Chapter 47 Dreams do come true
March
" I shall be your midwife." Thor told Darcy as he worked her hair into a bridal up do, she smiled nervously at him through the mirror.
" You know how to deliver babies?" She asked trying to keep her mind off the up coming ceremony she had a whole flock of butterfly's dancing in her stomach. Thor stopped working the curling iron to look over at her with raised eyebrow
" Of course, I have delivered many a babe healthy and well." He went back to shaping the curls in her up do he had glanced at the picture she showed him and had told her he could do it, damn if he didn't do the victory rolls justice.
" He is a fertility God Darce if anyone would be a good midwife it would be Thor." Mary said bring Darcy's mind back to Thor's claim of being her midwife, then she noticed the garment bag in her twins hands with her wedding dress in it. Darcy felt like she was going to hyperventilate, this was really happening.
" True, okay big guy but I'm not even six weeks a long." She told him as he hair sprayed her up do and turned off the curling iron. The zipper to the garment bag had her turning to see her sister lifting her wedding dress out, a beautiful cream colored vintage creation that she was sure Pepper had specially designed for her. Darcy shakily stood and handed her robe to Thor as she ran a hand down the front of her cream colored lengeire complete with , garters and silk Cuban stockings. Stepping into her dress Darcy choked up as her sister zipped her in. It was perfect from its sweetheart neckline to its cap sleeves and delicate train trimmed in lace Mary slid the pin Steve had given Darcy to the left side of her dresses neckline.
" You look so beautiful Darcy." Her twin said as she smoothed down the back of her dress, and Darcy smiled at her twins reflection in the mirror dressed in cranberry red taffeta dress , Thor in his matching man of honor cranberry suit. He had insisted if all the bridesmaid wore cranberry he would too and damn if it didn't look good with his blonde hair. He came over with her veil and the pearl combs he was going to use to attach it. She could hear her mother and sisters loudly getting dressed in the next room. she loved them but they added to the bedlam effect she was glad it was only Mary and Thor getting her dressed Thor slid the combs in place then kissed her cheek.
"You look lovely bestie." He whispered a soft knock had Mary going over to open the door and pops came in a smile on his face
" Oh Darcy you look so beautiful." Then he burst into tears both Thor and Mary hurried to clam him down
Steve adjusted his dress uniform, it was the modern version but he wanted to look his best for today. Bucky stood not far to the side in his own dress greens long brown hair in a neat ponytail.
"You look nervous Punk." He said making sure to put a brown leather glove over his metal hand. Steve nodded adjusting his tie again for what felt like the tenth time
"I am Jerk never thought this day would come. Glad your here for it." Steve smiled at his oldest and dearest friend who grinned back.A knock sounded as Tony strolled in with his hair slicked back immaculate in his gray suite.
" Ready Capsical? " He asked then tossed a box at Steve, who caught it easily
" Yes, what is this ." he held up the little wood box that looked like a tiny ornate jewel box Tony turned so his back was to him
" My Father had that saved for you it was in your trunk he put it in our family safe, I had it cleaned and the stones replaced." Tony said back still to him as Steve opened the box inside was his mothers engagement ring a simple gold band with an oval emerald in the center with tiny leaves flanking the stone each had tiny diamonds set in each little leaf. Steve felt his heart squeeze he thought this was lost but of course Howard had saved it and Tony had it prepared for Darcy. Steve hugged tony from behind hard giving him a tight squeeze
" Thank you Tony. This means so much." Tony shifted obviously uncomfortable
" Yeah yeah it wasn't me my old man saved it." He bit out Steve had yet to let him go and he nodded giving Tony one more quick squeeze.
" He did, but you Tony had it restored for Darce. thank you I'm glad your here for today Tony your one of my dearest friends never thought a guy like me from Brooklyn would ever have this good a life a family." He patted Tony's shoulder being sure to let Tony settle a bit he was uncustom to showing his feelings pushing Tony anymore would have him lashing out .
" Alright lets head out I sit here anymore I'm just going to let my nerves get the better of me." Steve said throwing an arm over bucky the other over Tony. Heading out to the common room Steve shook his head. Tony and Pepper really went all out the whole room was decorated in red white and blue with silver stars he thought it would look garish, over the top. But Pepper had managed to make the whole room look elegant. They were getting married outside Tony had an arch set up on the huge balcony the arch was loaded down with roses white and red and if he knew his flowers correctly bluebells the aisle path way had chairs on either side and a red runner with white rose petals blue bells and silver glitter stars scattered about. He stood at the alter as Pepper shooed the other avengers and Darcy's family to there seats followed by Phil who came to stand with him , Bucky and Tony. Finally Agent Hill and former Detector Fury entered the balcony and sat in the back. The music started and Jane stepped out in her bridesmaid dress a full circle dress in a rich cranberry, followed by Mary who looked far more stunning than Jane he felt a little bad but oh well. Next came Thor in a cranberry suite finally Darcy stepped out with her tipsy father and his breathe caught in his throat she looked like an angel gently gliding towards him. Taking her hand in his he barely registered the persist as he rambled on. As he spoke his vows he could feel tears fall freely down his face, He didn't care, Darcy was teary herself as she said hers. Sliding his mothers ring onto her red manicured finger brought it all home as the priest finally said
" You may kiss your bride." Steve kissed Darcy with every ounce of love and passion he had for her.
Darcy smiled as Steve spun her out on the dance floor they're song let me be your sweetheart played , He drew her back pressing a kiss just under her eye
" I love you Darcy Rogers." he whispered and Darcy laughed happily she loved that she was now his wife she stroked his cheek softly
" And I love you Steve Rogers, I think I always have ." The smile she was rewarded with gave Darcy a sense of peace.
