Steve awoke to his wife straddling him.

"Hey beautiful." He said running his hand up and down her thighs. She squirmed a little in his lap letting out a small moan.

"I know today is not a great day for you." She said leaning down to kiss him. "So I'll take the kids to my grandparent's house so you can have the house to yourself." Steve smiled up at her.

"I love you."

"I know." He started laughing.

"Shhhh you're going to wake the kids." She said playfully slapping his arm.

"Well I should probably get ready for work." He said lifting her off him.

"Aww, we can't have a little fun?"

"No sorry. New recruits at SHIELD. They need to be broken in."


"Mr. Rogers." Director Coulson said "I know today is a difficult day for you. It's a difficult day for all of us. So take the rest of the day off. Go home to your wife." Steve frowned.

"I'm swamped here and-"

"Consider it an order Captain."

"Yes sir." Steve said shaking the director's hand. Steve finished up his paperwork and got ready to leave.

"I'm leaving sir." Steve said to Coulson who was standing outside his office. Coulson nodded and left. Steve took the elevator down to the parking garage. Most days he takes his bike, but today he decided to drive Natasha's Corvette. It doesn't get used much anymore except for the occasional rain that they got. He drove down the highway passing his exit. He couldn't go home. Not yet at least. He had to go see someone first. He pulled into the driveway of the cemetery. A hundred times he's been here, but every time feels like the day they buried her. Tears fell from his eyes as he got closer to the monument. He tried to blink the tears from his eyes with little luck. He arrived at the monument, and like he did every time he was here he read it.

Here lies Sam Wilson. Died May 5th 2018

Here lies Virginia 'Pepper' Pots. Died May 7th 2018

Here lies Anthony Stark. Died May 7th 2018

Here lies James 'Bucky' Barns. Died May 8th 2018

Here lies Natasha Romanoff-Rogers. Died May 9th 2018

This monument stands as a testament to these heroes who sacrificed themselves to save the world.

Steve fell to his knees tears streaming down his cheeks. He ran his fingers over Natasha's name over and over. Her name plate was more worn than the rest. He was there for hours just tracing her name with his finger. Over and over, Natasha Romanoff-Rogers, He thought about their entire lives together. From the first time they met on the helicarrier, they day they got married, every picnic they had, every movie they fell asleep on the coach to. Every moment they spent together.

"I'll be right back" She said giving him a quick kiss then running off into battle. That was the last time he saw Natasha alive. He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. His phone started ringing and he let it go to voicemail.

"Natasha my love." He said kissing his hand and placing the kiss on her gravestone. "There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of you. You were my best friend. You were my partner. For better or for worse. Til death did us part. I love you so much Natasha."


AN That's all folks. Sorry for the emotional ending I thought it to be appropriate though. May 2018 was chosen because of Infinity War. Dates were kinda random.
