Steve was a nervous mess. He looked the ring over, making sure it was perfect before placing it back in it's box. He and Katie had been living together since she was 18, shes 19 now and he was ready to ask the big one. But what if she wasn't ready? Suddenly he heard her footsteps coming up the hall, he quickly put the box away in his pocket. Katie smiled as she opened the door. "Ready to go babe?" Steve smiled, walking over to her. "Of corse." He closed there bedroom door, leading her out.
He lead her thru central park, holding her hand. She smiled, looking around and Steve couldn't help but admire how the sun glittered off her red curls. "I can't believe it's been nearly four years." Steve smiled. "I know. Feels like yesterday we just met." Katie smirked. "Sneaking off, scaring dad." Steve chuckled. "Your a troublemaker." "And you love that." Steve smiled, stopping them. "Yeah. I really do." He took a moment, taking her in. her green eyes, beautiful red hair. She raised an eyebrow. "Take a picture babe, it'll last longer." Steve chuckled nervously. "Right..look..I have something to say." She nodded, starting to look nervous. He sighed. "Before you I was lost in this world. I didn't know anything or anyone. I was more alone then I ever was. But the moment I met you you change my life. You brought me to life. I live with you." He got down on to one knee, smiling when he heard the little gasp of air from Katie. He gently took her hand in his, getting the ring out, opening it. "I want to continue living with you and for you for the rest of my life. Katie Stark, will you marry me?" He didn't dare look around but he could sense there was a crowd. Katie smiled, kneeling down, crashing her lips to his. Steve smiled, wrapping his arms around her. She pulled back with a grin. "That's a yes."
TJ and Quinn were running around the tower playing super heroes while Clint and Gage were playing bad guys against them. Tony was walking into the living room, nearly getting run over by his kids. "Whoa, hey!" TJ and Quinn both stopped, looking up, expecting to get in trouble. He sighed. "What have we said about running?" Suddenly JARVIS spoke. "Sir, Katie and Captain Rodgers are at the door." Quinn and TJ smiled, running for the door. "I wanna open it!" Quinn yelled. " No, I wanna open it!" Tony shook his head. Gage and Clint came out of there hiding spaces. Tony looked over at them with a smirk. "I suddenly have four kids." Gage chuckled, now sitting on the couch. Clint playfully punched Tony as he went past him. "Funny." Kim came down the stairs with a smile. "I heard Katie is here." She looked, seeing TJ and Quinn struggling to open the door, fighting over it more then opening it. She rolled her eyes, walking over, shushing them away. "Stop, lets get your sister in here." Kim opened the door to see Katie and Steve there. She smiled. "Sweetie, its so good to see you." Katie quickly hugged her mother. "Oh I miss you guys so much! We have something to tell you!" Kim smiled, letting her in. "Then come in."
Steve followed. Kim smiled. "Hello Steve." He nodded. "Hello ." Quinn went to her sister, hugging her. "Big sister! Katie smiled, hugging her. "Hey princess." TJ went to her to but he was scared to just hug her. Standing back. Katie smiled, bringing him in for a hug. "You to little man." TJ smiled as he hugged his older sister.
Once all the greeting and hugs were done Katie and Steve sat in the living room,. Tony smiled. "So whats the big news?" Katie smiled, holding Steve's hand. "Were getting married." Kim smiled. "Oh this is wonderful!" Tony smiled, chuckling. "Well...I'd say welcome to the family Steve but you've been a part of this family for a while already." Steve chuckled. "Thank you for the thought."
Kim smiled. "I think I'll make a nice dinner to celebrate. I'm gonna go get started. It'll take a few hours for the turkey to cook." Katie laughed. 'Mom, you don't have to make a turkey." She said, getting up, following her to help. Clint nudged TJ. "Hey, you still have some training." TJ nodded, going with Clint to the training room. Tony smiled, standing, holding his hand out to Steve. "Well. Congratulations Captain Rodgers." Steve smiled. "Thank you ." Gage looked over at Quinn who was starting to look bored but she wasn't sure to leave the room or find something else. He knelled down to her. "Wanna watch a movie?" She smiled, nodding. He smiled, nudging her toward the TV. "Go pick one." She ran over to the TV, turning it on, using the touch screen TV to scroll thru the many movies. Steve shook his head, watching it. "Wow...I remember when my TV worked and I was happy." Tony chuckled. "Well it looks like there having girl time, why don't we stay in here and watch the movie with them." Steve nodded. "Sounds good. I still have a lot to catch up on." He pulled out his little notebook, showing it. Gage shook his head, taking it, looking in it. "Dude, Ghostbusters isn't in here." Steve raised an eyebrow. "Should it be." Gage got a nearby pen, writing it in, giving it back. "It is now." Steve smiled. "Thanks. I'll make sure to check it out."
A half hour later, Steve, Gage, Tony and Quinn sat on he couch, all struggling not to cry, Watching Up. Quinn had her eyes glued to the screen, sniffling. Tony, Steve and Gage all were good at hiding there emotions. Kim looked in before seeing what was on the TV then back at the couch before going back in the kitchen with a knowing smile. In the training room TJ was throwing punches and kicking like a pro as Clint guided him. He was talented at combat, that was obvious. He knew S.H.I.E.L.D one day would be more then happy to have him.
Kim came back in the living room, which now had spongbob on. She smiled. "If your all done loafing on the couch, dinner is ready." Tony chuckled, getting up. Steve got up, walking into the kitchen quickly. Gage got up, helping Quinn off the couch. Quinn smiled, holding his hand, starting to lead him into the kitchen. Kim smiled as she poured some gravy on the turkey. "JARVIS, can you tell Clint and TJ dinner is ready?" "Yes mam." During there workout, JARVIS spoke in the training room. "Sirs,Mrs. Stark would like you in the kitchen for dinner. " Clint smiled, TJ kept going. "TJ, at ease." TJ stopped, looking up, hands at his sides. "Com'on, dinner's ready." TJ smiled, running out of the training room. Clint wasn't gonna yell at him again not to run in the tower as he followed behind.
TJ ran into the kitchen, nearly into his mom who looked down at him with a soft glare. "TJ, no running." TJ pouted. "I'm sorry mommy.." She sighed. "Go sit down." He nodded, going to sit next to Quinn who was drawing on a napkin, a repulser hand. Steve shook his head, seeing the drawing. "Wow, shes really smart." Quinn looked up at Steve. "Well no duh." Tony almost spit out his water he was drinking, struggling not to laugh. Katie laughed. Kim smiled, trying not to laugh, "Quinn, don't be rude." Quinn looked t her mother. "But I wasn't. I was just stating the obviousness of his statement." Kim and Gage both rolled there eyes. Gage spoke first, putting a plate full of food in front of her. "Eat princess." Kim put a plate in front of TJ. "Here you go sweetie." TJ started digging in quickly. Soon plates of food were passed to everyone. Even with everyone eating, it was anything but silent as Tony and Steve went on a debate. Past Vs Future. It was very entertaining.
