Hidden Secrets

Parts 361 & 362

Y/N: Ok. Did you see her?
SR: Yes. But not why you think.
Y/N: Why did you go?
SR: To keep a promise I made to her.
Y/N: What would that be?
SR: I promised that after our last mission together I would take her dancing.
Y/N: Dancing? That's what it was?
SR: Sounds crazy, doesn't it?
Y/N: Not at all.
SR: Your dad thought I was.
Y/N: Wait...Dad knew?
SR: He didn't say anything?
Y/N: This whole time we were trying to find out where you were and he knew. The whole time.
SR: I told him not to say anything but I thought he would've said something once it went wrong.
Y/N: He never said a word.
SR: Don't be mad at him. I asked him not to.
Y/N: Why not? We had a better chance of getting you faster if only we knew where you were.
SR: It doesn't matter. I'm here now.
Y/N: Did Wanda know?
SR: I don't know if he told her or not.
Y/N: If I wasn't in so much pain...
SR: Let's deal with it tomorrow.
*You lay down in bed wrapped in his arms happy to finally have him home but can't shake the feeling you have about being betrayed by your own father. The next morning you're having breakfast with Steve after the kids go to school. Then there's a knock on the door.*
SR: I'm guessing everyone is coming over.
Y/N: They know about Sarah. Do they know you're back?
SR: Let's find out.

*You sit back and relax while he answers the door. You stay quiet to hear their reaction when they see Steve standing there.*
NR: Steve? How...when...
SR: Last night. How are you, Romanoff?
NR: Doing good. Welcome home.
TS: I see you got the message.
SR: I did. Thank you.
Pep: Welcome back. And congratulations.
TS: Yes, congratulations. Where is she?
SR: They are both in the living room. Come on in.
*Everyone comes into the living room where you're sitting. Sarah is sleeping in a bassinet next to you.*
NR: Welcome home to you too.
TS: And don't run off like that again.
Pep: Tony, stop. We're not here to get onto her.
Y/N: Thank you, Pepper.
NR: Where's the baby?
Y/N: Right here. Meet Sarah Marie.
*The front door opens and Bucky and Wanda walk in. Steve can see by the look on your face that you're not happy to see them.*
Bar: Are we late to the party?
SR: Not at all. But I need to talk to you two in private.
*He takes them to the kitchen away from everyone.*
SR: I want to start by saying thank you for taking care of her and the kids.
Bar: She's my daughter. I would do anything for her.
SR: That being said, I may or may not have gotten you two in trouble with Y/N.
Bar: What did you do?
WM: She knows that we knew about your plan.
SR: I thought for sure you would tell her once you realized something went wrong.
WM: What can we do?
SR: She's hurt. Just give her some time.
