Hey everyone! I'm so sorry it took me so long to write this very short chapter. There'll be more soon I promise you that. :) Thank you to Romanogers4ever22 for your review! I already know the babies gender although the name is something I'm not totally sure about. if anyone has name suggestions feel free to share them. Okay, enough with my rambling, back to the chapter.

In the morning when Steve woke, he didn't even get the chance to move his head before a butterfly tap thunked against his hand. Grinning he noticed Natasha open her eyes and yawn, "good morning Nat." He whispered as he kissed her ear. She laughed and his heart swelled at the sight of his beautiful girlfriend, and soon to be something else, if everything today went according to plan.

He had a ring currently stashed in his uniform pocket and he was planning for today to be the big day.

Natasha stirred sleepily and rubbed her stomach, "the little one likes the mornings." She murmured and he chuckled, "go back to sleep, I'm just going to go get something for you to eat." She nodded and closed her eyes again.

Quietly he left the room and headed for the kitchen. Upon arrival he blazed right by Tony and Clint and beelined for the pantry. "Woah, Stevie, what's going on?" Tony looked up from his coffee cup and Clint did as well.

"Everything alright?" Steve nodded as he quickly prepared a mix for French Toast, "I'm proposing to Nat today," he said as he dipped the first slice into the mixture, "but I need to make her breakfast first." He had just dropped the first slice onto the sizzling pan when he realized there hadn't been any response. Wiping his hands on his jeans he looked up. Tony and Clint were staring back at him stunned, their jaws practically dragging on the ground.

"Did I just hear you right?" Tony asked after the initial shock had worn off. Steve nodded tensely, "I have the ring and everything ready. I hope she likes it." Clint shook himself, "Judging from the way she used to talk to me after every one of your dates a couple years ago, I think she'll like the ring." Steve smiled happily, "you really think so?" The other man nodded and he felt a little bit less stressed.

Turning back to the french toast he quickly made a big stack and piled them onto a plate before drizzling them in syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. He even added a few sliced strawberries and blueberries as well. It was, after all, a special occasion.

"Dude, you should make the team breakfast more often." Tony commentated as he eyed the whipped cream. Steve snorted, "Sorry guys, but this is strictly for Nat, she's the pregnant one after all." There were disgruntled sighs from the counter but Steve ignored them and, juggling the plate full of food, as well as a glass of water, he headed back up the stairs.

When he entered the bedroom he found it exactly as he had left it. Natasha was curled up on the bed sleeping softly her hand under her cheek. She looked so sweet that he almost didn't want to wake her.

Walking over to the closet that held his suit, he found the pocket and withdrew the ring, he pocketed it and then cleared his throat.

"Natasha, wake up I have food."

She stirred and blinked open sleepy eyes to give him a blinding smile that made his knees feel weak. Handing her the plate and the water glass he perched nervously on the end of the bed and watched as she lit up.

"Steve this is the sweetest thing ever!"

Picking up a fork she dug in happily. Steve grinned and joined her side, occasionally stealing a blueberry or two, but otherwise content just to watch her enjoy her meal. When she finally set the plate to the side she felt full and satisfied, "Mmm that was really good Steve, thank you." She closed her eyes and rubbed her stomach. The perfect picture of relaxed.

Steve, who felt anything but relaxed, simply nodded and then leaned over and nudged the edge of her pajama shirt up. He kissed her belly gently before stretching up and kissing her on the lips. Laughing softly she deepened the kiss and tugged on his shirt. He rolled over so that he was above her and ran his hands through her hair, kissing her neck before making his way back to her lips and paused above them.

Her green eyes pierced into his blue ones as he continued to hesitate. "What is it?" She whispered and he swallowed before hoping and praying that she would say yes.

"Will you marry me?"
