I own nothing.

It was first of December. Much had changed since August; the protection detail had backed off. They were still remodeling the house, although now the house was livable. It was hard to believe that in less course of year they had gone from being alone to being married.

Evelyn opened the front door. She was dressed in dark blue sweater and jeans and brown boots. Her hair was pulled back in pony tail. She removed her heavy winter coat as she shut and locked the door.

"Jarvis, is Steve, home?" Evelyn asked.

"Captain Rogers is not here Mrs. Rogers." Jarvis answered.

Evelyn took the small bag she got from a drug store and head to the first floor bathroom, closing the door behind her. She closed the lid of the toilet and sat down and started to read the back of the pregnancy tests she got. Steve and Evelyn were trying for a baby since they were married, but between her medical experimentation and birth control pills on her side, add that to him being subject to super soldier serum, they doubt that it would be easy. She had missed her last period, and was late by week for her next one. She was feeling sick to stomach most morning for the past two weeks. She had yet to throw up and had not told Steve because she figured it was just stomach bug. Between her missed period and late period and her she figured she would check. She took three tests, now it was just the matter of waiting; Evelyn went to try to straighten up the bathroom; throwing the boxes away.

"Jarvis let me know when it has been five minutes please"

"I will do that Mrs. Rogers."

"Jarvis you can call me Evelyn when Steve is not here."

"As you wish Mrs. Rogers… I mean Evelyn."

Evelyn shook her head; then she headed down to the kitchen and started to get stuff out to make cookies. She promised Tony that she would bring some cookies over tonight, for their little Christmas gathering. Being that Tony and Pepper were leaving the next day for the west coast and would not be back until maybe New Years Day. This was the longest five minutes of her life. She let the butter soften and preheated the oven, making sure everything was ready to start making the cookies. She headed back to the bathroom.

"Evelyn it has been five minutes" Jarvis said.

She practically ran into the bathroom. Evelyn looked at all the tests; they were all positive. She was in shock for a brief moment; covering her mouth with her hand. Happy tears started well up and fall down her face; she looked up into the mirror as a huge smile came across. She threw the tests away and buried them in trash. Now, it was just the matter of telling Steve. How am I going to do it? No doubt he will be overjoyed.

A few hours later Steve was due back any moment now. Evelyn was moving the iced sugar cookies to a container when she heard the front door open.

"I'm home," Steve yelled.

"In the kitchen," Evelyn yelled.

A few moments later Steve wrapped his arms around her middle leaning down and kissing her neck. She smiled and laughing as he reached and grabbed a cookie, turned and leaned against the counter. Evelyn put the last of the cookies in the container and leaned over to kiss her husband. His arms wrapped around her middle pulled her closer to him, to deepen the soft kiss into passionate one. After a few moments they pulled away breathless but not wanting to leave each other's arms; he rested his forehead against her forehead. He kissed her softly again.

"How was your day, sweetheart?" Evelyn asked.

"Good, I miss you. How was your day, darling?" Steve asked.

"I got some Christmas shopping done. Oh, Tony called he wants us over tonight by seven."

"Right, that is in three hours what do you want to do until then Mrs. Rogers."

"Will you ever get tired of calling me that?" Evelyn giggled.

"No, and I will never will. Mrs. Rogers"

"Whatever you say, Captain."

Evelyn smiled up at him with a playful grin. Steve smiled back at her. Before he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Then he started to carry up the stairs to their bedroom as she playfully tried to stop him.

"Jarvis turn off the lights please," Evelyn said.

"Will do Mrs. Rogers" Jarvis said.

Steve placed her down on their bed. She crawled away from to the other side of the bed with a smile along with her childlike laughter. He quickly started to kneel on the bed and crawl toward her with playful grin on his face. Their playful cat and mouse game quickly turn into passionate love-making.

Later they were both wrapped in the sheet; her head was cradled under his arm as she idly tracing patterns on his chest. Steve was rubbing down her spine taking pleasure as she let little breathy moans; he looked down at her with smile on his face. Evelyn smiled back at him leaned down and kissed his chest near his neck. His hand traveled up her spine to back of her head tangling in her hair; he placed kiss on the top of her head. A wide boyish grin spread across his face as he thought about their future child.

"Just think about it hopefully, by this time next year we will have a baby on the way." Steve said.

Steve kissed the top of her head again. Evelyn looked up at him trying to find a way to tell him that; she was pregnant. She was not really thinking when the next few words came out of her mouth.

"It's going to be sooner than that?"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that this time next year we will have a baby."

"You're pregnant. God, are you alright? Did I hurt you? Do you feel pain anywhere?" Steve asked frantically.

Steve got on his knees and started to search for any sign of injury; he had a worried look about hurting her. Evelyn tried hard to contain her giggles, as started to rub his arms trying sooth him.

"Steve, sweetheart you are going give yourself a heart attack. You need to calm down."

Steve hands traveled to still flat belly; he smiled and looked in her eyes. There was still a worry look across his face as moved to rest his forehead against her forehead. Evelyn placed her hand his face and smiled at him. Once Steve was assured that she was not hurt in any way. Steve rolled onto the bed pulling Evelyn on his chest. His hands were resting protectively over her belly.

"We're having a baby" Steve said with a smile across his face.

"Yes"

The excitement was clear in her voice, with smile that went from ear to ear. Steve could not help but smile as she cuddled up to him; he looked down at her as she looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"You need to rest. I could not live with myself if anything happened to you or the baby because me."

"Steve sweetheart you know; I'm not made of glass."

"I know darling"

Steve ran his one hand down her spine in soothing way; he was hoping to lull her back to sleep so he could come to terms with all his thoughts. Evelyn yawned and curled more into Steve's chest.

"Sleep baby I will watch over you."

"Wake me in half an hour, so I can get ready"

"Don't worry about baby I will."

Soon Evelyn was asleep curled up content to be Steve's arms but sleep would not claim him too many thought were filling his head; there were million of things that could go wrong, he was working with S.H.I.E.L.D. on the Mandarin case with all the attacks he was worried about be called away from her now that he knew that she needed him the most. He needed to talk to someone about this at least he hopefully could get chance to talk with Tony tonight.
