AN: Time jump! Just a heads up that future chapters are not written chronologically. This will basically be a compilation of short fics/ideas. A glimpse into their life together.

July 1950

It was no secret that Captain America has returned from the dead, however, Steve decided he would not be in the front lines rather he agreed that he would only act as a consultant and back-up if necessary.

It didn't keep him from visiting his wife at work whenever he wanted though. So there he was, staring at the elevator doors waiting for it to open.

As soon as it did, he noticed the eerie silence of the floor, except for the muffled argument inside the conference room. The other agents were huddled near the door and windows trying to hear what the argument was all about. The agents looked at him and smirked, some cringed, and others shook their heads. He immediately knew that his wife was inside, possibly getting involved in the argument.

Since he was not part of the SSR, he cannot interrupt the meeting and had no choice but to wait outside. Ten minutes later, the door opened and all of them jumped when Peggy slammed the door behind her. She was seething with anger and frustration that she didn't notice Steve was in the room. Jack Thompson followed her out, "I'm your superior Carter, the majority of the agents agreed with my plan so you will follow my orders."

Peggy turned to him and glared, "with all due respect sir, I refuse to have any participation in risking the lives of abducted children."

"We have no choice agent Carter, these men wi-"

"We do have a choice! But you're too proud to actually listen to it unle-"

"You finish that sentence Carter, and I'll suspend you for insubordination."

The two agents glared at each other. Before Peggy could speak, Steve stepped in and hold out his arm between them, "sir, I hate to interrupt but maybe both of you could cool off your heads first," he turned to Peggy and gently grabbed her hand, "Peg? Please?"

Jack threw his arms in the air before turning to leave towards his office. The other agents went back to their respective desks to pack up for the day and Steve tuggged Peggy's hand to catch her attention. "What?" Frustration still evident in her voice.

Steve smiled, "come with me."

"Where are we going?" Peggy asked as soon as Steve sat on the driver's seat.

"You'll see."

It was a quiet drive, Peggy stared out the window and watched as the scenery changed. She was still mad at her co-workers for not listening and not having a sound mind to realize that Jack's plan to infiltrate an underground base filled with children was a terrible idea.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she felt Steve lift her hand and press a gentle kiss to it. She turned to him and carressed his face. "I'm sorry darling, I just can't stand the idea of endangering children. They're probably scared, traumatized, and it's just not right."

Steve enveloped her hand with his, "no need to apologize honey, it's alright."

They were out of the city and a few minutes later, they approached a street lined with houses. Peggy saw children playing, adults walking their dogs, and elderly watering their garden. Steve took a left turn and parked the car in front of a small park.

Steve got out of the car and fetched a picnic basket from the backseat before opening the passenger's door for his wife. They'd been married for more than a year and he still felt like living in a dream whenever he was reminded they are married.

Peggy slipped her arm around his as they walked across the grass. They approached a tree in front of the park and Steve laid out the blanket and set their basket down.

After enjoying their snacks, they were cuddled together as they rested against the tree. The warm weather accompanied by the wind was comforting. Peggy released a sigh as she snuggled close. They've been watching the residents go through about their day, both thinking what it would be like for them in the near future.

Peggy looked up at Steve and kissed his cheek, "thank you, darling."

Steve smiled at her and kissed the top of her head, "I hope you were able to relax a bit."

"I did and I'm so grateful for you. For this. You're always so thoughtful," she closed her eyes and enjoyed the domesticity of the moment, "I promise I'll make it up to you soon."

Steve hummed and continued to ran his hand along her arm before speaking, "I passed by this area couple of months ago when I was driving around. I imagined us living in this kind of neighborhood, with kids growing up, I drive you to work, we'll walk the dog, enjoy the sunset, greet the neighbors. I imagine us enjoying life."

There were tears in Peggy's eyes as she listened to Steve's version of their life together. She wanted it all, she wanted that warmth, the love, the hapiness. Five years ago she thought all those dreams of a happy life was gone but now here she was.

"It'll be wonderful," she commented.

Steve chuckled, "I thought so too," he paused and squeezed her hand, "that's why when I saw this house was up for sale, I contacted the agent to inquire about it."

Peggy's eyes widened and she sat up straight and looked at her husband. "You did not," a huge smile appeared on her face as Steve nodded.

"I did. I bought the house a few weeks back. It's got a great location, not that far from the city. Safe neighborhood and the inside was great, also the backyard."

She launched herself at Steve and laughed as tears streamed down her face, "you. are. unbelievable." She pulled back and cupped his face, "I don't know what I did to deserve you." Steve kissed her and he felt her smile against his lips.

Steve knew Peggy was not the type of woman who needed saving, protecting, or anything that would make her feel like a damsel in distress but nobody said he couldn't spoil her when he can.

"How did you afford it?! It must've cost a fortune!" She looked at him with a worried expression.

Steve just shrugged, "the self-defense class was paying pretty well, and I was able to sell some of my drawings and paintings at a shop. Kids are quite fond with it."

Peggy went back to snuggle against him and laid her head on his chest. She felt as if her heart would burst from the happiness she was feeling and she couldn't wait to start making memories inside their home.

Home. She smiled to herself and looked around the neighborhood before she closed her eyes again.
