Peggy smiled softly, and glanced at Susan enjoying her favorite ice cream, which is vanilla with chocolate chip chips, and took the old wolf stuffy off, turning off the movie-reel stone.
"Now, why don't you go to our favorite bakery and pick out your favorites, Steve? When you get back, I have a surprise for you.", Peggy chuckled softly.
Steve nodded, "Sounds good to me. Do you want a jelly-filled donut, my queen?", and Peggy smiled, "Make it two.". Steve smiled and kissed Peggy on the lips, and headed out to their neighborhood bakery, glad that a sprint for him is easy breezy.
After 15 minutes, Steve went back home with a bag of donuts, putting them on the island in the kitchen, and saw a note, reading it out loud, "In the bedroom. A question for you, luv. Do you want to make fireworks with me?".
Steve widened his eyes and smiled widely as he's really curious and excited to see what Peggy has in hold for him, and he left the kitchen, heading to their master bedroom, knocking politely, "Peggy?".
Peggy's voice spoke, "Come in, Steve.", and Steve came in, his breath escaping himself as he stared upon a mostly nude Peggy, covered in strawberry slices, wearing blue undergarments that's dotted with silver stars.
Steve nearly dropped what he was carrying, he totally forgot to put them down in the kitchen as he had to know what she wanted. "Everything alright?", Peggy teased as he shook his head.
"Yeah... I'm fine... just... caught me off guard, you know?", Steve said as she chuckled, "That was the idea. So, what do you think, Captain? Want to kick off this Independence Day with a bang?".
Steve smiled warmly, "You certainly went all for it, so why not?", closing the door, and placed the bag of donuts by the drawer next to the door, "You're making this birthday the best one. It'd be hard to compare for the future ones.".
Peggy certainly hoped that this day wouldn't be topped for sure with what she had planned. "Come on, Steve... your gift is waiting for you.", she ran her hand along her body which obviously turned Steve even more on.
Steve exhaled deeply, and groaned, "Oh, Peggy.", quickly removing his clothes, glad that Peggy had the foremind to close the curtains and all, "How did you ever come up with this?", slowly crawling up to her over the edge of the bed.
"Wasn't easy. I had the faintest idea that I wanted to go off with a bang for your birthday, and when I saw that you enjoyed strawberries when they are fresh, so I had to hide a bunch in the icebox in the back deep behind some food you wouldn't care to eat as they were my preferences, and thawed them with my fire powers carefully, and of course, I tried to be artistic as possible with the slices. And as for the star-studded underwear, I actually made them, with a bit of help...", Peggy smiled.
"Do I want to know?", Steve asked as she shook her head. "Not telling.", Peggy smirked as he kissed her on the lips. "I won't ask then... I just want you all to myself today.", Steve chuckled before purring with a grin.
Peggy smiled coyly, "Good to know...There was another reason I went for this.", looking at him nervously, "...Since it's your birthday, I want us to make something, or rather someone together...But it's up to you...I understand if you only want to do some fun loving, but please don't be upset as I actually planned for this...I checked the schedule of my body, and well, you get the gist...", not wanting a misunderstanding with Steve, knowing that he's scared even after admitting the truth months ago...
"You mean...?", Steve's eyes widened as it quickly clicked for him. "I want us to have another one, Steve... this time, one we're hopefully expecting and one we can keep and truly raise... give Susan a baby sibling.", Peggy smiled. "And of course... in case...".
"Don't.", Steve put his finger on her mouth. "We'll get her and Bucky back, for sure, I promise you.".
Peggy smiled softly, "There's the optimistic Steve I love...So?", and Steve took a deep breath, looked back down at her flat belly, a slow-forming smile as he imagined the days ahead, and then looked back at Peggy with a firm grin, "Let's make fireworks of our own, my queen.", going for the strawberry slices to eat and lick and suckle from her skin.
Peggy moaned at the touch as Steve slowly started to eat off of her, enjoying every moment and every touch that he was giving as he slowly rubbed his hands along her body, driving her senses wild.
Peggy pleaded and whimpered, "Steve...", and Steve purred after eating one of the slices, "Uh-uh, not yet.", before continuing on to eat off her slowly, torturing her pleasurably as she moaned and gasped.
Peggy realized the mistake she made there as Steve was going to drive her insane before he would do anything remotely close to finally penetrating her and giving them both the pleasure that they loved so much.
For many long minutes, this continued on with Steve finally done with the strawberry slices, and removed her bra, squeezing and caressing her breasts slowly and lovingly, and Peggy can feel that she's getting close as she whined, "Please, Steve! I'm so close!".
Steve chuckled as he left her breasts, trailing his hands slowly down her belly, and he leaned down to kiss her belly, murmured, "I will be doing this a lot, my queen. Flat or round as an orb, you are always mine...".
Peggy breathed airily, "Yes, I'm yours...", smiling as she imagined Steve kissing her baby bump in the future weeks ahead, hoping that she won't be flat like as with Susan. She wanted to feel kicks and flutters.
Moving his hands closer and slower, Steve reached her underwear, and gently removed it down her legs, revealing a sticker bow on her womanhood, and Steve smiled, "Oh, I love you, Peggy.", gently taking off the sticker bow, and went to slowly simulate her bundle of nerves with his hand.
"AH!", Peggy cried out from the pleasure she was feeling as Steve teased her down there. Every time, no matter how many times they would do it, it would always feel as amazing as the first time.
Steve chuckled softly with a proud smile, hearing her cries of pleasure as he kept teasing her down there, and before long, perhaps five minutes in, Peggy then gave out, "Steve!", her first orgasm shooting through her.
Grinning, he went to kiss her on the lips, leaving the strawberry taste on her lips, tingling, and Peggy looked at him longingly and fiercely, "Please don't torture me with your touch any longer. I need you; I want to be filled by you, damn it!".
Steve was taken aback for a moment as he honestly was a bit surprised by her outburst, "Wow, Peggy, haven't really seen this side of you much, at least directed my way.".
Peggy sheepishly smiled at him, "You drove me wild just now...Can you blame me? Perhaps it's because I really want to be a mother again, and I will know this time...I really want to be glowing and carrying a growing baby without needing to stay secret and hidden, without any threat of a war...".
"Well, for either one of those reasons, I really want that too...", Steve smiled before nodding, "Well, I won't refuse that order, Captain.", with a kiss on her lips again as he then lined himself up and penetrated into her sharply and passionately with a hint of gentleness.
"Steve!", Peggy moaned out as she felt him push his way deep inside her once more, her body wrapping around him tight as to keep him from moving much as he would plan to thrust into her.
Steve went to hold her by the back of her neck and one of her hips as he leaned into her breasts, taking them in his mouth as he slowly thrusted hard, hearing Peggy's cries and moans as he can feel the friction tightening on his rod.
"Is it wrong for me to say I can't wait until you start having some milk?", Steve asked as Peggy chuckled. "Steve... that's certainly bold and forward for you to sa- ohhh!", she moaned again as Steve hit her g-spot.
Steve chuckled, purring as it sent vibrations on her skin around her breasts, "You were saying?", and Peggy looked at him piercingly as she grabbed a bit roughly into his hair as she tightened her legs closer around him, with one hand digging deep in his skin on his back as she bucked into him, crying out again as her g-spot got hit, hearing Steve groan and gasp into her skin, "Oh, gods!".
"Two can play at that game, Steve.", Peggy teased as she kissed his lips and took him into a French kiss as they kept going at it. They were going to push each other to their limit this time, even if it would come soon or take hours.
As it turns out, it wasn't short, or it didn't take hours, but rather a long hour to compromise, and the couple was so bent up with tension and sense overload as Peggy screamed, "Steve, please! I'm really so close!", as she bucked desperately.
Steve growled, nipping at the nape of her ear, "Yes, ma'am. I won't hold back.", as he then tightened his arms around her as he went to thrust really hard three times, hearing Peggy's yells of pleasure, and on the third thrust, they both screamed out in ecstasy as Steve finally released a huge load into her womb.
Once more, three particularly unique sperms fused into one of Quantonium, Super Soldier Serum, and X-Gene, heading deep, fighting back against the current, and made it to the pristine and fertile egg, and with a few hits, the sperm finally made it in, fertilizing Peggy's egg of Quantonium, Super Soldier Serum, and X-Gene, soon becoming a new fetus which will become into a baby with a heartbeat and more.
And this time, the fetus will grow normally as best as it could, with rapid aging, and will learn its parents' voices and much more, with a new life to come, and Peggy will experience a few mild things over time, things she never experienced truly with Susan as she was a hidden secret.
The two of them collapsed on the bed once they exhausted themselves in their passion and laid in each other's arms. They took deep breaths as Steve smiled.
"So... think you're pregnant now?", Steve asked as Peggy nodded. "Well, I certainly think the Quantonium would make sure of that.", Peggy answered.
Steve chuckled, "Oh, for sure.", and then smiled tenderly as he gently touched Peggy's belly, "I know I am a natural with a daughter, but I hope it's a son this time...".
Peggy intertwined her fingers with his fingers on her belly, "I'd really like that...Maybe he would be a momma's boy just like you were.". Steve kissed her on the cheek, "Oh, I can't wait to see that...", as he lovingly moved her closer in his arm, taking the light summer blanket over them.
"I love you, Steve.", Peggy smiled as she kissed him on the lips, and Steve smiled, "I love you too, Peggy.", and they fell asleep, content and happy, and Peggy secretly prayed that she would make Steve's wish come true, but she couldn't blame her body if it's a girl instead. After all, she can't control genes.
And so, with a great bang to end Steve's birthday, the couple went on to enjoy married life, kept watching over Susan and Bucky, and of course, assisted Stark in his lab with figuring out the German notes and such, which is one of the usual days at the end of the month, and the first instance when Peggy finds out that her plan worked.
Peggy woke up early, fairly earlier than she normally would in the morning, and she quickly felt sick to her stomach and ran for the bathroom as she needed to hurl. Due to her hurry, it woke Steve up as he rolled over to see her dashing for the bathroom.
"Peggy?", Steve asked as he heard her vomit, "You ill?". Peggy groaned as she kept vomiting, and Steve got concerned, running to the bathroom, leaning down to help hold her hair back as he rubbed her back, and after a minute, Peggy smiled weakly, "No...And besides, did you get sick ever since the changes?".
Steve shook his head, "Not even when I tried to get drunk one time with Bucky...", before widening his eyes as he remembered that Peggy never got sick at all, not even from the common cold or anything else on the frontlines.
"Peggy, are you saying what I'm thinking?", Steve whispered with hope and anxiety, and Peggy touched her belly, looking at Steve with awe and hope, "I... I'm pregnant...".
Steve laughed tearfully, holding her tenderly, "Oh, Peggy!", touching her belly alongside her hand, feeling a tiny bit of baby bump, "We have to check with one of the lab doctors, not definitely Stark, to make sure, but gods, this is the best news ever! My birthday gift coming true...".
"That was the plan...", Peggy chuckled as she took a deep breath to relax since she still was feeling the morning sickness. "Well, it was a very good plan.", Steve smiled as he kept gently rubbing her belly.
Peggy giggled, "Why, thank you.", before breathing deeply as she remembered her mom's stories of her pregnancies of her and Michael, and chuckled, "Erskine was right...Quantonium gives rapid aging...Normally, I would have morning sickness in the second month, but I think our baby is two months old...as I am just a month along...".
"Same deal with Susan then. Or at least similar.", Steve said. "At least this one does want to be known.".
"Thank goodness... at least it'll be less of a surprise when it comes along.", Peggy sighed and gave a small chuckle as she rubbed her belly now. "At least I'll know I'm not dying there.".
Steve smiled, "And I'm glad of that. Instead, you will be in labor, and I'll be there at your side, my queen, but for now, that's far in the future as we still have some time to go.".
Peggy nodded, "Indeed. Now, come help me up... I would still want some Earl Grey tea or something to settle down...", and Steve kissed her temple, "Of course.", helping her up, cleaning her up as they headed to the kitchen.
Thankfully, when they went to the lab later on, with a wonderful assistance of a lab doctor and all, it was officially clear that Peggy's pregnant, and that she will be fine for the next two months to help Stark, but after that, she cannot head inside, but she would at least help in the office or at home to figure out more of the German notes of Schimdt.
The excited parents kept discovering that halfway through the second month, her breasts are getting more tender, with her belly bump growing bigger, and much to Steve's happiness, he heard from one of the experienced lab doctors that he can still make love to her up to a few more months.
Thankfully, the morning sickness turned out to be mild at times, along with food cravings, but it was no issue with the parents as they are covered financially well. And so, the months went incredibly fast yet impatiently agonizing at some points.
And for Susan, she grew confused and worried to see the illusions of her mum changing so much when she expected her mum and dad's visits for her birthdays, baseball games, school days, and even school dances, telling Chris who has recently came out to be gay, but only to her in secret.
It was all so strange to her; the fact that she was sure she was imagining her biological mother slowly getting pregnant, but not only that... those brief glimpses in her dreams, regarding what the world around them was that slowly was starting to make more sense to her thanks to history classes at school. Similar to what she was taught, but slightly different in ways.
In late July, The Potsdam Agreement was completed in regard to both the fates of Europe but also Japan. Peggy and Steve met Roosevelt a few days into their honeymoon when the President flew over the Atlantic to come to Europe for the early celebrations before a cerebral hemorrhage claimed his life on the 12th of April, leaving Vice President Harry Truman to take the office and in turn to lead the western nations in the negotiations with Stalin.
The Soviet Premier was silently livid at essentially being cheated from achieving vengeance for the Motherland against the fascist butchers that destroyed much of the Eastern Soviet Union. It was a tense tight rope that Truman and Churchill, who's Conservative Party lost the general election against Clement Attlee's Labour Party only weeks prior to Potsdam, had to walk to keep from things spiraling out of control and kick-starting World War 3 against the Red Army.
Eventually, the six long years' war exhaustion for Europe and the Soviet Union keep another war from sparking, but the postwar divide was already starting to take shape. Germany was split into 4 zones of occupation between the allies of the USA, UK, USSR and France, with Berlin being divided four ways as well.
