scenes.
