So Im going to change the rating for this chapter and a future chapter, anyway... Just being cautious.

All she saw at first was darkness... But after blinking a few times, her vision started to come back to her. She was in a white room, her body felt numb; probably from the pain killers. She looked around, trying to find a nurse or doctor. As she looked to her right, her eyes landed on Steve.

He had his chair right next to the bed, his hands interlocked with hers; reading a book. He was wearing his uniform but had long forgotten the jacket and tie.

Amelia studied his face closely, like she hadn't seen it for years. He looked exhausted, bags under his eyes and he was starting to have a makeshift beard. Steve looked like a cave man, but she couldn't help but love him.

Yes, you heard correctly. Amelia loved Steve, she wasn't going to deny that fact or try to tell you the exact moment she had figured it out... Because she can't. Ever since she first met that scrawny kid from Brooklyn she found herself falling more in love with him with each day that passed.

Sighing, the doctor lightly squeezed Steve's hand. "Hey, Captain..."

Steve looked up, shocked by the sudden noise then smiled. He put the book down and kissed her hand, a relieved sigh escaping him. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay," She said.

"You really scared me there, Amy..." He looked exhausted as he carefully played with her fingers. "Thought I was going to lose you."

Amelia laughed which turned into a groan, but she smiled up at Steve. "It's going to be harder than that to get rid of me, Captain."

Steve didn't reply, he only stared at her with worried eyes. It was like he was having a conflict within himself. But after a moment, the soldier stood up and sat down on the bed; helping Amelia into a sitting position.

"Steve, what's wrong?" Amelia cupped his face with her free hand. "You know you can tell me anything."

"I've been rejected by woman countless times in my life... And it's heart shattering, but that's the risk for love." His eyes never left Amelia's, he needed to get this all out; no matter what happens... Steve needed to tell this beautiful woman how he felt about her. "Amy, I'm not only risking my heart right now... I'm risking my whole life because that's what I want to give you, my whole life."

Tears started to form in her eyes, but she kept them at bay. "Steve, you know that I can't-"

"Amy, I want to share the rest of my life with you." He cut her off, his words making her gasp. Steve leaned forward, taking Amelia's other hand in his and squeezed tightly. "I want to wake up in the mornings, knowing that your mine and fall asleep with you next to me... I want to have a house and kids... I want to have a life with you! Amy... I have fallen so deeply in love with you that there are no words on this earth that could describe how much I love you."

"Steve," She cried, smiling up at him. "I love you."

The super soldier grinned, closing the space between the two. He kissed her gently, not wanting to upset her injuries. Placing his hands at her lower back, Steve pressed her closer to him. Amelia sighed as Steve's chest was being pressed to hers; she ran her hand through his hair and eventually rested at his neck.

Steve's hands ran up her side, exploring her body, but then he pulled away. He didn't go far, but they were both breathless. Steve met Amelia's eyes with confidence. "Marry me..."

"Yes," She laughed, placing a light kiss on his mouth.

A cough at the door broke the couple apart, turning to look who had interrupted them, only to see that the remaining Howling Commandos were in the doorway.

"Thought we would check up on Steve!" Bucky grinned, a mischievous look in his eyes. "But it's clear that he is being taken care of!"

Steve grabbed his book from the nightstand and threw it at his best friend. "Nobody asked you!"

Bucky easily dodged the book and chuckled. "Fine, I'm not going to give you that special velvet box you asked me to get."

"Hand it over!" The super soldier stalked over to Bucky, holding out his hand.

"Only if you say; please." Bucky smirked, he always loved pushing Steve's buttons.

Steve glared, taking a step forward. "Please."

The Howling Commandos laughed and Bucky gave Steve the blue velvet box. It look like he was about to say something, but Steve slammed the door in their faces and walked back to next Amelin on the bed.

Raising an eyebrow, she watched in amusement. "What was that all about?"

"I told Bucky to buy me something..." He sighed, meeting her eyes as he opened the box. "I've been planning this for sometime now and the ring just got finished."

"How long was I out?"

"About a week and a half." Steve smiled, taking Amelia's left hand in his. "Bucky actually chose the ring out and helped pay for it..."

Finally looking down, the doctor gasped. The ring was platinum with a diamond that was the size of an average pearl, but instead of smaller diamonds on either side? Beautiful carvings.

Amelia looked up and met Steve's eyes, and grinned. "You always seem to surprise me, Captain."

"I'm glad." He laughed, slipping the ring on her ring finger. "Means you'll never get bored."

"Of you?" Amelia chuckled, wrapping her arms around Steve's neck and pulled him closer. "I don't think that's even possible... I'm gonna have to thank Bucky later though, it was amazing of him to do this for you."

Steve grinned and brought his lips to hers; kissing her sweetly this time. He ran his hands up her back and rested them just under her shoulder blades, pressing her closer to him as they kissed.

Once again, the couple was interrupted... But this time by a swift knock.

Sighing, Steve answered, but didn't move a muscle away from Amelia. "Come in..."

The door opened and revealed a certain british woman wearing bright red lipstick. Immediately, Amelia grinned, releasing Steve and waved the woman over. Peggy rolled her eyes with a grin, but did as her Godmother asked of her; she walked over and gave the woman a hug.

"I see your healing nicely," She laughed, giving Steve a look.

The doctor laugh, pulling away to get a look at Peggy. "I wouldn't know, I've been in a coma for the past week and a half. What did I miss?"

Peggy held up a folder, looking at Steve. "That's actually why I'm here... Captain, there's a new mission."

Steve looked at her confused, then grabbed the folder and opened the contents; reading them closely. Then he met Amelia's eyes. "They have located Doctor Zola,"

"Let's get going then." She started to get up, but was pushed down by Steve and Peggy. The doctor gave them a disbelieving look. "You want me to stay behind..."

"You just woke up from a coma." Peggy argued, standing up straight. "We need to make sure you're fully capable to go on a field mission, until then? You stay put."

Scoffing, the doctor looked towards her now fiancee, but he wouldn't meet her eyes. Amelia glared at them. "No! I am not staying here-"

"Amy," Steve cut her off with pleading eyes. "Please? I'll be back before you know it."

They both stared at one another for a long moment, before Amelia folded her arms in a sigh and nodded. "Fine... But I am not staying in this bed for another second."

Peggy laughed and started to pull out the IV. "I'll go get you something better to wear."

"Thank you, Peggy." Amelia smiled, then turned to Steve.

Waiting until the agent closed the door, Steve helped his fiancee up and hugged her close to him; lifting her off the ground so he wouldn't have to bend over.

"I love it when you hug me like this," She sighed, securing her hold on his neck even more and burying her face in his shoulder. "I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

Amelia looked up at Steve and placed a hand on either side of his face. "For scaring you..."

Smiling, he leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "You made up for it by agreeing to marry me."

"I'm glad."

Peggy returned ten minutes later with on of her baby blue dress, new undergarments and matching shoes. Helping Amelia with her make up quickly while Steve had to put his tie and jacket back on, the three of them walked to the pub where the Howling Commandos were most likely waiting for Steve.
They got there and the soldiers were already singing happy, loud songs. But when Bucky spotted the three of them entered, he shushed his comrades.

"So, Captain America! I do believe we need an introduction of this beautiful lady that you're holding hands with!" Steve's best friend smirked at Amelia, already knowing what was going to happen.

Dugan looked between them, confused. "What do you mean? It's just Amy!"
Grinning from ear to ear, the super soldier shook his head and raised his fiancee's left hand to show it to the Howling Commandos. "She's no longer 'just Amy', Dum Dum... She's the future Mrs. Captain America."

They all cheered, but stopped when they saw James standing with a smirk and his bear in hand. He cleared his throat, trying to be dramatic. "That's not going to work out?"

"What do you mean?" Steve looked confused and somewhat scared that the twin would reject their engagement.

"Because!" He took a long drink of his beer, finishing it totally, then slamming it on the table. "We're Canadian!"

They all looked at James for a silent moment, then bursted into laughter.

"Who knew Captain America would be marrying a Canadian!" Dugan held his stomach in laughter.

The night had been filled with laughter and smiles, but somewhere during that Amelia had dragged Bucky away from the loud group.

"Amy! Are you already trying to have an affair with me!" He faked a gasp, pretending to look around. "I thought you would at least you second year of marriage!"

Amelia slugged his arm, but then brought him into a hug. "Steve told me what you did... You didn't have to."

Laughing, the soldier hugged her back. "I wanted to, he's my best friend! He didn't have enough money or enough taste to choose a ring, think of it as an early wedding present."

"Thank you," She grinned, pulling away. "You know, I haven't told you this, but... I love you, Bucky."

"Already confessing your feelings too!" He gasped again. "What a day it is to be alive!"

Rolling her eyes, the doctor sighed; scrunching up her nose. "In fact, I'm kind of jealous of you... You know Steve better than anyone else here, I envy you."

Bucky became serious as he looked over at his best friend and nodded. "Yeah... He's a great guy, I only want what's best for him and that's you."

Smiling at each other, the two walked back to the group. Steve gave her an raised eyebrow, but she waved him off.

Soon the day had turned into night and suddenly the Howling Commandos had to pack up for their next mission. They all walked their separate ways, except Steve and Amelia. They walked towards Steve's bunker.

As soon as they got there, Amy helped Steve shave and packed; finishing the chores faster together. And when they were done, Steve threw the duffel bag at the door, then wrapped his arms around Amelia's waist.

"I don't want to go," He pulled her to his chest.

Running her hands threw his hair, Amelia sighed. "I don't want you to go..."

Slowly, he kissed her, trying to savor that moment because neither one knew how long they would be apart for. Sighing against his lips, Amelia ran her hands down his chest and unzips his jacket; pushing it down his large biceps.

Pulling away to throw the jacket away, Steve kissed her more passionately now. He pulled her hair, giving him more access to her mouth; licking her bottom lip as though he was asking permission to enter her mouth.

Amelia groaned and let his tongue slip into her mouth while he's entered his... Their kissing becoming more heated now, exploring each other's mouth. While Steve dug his fingers into Amelia's waist, she got rid of his tie and now was frantically unbuttoning his shirt. He pulled away once more to get of that shirt, then pulled off his t-shirt underneath to save time.

Taking labored breaths, Amelia studied Steve up and down; appreciating how chiseled he was. Then she reached behind her, pulling down the zipper to her dress and suddenly she was only in her white lace slip. Their eyes met, both cloud with the lust for each other. And then they were kissing one another again.

Groaning when she bit his lip, Steve lifted the doctor off the ground and wrapped her legs around his waist. Steve had her thighs in a firm grip as he started to kiss down her neck. Arching her back into his kisses, the super soldier groaned with pleasure as their hips grinded onto each others.

In the heat of his kissing, Steve had walked towards the bed and laid Amelia down.

"Steve..." She sighed, running her hand threw his hair.

The Captain pulled away only a few centimeters, his breath hot against her skin. "Maybe we should stop..."

Steve wasn't meeting her eyes, so she cupped his face and made him look at her. Amelia smiled at him, tracing his features with her fingers lightly. "If that's what you want..."

"You're not mad?" He asked, looking guilty.

"Steve, I'm not marrying you for sex." She laughed, caressing his neck and shoulder. "I love you and I will respect you... Now, let's go to bed."

Standing up, the super soldier walked towards his forgotten t-shirt and tossed it to his finacee. "Here, you can sleep in that."

Blushing slightly, Amelia excused herself to the bathroom to change. When she came back out, she saw Steve already in his bed with his back turned. The doctor couldn't help but smile and climbed into the bed with him.

Feeling her next to him, Steve laid on his back and grinned at his fiancee. "I like my clothes on you.."

"Well, I don't have a proper nightie." She rolled her eyes, laying her head on Steve's chest. "But, you t-shirt is so big it might as well be."

Wrapping his arm around her waist, he kissed her forehead. "I love you..."

"I love you too."

SO? How do you think? Do you love it?
