Guys I'm going to Nashville for St. Patty's Day weekend! I can't wait!

Chapter 21-

After the Avengers made it back from their mission, Emerson met them at the Avengers Tower to begin her self defense training. Carrying a basket of freshly baked muffins, of various flavors she walked up to Tony's lab where she found Tony, Clint, Natasha, Bruce and an Asian women, she had yet to meet.

"Clint why are you in a machine?" Emerson asked setting the basket down on the desk.

"She's creating tissue." Bruce Banner said his eyes lit up with excitement. "It is amazing."

"If you brought him to my lab, the regeneration cradle could do this in twenty minutes." Dr. Cho said looking over at Bruce.

"Regeneration cradle?" Emerson asked, her eyebrow raised in confusion. "Don't try to explain it, it will go right over my head. I'm Emerson."

"Dr. Helen Cho." She said shaking Emerson's hand. "So you are the one that the Captain is marrying?"

Nodding her head as a smile grew on her face. "That would be me. I'm also the personal baker. Want a muffin?"

"Yes!" Tony and Clint exclaimed before digging into the basket.

Shaking her head as Steve walked into the room. "No I am fine. Thank you though Emerson. I hope to see you soon."

"If you come to the party on Saturday you will." Tony said smirking over at the doctor.

"Unlike you, I don't have a lot of time for parties." Helen said before hesitantly asking. "Will Thor be there?"

Emerson snorted as Steve pulled her out of the lab. His other hand holding two muffins. Walking into the training room, Steve threw out the muffin wrappers in the trash before turning towards Emerson. "Hi."

"Hi." Emerson replied wrapping her arms around Steve's neck. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Steve said pulling her in closer. "Where is Liam?"

Looking at the clock in the corner of the room. "Well its 2:30 so he is getting picked up by Grandpa Rhodes who is taking him to his basketball practice."

"Is he spending the night with Grandma and Grandpa Rhodes?" Steve asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"Well it is Friday, so there would be no reason why he wouldn't be able too." Emerson said her voice dropping as she begun to lean into Steve. "Then we could have the weekend all to ourselves. I wonder what we could do."

"I think I have some ideas." Steve said pulling her into a kiss.

Walking into the the training facility, Tony stopped turned around in a circle and sighed. "Well this is just disturbing."

Pulling away from the kiss, Emerson looked up at Steve. "Why do we keep getting interrupted?"

"Because we apparently have two seven year olds." Steve sighed as he pulled away from Emerson. Turning towards Tony he smiled. "So what brings you down here?"

"I thought we were teaching Emerson here how to fight." The billionaire asked walking closer to the couple. "I mean that is why you texted us at 3 o'clock in the morning. So your future wife can protect herself if something were to go wrong when you weren't around."

Nodding his head, Steve sighed. "Yes that is true. But today I just wanted to see what Em could do. Then we would work on build those strengths better. And we haven't have any quality time alone, for a very long time."

"Yeah the last time we have alone time we made a bab.." Emerson said covering her mouth to stop herself. Herself and Steve both agreed not to tell anyone on the team about her being pregnant. Emerson wanted to learn how to fight and she knew the team of superheros wouldn't want to push her so hard if they knew about the baby.

Stopping in his tracks. Tony turned towards Emerson. "Are you saying your pregnant? That you created a baby with who I thought was the 90 year old virgin?"

"He's definitely not a virgin anymore. Hasn't been for about a year now." Emerson said smirking over at the blushing blond male.

"Oh this is too much to handle." Tony said shaking his head. "We should run tests on you to see if the baby has the serum in his or her blood. Do you know what your having yet?"

"No. But tests might be a good idea." Emerson said feeling Steve's eyes burn into her. "The doctor did say that the fetus is bigger then most are at this stage."

Steve grabbed Emerson's hand and begun pulling her out of the training facility and to the elevator. "Stark is Dr. Cho still here?"

"Yes she most certainly is. And Banner will want to take a look as well." Stark said entering the elevator with the couple. "Doesn't hurt to get multiple opinions right?"

"No it does not." Steve said looking over at Emerson. "I thought you said the doctor's visit went fine."

"It did." Emerson said resting her hands on her hips. "The baby and myself are completely healthy. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about for now, but maybe later in the pregnancy closer to the due date. Which is months away."

"How can you be so calm about this?" Steve asked resting his arm on the wall of the elevator.

A light smile grew on her face as she rested her hand on Steve's cheek. "Because this isn't my first pregnancy. And pregnancy is always different, but you learn to trust the doctors. Because if you don't, everything will be harder and much worse."

Putting his hand on top of her own, Steve sighed. "I guess I'll have to follow someone else's lead then."
"Well that will be fun to watch." Tony said as the elevator doors opened. "Hopefully it will be easier to watch then what I just witnessed."

Following Tony into the lab where Bruce and Helen were located, Emerson jumped on a clear table. "Hey docs can you give me a superhero check up? Steve and Tony are thinking that there is something wrong with the baby I'm carrying. Even though my own doctor told me everything is fine for now."

"Yeah its the whole for now part is what we don't like." Steve said crossing him arms staring at his fiancee.

"Pregnant before marriage? Really?" Helen asked putting on a pair of gloves.

"Yep. Its kinda my thing." Emerson said giving Helen a look. "Really hate the whole no children out of wed lock rule society has."

"Sorry I didn't mean to offend. If you could just lift up your shirt." Helen said holding a really long needle.

Looking at the needle and back at Helen over to Bruce. "Um why the long needle?"

"We need to see if the serum is in the baby's blood stream." Bruce said taking off his glasses and looks over at Emerson. "It will not hurt you or the baby."

Taking a deep breath Emerson lifted her shirt up for her stomach to be exposed. "Do it before I change my mind."

After Dr Helen got the sample they needed to run tests, Emerson and Steve went back down to the training facility. Steve had Emerson run the mile as fast as she could on the treadmill, do punches on the punching back, even fought himself in the boxing ring. Where lets face it, she didn't do so hot. No matter how soft Steve was going on her.

"Well we know you can run and punch." Steve said wiping the sweat off his forehead. "But we need to work on your fighting."

Nodding her head, Emerson retightened her pony tail. "Yes we do. But can we take a break? Me and the baby are hungry."

"Of course. Maybe Dr Cho has the results." Steve said wrapping his arm around Emerson's shoulder. "What do you want to eat?"

The entire elevator ride up to the communal floor, where Steve told Helen to meet them, Emerson changed her mind 5 times on what she wanted to eat. At first she wanted Hawaiian pizza. But then she went to wanting a cheese burger to a freshly cut salad with a strawberry vinaigrette dressing to spicy chicken tacos to finally deciding on eggs and bacon.

"You take a seat, I'll start cooking." Steve said washing his hands. "Do you want anything to eat while you are waiting? An apple maybe?"

Eyes lighting up, Emerson nodded her head excessively. "Yes."

Pulling an apple from the bowl in front of him, he tossed it over to Emerson. "There you go babe."

"You are a glorious glorious man." Emerson said taking a bite of the apple.

Walking into the communal floor. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Bruce said taking a seat next to Emerson.

Shaking her head. "Nope as long as Steve keeps cooking, you aren't interrupting anything. Where's Dr. Cho?"

Chuckling softly. "She thinks you hate her."

"I wouldn't go that far. I just think she is a know it all doctor, who had never had anything horrible happen to her." Emerson said shrugging her shoulders. "But I wouldn't say I hate her. Dislike yes, hate no."

"Well that is why I am going to tell you the test results." Bruce said putting his glasses on to read the test results.

"So are we having a super soldier baby? Or not?" Steve asked looking over at the two.

"The fetus, baby, does have the same blood type as Steve and is growing a week or two faster then most babies do in the womb. So for as far as we know we believe so. You Emerson are carrying a super soldier."
