Chapter 17

It's been 3 months since my kidnapping and I was having nightmares and flashbacks. Bruce and Tony said they think it was PTSD and suggested that I see a doctor. At first I didn't want to because I wanted to prove to everyone that I was strong. Steve finally talked to me and told me that I didn't have to prove nothing to anybody and that he would be strong enough for the both of us. So I went and I started going to therapy twice a week and I must admit it was helping. I told them that I didn't want to take any medicine so that's why they said twice a week. It was amazing at the amount of support I received from Steve's fans the letters and flowers just made me feel better. Steve asked if we should postpone the wedding I told him no I was not waiting another 6 months to become Mrs. Steve Rogers and he smiled and said ok but if I got to overwhelmed then we could just elope. I told him that we have everything planned out and all thats left is making sure out guess have RSVP'd and we had a few more engagement parties to go to. Tomorrow we would be meeting with the photographer to take pictures for our wedding announcement to be placed in this week's newspaper. We have one more dress fitting to make sure all of our dresses fit perfectly. In the 5 weeks that I was gone I lost weight that I didn't need to and I lost a little bit more weight from all the stress of planning the wedding. Since I didn't have to many more wedding details left hopefully I would gain some more of that weight back soon. Between me and Steve we had a total of 8 bachelor and bachelorette parties and out final engagement party was tonight at Standard Hotel, Le Bain.

After the ladies and I were leaving I saw Steve talking to Tasha about something before he came and kissed me and told me he would see me later at our engagement party. When we got to the limo I asked Tasha what that was about and she looked at me and said "I'm not supposed to tell you that you will have a bodyguard with you anytime you aren't with Steve." "So is it supposed to be you are someone else?" She looked and said you see the guy right there with the camera getting into the black SUV?" I nodded yes "that guy is your bodyguard but whatever you do don't tell Steve that I told you he just wants to make sure you are safe and protected." I told her I wouldn't say anything and I thought it was sweet that he was so concerned about me and that made me love him that much more. After we tried on our dresses and made sure we could fit everything we left to go to Lingerie on Lex to do some shopping. I didn't know what to look for or what I would need for my future husband so the ladies really came in handy. They told me to not worry about the more daring things since it was to be both of our first times. They told me to pick things that I would be comfortable in so we started with the different colors that I would like and then we looked at the different styles that I liked as well. After being in the store for 2 hours we realized that the engagement party would be starting soon so we paid for everything an left. Thank God my bodyguard stayed outside the entire time we were in the store.

When we arrived at the hotel the press was in full swing and once we stepped out the started snapping pictures left and right firing off questions and we answered some of them and then we went on in for the party. When we walked in I was told congratulations again over and over. Steve walked up to me and kissed me and handed me a glass of orange juice. Some people tried to be funny and asked me was I pregnant and I told them they knew I was to young to drink. They also knew that I would be 21 in just a few weeks. We had fun with our family and friends and we knew that when it came time to exchange vows we would be ready to take on whatever challenges came our way. We knew that we wanted a big family and we wanted to start as soon as possible.

Today is September 13 my 21st birthday. I have less then a week until my wedding and I cannot wait. I only have one more bachelorette party to attend and that is tomorrow. As I was getting ready Angela came into my room and told me happy birthday and she sat on my bed while I was figuring out what to wear. She looked at me and said "are you sure you don't want to do anything special for your birthday?" I told her that I was considering my wedding a late birthday present. When I was dressed she had her lips poked out and said "you should do something special for your birthday I mean you are 21 who wouldn't want to go out and party on their 21st birthday?" "Nice try Angela you know you are more then welcome to go out tonight we don't have any more last minute wedding details and tomorrow is my last bachelorette party." She looked a little sad but I told her lets go get some breakfast right before I completed my sentence I heard the elevator stop on my floor so I walked into the living room and saw Steve walking towards me with a big teddy bear that had a heart on it with the words I Love You on it and on the teddy bears wrist was a beautiful watch and bracelet set and in his other handy was some beautiful pink roses. I took the items from him and gave him a big hug and kiss and told him thank you. He took my hand and we all went upstairs to the family floor to eat breakfast with our family. What I wasn't expecting was for the room to be covered with balloons and streamers and a banner that said Happy Birthday Bella. I told everyone thank you and then Steve walked me to the dining room and I was surprised to see the dining room table overflowing with presents and to the right of the table my mom was standing there. I was more happy to see her then I was the presents. I ran and gave her a hug and asked her when she got in and she told me a couple of hours ago. She told me that we were going shopping and I looked at her and said "mom I am all shopped out can't we do something else?" She smiled and said how about we go sight seeing and Steve can come with us. I looked at Steve and asked was he ok with that and he said that he was. So after we ate breakfast we left.

We spent the entire day sight seeing and we had lunch at a cafe and by the time 6 o'clock came around I told my mom I was ready to go home and crash. She smiled at me and said one more place ok. I told her this is the last place. After we left from there we headed home and when we got to the family floor all of the lights were off which was very unusual since we kept them on. 3 seconds later I found out why when everyone jumped up and said surprise as the lights came on. I looked to my mom, Steve and Angela realizing I had been had. I must admit uncle Tony could organize a party in no time. Steve reached into his pocket and pulled out a key and handed it to me. I asked him what the key was for and he walked over to the tabled that had more gifts on it and showed me a picture of a condo and told me that it was ours. I looked at him and said "but I thought you wanted to be close to the team in case of emergency. " He smiled and said that "this is ours whenever we want to get away from our family for a while and if when we start a family we would need somewhere to raise them." I smiled and gave him a huge hug and kiss and he laughed at me and then said "hold on I have something else for you." He pulled two more keys out of his other pocket and before I could ask he picked the picture of our condo up and showed me two more pictures. The first one was of blue prints for a house in Malibu and said this was of our house that is being built right now not to far from my uncle Tony's house and the second one was of a beautiful brown and white Yorkie that he had adopted for me. He told me that we were going to pick her up first thing in the morning. I don't know how I got to so lucky, but I was happy. As the party came to an end uncle Tony never to be one outdid brought me a newer model Bentley and it was all black and it was a beauty.

The next day we went and picked up my new puppy and Steve asked me what I wanted to name her and I told him that I will decide when I see her. When we got there she was so tiny and cute and she came right to me and tried to lick my face and I knew that I wanted to name her Angel because she is so sweet. Steve laughed and said "I think that will work." We took her to one of those doggy boutiques and got her some cute little outfits and a leashes and dog food and dog chew toys and a bed to sleep on and I got her a doggy bag and purse that I can carry her in. Steve just shook his head and said "why buy her a leash if you are going to carry her around in a bag?" I told him "because she is going to need it duh sweetie." He just laughed and said "what have I gotten myself into?" After that we went home and ate lunch with the family and Pepper and Tasha thought that Angel was the cutest dog they have ever seen and loved watching her play with Clint and growl at Bruce and Angela just fell in love with Angel. After a while me and the ladies decided to go ahead and get ready for my last and final bachelorette party and I really wanted to take Angel with me but Bruce told me that a dog can get overwhelmed just like an a human so the guys said that they would take good care of my baby for me. I kissed Steve and told him I would see him later. Angel whined and started to run after us and it was hilarious watching the guys jump and chase after a little dog we couldn't stop laughing.

After we were dressed we left with my bodyguard right behind us. I must admit that I was surprised with how much fun I had at my other bachelorette parities and I always learned something new. It seemed like the other ladies had the same type of gift ideas on their minds because I received more then enough lingerie to last for at least a year. Like Tasha and Alice said well we would never be bored. A lot of the times everyone wanted to know the same things, how long were we going to wait to start a family, how many kids we wanted, and things along that line and so on and so on. We played a few different games and after we ate dinner it was time to head home and I told everyone I would see them in about 5 more days at my wedding. They told me they couldn't wait to see my dress and see Steve in a tux. After a little more small talk we left. When we got home Steve was in my apartment waiting on me Angel was asleep on her bed and Steve was smiling at me and said "I don't think I will ever volunteer to watch he again anytime soon because she is a handful. After she tried following you on the elevator Bruce finally picked her up and she bit him, he almost hulked out on her. When we got him calmed down she got into Clint's sack that he keeps his arrows in and sat one of the arrows off that had a bomb on it thank God wasn't a explosive bomb just a smoke bomb and after the smoke cleared she was black. I have a new joke for you, how many avengers does it take to clean a dog. 4. After we go her clean Tony, had the bright idea to take her for a walk hoping that it would tire her out. That was not the case. Let's just say the 4 of us will be on tomorrows newspaper cover. " I couldn't do anything except to laugh and I really tried not to but I couldn't help it. Steve kissed me goodnight and said I was on my own and with that he went to his apartment.

4 days later I woke up ready for tomorrow.

Yay you guys we have finally made it to the wedding. I don't know if I will have the next chapter up in a little while or if I will just wait until later. So please you guys review and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I promise it will all be worth the wait.
