The following days, weeks, and months we spent busy with work and trying to make sure everything was running smoothly. I had decided that it was a good time to go see Peggy. It had been a little while since the last time I saw her and I missed her. When I was little I had always spent so much time with her. So the last little while seeing someone that was always so strong and capable, slowly getting older and unable to do things that I had watched her do so many times broke my heart. It was even harder watching her slowly forget things that used to be the things she told me.

I knew that she would not always be around but it still didn't make it easier knowing she would one day leave this life and I knew my life would be very different without her. I walked to her room after being told she was having a good day. I knocked on her door and she looked up. Once she saw me she started to smile.

"There is my favorite girl."

"Peggy, I have missed you." I walked over and hugged her.

"I have missed you, my dear. Look how beautiful you are, growing up into a wonderful lady."

"Thank you, Peggy. I just need to head to S.H.I.E.L.D at 4. Work is never done after all."

"Don't worry, I will make sure you are there. We have at least an hour together."

"I wish we had more time though but I'm always running from one place to the next anymore."

"You should find time for yourself."

"If only it would work out like that."

"How old are you now?"

"Twenty"

"I remember that time, I can't believe it has been that long since we lost Howard and Maria. So happy things though are you seeing anyone?"

"No, I guess there is no guy here for me."

"There is someone out there for everyone. Even I found love. I think loving Steve helped me with that."

"What do you mean?"

"Steve helped me see myself. He helped me to be better. After he was gone I didn't think I would find love but I did and I was very happy in my life."

"Well, I'm glad you found your love. I don't know if there is love for me though. Everyone now likes me so they can get close to dad. Before the world knew he was my dad, no one liked me."

"I'm no one, the others are no one?"

"You know what I mean. I have no friends my age. No one outside of Shield or people other than I work with. The people I grew up around. School was miserable because I had no friends at school. At the time everyone thought my dad was not around."

"You will find your people, I have faith in you."

"Thank you, Peggy."

"You know your grandfather was probably one of my close friends. I think I was one of his as well. I remember when he found out about you he came to talk to me.

'Howard was pacing about in front of Peggy in the office.
"I just can't believe in Peg's, I have always told him to be careful."

"You like Lilly thought. We all Like her, she is good for him, this baby will be good for them. I know that as soon as the baby is here you will be wrapped around the little finger of the baby. So what is the problem?"

"Peggy, how am I supposed to be a grandfather? I'm not even that good of a father."

"Howard, you may not be perfect but you love Tony. I know you don't always see eye to eye. What if this is all happening for a reason. This baby could bring you all closer together. You and Tony could bond over this baby."
