Steve smiled softly at Sofia with his hand gently resting on her waist as he listened to her. He was feeling the weight of it all settle into his chest, his excitement growing. “I think we’re both in for a pretty big adventure, aren’t we?” he said, his voice filled with that enthusiasm that she always brought out of him. "And as for that stuffed bear, I’m already picturing myself knocking down those targets just to see you smile.”

He leaned in slightly to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I can’t wait to find out. Knowing if it’s a boy or a girl makes it feel real, it’s not just this idea anymore. We’ll be able to picture it all. I already know we’re going to spoil them rotten. But, hey, we’ve got time. And we’ll figure it all out together." He was so hopeful for their future and their little bundle of joy.

Steve shifted so that he was closer to her after taking a few more bites of his food, his hand brushing lightly over her stomach. "No matter if it’s a son or a daughter, I’m just glad it’s ours. I can’t imagine doing this with anyone else," His voice was sincere as he spoke. "You’ve already made me feel like I’m the luckiest guy in the world, and I can’t wait to do this whole parenting thing with you." He stood up then to retrieve their empty plates and take them to the sink, starting to clean up the kitchen to keep her off her feet.

Sofia couldn’t help but roll her eyes slightly as he reminded her to eat, she was much better than she had been before. Now she made a conscious effort to make sure she ate three meals a day, before she would have a protein bar and wonder why she was starving when she got home after a long shift. Now it wasn’t just about her, it was about the baby too.

She was going to point out that he wasn’t eating until she saw him taking a few bites. Although she was a doctor, and she had seen many ultrasounds before, this was a thousand times more exciting. This was her body, their baby. Though her doctor mind did always look out for any complications or signs that something was wrong. "You really think so?” She smiled when he agreed to her amusement park idea, it was only something simple but fun none the less. “You going to win one of those target games and get me a stuffed bear? For the baby, obviously.” She teased with a cheeky wink.

Sofia looked across at Steve as he thought about it, she wanted to know what they were having. It just made it feel more exciting, being able to say they were having a son or a daughter. Painting the nursery in different colours, buying the cutest clothes they could find. She also knew her parents were dying to find out. “Yeah? Me too.” She confessed, feeling relieved he wanted to find out. “It will, to say we’re going to have a son or a daughter, that’s – well that’s real. That’s a real life human being, not just a baby. Then we can think of names, see what we like. Paint the nursery, start choosing out things we want.”

"I died once. Last year." Buck didn't talk about it often, usually pretending it had never happened, but something about them had him wanting to tell them. "I was struck by lightening, spent a week in a coma."

Solymar got the car to the shop, it was a rather terrifying drive over. The care made a bunch of sounds and pops as she bumped down the road before pulling in and parking the car. She let out a deep exhale, not realizing she had been holding her breath as she sunk lower in her seat. She pushed her sunglasses up for a moment before she spotted Benjamin.

She waved before she made a grand gesture towards the automobile. "And take a look at this beauty." She said wiggling her fingers before she straightened up. "So, do you think you'll be able to help me get it in shape, get new parts and stuff..." she nodded trying to hide any sound of fear that she maybe in over her head.

The world was a mess after the final battle with Thanos. It was bad when he'd snapped his fingers and everyone had turned to dust. Children were found locked in their homes with no parents to look after them. House fires started all over where people had been cooking and then suddenly vanished. Planes had dropped out of the air. And everyone had to adjust to the world having lost people.

Steve had been sure he was doing the right thing bringing everyone back. The universe was living with a massive group trauma and he thought it might heal it. He hadn't taken into account how many people would now be displaced because their families had sold their homes and moved away. He hadn't thought of all the couples who'd had a partner disappear that had moved on only to have them return again. He hadn't considered the custody battles of children who had been adopted only to have their biological parents return. It was messy and it was ugly, but he'd help try to fix it.

He'd been working non-stop since the battle. He'd managed to secure pardon's for everyone involved in the battle at the German Airport. He had found an apartment in Brooklyn that was small, but big enough for him and Bucky. And he'd even managed to furnish it. Sparsely. But it was furnished. Now he was going to help his best friend try to find his place in this new world.

He led Bucky into the living room and looked at him expectantly. "I know it's not much," he said. "But what do you think?"

Comfort

@scinglives

So much had happened since Thanos. Wanda had lost everything. Gained something. And then lost it all again. Her boys were gone. Vision was gone. She was alone.

Alone, nearing winter in Alaska. It was a cold November with snow already lightly coating the ground. Her cabin was kept warm by magic.

Surely her boys were out there. Somewhere. Souls could be created but not destroyed. So where were they?

Feeling the presence of someone coming, someone familiar, she moved to the door, and looked out to see James Barnes.

"You must be cold. Come inside."

"It's not wrong at all." Ben smiled as he stood up from the car he was working on, he always loved it when Teresa came to see him at work. It was a nice break and well a welcome distraction. "In fact I'd be rather insulted if you said you didn't want to kiss me right now. If you ignore the fact that I'm all sweaty."

Teresa loved to surprise Ben at work. In her mind, there’s honestly nothing sexier than seeing him work hard, underneath a car. All that grease and sweat looked good on him. With a cheeky smile etched upon her features, chuckling softly at his words as her eyes sparkled full of mischief. The brunette hummed softly as she sauntered closer towards him. Her hands reached for his overalls. “Mmm. It all adds to your charm,” she muttered as she inched closer her lips a hair’s breadth apart before she closed the distance, capturing his lips in a kiss with ardor, expressing how much she’s missed him. Pulling away breathlessly she questioned hopefully, "Your lunch break is soon, right?"

"oh ..―hey," she said abruptly to the familiar stranger sitting beside her at the bar who she vaguely could remember his name from their rather awkward first and only date. "if i knew any better i'd say you were stalking me," she joked for a moment as sipped on her glass of wine. "you're one of the groomsmen, right? um, malcolm, was it?"

A Silent Promise

@scinglives

It had been a silent unspoken promise when they were kids that they would stick together. Best friends don't abandon one another. So...now...so many years later and with the chance to have a wife and family...Steve returned to Bucky.

He gasped as he returned to the present, falling forward as he tripped over something and crashing into Bucky.

"Shit. Sorry."

He chuckled.

"Must have new feet. But hey, I got that dance."

And he let her go.

Not exactly top of his list but he did offer. Jack was a surgeon not a handyman. “I’ll be gentle,” he said, grabbing the nearest instruction sheet. Settling himself onto the ground and smiling up at Eden, he thought on the last several months as he looked it over. “Crib,” he said aloud. “Shouldn’t take too long. You gonna watch me?”

@scinglives || Mama Nat!AU

After many long hours, later, she finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl, six pounds and three ounces with a fiery red hair and hazel eyes. Hearing the first cry, got her so emotional because during this pregnancy there were times it was difficult due to her past but everything went well today.

Finally the time came and Natasha was craddling her daughter in her arms, skin to skin is very important for the first couple of hours and that is exactly what was happening. Tears running down her cheeks as glance down at her baby and back at her man. "She's so tiny and she looks like you know."

julia never quite understood why callum avoided television hours for izzy: it seemed to entertain her, seemed to make her focused on something. but by the moment izzy was asleep and jules was the one watching tv, she noticed precisely why he wouldn't allow: there was no way of controlling what kind of information would get to the little one. just as the one that just occurred to julia. dating a firefighter was as far from calm than it could be; his job involved putting his life at risk to save others', and although julia admired it a lot, it would usually make her feel completely desperate, even more after hearing those news. oh god, please, no. no, not him pleas-, she's interrupted of her thoughts once she hears a low "jaaaaay!" from the little one's bedroom. rushing over there and trying to hold back the multiple thoughts she had been having about her boyfriend's safety, she opens the door and finds the little one sitting on her bed. is it possible that she felt something was happening? "what's wrong, princess?" she asks, terrified of what she might hear. "i can't sleep" she hears, and walks towards her bed. "it's alright, iz. jay's here. what do you want to do?"

[entangledmuses]

Luciana laughed "I suppose that's true." She nodded,

"but I am sure she is also very proud of what you do." She smiled.

Not only was he raising Izzy, but he had quite the job too, something that wasn't an easy job.

"Maybe I should teach you a few Latin moves." She smirked a little.

"You might impress a few single bridesmaids with that. How loose are your hips?" She asked him.

She knew she would be impressed if he threw a few Latin dance moves, she did love a bit of Salsa. Lucianna smiled softly.

"She gets a lot of good things from you too Callum." She breathed. And she truly believed that.

In her eyes, Callum was incredible, there were so many things she adored about him.

"Well I have to be able to spend time alone with you too." She smiled.

"But she gets plenty of time with me, and I love spending time with her." She breathed. "To look good in my heels, I gotta have someone taller than me, so as much as I love her, she's a little too little. But she is definitely one of my favourites too."

"Oh yeah? I mean that's going to take a lot of work because no matter what, she is always going to find me embarrassing. That's the role of being a dad." He pointed out with a smile, he always tried to make Izzy laugh and most of the time that was by her thinking he was ridiculous.

"No, I don't think the frat boy dancing can come out a wedding. Though you never know, people don't seem to care when they've got a few beers in them." Callum mused as he looked in to her eyes, she really was beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful to him.

"She's a good kid, she's got a lot of her mother in her. Takes after her, thank God. That's true, if anything she'll just be jealous that I'm getting to hang out with you and not her. I'm sure she would much rather be your plus one. Maybe you and her can have a girls night or day or something, make it up to her. Four years get offended by anything. Plus you're her favourite person. "

It was the last situation Buck wanted to be in, in a hospital, once again because he had managed to get himself hurt. He had tried to insist that he was fine, the idea of returning to the hospital as a patient bringing back memories of lightening and coma dreams that he didn't want to think about. But after falling through the ceiling at a fire and injuring his ankle, some ribs and what was probably a lot of bruising, he had been outvoted and loaded into the back of the ambulance.

Arriving at the ER, he knew that Sofia was working that evening, guilt already building at the thought of worrying her and distracting her from her work, he just wanted to go home.

Parking out the front of her boyfriends house, Jenna looked into her back seat that housed her duffle bag full of clothes and everything she needed for staying the night, right next to the bag of food and goodies she’d brought his sisters. She loved staying over at Ben’s, loved spending time with his sisters and even more the time they got together but she also missed her apartment. Getting her things, she slowly made her way inside.

“Hey! I got pizzas, chocolate and face masks!” She called out, making her way into the kitchen to put the food down before going towards the stairs to Ben’s room, not having spotted anyone in the house yet.

it was protocol really if a situation went bad that they would have to go to the hospital, even if he'd felt fine he did end up needing a few stitches. it was really just a graze on his arm, but it did require a few stitches, and they had him in a sling - stupid if you wanted rian's opinion. but what he hadn't expected was for the other to show up there, confusion riddling his features. ❝ what're you doing here? ❞ he questioned before it finally hit him. ❝ seriously? they called you? i'm fine. the bullet just grazed my arm. i'm fine to drive. ❞

@scinglives gets a starter for Sofia

Somehow, it had become a running joke in the department; Kiara's huge crush on Sofia. It was beyond horrifying that everyone knew - was she really so obvious? - but she had recently stopped denying it. Nobody believed her denials, anyway.

Thankfully, it seemed, none of her colleagues had been quite cruel enough to tell Sofia. But if it was so obvious to everyone else, perhaps she already knew. Kiara tried to push those thoughts from her mind, and act normal, as she stood beside her at the bar.

"I'll get the next round," she informed her, with a faint smile. "What are you drinking?"
