Amanda laughed warmly, "That's right, little one, grandmum is here, and so is your granddad. You're really sure that it's a girl, huh?", glancing at Peggy, and Peggy chuckled, "A doctor friend of mine and Steve had some old-fashioned notions of finding out the gender, and I know in my gut that it's a girl as we trust him.".

"Well, if our granddaughter is happy to see us, they must be still hungry even after that ice cream, eh?", Harrison smiled, and Peggy replied, "She is, but you came a long way, you don't have to cook, either of you!".

Harrison replied, "Nonsense! Come on, let us spoil you, our only daughter, and it isn't every day we get to cook for a granddaughter.", with a raised eyebrow, and Peggy sighed dramatically yet happily, "Oh, alright, but be prepared for me being picky!".

"Your father had to deal with me when I was having cravings, though they were different each with you and your brother. I think we both got it.", Amanda smiled, "Now take a nap, and one of us will wake you up when it's ready.".

Peggy smiled, "Okay, mum.", glad to have company in her parents as it is lonesome without Steve in their bed and all, and so, that weekend was spent in wonderful hours chatting, resting, and playing games, and it was then discovered that the colonel friend of Phillips was helpful to give her parents a temporary place in another apartment home, just down the road from hers, for maternity support and all.

So, it was two weeks with her parents that she was so happy to have, for she greatly missed them, but it felt like a bit constraining as well, even if she's an adult already, for they were a bit worried and surprised when they discovered that the baby is not normal in growth or strength, and then she was pleasantly surprised when Steve came home to her arms on a Friday night, a few days away from the anniversary of the Dunkirk Battle, and figurately Michael's death as well.

"How've you been doing?", Steve asked, the moment he saw her as she sighed and smiled. "Pretty good so far...", Peggy told him, "It's been getting a bit emotional for a little while lately... what with the date and all.".

"Yeah, your brother, right?". She nodded when he said that. Steve exhaled, "I'm sorry we didn't get to do that last year, since we were catching up on things and all so soon after Atlantis there...I mean, I should have thought about grabbing a bouquet, giving it to you to place it for him at a tree or something in Mom's graveyard, out of respect...".

Peggy smiled gently, kissing him on the lips, "Aww, Steve, it's okay...I think this year is just a bit more emotional since Mum and Dad are here...they're currently shopping for dinner right now...".

"Oh, yeah, I heard some from Phillips that his friend was really nice to give your folks a temporary place to look after you...Believe me, I was so relieved when I heard that...Audrey had to punch me out for pacing with worry that weekend, Bucky was teasing, and Sweet was understanding, reassuring me that you and the baby was fine, while Mole was his crazy laughing self...", Steve said.

Peggy giggled, "Sounds like them, alright...", as Steve laughed, and then Peggy gasped in pain from an excited kick, "Oh, you're up now, aren't you? Yes, your daddy's home...Come on, take it easy now...", before feeling an apologetic hand patting, and she replied, "You're forgiven...", shaking her head in amusement and warmth as Steve looked over her in awe and love.

"So, am I to guess that you told them everything?", Steve asked as she nodded while he motioned them to head to the kitchen as he was getting hungry. "Yep; certainly got the major points out of the way quick, the little details over the next few days.", Peggy told him.

Steve looked at her, "You didn't tell them about the Heart?", and Peggy replied, "No. I only said that it was advanced technology. And they don't know about the crystals' powers and all.", as she leaned against the pole, watching Steve preparing sandwiches.

"But they know about the loss of good people and the spies?", Steve asked, and Peggy nodded, "Yeah. And no, I ain't bothering about the volcano battle as that was rather more on the secret side of the technology that both Atlantis and Hydra got, or at least as we had gotten most of Hydra's tech destroyed and all including that zeppelin.".

Steve nodded, "Fair enough.", before giving her one of the sandwiches, "Here.", and Peggy smiled as another kick came, "We thank you, luv.", before eating the sandwich, as Steve went to eat his sandwich, leaning down to rest his head on her baby bump, "Hey, baby girl...", as he kneeled beside Peggy, as she smiled, caressing her hand through his hair.

"Have you been behaving for your mum, and your grandparents?", Steve asked, and another kick came, and he chuckled, "That's my girl...Your mum is eating, and you will get some tasty crumbs and all...Now, you really have to cheer your mum up over the next week when you can...It's the anniversary of your uncle's great gift to protect all of this family...granted, he didn't know about you, but I'm sure he knows now...".

A patting of a hand was felt, and Steve chuckled, "Oh, I'm sure he would have loved you, darling, as much as we love you, and you love us, right?", and a warm kick came, "Good...", smiling as he caressed the bump between finishing up his sandwich.

"You really got bigger and stronger, darling...", Steve commented, and Peggy replied, "She has...But she also got heavier, and more active...I have gotten decent massages thanks to Dad, but they aren't good as yours, Steve.", with a smile as Steve moved to grab milk for their glasses.

Steve looked at her, "Aren't the baths helping too?", and Peggy chuckled, "Oh, they are better in easing the aches and the baby weight off some, but it's frustrating in finding a compromise...That, and using the massages and baths as a distraction to keep my mind off my horny hormones as of late.", with a huff as she finished her sandwich, and smiled gratefully as she then took her glass of milk, gulping it slowly to wash her sandwich bits and all down.

"Certainly can solve that issue now that I'm here. The bath and message at the same time at least...", Steve chuckled as Peggy smirked.

"Well, that would help a ton, I think... but I honestly think, Steve... our daughter might be here soon...", Peggy told him as he raised an eyebrow.

"Right, because of the flight? Sweet mentioned that when I last saw him.", Steve said. "Plus, not to mention my stress might be playing a small factor; you being away and all, worried if you might not make it home and all... plays with the head some days.", Peggy said with a sigh.

Steve gently grabbed her waist, bringing her into his arms gently, kissing her forehead, "Hey, it's okay, Peggy. Phillips made sure that the last couple of weeks were spent with simple missions, like campaigning people to fight in Italy and wrecking some German camps. And he was nice enough to give me some time off.".

Peggy exhaled, taking in his familiar scent and smiled, "And I'm glad he did...Before Sweet left for Toulouse Base, back to you guys, he told me that lovemaking is still on the plate as well...", and Steve replied, "As long as it isn't rough.", with a smile back at her before whispering softly, "You're becoming so beautiful with such a glow of being a mother...", caressing through her hair.

"Bath and massage first, and then you're all mine, mister...", Peggy smiled eagerly, and Steve chuckled, "If you don't mind being mine first, Peggy...", before kissing her passionately, lifting her up in his arms, both of them pleasantly pleased that his super strength is truly beyond natural limits as Peggy sighed and moaned, mussing his hair as they headed to the bathroom.

Indeed, with an incredible massage, an ingenious bath with him thrusting slowly and lovingly in her from behind as they rested against the rim of the tub, yet careful of their daughter's home as she enjoyed the water, with both parents amused and happy to feel their daughter's actions of floating on her back in a way, and after that, they headed to their bedroom, soaking their robes as they crossed the hallway, not caring as Peggy pushed her husband into the bed, and made their second round of lovemaking torturingly slow yet amazingly eager as she rode him, with the sight of her pregnant belly and her plump breasts a glorious sight to him as he watched his wife, and helped lessen the aches of her breasts with his hands.

Those two rounds lasted almost two hours, with 30 minutes in the tub, yet an hour and nearly 35 minutes in bed, and now, they're just taking a breath, relaxing as Peggy traced Steve's tattoos, smiling as she is feeling his hand tracing her baby bump, "You know, I think we couldn't come out of our cottage back in America if I was this horny for months with this little girl growing as a normal baby...No offense, sweetheart.", at a soft kick.

"I don't think she minds... I think she knows just how much we love each other... and how wild we can be.", Steve teased as he kissed the nape of her neck once more.

Peggy giggled, "I have to agree, Steve...I really missed this, being in your arms...It's mean and frustrating that we had to sneak around back in Toulouse Base, and we rarely had the opportunity to do this in that solitary room sometimes...But here, as you are a British citizen somewhat, thanks to being married to me, we can be together here in London and all..".

Steve replied, "And don't forget the American part either...Our cottage back there deserves to have the laughter of this darling daughter of ours...", smiling as he stroked her baby bump, happy to cradle his wife in his arms.

"And don't forget that we could visit Atlantis too...She would love swimming without societal limits down there...of course, she'd have to learn how to swim before we could allow her...", Peggy chuckled before yawning softly.

Steve kissed her neck gently, "That bath and massage and those wonderful rounds has tired you out, huh?", and Peggy replied, "Sure has...Would you call Mum and Dad on the kitchen phone to come over and cook something for at least an hour if they're home yet after doing their grocery shopping for their home and our home? I don't want you to leave me and cook...even if I know I love your cooking...I miss sleeping in your arms.".

"I'm sure they'd understand that... you really do look like you've needed this...", Steve said as Peggy chuckled, "God knows I have...".

Steve smiled, kissing her on the cheek, "Try to get into dreamland, I'll be right back...", caressing her skin lovingly and kissed her baby bump on the way as he left the bed, taking up his robe, and opened the door, closing it with a content glance at his wife and unborn daughter.

He is glad that Peggy is now feeling right with him home, and he doesn't mind making wonderful, gentle, less noisy, if horny love with his wife in the sake of their daughter for some time until she arrives.

He headed to the kitchen, going to use the wall phone when his eyes widened to see his parents-in-law stocking up groceries, and they glanced at him with smiles, "Evening, Steve.".

Steve replied, "Evening...", gulping, "How long were you two here?", and Harrison replied, "Not long...Saw your shield and luggage when we got in, and of course, the biggest hint was you calling out loudly with our daughter's name in the air.", with a smirk, teasing his son-in-law.

He blushed, hearing that as Harrison chuckled and shook his head, "You're lucky you two are already married or we'd really start having a problem.". Amanda playfully swatted her husband's arm upon him saying that.

"Harrison, behave!", Amanda chuckled, and smiled at Steve, "I'm glad you're home. She hasn't been fully herself without you around...What has gotten you out of the room?".

Steve replied, "Peggy was asking me to phone call you guys if you were in the other house...She is really clingy...not that I don't mind at all, but well, she is hoping you two would do dinner while she sleeps in my arms for a nice long nap.".

Harrison replied, glancing at Amanda, "Squash soup?", and Amanda smiled, nodding, "Squash soup. Go back to Peggy, Steve, we got this. We will wake you up when it's piping warm.".

Steve nodded, smiling, "Thank you, Harrison, Amanda.", and Harrison replied, "Call us Dad and Mum when you feel ready, Steve. After all, you're technically our son by marrying our daughter.".

"I know...", Steve smiled bigger as he then returned to his wife, and so, the family spent time in laughter, conversation, and smiles, and as the days came closer to the anniversary of Michael's death and the Battle of Dunkirk, Peggy and her parents went to tell stories of him upon Steve's curiosity, seeing why Michael was special to them.

May 31st came, and Peggy felt like pacing, like needing to walk around and be horny more than usual, and so, with an evening stroll longer than usual, in Steve's supervision, and two rounds earlier throughout the day, she is somehow eager still, and understanding that the couple has to be alone more often those days, with Steve to comfort Peggy if she grieves or talks about Michael, the house was left to themselves.

Peggy cried out, "Yes, Steve! Oh, right there!", as Steve is thrusting fast yet steady, kneeling on the edge of the bed, in her as Peggy held tight to the sheets with her hands and her legs hooked under the bed for leverage.

"I'm so close, Peggy!", Steve held to her thighs, kissing her breasts, and then Peggy shouted, "Steve!", as she came tight around him, and with a groan and grunt, he shouted as he came, "Peggy!".

Peggy grabbed into him as they panted heavily, and after a few minutes, Steve chuckled, "Good thing I got plenty of stamina to keep up with your horny desires...You satisfied for now?", as he kissed Peggy's neck gently.

"Yes, I think so...Oh, my, I think I kept you really in there...You're sweaty...", Peggy giggled, and Steve smiled, "You like it?", as he can feel his penis really deflating fast into her.

Peggy smiled, "Oh, I like it on you, making you really perfect, but unfortunately, the smell is murder on my nose...Pregnancy hormones there...", and Steve replied, "You're good if I take a shower?", with a glint of concern.

"I'll take a nap as I was really energetic today, maybe read a book to help me settle down to sleep easier...", Peggy replied, feeling the aches and such flare so much from all the activity today, "Go on, Steve, take that shower.".

Steve nodded, "Okay. But one last thing...", before kissing her deeply on the lips as he lifted her up, walking around the bed to the side of the bed, resting her back as he popped free of her, "I love you so much, Peggy, and I love you too, darling...", stroking her baby bump, feeling a kick.

Peggy smiled, "We love you too, Steve...Now, shoo, before your stink gets in this room any longer!", playfully swatting his shoulder.

"Alright, alright!", Steve laughed as he left, leaving Peggy alone to rub her belly once more. "Your father certainly needs to be constantly told to do the simplest things sometimes... he can take orders from an officer without question and yet when I ask him to take a shower...", she shook her head.

A kick came, and Peggy chuckled, "I suppose you're right. He isn't a soldier to us...He's family...My artist and humble husband, and your protective and strong father...", before smiling, "You want a story, sweetheart?", and a kick once again.

Peggy laughed, and grabbed her book from her bedside table, and started to read aloud for several minutes before dozing off, falling asleep with the book on her bump, oblivious to her baby's motions and turns for some more minutes before pain contracted through her, earning her to groan, waking up from her dozing sleep, "Sweetheart, there's other ways to grab attention, you know, if you're really hungry.", half thinking that she kicked hard again, rubbing her belly as she took the book off.

Suddenly, she felt the belly skin tighten, and she groaned, gasping as pain came again, but it wasn't miscarriage pain or even incidental baby pain, but actually contractions as she realized why she was so energetic and frantic and such all day, and she shouted, "Steve, I'm in labor!", feeling that it's just the start of everything for her and the baby, if her mum is right.
