Not quite as long as the last one, but it does cover a lot of ground.
DarylDixon'sLover: Everything will be okay in the end. And yes, she is kind of a bitch.
chibichibi98: Yeah, I kinda dropped a couple bombs in that chapter. But don't worry, they'll be together soon.
DoctorWho9: Yes, yes they are.
Hails: Don't worry about it! I'm not that evil!
Hannah: I think everyone hates Vanessa, which is totally opposite of what I was originally going to do, but come on. She's Pierce's daughter. She's not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. And yes, she's pregnant! Don't worry, I'm not that evil. Your questions will be answered as the story goes on. And yes, it is easier to write with the plot of the movie. I mean, it's fun getting to make up stuff, but sometimes I'm just sitting there, staring at a blank document page, trying to figure out what the hell they're going to do for two years! And don't worry about long reviews. It usually means a long response, so we're even.
Tiphanie: Yes, there's going to be a baby! Her sister probably isn't going to make another appearance, unless I get really evil. Then, maybe. And don't worry, she's going to get the help she needs.
KnightOwl247: Yeah, they're gonna be pretty fast paced from here.
SilverShadowWolf46: Yay! Babies all around!
TalkNerdyToMe91: Breathe, woman, breathe! I know CPR if you need it! My warped mind isn't nearly as warped as it could be, though. I could be really evil.
NESSAANCALIME6913: Oh snap is right! You'll probably say that at this chapter too!
Anastacia Lynn: I hope this is quick enough!
Brittney-xx: Yeah, I kind of nonchalantly hinted at it at the beginning of the chapter, and they were like rabbits, it was bound to happen eventually! The waiting is very frustrating. But, what can I do? Not much.
NadzKers12: Yes, babies everywhere! They deserve a little bundle of joy after everything!
GilyFlower: Yeah, I had to put her in somewhere.
XDancingTillFlamesX: Things are gonna get intense. Very intense. Probably not that intense, but I feel like they're intense. Steve's gonna get his chance to talk to the couple, after you know, fighting and more fighting and more fighting, and almost dying. Again. Thanks, hon!
Enjoy!
I felt like I searched all day. Looking high and low, every possible spot around the facility, while trying to keep myself hidden as well. I had to remember I was a fugitive now, running from pretty much everyone.
I wouldn't have seen them if I hadn't done a double take. It's scary to think I could have just overlooked them like that. Then they would have been gone, and I would have been left behind, and I probably wouldn't have ever seen James again. They were moving from a warehouse, heading towards a side street, Captain Rogers working on breaking into an old VW Bug.
"James?" I called, pausing where I was.
He turned, and I saw his face, nearly breaking down where I was. "Olivia?" He called, taking a step towards me.
I took off in a dead sprint, running into his arms. He lifted me off the ground as I buried my face in his neck. He was still a little damp, but I didn't care. I had him again, for now. The father of my child. Our child.
He set me on my feet, pressing a kiss to my lips, pouring all of his feelings into it. My toes practically curled like the first time we kissed, it was so full of meaning.
"I thought you were gone." He said, leaning his forehead against mine.
"I threatened my sister with a gun to avoid that. You're not getting rid of me so easily." I said, looking up into his eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by a cough behind him. Both of us turned, my cheeks burning as we looked at the two other men standing by the Bug. I took James' outstretched hand, letting him lead me to the car.
We got in the back, both men up front staying relatively quiet for the short ride. James held my hand in his, playing with my fingers. I looked over to him, smiling at him. I was just happy to be with him again. I didn't care that we were running from the government, and fugitives, or that I had threatened my sister with a gun, and just made her think I was even more insane than she already thought I was. As long as I was with James, I'd be okay. I knew he'd protect me.
"Olivia?" Captain Rogers asked from the driver's seat.
"Yeah?"
"That is your name, right?"
"Yes. It's nice to finally meet you, Captain Rogers. We've passed by each other a couple times."
He was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, Olivia. I should have done something when I first saw you. I knew something wasn't right, but…" He trailed off, shaking his head.
"You couldn't be sure. Plus you were in a building half full of people trying to kill you." I shrugged. "I got my chance at freedom." I looked over to James, giving him a small smile as he squeezed my hand.
"How long has this been a thing?" The man in the passenger seat asked. "Sam Wilson, by the way." He said, turning to me.
"A year and five months." James answered, looking at the back of Sam's seat.
"Ooh, things are getting serious then, huh?"
I blushed a little. "Well...I wouldn't say that…" My heart was hammering in my chest. When was I going to tell James? I had to tell him eventually. He'd find out either way. "He's kept me alive this long. That I can be grateful for."
The car pulled up in a parking garage of an airport, not far behind a black car. Captain Rogers got out, and a blonde woman I recognized from the facility got out of the black car. I couldn't hear what they were saying, instead focusing on James. He was staring at the back of Sam's seat again.
"Can you move your seat up?" James asked.
"No." Sam said.
I held back a giggle as James lifted me, changing seats. He draped his arm across the back of my seat, and I snuggled into his chest, relaxing against his shoulder. The three of us in the car watched as Captain Rogers and the blonde woman kissed. I smiled a little, tucking myself closer to James. Captain Rogers glanced at the car, smiling sheepishly. I couldn't help but smile a little in return.
Captain Rogers grabbed his shield and what looked like a jet pack out of the trunk of the blonde woman's car, putting it in the trunk of the bug. He drove up the parking garage a few levels to where a white van was waiting. Both Sam and Captain Rogers got out, greeting the man who was driving the van, and the woman in the passenger seat. They shared a few words as James and I stood back from the group. I leaned against his chest, taking in his warmth. I'd missed this, in the few hours we'd been apart. The stress of not knowing if I'd ever see him again. If I'd ever be able to tell him about his child growing inside me.
I was jostled out of my thoughts when the van door slammed open, the person inside climbing out, Steve and Sam sharing a look. He seemed a little star struck as he approached Captain Rogers.
"Captain America." He said, shaking Captain Rogers' hand.
"Mr. Lang."
"It's an honor." He said, still shaking Captain Rogers' hand. "I'm shaking your hand too long." He finally let go. "Wow. This is awesome." He said, turning back towards the woman and the other man. "Captain America." He said, pointing at Captain Rogers. "I know you too. You're great." He said to the woman. He turned back to Captain Rogers, still in awe. He squeezed Captain Rogers' shoulders for a moment, before dropping his hands back down to his sides. "Look, I gotta say, I know you know a lot of super people, so, thanks for thinking of me." Captain Rogers nodded. "Hey man." He said to Sam.
"What's up, Tic-Tac?"
"Uh, good to see you. Look, what happened last time-"
"It was a great audition, but it will never happen again."
"Did they tell you what we're up against?"
"Something about some psyco-assassins."
"We're outside the law on this one. So if you come with us, you're a wanted man."
"Yeah, well, what else is new?"
"We should get moving." James said.
"We got a chopper lined up." The other man said.
Suddenly a voice came over the loud speaker, speaking in German.
"They're evacuating the airport." James said.
"Stark." Sam said.
"Stark?"
"Suit up." Captain Rogers said.
"You should get out of here." James said as he changed out of his clothes. "Take the car, get as far from here as possible. I don't want you caught up in this."
"I'm not leaving you, James." I said, taking his shirt from him. "Not again."
"I can't guarantee things will be pretty. I don't want to risk you getting hurt, or worse."
"There's nothing you can say to convince me to leave." I said, grabbing his arm. "I need you. Now, more than ever."
James shook his head, wrapping his hands around my arms. "If you stay you could get hurt, or get caught again. They'll take you away from me. If you leave, I will find you again."
"You can't promise that." I said, looking up into his eyes. "I'm safer with you, James. I can stay out of this fight, but I'm not running away where I can't find you again. I need you with me. I can't do this by myself." I said, taking his hands in mine.
"What do you mean? Do what by yourself?"
I bit my lip, staring into his eyes for a moment. They were so beautiful. So sincere. Everyone thought he was a monster, but I knew differently. I'd seen the real him. The man who'd taken care of me when he didn't have to. Saved my life when he didn't have to. Kept me alive when he didn't trust my loyalty. He'd seen my worst and my best, and yet, he still loved me. We'd been through hell together, and this would just be another adventure for us, if he chose to stay with me. That was the big question. He could always turn away now, and leave me behind. I'd be alone, trying to raise our child. I was sure I could get help somewhere, or just turn myself in. But then I'd never get to meet my child. See them grow up. See if they looked like James. Had his eyes, his hair. His personality. Or, god forbid, mine. I sighed, clenching James' hands tight.
"James…" I blinked back tears, clearing the lump in my throat. "I'm pregnant."
