Jayden POV


Me and Steve are settled in on the couch watching the wizard of OZ, Steve had his arm draped over the back of the couch above my head, I was close by his side as I was snuggled into a blanket, the past few days it's been really cold or at least I think so, I was stuffing popcorn in my mouth,

"Easy Jayden don't wanna spoil your dinner," Steve said

Lately Steve and Tony have been how do I put this nicely, Way too protective and weirdly concerned, I thought

We were at the part where she meets the scarecrow, when Loki walked in the room,

"Oh little fox I've been searching for you," Loki said

I jumped off the couch as Steve paused the movie,

He had a bag in his hand,

"What's in the bag?" I asked walking over to him looking up at him,

"Why don't you open it and find out," He said handing it too me,

I opened it and smiled,

"Oh this is adorable!" I said grabbing the toy out of the bag,

It was a stuffed Fox,

"What's the occasion?" I asked tilting my head,

"What's the occasion?" I asked tilting my head,

"Can't I simply get a gift for my friend?" Loki said

"You really should hand out with people your own age," I said smiling up at him

This caused Steve to choke on his drink,

"what can I say you are far more enjoyable company," He said

"Enjoy little fox," Loki said walking off,

"Steve look what Loki got me," I said smiling at him as I sat next to him,

"That's great munchkin," Steve said ruffling my hair,

We continued to watch the movie but not long I felt darkness take me, I was sleepy not to mention they have been making me stay away from sugar,


Steve POV


I looked down, and Jayden's head was in my lap her breathing slow and even, meaning she was asleep, She was clutching onto the toy Loki got her,

I brushed some of her hair out of her face, she is an angle brought to us that's for sure, we were starting to give up hope, then she walked into our lives,

I gently picked her up, her head resting in the crook of my neck as the hand that is still holding the toy is next to her head and the other was on my other shoulder,

as I was walking down the hall I see Tony, he looks up from his tablet,

"Kid looks spent, but you do know if she naps now she's not going to sleep tonight," He said

Yeah we kind of figured out her sleep schedule since we hid anything that is super sugary, like cookies, from her, so now that she's getting natural sugar like in fruit or veggies, she runs out of energy a little faster, but its better for her since she's not just eating junk,

But the past few days she will crash then be up all night, I mean we've been trying to keep her up but sometimes she just can't or she'll get more cranky than Fury without coffee,

"I know I was trying to keep her awake but as you can see," I said

He chuckled

"What's that?" Tony said looking at the toy,

"Loki got it for her," I said

"Hmm who knew the god has a heart," Tony said

"I heard that!" Loki yelled

We walked into the room where we have her sleeping it is right across from our room, I laid her on the bed gently,

Tony took her shoes off, and I covered her with the blanket, I turned off the light and the nightlight lit up the room it was a little globe on the dresser that lit the room up with stars,

We walked out of the room,

"You know as much as she won't admit it, I think she's growing just as attached to us as we are to her," Tony said

"You think so?" I asked

He nodded,

I smiled hoping he was right because we filled out papers, to adopt Jayden, we have one of Tony's top lawyers seeing to it, and he's one of Tony's good buddy's" I thought

We will tell her when she's ready I thought
