Sharon: Do you mind coming in here? It would be weird to talk in the hall.

S: Oh sure. I'm so sorry. Excuse me.

Steve entered the room.

Sharon: Sit down, please.

Sharon pointed to the chair, after Steve came in. Sharon closed the door.

S: Are you okay? How's the change? You need something?

Sharon: Steve.

Steve looked at Sharon and she continued to indicate the chair.

Sharon: Please don't be like this with me. We know each other better than that. Sit down.

Steve nodded, he sighed and walked over to the chair to sit down.

Steve sat down and felt odd to be in the presence of a normal Sharon. A Sharon that he fell in love once in the past and was going to have a lifetime with her. It was very weird and tense to be with her now.

Steve scratched his forehead lightly.

Sharon: How are you?

Sharon decided to break Steve's nervousness with a simple question.

Steve looked at her and nodded.

S: Fine... I'm fine. What about you?

Sharon: I'm better now. Living in society.

Sharon walked over to the bed and sat on the mattress, she had to sit on her side so she could have eye contact with Steve.

Sharon sighed and looked at her knees for a few seconds, until she faced Steve again.

Sharon: What about your son? I saw him earlier today, he grew so much.

S: He's fine, he's great, actually.

Sharon: He's looking a lot like you. He is going to be a handsome man.

S: Do you think that?

Steve smiled and Sharon smiled back, nodding.

S: Nat always says that, but I don't think he looks that much with me.

Steve lowered his head and made negative with his head.

S: I'm sorry.

Sharon: For what?

S: I... I mentioned Natasha.

Sharon shrugged.

Sharon: It's all right, Steve.

Steve looked at Sharon and she nodded again.

Sharon: She's his mother, I understand. What about the little girl?

S: Sarah? She is amazing, she is learning everything very fast, she is already saying some words, she is learning to walk too, you must to see.

Sharon: I certainly hope to see that.

Sharon said excitedly.

Sharon: I was thinking about her...

Steve watched Sharon, waiting for her to finish.

Sharon: She's a blessing, right? I really like her.

S: Yes, she is.

Sharon: She found you, when she could have been dead if she had stayed outside. Sometimes I think it was a gift from God to you. For us.

Steve was smiling and nodding until he heard the "For us."

Sharon: I don't want to sound crazy.

S: You're not, don't worry.

Sharon: It's just that we lost a girl and then you won a girl...

Sharon gave a short laugh.

Sharon: Isn't that strange?

S: You're right, it seems like a gift from God.

Sharon: Yeah... Steve, I want to be a part of her life.

Steve took a deep breath, feeling apprehensive.

S: Sharon... I... Look, I would be happy with that.

Steve said strangely.

Sharon: I know what I did to her in the past, but I didn't hurt her, I would never hurt her. I wanted her as a daughter.

S: I heard about it.

Sharon: I know it's hard to trust me now.

S: I trust you, Sharon.

Sharon: I wish we could form a family. The three of us.

S: Sharon, I...

Sharon: I know, that's not what I meant, for you to stay with me and her, it just came out that way.

S: It's not only that, Sharon, but Sarah sees Natasha as a mother, they spend a lot of time together. Sarah has more than one year old now and she's been with Natasha all that time...

Sharon: I'm not stupid, Steve.

S: I didn't mean you were.

Sharon: I wanted to be her mother, but I know it's too late for that. I know that Natasha is already occupying that position. I just wanted to spend more time with her once in a while.

S: I don't see any problem in that.

Sharon: But do you think she'll see?

S: Natasha? No. She doesn't care.

Sharon: But maybe she cares about my second request to you.

S: What is it?

...

Meanwhile, in the refectory.

Bucky: Are you sure you're ready to work?

Clint smiled and gestured at Bucky.

C: Now you see this guy here, thinking I'm still dead.

Laura put her hand on Clint's arm.

L: You've been through so much, he's worried and so am I.

C: Not you too, woman.

L: My love, I just don't want to lose you again.

C: You will not lose me if I'm cutting wood and building furniture out there. It's something I used to do all the time.

Pepper: I think Barton is right. The doctors didn't forbid him to work. He is fine.

Pepper declared as she gave some food for the twins.

Tony: Yes, guys, stop wanting to kill who is alive. If it was to treat him like he was dead, he didn't even need to come back.

L: Never talk about death again! I can't bear to think about what I went through!

Clint sat down on the side so that he could look at Laura, he put his hand on her face.

C: Honey... Listen to me.

Clint looked into her eyes.

C: I love you, but you're acting like a crazy person.

Laura looked concerned, but she laughed at Clint's words.

C: Quick, disguise before they get you in F Wing!

L: Stop!

Laura laughed even more, making Clint smile, then he wrapped his arm around her neck and kissed her fondly.

Ju: I think that makes you an unemployed man.

Juliana looked at Bucky.

Tony: Don't worry your boyfriend will get you something to do in a blink of an eye.

Ju: Maybe you can help me.

C: Barnes in the infirmary?

T: Barnes in the infirmary it's only to heal himself. This one costs me more money than my children.

C: That's not true, he's also going to the infirmary to see Juliana.

Clint smiled at Juliana, who was slightly flushed and smiled.

P: Sorry guys, the chat is fine, but it's bath time. Tony, help me, get Howie while I take Peter, please.

T: After you shower the babies, can you give me a shower? Like, my back hurts, and a care from time to time doesn't hurt.

Pepper was already standing with Peter on her lap, she looked at Tony reprovingly.

T: It's been a while, don't you think, my dear?

P: Tony, do as I say...

Pepper walked out of the refectory.

Tony took Howie in his lap and was slow to get up, he looked at Juliana.

T: You like babies, don't you?

Juliana stared at Tony.

T: Couldn't you stay with the twins for like... 4 hours at least?

Ju: I... I'm sorry, I'll be busy right now.

T: Two hours?

Juliana sighed and shook her head.

Ju: Tomorrow would be a good day.

T: Tomorrow?

Tony looked at Laura.

T: What about you?

P: TONY!

Pepper reappeared near the entrance to the refectory.

T: I can pay!

L: Pepper was very clear, Tony. She doesn't want the twins in the nursery all the time, she wants to raise them, herself and you.

T: But I don't have anything to do with this decision, because for me they stayed in nursery, with nannies and etc.

P: TONY!

Tony looked at Pepper.

P: If the twins take a shower, they will sleep...

Tony stared at Pepper, confused, and then a light went on in his head.

T: So it would be my turn to take a shower?

Pepper nodded.

Tony patted the table, smiling excitedly and jumped up with Howie Stark, he waved at those at the table to say goodbye.

T: Good for me!

Clint looked at his wife.

C: I'll introduce myself to work and you should do the same. The children must be missing Aunt Laura.

Laura nodded.

C: See you guys.

Clint and Laura got up and the only ones on the table now were Bucky and Juliana.

Ju: Finished eating?

B: Yeah, I was just waiting for Steve to show up, but I don't think he's going to have lunch today.

Ju: Come on then.

B: Where?

Ju: To your room.

Bucky looked at Juliana, then raised his eyebrows.

B: I thought you told Stark that you would be busy this afternoon.

Ju: Yes. With you.

B: So... Is this happening? Today?

Juliana nodded and smiled.

Ju: If you have nothing to do and still want...

B: I want to!

Bucky gave Juliana a peck.

B: I was just surprised, but ok, I thought this day would never come. Let's go...

Bucky got up and held out his hand to Juliana.

Juliana looked at Bucky and then put her hand over his, she got up and walked hand in hand with him out of the refectory.

As they reached the elevator, Bucky pressed the button to call the elevator and stared at Juliana, who avoided any eye contact with him.

Bucky chuckled and Juliana looked at him.

Ju: What?

B: You're getting embarrassed.

Ju: N-no. I am not. I'm just waiting for the elevator... Just like you.

Bucky laughed even more and pulled her hand, making her body move in front of his.

Bucky let go of her hands, but only to be able to hug her waist from behind.

Juliana sighed as she felt Bucky's chin rest on her shoulder.

- Elevator going down.

The elevator announced on arrival.

Juliana tried to walk to enter the elevator, but Bucky held her.

Ju: Bucky!

Bucky didn't let her go and didn't move.

- Doors closing.

Ju: Bucky! The elevator! It's going to close and go down!

B: Let it go down.

Ju: But...

B: We'll stay here, like this, until you feel ready to go forward. You are nervous.

Juliana watched the elevator going down and took a deep breath, then she smiled.

Ju: I don't think I'll ever not be nervous.

B: Okay.

Juliana frowned and turned her face a little to look at Bucky.

Ju: What? Are we going to stay here forever then?

B: Yes.

Ju: Bucky!

Juliana began to laugh.

Ju: You can't be serious.

B: I am.

Juliana laughed and shook her head.

Ju: Okay.

B: Okay.

The elevator went up again.

- Elevator going down.

The doors opened and some people came out from the elevator.

Juliana looked serious and embarrassed, she had the impression that people were judging the two of them by being hugged in front of the elevator, she doesn't think that this is decent.

Juliana cleared her throat and Bucky smiled at the people coming out of the elevator.

B: Good afternoon! She is my girlfriend!

- Good for you!

Said a woman as she walked away.

B: It's great for me, actually...

Bucky continued to smile and Juliana put her hand on her forehead to cover her face of so much shame she felt. Bucky kissed her cheek.

B: They're gone, you can open your eyes now.

Ju: You're killing me.

B: It could be worse.

Ju: How could it be worse?

B: We could be naked.

Ju: We would never get naked here. You are crazy.

B: I would totally be naked here. Want to see?

Bucky let go of Juliana and grabbed his shirt to remove. Juliana held his hand at the same time.

Ju: Are you crazy? No! Please!

Bucky laughed and hugged Juliana's waist, he lifted her a little from the floor and she hugged his neck and looked into his eyes.

Juliana smiled.

Bucky let Juliana's body slide down and as her body descended, he laid his lips to hers and Juliana kissed him.

As soon as Juliana's feet touched the floor again, she looked at Bucky.

Ju: I'm ready.

Bucky looked at her and finally felt it was true now, because she was looking into his eyes with no sign of fear or embarrassment.

Juliana turned to call the elevator, but Bucky grabbed her arm.

B: There's no time for that...

Ju: What?

Bucky took Juliana's hand and pulled her to the stairs, the two of them running down the stairs, while Juliana laughed at Bucky's spontaneous and unusual manner.

Bucky opened his dorm's door and waited for Juliana to go in.

Juliana entered the room and walked to the center of the room.

Juliana turned to check Bucky and he had just closed a door and was already taking off his shirt.

Bucky looked into her eyes as he threw his shirt away and he continued to look into her eyes as he walked over to her.

Juliana caught her breath when she saw Bucky without a shirt, she didn't know where to look, so she moved her eyes to his chest, then to his face, then to his abdomen.

Bucky stopped in front of her and smiled.

B: Don't forget to breathe...

Juliana finally let out the air she held, she looked into Bucky's eyes and smiled again, she took her as hands behind her body to open her dress, but Bucky held her waist and turned her body.

B: Leave that to me...

Juliana lowered her head, then she looked at Bucky over her shoulder as he unzipped her dress.

Bucky slowed to unzip Juliana's dress and when he finally did that, he made sure to let one hand caress her skin to remove her dress.

The first thing Juliana did was put her arms over her breasts, even being with her back to Bucky.

Bucky brushed her hair off the back of her neck, putting it to one side and he spread kisses on her neck, making Juliana close her eyes and sigh.

Bucky kissed all her neck and then the tip of Juliana's ear as he placed his arms over hers, which still covered her breasts.

Bucky dragged his mouth lightly over Juliana's cheekbone and waited for her to signal him to go forward.

Feeling Bucky's lips on her face, along with his breathing and feeling his arms, touching areas of her body that no one had ever touched before, made Juliana turn her face more towards Bucky, it was natural, like a magnet.

Bucky just waited, he watched as Juliana slowly turned to him, and as she pressed her lips to his, she relaxed her arms and made no further attempt to hide anything and all he did was correspond to her kiss, holding on to her.

...

Back in the room where Sharon was talking to Steve...

S: So, what is it?

Sharon: I want a baby.

Steve frowned, confused.

Sharon: My baby. One that is all and only mine. I deserve this.

S: Yes...

Steve answered slowly.

S: You deserve it.

Sharon: Steve, what I want is to get pregnant again.

S: Hm...

Sharon: And I need you to be the father.

S: What??

**Whaaaaat. Will Steve say yes?**
