“RUN!” Everyone’s head snapped toward Steve and Danny running out of the building frantically. 

You pushed Kono and Chin up using their momentum to latch on for a boost. They took off leaving you in the dust. You were never good at running and you weren’t even supposed to be in the field, but today was one of the few exceptions.

“Y/N get down!” You heard Steve shout. You searched frantically for anything to take cover behind before you felt a strong arm pull you into an even stronger grasp as the earth shook beneath your feet. Hot wind and debris pushed you forward landing into the dirt. Steve’s weight pushing the air out of your lungs.

Steve pushed up quickly straddling you, “Babe? Baby are you alright?”

You opened your eyes slowly as his hands began brushing your hair from your face holding it gently, “There are better ways to ask me to get into this position Steve...Blowing up a building...not necessary...”

He chuckled leaning down kissing you over and over again and only stopped when Danny sat up, “Hey Danny, are you okay? Oh yeah...i’m fine, All scratched up but I’m good, thanks for asking. You’re so thoughtful.”

“Danny you alright?” Steve smirked looking at him as he stood.

Danny didn't think a single word could stop the world...but you asking him to stay the night just about did it.

"Yeah...yeah, okay." He smiled sheepishly before taking your outstretched hand and stepping inside.

You walked down the corridor of the hospital quickly brushing away the tears that didn't seem to want to stop no matter how much you told yourself that he was fine. Steve had been in a shoot out and taken a bullet. Danny had called you following the ambulance.

He told you he was fine, but that he wouldn't be leaving the hospital anytime today. The bullet had grazed an artery that needed to be repaired.

Taking a deep breath before you walked into Steve's room you pushed open the door. You stood there seeing him resting. You choked letting your hand rest on your belly. Seeing him in the hospital never got easier.

You walked over trying to be quiet, but his SEAL ears picked up the slightest difference. His eyes fluttered open looking up at you, "Babe?"

"Danny called...I came straight from the airport..." You told him taking his hand in yours.

"I'm okay... everything is good." He smiled at you looking you over, "Are you feeling better? You sounded miserable yesterday on the phone."

Your cheeks redden and even in the dark lit room he could see it. He looked at you concerned as you spoke, "Steve, we-we need to talk."

"Uh...Okay. What's up?" He swallowed a feeling his mouth get dry.

"Well...you-you remember taking me to the beach...a while back...we had dinner and walked and...a really good time." You stared at him as he nodded, "Well... I've been so sick...be-because we had a really good time and uh...we-we're pregnant."

He stared at you for a long time. So long you began to worry until he spoke his eyes sparking with energy, "We're having a baby?"

You smiled as he squeezed you hand, as you spoke his heart monitor peaked, "Yes."

A nurse ran into the room concerned, "Sir...is everything alright."

"We're having a baby!" He grinned telling the woman as she took his wrist in her hand checking his vitals.

"Ah! That's good. I thought you were going to into cardiac arrest." She smiled looking at you, "Congratulations."

You smiled as a doctor came in and every time Steve just beamed. Their concerns turned to joy happy for the couple. It was beautiful and happy. However they insisted he calm down and heal giving him something to calm down.

He looked at you eyes glazing over grin still light across his features, "We're having a baby..."

"It's okay..." He enveloped you in his arms pulling you to his chest, covering your head with one of his hands as he pressed his mouth against your ear whispering, "What can I do? How can I help you?"

You shook in his embrace, embarrassed to be so vulnerable in front of him, but also so thankful that someone finally saw you past the strong facade you kept up, "I do-don't know..."

When you let out a gasping sob Steve's heart broke. You were important to him and he felt awful that it took him so long to see the truth, "Okay...well I'm right here..."

You stood shocked at the words that left Steve's mouth. He swayed again as he took another step toward you eventually leaning against your door, "I was...stupid..."

"And what are you now?" You crossed your arms looking up to his very intoxicated face.

"Stupid..." He leaned down kissing your cheek before he leaned his head into your neck sighing contently by being in your space, "I'm sorry..."

You stood frozen unsure of how to act. It had been years since you'd seen him. So much had happened, so much had changed...

"Really? The one?" Danny looked at Steve driving, "Absolutely no one else in the world would do, she's it?"

Steve smiled as he turned onto the highway, "Yeah...that about sums it up."
